Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

"Besides this pottery jar, what are these black things of yours? What are they for? I've never seen them before."

"That's right. This thing of yours is placed together with the pottery jar today. It must have its own special features!"

"Stop beating around the bush and hiding it. We're all worried sick."

Sang Tian was so happy that her heart blossomed!

This is the effect we want! It makes others feel itchy!

……

"These black woods are called charcoal! They're used to burn fires and keep warm during the snowy season!"

"For heating? Ha! I thought it was something else! We use firewood for burning, isn't it the same?"

"That's out of the question! The tribe is collecting firewood! It's probably going to pile up like a mountain! Why would we even bother exchanging this food for it? You're just a complete grudge!"

"Look at you! Which of Tianlang's things is less useful? Look at that black mass, how can it be the same as our ordinary firewood!"

"That's true! It must be from a very important source! After all, it can be sold together with the pottery jar. You can imagine its value!"

"Oh, I've discovered that you Tianlangs really love to keep people on suspense! Come on, my living father! What's the purpose?"

……

Sang Tian said calmly: "The first advantage of charcoal is that it burns without smoke!"

As soon as Sang Tian finished speaking, everyone around her exploded.

Everyone was talking about it.

"What! No smoke? That's impossible! How can wood burn without smoke?"

"Oh my god! There's no smoke! It's so much easier to keep warm during the snowy season! Usually, the smoke makes us cry and runny!"

"If there's no cigarettes, I really need to change some! I injured my lungs a few years ago, and it's so uncomfortable when I choke on cigarettes! I can't breathe!"

Sang Tian asked Ye to get a piece of charcoal, light it, and demonstrate it to them.

The black charcoal turned a little red the moment it came into contact with the flame, and the color spread rapidly.

Soon, a large area turned red.

It's really smoke-free!

"It's amazing! There's really no smoke. It's easy to light, and it burns so fast!"

……

Sang Tian continued.

“Smokeless and flammable. That’s just one of its advantages!

The second thing is that the combustion temperature is high. It's not just a little bit high!

Charcoal burns three to five times hotter than regular firewood!"

Everyone present couldn't believe it!

"Three to five times hotter? Holy crap, is that what I understand?"

"Wouldn't that mean it would be a lot warmer during the snow season?"

"No, you really believe it? Three to five times, how is that even possible? If that's the case, then the snow season must be incredibly warm!"

"I don't believe it either. This is too exaggerated!"

……

Lei said: "If you don't believe it, you might as well put your hand on it and try it."

The two males who had just said they didn't believe it stepped forward and placed their hands on the charcoal that had just been lit.

In an instant, the scorching flames were like the sharp claws of a demon, tearing his skin fiercely.

The two men immediately pulled their arms back.

The skin felt as if it was pierced by countless needles, especially at that moment, it was most obvious!

"Wow! It's really hot! It's much hotter than a wood fire!"

"Puff, puff, is there any cold water? It hurts so much!"

Xu brought the basin of water in front of him and motioned for the two of them to dip in it.

"It seems to be true! The temperature is really high!"

"Oh my God! I can't believe it. How come the people of Tianlang live so well? They're so far ahead of us!"

……

Do you think this is the end?

Those two just now were just appetizers!

I haven’t told you what you really can’t refuse yet!

……

Sang Tian ignored it and continued speaking calmly.

“The main thing is that charcoal burns for a long time!

A piece of firewood the length of an adult male's forearm can only burn for seven or eight minutes at most. But a piece of charcoal of the same size can burn for at least an hour!"

……

As Sang Tian uttered these words word by word.

Everyone's eyes suddenly widened, as if they had seen some ancient monster, something unbelievable. They were stunned for a moment and couldn't move.

Everyone's expression was extremely solemn, and they were stunned as if they had been struck by lightning and could not move!

From time to time they glanced at the burning charcoal.

After these few minutes, the charcoal had already turned red all over. If it were firewood, it would have turned into ash long ago.

But this thing doesn't look like it's burned at all, there is only a thin layer of ash on it.

It looks like it can really burn for a long time!

After a long time, someone slowly spoke.

"You...are you telling the truth?"

"More than an hour? Don't tell us you're lying to me, are you?"

"How much firewood will be left after this snow season?"

"One stick burned for an hour! This is too outrageous!"

"Oh my goodness! This is unbelievable! It can burn for more than an hour!"

"You Tianlangs are so awesome! How come your life is so much better than our other tribes? This is totally out of the question!"

"This is the difference... just accept your fate!"

……

"No! This charcoal is really good, I have to change it!

What’s the price?”

……

At this price, no one wants it to be too low.

But there is no way, the economic base determines the superstructure.

Their consumption level has already reached that level, it can’t be any higher!

Besides, the items in front, especially the pottery jars, were the most expensive! They had already exchanged a lot of them with gritted teeth.

Therefore, the price of charcoal can only be lowered and cannot be raised any higher!

……

"Seven pounds of meat for one pound of charcoal. Charcoal is light, so there are about ten pieces per pound. It's still a pretty good deal!"

Everyone really felt that it was not cheap, but compared with the high prices of the previous things, it was easy to accept.

……

"This price is still within my acceptable range..."

"It's expensive, but not outrageously so. Compared to the value of this thing, it's still worth it!"

"Indeed! I can accept it! Anyway, this charcoal is really good! It's worth the money! I'll trade it in!"

"I'll change too!"

"Exchange me for 100 kilograms of charcoal!"

"We want 500 kilograms!"

"Give our tribe a 200-pound one!"

……

Several females were busy loading charcoal.

The tribesmen behind him called it the meat they brought.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

……

Afterwards, many people who exchanged for pottery jars and charcoal left and told other tribes how great the things they had exchanged were!

Many people left because they complained that the clay pots were too expensive. Listening to their words, I felt a little uncomfortable and unwilling.

Besides, I heard that charcoal is a good thing.

He grunted and carried the meat to the Tianlang sales place!

There are also many people who didn't go at first, but now they can't help but be moved when listening to what they say.

Pottery pots and charcoal are really rare and valuable things!

It is a temptation they cannot resist!

Life would be much better with these two things!

They all swarmed towards Tianlang as if to join in the fun.

……

As a result, people came to Tianlang's morning transaction continuously, and tribes frequently came to trade for several hours.

I was very busy, but I looked at the mountain of meat I had exchanged for.

The smiles on everyone’s faces were about to reach their ears!
