I thrived in the primitive tribe

"Lu Yao, how do you know the Oak Dragon Tribe will agree to this cooperation?" Loya asked, his face full of doubt.

The others traveling with her also looked at her with confusion.

"This is it."

"Stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us directly," one of the companions said, sounding slightly impatient and helpless.

"Think about it, in the past, the tribe had to travel a long time to obtain salt and exchange it for a lot of the tribe's resources. Now there is a way to make it ourselves. What would you choose?"

"But making it yourself also comes at a price."

"You should carefully consider the pros and cons of these two options."

"Oh, I see. According to the overall calculation, it is quite worthwhile for the tribe to obtain a large amount of salt by paying half of the labor output, without having to risk their lives to cross the forest."

"Oh right, there's also the question Xiang Tian asked at the end. Think about it carefully."

"Oh, I see. They're probably planning to trade the salt they produce with other tribes."

"Yes, so wouldn't they gain more this way?"

"If there are so many benefits, why don't we do it ourselves?" one of the tribesmen asked, even more puzzled.

"Firstly, although this place is not far from our tribe, it is not as close as the Oak Dragon Tribe. Every time we come here to make salt, we need to spend time investigating the surrounding environment and be vigilant at all times during the production process."

Secondly, our salt-making method is actually very easy. If we come more often, they will find out sooner or later. Don't say that we are always on guard against them; there will always be times when we are careless.

Third, since there is free labor available, why don't we use it?

Seeing the others' expressions of sudden realization, Lu Yao smiled. However, she didn't expect that her actions today would directly influence the future direction of the Dragon Alliance tribe.

"So, by all accounts, we've still made a profit."

"It's a win-win situation, so there's no question of one person taking advantage of the other."

"How so?"

"You see, if we don't tell them how to make salt, won't their tribes never know?"

Similarly, if we don't say anything, wouldn't we also need to expend a lot of effort to exchange for or manufacture salt?

Now, haven't we both gotten what we wanted? This is what's called a win-win situation.

"So this is ah."

"Yes."

Lu Yao and her companions chatted as they traveled, enjoying themselves immensely. The Dragon Alliance tribe, on the other hand, was far from having such a leisurely time.

The fact that the tribesmen brought back the salt they had made was like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar and shock among the tribesmen.

"I never knew table salt could be so white!"

"So salt doesn't have to taste bitter."

"So salt can be extracted from water."

……

The day the group brought out the salt, the tribe began to use it. The first thing they used for dinner that day was the salt they had brought back.

The dishes cooked with this salt no longer had a slightly bitter taste, which made everyone praise the dinner that day. All the food was devoured, leaving almost nothing behind.

As a result, everyone in the tribe ate until their bellies were round and full.

After personally verifying and learning that this salt was very easy to obtain, the tribe began to increase their hunting efforts, trying to obtain as much prey as possible and store it in salt so that they would not go hungry during the cold season.

At this time, the Dragon Alliance tribe was bustling with activity.

The tribespeople are working hard to complete the defensive works as soon as possible.

The hunting teams also set out early and returned late every day, hoping to catch more prey.

The patrol teams are now more cautious in their patrols, maintaining the safety of the tribe.

The remaining tribesmen were either curing meat, making pottery, or being sent to look after the Hum Hum Beast and the potatoes.

Lu Yao and the others returned at this moment. Looking at the drastically changed tribe, they wondered if they had gotten the time wrong. They hadn't been gone for a few days, but for several years.

"You're back? What are you standing here for? Hurry up and get into the tribe!"

A tribesman who was about to leave the tribe saw them and his face lit up with joy.

What are you going out to do?

"Oh dear, I almost forgot. I have to go cut grass for the Hum Hum Beast. I have to go now, or I'll be too late. I'm off now, you guys hurry inside." The man said as he quickly walked out of the tribe.

“Let’s go in.” Loya led the way into the tribe.

People they encountered along the way greeted them with smiles, then hurried off to do their own thing. The group of onlookers were completely baffled.

Why is everyone so busy at this time?

"Yeah, at this time of year before, weren't people usually chatting in the tribe or gathering resources?"

"Really? What's going on?"

“You’ve all worked hard these past few days, go back to the cave and get some rest,” Loya interrupted their discussion.

"Then we'll be going now. Let us know if anything happens."

"Ok."

"By the way, Loya, do you know where the things the wolf king sent that we brought back earlier are?" Lu Yao suddenly remembered something.

"They should be in the Great Shaman's cave. When they left, I told them to give all the things the Wolf King sent to the Great Shaman, saying that they were his and that he could deal with them when he returned."

"I see. Then I'll head back to the cave!"

"Wait a moment, I'll go with you. If it's not over there, we'll look for it together."

"it is good."

The two walked side by side toward the Great Shaman's cave.

At this moment, the great shaman was processing medicinal herbs by the cave.

As time goes by, the rainy season is approaching, and we need to take precautions to prevent people from being without medicinal herbs in the future.

The high shaman organized several outings and asked everyone to help gather medicinal herbs. Previously, the tribespeople were not getting enough to eat, so the high shaman gathered the herbs himself. Now, food in the tribe is no longer as scarce as before.

While it may not fill everyone's stomachs, at least they won't go hungry.

Therefore, gathering herbs became the primary task.

With everyone helping to gather herbs, the shaman basically spent his days either treating the tribespeople or processing medicinal materials.

Fresh medicinal herbs are difficult to store, so they must be processed as soon as possible to preserve them for longer.

Just as the great shaman turned to go back to the cave to get some more herbs, he saw two people walking towards him.

"They're such a perfect match, but I wonder if they have feelings for each other," the great shaman thought to himself.

"You guys finally decided to come back? Why did it take you so long this time?"

"How could we bear to come back? This is our home." Lu Yao said with a helpless expression.

"I thought you two were having a great time outside and didn't want to come back."

"How could that be? Great Shaman, please don't mock me."

How was your trip?

"It feels pretty good. We stumbled upon this opportunity by accident, but it has been very fruitful."

"tell me the story"

The group walked into the cave while talking.

"We went to explore whether salt could be produced from a salt lake, right? You've probably seen the salt we brought back. What did you think?"

"Is that salt really made from water from a salt lake?"

"What, didn't they tell you?"

"I've said it before, but I just can't quite believe it. I never thought that salt could be extracted from lake water."

"Now I've seen it for myself."

"Yes, I'd like to see the refining process in person when I have the chance."

"Sure, but..."
