The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 75 Chopsticks
Chen Bei followed the bone armor, the leader of the Chuanshan tribe, all the way to the halfway up the mountain.

During the period, Chenbei saw many people from the Chuanshan tribe. They were very timid. Even if there was a leader there, they didn't dare to get close to them. They only dared to look from a distance.

Especially when they saw those huge rhinos, they were very frightened. As long as there was any trouble, they would immediately get into the hole.

After arriving halfway up the mountain, Chen Bei found that there was a large piece of flat land, but there was no house.

People of the Chuanshan tribe are used to living in caves and rarely build houses.

Everyone else was waiting on the flat ground, only Chen Bei, Lie, and Baicao, the three high-ranking people, were invited into the cave where the bone armor lived.

The inside of the cave is also very simple, but there is a huge stone as a table. As for the stool, there is no such thing as a soft moss pad, and everyone sits on the ground.

Many small holes were cut on the wall of the cave, and many things were placed in the small holes, such as animal teeth and various tools. Chenbei also saw a pottery bowl placed on the animal skin, which was very bright and was obviously often wiped. .

Seeing Chen Bei staring at the pottery bowl, Bone Armor felt a little proud. This was summoned by the previous leader from the Diao tribe at a great cost.

He carefully took down the pottery bowl, put it on the table, and said proudly: "Chief Chen, what do you think of this pottery bowl? Totem pattern."

After finishing speaking, Bone Armor took another piece of wild boar skin, picked up the pottery bowl, and wiped it carefully.

In fact, Chen Bei didn't like such things at all. He even brought a lot of pottery to trade this time, but it was destroyed in the battle.

However, Chen Bei had an idea and suddenly thought of a good idea.

Chen Bei said: "This pottery bowl is indeed very good, but it lacks a matching item."

"What?" Bone Armor asked curiously.

"Chopsticks!"

"Chopsticks? What are those?"

The bone armor was full of doubts, he had never heard of such things as chopsticks.

Chen Bei took out a pair of chopsticks made of animal bones from his animal skin bag, which he carried with him, because he knew that almost all other tribes used their hands to grab food, and he didn't like to use his hands, so Carry chopsticks with you.

This pair of chopsticks is white, because Chen Bei has used it for a long time, it has become very smooth, like a starched artwork.

"This is the chopsticks."

Bone Armor looked at Chen Bei's chopsticks, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this just a stick made from two animal bones? What's the use?"

Chen Bei smiled and said: "The leader of the bone armor, our Mang tribe, often goes to various tribes to do business, including many large tribes, such as the eagle tribe, and even the fish tribe outside the mountain."

"In those big tribes, noble people don't know how to grab food with their hands."

Bone Armor frowned and asked, "Then how do they eat?"

Chen Bei said: "They use Tao Ding to cook food, do you know Tao Ding?"

Bone Armor shook his head again, what Chen Bei was talking about was things he had never heard of, and at this moment he somewhat believed that Chen Bei had really been to many places.

Chen Bei gestured and said: "It's just a big clay pot, some are round and some are square. The round pottery tripod has three legs under it, and the square pottery tripod has four legs under it. Just put it on the ground like this, and put the food in it. Put it in with water, put the lid on, and put it on the fire."

Not only the bone armor was dumbfounded, even Lie and Baicao were taken aback by Chen Bei, because they had never seen the so-called Tao Ding.

Chen Bei continued: "After it's cooked, open the lid of the Tao Ding and use a spoon. Do you know the spoon? It's round and has a long handle."

Chen Bei gestured again, clearly drawing the shape of the spoon.

"After cooking, these distinguished people will use spoons to scoop the meat and soup in the pottery tripod into a bowl, yes, it is your pottery bowl."

Seeing that Chen Bei finally said what he knew, Gu Jia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt that he had a pottery bowl, just like the nobles of the big tribe, he felt that his face was radiant.

Chen Bei continued: "After scooping it into a bowl, they will put the bowl on a beautiful table, and then sit on a stool, unlike us, who sit directly on the ground."

Hearing what Chen Bei said, Gu Jia suddenly felt that sitting on the ground was really a shameful thing, but he didn't know what the stool Chen Bei was talking about, and he couldn't bear to ask, so he had to continue listening patiently.

"Then, they will use chopsticks, which are the two sticks in my hand, to eat meat from the bowl. They are not afraid of burning their hands, and they are also clean."

Chen Bei held the chopsticks in his hands, and demonstrated very skillfully how to pick up food from the bowl and put it into his mouth.

In this way, after a whole set of explanations by Chen Bei, some of the outdated concepts of bone armor were successfully broken.

For example, pottery tripods should be used for cooking, eating should not be done on the floor, pottery bowls should be paired with a pair of chopsticks, etc.

In order to sell the chopsticks, Chen Bei tried his best.

In fact, not only chopsticks, he suddenly discovered that there are quite a lot of things that can be sold, such as tables and stools, pottery tripods, and various living utensils.

Among them, Tao Ding was something he just thought of in a flash of inspiration, and the Mang tribe didn't have it yet.

Cooking food in a pottery tripod is much better than using a stone pot.

At this moment, Bone Armor was moved by Chen Bei's words. He stared at the delicate chopsticks in Chen Bei's hands, and then at his own ceramic bowl. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that the two matched very well.

It's fine if I didn't know it before, but now that I know that chopsticks must go with pottery bowls, the idea of ​​buying a pair of chopsticks in Bone Armor's heart gradually became stronger little by little.

Bone Armor said: "Chief Chen, I like this pair of chopsticks, and I am willing to exchange them with precious treasures from our tribe."

Unexpectedly, Chen Bei shook his head and said: "This is not acceptable, these chopsticks are mine, and I cannot do without them."

There was a look of disappointment in Bone Armor's eyes.

"However..." Chen Bei glanced at the bone armor, and continued: "For this transaction, I also brought a pair of better chopsticks than mine. If the bone armor leader likes it, he can exchange it with something."

Bone Armor's eyes lit up, and said, "Where is it? Show me quickly."

Chen Bei got up, went outside to find the Rhino King, and then found a special animal skin bag from a pile of animal skin bags, which contained various precious things.

He took out a small long animal skin bag from this animal skin bag, and then returned to the cave where the bone armor lived.

Bone Armor stared at the long animal skin bag intently, and said, "There are chopsticks inside, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Bei unwrapped the rope tied on the small animal skin bag, and poured out a pair of chopsticks as clean as jade from inside.

Chen Bei put the pair of chopsticks on the table and said, "These chopsticks are made from the teeth of a giant wild boar. They are very precious, and they are many times better than my chopsticks."

"The leader of the bone armor knows how fierce the giant wild boar is, right? In order to hunt this giant wild boar and grind this pair of chopsticks, our tribe paid a lot of price!"

Bone Armor picked up this pair of chopsticks and couldn't put it down. Tribal people like to make things with ferocious animal bones or teeth. The more ferocious they are, the more they prove their strength.

"I want this pair of chopsticks, and I can exchange them with many treasures!" Bone Armor said impatiently.

"You are really discerning. Such a good thing, paired with your pottery bowl, will definitely make everyone envious."

A bright smile appeared on Chen Bei's face. At this moment, he experienced the joy of doing business.
