Chapter 664, What Truly Magical Stones

Translator: Silavin

 

Su Bai adjusted the clothes on his body, which was a light yellow garment.

 

This light yellow garment had previously been dyed by Yu Ying.

 

In the Flame Dragon Tribe now, only a few people could wear coloured clothes, apart from those in the Yong’an Building, there was only the Chieftain.

 

Subsequently, all coloured fabrics would come from the dyeing workshop, and the manufacturing process would be more complex than before.

 

“Shaman, this outfit looks really good on you.” Yu Ying was quite satisfied with her handiwork.

 

This was something Yu Ying had spent quite a few days sewing, and it looked exceptionally simple and attractive.

 

“Indeed it’s not bad, your handiwork has improved greatly.” Su Bai patted the garment on his body.

 

However, it was mainly because he had drawn the design and then had her sew according to the pattern in the picture.

 

The overall feeling was still quite good, similar to those casual T-shirts from Earth.

 

The weather was starting to get warmer, so there was no need to wear thick Animal Hide anymore. Changing to cool linen clothes was the best choice.

 

“It’s all because the Shaman’s drawings are so beautiful, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to sew such attractive clothes.” Yu Ying smiled.

 

“Do you find the sewing process very difficult?” Su Bai asked, having other plans in mind.

 

“Not that difficult, it’s quite simple once you are familiar with it.” Yu Ying shook her head without hesitation.

 

“As long as it’s not difficult, then we can mass-produce them.” Su Bai responded with satisfaction.

 

Naturally, he wanted to have the Tribe people produce more T-shirts, so they could be taken to the Central Market for trade.

 

Ready-made T-shirts would have much higher value than just fabric, and they could be exchanged for more food.

 

“Shaman, if we do that, the people from other Tribes will all be able to get such beautiful clothes.” Yu Ying did not want such attractive clothes to be everywhere.

 

“It doesn’t matter. Once these clothes are made, their value will be very high, and not everyone will be able to afford them.” Su Bai smiled.

 

He had already set a price in his mind, one that not everyone could afford.

 

He believed that even in this Primitive Era, class distinctions were certainly very clear, and these clothes would undoubtedly be the best way to make class distinctions.

 

Many high and mighty people wanted to distinguish themselves from others, and they would certainly spare no expense to exchange for these clothes.

 

“I understand, this way, we can trade for more food.” Yu Ying was quick on the uptake.

 

She knew that many things became different once processed, and processed items would have higher value.

 

“People from other Tribes should arrive soon. When the time comes, let’s see the results of the Central Market.” Su Bai smiled slightly.

 

Ever since he started building the Central Market, he had been looking forward to it. He wanted to see how those from outside would react.

 

“Yes, calculating the time, it should be within these two days.” Yu Ying nodded.

 

Excluding the time for holding the Totem Awakening Ceremony and renovating the Tribe, those people would have more or less learned some news after arriving at the Spotted Deer Tribe.

 

Apart from people coming from the Spotted Deer Tribe, there were also those who had made arrangements during the snow season.

 

The Flame Dragon Tribe would welcome them, and it was expected for the Tribe to be filled with many people.

 

Su Bai stepped to the floor-to-ceiling window, putting his hands behind his back as he looked at the entire Tribe.

 

Looking out, the entire Flame Dragon Tribe had wooden walls surrounding it everywhere, though they were not all actually wooden walls.

 

Most of it was just several wooden stakes set up, with a layer of straw or Animal Hide spread around for concealment.

 

This was because they could not let those from other Tribes see the cement house that the Flame Dragon Tribe was building.

 

These surrounding barriers had been set up in the past two days, estimating that people from the other Tribes would arrive in these two days.

 

All protective measures had to be prepared. The cement house was one of the Flame Dragon Tribe’s greatest trump cards, and could not be easily leaked.

 

[How familiar…] Su Bai thought. He felt this scene was somewhat like construction sites on Earth, with everyone busily working away.

 

“Shaman, is something wrong?” Yu Ying asked in confusion upon seeing his reaction.

 

Yu Ying kept swishing her pink fox tail, holding a cup of tea in both hands, ready at any time.

 

“Nothing, the weather is starting to get hotter and hotter.” Su Bai looked up at the big Sun in the sky.

 

“Yes, I feel uncomfortable as well.” Yu Ying was also afraid of the heat.

 

Yu Ying looked wilted, her pink fox ears drooping down, appearing listless.

 

“When the weather gets too hot, it indeed makes everyone uncomfortable.” Su Bai actually did not like hot weather either.

 

“Shaman, don’t stand by the window, you’ll get sunburned and feel even more uncomfortable.” Yu Ying showed concern.

 

She saw rays of sunlight falling on the Shaman’s face, and just looking at it made her feel hot.

 

“It’s fine. Bring some saltpetre over, we’ll make some ice.” Su Bai said softly.

 

Since the weather was so hot now, it was time to drink some iced beverages.

 

The weather in this Primitive Era was really strange, as if there was no autumn. After the rainy season came the snow season. After the snow season ended, it went directly into hot weather, catching them off guard.

 

“Eh, it’s not the snow season now, how can we get ice?” Yu Ying was instantly astonished.

 

She could not believe her ears. With such a big scorching Sun outside, how could they possibly get ice?

 

“As long as we use saltpetre, we can do it.” Su Bai said gently.

 

On Earth, quite a few people used saltpetre to make ice. This was also an essential knowledge for Transmigrators.

 

“Okay, I’ll go get it right now.” Yu Ying was still in a state of shock.

 

*Step step step…*

 

Yu Ying, with curious eyes, placed several pieces of saltpetre on the table, constantly blinking her pink eyes.

 

She kept suppressing her curious feelings, trying to get some answers from his expression.

 

“The process isn’t that difficult. Get two wooden buckets, one needs to be larger than the other, and both need to be filled with water.” Su Bai explained.

 

He knew that if he did not give a rough explanation, she would definitely keep looking at him with that same expression.

 

“Yes.” Yu Ying immediately had the servants prepare them.

 

Soon, both wooden buckets were brought over, both filled with quite a bit of water.

 

“Shaman, how do we do this? Just use these stones?” Yu Ying curiously looked at those grey and white stones.

 

These stones felt no different from ordinary stones when held in hand, yet he said they could be used to make ice?

 

This sounded too incredible. She had already been amazed when making gunpowder before.

 

“Of course, just using the stones and this water.” Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly.

 

The principle of making ice with saltpetre was not difficult to explain, and the way to do it was even easier.

 

“How magical.” Yu Ying’s pink fox tail swished frantically.
