When these young men reach the age of marriage, and when those little girls get married, when they mention their special skills, stone cutter will be their most proud title.
As a result, they have skills that they rely on for survival, and they also have something that they can use to show themselves in front of outsiders to enhance their popularity.
Both parties were very satisfied with this transaction. One party exchanged some broken stones for something most useful to the Youyan tribe, while the other party exchanged some cheap cosmetics for priceless jade.
There is no telling who is right or wrong in this transaction.
Because even if you inform the other party, the things in the other party's hands are of higher value. But for them, it is just some worthless things in exchange for the most valuable items. This is enough.
Even with the blessing of the mirror, everyone can see their appearance clearly, but the beauty competition in the evening still has to be held as scheduled.
Because people are like this, their own judgment is quite unobjective, while their judgment of other people is relatively objective.
In any case, recognized beauty is the key to their selection.
Therefore, outsiders like Mai Fan and others were lucky enough to witness the largest election of the Destined Tribe because of their stay this night.
Why is this election so large? First, because there are a particularly large number of young men and women who have reached adulthood in the Destined Tribe this year.
The second reason is that they exchanged some stones for the most eye-catching thing among the Youyan tribe, a huge floor-standing fitting mirror.
With the blessing of this mirror, the beauties and handsome men of their beautiful tribe can be illuminated in the shining firelight.
During the beauty comparison process, everyone can go around in front of the floor-length mirror and show their own beauty to everyone and themselves.
This will make this beauty competition much more meaningful and brilliant.
Because they thought of some very interesting selection processes, Mai Fan and the others were very excited when they sat in the audience with the leader's daughter.
Now the people of the Youyan tribe have basically come to the center of the cave, the only large control area where they can move.
At this time, except for a small area in the center, all other places were full of people.
Someone brought a stone bench with them and sat in a row while greeting each other, waiting for today's host to preside over the biggest event in their tribe.
As expected, the host this time was hosted by a priest. Normally, the leader of their tribe would do this. Today, the high priest suddenly appeared here, making the entire tribe very curious.
Only the craftsmen who knew the inside story knew why the priest wanted to preside over this event. Therefore, when the high priest asked someone to take out the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, it caused the entire tribe to exclaim.
No wonder this time it was priests who presided over their work.
Such serious matters related to tribal renewal are usually presided over by priests.
So when the high priest explained the function of this thing to everyone, everyone cheered.
Beauty and the love of beauty are the lifelong pursuit of their entire tribe.
In this warm atmosphere, everyone started a selection competition for this candidate.
This year there are more adult men and women in their tribe than ever before.
This means that their tribe is more prosperous than in previous years, which also means that their living conditions are much better than before.
But there are more than 20 adult boys and girls, and it is indeed a difficult task to select eight of them.
Maybe people in primitive societies are simpler than imagined.
So they didn't feel any embarrassment about the selection issue. Regardless of the girl's or the boy's temperament or how they behaved, they only grasped one criterion and it represented everything.
That is to be beautiful enough, beyond the beauty of similar people.
This is the only criterion for voting by the Youyan tribe, and it is also the condition for them to seduce foreign wives and marry the most prosperous tribal boys.
And the way to vote is also very simple.
First, those who are qualified to participate in this beauty competition will step onto the stage in order to show off their beauty.
While showing off their beauty, they can rely on some external objects to enhance their beauty.
Beautiful feathers can be worn with gorgeous clothes, can be worn with jingling chains, or can be used to turn one's skin into another pattern with beautiful colors.
But today, many people have discovered that this beauty pageant is more pleasing to the eye and eye-catching than before.
They found that the lips of these young girls were more rosy than before, and their skin was more delicate than others. Even some girls with slightly light eyebrows had thick and profound eyebrows today.
So, what happened to make the people of their Youyan tribe so prominent and beautiful?
At this time, everyone has to turn their attention to the floor-to-ceiling mirror that can show people very clearly.
This is probably the influence brought by those outsiders.
And these things brought over by outsiders are really suitable for girls of color.
After all the young men and women of the appropriate age walked around the stage, they showed off their characteristics to the people in the audience.
Even if their task is completed tonight, they will return to their seats in the audience to vote for themselves or others together with other tribe members in Aiyan City.
In the Youyan tribe, everyone has a unique stone in their hand.
This was carved out of the same huge stone by the skilled craftsmen of the tribe.
On an important day like today, the size, style and even material of every stone in each of their hands are exactly the same.
And each person can only own one piece of this stone.
This is how they vote for the prettiest or most beautiful girl in the tribe.
Next, the priest will preside over the empty exhibition stand and bring up more than 20 small wooden boxes with the names of the candidates on them.
There is an entrance on the top of each small box into which such pebbles can be put.
At the bottom of each small box, there is a larger outlet that can be disassembled to shake out the contents.
Starting from the leader sitting in the first position in the first row, they will go up to the stage one by one and cast their sacred and solemn votes for the young man from the Youyan tribe who they think is the most beautiful.
