Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 278 Grinning

Ru introduced enthusiastically.

"Look at this. This is called a straw raincoat, and this is a straw hat. They come as a set, but you can also wear them separately. They're worn on the body and head to keep out the rain on rainy days!"

Not only is it dry inside, but the surface is also incredibly slippery. Raindrops can easily fall off with just a slight movement, leaving no water droplets behind!

If you don’t believe me, take a look.”

As she spoke, Yin next to her poured a cup of water onto the raincoat, but the water slid onto the ground without even shaking it, leaving no trace on the raincoat.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw it.

"Hey, this thing is pretty good! In the past, when it rained, we either had to brave the rain and walk, or just stay in the cave and don't come out. One would make us sick, and the other would waste time."

"Even if you're not going out, even if you're just staying in the tribe, it's inconvenient when it rains. This is a good use!"

"It's a bit inconvenient to wear this straw raincoat, but our tribe needs dozens of these straw hats."

"What's the price?"

"If you're exchanging as a set, it's ten pounds of meat per set. If you're exchanging separately, a straw raincoat is eight pounds of meat per set, and a straw hat is four pounds of meat per set."

Everyone had an idea in their mind.

I've always known that things at Tianlang are expensive, so I was prepared. After all, this straw raincoat and hat look like they'll last a long time, not to mention they're daily necessities. It'll need replacing, no matter what.

In the past, we didn't have the conditions, after all, no one knew how to do it. Now that we have the means to do it, we naturally have to work hard to hunt and improve the lives of our people.

A tall and skinny boy in the crowd asked with a smile while holding a lantern.

"What's this thing for? It's hollow inside, and the outside has all different shapes and colors. It's light and fluffy."

"This is called a lantern. Fix the light to this socket. You can hang it up, or tie a stick to it and hold it by hand. It's used for lighting."

The boy's eyes lit up. "That sounds great! The oil lamp can certainly illuminate the cave, but outside, it will go out with a gust of wind or a flicker. If you want to go out at night, you'll still have to grope in the dark."

"Not to mention going out at night in the tribe, you can even use it when walking at night! Just hold it in your hand."

"With this light, fluffy layer covering it, it blocks the wind and keeps the flames from going out."

"What is the exchange method for this lantern?"

"Two pounds of meat for one. The core inside can be replaced, so it can be used for a long time."

Compared to other things, this is considered cheap and they are relatively easy to accept.

"What about this one? It's small, but it has such densely packed racks."

"This is called a comb, it's used to style hair. We Tianlangs use it to comb our hair.

You can try it.”

A female with dense, dry and tangled hair picked up the comb and put it on her head, only to find that the teeth of the comb fit perfectly into her hair.

Her face lit up with delight. So that's how it works! She combed it vigorously, and the result was...

“Hiss—Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts so much.”

A chilling scream was heard immediately.

The female in front of me was grimacing in pain because her hair had not been taken care of for a long time and was tangled together, but she didn't stop her hands and continued to comb her hair vigorously.

The hair on the top of the head was slowly combed out, but the hair that was shaved off could not be combed out.

Sang Tian felt a headache just looking at it.

"How do I change this comb?"

"Combs are quite expensive, and making just these teeth takes a lot of effort. The elders in the tribe work hard to sharpen them bit by bit every day.

This comb is made of wood. As long as it's broken, it can be used by generations. And one comb is enough for each family. It costs about ten pounds of meat.

"hiss……"

Everyone looked troubled.

Sure enough, they thought it was quite expensive.

After all, the crutch that Sang Tian had exchanged from Xia before was only made of ten pounds of flesh, but the crutch was finely crafted, large in size, and inlaid with gems, agates and the like.

From this perspective, the price of Tianlang's comb is a bit too expensive.

But Sang Tian has his own plans.

They had never thought of the style of this comb. Now, after seeing the style of Tianlang's comb, they knew everything. They just needed to spend time polishing it.

It's impossible for everyone in a tribe to get one, so those who don't have one will naturally grind it themselves. By the autumn trade fair, every stall will have this comb.

Therefore, Sang Tian only planned to exchange the comb for this Spring Festival fair. She wouldn't exchange it for the next one. After all, sharpening this thing did take a lot of effort.

Take this opportunity to earn more.

Many people smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

The female, who was still combing her hair and grimacing in pain, shouted, "I want one, the one I have in my hand."

A male with a scar on his chin next to her brought over ten kilograms of meat.

Sang Tian reminded in a serious tone: "It will be easier to comb your hair if it's wet. You can go to the river and try it."

When the female heard this, she got anxious and said carelessly, "Oh my! Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go, let's go to the river and try..."

Then he went to the river as if he had greased his feet.
