Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 366: The economy of the tauren

"Where have you been, why didn't I find you just now when I came to see you?" Only a few minutes after Lawrence and Nora resolved all the problems and returned to the main plane, the bull head who took them to the ruins before The human hunter turned around from behind the bush and asked nervously. "I'm thinking, if I can't find you anymore, I will go back to the tribe and find someone to look for you. Fortunately, you are back now."

"We just discovered something important here." Nara floated up and explained. "So we performed some magic in this place just now. I think this should be why you didn't find the two of us before. Because that magic has a function to hide our body."

"Oh, you're fine." The tauren hunter looked up and down Lawrence and they gave a long sigh of relief after finding that they did not have any injuries, and then said. "After all, you are now our most important guests here. If you are injured, it would appear that we are really rude."

"I'm really sorry for worrying you." Lawrence said sincerely. He really didn't expect that it would take so long to plant the seeds of the World Tree, so that the tauren hunter waited too long. Worried, even ran in to look for them against the previous agreement, but fortunately they returned in time.

However, this incident also sounded a wake-up call for them, making Lawrence and Nora realize that it is better to find some suitable excuses when encountering the same incident in the future, so as not to be seen by others. Especially when he and Nora have an astral plane that is known to be a huge trouble by others, they need to be more cautious.

Because they spent five or six hours before, now the sun has begun to set to the west. So Lawrence and the Tauren hunter began to return to the Tauren tribe. On the way, Nora kept holding the tea leaves she had collected before, as if she was studying something.

"I think the tribe must have prepared a big meal for you at this time." When he walked to see the smoke from the tribe, the tauren hunter also showed a smile on his face. "It would be great if you have roasted whole beef, and roasted whole lamb. The last time I ate these large pieces of meat was during the harvest festival."

When a tauren said that he likes to eat beef, it always seemed a bit strange. On the way, they found that these tauren people raise a lot of cattle, but the tauren hunter said that they didn’t eat very much. Beef and mutton. In other words, eating beef and mutton can be regarded as a very extravagant thing for them, which makes people feel a little puzzled.

"I think you obviously raise a lot of cows!" When Lawrence was still there hesitating how to ask questions, the outspoken little puppet Nara asked directly. "The number of these cattle and sheep is not small on average compared to yours. Don't you usually eat so many cattle?"

"Yes, you are right. Our tribe does raise a lot of cattle and sheep." The tauren hunter who walked in front said, "But this little lady, I think you didn’t know much about animals before. Let’s work on breeding. In fact, although those cows and sheep seem to be many, for us, they mainly provide us with some dairy products and wool."

"Our staple food is actually the cassava, which is accompanied by the prey from the forest, the fruit collected, the fish in the river and the dairy products made from the milk produced by the animals. It can only be eaten during the festival. In the herd, look for the bulls, rams and older cows and ewes to eat meat.” The tauren babbled. "Thanks to the recent resumption of trade with your humans, we were able to obtain some rice and condiments."

Having said that, the tauren hunter showed a memorable expression on his mouth. "The spices and clean salt I bought from you are really delicious, at least better than some of the leaves with special flavors I picked from the forest before and the black salt I found in a valley. More importantly, after replacing the black salt with your refined salt, my body no longer shed hair, and the skin itching that I had been on before also disappeared."

"This is the reason why we think you are a distinguished guest from our tribe." The tauren hunter finally concluded, "Because of your existence, we can improve the overall standard of living in such a short time. The stairs. So this time we will definitely prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain you."

"Ah, this is mainly because of your own efforts. Our deal only gives you a chance." Lawrence scratched his head with embarrassment. "If you think that your current life is getting better as a result of trading with us, then you are turning the cart before the horse."

At this time, he also realized that the tauren's physique was indeed powerful. Not to mention, it can be seen from a visual point of view that they are as tall as the jackals, but are wider than the slender jackals. The fact that they had been able to eat that black salt before was enough to amaze Lawrence.

Because that kind of black salt is a part of underground mineral salt that solidifies on the ground after being melted by water and breaks through the ground. In addition to the usual edible salt, there are a lot of ingredients harmful to the human body. But these tauren people can do simple treatment and only feel hair loss and itchy skin after eating. This kind of anti-toxic ability is much stronger than humans.

Thinking about these issues, they returned to the previous tribe together. At this time, the tribe is busy preparing for a bonfire dinner. A fat cow roasted into golden glory has just been dug out from a soil pit and placed on a wooden board and carried it onto a large rock used as a dining table. The very strong aunt Tauren was taking off the banana leaves that had just covered the roasted beef.

There was a huge hot pothole on the ground. Lawrence walked to the side of the pothole curiously and lowered his head, and then saw a dense layer of roasted black stones placed in the pothole. At the same time, a scent full of grease was rising from the bottom of the pit.

"It turned out to be stone cooking." Looking at this big hole, Lawrence immediately understood the cooking methods of the tauren people. I have to admit that this method of grilling with hot stones is indeed very suitable for roasting a huge food such as whole beef.

"I have roasted whole beef tonight, which is really great-oh~lightnovelpub.net~ You are back. Salute to you, Lord Earl." At this time, the team doctor beat his shoulder and left. come. But because of the tauren's obstruction, he didn't find Lawrence until he got to the side of the pit and then quickly saluted him.

"This is not a real occasion, relax." Lawrence waved his hand to signal the doctor to exempt him, and then asked. "How did you feel after the free clinic?"

"Their medical level is really terrible." The doctor said bluntly. "Many diseases have now mastered better treatment methods, but the witch doctors here don't know at all. So many diseases that should have been easily cured will have serious consequences here."

"The only thing to be happy about is that the shamans and witch doctors of the tauren do not reject medical knowledge from the outside world. They are even very interested in our medical knowledge. For example, I just prescribed insecticide to many tauren and discharged a lot of After the parasites were piled up, these witch doctors and shamans said they would order a batch of insecticide from us."

"In addition, they also have the intention to order alcohol and some other medicines. But I persuaded them." The doctor shrugged. "I told them that there is still a little difference between your tauren and us humans. So you try to use some of these medicines first, and you won't be too late to order them when you are sure that they work."
