《Rise of America 1620》Chapter 10: Squash, Shock Moxie
Advertisement
Wow! It's really delicious, isn't it?
Artido wiped the corners of his mouth and asked with a long breath of relief.
He had already drunk three big wooden bowls of congee and eaten eight bags of squash.
I have to say, although Fuling squash is not a good thing, Artido has never eaten it in his life.
The congee with the squash is simply delicious.
"Our tribe's secret dishes, because in my tribe, we are very particular about food. So we have developed a lot of delicious food, but unfortunately, I am separated from the tribe, otherwise, I would be able to provide more delicious food.
William is now not blushing at all when he talks nonsense, it's a natural habit.
Artido nodded his head imagine, you are simply too happy. I think that since I was a kid, the most I ate was meat, and most of it tasted bland. Even if they grew some potatoes and corn, a pot of it would be tasteless.
After all, a tribe like theirs is already very satisfied with what they have to eat, so who would be picky about the taste?
Otherwise, he would not be so envious of the white porridge with squash, and even as a delicacy.
What a poor kid, I feel sorry for you.
Looking at Artido's troubled expression, William snickered in his heart.
"But I do know how to make it, and I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave," William said after thinking for a while. "My tribe should come looking for me after a while. I'm going to stay just east of your tribe, so I need your permission to do that.
William said he would make this delicious 'squash', which got Artido excited.
Especially when William said he wasn't going to leave, Artido couldn't wait for that. The east side of the site near the sea, befriend this also did not.
After all, he saved his father, and it is reasonable to repay him.
"I'll be able to make this kind of food and use it to exchange with you. William finally showed his tail.
"I'd welcome it, of course, but I'll have to wait until my father wakes up. But it shouldn't be a big deal, his life is yours. It's just an unimportant area, so you can use it as a territory.
The first time I saw him, I was able to see him.
Thinking about the history of New York, William sighed in his heart.
Historically, it was the Dutch who first landed in New York and traded a mere pile of fake jewelry for Manhattan Island from the Indians.
The value of that pile of fake jewelry was only 24 French libra.

Only William forgot the year the Dutch landed in New York, he thought his brain did not recall this history.
There is no way, who let him not study history.
It's not good enough to think that the Dutch used fake jewelry to trick their way to Manhattan Island.
In fact, William is not, his arrival has already started some small changes.
The Dutch, who were supposed to appear in 1609, is not yet in sight.
But even if the Dutch had appeared, it wouldn't have mattered because they never established more than 100 people in the settlements after they cheated Manhattan Island.
Meanwhile, between 1609 and 1620, the inhabitants of this Dutch settlement "disappeared".
As for the reason, some later scholars have not found the root cause.
However, the biggest possibility is that it was exterminated by the Indians ......
"There are many good places around our tribe. Why choose the east side?" Artido felt that the eastern part of the place is not good, there are few wild animals, and there is no way to hunt. The choice of that side is a very unfortunate choice.
And not in good conscience, let's choose that side.
After listening to Artido's advice and description of the situation on the eastern seaside, William expressed his gratitude with great appreciation.
What a simple man!
"In fact, if my tribe comes looking for me, they will definitely come along the coastline. That's why I had to settle somewhere by the sea so that my people could easily find me.
William of course will not say the real reason, because he still wants to develop a big sailing plan in the future.
So the errand boy, may not be near the seaside.
And then again, he developed at the seaside away from the Mohican tribe, but also convenient to do ah.
Otherwise, do not show up.
He still wants to do trade with the Mohican tribe, so he must be far away from the Mohican tribe to do.
Anyway, the Mohican tribe has more than 10,000 people, and the surrounding small tribes will not easily step into their territory to anger them.
With Mohican in the way, William can also rest assured that the development is not.
"Oh, it's because of this relationship. After listening to William tell the reason, Artido stopped talking about this issue.
Yes, they are there for the convenience of the clan to find them, so you can't do bad things with good intentions.
"When my people find me, I'll have them bring in iron axes and knives and pots, which our tribe can make. William gave Artido a little bit of a heads up to observe his reaction.

Artido showed an interesting look, he gently put down the poor-quality wooden bowl in his hands, seriously looked at William, you said are true? Your tribe can make iron axes and knives? Artido was interested for a reason, because, given the level of productivity of the Indians, they could not mine and make iron products. So they have always traded with the "white skins" to get iron products.
But the "white skins" were really greedy and the trade was unfair.
The Indians could not build these, so they had to be exploited by the "white skins".
If what William says is true, then they have a chance to get rid of the exploitation of the "white skins". The Indians may be simple, but they are not stupid.
William nodded seriously and picked up the wooden bowl in front of him and played with it for a moment.
"In our tribe, wooden bowls are much better made than this. William deliberately showed a proud look, "Oliver, bring out our bowls.
Okay!
Online from the slant-back green military satchel, took out a coffee-colored smooth incomparable wooden bowl handed.
This kind of wooden bowl, in the 21st century, the street is full of 5 yuan a casual buy, but it is this kind of rotten street but Artido is deeply shocked.
He took the wooden bowl from Oliver and looked at it with wide eyes.
It was so smooth, so beautiful, so much more powerful than the wooden bowls we use!
I think the wooden bowl that I used, is a piece of wood hollowed out after the thing that can be used, and this bowl is really a day and a place.
"I've decided to give you a set!"
William saw Artido's shocked look and felt great satisfaction in his heart.
At that moment, he gave Artido a set with a wave of his hand.
In fact, the set of wooden items given to Artido was originally used by the four of them along the way.
Five wooden bowls, four large wooden plates, three medium plates, three small plates, four wooden teacups, and a large bowl for soup.
"This is so precious, so precious!"
For Artido, the set that William gave him was no less than a 21st-century villa with a full set of mahogany furniture.
"We are, no need to be polite. When my people find me, then I guarantee that I can trade with you this kind of goods, and the price is fair better than trading with the white skin! William made a promise with a pat on his chest.
Artido is of course willing to deal with William, after all, William is also considered "Indian", in general than the white skins worthy of trust and relationship.
"In our side of an iron ax, with other tribes can exchange 50 beaver skins or 30 mink skins, bearskins and other skins are very fair price ......", William said a price, test to measure Artido's reaction.
In fact, he deliberately said a high price in order to have a little room for bargaining later.
Anyway, it has come to this age, if the trade does not make huge profits he is also sorry ah.
Now is not the time to pay attention to small profits and the long flow of water, he still has a lot of investments are no money.
If you do not invest a little more to make money and buy a genetic human upgrade, his security is not guaranteed ah.
So, this time he needs to "black heart" some only.
In fact, in the Andal tribe, an iron ax is exchanged for 30 beaver skins or 15 mink skins ......
"50 beaver skins, or 30 mink skins!"
Artido exclaimed out of breath.
No way, such a big reaction. Am I asking too much?
William was a bit apprehensive, he was worried that the relationship he had made would go down the drain.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to sell, Artido looked at William with a painful heart and said, "You know, those white skins in the south who call themselves the Eagle Nation, an ax would cost eighty beaver skins in exchange ......"
Hoo!
William finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"These damned white skins, they are so black-hearted! William also put on a furious face and cursed.
Artido and William said something to each other, watching Oliver and the three geniuses snicker.
"Your tribe is really fair, as long as you can keep the supply in the future, then I can completely guarantee that we can make a smooth transaction! He said, "I don't even need my father to decide this, he Artido can do it.
The difference between 80 hides for an ax and 50 hides for an ax is something even a fool can figure out.
Moreover, Artido picked up William's ax and dagger, and machete, and looked at them very carefully.
He, the quality is much better and sharper than those of the "white skins".
In fact, where, even in the 21st-century poor quality pig iron products, is always much better than the European iron products of this era.
Of course, the current Ming Dynasty and East Japan's iron products, it would not dare to say.

A Requiem For The End
Yuga wakes up on a cold, frigid land entirely covered in snow. Where was he? Who was he? Neither of these could he remember but he didn't have time to think of it, he could tell danger wasn't far. A quick death if he failed to avoid it. It was fast approaching and much as he tried to escape, it quickly caught up with him. Luckily he had survived, but was he just lucky or was there something more to him.....? A Requiem For The End is a fantasy story set in a world.......well, quite different from most stories you might have seen (I honestly don't know how to better describe it). Early into the story (prologue) the world feels elusive because you slowly learn about it through the eyes of Yuga. As you read on questions may arise in your mind and mysteries will present themselves. The answers to them will come the further you read. I'd like to think the plot is a bit larger than the average and same goes for the world building. If you find this story intriguing then all I can say is - There's a lot for me to tell, hop on?

Den of Vipers
The Year is XXXX, and a deep, heavy fog sets in all over not just the planet, but the whole of the universe, sending all within into a deep, deep sleep. When they awake, all has changed, and both for the better and the worse. Everything has changed, from the new, impossibly massive planet that all now occupy to the terrain to the very rules of reality themselves. But what has changed the most are the people. It seemed as though Humanity was alone in the cosmos, but no longer, as new, monstrous races have been born from the flesh of those whom the Fog singled out. With the survivors rewarded for each altered former human they kill, along with each heroic (and villainous) act that they engage in, those who have changed are forced to run, hide, and try to fight back. But in a distant place, a single altered person stirs from her sleep as the Fog fades. With no Humans for hundreds of miles and a [Quest] that all other Altered share guiding her newly inhuman mind, the newly born serpentine but humanoid monster will have to fight for survival and dominance in a world hellbent on her death, with that violent, pathological hate coming not just from the remaining Humans.
