Chapter 170: The Wing Tribe Comes to Trade
Chapter 170: The Wing Tribe Comes to Trade
When Chen Shiyue and Yiyun returned home, they saw two young boys, Di Bo and Chi Qiu, working together to make wooden wheels. There were many boards and discarded wheels on the ground.
Seeing the two people coming back, Chiqiu shouted happily: "City Lord, Sister Shiyue, you are back, come and see if we are making the wheel in the right way."
Chen Shiyue squatted down to take a look. The wheel hub was not small, with the center hole estimated to be about 20 centimeters in diameter. The circle of wheel eyes was made quite delicately, and most of the thick wooden strips that served as spokes had been installed.
Chen Shiyue nodded: "Yes, that's right." The two teenagers had a high ability to comprehend, so she just wrote, drew and talked on the ground based on her own understanding. Although a lot of wood was wasted, it helped the two teenagers figure out some tricks.
Yiyun watched the two boys install the spokes for a while, then squatted aside to look at the painting Chen Shiyue had drawn on the ground, and called out, "Yueyue, come here."
Chen Shiyue hurried over. By the way, Yiyun wanted to tell her in detail about the wooden cart.
Yiyun pointed at the painting on the ground and said, "This wooden cart only has two rotating wooden wheels. It needs an orc to pull it. It can carry a small amount of things, but not a lot. If we add two wheels, two wheels in the front and two wheels in the back, and make the wooden frame bigger, can we carry more things?"
As he spoke, he took a branch and, based on his own understanding, drew four wheels on the ground and a square wooden box on the wheels.
The painting was a bit abstract, but Chen Shiyue understood it. She was surprised. Is this still a primitive orc? She just wanted to make a simple hand-pulled wooden cart, but her partner drew a primitive four-wheeled carriage for her.
Chen Shiyue stared at Yiyun, really not understanding how he came up with that idea.
Yiyun felt uneasy when he saw his partner staring at him, and he lowered his voice.
"Yueyue, is my idea wrong?"
Chen Shiyue showed a brilliant smile: "Okay, that's awesome." Then, she explained the relevant knowledge about horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts to Yiyun. The two young men beside her forgot what to do and listened quietly.
After Chen Shiyue finished speaking, the three orcs all looked excited.
Yiyun: "The horse you are talking about is not found in the north, but I have seen it in the south. It is fast and powerful."
Chiqiu: "Sister Shiyue, we don't need the horse you mentioned. Our beast forms are fast and powerful."
Dib: "I am happy to pull this carriage."
Chen Shiyue... Well, before there are any animals that can be controlled, orcs are indeed a good substitute.
Yiyun: "Yueyue, I'm going to the furniture factory to make a carriage with Huo Guang and the others."
Seeing Yiyun's excited back as he left, Chen Shiyue couldn't help but smile. It must be a man's nature to love cars.
However, she was a little worried about the durability of wooden wheels. In an era without metal, how could wooden wheels be reinforced to extend their service life?
Until a better solution is found, the only option left is to use the spare wheel.
Just as Chen Shiyue was watching the two young men doing their work, a beast roar was heard from the outskirts of Yaocheng.
Chiqiu immediately stopped and said, "Sister Shiyue, it was Bai Luo who called out. He is on patrol today."
Chen Shiyue was surprised and asked, "Is it dangerous?"
Di Bo shook his head: "It's not dangerous, it's to notify orcs from other tribes to come over."
Orcs from another tribe? Chen Shiyue immediately became alert. Just as she was about to pull Chiqiu and Di Bo over, she saw Yiyun flying over.
"Yueyue, there should be orcs from other tribes coming to trade."
Yiyun landed on the ground without even folding his wings, and simply lifted his partner into his arms before taking off into the air.
Chiqiu and Dibo looked at each other and decided to go and see. They were the orcs who were responsible for Sister Shiyue's safety. Although Sister Shiyue was now protected by the city lord, what if the city lord needed them for something? The wooden wheel would be made when he came back.
A golden lion and a gray wolf quickly chased after them.
Chen Shiyue was brought to the trading center by Yiyun. Several directors of the trading center were waiting at the door of the tent.
"Shiyue, it seems like some foreign beasts are coming." Li looked eager to try.
Sang Yi smiled and said, "It makes me a little nervous."
Sherman ran to the dining area: "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare the food."
Soon, a three-tailed white fox ran in from outside the city, followed by more than twenty flying beasts, including double-winged white tigers and double-winged white foxes. Two of the flying beasts had two young females sitting on their backs.
Sang Yi exclaimed: "It's the orcs from the Wing Tribe."
Yiyun held Chen Shiyue's hand and walked to the front, looking up slightly at the orcs of the Wing Tribe flying low.
Bai Luo said: "Captain Hu, look, our city lord and his wife are waiting for you over there."
The orcs of the Wing Tribe landed on the ground one after another, turned into human forms, put down the females on their bodies, or held the animal skin bags in their hands, looking at Yaocheng in shock.
Hu Ge hid the shock in his eyes and said loudly: "City Lord Yiyun, City Lord's wife, you have developed to this point in just a short period of time. It really surprises me."
Yiyun smiled slightly and said, "Welcome Chief Huge to Yaocheng. There is strength in numbers. It is all thanks to the continuous efforts of the tribesmen that Yaocheng has become what it is today."
Li waved: "Caihua, Caixia, you are here."
The two females who were in a daze heard Li's cry and looked over in surprise.
Caihua: "Are you Li? You've become much prettier, I can't recognize you."
Several females immediately came together and started chatting.
Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "Chief Hu Ge, are you going to take a look outside, or do you want to go directly to our trading center to take a look?"
Hu Ge smiled friendly and said, "Let's go to your trading center first."
So, a group of orcs followed Yiyun and his friends into the trading center, and their eyes were about to fall out.
Sang Yi introduced the items on the shelves in an orderly manner. Li took the two females to appreciate the various styles of animal skin clothes. Caihua and Caixia were shocked and happy, and they could no longer describe their feelings at the moment.
Yiyun and Chen Shiyue stood aside, both with smiles on their faces.
Hu Ge looked around, walked to Yiyun and said, "City Lord Yiyun, no wonder Deputy City Lord Yinfeng asked us to come to Yaocheng Trading Center by ourselves. If I had come later, I would have regretted it to death."
Yiyun nodded: "Indeed, Chief Huge is not too late. Let your people see for themselves. Let's talk in the office."
What is an office? Hu Ge was confused, but he still followed Yiyun and the others.
Entering a tidy room, Hu Ge looked at the furnishings in the room with a look of amazement and reached out to touch the table and chairs.
"How are these made? Wonderful, so wonderful, how do we trade them?"
Yiyun said, "Leader Huge, please sit down and talk."
Tiger Ge sat down and moved his butt, still surprised.
At this time, Yin and another female came in with wooden plates with several cups of water on them.
The two beautiful females made Hu Ge's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but say, "You females' clothes are really beautiful."
Chen Shiyue motioned for him to drink some water. She raised the newly made ceramic cup and said, "Chief Huge, you must be thirsty after all the hard work. Please drink some water."
Hu Ge picked up a cup of water and asked in surprise, "What is this cup made of? It's very nice. How do I trade it?"
Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "This is called a ceramic cup, it's made of clay. We don't have enough now, so we can't trade for the time being. If the Tiger leader wants to trade, he may have to come back in a few days. By then, in addition to ceramic cups, we will also have ceramic jars, ceramic pots, ceramic bowls and plates, etc."
Hu Ge... He found that he could not understand much of what the city lord's wife said. He was embarrassed to ask everything, so he thought: I'll come again in a few days, it won't be too late to ask when I see something then.
Chen Shiyue took a sip of water and put down the cup: "Chief Hu Ge, are you going to complete the transaction and leave immediately, or do you want to stay in our Yaocheng for a day before leaving?"
Hu Ge was surprised: "Can we stay here?"
Yiyun nodded: "Okay, you only have about twenty orcs, two females. We don't have any patients at the medical clinic recently, so we can let you stay for one night."
Hu Ge's eyes widened: "A medical clinic, is it a place for orcs and females to see a doctor?"
Yiyun: "Yes, when you came in, you should have seen a three-story house not far from the trading center."
Hu Ge was a little embarrassed: "When I came in, my eyes were not able to see clearly, so I didn't look carefully. By the way, there seem to be a lot of houses you mentioned on the grassland across the way."
Yiyun nodded calmly: "Yes, across the street is Beifeng City, which is the Beifeng Tribe, the largest tribe in the north."
Hu Ge jumped up: "What, the Beifeng Tribe is across from you, and now it has become Beifeng City?"
