Chapter 556: Sugar and pottery

? Da Yan stood in the sugar hall and glanced.
Rows of small open wooden jars are neatly arranged on the stone platform on the outermost side of the sugar hall, filled with amber viscous honey, and bees fly in from time to time, lingering around the wooden jars.
On the other side of the stone platform, there are various tree syrups and pieces of sweet gum.
These great inflammations had been seen before, he was not uncommon, and he passed by with just a glance.
Looking inside, he found that there were many wooden square baskets on the stone shelves by the wall, with linen bags filled with fine particles as white as snow.
Da Yan's eyes lit up: "Is this salt? What a clean fine salt, it's a bit cleaner than the salt of the Jiugong tribe!"
Owner: "This is not salt, this is white sugar."
Da Yan didn't believe it, he took a few steps forward with a rough hand and grabbed a pinch of white sugar, put it in his mouth and smashed it, curiously saying: "It's really sweet! How did you make such sugar?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This is invented by our Master Xi Wu a few days ago. As for how to make it... Ordinary people like us really don't know."
These days, Da Yan had a psychological shadow on the four words "Master Xi Wu". When he heard this, he looked unnatural, and immediately turned his attention to other products.
He saw many pieces of dark red objects in the wooden basket on the other row of stone shelves, and rudely took one directly and threw it into his mouth.
"So sweet!"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This is a piece of brown sugar, also invented by Master Xi Wu."
Da Yan suddenly stiffened when he heard these four words. He took a breath and looked at the maltose stuck in the crack of the wood.
Owner: "My lord has good eyesight, this is also Xi..."
"Wait!" Da Yan responded with a quick response, "Don't tell me I know!"
He covered his forehead in pain.
On the other side, Red Desert paused in front of a stone jar, reached out and twisted a piece of translucent rock candy inside, stared at it for a long time, and finally put it in his mouth.
"Captain, this is sugar too!"
A color of surprise flashed in Shaku's eyes, and he took a rock candy and put it in his mouth: "How does this sugar look like transparent ore? Where did they find a sugar mine?"
Hong Mo wondered: "I have heard of salt mines, but will there be sugar mines?"
The shopkeeper came over and smiled and said, "This is not natural, this is also our Xi..."
"do not talk!"
"shut up!"
"To shut up!"
The trio's complexion changed slightly and shouted in unison.
The owner stopped talking and said nothing. These three people from the super tribe couldn't provoke Xicheng as a whole, and he did not dare to say that he would cause trouble for Xicheng.
In fact, the owner of the shop has performed quite well. People from ordinary tribes are all trembling when they see the warriors of Xuyang, for fear of offending others, how can they be neither humble nor arrogant like him.
It's not that the shopkeeper himself is of high quality, but Xicheng has cultivated his self-confidence-the confidence that he can not show timidity in front of the super tribe.
Burning consciously lost his temper, grabbed his hair irritably and went out.
Hong Mo looked at Da Yan: "Let's go!"
Da Yan: "Wait first."
He said to the shopkeeper: "Except for the honey and tree syrup on the outside, I want all the sugar here!"
Before the shopkeeper could answer, Hong Mo looked at Da Yan strangely: "You don't like sweets. Why do you buy so much sugar?"
A light of kindness flashed in Da Yan's eyes, and explained: "I bought it for the children, and my little granddaughter, Jinbao, loves sugar. Give her a taste."
Although Da Yan looks young and mature, he is actually over 50 years old. It’s not that he deliberately maintains it. It’s just that he often takes a variety of exotic flowers and plants. Some exotic plants have anti-aging effects. So it looks young.
Da Yan has more than a dozen children. The eldest grandson is about the same age as Ye Xi, and the youngest granddaughter is just over four years old. She is very cute and Da Yan loves her very much.
There are also a lot of children in Hongmo, but he has no plans to bring them sugar. He looked at Da Yan a little speechlessly and said, "You can bring sugar, but we have to stay here for so long. You buy it so early. What are you doing? Are you afraid that the sugar will go bad?"
Da Yan: "..."
"Yes too."
He reluctantly glanced at the sugar in the sugar hall and left here with Hong Mo.
The three of them walked on the neat slate floor and passed several shops selling fur and animal skins. They were not interested in staying at all. As they walked, their scorching footsteps suddenly stopped. They stared at the side in a daze, and their eyes revealed. Out of unbelievable bright light.
Da Yan and Hong Mo followed his line of sight and immediately understood the reason.
It was a shop selling pottery. There were many pottery on the shelves, white pottery vases with two ears inserted with flowers, colored pottery kettles painted with colorful patterns, hollow pottery balls, and exquisite bowls inlaid with various colors. Gems with handle...
In addition to their enthusiasm for strengthening their strength, their captain is also a crazy pottery collector. Every time he goes to the Jiugong Trading Area, he has to buy a lot of pottery at a high price, and his home is almost full of pottery.
The pottery of Xicheng was even more delicate than the pottery of Jiugong tribe.
The pottery of Jiugong is slightly rough, brown, and has obvious graininess to the touch, but the pottery of Xicheng is milky white, it looks very delicate, and the shape is very round and smooth.
Burning is not only shocked by so many such exquisite pottery, the whole person is stunned, and it took a few seconds before he rushed up like a tiger. The swift look shocked the shopkeeper.
"Too perfect, too perfect!"
Zhuo picked up a vase with emerald green gems, stroked its round bottle, and muttered constantly.
The Jiugong tribe already has the highest pottery-making technology in the primitive society, but the pottery they produce is pinched by hand. No matter how careful you pinch it, it is impossible to make a perfect shape like Xicheng's pottery made with a turntable.
Zhuo put down the vase and picked up the clay pot again, her eyes burning as if it were going to fire.
After touching all the pottery in the pottery hall, Zhuo took a deep breath, turned his head and said to the shopkeeper majesticly: "I want all the pottery here!"
The owner was taken aback.
But he knew that the man in front of him belonged to the Xuyang tribe, and his wealth was normal.
The owner of Zhu Jian did not speak, and impatiently untied his animal skin bag and threw it in his arms: "Look, is there enough beast core in it?"
The shopkeeper was awakened. After opening the animal skin bag, he was dizzy when he saw so many large beast cores, but he was steady. He took a barbarian beast core, eight pure blood beast cores, and seven hybrid beasts. After the nuclear, the bag was returned to Zhuo.
Looking at him incredulously: "Just take it?"
The eyeballs of Da Yan and Hong Mo on both sides are also out of frame.
Pottery is undoubtedly a luxury in primitive society, let alone such exquisite and delicate pottery, it is absolutely sky-high! But the shopkeeper actually took such beast cores?
The shopkeeper smiled honestly, took out six light red egg-shaped gems in his animal skin bag and handed it to Zhuo.
"We have to find you six red egg stones!"
Red egg stone is a popular trading currency in Xicheng~EbookFREE.me~ Ten red egg stones are equal to one hybrid animal core.
Shao looked at the red egg stone handed to her in silence, her burly body trembling slightly.
Instead of picking up those pieces of red egg stones, he took out two king-breed beast cores from his own animal skin bag and forced them into the shopkeeper's hands: "Take it!"
Zhuo Shi couldn't accept that the pottery that was so perfect to his heart was so cheap.
What he didn't know was that because the dozens of mountains next to Xicheng were all kaolinite clay, the cost of making pottery was very low. Moreover, many potters have mastered the methods of making pottery, and can easily make pottery, which is much easier than making stoneware.
Although stone tools are rough, they have to be chiseled with great effort and must be finely polished, and they are strong and durable.
Many people in Xicheng feel that exquisite pottery is not as good as stoneware, and they would rather buy stoneware than pottery. Therefore, Xicheng has a feature that all tribes do not have, that is, pottery is not much more expensive than stoneware.
