I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 674, Each With Their Own Thoughts

Kuang and the others left after exchanging for the perfume, with two bottles of perfume packed in a wooden box.

Those two wooden boxes were simple containers, filled with lots of soft dry grass inside.

This was to prevent the perfume from breaking due to collisions, after all, one bottle cost five bags of dried meat.

They had exchanged for two different scented perfumes: one was rose-scented and one was lily-scented.

Both of these flowers were cultivated in large quantities in the greenhouses, so these two types of perfume were the most abundant.

However, these two types of flowers had not been transplanted outside for cultivation. They continued to only be grown in the greenhouses.

This was also to prevent people from other Tribes from obtaining these flowers, as the farmland was all located near the Tribe’s main gate.

As soon as they entered the Flame Dragon Tribe, they could see these fresh flowers at the main gate, and they might very well have crooked thoughts about stealing them.

Once stolen and successfully grown elsewhere, it would mean they too would possess roses and lilies.

Su Bai had only just begun his farming plan, and temporarily could not allow other Tribes to possess these things.

Only things that existed solely on Earth were what distinguished the Flame Dragon Tribe from other Tribes.

“Even when packed in boxes, I can still smell how fragrant they are.” Lan deeply sniffed with her nose.

The faint fragrance was just too captivating.  She began secretly thinking to herself that she must save up dried meat to exchange for a bottle of perfume to take back for herself.

After all, all the goods exchanged when coming out belonged entirely to the Chieftain and the Shaman. If she wanted some, she could only save up dried meat herself.

As Totem Warriors, they would be allocated a fixed amount of dried meat daily. It just depended on each person’s appetite, and how much they could save. Some people who ate more might have nothing left over, while those who ate less would have quite a bit remaining.

However, most of the leftover dried meat was saved to get through the rainy season and snow season. Very few people would use it for trading.

“It really smells wonderful. I wonder what it would feel like if sprayed on the body.” Li added.

No girl could resist the temptation of perfume, and she too began calculating in her heart about saving up dried meat to trade for a bottle.

“It is quite good indeed, but in comparison, I prefer the feeling of working up a sweat.” Luo patted his big belly.

‘work up a sweat by eating too much’, Luo meant. Although perfume was great, compared to food and wine, the latter was definitely better.

His eyes were now constantly looking at the wine shop, and his heart was similarly thinking about coming to trade for wine in the future.

“I’m more neutral about it. If I could have some that would naturally be best, but if not, there’s no helping it.” Kai waved his hand and continue.: “What I want most right now is wine. I wonder how much dried meat would be needed to exchange for the wine here?”

He was now conflicted. On one hand, he wanted a ceramic piece, and on the other hand, he also wanted wine.

If the two were cheap, he would probably want both, though it seemed rather unlikely.

When they went to exchange for ceramics previously, they had used Sweet Grain, which was a prized item of the Giant Bear Tribe.

Now that the Flame Dragon Tribe had obtained Sweet Grain, who knew what would be needed to trade for ceramics the next time?

However, thinking it over again, this was their Central Market, so ceramics would certainly also be displayed for people to trade.

After going to look at the wine shop, he would then go look at the ceramics.

*Step step step…*

Everyone stepped forward to the wine shop. Just like before, as soon as they reached the entrance, they smelled the rich aroma of wine.

That scent was somewhat different from the perfume’s fragrance. This was a scent that stimulated one’s appetite. Unlike perfume’s scent, that lifted one’s spirits when smelled, both types of fragrance were excellent in their own way.

“How much is the wine here?” Kuang asked straight to the point.

He did not want to waste any more time. When they had first entered, looking around, the Central Market’s corridor was very long, suggesting there were many shops.

“We have several types of wines. Which type would you like?” The shop manager asked.

There were four types: wheat wine, grape wine, corn wine, and Sour Fruit wine.

“We’d all like to trade for some to take back. Let’s exchange for one barrel of each type.” Kuang said.

“We have four types here, requiring five bags to three bags of dried meat depending on what you seek.” the shop manager introduced.

Su Bai had initially thought that the wine’s value could not be set too high, as it would need to be promoted extensively.

If the value was set too high, no one would be willing to get it, or very few people would get it.

Wine was different from perfume. Perfume might last for a period of time before running out, but wine could very well be finished in a single day.

Thus, it could not be priced too high. Such quickly-consumed goods definitely needed to be priced somewhat lower.

“Looking at it this way, it requires even less dried meat than perfume. In that case, give us two barrels of each type.” Kuang said generously.

He had initially thought the cost would be very high, with what they had heard outside the Tribe. It required twenty bags of dried meat for one barrel. This price had really shocked them. So, upon hearing that only a few bags of dried meat were needed for a single barrel, they could not be happier.

The current price meant they were saving quite a lot of dried meat, so they were more than willing to trade for more.

“Alright, we’ll prepare two barrels of each type for you, but we also need to check the quality of the dried meat.” The shop manager said cautiously.

Trading out so much wine and getting back so much dried meat in return, they definitely needed to inspect it. Who knew if some spoiled dried meat might be placed at the bottom?

“No problem, inspect as much as you like. Just make sure to pack up our wine well so it doesn’t spill out.” Kuang instructed.

He was now a bit worried about how he was going to transport it all back. What if they accidentally dropped and broke something along the way?

“Don’t worry, there definitely won’t be any problems. You just need to be careful when carrying it back.” The shop manager advised in return.

“Besides wine and perfume, what other things do you have that are worth trading?” Kuang asked.

He wanted to directly pick the highlights to trade for. This would save quite a lot of their time, and asking the Flame Dragon Tribe people would yield more accurate answers.

“We have many things that are all worth trading for. You’ll have to go look for yourselves.” The shop manager maintained an air of mystery.

Anyway, in his view, all these items that the Shaman had created were worth trading for.

Moreover, he had also received a promise at the time that if he did well, he could also obtain the corresponding goods.

“I understand.” Kuang replied quietly.

It seemed they would have to find a place to rest outside the Flame Dragon Tribe tonight. Originally, they had wanted to set off immediately and return home.
