Chapter 432 Sweet Bamboo
Brown sugar melts in your mouth, its sweet taste instantly blooming on your tongue and spreading throughout your entire oral cavity, as if countless tiny flowers are gently dancing on your tongue, bringing an unprecedented and wonderful experience.
The tribe rarely gets to eat such sweet food. Usually, the fruits they pick from the forest are not fully ripe and are still green.
Those naturally ripened, sweet fruits often become delicacies for birds, beasts, insects, and ants before the tribe members even have a chance to pick them.
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Sirius said proudly, "Isn't it delicious? This is something our witch made herself, called brown sugar! This sugar is not only delicious, but it also keeps you full!"
"I know that everyone is having a hard time. In winter, there isn't enough food, and some people hide in caves all day to save energy, afraid to move! Others only get to eat once every few days. Everyone is just barely surviving on an empty stomach!"
Someone handed him a steaming bamboo tube, which the Sirius took and continued, "But now, all you need is this little bit of brown sugar, add some hot water and stir..."
He put the brown sugar in a bamboo tube, stirred it with a bamboo stick inside, and showed it to everyone: "Look! Such a small piece of brown sugar can make such a big cup of brown sugar water! When there isn't enough food, you can eat less at each meal, and if you're hungry, just have some brown sugar water to drink!"
Seeing that everyone's interest had been piqued, the Sirius man seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "The raw materials for this batch of brown sugar were transported from our friends in the Jiang tribe, from the Xiang tribe. The quantity is limited, so it's first come, first served! If you want to buy more later, you'll have to wait until next year!"
Not to mention that sugar can be used to make many things, what the Elephant Tribe brought from so far away must not be ordinary sugarcane.
The Xiang tribe calls sugarcane "sweet bamboo." Besides producing sugar, this sweet bamboo also creates a strong feeling of fullness after eating it.
The giant tusked elephants in their tribe are enormous and have an enormous appetite. They are fed by these highly satiating sweet stalks.
For these tribesmen, everything else is meaningless; nothing is more important than food. Only by surviving can they have the energy to think about anything else.
Even if their own tribe doesn't need it, they can make a fortune by reselling it to other small tribes. There's no shortage of buyers for this kind of thing, no matter where you go.
In an instant, everyone rushed forward, afraid that their tribe would miss out.
Jiang Ning stood by the Nu River, personally seeing off Hei Chi and the others.
Besides the people from the Elephant Tribe, Mao also led the people from the Jiang Tribe on another journey. This time, they were going to go south with the Elephant Tribe.
The Nu River rushes on like a wild horse, its surging waves constantly crashing against the riverbanks, never tiring, producing deafening roars.
Faced with this magnificent and awe-inspiring natural landscape, humanity appears so small and fragile.
Black Tooth turned around and shouted loudly to Jiang Ning amidst the towering waves, "Jiang Wu, go back! Don't see us off anymore! We're leaving now! When I return to the tribe, I will definitely report to Wu the truth about your visit."
"Thank you very much. The Elephant Tribe has helped me a great deal. My Jiang tribe will remember this kindness. If the Elephant Tribe needs anything, my Jiang tribe will do everything in its power to help," Jiang Wu said solemnly.
Black Teeth laughed heartily: "What's so special about that? Didn't you teach us a lot of things? And this brown sugar, we've been eating sweet bamboo for so many years, we never thought it could be used in this way! Now we don't have to worry about it rotting on the way!"
Jiang Ning shook her head: "One thing at a time. If it weren't for the sweet bamboo you brought, I wouldn't have been able to make brown sugar. Have you remembered how to make white sugar and rock sugar?"
Black Tooth was much more talkative than Qi Ze. He smiled and said, "I'll remember! It doesn't matter if you can't remember. Next year, we'll send some people to the school, and then we'll write down all these skills. Jiang Wu, you're so generous! You're willing to teach us all these things!"
"But they are all minor matters." This was not a lie; what Jiang Ning taught the Elephant Tribe and the Fish Tribe were all things that were not very important.
Sugar can be used in many other ways, and that's the secret recipe of the ginger department.
Kindness is kindness, and business is business. Jiang Ning doesn't plan to let others have a share of things like waterwheels, glass, paper, and ceramics for the time being, but giving them a batch as gifts is no problem.
This brown sugar was only taught as an exception because the sweet bamboo was sent by the Elephant Tribe; even the Fish Tribe didn't get any.
For these large tribes, these things are merely icing on the cake, slightly improving their quality of life.
But for the Jiang tribe, which had not yet grown up, these things were the key to their survival and the fundamental basis for their establishment and growth on this vast land.
This land is so vast that there are countless trading areas scattered throughout it. As long as the space is large and the transportation is convenient, if one trading area is destroyed, a new trading area can be rebuilt immediately in a new place.
The trading area of the Jiang tribe is different; it is highly irreplaceable, with many goods available only to the Jiang tribe. This is the fundamental reason why it can attract many tribes to travel from the mountains and seas to the Nu River.
If Jiang loses these characteristics, the once-thriving trading area will immediately decline.
After seeing them off, Lancao stood next to Hongfeng. Usually calm and collected, she was now beaming with barely concealed excitement as she listened intently to what Hongfeng was saying.
Red Moon is no longer in the tribe, and Mao has also left with his people. Time has quietly slipped by unnoticed, and now it's Bluegrass's generation's turn to take the stage.
Jiang Ning smiled softly, and for a moment she felt as if she had aged.
In a good mood, she refused the Xuan Shui Yan Turtle's offer to give her a ride and slowly walked back to the tribe. Right by the Lotus Lake, she saw Cliff Vine and White Cliff fighting each other.
Although the Cliff Vine was not as strong as Baiya, it relied on its numerous and flexible vines to strike swiftly like a snake at times and intertwine and entwine like a spider web at others, making it difficult for Baiya, who was hesitant to use his full strength, to win easily.
Baiya is arguably the strongest ferocious beast in the Jiang tribe right now. The Cliff Vine was busy rushing back with Jiang Ning and hadn't had a chance to unleash its fury until now, when the fight finally broke out.
No one dared to intervene, nor did anyone have the power to do so. Bai Ya opened his blood-red maw and let out a deafening roar, the sound waves spreading outwards like rolling thunder.
Not to be outdone, the cliff vines swayed their thick, powerful tendrils, which twisted wildly in the air like giant green pythons.
