Chapter 192 A great harvest
When Chief Agula heard that someone from another tribe was visiting, he hurried over to receive them.
He had an upright posture and walked with steady and powerful steps. Although he was dressed in simple animal skin clothes, he had an aura of majesty without even being angry.
Feng saw Agula coming and hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Hello, Chief. I am Feng from the Lingyu Tribe, and this is my companion Yan."
"I came here because I learned from the chief that the Stone Tribe possesses unique wisdom and skills. I came to visit and exchange ideas, and also to see if there's a chance to exchange some items."
Agula nodded slightly, looking at the two of them calmly, and replied politely: "I have heard of the name of the Lingyu tribe."
"Welcome everyone to the Stone Tribe. If you would like to discuss or exchange something, please come inside and discuss."
After saying that, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.
Feng thanked him again, and together with Yan, he followed Agula into the tribe.
Yan had put away his previous arrogance at this time, and with a slightly restrained look on his face, he followed silently behind.
The tribesmen in the tribe looked at these outsiders curiously, but they did not stop eating and continued to enjoy the food. The lively and orderly scene made Feng secretly amazed, and he looked forward to this visit and exchange even more.
Agula enthusiastically led Feng, Yan, and the others into the tribe's central stone house. While the stone house wasn't luxurious, it was kept clean and tidy, and the animal-skin seats exuded a unique atmosphere.
Agula smiled and asked, "You have come from far away, so I'm sure you haven't eaten yet. The tribe has prepared a lot today, which is perfect for entertaining you distinguished guests."
Feng was about to decline when Agula quickly walked out of the stone house.
Agula excitedly found Nan Qiao and said anxiously, "Lord Chosen One, we have several guests from the Lingyu Tribe visiting us."
"They're a big tribe, one of the richest. They were surprised to see us eating. I guess they've never eaten like this before."
"Hurry up and prepare some food. Make sure you bring out our best so they can see for themselves that our Stone Tribe is no longer what it used to be."
Nan Qiao understood Agula's intention, nodded in agreement, and quickly gathered the tribesmen to get busy.
Soon, bowls of steaming broth, roasted sweet potatoes with an enticing sweet aroma, sizzling grilled meat, and refreshing and delicious stir-fried wild vegetables were served on the table one after another.
The rich aroma of meat, the sweetness of sweet potatoes, and the freshness of wild vegetables mixed together and filled the entire stone house.
Yan was still holding his head high, but the fragrant aroma penetrated his nose directly, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "It smells so good!"
Feng, Yan and the others looked at each other and saw a hint of expectation and embarrassment in each other's eyes.
They picked up chopsticks and spoons with extremely unnatural postures, after all, they were used to eating with their hands.
Feng carefully picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. The tender and juicy taste instantly spread on his taste buds. His eyes lit up: "This meat is cooked just right, it melts in your mouth, and the taste is wonderful!"
Yan also followed suit and scooped a spoonful of broth into his mouth. The delicious soup slid down his throat, and his face was full of surprise: "I have never tasted such a delicious soup. How did you cook it?"
Then he picked up a piece of roasted sweet potato and took a light bite. The soft, sweet sweet potato spread between his teeth. "What is this? It's so sweet!"
Another companion took a piece of stir-fried wild vegetable with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully. He said, "This wild vegetable is cooked so deliciously, without any bitterness. The cooking skills of the Stone Tribe are truly admirable."
As they used the cutlery clumsily, they kept expressing their sincere admiration for the food, having long forgotten their initial contempt for the Stone Tribe.
Agula looked at their reactions, feeling proud, but he maintained a humble smile on his face. "Thank you for your compliments, everyone. These are just commonplace events in the tribe."
"Although our Stone Tribe is not wealthy now, we are also trying to find more ways to live."
Feng's eyes were always attracted by the plate of roasted sweet potatoes. He had never tasted such delicious and unique food.
After the meal, Feng said to Agula, "Chief, the roasted sweet potatoes from your tribe are truly unforgettable to me."
"My Lingyu tribe has some exquisite accessories and well-made animal skins. I'd like to exchange them for some sweet potatoes. Is that possible?"
Agu nodded in agreement without thinking.
Feng hurriedly ordered people to bring carefully selected accessories. Those accessories were made of shells, animal bones and colorful stones. They were skillfully polished and woven, with exquisite and unique styles, sparkling with charming luster in the sun.
Animal leather clothes are made of high-quality animal skins, with shiny fur, soft touch and excellent warmth retention.
They exchanged these for five pounds of sweet potatoes.
Feng then felt like he had found a treasure and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. "Chief Agula, the food and dining style of your tribe are really eye-opening for us."
"Although our Lingyu tribe has a lot of supplies, I'm afraid we still need to learn from the Big Stone Tribe in terms of the diversity and refinement of our diet."
Yan nodded repeatedly beside him. His attitude was completely different from when he first arrived. Now he was full of admiration: "Yes, I originally thought that the Stone Tribe was poor and backward, but I didn't expect that they had such a unique food culture."
"This tableware is also very exquisite. Although it is a little unfamiliar to use, it is quite interesting."
Agula smiled and waved his hand: "If you like it, we can communicate and share more in the future."
"We in the Stone Tribe have many interesting things that may interest you."
A hint of surprise flashed in Feng's eyes: "Oh? That's great."
"We came here with this intention. Our Lingyu tribe has recently hunted many wild animals and picked some fresh fruits. I wonder if we can exchange them for your tribe's bowls, chopsticks, spoons, and the stone pot for making this delicious soup?
After a moment's thought, Agula said, "That's a good suggestion. These tableware and kitchen utensils are all carefully crafted by our tribe. If they can help the Lingyu tribe, we would be happy to exchange them."
So, both sides began to count the exchanged items.
The people of the Lingyu tribe brought fresh wild animal meat and baskets of brightly colored fruits.
The Stone Tribe selected a batch of well-made bowls, chopsticks, spoons and stone pot soup spoons.
Feng looked at the items he had exchanged and said with satisfaction, "This trip to the Stone Tribe has yielded far more than I expected. I believe these new things will be very popular in the Lingyu Tribe."
Agula also responded with a smile: "The exchanges and cooperation with the Lingyu Tribe have also opened up more possibilities for us in the Giant Stone Tribe. I look forward to having more exchanges in the future."
As the people of the Lingyu tribe left, the people of the Giant Stone tribe gathered together and cheered.
