When pepper ushered in the first bumper harvest after the big cultivation, Yang Yi started to prepare for the first trade fair in May this year.
According to the experience of last year, the Spark Tribe has previously set the annual trade fair in the first ten days of May and the first ten days of November. May is called the small trade fair, and November is called the big trade fair.
May is the time when the tribes have just recovered from the famine, so there are not many people who can participate, and most of them will wait until November to travel thousands of miles to conduct transactions.
However, according to the information that has been obtained, the number of tribes participating in this year's small fair will be much more than last year's big fair after the harvest season.
Originally, some small trade fairs decided to cancel and rushed to the Starfire Tribe together.
Not only are there more patterns here, but more importantly, the services provided by the Starfire Tribe allow them not to be confused in the transaction, and they can exchange for their favorite things with less supplies than before, and they can also guarantee safety.
Although it is unavoidable that I still have doubts about the Xinghuo tribe, and I don't fully trust it, but I am willing to come and try.
"We still have a lot of ground fruits, sweet potatoes and potatoes left." Yang Yi looked through the inventory in the warehouse.
The newly appointed secretary Sakura smiled and said: "These are stored in the warehouse as a strategic reserve. Everyone has always regarded these foods as non-existent, and ate the other parts with tight clothing and food, but they have not touched them at all."
The huge number of people made everyone feel a sense of crisis, and everyone knew very well what it would mean for the entire tribe if there was turmoil.
Therefore, the tribe reduced the supply of food, and everyone cooperated very much.
In fact, even so, their food in winter still far exceeds the previous amount, but it is not as wanton as in other seasons.
This is very normal for people from the Eastern Continent, no matter which tribe they are in.
When it is difficult to find food in winter, life is relatively poor.
Everyone will take advantage of the harvest season to fatten themselves, just to have fat to digest in winter.
Therefore, no turmoil was caused, and everyone's mentality was very peaceful, which was much better than Yang Yi expected.
These people are very optimistic, have no sense of private ownership, and don't have so many small thoughts.
"The potatoes didn't sprout, did they?"
"The people in charge of the warehouse just went to check. Only a small part of them started to germinate, and they have been planted. Most of them are still good."
"We must pay attention to food safety, this must not be sloppy." Yang Yi urged.
In the past, the poultry in the farm died due to illness. To be on the safe side, Yang Yi ordered people to bury all these dead poultry in the wilderness, so as to prevent people from eating them and getting sick.
Unexpectedly, it was dug out not long after.
At that time, Yang Yi was very worried that some tribesmen would not give up, so he would do such a thing. After investigation, it was found that it was an animal in the wasteland, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
But since then, Yang Yi ordered people not to simply bury them, but to burn them all at the trouble.
It is troublesome for people to eat it, and it is not a good thing for animals to eat it.
If they can't shield the virus and cause it to spread among animals, it will be difficult to hunt in the future.
Fortunately, the virus here is not that strong yet, and wild animals have very strong resistance, so nothing bad happened.
But since then, Yang Yi has also paid more attention to food safety issues.
In the past, people didn't pay much attention to these things, but now they must correct their wrong consciousness step by step, and let them carry out health science popularization work for everyone every once in a while.
"Yes!" Sakura replied crisply, and wrote it down in the folder she carried with her.
Ying is also an intelligent person, although not as careful as Ye Jian, but she has a quick brain and is still a speed talent.
However, her speed is different from what others have shown. She does not run fast but her hands are fast, especially her writing is very fast, and her shorthand is very strong.
At present, in addition to being Yang Yi's secretary, she is also responsible for copying the books that Yang Yi brought.
She has been copying books before, and the volume is very large every day, and she is a lazy person who doesn't know how to save effort. She not only writes fast, but also writes well and accurately, and the intensity is more difficult.
Too heavy work, coupled with the high speed, led to severe tenosynovitis, and sometimes it was almost impossible to hold the pen.
Sakura herself didn't tell anyone about it, but she was worried about affecting her work, so she went to the hospital for examination and medicine, and reported it when she found out.
Everyone dared not let her work so hard again, but this girl is honest, and she likes copying books very much, and feels that she is very close to God.
It happened that Yang Yi didn't have a secretary by his side, so he simply asked her to be a secretary by Yang Yi's side.
When you are free, you can copy some books, but you can’t spend all day and night like before.
When Yang Yi knew about Ying's deeds, he was very moved. It's no wonder that their tribe developed so fast. There are too many lovely people like Ying in the tribe.
"In another month, the first batch of sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. will be harvested, right?"
Sakura nodded very positively: "Yes, I just went to the farm this morning and learned that the early batches can be harvested in about a month. This time the harvest will be quite large, because the planting area is much larger than before, and the yield The reduction will not affect the total amount."
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn are all extremely productive, and they are currently the staple food of the tribe.
At present, rice noodles are still a relatively luxurious food, and it is more troublesome to eat. It also needs to be threshed and pounded rice, unlike sweet potatoes, which only need to be cooked or roasted.
Now a new batch of sweet potatoes and other things are about to be served, and the old ones will be left over, but the quantity is not too much. If Yang Yi didn't specifically mention it, Ying would not specifically mention it.
"Let's dispose of this batch at the trade fair and replace it with some other food."
Sakura recorded it in the folder, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but say, "But the food they can exchange for is much less than the original one. Our tribe is still short of food, so it's not worth it?"
Yang Yi looked up at her, and Ying suddenly became nervous. Her words were undoubtedly questioning the envoy.
Hundreds of thoughts flashed through my mind, and the room was eerily quiet.
Seeing that Ying was looking at him, Yang Yi still didn't back down, and wanted to get an answer, so he immediately laughed.
"You can ask this question, which shows that you have seriously thought about it."
Yang Yi admires Ying more and more, she is more daring than Ye Jian, and this kind of boldness is not stupid, it is all after thinking.
Ying copied books every day, although she copied very quickly every time, but when she wrote a lot, something always came into her mind, and it was always useful.
"It's really not suitable to use them directly for exchange, but after processing, making them more delicious and unique, then you can exchange for more things."
Sakura understood immediately, and quickly thought of something:
"Envoy of God, do you want to make sweet potato flour and potato flour?"
Yang Yi was surprised: "How do you know?"
At present, the tribe is still struggling with food and clothing, so although the cafeteria will try its best to make delicious food, it will not spend too much time on secondary processing of staple food.
They have not yet reached that economic level, and cannot spend too much time and manpower on food. It's just that every time I cook vegetables and meat, I will put more thought into it to make the food more delicious.
The staple food is basically cooked and eaten directly, and ordinary noodles are also made into steamed buns or steamed buns, etc. Too complicated patterns are usually made only once in special occasions.
Such as using sweet potato flour, potato flour, rice flour, etc., the food that requires secondary processing of staple food has not been done before.
"God made me eat the ones you brought before, and the taste is really good! I always remember their taste, the taste is very special, and I have seen it described in some books."
Sakura smiled embarrassedly, she just loves to eat, and she is particularly sensitive to these things.
Yang Yi laughed: "It seems that it should be easy for you to find out the books that made these things."
"I know it all!" Sakura was very excited, "They are all placed on the gourmet bookshelf."
"You will find out in a while, I will let the chief start preparations immediately, and strive to produce enough quantities before the trade fair."
"Envoy of God, just leave it to me, I will find out all the relevant information!"
Seeing her like this, Yang Yi smiled and said, "I like it so much?"
"It's delicious! It's especially good in the broth. The texture is very special, smooth and sometimes very elastic. The same thing is completely different after processing. Not only me, everyone likes it very much!"
"If sold to other tribes or caravans, do you think it will be popular?"
"Of course!" Sakura was very sure, "Whether potato flour or sweet potato flour is crystal clear, the Western Continent Caravan must like this kind of food."
Yang Yi is also full of confidence. If it really can't be sold at a good price, it won't be a waste to let the tribesman change their taste.
"I'll set up the team for you tomorrow." Hei Lie heard Yang Yi's words and gave him the time for completion very quickly.
Yang Yi was surprised: "So fast?"
Although there are many people in the tribe, it does not mean that it is an easy task to recruit people. It also needs investigation and arrangement, otherwise it will affect other work.
"The chefs in the cafeteria can't stand it anymore. These guys like to think about food all day long."
Those assigned to the kitchen are all talented in cooking.
Some people have a particularly sensitive sense of smell and know how food tastes as soon as they smell it; some people have a very sensitive sense of taste and know how food is cooked as soon as they eat it.
In addition to these, there are other kinds of talented people. Although they are slightly more sensitive than ordinary people, they have unique innate advantages in cooking and eating.
Although the meals in the cafeteria are relatively simple, in order to save time and materials, the most common cooking methods are usually used, and the time is also limited.
But they taste very good, and you can clearly feel the progress of the chefs' cooking skills.
The tribes or caravans who come to trade now, those who have a little money, don't like to cook their own food, and they have to buy meal tickets from the Starfire Tribe to cook.
People who like to cook always like to delve into it, but they also know that the tribe can't squander it now, so you can only use it within the range that you can use.
They are the happiest to start making spin-offs now.
"There are not many technicians, and the main thing is to deploy workers. Now time is tight, and all the inventory in the warehouse must be produced before the trade fair."
"You don't have to worry about this. The trade union is getting smoother now. It's much easier to recruit people than before. Leave it to me, and you can forget about everything else."
When Yang Yi heard this, he put the matter aside.
"Ah, hot and sour noodles will be available soon! It's a pity that we don't have enough rice, otherwise we can still make rice noodles, rice skins, etc."
Yang Yi couldn't help swallowing when he thought about it, and continued to work hard. Now you can't think about what to eat, you must consider the cost.
Not to mention food and clothing, at least occasionally you can eat some food with exquisite workmanship to improve the overall living standard.
Yang Yi said that the ambition is not big, his goal is to build a safe city with all kinds of food in it, and make the whole city full of vitality.
He didn't have much thought about living a luxurious life. After all, he was considered a rich second generation in the past, and he didn't have much desire for material things at that time.
There is also no hobby of controlling power and dominating others at will. It is just good for farming—the kind that can be harvested without doing it yourself.
"If you want to eat, I will cook it for you now. You don't need to restrict yourself because of others. As long as we can do it, no matter what it is, you are entitled and free to enjoy it."
Yang Yi laughed: "I don't want to abuse myself that much. I still have some reserves in my space, but I prefer to be with everyone."
"You must remember, don't wrong yourself." Black Hunter was very serious.
Yang Yi stroked his eyebrows: "I won't leave easily."
After the two were combined, Yang Yi could feel the uneasiness in Hei Lie's heart even more.
Don't look at this man's tall horse, strong force and very strong force value. He usually has a domineering and ostentatious personality, but he still has his own weak side.
Black Hunter was silent and did not speak.
Every time I think about these things inadvertently, the atmosphere will become a little depressed.
Yang Yi changed the subject and shared the happy things he encountered today:
"Our first batch of silkworms had a high survival rate, and now they are all white and fat."
Yang Yi also brought silkworm seeds, and planted mulberry trees last year, but did not raise silkworms.
Silkworms are very delicate, and clothes made of silk are very expensive no matter in ancient or modern times, and the fabrics are also delicate.
Last year, it was mainly about food and clothing, and there was no established trading position at that time, so Yang Yi was not in a hurry to raise silkworms.
This year is different. Although the food and clothing problem is still the top priority, they have established friendly exchanges with the Western Continent Caravan and some powerful tribes, and have determined their ability to consume luxury goods.
Therefore, it is still possible to start raising silkworms and making silk products.
The ancient Silk Road on the earth is enough to prove how important silk fabrics are and what their status is in the exchange.
"It's really good news, your skin is better suited to silk products, others are too rough."
The corner of Yang Yi's mouth twitched: "Don't call me so delicate, I will think you are mocking me."
His body was obviously healthier than before, but after the sudden change, there was no movement for a long time, which made Yang Yi very depressed.
I thought that even if I couldn't be as tough as the fighters here, I could at least have a physique similar to that of ordinary people, but the result was still not as good.
Don't even think about killing the Quartet, let's just farm in a weird way.
"They are more in line with your identity." Black Hunter changed his words.
Yang Yi didn't bother to argue with him: "I believe the Western Continent Caravan will be fascinated by them. The essential oils before are enough to drive them crazy."
After Maple Leaf City brought the essential oil and soap back, there was a frenzy, and soon caravans came to the Starfire Tribe regardless of the severe cold and snow.
Joe was even more angry, thinking that they were too uninteresting, and they were not the first to have such a good thing.
These Westerners are very obsessed with these, both men and women are in love with this taste.
Even in the cold season when flowers cannot be seen, it can also emit a charming floral fragrance.
Not to mention that they also have beauty and sleeping effects, which are even more fascinating.
From the people who came from the Western Continent Caravan and the information they inquired, the nobles in the big cities, regardless of gender, are very concerned about their appearance.
When I saw the makeup set owned by Jinhuan before, I was completely crazy.
If it wasn't for Jin Huan being tough and determined, he would have already compromised and let it go.
When I came to the Xinghuo Tribe, I didn't spend much time thinking about owning it.
Yang Yi didn't buy too many of these things at the beginning. After all, he didn't wear makeup, so he added it to the shopping cart with the mentality of buying everything.
The people of the Green Python Tribe love beauty, and in order to reach a friendly relationship with them, Yang Yi almost emptied all his belongings at that time but was unable to take them out.
But judging from the generous spending of the Western Continent Caravan, these people are definitely not short of money, and they are the best consumers of luxury goods.
This point is more particular than most tribes in the Eastern Continent, and the market will be larger.
There are too many people in the tribe now, and agriculture alone cannot greatly improve the standard of living, and it is necessary to develop more industries to obtain wealth.
This is a mutually beneficial approach, which is more friendly and long-term than the robbers of the Blackstone tribe.
"There are more flowers this year than last year, and the green python tribe will directly double, and we will produce more essential oils."
"Actually, there are other things that can be made, but right now I don't have the time to spare." Yang Yi lamented.
Rouge, gouache, etc., all items that lead the consumer market on the earth can be produced, and there should be some books in the database that record ancient handmade recipes.
I dare not compare with similar products on the earth, but I can still produce some effective items.
"It won't be too late when we get to know the Western Continent better. If we come up with so many good things at once, they will affect the price of each other. Occasionally, something like that will come out, so that people can update after they come out of the madness, and they can get more profits."
Yang Yi was full of admiration, and raised his thumb towards him: "You really know more and more now."
"I can't leave you too much behind."
Yang Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "No, no, you have misunderstood yourself."
It took Black Hunter a year to reach at least the level of junior high school. This is still science knowledge such as physics and chemistry, and the liberal arts are further advanced.
Regarding this, Yang Yi felt very complicated.
The trade fair is coming soon, Joe and En once again lead the caravan to the Starfire Tribe ahead of schedule.
When they were about to reach the Xinghuo Tribe, the group temporarily stopped to rest.
In fact, they could go directly to the Xinghuo Tribe in one go, but after so many visits, Joe and En, who considered themselves gentlemen, didn't want to walk into the Xinghuo Tribe in their dirty clothes.
The Xinghuo tribe is a wonderful existence, no matter which city they go to, they don't feel that they are so dirty!
The barbaric land they looked down upon before, now they feel like barbarians every time they arrive at the Starfire Tribe.
Especially since everyone has traveled for such a long time, they dare not take a bath naked in the wild, because they don't look good or smell good.
Although the Xinghuo tribe didn't look at them strangely, they felt very uncomfortable inside.
So I decided to wash up by a small stream now before arriving, and put on clean clothes before entering.
"Boss, we seem to have gone the wrong way!" The spy ran back with a look of horror.
Joe was shocked: "What? Wrong way? How is it possible!"
"How did you inquire, how could we go wrong, how many times have we come here?"
En was very annoyed. If the spy hadn't been reliable in his usual work, he would have killed him on the spot.
The spy quickly explained: "Not far ahead is a high mountain that blocks the view, and I didn't see the farmland and buildings that should be seen at all."
Qiao and En quickly stood up and went to check together, and they saw that the realization in the distance was blocked.
Because the distance is too far, I can't see what it is.
"What's going on? We can't go wrong."
En looked around, obviously the scenery around him was very familiar, but now he was a little uncertain.
"There is no wrong way to go this way. It must be that the Starfire Tribe has come up with something new."
The trimming is over, and everyone wants to see what's going on.
When they came to the edge of the Xinghuo Tribe, they were immediately overwhelmed by the sight in front of them.
A thick and high wall was built on the edge of the deep and wide moat! From a distance, it looks as majestic and tall as a mountain.
There was also a watch patrol tower before, but the scale at that time was completely incomparable with the present one, and it was even grander and taller.
The city gate building is taller and larger than the city wall, and it is also more majestic and beautiful. It has a deterrent effect, and there are elite soldiers on it.
They are high above, and they can see people close to the tribe from a distance.
"They built such a terrible wall in such a short time!"
Joe was stunned, this group of people is always coming up with new things.
It hasn't been established last time, how long has it been!
"Oh, leader, what kind of demon is below! It's so ugly and so cruel!" one of the attendants exclaimed.
Everyone looked into the river one after another, and immediately gasped.
It has always had a long mouth, and the monster with a mouth full of hard teeth opened its mouth wide towards them, its eyes were fierce, and it looked very ferocious.
They can imagine that if they fall, the end will definitely not be what they want.
The city gate bridge was slowly lowered, and a Starfire man slowly walked over.
"These are our guards, who specialize in attacking those who want to sneak across the river to do bad things. Their skin is very hard, and their teeth can easily crush a person."
"It's still like this!" Qiao and En were very surprised. Their city also has a small moat, but everyone usually dumps the garbage in there.
So the moat is very smelly. Everyone says that this is to let the stowaways who can swim be suffocated to death in the moat.
Unexpectedly, the Xinghuo Tribe raised fierce beasts in it! This method is really good.
These ferocious beasts couldn't climb up at all, and could only wait for the passers-by with their eyes, as if waiting for an opportunity to jump up and bite everyone to pieces.
And when they saw Yang Yi, their eyes were completely attracted by him, and they couldn't move their eyes away.
What is he wearing!
