Chapter 341 Daily Life at the Base (3)
Yi Beiwang exchanged for a portion of donkey-hide gelatin and showed it to the two of them.
Mist was already used to Yi Beiwang's ability to take things out of thin air, but No. 9 was quite surprised and asked, "What is this?"
"Donkey hide gelatin, a very tonic substance."
"Wow, it turns out to be donkey-hide gelatin... What is donkey-hide gelatin?"
"To put it bluntly, it's something cooked with donkey skin."
"Oh...what's a donkey?"
Yi Beiwang: …………
It's really difficult for them. There are not many horses in Mojave, let alone creatures like donkeys.
He was too lazy to explain what a donkey was. He pointed at the donkey-hide gelatin and said, "I have a bold idea. We can let the businessmen cheat the rich people, preferably those who got rich overnight and don't know what to do."
"The key to defrauding them is this glue."
"We can advertise that this thing nourishes yin and strengthens the kidneys, and it is very nutritious if eaten."
"Men can strengthen their virility and kidneys by eating it, women can beautify their skin by eating it, and children can become smart by eating it."
Number Nine got excited after hearing this. This thing was so good, so he might as well stock up some and give it to his wife and children when he found them.
He asked excitedly: "Boss, how much is this? Give me some."
Yi Beiwang was speechless, rolled his eyes and said: "You really believe it, I'm just fooling fools."
"This thing is just a psychological effect. It may be useless in practice. I don't even know what it is used for."
"Besides, there are no donkeys in Mojave, and we can't really use donkey skin to cook this stuff."
Having said that, Yi Beiwang took out another piece of tattered leather.
Mist and No. 9 both knew this thing. It was the most common leather equipment in the wasteland, made of unknown animal skins. Most people wore this kind of armor.
They watched as Yi Beiwang lit the fire and set up the pot, threw the rotten leather in, and boiled it for a long time before some gelatinous substance came out.
Mist said in disbelief: "Boss, are you sure this thing won't kill people?"
Mist has no psychological burden about cheating others. After all, there are not many good people who can survive in the wasteland.
But Mist was mainly worried about one thing: what if someone died from the food and they were held responsible?
Yi Beiwang laughed and said, "Everyone in the wasteland eats cockroaches and mice. Can they die by eating some leather glue?"
"Besides, how much firewood is wasted in cooking this pot? How can we give them all? Don't forget that our purpose is to cheat people."
"A little bit of hide glue, a large amount of edible gel, some vitamins, A, B, C, and D, and some coloring, flavoring, and preservatives, and a portion of Hex gelatin is ready."
"If we're really worried about people dying from it, we can limit the supply. Maybe we can even sell it at a higher price."
"Remember, from now on, the gelatin we sell is made from Deathclaw skin. If anyone dares to say it's made from rotten leather, I'll beat him up."
Speaking of this, Yi Beiwang really exchanged a bunch of Hextech technology, saved it up, and made it into a weird pill, laughing like a Pip-Boy.
Number Nine, Mist: …………
Our mother tongue is speechless.
Mist raised his hand and said, "Boss, your idea is very good, but I have a small problem."
"please say."
"As we all know, the gambling area costs 2,000 bottle caps each time you enter it. The land inside is basically covered with casinos. So how do you plan to fool the fools there? We can't even solve the problem of the venue."
Rumble~
A bolt of thunder streaked across the clear sky.
Yi Beiwang was stunned for a moment and realized this blind spot.
That’s right, I don’t even have the money and venue to complete this plan, so what am I doing apart from this plan?
Another half day of wasted work.
Looking at the strange pill in his hand, Yi Beiwang thought it would be a pity to throw it away, so he simply threw it into his personal space. Who knows, he could use it to cheat others someday.
Seeing that this open source method didn't work, Yi Beiwang took out a map and wanted to see where the caravan had expanded to.
As soon as he saw it, Yi Beiwang saw the problem and pointed to a place above and asked, "This place called Red Rock Canyon is not far from us. Why don't you send people over to establish a trade line?"
After seeing this area, a somewhat unnatural look flashed across Mist's eyes, but he concealed it well.
He explained: "The main reason is that this is the territory of the Great Khan Gang. They are a little difficult to get along with, and they are a little special. Most people will not trade with them."
"You're saying this as if we're just ordinary people. So what kind of gang is the Khan Gang?"
"Um... it's a branch of the Khan Gang. The Khan Gang used to be the largest gang in the Mojave, but it's a pity that it's now in decline. However, their strength should not be underestimated."
"A big gang? I haven't heard of them."
"Let me tell you this. Wasn't Mr. Postman shot in the head? They were the ones who did it in cooperation with the mastermind."
In fact, what Yi Beiwang didn’t know was that the Khan Gang could be called the Wasteland’s cockroaches.
They had fought against the Exiles in California and NCR, but were defeated and made mortal enemies with the NCR.
He was once the boss of Mojave, but was kicked out of the position by a local gang.
He finally managed to live in peace for a while, but his wife and children were massacred by the NCR in Bitter Springs.
Even so, they were not completely killed and were able to shoot the postman in the head with some unknown guy.
NCR originally wanted to join forces with Caesar's Legion to capture the Hoover Dam, but with the help of the Postman, the winner of the second battle for the Hoover Dam was NCR.
After the war, NCR directly settled new and old grudges and defeated the Khan Gang into the Great Khan Gang. They did not exterminate the Great Khan Gang only because they could not spare more manpower.
Thanks to the efforts of NCR and many gangs, the Khans are now so unpopular that even passing marauders can be bullied.
But the idiot Yi Beiwang didn't know this. When he heard that the Khan Gang had such a brilliant record as the headshot postman, he excitedly patted his thigh and said, "Such an awesome gang, I have to see it for myself."
"Bring the Wolf Fang Squad with you. I want to go meet these guys in person."
"Today I want to show you Americans what free trade is all about!"
