Jiang Xuan walked into the stoneware workshop holding the luminous stone the size of a washbasin.
"Boom!"
The luminous stone was placed on the thick wooden table, attracting the attention of everyone in the stoneware workshop.
Old Man Blackstone immediately put down what he was doing, walked to the table, stared at the big stone for a long time, and gently stroked it a few times, as if he was not facing a stone, but a lover.
As a lithologist, his love for stones is difficult for ordinary people to understand.
"What a beautiful stone."
Old Blackstone looked at it for a while and exclaimed.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "I plan to split it into two and polish it into two round stone balls. As for the leftover materials, I can polish them into jewelry."
"Okay, okay, chief, you can rest assured to leave it to me. I will polish it into the most beautiful stone balls and ornaments according to your requirements."
Old Man Blackstone stroked the texture of the stone, and several decomposition plans quickly came to mind, and he chose the best one.
Immediately afterwards, Old Man Blackstone took out various tools and started working directly, regardless of whether Jiang Xuan was still there or not.
"Ding ding ding..."
Old Man Blackstone held a stone hammer and a stone chisel, tapping along the texture of the stone unhurriedly.
This kind of luminous stone has a relatively brittle texture. After Old Man Black Stone knocked it around, the whole stone suddenly cracked in the middle and split into two.
Next, Old Man Blackstone used a piece of lime to draw lines on the stone and first determined what each part was going to be made into, so as to avoid wasting materials to the greatest extent.
After drawing the line, Old Man Blackstone gave another "ding-dong-dong-dong" knock, completely decomposing the entire stone.
After decomposition, Old Man Blackstone polished the stones one by one, chiseling away the excess parts and smoothing the required parts.
This was a very time-consuming job. After Jiang Xuan looked at it for a while, he temporarily left the stone tool workshop. After all, he still had many things to do.
It was not until fifteen days later that Old Blackstone finally finished polishing it and personally took his apprentice to deliver the finished product to Jiang Xuan's house.
The finished products are packed separately in several animal skin bags, and the finished products are wrapped in soft deerskin to prevent bumps.
When Jiang Xuan closed the door and poured out the finished product from the animal skin bag, soft green light illuminated the entire room.
Two of them are round stone balls, polished very smooth by Old Man Black Stone.
Old Man Heishi also thoughtfully equipped the stone ball with two wooden bases, which were made by someone from a woodworking workshop.
Jiang Xuan placed one of the stone balls on the base and placed it in the middle of the table.
The round stone ball exudes a soft green light, just like a lamp, very beautiful.
Except for the round stone balls, the remaining larger scraps were polished into pendants by Old Man Blackstone.
The smaller scraps were polished into bracelets.
It can be said that very little of the entire stone is wasted.
This is the experience and technology of the old stone master.
"It's so beautiful. You really deserve to be a master of stone tools."
Jiang Xuan was very satisfied with the finished product, and he also praised the old man Heishi.
Mr. Heishi was very happy, with a long-lost smile on his usually serious face.
Then, he picked out a pendant from a pile of finished products, handed it to Old Blackstone, and said, "This is for you."
"No, no, no...I can't have it..."
"Take it, you deserve it."
Jiang Xuan gave the pendant to Old Blackstone without giving him a chance to refuse.
Old Blackstone held the pendant and was very moved. He was very lucky to meet such a good leader like Jiang Xuan.
For some bosses, no matter how much you do, you won't get any rewards, and you will even find faults with them.
Old Man Heishi was not a man of words. He stood in the room for a while and felt a little uncomfortable, so he said goodbye to Jiang Xuan and returned to work in the stone tool workshop.
When the people from the stone tool workshop left, Jiang Xuan immediately gave another luminous stone ball and its base to Chi Shao.
As for the remaining pendants and bracelets, Jiang Xuan plans to keep them and reward them to those tribesmen who have made great contributions in the future.
Only by having rewards and punishments can the people of the Vine tribe be more loyal to the tribe.
…
After autumn, the weather gradually gets cooler.
After the autumn harvest was completed, the Vine tribe held a grand autumn sacrificial ceremony.
After the sacrifice, the strength of the Vine Tribe warriors increased to another level.
Not only that, because Shen Teng has become a great god, all the warriors of the Teng tribe have been given some of Shen Teng's special abilities, such as extremely powerful vitality and the ability to heal wounds quickly.
With these talents, Vine tribe warriors can have a great advantage when facing those medium-sized and small tribes.
After the sacrifice, the weather gradually turned cooler, the grass and trees gradually withered, and winter was coming.
On September 11, in the sky south of the Vine Tribe, a dozen large black-toothed birds flew over.
These black-toothed birds carry a large amount of cargo on their backs, as well as warriors from the Black-tooth Tribe's expedition.
Among them, the leader is Karasuba, who has done business with the Vine tribe several times.
When Wu Yu rode a black-toothed bird and flew near the Vine Tribe, he suddenly felt a frightened feeling, and the black-toothed birds did not dare to fly any further.
"Could it be that the Patron Saint of the Vine Tribe has made a breakthrough again?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how long will it take?"
Karasuba's face was filled with disbelief. The rate of development of the Vine Tribe could be said to have completely subverted his cognition.
For other tribes, unless they migrate or are wiped out by others, the population will only increase or decrease for more than ten years or even decades, and the tribe will not change much.
But for the Vine Tribe, every time an expedition from the Black Tooth Tribe comes, they will see earth-shaking changes.
Especially this time, even if Shen Teng in the mist did not take the initiative to attack, the terrifying aura he naturally exuded made Karasuba's scalp numb.
He had only seen this kind of situation in other large tribes.
Could it be that the totem god of the Vine tribe has become a great god?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as this idea came out, Karasuba himself was startled and subconsciously wanted to deny it.
But the breath of Shen Teng is very similar to the breath of the totem god of the big tribe.
Not only the divine vines, but also the extremely tall vine wall that surrounds the entire vine tribe and even the forest outside is really spectacular.
Even the house on the ground floor was not the kind of house he had seen before.
Other tribes generally have short wooden houses, stone houses, or even caves.
But the houses of the Vine tribe are very large, and the roofs of many houses are no longer thatch and bark, but replaced by a kind of blue-gray stone flakes.
Yes, Karasuba thought it should be a kind of stone flake.
Moreover, there are a very large number of rattan tribe houses, arranged in rows and neatly, and it is very spectacular when viewed from the sky to the ground.
Wu Yu looked at it for a long time, and finally took out the bone whistle and blew several times from behind.
The black-toothed birds behind heard the whistle and landed on the ground one after another.
This time, they did not dare to fly directly into the Vine Tribe, but landed outside the Vine Tribe.
This is respect for the great tribe.
Of course, Karasuba is not sure whether the Vine Tribe is now considered a medium-sized tribe or a large tribe.
Outside the doorway to the south of the Vine Tribe, there is a large open space that was specially cleared.
Not only the south gate, but also the other three gates. There is an open space in front of the gate, which is convenient for stacking goods or lining up.
"Hey..."
Twelve huge black-toothed birds fell from the sky and landed in the open space one by one.
Their huge size, sharp claws, and jagged beaks all make them intimidating.
The nearby tribesmen and tourists all stayed away from that area, hiding in the distance and talking about it.
Some people know the black-toothed bird and know that it is the expedition of the black-toothed tribe.
Some people didn't know them and thought they came to the Teng tribe to cause trouble.
"Boom!"
Wu Yu jumped off the back of the black-toothed bird, looking at the tourists around and the goods coming in and out, feeling a little dazed.
When I first came to the Teng tribe, there were only a few thatched huts and more than a dozen people. In just a few years, it has developed into what it is now.
I really can't understand it.
But it doesn't matter. The Black Tooth Tribe is far away from here. The development of the Vine Tribe will not have much impact on them. At most, the transactions in this small area will be slightly affected.
On the other side, Jiang Xuan received a report from the guards and knew that the Black Tooth Tribe was coming.
He immediately headed to the south gate, and when Wu Yu was about to enter the Teng tribe, Jiang Xuan had already greeted him.
"Captain Karasuba, long time no see, hahaha..."
Jiang Xuan laughed and walked up to Karasuba and gave him a bear hug, very enthusiastically.
Because the Black Tooth Tribe travels far away, they always bring some good things every time they come here. Of course Jiang Xuan is enthusiastic.
Wu Yu's eyes stayed on Jiang Xuan's face, and in his heart there were ten thousand black wind rhinos with hooves stained with grass and mud running past.
"Xuan...Leader Xuan, you...you became a five-color warrior?"
Karasuba looked like he had seen a ghost.
When I first met Jiang Xuan, he was just a weak one-color warrior, while Karasuba was a powerful three-color warrior.
But now, Jiang Xuan has become a five-color warrior, and Wu Yu is still a three-color warrior.
Are the differences between people really so outrageous?
"Hahaha, I was lucky, I had better luck, so I broke through faster."
After listening to Jiang Xuan's words, Wu Yu became even more depressed. He rode a black-toothed bird all over the Southern Wilderness every day, why didn't he encounter such a good thing?
Jiang Xuan changed the topic and said: "Captain Karasuba, you guys haven't been here for a long time."
Wu Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Don't mention it. Ever since the tribes from the Western Wilderness migrated to the Southern Wilderness, the large tribes, medium-sized tribes, and small tribes have been fighting fiercely. Our Black Teeth tribe has also been affected."
The migration of tribes in the Western Wilderness has a greater impact than imagined because there are so many tribes.
The Vine Tribe is only a small area from the Western Wilderness to the Southern Wilderness. There are more Western Wilderness tribes in other areas.
After these Western Wilderness tribes entered the Southern Wilderness, the weak ones found places to settle on the edges, while the powerful ones marched directly into the hinterland of the Southern Wilderness to rob those resource-rich areas.
In this case, most of the tribes were involved, and the entire Southern Wilderness was turned into a mess.
Even the small area where the Vine Tribe is located has been fought countless times. You can imagine how fierce the fighting was in areas rich in resources.
Jiang Xuandao: "It's indeed quite troublesome. Our Vine Tribe alone has fought against several tribes from the Western Wilderness. Fortunately, we were lucky and we won them all."
Karasuba didn't want to talk anymore. He could still say that he was lucky once or twice. After fighting so many times, the tribe became stronger and stronger as he fought. Anyone who believes that the Fuji tribe is really lucky is a fool.
But he didn't say much. The stronger the Vine Tribe is, the better it is for traveling teams like them, because they can trade more things and earn more profits.
At Jiang Xuan's warm invitation, Wu Yu and his warriors took the goods through the vine wall and entered the vine tribe.
As soon as he entered the Vine tribe, Karasuba saw two huge beast skulls as big as hills, one was the skull of the jackal god, and the other was the skull of the latest wild boar god.
After Shinto absorbed the essence and divine substances in the skull, he threw the skeleton out.
Among them, Jiang Xuan sent a team of soldiers to move the skull, the hardest and most terrifying one, outside the trading area, and used it as decorations with the skull of the Jackal God on the left and right.
These two hill-like skulls not only have a decorative effect, but also show the strength of the Vine Tribe. Everyone who comes to the Vine Tribe Trading Area will know that the Vine Tribe is not someone to be trifled with and must not cause trouble here.
After Karasuba and his warriors saw the two totem god skulls, although they didn't say anything, their postures obviously lowered their posture.
"Chief Xuan, when did your Vine tribe establish a trading area?"
"Just last year, not long after it was established, you haven't been here for the past two years, and the nearby tribes need to trade again, so we built a trading area to facilitate everyone's trading."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jiang Xuan’s words were an understatement, but Karasuba didn’t think so.
Even if other tribes establish trading areas, it is often just an open space with a few wooden sheds built on it.
But in the trading area of the Vine Tribe, there are two neat rows of tall houses, and even the ground is paved with stone slabs. They cannot be built casually.
"Chief Xuan, can we go into the trading area and have a look?"
"Of course you can. You came all the way, and we happened to go into the trading area to get something to eat."
"Is there anything to eat in your trading area?"
"Of course, we will sell whatever people need."
Jiang Xuan led Wu Yu and others through the trading area. The pedestrians coming and going and the dazzling array of products made Wu Yu and others feel overwhelmed, and even felt as if they were dreaming and unreal.
When Jiang Xuan took them to the inn in the trading area, he saw neat tables and chairs and outsiders eating in twos and threes. This feeling of unreality became even stronger.
In other tribes, they have never seen such a scene.
Jiang Xuan took them to a compartment in the inn specially used for entertaining. After sitting down, the guy in charge of the inn hurried over.
"Chief, what do you want to eat?"
"Cut fifty kilograms of cooked meat, two cauldrons of red crystal rice, fry some vegetables, and serve some watery fruits first to quench the thirst of the guests of the Black Tooth Tribe."
"Okay, I'll be here soon."
The waiter left in a hurry, and not long after, some seasonal fruits came over in a few beautiful rattan baskets.
"Come on, come on, eat some fruit, you're welcome."
Under Jiang Xuan's warm greeting, Wu Yu and others took some fruits to eat. At this season, the fruits were ripe, very sweet, and juicy, which quenched their thirst.
Before Karasuba could praise the fruit, several waiters from the inn brought in fifty kilograms of cooked animal meat, and the rich aroma of meat filled the whole room.
These cooked meats are packed in several large pottery pots. There are rattan tribal totem patterns on the sides of the pottery pots, as well as some flower and bird patterns, which are very beautiful.
Immediately afterwards, two big cauldrons of red crystal rice were brought up, as well as stir-fried vegetables unique to the Teng tribe.
In this era where roasting and boiling are the main methods of food processing, cooking is a very luxurious thing.
Karasuba and the soldiers looked at the dishes on the table, salivating rapidly and swallowing them quietly.
