Chapter 50: Poaching in person
The Riverside Tribe not only showed the people of the Jintuo Tribe the metal knife, but also invited them to see the furnace smelting metal.
Qingkuo smiled and said to Jinshi and the others: "Originally, the furnace should be the secret of our tribe and cannot be shown to you. Jianmo said that you have come all the way here and have taken a big risk. We can't let you bear all the risks, so we discussed it and decided to show you the furnace."
Jinshi: "Thank you, Doctor Jianmo, thank you."
Qingkuo: "You're welcome. We want to show our sincerity when doing business." Qingkuo
and the others took the people of the Jintuo Tribe to the furnace in the back mountain.
The furnace was already burning, and Qingkuo and the others put the metal blocks in in front of the people of the Jintuo Tribe.
The orcs of the Riverside Tribe pulled the bellows, their arm muscles bulged, and sweat dripped from their bodies.
As sparks came out, the metal blocks in the furnace quickly burned red, showing a semi-molten texture.
The people of the Jintuo Tribe couldn't help but whisper:
"Isn't this melting too fast?"
"What a powerful furnace!"
"What is this wheezing thing? Why have I never seen it before?"
With the volume of the orcs, even if the sound was lowered, everyone could still hear it.
Jian Mo frowned in his heart, it seems that he is not the only one who is not good at doing business.
The ordinary orcs of the Jintuo Tribe were more amazed, while the backbone of the tribe centered on gold and stone had a solemn look on their faces.
Jinshi asked, "Can we take a closer look?"
Qingkuang made a gesture of invitation, "Of course you can, you can also pick out the metal block inside, but be careful not to burn yourself."
Jinshi led people forward and carefully observed the metal block inside from the mouth of the furnace.
After looking for a long time, Jinshi took the pliers from Dejiang's hand, picked out the metal block inside, and examined it carefully.
The metal block was like red-hot charcoal. When it was picked up, the texture did not look like metal.
Jinshi could not say what it looked like at the moment, but he could see that this piece of metal should be very easy to forge.
Thinking of this, Jin Shi placed the metal block on the large stone used for forging next to him, and personally wielded the stone hammer to forge the metal block. With
just one hammer strike, Jin Shi immediately felt the benefits of the furnace.
The metal block baked out of the furnace was too soft, and once it was struck, the metal block immediately deformed, unlike the furnace in their tribe, where the smelted metal block remained hard after being struck for a long time. After a day of hammering, everyone's hands were red and swollen from the hammering.
Jian Mo and the others had been observing the expression on Jin Shi's face, and when they saw his expression change slightly, they immediately knew that the exchange was settled.
The Jintuo tribe guarded the mineral veins and had been dealing with metal for generations.
Even if the smelting furnace can only save them a little trouble, it will definitely save a lot of labor over time.
Sure enough, after forging the metal block for a while, Jin Shi handed the hammer in his hand to the person next to him and said with emotion: "It is really very useful."
Wu Jiong: "Our tribe has always been here and will not cheat you. Besides, we hope that our two tribes can continue to be good."
Jin Shi patted Wu Jiong on the shoulder: "You are right, I hope that our two tribes can continue to be good."
Wu Jiong: "Then let's discuss the exchange?"
"Okay." Jin Shi raised his head and looked at Jian Mo, "Doctor Jian Mo will also come to discuss it, right?"
Jian Mo raised his head and looked at him and nodded.
The Riverside Tribe had previously offered conditions, wanting to use the technology of burning charcoal and smelting furnaces in exchange for two hundred baskets of metal.
Now the people of the Jintuo tribe have brought the metal here, and the people of the Riverside tribe have also shown them the metal. The foreshadowing has been almost complete, and there are no other problems in the exchange.
The two tribes quickly discussed and decided to formally exchange.
The people of the Jintuo tribe are kind, and the Riverside tribe is also kind. After the exchange, they specially let them stay in the tribe for a while, intending to teach them the technology clearly and thoroughly.
This time the handover of materials between the two tribes is considered a tribe-to-tribe handover, and it does not go through personal hands.
However, according to the content discussed by the tribe before, one hundred baskets of metal belong to Jian Mo.
Jian Mo felt his hands were burning with these 100 baskets of metal. He asked Wu Jiong, "Are you really going to give these metals to me? Won't someone accuse you of partiality?"
Wu Jiong, "The tribe has held several meetings to decide this matter, and no one has any objection."
Jian Mo, "Then I will really take them."
Wu Jiong nodded, "Go ahead. Where do you want to put them? Behind the house? I'll have them transport them here tomorrow."
Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "The metal in the tribe is Should we put it in the cave? Can my part of the metal be stored in the cave together? If we move it to the backyard, it will be exposed to the wind and rain, and I am afraid it will rust soon. "
Wu Jiong: "Then put it in another cave. I will install a door. When you need the metal, just go and get it, so as not to mix it with the metal in the tribe."
Jian Mo's eyes lit up: "That's also good, I think it's okay!"
After breakfast the next day, Wu Jiong took people to move the metal.
After Jian Mo cleaned up the house, he planned to go over to take a look.
Unexpectedly, before he had time to go, the people of the Jintuo tribe came to his door first.
"Doctor Jian Mo." A large group of people greeted Jian Mo enthusiastically, "We are here to see you for dental treatment."
Jian Mo heard that they were going to see him and immediately asked, "Do you have problems with your teeth again?"
"No, no. Didn't you tell us last time to brush our teeth and check our teeth regularly? I finally came here, so I want to see you."
Jian Mo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine, come here and let me see you."
A group of people followed him into the house without saying a word.
Jian Mo asked them to sit down, and asked them to look up, and checked their teeth one by one.
They may have really brushed their teeth well during this period, and the condition of their teeth is much better than last time. It seems that there is no problem, as long as they continue to maintain it.
Jian Mo praised them: "Your teeth are in good condition. Keep brushing your teeth."
The people of Jintuo tribe were a little excited: "Really? That's great."
"Doctor Jian Mo, we have made the medical equipment you mentioned last time. They are all in this animal skin bag. Take a look."
"We have made pliers, knives, scissors and needles. Do you think they are what you want?"
It was Jian Mo who suggested the scissors. He didn't know how to nail, so he suggested making two pieces of scissors, one with an irregular protrusion and the other with an irregular hole. The two pieces of scissors together will always be firm as long as they are not twisted to a certain angle.
He opened the animal skin bag handed over by the people of the Jintuo tribe and looked at the scissors first.
The scissors were just as he imagined. The blades had been sharpened and gleamed with cold light. They looked very useful.
Jian Mo held the heavy pair of scissors, and his heart was heavy: "You guys are so expensive. You actually made me a full set of metal tools."
The people of Jintuo tribe looked at each other. Although they thought Jian Mo's words were a bit strange, they understood what he meant.
One of the beastmen said: "You helped us with our teeth, and you also proposed the technology of burning charcoal and making furnaces. We should thank you."
Jian Mo told the truth: "Last time I helped you with your teeth, you gave me pearl algae and ore. This time, in exchange for technology, our tribe also gave me half of it. I got the advantage when dealing with you. No need to thank me."
When Jian Mo said this, the people of Jintuo tribe laughed together.
"Hey, metal is easy to find, but technology is not available everywhere. Besides, we are willing to exchange it with you only because we heard that out of two hundred baskets of metal blocks, one hundred baskets will belong to you. Otherwise, we will have to bargain for the price."
"That's right. Doctor Jian Mo, the tools you taught us to make are also a kind of technology. Thanks to you teaching us, we now have scissors in our tribe, which are very useful."
"Doctor Jian Mo, can we exchange these scissors and other things you taught us with others? We can make the metal into scissors and exchange them for other things."
Jian Mo heard them say this and smiled, "I'm already taking advantage, of course I can. If you want to make other things, you can also tell me, maybe I can have some suggestions."
When the people of the Jintuo tribe heard him say this, they actually asked a lot of questions about the uses of metal tools.
Jian Mo simply talked about daily gadgets such as metal nails and nail clippers.
The last thing the Jintuo tribe lacks is metal. Even if the tribe doesn't need it, it can be made into tools and exchanged with other tribes.
After listening to Jian Mo's various suggestions, everyone was very happy and wanted to run back to the tribe right away to make all the wonderful gadgets Jian Mo mentioned.
After talking about these gadgets, the people of the Jintuo tribe began to warmly invite Jian Mo:
"Doctor Jian Mo, do you want to live in our tribe? Our tribe is a little warmer and has abundant resources."
"That's right, if you lack anything, we can exchange it with other tribes for you."
"Doctor Jian Mo, why don't you come to our tribe to be a priest? Big tribes all have priests, and our tribe is about to develop into a big tribe, and we just happen to be in need of a priest."
The people of the Jintuo tribe have always been enthusiastic, and they are even more enthusiastic when it comes to poaching.
Jian Mo was not a talkative person, and the people of the Jintuo tribe were afraid that he would refuse, so they jokingly mentioned a lot of treatments.
Almost every one of these treatments was better than the treatment given by the Riverside Tribe.
Jin Shi said, "We have inquired about it. You are not from the Riverside Tribe. It is cold here, and life is not convenient. Living here is not comfortable, and you can't give full play to your talents. Why don't you come with us to live in the tribe? Life in our tribe is much more comfortable than here."
Other orcs from the Jintuo tribe also persuaded:
"Doctor Jian Mo, if you want to come back and take a look, we can send you back at any time."
"Doctor Jian Mo, if you think we walk too slowly, we can also use metal blocks to ask fast orcs from other tribes to send you back." "By the way, Doctor Jian Mo, don't you have a winged beast? I heard that it is very difficult to raise a winged beast here, and it takes a lot of time to find food for it. If it comes to our tribe, it won't be so troublesome. The algae in the river are enough for it to eat. If it doesn't work, it can exchange food with other tribes."
"Doctor Jian Mo, if you want to find a partner in our tribe, we welcome it. There are a lot of single beastmen in our tribe, you can find any one of them. We all like you very much."
Qing Kuang and Wu Jiong had just led people to move metal blocks and came back when they heard these words. They almost got angry.
Qing Kuang gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "I was wondering why they were so straightforward this time? It turns out they wanted to leave a good impression on Jian Mo and poach us! Two hundred baskets of metal blocks is really too little."
Wu Jiong looked inside and narrowed his eyes.
Qing Kuang pulled Wu Jiong: "Come on, let's go in and reason with them!"
Wu Jiong: "No, listen for a while and see what else they have to say?"
Jian Mo was surrounded by enthusiasm and felt that this group of guys was more difficult to deal with than the gold medal sales.
After all, the gold medal sales couldn't really take the non-existent money out of his pocket, but this group of guys might really lure him to the Jintuo tribe.
What's more, he felt that he owed someone a favor, so his momentum was naturally three points lower.
When the people of Jintuo tribe talked about other things, he listened in a good-tempered manner.
Until the
topic of partners came up, Jian Mo immediately became alert, waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, I already have a partner." The people of Jintuo tribe were surprised.
Jian Mo coughed lightly, straightened his back slightly and said: "I am with Wu Jiong, we just got together recently. He treats me very well, and the tribe treats me very well."
Jian Mo: "The most important thing is that I like him, and don't mention finding other partners."
