Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

The morning light filtered through the thin branches, caressing Sang Tian's face gently. She opened her eyes slightly, feeling the warm and gentle light.

Sang Tian slowly sat up, stretched and stretched his body.

A busy day has begun again.

Today, Tianlang officially sells clay pots and charcoal.

In addition, we also need to exchange enough food and supplies for the snow season that Tianlang needs, the most important of which is salt.

Sang Tian got up with other tribesmen, packed up and prepared to set up the stall.

……

Lan cooked a pot of pumpkin, yam and taro paste, which was sweet, soft, mellow and sticky. Every bite of it warmed my stomach.

Everyone drank a big bowl of soup and then began to spread out the animal skins and place things.

Most of the other items had already been sold yesterday. The main products today were clay pots and charcoal.

He brought two thousand kilograms of charcoal alone, and Tianlang used about one hundred kilograms in a few days, so there was still a lot left.

As for pottery jars, there are 1000 of them.

It took dozens of people most of the day to move it out and set it up.

An hour later, all the tribes were ready.

The transaction officially begins.

……

Soon, many people gathered in front of Tianlang's stall.

Some of them came to exchange for basic necessities, either because they didn't have time to exchange them yesterday, or because they didn't have enough.

As for the rest, they all came to see the two things that Tianlang had not prepared to replace yesterday.

Whether it was out of curiosity or to join in the fun, these two things definitely piqued their curiosity.

……

A female pointed at the pottery jar and said:

"What are these things of yours for? They look round, but why do they have holes in them? Some are big, some are small."

"I've never seen it before. What's the use of it?"

"I saw the Tianlang people use these big mouthfuls to hold food. Is it used for carrying things?"

"To store things? That's great. Look at the biggest one, it's as high as my waist. It can hold a lot at a time."

Everyone was discussing the function of the pottery jar.

……

Sang Tian said nothing, but asked someone to fetch some water.

This time, I'm going to whet your appetite.

The others looked at Tianlang and scratched their heads anxiously.

I finally waited until it was displayed, but when I asked, he didn’t say anything!

It's like someone suddenly wants to tell you a secret, but when you are ready to listen to the gossip, the other person suddenly stops talking.

Those who hate it feel like their teeth are itching.

……

Mu brought a large bucket of clean water.

Place pottery jars of different sizes and shapes in front.

Then, pour the water into the pottery jars one by one.

People standing in front of this row of pottery jars can't help but feel curious.

What on earth are these people from Tianlang doing?

When asked what their purpose was, they didn't tell me. What was the point of pouring water in?

……

After the fruit was poured out, he picked up the pottery jars one by one and tilted them to show them the inside.

No one reacted at first.

After watching for a while, I gradually understood.

"Why doesn't this thing leak? What is it made of?"

"Use soil."

"Stop lying to me! How could it be made of clay? And how come the water is clear?"

"That's right, otherwise how could it not leak? Wouldn't the soil melt?"

Everyone agreed that it was impossible.

Lei shouted, "It's made of clay. Tianlang wouldn't resort to deception to gain profit. That would only damage his reputation."

As for why water becomes clear and why soil doesn't dissolve, we have no comment! In short, the purpose of a clay pot is to hold things.

You can use it to store water, marinate meat, or even use it as a floating basin to hold vegetables. It all works!

After all, we at Tianlang make a variety of them, in different sizes and with different main functions. You can choose whatever you like.

To store water, you naturally need to use a large tank that can store water for several days at a time.

When serving food, use basins or bowls.

Use jars for other things.

We have everything you need, and it’s a dazzling array. Feel free to choose! "

……

Everyone present was in an uproar.

What Lei said seems to make sense.

Especially the part about using large vats to hold water.

Every day, I have to go to the river countless times just to drink, wash, etc.

Not to mention that the water we usually drink is made from leaves. Not only is it sprinkled a lot, but the amount is also small. It's just enough to quench thirst.

So most of them usually cook by the river. It's not so bad in other seasons.

It’s not that they like cooking by the river.

But there is no other choice!

Every time they came back from gathering or hunting, they had to run back to the cave to get food and then run to the river to barbecue.

But what about the snow season?

Braving the biting cold wind and freezing in the river wind again and again?

If we have this big tank, we can store water for several days at a time.

Move to the cave. Eat your own food in your own nest.

……

Moreover, I have also looked up Tianlang's cooking methods over the past couple of days. I plan to do this for a long time in the future.

Stone bowls are indeed not easy to use!

Not only are the shapes irregular, but the concave parts are all similar.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that some stones will fall into pieces if you knock them or knock them down with bamboo chopsticks.

If it's large stone chips, it's okay. You can feel it, but it just hurts your teeth and affects the taste. But if it's fine stone sand, you can't even feel it in the rice! It all goes into your stomach!

It has a great impact on health.

……

However, some people have raised questions.

"Isn't this the same bucket you Tianlang made from knotty wood? What's the difference?"

"That's right! I think he's deliberately trying to steal our food!"

"Look at what you're saying. How did Ren Tianlang deceive you? He didn't even put buckets on the stall! He was just using them himself!"

……

"The difference is, a bucket leaks, but a clay pot doesn't! A bucket of water will definitely leak out in half a day."

This is normal.

After all, this is ancient times. Without the right tools to make it tight, leaks are normal. How can there be so much perfection?

"Secondly, it's better and more convenient to use than knotty wooden or stone bowls when eating."

……

"These two points are indeed true. I saw it for real. Tianlang's bucket does leak. It's just a small drip."

"This bucket is still not as good as the clay pot. It leaks all the time, and you have to fetch more water! It's better to use the clay pot, which can be used for several days at a time!"

"That's right, it's more convenient to use a clay pot."

"I like these pots and bowls. I've been studying the way Tianlang cooks food these days! I can't wait to practice it myself! These are perfect for the tribe to eat the dishes I cook."

"These bowls and basins are so convenient and easy to use!"

"How do I exchange this pottery jar? What's the price?"

“All the clay pots are buy one get one free.

A large vat holds 50 jin of meat, a large basin and a large bucket hold 30 jin of meat, a medium-sized jar holds 20 jin of meat, and a bowl holds 5 jin of meat."

Lan had just finished speaking.

The others were all in an uproar.

"What! Are you Tianlangs stealing meat? It's so expensive! 50 kilograms of meat! Do you know what that means?"

"I won't exchange it! Do you really think this is a rare treasure? You have to exchange 50 kilograms of meat for one! Do you think we are being taken advantage of?"

"How can you, Tianlang, be so dishonest when exchanging things? This price is even higher than salt! And it's not even a necessity! Let's go, let's stop exchanging!"

"I won't exchange it either! Why are you openly saying it's a robbery? No matter how good the item is, you can't exchange it like this!"

"I want to see who will ask you Tianlang to trade for a pottery jar in the future!"

……

Most people left in anger.

No one stopped Tianlang or explained.

Good wine needs no bush; good things need no fear of being rejected.

……

The rest of them are all rivers that are some distance away from the cave, and it is really troublesome to collect water.

The effect of this big vat was really tempting to them.

So they are still waiting and watching.

“What you have left behind is naturally of some interest.

This price is indeed expensive!

But as we said at the beginning, the clay pot is buy one get one free! In other words, if you exchange one, the price will be halved, and the large pot will only cost 25 kilograms of meat.

Besides, it takes us at Tianlang eight or nine days, and at most ten days, to make a batch of pottery jars! Half a month has already passed.

It's worth the price!

Besides, it is drop-resistant, so as long as it doesn’t break, you can use it for a lifetime.”

Clay pots and charcoal can't be cheap anyway.

Guang Tianlang’s labor costs are more than that!

What’s more, their value cannot be cheap!

But Sang Tian also thought that their spending power was really limited.

So we set the price higher and then offer a buy-one-get-one-free deal to boost their appeal. They might think it's too expensive at first, but once they realize the price is halved, they'll be more receptive.

To be honest, these 25 kilograms of meat at half price are still very expensive for them!

But it is still easy to accept one weighing 50 kilograms!

……

"Oh, it's even expensive... But I really want to change it. It will be much more convenient!"

"Oh, even though it's expensive, it can be used forever. If I take good care of it, I can pass it on to my next generation and the next generation! Thinking of this makes me feel better!"

"The river in our tribe is quite far away. Even if it's so expensive, we have to exchange it! The things are really good!"

"Our tribe also gritted their teeth and bought five of them. Each one has 25 kilograms of meat. It's expensive, but we can still afford it!"

"It actually takes ten days to make a jar... and the product is really good. The price is expensive, but it's reasonable!"

"Our tribe will exchange ten!"

"Give us seven."

"We want 15!"

"Two hundred bowls!"

"I want 50 pots!"

……

"Okay, I'll install it for everyone!"
