Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family
Chapter 28 Trading Day
When they returned to the cave, Kong Yi had already cooked a pot of meat soup. The weather had been getting colder recently, so it was good to have a bowl of hot soup to warm up. After drinking the meat soup in his hand, Xiong Bo asked, "Are there many prey outside recently?"
Xiongya shook his head: "The weather is getting colder, and many small animals have gone into hiding. Only some large carnivorous animals are still out hunting and have not gone into hiding."
Xiongya has recently started to go out hunting with the hunting team. The other cubs are too young and are still staying at home to tend the fields. When they are older, they will also go out hunting with the team.
"How much food is left at home?" Xiong Bai turned to look at Kong Yi. He usually cooked more, so he knew the stock at home best.
"We only have dried meat at home, and we don't have much salt left." Kong Yi thought for a moment and replied, then added: "High Priest, we need to go change the salt."
Xiongbai finished the broth in his hand without saying a word. They used to exchange salt with the people of the Salt Lake Tribe. After the wildfire, they were not sure whether the Salt Lake Tribe had moved away. They had brought a lot of salt before because they had always been on good terms with the Salt Lake Tribe and rarely ran out of salt. The current situation really needed to be considered.
Cheng Mo was also a little troubled after hearing this. He used to extract salt by boiling salt stones. The salt stones he got at the beginning have been almost used up now. In addition, they ate together with the Langya tribe, so he had not thought about salt for a long time. Moreover, there were a lot of salt stones in the God-Forsaken Land, but he had never seen them outside.
"We have to go back to our original base before the heavy snow." Xiong Bai suddenly said, "I don't know if the people from the Salt Lake Tribe are still there. If they are not there, we have to wait until the trading day to go to Kataya to trade."
Cheng Mo was curious when he heard about the trading day for the first time: "Trading day? When is it? Where is Cartaya?"
Hen Yi looked at Cheng Mo with some doubt: "You don't know the trading day?"
Cheng Mo shook his head: "I used to live in a remote area. I had never heard of the trading day, nor had I ever been there."
Hen Yi was a little bit unbelievable, but he felt relieved when he thought of Cheng Mo's strange ideas and various magical operations. No wonder Cheng Mo could always come up with all kinds of good things and his ideas were also weird. He became more curious about Cheng Mo's tribe, so he asked: "What was the name of your previous tribe?"
Cheng Mo didn't dare to reveal his true identity. The system had originally given him a character that he was a female orc from a remote tribe. After accidentally getting lost, he lived alone in the God-forsaken Land. How could he know what his previous tribe was called? He could only make up a lie: "Yanhuang Tribe."
Although Hen Yi had never heard of it, he still said "oh". Cheng Mo immediately changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "What is there on that trading day? Can I go and take a look?"
As a high priest of a tribe, Xiongbai was only taken to communicate with various tribes when he was very young. After becoming a high priest, he never left his tribe again. He tried to recall: "There are a lot of animal skins, food, salt, and many beautiful things. If you want to go, let Xiongwu and the others take you there."
Cheng Mo was a little excited when he heard this. He wanted to know the delicacies in other tribes. He had grown so many vegetables, but unfortunately there were no rice seeds among the seeds. Maybe there would be rice or other seeds on that trading day! He wanted to eat rice so much!
Xiongwu, who was still drinking soup, did not hear what the high priest said, but he probably agreed to take Cheng Mo along.
"When is the trading day? Is that place far away? Can I exchange my things with other tribes? Or do I need to conduct a currency transaction?" Cheng Mo was very interested.
As Juebai got older, his memory declined a lot. He tried hard to recall the time of every transaction before, and finally came to a conclusion: "It seems that we will arrive soon. Cartaya is not far from us. Why don't we go directly to Cartaya to exchange salt? As long as someone is interested in your goods, you can exchange them. But what is currency?"
Cheng Mo laughed twice and did not answer Xiong Bo's doubts. It turned out that there was no currency here. That was more convenient. He began to think about what he could exchange for on the trading day. Ban Mu saw his thoughts and pointed to the pottery bowl in his hand and said, "This is great, Xiao Mo, take this with you."
Cheng Mo nodded. Pottery is now the most common thing here. The pottery making method in "The Exploitation of the Works of Nature" is more useful than his. They built two kilns and made a lot of pottery, even several spoons. Cheng Mo also led everyone to change a lot of living habits. Now everyone can use chopsticks, and they also pay attention to hygiene. If anyone does not pay attention to hygiene, Cheng Mo will chase and nag for a long time!
"Then we should prepare more ourselves?" Cheng Mo stood up and prepared to see how much extra pottery there was. Ban Mu quickly stopped him and said, "Xiao Mo, it's too late. Don't worry about it now. Go to bed early and come back tomorrow."
Cheng Mo nodded. He thought about going back in the evening to see if there was any method of making a cart or something like that in the book. If they wanted to bring pottery with them, it would be a big hassle to transport it. It would be a good idea to make a cart or something like that. When the time comes, they can put the things they need to change on the cart, and they can also carry more things.
Early the next morning——
Cheng Mo started flipping through books after waking up in the morning. Cheng Lingqu looked at his father's diligent appearance with sleepy eyes and felt a little helpless. His father kept muttering about tools and other things before going to bed last night and fell asleep very late. Why did he get up so early in the morning? It would be so cold for him to sleep alone!
Cheng Mo found out how to build a cart, and excitedly pulled Ban Mu to try to build one.
He first measured the position of the axle on a piece of wood, and then asked Banmu to cut a hole in that position, the size of which was just right for the axle to be installed. Then came the most important part of the wheel. The method of making a wheel in the book was to cut the wood into suitable shapes, and finally splice them together to form a wheel. This kind of wheel not only has a strong load-bearing capacity, but also is not easy to break. It is just more troublesome and needs to be planned in advance. Cheng Mo can only ask Xiongtai for help. He is careful in his work, and relying on the cart model drawn by Cheng Mo, Xiongtai quickly understood what he meant.
Three days later, Cheng Mo saw the two wheels made by Xiongtai. When the wheels and the wooden boards were put together, a somewhat rough wooden cart was made.
All the orcs were watching curiously. Cheng Mo tried to pull the cart by himself. With the help of wheels, he could pull such a heavy cart. However, the ground was uneven and it was easy to stumble. So Cheng Mo installed a fence for the cart and covered the bottom with dead grass and leaves. To prevent the pottery from breaking on the road, Cheng Mo wrapped the outside of each pottery with animal skins and filled the gaps.
Just like that, the few people who were fully prepared set off. They were short of manpower, so they finally decided to let Cheng Mo, Ban Mu, Hen Yi, Xiong Wu, and Xiong Tai go to the trading day, while the others stayed here to look after the house. Cheng Mo also left Cheng Lingqu to Xiong Bai to take care of. The little guy also knew that the two parents were going out to do something very important, so he didn't make too much noise.
