Chapter 269 Horizontal 7 Vertical 8
The next day.
Sang Tian was half asleep and was forced to open his eyes by the strong sunlight.
What caught my eye was not the familiar dark, reflective cave ceiling, but a sea of peach and apricot blossoms in full bloom, vying for beauty...
Sang Tian sat up with a start.
I looked up and found myself sleeping in a peach and apricot forest... My head was still aching...
Before she could look around, she heard a "thump" next to her, the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.
Sang Tian turned around and saw Cang frowning and covering the back of his head.
Only then did Sang Tian realize that she had been sleeping in Cang's arms the whole night. She suddenly sat up, causing the back of the chair Cang was leaning on to lose balance due to gravity, and she fell over.
Cang fell flat on his back and finally woke up.
Sang Tian looked to the side and saw that it was not only Cang who was lying on his back.
Yong and Guo were sprawled on the floor, and Duo and Ming were also sleeping on the floor leaning against each other. Looking further away, they saw Mu and Jie, drooling all over the table...
At this moment, I opened my eyes dazedly because of the sound of Cang and the chair falling over...
Sang Tian slapped himself on the forehead.
Sure enough, drinking can lead to mistakes...
Tomorrow we will start our journey to the Spring Fair.
I should get up early today to help my fellow tribesmen pack their bags and load them onto the cart!
……
A few people rushed over in a daze and found that the square was already bustling with activity.
Many tribesmen were helping He move the boards he had made to the bottom of the bamboo shed. When they left tomorrow, they would follow behind the donkeys and horses and carry the goods up.
The other tribesmen were moving out the goods that they had prepared a few days ago, organizing them one by one by type, waiting to load them onto the ox carts early tomorrow morning.
Other tribesmen prepared food for the journey. As for the horses and donkeys, they didn't need to worry about them. After all, it was the season of dense forests and thick grass, so they could easily eat their fill when they stopped to rest.
Many tribesmen have already ridden horses and led donkeys out of the horse training farm and animal farm, allowing them to adapt in advance to the feeling of not being locked up and to walk freely in the vast ancient forest.
Several people joined in as quickly as possible to help the tribesmen do these things.
……
Finally, all the goods were organized by the tribesmen in the open space of the square.
They were 1,000 kilograms of charcoal, 5,000 clay pots, 10,000 oil lamps, 5,000 pieces of soap, 5,000 backpacks, and 2,000 bamboo baskets each.
Oh, and yes, a good ice fishing trip would leave a mountain of fish. When the weather warmed up, the tribesmen, fearing the fish would spoil, turned it all into salted, cured, and dried fish.
After a winter of eating it, I was so sick of it that I couldn't eat it anymore. I just took some of the "pre-cooked" fish to the trade fair and exchanged it.
So another 5,000 kilograms of "pre-cooked" fish meat was added.
Then there are the spices, which Sang Tian divides into three categories: one for roasting and frying, one for stir-frying and roasting, and one for steaming and boiling. After all, the more or less of any spice, the different the flavor.
They had never used spices before, so they weren't sure about the flavors or amounts. If they mixed everything together, it would be detrimental to the cooking of shoppers from other tribes. Since they were selling it at a high price, they naturally had to cook it well.
So Sang Tian classified all the spices according to his own experience, and divided them into three categories according to which spices were best paired with which types of dishes.
Considering that the spices were consumed relatively quickly and were extremely expensive, it was likely that not many tribes would be able to purchase them in large quantities. Therefore, each of the three groups only brought 200 kilograms.
The Spring Fair was unusual, with tribes of all sizes coming, so I expected the fair to be packed. So, I didn't bring much of these things, just enough to eat.
Moreover, this time there are horses and donkeys, so the tribesmen don't need to rely on their shoulders to carry them, so it doesn't matter if they carry more.
……
As the sun set, Sang Tian returned to the cave, made a simple stir-fried dish of leeks and eggs, and stewed a large pot of spicy pork ribs soup.
After I had eaten my fill, it was getting dark.
But looking outside, it wasn't dark at all. Every path and every doorway in Tianlang was lit with lanterns of various colors.
It was like a silk ribbon studded with colorful gems falling into the Tianlang realm, emitting a brilliant and dazzling glow.
That's it.
In the darkness, lights must appear.
It was as if it could pierce the ghosts that stretched out their ferocious claws.
Calm the storm and reassure people's hearts.
Although it's nothing like the brightly lit metropolis of today, it's certainly comparable to a countryside dotted with lights like stars...
The human touch and the air of everyday life are becoming more and more intense.
Sang Tian curled her lips, lowered the curtain, and closed the bamboo door.
I simply packed my bag, mainly changing my clothes.
Then I took a nice hot bath, after all, I might not be able to take a bath for the next ten days.
After drying her hair, Sang Tian also gave the two tiger cubs a thorough wash in the bathtub.
These cats really didn't like water; Ping An and Xi Le were grimacing in the tub. It took Sang Tian a while to finish bathing the two tigers and let them out.
I drank last night and my head is still feeling dizzy even though the day is almost over.
It seems I have to go to bed early tonight, otherwise I will have to travel with dark circles under my eyes tomorrow.
Sang Tian lay down in bed and blew out the oil lamp on the bedside.
Slowly falling asleep...
A dreamless night...
