MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 116
Although the cooperation with Chu Qiu has not been negotiated yet, in order to show the friendship of the landlord, Sang Yu still ordered Gao to entertain the two of them.
If there is no special order, these guests will eat standard meals when they come.
That is the staple food + soup and stir-fry, one meat and one vegetable, see what kind of soup is arranged in the canteen today, the vegetarian soup is stir-fried with meat dishes, and the broth is served with vegetarian dishes.
You can't let other big tribes look down upon you. But it will not highlight the wealth of the tribe too much, so as not to arouse the jealousy of others.
Fortunately, since the research and development of soy sauce and other seasonings, no matter what is fried. For this group of primitive aborigines, it is an irresistible delicacy.
After all, for these people, being able to eat salt is already the happiest thing in the world, let alone other condiments.
But for Yao, no matter how delicious the food is, it cannot compare to that woman.
From last time to this time, he could clearly feel the coldness of women towards him.
It's not a sarcastic remark.
Rather, when Sang Yu was talking, she was also laughing, but she couldn't feel the joy that she showed because of herself, but a kind of alienation that she rejected thousands of miles away.
This frustrates him.
The title of leader of the Fire Tribe has given him no disadvantages in the process of flirting with girls in the past, and therefore made him extremely confident in his own charm.
But here at Sangyu, he felt that none of these things seemed to work.
Seeing that he was about to go back, he felt that he could not miss this opportunity, otherwise this trip would be in vain again.
So when he was about to go to dinner, he went straight forward and sent an invitation signal to Sang Yu.
Sang Yu smiled and said: "I just have some urgent matters to deal with, so I won't disturb your dinner for the time being."
Said Gao said to the side: "These two are distinguished guests who came from afar, you have to treat them well for me, and the tribe's fine wine is also indispensable. If the distinguished guests like it, send them some to take back."
Business, is to start with these small gifts.
A man is good at wine, and if he has good things, he can't help but show them off, which can help him advertise for free.
At that time, there will be one more thing that the Phoenix Tribe can trade.
Commodity diversification is also a way.
It's a pity that Yao and Chu Qiu don't know what good wine is. But after all, they are all noble sons of the big tribe, and they don't eat and drink less good things on weekdays, and they don't have any expectations for the good things Sang Yu proposed.
It's just that Sang Yu can't be with him, Yao feels very disappointed.
But at the same time, I also felt humiliated.
With their honorable status, when they went to other small tribes, which one would not sweep the couch to greet them.
But the one in front of him is good, it doesn't give him any face.
It was the first time that Yaolai didn't even meet her face to face, and this time he pushed back and forth like this, feeling quite upset.
Chu Qiu on the side was calm now, seeing these things in the Phoenix Tribe today opened his eyes.
Especially this ball game, the mechanism and rules alone are more brilliant and more fun than any other sport he has seen.
Other tribes are still hovering on the line of survival, they have already engaged in entertainment activities.
This kind of sport is not only suitable for small entertainment within the tribe, but also suitable for competitions between large and small tribes.
With this movement alone as the cornerstone, the Phoenix Tribe was able to open up relationships with other tribes or groups very smoothly, which is not unreasonable.
And creating such a movement is definitely not ordinary people.
Chu Qiu has completely lost the contempt he had when he first came here.
Just looking at Yao's displeased look, he couldn't help shaking his head.
Yao failed to find a breakthrough from Sang Yu, so he could only ask Gao some personal questions about her along the way, trying to find a place to talk.
It's a pity that Gao has followed Sang Yu for so many years, knowing her temper, he dare not interfere in her private affairs. But he is no longer the foolish person he was back then, he just smiled and said, "How can we subordinates understand what the leader thinks?"
"She doesn't look too young. Hasn't she ever had a man?"
Gao shook his head.
Hearing this answer, Yao felt a kind of secret joy in his heart, but he was still a little surprised.
"It shouldn't be. In our tribe, how can there be people who don't look for men after more than 20 snow seasons? Is there something wrong with her?"
Gao Yi was not happy when he heard it.
"Young Master Yao, our leader said that the life of the tribe is getting better now, and everyone can live longer. After 18 snow seasons, you can get married and have children. It can't be done one day earlier. Everyone's life is so long, so there is no need to go so early. To find a pair."
Yao couldn't help but said, "When you're in your twenties, you're already an old woman.
Gao's wife, Liu, was a few years older than him. Now that Yao said this, he unintentionally offended him.
But he didn't show it, and just said plainly: "Mature women have their advantages, you don't understand."
"I understand, I understand, otherwise you would say why I came all the way from the Fire Tribe."
"But according to Mr. Yao's situation, the first condition is not suitable."
"Ah? Why do you say that?"
"Our tribe stipulates monogamy. If I'm not wrong, Mr. Yao must already have a wife, and if nothing else happens, he already has a child. It is impossible for our leader to look at a married man."
"It... What does it matter? Those women are just bed companions... It's not counted, which man doesn't have a few wives..."
"At my age, if I don't find a match, I will be treated as a joke..."
After speaking, I also feel a little guilty.
That woman who is like the breeze and the moon. Would you be willing to share a husband with another woman?
Gao asked, and couldn't help feeling in his heart.
In the past, he also felt that polygamy was normal.
But now, when he thinks that his leader is going to find such a man, he really can't accept it.
"Forget it, you better stop thinking about our leader, we Phoenix Tribe people probably don't want her to be with men from other tribes."
"Why?" Yao was even more puzzled.
Chu Qiu on the side spoke up, "Don't you understand? People in different tribes have different ideas. Your ideas are already contrary to the "monogamy" system of the Phoenix tribe. People won't like you . "
"This—then I'll drive the other women away!" Yao thought for a while, and felt that his women were nothing compared to Sang Yu, so it didn't hurt to drive them away.
Gao Ting shook his head straight, "You are irresponsible, now you can treat those women who follow you like this, in the future, if our leader gets old and frail, will you also treat our leader like this, Mr. Yao , you better not talk about these things related to the leader, or I will be very angry."
Looking at Gao's serious face, Yao pursed his lips even though he felt unhappy.
Chu Qiu on the side was amazed at Gao's remarks.
"Is it true that all the men in your Phoenix tribe think like you?"
"Yes, we pursue equality between men and women, and we hope that you two will come to the Phoenix tribe in the future, and we still have to respect the tribe's thinking and culture."
Chu Qiu nodded and said, "Of course."
When the two of them were seated in the dining room, two sets of standard meals were brought over from the kitchen.
Chu Qiu saw that a vegetable soup and a stack of stir-fried vegetables cost only three to five yuan of meat, which was pitifully small.
But the staple food is millet porridge and two large pancakes, which look pretty good.
After all, Yao has been here once, and he knows that these delicacies cannot be judged by appearances, so he picks up a spoon and starts cooking impatiently.
Except for the Phoenix Tribe, none of these surrounding tribes know how to use chopsticks.
So they are also equipped with spoons and chopsticks.
Chu Qiu felt that it was a novelty, so he tried the chopsticks, and felt that they were quite convenient to use, so he threw away the spoon and used the chopsticks.
Today's stir-fry is fried bacon with bamboo shoots, and there is also a wild vegetable soup.
The sliced meat, which I thought was ordinary at first, is so fragrant, and it is unexpectedly addictive to put it in your mouth.
Hurry up and take a big bite of the thick and thick pancakes, it's not too delicious.
The eyes of the two couldn't help revealing expressions of amazement.
Gao brought Yuan's fine wine again and filled it up for the two of them.
The first sip of wine is spicy and bitter, but it lasts long, and the second sip starts to top.
On the third bite, I fell in love with it.
Seeing the two drinking one glass after another, Gao laughed and said: "This wine is strong, you two will have to ride on the road later, don't drink too much."
The host didn't pour wine, and the two of them had no choice but to eat with regret.
Gao Dao: "The leader just ordered that if the two distinguished guests like it, you can send two bottles of fine wine. If you need it in the future, you can exchange it."
"Your leader really knows how to trade. This thing is too good. I like it. How do you exchange it?"
"Seeds, cattle, sheep, horses and pigs can all be exchanged. The Phoenix Tribe has salt and pottery. These two have already known that this wine bottle is made by our tribe. They can be exchanged." Gao proudly said.
Chu Qiu has also been to several surrounding tribes, but this is the first time he has seen a tribe like this.
There are many rare treasures and unique ideas.
The tribe is rushing upwards with astonishing speed.
Many tribes realized this, and their first thought was to suppress them.
But Chu Qiu didn't dare to have such thoughts anymore.
The things of eating, drinking and having fun are already so novel and so fascinating. With that woman's mind, how could she not take precautions in terms of safety.
Although I have been in the tribe for so long, I have not seen any soldiers assembled. But thinking of Tong Town, the first outpost when we came here, people are already making preparations in terms of geographical location.
In places where others can't see, I don't know what is frightening.
Not to mention they have weapons.
It is the weapon that Chu Qiu never forgets.
He knew that after he went back, he had to find a way and take action to make Sang Yu trust him and be willing to exchange weapons with him. Otherwise, once Chu Li takes over, his life in the God Tribe will be difficult.
Ya didn't go to dinner with them, but sat on the grass beside the court, chatting with Sang Yu.
What I said was exactly what I wanted to cooperate with the fourth son of the God Tribe today.
Both of them are now at this point, so naturally there is nothing to hide, Sang Yu directly told Ya about each other's intentions.
"It turns out that the God Tribe has always suspected that what we have is bronze, and they don't even know what iron is."
Sang Yu and Ya popularized the difference between iron and bronze ware. She naturally understands what is going on with the things she is talking about now.
"Even so, we can't be careless." Ya said.
"Well, that's why I'm going to do what I can. I'll say in the future that what we can smelt is also bronze. Even if other alliance tribes want to ask for it, they will still be given bronze, not iron. Iron can only be used by us."
"That's good, but we still have to control the amount of exchange."
"I know, it's better to make the conditions a little harsher as we agreed to exchange iron before."
Ya breathed a sigh of relief, and when she thought the topic was over, she heard Sang Yu say, "But we don't have copper mines, and I'm not sure if you have such ores over there."
Only then did she realize her negligence, "How do you recognize this kind of ore?"
"I'll find someone to paint copper grass flowers later, and you can take the portrait after you draw it, so that you can compare it and find it later."
Sang Yu described the general appearance of the copper grass flower.
"Okay, I see."
"At that time, Yu will also go out to look for it."
"You just send her to this kind of tiring work."
"I'm not willing, but someone has to do it, and she is willing."
"Well, anyway, if I have a partner, I won't let her go out and suffer."
"Then you are willing to let your daughter suffer." Sang Yu said, looking at Shao Rong who was flapping butterflies beside him.
"I'm training her, and is she suffering? She is obviously enjoying the blessing. But I see that she still trusts you. You have done everything I can't do. You are very patient and very kind." Love, I am also relieved to keep her here."
"Only you will say..." Sang Yu said, "I agreed to drive the pigs over there today, to clean up the dust for the brothers and sisters of the rock tribe. If you don't go, then we will send them over when you leave tomorrow. Then I will send them over together." Send a hundred people over there to work with your people and try to repair the road as soon as possible."
Ya nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
After Sang Yu and her finalized the matter, they went to the school to find the student who could paint. Because Yu was going to travel again, he went to the medical clinic to find incense.
It was rare for Ya to see her children so lively. So the mother and daughter returned to the court, playing with the ball.
"You did a great job today." Ya, who has always been demanding, was finally willing to give her affirmation.
Shao Rong blushed with a smile, and was also very happy.
"It was Chief Sang who taught me."
"But my mother taught you to do this before, why didn't you follow what I said."
"..." Shao Rong frowned slightly, and said: "But my mother asked me to do it, but she didn't tell me how to do it. I'm afraid I can't do it well."
"How detailed does she teach?"
Shao Rong stumbled and repeated the trick that Sang Yu taught her to breathe and raise Qi.
After listening to Ya, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She did ignore this question a little before.
For example, when it comes to shouting, she might say to her daughter: shout loudly, shout hard, if you can’t shout out, then it’s not hard enough.
But Sang Yun is a real teaching method.
The child is still young, and she blindly asks for the result. She doesn't know how to achieve the result. Because you know you can't do it, or you're afraid of being reprimanded if you can't do it, can you not be trembling?
In the end, my method is still wrong.
At the same time, Ya also realized that besides this, her knowledge reserve was not enough, and she was not knowledgeable enough. It was the example just now, and she had no way to explain the vocalization to the child at all. But Sang Yu knows it, the child is willing to learn from her, and learns well.
So keeping Shao Rong here is the best choice.
"Chief Sang knows a lot of things. If you follow her well, you will become better than Grandma in the future."
The mother's softening today made Shao Rong very reluctant to leave her.
"But I don't want my mother to leave."
"Auntie comes to see you once a month, and will come to pick you up when the holidays are over, okay?"
Talking about explaining the time concept of years and months to children. But who knows that people have already told her one step ahead.
Ya was a little surprised, "Couldn't it be Chief Sang who taught you again, you just met for a while."
"That's what she taught."
Ya was completely defeated, and said helplessly: "It seems that I can only lead you with fists and kicks. Come on, continue to play football. Aunt is here to guard the goal. You can just kick in."
Shao Rong no longer felt that his mother was strict today, and he let go to play.
At this moment, a slender shadow approached from far away.
Shao Rong saw her when he was running to pick up the ball, and said to his mother, "Auntie, it's Aunt Mei."
"Scream louder so she can hear."
As soon as the little girl heard it, without saying a word, she directly showed the demeanor of helping cheer on the side of the court, and shouted at Mei from a distance: "Aunt Mei—"
Mei heard it, stopped and looked towards them, then quickened her pace.
Seeing Shao Rong, he immediately reached out and rubbed her little head.
"I didn't expect you to be so small, but you can shout so far, I can hear you from a distance."
As far as the sound is concerned, it was praised by several people, which made the little girl very proud.
"Why are you here now? It's lunch time. Is there enough time to eat later? Do you still have to work in the afternoon?"
"It's okay, you don't have to go to work in the afternoon."
"Ah, you don't need to go? Are you asking for leave?" Ya knew that the Phoenix Tribe had things like asking for leave and taking time off, and she was planning to introduce these systems into Rock.
"I didn't ask for leave. In fact, there were activities in the afternoon. Last year's tribal football game, it snowed at the end. Before the awards ceremony, the leader arranged to do it this afternoon, and awarded prizes to the winning players. Look, they are practicing Setting up an awards ceremony."
"Oh, it turns out that's the case, so I made the right choice to stay today, just in time to see how the awards ceremony works."
"It's fun, and everyone is looking forward to it anyway."
"Is there a lot of prizes?"
"That's not true, but everyone likes this atmosphere very much. Later, the leader will arrange for everyone to go on stage to receive awards. What an honor it is to go on stage to receive awards."
"Yeah, if I compete, I want to be on stage to accept the award."
"If you are not from our tribe, don't even think about it."
"You said that I am married to a member of your tribe, so I can be regarded as my partner's family member, so I can participate in the competition."
Hearing what she said, Mei didn't know if this person meant something, or if he was really just talking about the matter.
But since yesterday, she has already tasted that Ya is so interesting. So when Ya said this, she blushed a little.
"Did you randomly find someone to marry just because you wanted to participate in the competition..."
"Of course not..." Ya locked her eyes on Mei, "Am I that kind of person?"
"How do I know what kind of person you are, and I don't know you."
As Mei said, she helped Shao Rong straighten her short animal fur coat somewhat uncomfortably.
"You will know later." Ya said meaningfully.
Mei bit her lip, lowered her head slightly, and changed the subject after a while: "Shao Rong didn't bring much clothes, and it will be a hot day in a while. Then I won't wear animal skins, and I will cover my body It's easy to get prickly heat."
"I'll go and talk to Sangsang later, and ask her to get a few pieces for Shao Rong first, charge them to my account, and then offset them the next time I get the goods."
"It's no use for you to be so troublesome. I have a lot of salary and I can't eat it all. When it's the beginning of the month, I will exchange a few rice cloths and make some clothes for her."
When Ya heard this, her heart jumped wildly.
Mei's actions like this, no matter because of her flirtation with Shao Rong, or other reasons.
But she is releasing a signal that she is willing to get close to herself.
She was not polite at all, and said: "Okay, then I will trouble you, I don't know what you want. After all, the Phoenix Tribe is not short of anything, if you have other things you want, just tell me, I will come from outside Bring it to you."
Mei shook her head, "There's really nothing you want, so you don't have to worry about it."
"How about that, I want you to make some for me too."
Mei heard the words, her little face flushed instantly, and said: "You wear it yourself, just go to trade with the leader, what do you come to me for, there are a lot of ready-made clothes in the garment workshop, and the garment workers over there are all heart-warming." Handy, how can someone be as clumsy as me."
When Ya heard this, she couldn't help but want to grab her hand.
But Mei dodged it.
Ya said: "You are still the captain of the handicraft team. How can you be clumsy? Even if you really don't do well, I am willing to wear it on your body."
Mei found that the topic between the two was becoming more and more serious, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "The award ceremony is about to start over there, let's find a seat and sit down."
Ya quickly nodded, took her daughter's hand, and followed her to the practice field.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, did your handicraft team win?"
"No..." Mei shook her head and said with a smile, "I haven't played yet."
"Oh, what a pity, I still want to watch you play football on the field."
"But last year I was the referee." Mei said happily.
"That would be awesome." Ya gave her a thumbs up.
In the one-year football match, to everyone's surprise, the pottery team won the championship.
Especially the main force of the three Daxue sisters, who are so strong that even men are afraid.
Sang Yu asked Yan to simply set up a podium, and was going to let everyone take turns to receive the award.
Miao, like Mei, was the referee for last year's competition. But in this awards ceremony, Miao also accepted the task of master of ceremonies.
She is very smart, Sang Yu told her how to go about the award ceremony, how to say it, she knew what to do and what to say in each process.
Gao Zao arranged for several logistics personnel to carry the prizes prepared in advance to the side of the court.
Everyone gathered around the court, looking at the baskets of prizes, their eyes couldn't help getting hot, showing expressions of excitement and envy.
But there is no jealousy, because each team may have its own husband or wife. For example, Ke of the hunting team, his wife is in the pottery team, and he is very excited to win the first place in the pottery team.
When Miao announced the third runner-up—the construction team came to the stage to receive the award, Yan smiled and led more than a dozen members of the construction team to the stage.
It was the first time to stand in front of the big guys so formally, and everyone unconsciously showed a shy smile on their faces. Some people even walked onto the stage with the same hands and feet, causing the audience to roar with laughter.
The team members waved to everyone, and several "Miss Manners" including Hong and Bai came to the stage carrying the third runner-up's gift.
First, a tray of flowers.
The flowers were picked by Hong and the children of the tribe up the mountain. All kinds of wild flowers were gathered together and made into flower sticks.
Sang Yu directly asked Ya to come to the stage and be an award presenter with her.
Ya didn't expect to be treated like this, and felt extremely honored for a while.
Shao Rong looked at his mother on the stage, his face flushed with excitement.
Flowers were presented to each athlete one by one. The flowers lined the dark and simple faces. Everyone raised the flowers in their hands and smiled brightly at their families and all the people in the tribe.
It's a pity that there is no camera, otherwise this moment must be fixed.
"Don't worry, we have other prizes for the third place."
Soon, Mang carried a basket of rabbits onto the stage.
"The third place, each with a heavy rabbit."
The rabbits in this big basket each weigh more than seven or eight catties. They are heavy meat rabbits with more meat and less bones, and they are the favorite of the tribal people.
"Most of you have your own homes now, so take the rabbit back and deal with it yourself."
The team members cheered and shouted together: "The leader is mighty—the leader is mighty—"
Sang hurriedly asked Miao to send them away, and then presented an award to the second-place hunting team.
Same as the third place, all are flower sticks and prizes, the runner-up is each a heavy rooster, and the champion is each a set of sackcloth plus a chicken.
Standing on the stage, Ya looked at the group of people who were smiling so hard that they couldn't see their eyes, and she was filled with emotion.
The gap between myself and the Phoenix Tribe is really not a tiny bit, and now I can only catch up bravely.
"When you go back, next year your tribe will also hold a game by yourself. After the practice, everyone can go to the league center to play football."
"That's natural. I've been waiting for a long time. When the time comes, the prize will have to be bigger. Let the Canglin tribe bleed a little and get a few cows as prizes."
"One cow is considered a small number. I'm afraid that when the time comes, your skills will not be as good as others, and you won't be able to take down ten cows."
"Who do you underestimate? Just let the horse come over when the time comes."
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything in silence.
—
The next morning, Ya was finally willing to go back.
Although Shao Rong was ready to say goodbye, her mother was strict with her. But there is also a lot of love, but now that parting is imminent, I can't help but have red eyes and nose, and I am about to shed tears.
Although Ya's heart was hard, she also felt uncomfortable at this moment.
She couldn't help but want to scold this little guy, so that she might not be immersed in the sadness of parting.
But when he opened his mouth, he still couldn't speak harsh words.
He hugged her vigorously and handed her into Shan's arms.
This time, Sang Yu sent an old craftsman under Yan to take half of the newly formed construction team to meet up with the 100 people brought by Ya before. Duan Lu to get all done.
Accompanied by two big fat pigs twisting and twisting.
After the two groups met, Ya gave them a few instructions. Then he left and returned to the rock tribe, leaving this group of people behind, and when the road was built, they could go back.
Generally speaking, without cement, it is impossible to build cement roads.
In ancient times, people built roads by relying on mountains to eat mountains and water. The ground was rammed earth, and in some places, mellow soil and rice milk were used. Burn the soil once, and there will be no insects or grass. Rice milk can be smashed more tightly.
In ancient times, there were also floor tiles, but such roads were usually built in cities.
According to historical records, stones and tiles were used to build roads since the Han Dynasty. Due to the traces of time, they were polished very smooth.
According to historical records, there were already rails in the Qin Dynasty. This kind of wooden rails would hold the wheels of the carriage inside. They were built smooth and flat, and they ran very fast. ②
But the lime mortar made by the Phoenix tribe a few years ago. Although it is far inferior to cement in terms of performance, it is completely sufficient in this era when there are no heavy trucks of several tons or tens of tons.
But if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Sang Yu didn't hide his clumsiness at this time. He took a total of sixty large and small hammers, iron brazing, and shovels used in road construction to the construction site for them. It is more than enough to use it in turn and match other stone tools and bone tools.
Yan, the leader of the road repairing team of the Phoenix tribe, greeted the other party's people after arriving at the construction site, handed half of the tools to them, and asked them to register and return them on a regular basis every day.
This group of workers got such iron tools for the first time. One of them picked up a big hammer and swung it towards a big stone beside him.
And this big rock became torn apart under everyone's watchful eyes.
Everyone was stunned.
Years ago, their young leader took a batch of iron farm tools back. But the number is limited, and not everyone has the opportunity to experience it.
But it's amazing to hear everyone pass it on. Now that I have seen the power of this big hammer, I know that the rumors are true.
At first everyone was arranged to help build the road, and they were still very puzzled, but now they are convinced.
Everyone gathered around and touched dozens of tools here and there, loving it.
"The Phoenix tribe really has all kinds of good things. No wonder our leader and young leader want to run here whenever they have time."
"It is said that the old chief plans to live in the Phoenix Tribe soon."
"Here, what about the tribe?"
"Didn't the young leader go back? Now that Bu is here, it's no big deal."
"But having said that, the food of the Phoenix Tribe is really delicious. The last time I went to eat in their canteen with the young leader, I even licked the bowl."
"I ate it when I came here two years ago, and it was delicious."
"This time, I actually drove two pigs here. What a friend."
"The people of the Phoenix Tribe talk about loyalty, but the rock people dare not question it at all."
"Yeah, if Chief Ya hadn't made good friends with them, these benefits would not be our turn."
"If this road is repaired, we can get there in a day or two on horseback. It looks pretty close."
"Then I'm going to play football."
"It's okay to play in the league center, the league center is even closer."
"The Alliance Center is not as lively as the Phoenix Tribe."
"Yes, I want to go too."
While the big guys were discussing, the team leader's broken gong was yelling, calling a few people to help and prepare to kill the pig.
When everyone heard that there was meat to eat, they crowded around happily.
