Chapter 13: Young Master Niu Xu
Under Niu Xu’s sincere invitation, tribe leader Kui stuck his perfectly fine right index finger into the snow white salt and placed some into into his mouth.
After a moment, Kui, the robust primitive man, used an unbelievable tone to ask, “It’s salty. This is salt?”
Niu Xu did not talk but instead nodded his head in agreement. Instantly, someone from the crowd shouted, “How is this possible? Isn’t salt brown in color! Even the most expensive salt in Large Rock tribe is yellower than this.”
Facing the various guesses and suspicions, Niu Xu easily solved this small problem. He took the cow skin plastic bag and walked one round around the crowd, allowing them to personally taste the salt.
In the end, the rest of them believed that it was salt. It was self-evident from the the shocked’ faces of those who have tasted the salt. Without waiting for them to calm down from the shock earlier, Niu Xu’s evil hands opened up another cow skin plastic bag containing white sugar and once again, handed it over to tribe leader Kui.
Kui subconsciously placed some into his mouth. This time round, even his voice started to shudder, “It’s sweet. What is this? It taste as beautifully sweet as honey!”
“White sugar. This thing is called white sugar. You can directly consume it or sprinkle some into your food just like table salt,” Niu Xu explained to the people of the Black Rock tribe that were shocked silly.
Niu Xu’s facial expressions did not waver, in his heart however, he thought ‘In this age where they don’t even have the technology to obtain white salt, if the big characters wanted to eat something sweet, they could only rely on the tiny amount of natural honey. Such a good white sugar, I don’t believe it is impossible to blind the dog eyes of these bumpkins.’
For the rest of the time, the Black Rock tribe’s bumpkins had finally experienced various things that gave them boasting rights for the rest of their lives. For example, the metal pan that could boil a large pan of water in a short amount of time with the help of the fire. It was completely different from their stone pan. Let’s not talk about the long waiting time for it to boil, after using it for a while, the stone pan will strangely break apart.
Moreover, there were tea leaves that could remove oil and add freshness to the food, the steel knife that was much more sharper and durable than the stone knife, the soap that could clean the body by just applying a little bit…
All in all, in the perspective of the Black Rock tribe’s bumpkins, each one of the goods were something they had never seen before and they could not wait to possess them immediately.
Strangely enough, the more Niu Xu explained, the face color of tribe leader Kui became weirder, desire and struggle mixed together. When Niu Xu finished explaining, tribe leader Kui was as bloated as a pig’s liver.
Under the astonished discussions of the crowd, Niu Xu finally finished presenting the daily household products. The advantage from possessing the various technological advanced goods finally caused him to gain back his confidence, that was crushed by the gap strength.
Asking the obvious, Niu Xu asked tribe leader Kui, “tribe leader, are you satisfied with these things?”
“Very satisfied. Even though no merchant had came to our village for a long time, but based on our trading experience from the nearby tribe trades, we can tell that these are all very good stuff. Only the strongest tribe could manufacture so many exquisite products,” Kui said with extreme sincerity.
In is heart, this pretty face that was as thin as wild chicken was becoming more mysterious. As the tribe leader of this small sized tribe, he had the most knowledge.
However, even he had not heard of all these top quality products. Even so, among the large tribes outside of Luo Lei mountain region, those who could take out several high value goods in one shot must be the strongest big shot.
“Trial of the tribe’s successor!” A legend he had heard before faintly appeared in Kui’s head. Instantly, the Black Rock tribe’s leader gained a strand comprehension, he felt that he had roughly guessed the secret of the little pretty face in front of him.
Other than a successor from a large tribe, under the secret protection of the family guards, coming to Luo Lei mountain region to earn himself some credit, there were no better explanations than this.
In addition, to the Black Rock tribe that was facing a dire situation, this was a godsend backing. Before the spark of the flint, Kui made a decision in his heart ‘I must get on the good side of this little pretty face, no! It should be young master.’
Just like that, Niu Xu who was still contemplating on how to solve his identity and background had his problem solved by Kui, who has fixed such a perfect story onto Niu Xu without him knowing…
Just that, when Kui decided to hatch out a plan to please this young master from a large tribe, he realized that to the families of Black Rock tribes, they couldn’t afford much of it if they used reasonable price terms. But he really want the treasures in front of him.
Just based on the fact that the brown salt in their storage have left only a small portion, such that they have to drink the blood of the beasts to replenish their salt intake, their financial situation was already as bad as it is.
The robust man used his only right hand to rub his head and said in an abnormally awkward manner, “This young master, your goods are very good, but the Black Rock tribe is only poor small tribe. We don’t have much to exchange with you.”
“Young master?” This was his first time hearing people using such a grand name to call him which caused to fall into a stupor. He sensed that the other party might have misunderstood something, however this misunderstanding was too undoubtedly too beautiful…
Kui pointed at the salt and big metal pan that were on the floor and said, “This much amount of top quality salt from Large Rock tribe can be exchanged for about 250 kg beast meat. As for your white salt without any bitter taste, the price would at least increase by 1 fold. Regarding this metal pan, I don’t think even 100 stone pots could be exchanged for it.”
“250 kg of ferocious beast meat after one fold is nearly 500 kg,” The poor youth quickly calculated in his heart, even if he ate 2 meals of meat per day, it could last him for almost 2 months.
However, all he put in for the salt was the costs after the supermarket discount, which was not more than $3 in china’s currency. God knows how expensive 0.5 kg of those meat would cost after transporting back into his world.
However, soon enough, Niu Xu pushed aside his laughable plan. All the ferocious beasts meat cannot be leaked, otherwise, trouble would come knocking as his door. After all, he could not even explain the history of these meat that was extremely beneficial to one’s cultivation.
However, in his original world, other than eating, paying electricity bills and cleanliness, even the city’s defense tax was a large part of his expenditure, the meager amount of money from his job was completely not enough. In addition, he had to buy a few products once every few days to carry out the trade in the primordial world, causing the deficit in his funds to increase…
