The Caveman Made Me Awesome

After eating, Ye Xi took a look at the baby aphids in the stone jars.

Each stone jar is covered with half a jar of fresh green leaves, and the mouths of these aphids are like sickles, gnawing at the leaves. These baby aphids were very smart. They found unfamiliar faces, with black bean eyes, and they stopped chewing on the leaves, so they just stared at Ye Xi.

Ye Xi thought that these aphids were squeamish, so she smiled and waved to them, "How are you?"

The black bean-like eyes were still staring at him, motionless.

Ye Xi was a little embarrassed, he coughed, and imitated the tone of the Eyi people: "Today's babies are very beautiful, it's amazing to eat so many leaves!"

As if pressing the play button, these aphids lowered their heads and continued to nibble on the leaves, clack, clack, clack.

Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief and asked the ebony beside him, "Are the aphids we eat produced by aphids?"

"Yes, the babies are very powerful, they can produce many aphids in a day!"

Ye Xi asked hesitantly: "So, these aphids are their... excrement?" The word excrement was very light. Thinking of the aphids that he had eaten, Ye Xi's face was slightly black.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ebony's face changed, and he rushed to the side of the stone jar. The words are too disgusting, and the babies will be sad!"

Ye Xi: "..."

Ebony: "And aphid condyles are not their feces. Their feces are black and cannot be eaten."

"call--"

Ye Xi breathed a sigh of relief, it would be fine if it wasn't shit. Presumably these aphids are similar to bees. Honey is what worker bees brew by storing nectar in their honey bones, and these aphids must have similar organs.

Ebony said that the excrement of aphids is black, and Ye Xi suddenly thought of the black things on the grass in the rubber forest, and asked, "Did you dump the excrement of aphids in the back forest?"

"How do you know?" Ebony blurted out, but immediately thought that Ye Xi had been to Houlin, maybe he had seen it carefully, and it wasn't surprising, so he said, "Yes, we are all thrown to Houshan."

Ye Xi pondered for a while and asked, "...Does the excrement of aphids promote the growth of plants?"

Those rubber trees were unnaturally tall, and the same type of rubber trees he had seen in the Ye tribe were almost half their size. The Ye tribe can be considered to be good at raising plants, and even the rubber trees they raise are only this big.

Wu Mu was stunned when he heard the words: "I don't know, I haven't noticed it."

Ye Xi looked solemn and said solemnly, "Ebony, can you do me a favor?"

"Of course you can, you say."

Seeing Ye Xi's solemn appearance, Wu Mu hurriedly agreed. At the same time, he decided in his heart that no matter how difficult it was, as long as he did not betray the tribe, he would do his best to help Ye Xi complete it. Because Ye Xi was the first foreign tribal friend he knew, he cherished it very much.

Ye Xi: "Can you dump aphid feces around other trees in the future?"

Ebony, who was still waiting for Ye Xi to continue talking, waited for a while, but found that there was no follow-up, and stared at him and confirmed, "Is that all?"

"Well, that's all."

Ebony exhaled,

He smiled and said: "You ask me so solemnly, I thought it was a big deal. Such a small matter is naturally no problem. I will dump the aphid feces elsewhere today. However, you can tell me why you Do you want to do that?"

Ye Xi looked solemn: "I suspect that your aphids' excrement is good for plant growth."

What if there is a benefit? Ebony doesn't understand why Ye Xi attaches so much importance to this matter.

Ye Xi saw Ebony's expression and knew that he didn't understand, shook his head and explained: "The Ye tribe is a tribe that loves plants very much. If your aphids' excrement is good for the growth of plants, what do you think? "

What will happen? Ebony was stunned again.

Ye Xi continued: "And we Tushan are also growing edible plants. If your aphid feces are sure to be useful, we Tushan are willing to exchange other things, such as snowflake salt animal skins, etc. with you."

"Exchanging salt for the feces of our aphids?" Wu Mu's eyes widened and he waved his hands again and again, "It's just feces, how could we ask for an exchange, just take it if you need it! It's fine to take it all."

Ye Xi smiled and said, "If it's really useful, then the excrement of aphids is not just excrement."

If determined to be useful, the yield of forage can be increased. Thinking of this, Ye Xi felt hot in his heart.

After explaining this matter to Ebony again and again, Ye Xi talked to Chief Eyi.

Since it has been decided to make leather boots a Tushan industry, the demand for rubber is not one barrel or two barrels.

At this time, Ye Xi was no longer uncomfortable with the still-faced Chief Ehi, and said with a smile, "Master Chief, the white sap of your back mountain forest is very useful to our tribe, I don't know if I can stay with you for a long time. Exchange? Of course, the conditions can be negotiated, do you think it is possible to exchange one catty of snowflake salt for ten catties of tree sap?"

The rubber trees on the back mountain of Eyi are too tall and dense, and the roots under the soil are all entangled together, making it difficult to transplant. Therefore, Eyi cannot sell the rubber trees to them, but they can only supply rubber.

Chief Ehi's dark eyebrows wrinkled, his face became more fierce, and he said coldly: "This thing is useless for us, you can take it if it is useful, there is no need to exchange it!"

Ye Xi said: "But we will need this sap for a long time, not once or twice..."

Chief Ehi waved his hand, interrupted him, and said firmly: "Whenever you want, you can pick it up." After a pause, he added, "Or we can send it to you." The tone was gentle. A lot, as if I felt that I was too blunt.

Ye Xi was a little moved.

He could see that Chief Ehi was sincere in what he said, and he didn't want to make a fortune from this rubber.

Aphid is a more befriendable tribe than the Leaf tribe. He can guarantee that if Tushan and Eyi are friendly and there is an enemy to attack Tushan, the people of Eyi will send someone to support them without saying a word, and they will never secretly make small moves or tricks.

Because of this, Ye Xi couldn't let Eyi suffer: "No, we must exchange things for something, even if it is a friend, it should be counted."

Chief Eyi was stunned when he heard the words "friend", then secretly glanced at Ye Xi, his eyes sparkling.

Don't they also have friends? Don't people from other tribes think that they are not easy to get along with, or that they are not normal?

Chief Ehi's voice softened a lot: "That's up to you, but a pound of salt is too much, half a catty."

However, Ye Xi became tougher: "No, just one pound." In fact, it was already a loss for the other party to exchange a pound of salt for ten pounds of rubber.

Seeing Ye Xi's resolute attitude, Chief Eyi hesitated before saying, "...Well, that's fine."

Very reluctant to promise. 8)
