For any organization, personnel selection and mobility are top priorities.
Under Lux's command, the private army was carefully selected by her from the reserve soldiers, the mages were "helped" selected by the demon seekers, and the clerks who were then responsible for helping maintain order in Forsbarrow and guiding Forsbarrow's reforms
, then Lux needs to teach and take the test in person.
Originally, Lux didn't have the capital to do this - Lux, who raised the Archon and the private army, really didn't have any more money before the new income came into her pocket. She had to buy food for this autumn.
Just reserve some funds!
Therefore, she could only grit her teeth and choose to be a clerk among those who had family wealth since childhood.
But at this time, Ino, who was in Frostport, brought back a letter through Ivar. The letter described in detail the Avarosan people's views on life during this first Freljord trade.
Desire for supplies.
For this trade, the bulk of the trade was supposed to be oats exchanged for furs.
These oats are not for human consumption, nor are they used to make wine, but are used as special feed to help the Enuk calves survive the weakness of the weaning period, so that they can survive the first Breath of Anivia, so before
During the negotiations, Ino would say "Avarosa needs oats in the winter."
The daily necessities accompanying the team were actually a flash of inspiration from Lux, an attempt she made after remembering the huge pressure when Zaun faced Piltover - however, this attempt brought quite a surprise.
of harvest.
Most of the products that come with the team have received a mediocre response. Take combs as an example. The Avarosan people also have their own combs. Although they are not as consistent as Demacia's combs in terms of width between teeth and are delicate and easy to use, these combs are ground out of animal horns.
A comb can meet their daily needs for combing their hair, so there is really no need to spend extra money to buy it.
After all, the Avarosans really didn't have much leftover.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the products they brought here to buy had a mediocre response, but the tea and tobacco leaves that were brought to the intelligence team stationed in Ningshuang Port as supplementary supplies became absolute hot sellers.
Although these things are used by caravan members and intelligence teams, the Avarosans are very interested in them. Many young people even specially prepared special prey in exchange for a ball of tea leaves, or
A bunch of tobacco!
……………………
Speaking of the popularity of tobacco and tea among the Avarosa tribe, this is also a very coincidental thing.
Although the Freljord has a long history, tea and tobacco are not produced here, and the Freljordians have not been exposed to these things at all, although most Freljordians cook food.
, I will also take the initiative to add some leaves and roots of plants, but drinking tea has never happened before.
Well, in fact, even in Demacia, the trend of drinking tea is not very popular - after all, the origin of tea is Ionia. Before the Ionian trade began to spread on the sea in the past few years, tea was originally
It's a rarity.
However, there is one person in Forsbarrow who likes tea very much, and this person is none other than Sona.
As one of the three giants of Forsbarrow, Sona, who is responsible for culture and art, has always been a trendsetter for the Dharma Master and the Forsbarrow Army.
Different from the kind but admirable Lux and the serious and methodical Ino, Sona is undoubtedly the most "people-friendly" among the three giants. It is difficult for everyone to imitate Lux, and they also have some feelings for Ino.
Subtle fear, but rarely a sense of distance when facing Sona.
Therefore, Sona can always subtly guide some value orientations and fashion trends, and her love of drinking tea has made many Dharma protectors and Forsbarrow soldiers accept this wonderful drink.
Drinking tea can soothe the mind, so like incense, it is of great benefit to the caster's learning; in the cold winter, a cup of hot tea can drive away the cold and make people feel warm from the inside out.
However, although tea is accepted, the price of tea is really unacceptable to most people.
Although it is said that Sarah Fortune, the pirate queen of Bilgewater, under the leadership of Lux, cooperated with the Shadowstream sect to transport a large number of Ionia's specialties to Vazuan, and then sold them uniformly here, they changed hands several times.
After that, even loose pieces of tea foam were fetched astonishingly in Demacia - what Sona brought to Forsbarrow was her personal treasure!
If it weren't for the fact that the several intelligence teams stationed in the Freljord were living a hard life, with heavy tasks and tired food, even Ino wouldn't be able to lose face and ask Sona for some tea leaves.
In this way, tea, as an important spiritual food, was sent from Forsbarrow to Freljord several times when Ivar delivered letters. For the intelligence teams stationed in several important port strongholds, it ignited a
Smoke, boil a pot of water, brew a pot of strong tea, take a few sips while the tea is still cold, then quickly write today's diary, drink the tea in one gulp, and fall asleep peacefully in the fragrance of the tea -
—This is their most valuable way to relax at night.
In this way, tea has become a special benefit for personnel stationed abroad. In the eyes of the Freljord people, drinking tea and smoking are just some insignificant customs of warm-blooded people, and no one cares about it.
So, how was tea discovered by the Avarosans?
This is mainly due to a coincidence.
Just when the trade in Freljord was about to begin, because there were occasionally some trade details that needed to be dealt with and discussed (such as the reception of caravans), Ashe had found the intelligence team in Ningshuang Port several times.
.
Once, when the exchange between the two parties was relatively late, the leader of the Ningshuang Port Intelligence Team wanted to have a cup of tea, so he was polite to Ai Xi.
And Ai Xi also drank a little politely.
After drinking a cup of tea, Ai Xi, who was of Hanbing blood, was surprised to find that at this moment, she felt much more comfortable.
Ashe, who received this unexpected surprise, said nothing on the spot. After discussing the reception, he returned to his mother's camp and told Tryndamere about his experience, focusing on the magical tea.
For Ashe, tea was a novelty, but for Tryndamere, he listened.
Then, the next day, Tryndamere, who had no other tasks, left the Frost Harbor with his long knife. When he returned in the evening, he was dragging a knife behind him that weighed at least two thousand pounds and was almost drained of blood.
The white bear.
Ignoring everyone's shocked looks, Tryndamere dragged the white bear to the tent where the intelligence team was located and placed it in front of the team leader.
"It." Tryndamere, as always, cherished words like gold, "In exchange for tea."
The dumbfounded intelligence team leader contributed all his share, and since then, tea and love have had some wonderful connections in Avarosa.
