Chapter 218 218. Orc Aliang 05
When Yuntutu faced a big customer, he only regretted that he had not prepared enough stock. This was just one tribe, so how could other tribes not be tempted when they saw it?
But since the leader Asan had said so, she couldn't say anything else and just pushed the knives over and said, "Then let's make a deal."
The leader Asan asked for some medicine, some sugar, and some iron pots, iron basins, and iron bowls.
However, he has a debt on his side, and it will take a few days before he can pay back the collateral.
Carrying a large pile of things, the leader Asan directly called on the tribesmen to start distributing them.
It was the first time that Yun Tutu and his men witnessed such a fair and just distribution plan. Neither the leader nor the warriors took more than they ate.
Li Aiping and a few others were the only ones left in the tent. There were two beds in total. Chen Yuxi and Yun Tutu shared one bed, and the bedding was also laid out.
The orcs were very curious before, but no one came in to visit. Chen Yuxi even praised them for being a very sensible tribe.
"Tutu, you can't do business this way. What's the difference between this and getting something for nothing?" Li Aiping sat on the bed. Although this air mattress was not as comfortable as a Simmons mattress, at least she didn't have to sleep in the car or on a wooden frame like the orcs.
“I came here at the invitation of Aliang, and the transaction was just a sideline.
And we didn’t suffer any loss, we got so much meat and fruit, the value of which is much higher than the price of our scrap copper and iron.”
“That’s why I say that you young people are like this. How can you, as a businessman, devalue your own goods?
The salt and iron tools you brought, which one is not rare to them?
There is a saying that scarcity makes things valuable, and there is also a business motto that rare goods are valuable.
Here, grandma really has to criticize you, you have to consider all aspects and earn more benefits for us. "
Yuntutu looked Li Aiping straight in the eye and said, "Academician Li, the higher-ups have given the greatest affirmation to my various actions, and also granted me the greatest freedom.
But you are right about one thing. I am not a businessman. To put it bluntly, I am just like a courier. I deliver whatever people need and earn a little hard work fee in the process."
Chen Yuxi stood next to Yun Tutu with a clear stance, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this. What does it mean to earn some hard-earned money? They didn't know that the cabinet containing gold on the third floor was almost full.
“As for what you said about being at a disadvantage, I don’t think so.
Scarcity makes things valuable. Aren’t these fruits precious in our place?
If it's a rare commodity, wouldn't it be more appropriate to use it on these things?"
Li Aiping lowered her eyes. She knew that what she had just said was unpleasant to hear and that the girl in front of her was angry with her.
But who is she doing this for? It’s for the collective. It would be great if she could bring more of these good things back.
Chen Yuxi said, "Academician Li, everyone has their own responsibilities, just like I am responsible for protecting your safety and acting as your assistant, but I will not interfere in your affairs.
But don’t forget that we signed an agreement before we came here, so just do your own thing.”
"Just like Tutu, she is the leader of our team and all we have to do is obey her."
There was a hint of warning in Chen Yuxi's words. If you want to take advantage of your seniority in front of them, you should consider your own weight first.
If the higher-ups hadn't insisted on arranging such an academician to come along, the two of them could have completed the collection work. "I didn't say anything, I just made a pertinent suggestion." Li Aiping didn't expect the two juniors to be so disrespectful, but she still had to rely on them for the rest of her life, so she could only soften her tone, "Since you have your own plan, then forget it.
Just think of me as an old woman meddling in other people's affairs, and don't take it to heart."
Yuntutu, "Then let's each do our own job from now on."
I have to give some suggestions to the higher-ups when I go back. Don't cram just anyone in. Since there is such a shortage of people in this field, we should just train more people.
Yun Tutu didn't care what the other person was thinking and asked Chen Yuxi to rest first.
Seeing that the two juniors didn't care about her feelings, Li Aiping choked up.
She felt that she should have a good talk with her superiors when she returned. How could such an important matter be handed over to a young girl?
After taking a nap for an hour, Yun Tutu felt that he had finally made up for some sleep. Chen Yuxi also woke up at the same time, and the two of them walked lightly out of the tent.
As for Li Aiping, the two chose to forget about her temporarily. After all, she is old, and it would be good for her to get more sleep and make up for the sleep.
"Don't be angry with her. Sometimes when you get older, your head gets a little twisted."
Yun Tutu looked back at the tent behind him and said with a sneer, "The ones who really can't figure it out are the half-baked ones, who claim to be experts and scholars all day long but do nothing.
I will talk to Leader Wu when I get back, so don't just push anyone here, this isn't some gilded place."
Besides, at such an old age, instead of staying at home to enjoy your retirement, competing with young people for such an opportunity would be a waste of this opportunity.
As for what she said about not bringing students with her, shouldn’t that be her own problem?
Besides, there are only a few kinds of ancient plants on Earth. Is she really the only one doing research?
"There's no other way. After all, we still have to deal with some social conventions," Chen Yuxi knew that there was no such thing as integrity in this world. It was just a beautiful aspiration of mankind.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. We're all polite to each other anyway. It's fine both for you and me." Yun Tutu is not the kind of person who would swallow her anger. If this happens again next time, she will consider upgrading the car and not bringing anyone with her.
"What should we do now?" Chen Yuxi looked around the cave and found that these orcs were really cute. Hearing that they wanted to take a rest and get some sleep, the whole cave was exceptionally quiet.
The little cubs that were noisy before are now following their family members obediently.
"Last time we came here, everything was frozen. This time, let's go out and take a look." It's a rare trip here, so of course we have to walk around.
As for other things, they can be dealt with slowly later.
Chen Yuxi pulled Yun Tutu and said, "Shouldn't we wait for Academician Li?"
"She's not in good health, let her rest for a while," Yun Tutu wanted to give her ears some peace and quiet, "We have to be considerate of the elderly."
"Let's go, Sister Chen," Yun Tutu dragged Chen Yuxi out directly, "In this cave, safety is not a concern. If you are really worried, tell Amiwa and the others and ask them to take care of us later. I will give them a few more bags of salt later."
Sure enough, Amiwa agreed readily and said that he would definitely help take care of the old lady.
Following the cracks in the rocks, the two of them came out of the cave. Looking at the huge rock, Yun Tutu felt a little itchy...
