Chapter 35 You better not lie to me

"What conditions?"

Yinyi also knows that there are problems with the salt production of his tribe, but this has been passed down from generation to generation. They have not found any way to improve it, so they can only continue like this, and some of them even think it is not important at all.

If some tribes hadn't mentioned this problem when they came to exchange for salt, they wouldn't have realized it yet.

"This technology is not given to you for free. In other words, I can teach you this, but you must give us one-third of the salt you produce, and we are not required to exchange it for anything."

As soon as Qin Yao said this, everyone looked at each other again.

"How can this work? We don't have much production to begin with. If we give out so much more, we won't have much left."

"And we can't exchange it for food, so how will we survive the winter?"

"That's right! This...this condition is not suitable at all!"

Qin Yao looked at Yin Yi, he had the most say in this.

Yin Yi was silent, they were right, they did suffer a bit in exchange for this condition.

"Actually, you can think about it in another way. The tribe you are exchanging is not just the Songyan tribe. After your salt is pure, you can increase the amount of food exchange with other tribes. After all, the salt now is different from the salt before. There are no impurities, and there will be no waste when used. I believe that as long as there are people who can calculate, they will agree.”

Qin Yao gave Yin Yi a way, and then said: "But this does not include the Songyan tribe."

Yinyi held his chin and thought about her words. After a moment, he said, "Okay, I agree!"

"Little Chief?!"

"Stop talking about it. As long as the output can be increased without impurities, what if we share some with them?"

Qin Yao couldn't help but look at Yin Yi twice. It was not unreasonable to become a chief at this age.

"Can you tell us how to do it now?"

"No, I have a second condition."

"What conditions?"

Once Yin knew this, it wasn't that simple.

"The little chief should also know that the Songyan tribe came to exchange for salt. I want the little chief to come forward to testify against the chief of the Songyan tribe!"

Not only Yin Yi was present, but even Chu Cheng was slightly surprised.

"He is your chief!"

"I know!"

If he hadn't gone too far, Qin Yao wouldn't have made such a move.

The Songyan tribe is huge, and Zhen Po is just a part of it. What about the places she didn’t see?
Are there other people like Po Zhen who were bullied by the chief and Dongdong's mother?

Her abilities are limited, but she still wants to help them within her limited abilities.

"it is good!"

Yinyi agreed that this had nothing to do with his tribe anyway, and he could still accept it as long as the Linhai tribe was not involved.

Qin Yao glanced around and said, "Your tribe has a large beach. I saw it when I came here before. There is a very good place there. You can dig up that beach and make it into a square shape. Sand.”

"What are you doing this for? Does it have anything to do with salt production?"

Qin Yao nodded, "Yes, it has a lot to do with it, if you want high output."

Yin Yi didn't know if Qin Yao's method was right, and he was afraid that she would lie to him because she didn't want to be killed by him, but seeing the confident look on her face, he became less suspicious.

"Just do what she said." Qin Yao led the people from the Linhai tribe to a beach that she thought was good. The sand here was darker and contained other minerals.

Qin Yao drew a template for them, and they followed what she drew.

The sand on the beach is easy to dig, and with the help of all the Linhai tribe, the digging was completed by the evening of the next day.

Qin Yao took a look and found that it was similar to what she imagined.

"what's next?"

"I saw bamboo on the mountain in the distance when you were digging the sand yesterday. You asked them to cut the bamboo and make it into a bamboo basket."

Qin Yao discovered this accidentally. She was just walking around with Chu Cheng when she was bored, and she really didn't expect her to see this thing.

Yesterday, she let Chu Cheng try it out. Chu Cheng had strong manual skills. After splitting the chopped bamboo, he braided it according to Qin Yao's instructions. Although the movement was a bit slow at first, he became faster after getting familiar with it and the braiding was smooth. Well, he could even weave a bird out of bamboo, which really impressed Qin Yao.

In the past two days, Qin Yao's eyes stayed on him for much less time. When the two of them were alone together, Chu Cheng would often coax her to find a sense of presence for himself. He never tired of Qin Yao's excitement when she saw the bird.

"Chu Cheng knows this, let him teach you later!"

This was the first time Yinyi and the others had heard of such a thing as a bamboo basket. When they saw the shape of Chu Cheng's weaving, they immediately admired Qin Yao.

This thing is much better and lighter than the stones they usually use.

After the bamboo basket was woven, some people had doubts.

"What are we using this bamboo basket for?"

"Put in sea water!"

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows. She looked so cute. Chu Cheng, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but feel a little itchy. This little woman was really lovable, especially her proud look. He really wanted to touch her.

"What? Can this bamboo basket hold seawater?"

The man picked up the bamboo basket and looked inside through the sunlight. There were holes one after another inside. He tried to fill it with seawater, but the bamboo basket was like a sieve and all the water leaked.

Of course Qin Yao knew that the bamboo basket had holes, but she smiled at the man and said, "Of course your bamboo basket is not good. It is not tightly woven enough and the gaps in the holes are too big, so it will definitely leak. You have to weave it like Chu Cheng's." Just the same."

She put some seawater in the bamboo basket made by Chu Cheng. Although there was some leakage, compared to that man's bamboo basket, Chu Cheng's was obviously much better.

"But there are still some leaks!"

"I know, but this is already the least leaky. If we put another layer of animal skin on top, do you think it will still leak?"

The quality of animal skin is better than those of modern fabrics. It is waterproof and warm. If you put a layer on it, the seawater will not leak out.

The man touched his head and sneered twice, "Then I'll make it up now."

Qin Yao sorted out the unqualified bamboo baskets and kept the good ones.

"With these, Yinyi, you can arrange for people to fill bamboo baskets with water and pour seawater into the sand. Pay attention to splashing water evenly. Every part of the sand must be wet and splashed with seawater."

"Wouldn't the sea water seep into the sand? Wouldn't our work be in vain?"

Those people began to question Qin Yao again.

"No, you believe me."

The people from the Linhai tribe looked at Yin Yi, waiting for his reply.

Yinyi had never seen such a method of producing salt, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "You'd better not lie to me, or else don't blame me for being rude!"
