The soap has been successful, and there are currently only fifteen pieces the size of bricks
"Rurik, how much do you plan to sell one piece for?" Otto asked.
Rurik was asked.
The bargaining power of soap is in your own hands. The most powerful people in the fresh product tribe agree that it is the same for ordinary people, but ordinary people don’t have much money.
Estimate a price that they can afford, neither too high nor too cheap.
Thinking about money, Rurik recalled the hunting that ended not long ago. The tribesmen returned with a full load, and the price of a deer skin seemed to be one silver coin.
Yes! A silver coin.
Rurik said without hesitation: "At least one silver coin each."
"Ah?" Otto was shocked, his expression was very exaggerated.
"Dad, I said less? Then two silver coins, that's it, I will sell them for at least two silver coins."
"You...you..." Oh Tuo was a little confused, and Vilia, who was on crutches, was also shocked.
Who doesn’t like money? The purchase of a silver coin is actually very amazing, and a piece of deerskin is a very valuable property.
Otto's hunting operation earned him a total of nearly a hundred silver coins, which made him a fortune, but it also took more than a month and faced the risk of death during the expedition.
Does Rurik, a bratty kid, think that with a day and night of hard work, he can turn a pile of cheap grease that can only light an oil lamp into thirty silver coins?
Otto did see the soap bars lying on the floor, exactly fifteen in number.
Rurik could not relax for a moment and continued to emphasize: "I am the only one in the whole tribe who knows how to make it best. Each one can be used for a long time. Isn't it appropriate to buy a magical baby with two silver coins? Of course. It's appropriate. I want to provide soap to the priests permanently, and I also want to sell it to the blacksmith shop and the tannery shop. They are the richest people in the tribe besides our family and the priests. They will definitely be willing to buy treasures that can be easily cleaned. "
After hearing this, Otto thought more and more and felt that his son was not being shameless. He must have thought about who he should sell to.
What his son said was right. Otto got a lot of fresh leather and sold them all to tannery shops within the tribe and residents, and he easily made a lot of silver coins.
Those people are indeed very wealthy, especially the blacksmiths. Otto actually feels that this small group of people are the ones who make the most noise. They must have hid a lot of wealth, and the large number of display metal tools they hung in their shop were priceless.
For example, a logging ax costs one silver coin, and a very high-quality ax that has been forged many times costs three silver coins.
Looking at his son's age, he only has a meat cleaver in his seven-year-old waist. If his son wants to become a real man, maybe he needs to order an iron sword for him in advance.
No! Maybe things will change.
RurikIf the soupa he made sells for a large sum of money, Otto doesn't want to follow other men's example and use his son as a labor force to make money. His son will definitely inherit his property. If he can become a master of making money, he must be encouraged now.
He can definitely use the money he earns to buy a good sword made by the blacksmith shop. Although it is not as good as his "Destroyer", it will be a sword worthy of Rurik.
After all, when he grows up, he will definitely be the "Destroyer" and inherit his old self to lead the tribe.
Otto thought for a while: "Then, you can go to the blacksmith to test it out, maybe they will buy it. I can also talk to others, those uncles you know, they may also buy it. They have another thing about the blacksmith."
"What's the matter, Dad?"
"Well...my son, you should have a real sword. ”
“Huh? Is it possible now?”
Rurik looked very excited, and Otto naturally thought that he had a sword hanging on his waist.
"Yes, maybe you should prepare now. I can take you to see the best blacksmith in the tribe immediately."
"So anxious?"
"Oh, maybe I'm a little anxious." Otto stroked his wet beard, "Then tomorrow. My child, you let me experience an interesting thing today, and I will give you a worthy one soon." Your sword. You stay here to rest today, and I will take you there early tomorrow morning." Rurik did not speak. He nodded subconsciously and agreed to his father's request.
The facts about soap were very exciting, and after having a heart-to-heart talk with the high priest Vilia, he left feeling relaxed. The weather outside was still very cold, so he went to get together with his guys as usual and told them that his son had made a new Pokémon that could clean people as if they were just born.
Otto was advertising. He first ran to Harozov’s house and called the other guys together.
More than twenty people were sitting in Harozov’s longhouse, dressed in various colors, warming themselves around the fire.
Each of them exuded a complex smell. It was obvious that they had been smelling it for too long, and no one found the smell disgusting.
Because it was a mixture of sweat and body odor, mixed with the smell of bacon and charcoal.
Bathing can still be challenging in the winter, and to make matters worse, winter is never a good time to do laundry. You can imagine how terrible it is for many people to spend the whole long winter wearing the only clothes they have and not being able to change them.
The sudden appearance of the leader this morning immediately gave others a different feeling.
"Chief, you came very suddenly today? Do you plan to invite everyone to drink? As far as I know, your wine jar must not have much stock." Harozov took the lead in teasing.
"Of course it's not about the wine, it's another matter."
"It can't be your son? Or is it the servant of your family?"
"Servant?" Otto curled his lips, "I just came back from the priest, and that servant has been staying in the priest's longhouse. This servant has been sleeping around the fire, like a puppy , My son is here, and since Rurik doesn’t speak, I can’t say anything.”
“So... Chief, I always think your hair is weird because of the way you rearranged it. Something special."
"Haha? Have you noticed?" Otto suddenly raised his body and held his exaggerated and fluffy beard.
"My son invented a good thing. I use it to clean my beard thoroughly. You can come and touch it. I will never mind."
Now that the leader has spoken , his exaggerated beard was naturally played with by others. A pair of big rough hands touched the fluffy beard. It was dry and soft, and could be stroked down. This was the most incredible thing. It was possible to stroke the beard without any problems.
That's not all.
Otto took off his leather hat again. His long hair, mixed with a lot of white hair, lost its hold on the hat and completely drooped down.
"You can also touch my hair. It becomes very clean, as neat as the hair of a newborn child."
Because of the stickiness of sebum, long hair becomes very clean. Hair and beards can stick together. Excessive hair can attach a lot of dust and fine ash from the campfire with the heat. They mix with sebum to form a more sticky and greasy substance. A strong warrior, they find it difficult to wash their hair and beard, even with clean water, unless they use alkaline shampoo.
Otto showed a strong and incredible feeling to his guys.
Releasing his hair, Harozov's hands trembled in shock: "What's going on? Could it be that the priest used some kind of magic power?"
"Hahaha! Of course! No! Because this is the magic power from Odin, and my son Rurik received Odin's magic power." Otto's words were very magical, but others did not have any doubts.
Everyone believed that it was true, including Harozov’s wife who was busy cutting dried meat. She also stopped cutting her knife to listen to what the leader had to say.
Otto smiled confidently and muttered deliberately: "Listen, brothers, stick your heads over here."
"You...please say it. "Harozov also replied in a low voice.
“Rurik made some magical treasures that can completely clean the filthiest people. The priests have already enjoyed them in advance, and I just used it to completely clean my beard and Hair. Listen up! Listen up, y’all! My hair is no longer itchy and my chin is feeling better than it has ever been since I started growing a beard. I know you want this treasure too. "
Harozov was very moved. He asked quietly and seriously: "Is it the chief priest's house? I will lead the brothers to ask for it now.. "
"No! Otto shook his head vigorously: "That is a sacred place. You will all enter Valhalla after death. If you want to force your way into the sacred place in the human world now, you will be rejected by the Valkyrie at the gate of Valhalla." Besides, you don’t have to try hard, because the maker of the baby is my son Rurik. "
"Could it be that...we are required to go to Rurik in person to ask for it? No! Chief, he is your son, and the brothers should ask for it from you. "
"Oh, that's right. Otto chuckled and sat cross-legged with a lazy look. He stretched out two fingers and said: "Two silver coins, you can get the treasure with just two silver coins." ”
Next, Otto showed the size of the soap bar and how to use it with his hands while introducing.
In this way, they basically understood the size of a soap bar. It's really not that small, although it will shrink a little with each use, it has successfully completed the so-called thorough cleaning. Furthermore, it can wash your hair and beard, and wash your clothes thoroughly.
There is another reason why everyone is eager to get it. The so-called soapa is another oracle that Rurik received from Odin. If you want to get closer to Valhalla, would it be better to buy Rurik's soapa. Gaining the favor of God.
Some people are even speculating that maybe the heroic spirits in Valhalla must use this thing to bathe, and they can enjoy it in advance now.
"I buy it! Harozov gritted his teeth and waved directly to his wife: "Navola, give me two silver coins and give them to the leader." ”
Harozov’s wife is completely obedient to her husband, just like other women in the tribe. She is very traditional and believes that her husband will do everything well, and she only needs to be responsible for taking care of her husband’s property. She Without hesitation, he took out the storage box, which contained all of Harozov's belongings, and took him to Valhalla. This property will naturally be inherited by the married eldest son.
As for Harozov's. The younger son Kanuf, unfortunately, wants to fight for his own wealth.
“Chief, just accept it now. "Harozov said respectfully.
Two Roman silver coins, it is indeed very valuable.
Otto thought for a while and shook his head directly: "No, you collect the money first. good. "
"Why? We all believe in you, leader. "
"No! Don't get me wrong. The silver coins will be given to me to keep Rick, even though I am his father, I cannot collect this money on my behalf. "
"But you are still his father. "Harozov emphasized.
"Rurik will be the next leader. He received the oracle and made a treasure to clean everything, which also proved that the priest's prediction was true. "Thinking of many things, Otto, who was very happy just now, couldn't help sighing: "Brothers, I am already old, but you are all younger than me. Rurik may be the only child in our tribe who has received a clear oracle. Among all the children under ten years old, there is no one better than him.? Ask your heart. Your little sons, once the snow melts, they will have to go to the slopes to learn a lot from Rurik.
I asked the high priest many things, and the high priest told me that Rurik will be an excellent leader, not only because of the oracle but also because of his current performance. Rurik is full of wisdom and is good at fighting intelligently. He understands everything I am proficient in and knows everything I am not good at.
You go and buy his things in person, and he controls the money himself. Now that Rurik was necessary to be a leader, he had to be trained. From now on he had to learn to take care of his property. ”
Otto’s words are very pertinent, at least everyone thinks so.
Due to the small wooden house of the Harozov family, Otto had to summon the most loyal one. A small group of cronies.
If it were in the open air, he could easily recruit 200 or 300 warriors who had nothing to do in winter. If he chose another day, he would forcefully break the ice to catch seals. People are also returning, and there can be five hundred or seven hundred warriors listening to Otto's advertisement for his son's soap.
It is probably enough to tell only twenty cronies, and they will tell the good news later. Others, anyway, there is nothing else to do in the boring winter.
Otto chatted with these guys about all kinds of things and the lack of resources. They talked about Rurik's servants, venison and fish. Which one tastes better? They even talked about the bulging bellies of the Novgorod women who married in, and other messy things. Because of the magical possibilities of soap, everyone was in a good mood and firmly believed in the future.
Yes, the priest said many years ago that the born Rurik will be the greatest leader of the tribe, and everyone will be happy by following the leader.
Everyone talked about it the most. The key thing is that after the ice and snow melt, the tribes will organize people to go to Novgorod to ask for tribute. At that time, the adult men of each tribe will be allocated their own rewards according to their status and age.
Otto didn't leave until dark. He was in a very good mood and naturally turned to the priest's longhouse to see his son.
He wanted to see what this cute child was doing during the day. , by the way, he announced the good news to his son. As a father, he had already received as many as twenty orders, and the existing soap could be sold instantly.
Taking advantage of the glimmer of stars reflecting on the snow. , he approached the longhouse of the priests, and a strong smell of burnt fat rushed into his nostrils, violently arousing his greed.
Ah! The smell of fat is so tempting.
