Chapter 31 Yalha's New Robe(2/2)

"We'll have venison stew for lunch today!" Liji proudly looked around at the onlookers and announced happily.

When everyone heard this, they burst into cheers.

Since the eighth century AD, the emperor of the island country has issued a ban on eating meat because of his firm belief in Buddhism. Later Shintoism also believed that eating the meat of four-legged animals was not only an unclean behavior, but also a sin.

Although it has been strictly observed by nobles and warriors for hundreds of years, and it is shameful to eat meat. But for ordinary civilians who do not need to take their image into account, even if they can do whatever they want, the island country is lacking in products, and even rice is seriously insufficient, so animal husbandry is difficult.

It’s even less developed, so where will the meat come from?

It is said that Oda Nobunaga set fire to Mount Hiei and killed more than 3,000 people because he hated the monks of Hiei Temple for supporting his enemies. One of the crimes was eating meat.

Since the refugees came to Bear Island, although they have eaten rice and gnawed radishes and pickles every day, they have not smelled the smell of meat for a long time. Even if they drank fish soup occasionally, they threw a few fish into a big pot.

Even when cooked, it is bland and tasteless.

(Zhao Xin, do you blame me for not having any meat?)

On the night after Yalha arrived, all the refugees were given a piece of fragrant stewed venison.

Five days later, Yalha came to the camp again. This time he exchanged two pairs of otter skins and two fox skins for two pairs of shoes.

Sheng Haizhou saw that Yalha was generous and forthright, so he couldn't bear to take advantage of him. The deer he exchanged last time made more than 300 people in the camp eat two meals of deer meat, and the bones also made a large pot of soup. Not to mention

It was said that there was also a large piece of deer skin and huge antlers.

So he asked Li Ji to take a small used steel basin and give it to the other party.

Unexpectedly, this small steel basin, which seemed inconspicuous to Sheng Haizhou, completely shocked Yalha!

By the way, the pots and pans that Zhao Xin brought, except for a few large iron pots for cooking and making soup, were all stainless steel and aluminum products purchased from the wholesale market.

At this time, people have never seen shiny 304 stainless steel.

After Yalha took it from Pingtai, he didn't care that the two pairs of shoes in his hand fell to the ground. He wiped them hard on the small steel basin with his sleeves a few times, then stuck out his tongue and licked them.

What a treasure! Everything that shines can reflect her own look.

So, after Yalha put the stainless steel basin in his arms, he made gestures with Pingtai for a long time, meaning that he would bring a large number of animal skins to exchange for things next time.

Seeing Yalha's cheerful look, Sheng Haizhou felt a little uneasy in his heart. However, before he could think about the uneasiness in his heart clearly, Zhao Xin came back.
