Traveling through ancient times: Savages are hungry for food

Chapter 279: Broad-mindedness

Several males had sharp eyes and noticed the mulberry and rattan ropes on Tianlang's stall at a glance.

Judging from the shape and length, they could probably guess its purpose, and they couldn't help but look surprised, with a light in their eyes.

A clear and calm voice was heard.

“These ropes are divided into mulberry bark rope and tree rattan rope.

Leather ropes are light and flexible, with high flexibility and stretchability. However, they are relatively thin and short. They are suitable for carrying small and light items.

Rattan ropes are strong, sturdy, and tough, and they're long enough. But they're heavy, so they're only suitable for carrying large, heavy objects."

Sang Tian explained in detail the advantages and disadvantages of the two ropes.

The males holding the ropes could barely conceal their excitement, their eyes gleaming with the joy of having unearthed a treasure.

The leading male asked, "How do we switch between the two ropes?"

Sang Tian said solemnly, "The price of mulberry leather rope is higher because it takes more labor and time. It costs 15 kilograms of meat per rope. The price of rattan rope is relatively cheaper, and it costs 6 kilograms of meat per rope."

Sang Tian did not make a random offer.

The time and labor required to make a mulberry bark rope is substantial. First, after the trees are cut and brought back to the tribe, the bark is peeled. This isn't enough; the peeled bark must be separated into its green outer layer and white inner core. The green outer layer is discarded, while the white inner core is retained for rope making.

The separated white core is then boiled in a pot to increase its toughness. After boiling, the white core is removed and sun-dried. Only then can the rope-making process officially begin.

Fifteen is already a friendly price, otherwise it would be more expensive, twenty is not too much.

As for the vine rope, it is not just about pulling it down from the rock wall or tree.

Tianlang's vine rope is not just a thick and long vine.

They are made of thin and long rattan, which are then soaked and scalded before being woven together. Such rattan ropes are much stronger and more secure than a single thick rattan.

This also includes labor costs.

But when these words were spoken, everyone still took a breath of cold air and frowned.

These things are not ordinary expensive...

But ropes were an indispensable item in the daily life of ancient hunting and gathering tribes.

The men discussed for a while and decided to use only six rattan ropes.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with their concerns.

The leather rope was short and thin, not suitable for tying or carrying some of their hunting trophies.

While gathering wood has many uses, the gathering team doesn't have a large enough harvest to tie up each day. Dry firewood doesn't require such elaborate ropes. The tribesmen simply use whatever they can find to tie it up.

What's more, the price is too expensive, it's better to just replace it with rattan rope.

With this advantage, no matter how expensive the rope is, there will always be a tribe that will grit their teeth and exchange it for it.

After all, these things are indispensable.

……

However, Sang Tian noticed that Xia in the crowd was circling around Tianlang's stall again and again.

Like looking for something.

Sang Tian walked over and patted Xia's shoulder.

Xia then stopped and turned back.

"Xia, what are you looking for?"

Xia smiled kindly and asked in confusion, "Yeah, why isn't Tianlang selling those sanitary napkins?"

Only after using sanitary napkins can you understand its benefits! It is clean and convenient. It is much better than the casual use of leaves and nothing else.

Now I am used to it, and I feel uncomfortable if I don’t have my period.

Why isn't there a Tianlang here? Aren't you planning to change it?"

Sang Tian nodded, then shook her head.

With a faint smile, he said, "Tianlang is not going to change sanitary napkins anymore.

But! We plan to teach the production method of sanitary napkins to females in various tribes for free.

Let every female be able to use wood ash sanitary napkins freely and enjoy convenience during menstruation.

From now on, there will be no need for females to come to Tianlang for exchange. The production method will be passed on to everyone, and everyone can make it themselves in the tribe."

But Xia in front of Sang Tian was stunned where she was, and she kept recalling the words said by the female who was as gentle as the spring breeze in front of her.

Her pupils trembled involuntarily. For some reason, she suddenly felt her eyes sore and tears gathered in them, and her eyes became redder and redder.

how come?

How could Tianlang be like this?

In ancient tribes, which tribe would not publicize its inventions of new and useful things at trade fairs to ensure profits for its own tribe?

But Tianlang was able to not pursue profit, and selflessly taught the method of making sanitary napkins to the females of various tribes...

Their broad minds are not only free from intrigue but also full of morality...

Noticing Xia's mood at the moment.

"Xia, we Tianlangs are planning to do this because, as fellow females, we can empathize with the inconveniences everyone experiences during menstruation. We hope every female can use clean and convenient wood ash sanitary napkins during menstruation," she said.

Convenience yourself, protect yourself."

But unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, Xia's eyes became even redder and tears were almost about to burst out.

How should Xia express her emotions at this moment?

Some people say that they don't want females to live the same life as before, so they are generous and selfless and donate money to help.

Is it for the reputation of Tianlang?

No, it's for the convenience of all females...

She wiped her tears and smiled.

This is a good thing, I shouldn't cry.

Seeing her calm down, Sang Tian smiled and said, "Xia, come and make friends with the females from each tribe. Then, please help us, Tianlang, tell the females from each tribe to come here tomorrow night and teach everyone how to make sanitary napkins."

Xia smiled brightly and said, "Okay, okay, I'll make sure everyone is dressed. I'll be there right away, you can get busy."
