Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 283 A rising tide lifts all boats

Early the next morning.

The Sirius people got up early to pack up.

In a clay pot, a mushroom, shrimp, and lean pork soup sprinkled with chopped cilantro was bubbling away. Pumpkin and yam pancakes were fried to a golden brown on both sides, sizzling with oil. The fresh aroma filled the air of the entire Tianlang tribe.

Each bite reveals plump, sweet shrimp, slippery mushroom slices, and tender lean meat, all tinged with the delicate aroma of yam. The pumpkin and yam pancake is golden, crispy, and glossy. The inside is truly tender, soft, and sweet.

Sang Tian couldn't help but eat two more pieces.

By the time it took to have breakfast, a lot of people had gathered in front of the Tianlang stall.

Basically, everyone comes here for the seasoning powder.

Sang Tian had no choice but to quickly arrange several categories of seasonings on the table. There were braised dishes, stir-fried dishes, stews, grilled dishes, fried dishes, cold dishes, and steamed dishes...

The crowd also began to stir.

"This is the seasoning powder! Can you smell it? Even through the hide, I can smell a strong spicy aroma."

"I smelled it too, and it was a bit choking."

"With such a strong smell, the food must be delicious!"

"Our tribe must definitely exchange more! Now that we have this condition, we absolutely cannot let our people eat that tasteless meat anymore!"

"Exactly. How come I didn't realize before that the meat I grilled was fishy, woody, and had a strong smoky smell! Only after eating Tianlang's food did I know what human food is!"

"It turns out there's no harm without comparison!"

"Don't be too happy! You want to exchange more? Tianlang's things are always expensive, not to mention this seasoning powder is unique to Tianlang! The price must be extraordinary! How much food do you have in hand to exchange for their seasoning?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the bright lights on everyone's faces dimmed.

Yes, Tianlang’s things are extremely expensive.

How much meat can my tribe exchange for seasoning powder?

One snowy season almost destroyed the tribe's vitality, so they took advantage of the trade fair to exchange more animal meat for the tribe members to recuperate.

If we exchange a large amount of animal meat for seasoning powder, the tribesmen will have to endure hardship for a while...

A timid little female took the lead and asked in a mosquito-like voice, "How do I change the seasoning powder?"

The crowd suddenly fell silent, waiting for Tianlang to tell them the price of the seasoning powder.

The pricing of this seasoning powder puzzled Sang Tian.

In fact, this seasoning powder can be exchanged for one kilogram of meat even if you have 20 kilograms of meat.

After all, this thing is only available at Tianlang, and it can't be found anywhere else. No matter how expensive it is, they can only exchange it at Tianlang if they want it.

But Sang Tian had to be more humane and consider the low productivity of the primitive tribe. How could they possibly come up with so much meat to exchange for seasoning powder?

The price cannot be too low, but it cannot be too high either.

Otherwise it will only backfire on itself.

If the price is ridiculously high, they simply won't be able to afford the expensive seasoning powder. Will they complain to Tianlang?

What's more, there is one thing Sang Tian must consider.

This trading place is a place where coastal tribes unite. The seasoning powder they sell is a condiment like salt. Salt is a necessity for the body, but seasoning powder is not.

Since what I sell is also a condiment, it doesn’t matter if the price is higher than that of salt and others are unwilling to switch.

Provoking conflicts with coastal tribes would be more costly than beneficial.

Tianlang set the price at the same level as salt, one pound of seasoning powder for ten pounds of meat.

When everyone found out, there was an uproar.

This price was less than they had expected. They hadn't expected the people at Tianlang to be so principled. It was an acceptable price.

But... they have their own considerations.

Just changing the salt alone has left many tribes struggling to make ends meet. What will happen if the seasoning powder is also changed?

What's more, salt is a necessity, but seasoning powder is not.

They would rather eat tasteless barbecue than go hungry.

Some smaller tribes have given up the idea of exchanging seasoning powder, but have secretly made up their minds to hunt well in the next six months so that they can afford to exchange seasoning powder at the spring trade fair next year.

As for some medium-sized tribes, they can still afford it, but they just can't exchange too much.

Large tribes have already begun preparing the meat.

Lan's cheerful voice spread out.

"For any tribe that exchanges more than 50 kilograms of seasoning powder, we, Tianlang, will give you a large clay pot and send our tribesmen to teach you how to use the seasoning in cooking, free of charge!"

The clear words reached everyone's ears.

Since the end of the autumn trade fair last year, they returned and followed the example of the Sirius tribe, finding grooved stones, cutting the meat and throwing it in to stir-fry.

But the effect is very unsatisfactory.

I don’t know why, even though it’s the same method, Tianlang’s dish is so delicious, while the ones they copied are burnt into a black mass or not cooked at all.

What's more, they don't know the dosage of the seasoning powder. It's easy to use if you use a little, but it would be a waste if you use too much.

The people from Tianlang came to teach them how to cook, which was a great blessing for them.

Because of this, many tribes gritted their teeth and increased the amount of seasoning powder they were planning to replace to 50 kilograms or more.

As a result, there was a constant stream of people coming to the Tianlang stall.

The Tianlang people were also very busy.

Many females were sent out to learn how to cook, leaving the males to carefully look after the business at the stalls.

Although I am busy, I feel extremely fulfilled and happy inside!

As these things were sold, Tianlang's income was piling up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This is nothing. The most important thing is that Sirius’ status and prestige are also rising.

Nothing could make the tribe happier than this.
