Qiao took a bag of black stones and walked through the tribe's residential area, greeting the tribe members on the road while walking towards Chenbei's yard.

Because I come into contact with different people every day, buckwheat is growing rapidly.

In Chenbei's words, she is rapidly growing into a qualified shopkeeper.

It was already dark, and there was light in Chenbei's house, which was the light emitted by the fish oil lamp.

"Dongdongdongdong..."

According to Chenbei's rules, Qiao knocked on the door first and only then could he get permission.

"Come in!"

Chen Bei's voice came from inside. Qiao pushed open the door of the yard, and after entering, he closed the door again.

As soon as she walked to the door, she smelled a scent, which was the scent of meat.

In the room, Chenbei was frying pork into strips of pork made of refractory materials.

The pork made a "sizzling" sound on the stone pot, and Chenbei sprinkled some spices on it, and the whole room was filled with meat.

Chen Bei glanced at it and found that it was buckwheat, so he smiled and said, "The trading area has closed? You are a coincidence. I just wanted to roast some meat and eat it, and you are here."

Qiao said with a smile: "Everyone said that the things made by the leader are delicious, so I came over with the fragrance."

Chenbeidao: "Sit for a while, it'll be fine soon."

Qiao was not afraid of being angry either. She sat on the stool, placed the bag on the table, supported her chin with both hands, and watched Chen Bei busy in front of the stove.

I don’t know when, Qiao began to admire the leader very much. After being taught by the leader step by step in the trading area, this worship became even more fanatical.

Girls can easily transform worship into a hazy feeling, not just buckwheat, but many girls in the tribe do this.

Girls in the tribe don’t care about reserve. Many girls want to express their feelings to Chenbei, and even want to get into his bed.

Then, all of these people were beaten by Honghua!

Honghua has a high status in the Mang tribe, and her brother has a high status in the tribe. After being beaten a few times, these girls became honest because they could not beat Honghua and their status could not be compared.

Therefore, Qiao could only keep this hazy feeling in his heart and did not say it out.

It is already a very happy thing to be able to watch Chen Bei quietly and have a meal with him.

Soon, Chenbei baked the meat, served it in a pottery basin, and then served it on the table.

"Okay, wash your hands first, then take the bowl and chopsticks, and you can eat it."

Chenbei loves cleanliness very much. Everyone in the tribe knows that he has many strange rules and allows the entire tribe to abide by them.

For example, washing your hands before eating is actually not easy to accept for tribes who are not very particular about it.

Later, as long as Chen Bei saw it once, they were punished for not being allowed to eat. After being hungry a few times, everyone became honest.

Qiao obediently went to wash his hands, then took the dishes and chopsticks by himself. Without being polite, he picked up the meat and started eating.

Chenbei sprinkled some spices and a small amount of chili powder on the barbecue, which tasted a bit like the barbecue in his previous life.

"It's delicious, the leader's roasted meat is so delicious!"

While talking vaguely, Qiao ate meat in big mouthfuls without paying attention to the idea of ​​image.

Chenbei also ate a few pieces, but he also had chili peppers, which made it even more enjoyable.

Then, Chen Bei noticed the animal skin bag on the table, and he asked casually: "What is this?"

Qiao swallowed a piece of meat and said, "This is a gift given to us by a small tribe called the Bamboo Rat Tribe after trading. I heard it is a stone that can be used to burn fire. They call it charcoal. I have never seen it before, so I took it to the leader to see it."

"A stone that can burn fire?"

Chen Bei took the bag in confusion, then opened the bag's mouth and poured out a pitch-black stone from it.

The moment he saw this stone, Chen Bei's eyes widened, his face full of incredible expressions.

"This...is this..."

Chen Bei's performance made Qiao very strange, because Chen Bei rarely showed such an expression.

"Chief, can this thing really be used to burn fire?"

Chen Bei suppressed his excitement and said, "You'll know if you try it."

He couldn't wait to take out a black stone, not caring that his hands had just been dyed black.

He threw the black stone into the burning stove and watched nervously.

After eating the meat in the bowl, buckwheat also came over and observed the changes in the black stone in the flames.

"Huh? Why did this stone burn red so quickly?"

Soon, buckus realized something was wrong.

If ordinary stones want to burn red, they will take at least one or two hours in the fire.

But after just a while, the surface of this black stone turned red quickly, and there were sparks flashing.

Not long after, the entire black stone burned red, no different from the burned red charcoal.

Because Chen Bei was too excited, he took out the red-burned "stone" with his bare hands and placed it on the ground.

Even if the "stone" is on the ground, it still burns. The flames are not red, but light blue, and emit an unpleasant smell.

"Yes, it's it, it's it, coal!"

Chen Bei was so excited that his face turned red. He rarely had such a loss of composure.

It was really this time that things brought him so much surprise.

This is coal! It is very useful for coal!

Chenbei was originally worried that the weather would be getting worse and worse, and winter would be very long in the future.

If you rely solely on firewood to keep warm, based on the population base of the Mang tribe, it will take no years to cut down all nearby trees!

This is definitely not the result Chen Bei wants to see.

And now, the emergence of coal has solved this big problem.

The firepower of coal is stronger than that of firewood, and its combustion time and stability are much greater than that of firewood, and its effect is much greater than that of firewood.

Coal can not only be used to cook fire or keep warm, but it can do too many things.

For example, the pottery of the Mang tribe became stronger and stronger, but due to backward technology, the firewood burned not high enough that it was difficult to make porcelain.

With coal, it’s different, and firing porcelain is no longer an unachievable thing.

If you dare to think about it, if you find natural metals in the future, you can also use coal for smelting, and the success rate will be greatly improved!

Seeing that Chen Bei was so excited that she suddenly realized that this might be a rare treasure.

Qiao asked uncertainly: "Chief, is this thing important to us?"

Chen Bei turned around and said, "It's important, of course it's important. With it, our tribe will be easier to survive the cold winter than other tribes!"

"What kind of bamboo rat tribe are you talking about? Come and ask them, how much is this kind of thing? We can trade them with them with salt, pottery, and animal leather jackets."

"It really doesn't work. Even if you grab it, you have to grab it!"

Qiao was stunned. She guessed that this thing might be very important just now, but she didn't expect it to be so important.

"They...after they traded, they went back. I don't know that this thing is so important, otherwise they would definitely keep them."

Qiao was a little regretful because he didn't know him and missed the opportunity.

Chenbeidao: "Go to the city gate immediately and look for the totem patterns of the bamboo rat tribe, and then let someone ride the red crane to search with the totem patterns. You must find them!"

"Yes, I'll go right now!"

Qiao realized the seriousness of the problem, so she didn't dare to delay any more, and immediately hurried out to the city gate. There, every tribe that was coming and going would leave a totem pattern and simple information.
Chapter completed!
