Chapter 118: Primitive Trade
Under Han Cheng's deliberate arrangement, the Green Sparrow Tribe significantly impacted the tribes that came this time.
Their biggest impression of the Green Sparrow Tribe was affluence and generosity. Besides, the delicious food left a lasting impression.
The astonishing herds of deer and fish might evoke envy, but these required skills to obtain. However, the irresistibly delicious food was a different story.
Although this way of eating was novel, it was easy to learn. All they needed to do was add water to the things the Green Sparrow Tribe called "pots" or "jars" and cook them over the fire.
During the leisure time of the festive gathering, the leaders of these tribes exchanged thoughts on this matter with the Eldest Senior Brother.
The Eldest Senior Brother responded that he couldn't decide on this matter. He needed to consult the Shaman and the Divine Child.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
Regarding this, the leaders of these tribes felt sympathetic towards the Eldest Senior Brother. In their tribes, there was no Shaman, let alone a Divine Child. In their tribes, what they said was what it was. Unlike the Eldest Senior Brother, who, despite being a leader, couldn't decide many things.
However, when they learned that the Green Sparrow Tribe could live so well, all thanks to the Divine Child, their sympathy immediately became envy.
Han Cheng was not surprised after hearing the Eldest Senior Brother's words. The reason he made a big show of providing these people with food was not just to showcase the affluence of the Green Sparrow Tribe and make them desire such a lifestyle but also to use pottery to exchange goods with them.
The Green Sparrow Tribe's main food source is fish, supplemented by wild vegetables. Due to most people being engaged in construction, hunting activities were rare, so there was little game meat.
Han Cheng wanted to take this opportunity to let the surrounding tribes witness the benefits of pottery. By greatly increasing the value of pottery, he could then use it to exchange for some food.
After more than a year of continuous development, coupled with the extraordinary talent of Hei Wa in pottery making, the pottery-making technology of the Green Sparrow Tribe had grown considerably.
For the current Green Sparrow Tribe, making pottery was not difficult. Compared to hunting, making pottery was much more stable and secure.
Han Cheng believed that it was very feasible to use this kind of pottery in exchange for food from other tribes.
He told the Eldest Senior Brother about this idea and asked him to convey it to the tribes' leaders who wanted pottery.
The leader of the Green Tribe was the cleverest. After hearing the Eldest Senior Brother's words, he immediately took out half of the food they had brought this time. Then, he hurriedly came to the large pot used for cooking, placed the food there, and gestured that he wanted that.
They probably thought free meals were always this delicious.
A certain Divine Child stood proudly at the entrance of the Green Sparrow Tribe, watching the departing tribes with the joy of a cat that successfully stole a fish.
A sense of satisfaction from bullying primitive people rose and lingered in his mind.
However, his appearance, covered in animal skins, lowered the impressiveness of the scene by several levels.
Apart from these two matters, another thing surprised these leaders.
The chief of the Pig Tribe led the people of the Pig Tribe to join the Green Sparrow Tribe.
After learning why the Pig Tribe joined the Green Sparrow Tribe, these leaders fell somewhat silent.
This silence was more about worrying that a powerful and evil tribe had appeared nearby and being thankful that such a tribe had not attacked their tribes. Only a small part of it was sympathy for the fate of the Pig Tribe.
After returning to their senses from this annoying matter, these leaders gradually discovered that the neighboring tribe before them had become unexpectedly powerful.
Their strength was not originally the strongest among the nearby tribes; the Bone Tribe held that position.
However, after absorbing ten people, including the chief, from the Pig Tribe, the number of adults in the Green Sparrow Tribe was now approaching that of the originally most powerful Bone Tribe.
In this era, without dazzling magic and qi, without firearms, the number of adults often represented the strength of a tribe.
Especially after learning that the Green Sparrow Tribe had repelled the evil tribe, their astonishment grew even more.
Because, from the Eldest Senior Brother's mouth, they learned about the strength of that evil tribe.
With such formidable power, the tribe before them should be difficult to resist.
However, after the Eldest Senior Brother led them out of the tribe and went east to see the numerous bones that hadn't been completely burned even after the raging fire, their suspicions immediately vanished.
