"Sausage!" Tang Ping said, "Well, because Alaric and the others helped make it, I plan to name it Portuguese sausage!"
"Portuguese sausage?" Karldottir took it out and looked at something he had never seen before: "What is this for?"
This is a very easy-to-preserve food. The inside is full of pork, and the outside is made of chicken intestines. If there is soup for lunch today, I think we can cook some for it.
The place where these Vikings cooked was too cold, so the food was easy to preserve, but it was not easy for them to raise pigs here.
One is the cold weather, and the other is the lack of food for pigs. If pigs are raised, the pigs will not gain weight at all.
Therefore, it is difficult for people here to eat pork. Their meat sources are fish and animals like seals.
After hearing that Tang Ping said it was made of pork, Eriksson and others licked their lips.
"Okay, thank you for the gift!" Carldottir threw the bag to Eriksson: "Boil it in the soup."
This tribe didn't look very wealthy. Tang Ping observed that there were about two hundred young people, which was quite a lot.
Then there were about two hundred people, young and old.
The children were curious and bold enough to run to the roadside and look at Tang Ping and the others.
When Tang Ping arrived at Waiteanhop Island, he planted the sweet potatoes brought by the cruise ship as food on the island. After harvesting, he made a lot of dried sweet potatoes. At this time, he also asked Lao Cui to take them out and distribute them to the children.
"Sweet!" One of the boldest children took one and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up.
Sweets are extremely precious here. When he heard what he said, the other children came over and swarmed up and divided up the dried sweet potatoes that Tang Ping took out.
Karldottir has also been observing Tang Ping and the others. She can feel that Tang Ping really likes these children, and his eyes cannot deceive.
So she felt much better about Tang Ping.
In addition to the boiled seal meat at noon, there was also a soup made from grinding a certain plant into flour. It was definitely not delicious to Tang Ping, but it was not that kind of food. There was no strange smell that could be tolerated.
The residents here are very interested in the sausages sent by Tang Ping.
A total of nearly two hundred large sausages were cooked, and each clan member got almost half.
Eriksson said in surprise: "You actually put salt in it!"
Salt, like sugar, is also very expensive.
"Of course you need to add salt, just like salted fish. Only by adding salt can it be preserved longer."
This meal actually brought the two sides closer. Eriksson said that Lao Cui and the others were all powerful warriors. Some unconvinced Vikings came up to challenge Lao Cui and the others after the meal.
It just so happened that Lao Cui and his group had some free time recently, so they cleaned up this group of Vikings next to each other.
Their strength also made Karldottir look at them with admiration. While Lao Cui and the others were competing, Tang Ping came to Karldottir and said, "Almost all of you here are young and middle-aged people, and there are so few children and old people??"
Carldottir said sadly: "Because the winter here is too cold, there are always children and the elderly who cannot survive."
"In that case, why aren't you willing to lead your tribe to make some changes?"
"I know what you are going to say!" Karldottir looked at Tang Ping and said, "It's not that we are unwilling to change, but the price of change is too high!"
"We once tried to live further south, but the result was that we met Sevex, burned down a large number of our villages, and kidnapped many of our people as slaves."
"Only in this cold place can we stop them from pursuing us."
"In this case, you should join us to overthrow Sevex!" Tang Ping said: "I know you doubt my motives, but please believe me, I really sincerely help Alaric, because He saved me."
"In our country, we believe in repaying kindness with a drop of water and a spring of water!" Seeing Karldottir a little confused, Tang Ping translated: "If you show me kindness by giving me two drops of water, I will I will give you a lot of water to repay your kindness!"
"So if Uncle Alaric helped us when the ship broke down at sea, I would be willing to help him fulfill his ancestor's last wish. But as you said, it is indeed beneficial for me to do so."
As he spoke, Tang Ping drew a map in the sand in front of him with a branch, pointed to the farthest and largest patch on the right and said, "Look, this is our country. Our country is very huge. There are many, many adults. We Produce a lot of stuff.”
Then he pointed to the left and said: "You are probably here now, Wessex is here, and then here are many other countries, such as the Kingdom of Visigoth and the Kingdom of Burgundy. We collectively call your place Europe."
"The things from our country are very valuable to you, they are worth more than you can imagine, so people from our country want to sell things in Europe to make money. But do you think in this case, are these countries better our friends or enemies in the past? ?”
"Of course I am your friend!!" Karldottir said: "But you can also become friends with the King of Sevex."
"You look down on my character!" Tang Ping sighed and asked, "If someone has a grudge against Eriksson, will you still be friends with that person?"
"Of course not, I will always stand on Eriksson's side!" Carldottir said decisively.
"It just so happens that I am the same type of person as you. Because King Sevex has a grudge against Uncle Alaric, I will not be friends with him."
Tang Ping stretched out a hand: "It seems like we can become friends?"
Karldottir looked at Tang Ping for a while, then stretched out a hand to hold it with him: "We can be friends, and I am even willing to let my people help you, but you still need the support of more people!"
"It's okay!!" Tang Ping grinned: "They say a good start is half the battle. Look, my first stop here is to become friends with you, isn't it?"
"It's not that easy!" Karldottir said seriously: "In a few days, I can take you to attend our Viking tribal meeting. If you can't convince other tribes to gather more warriors, I can't either. Leave the warriors of our Karl clan to you!"
"Okay, let's talk about the future later." Tang Ping was very satisfied with being able to get Carldottir's promise for the time being.
As for the tribal meeting, let’s take it one step at a time.
