"Um… how about I give you this in exchange for that special ax?" Yang Zhang said as he offered a bag full of delicious smoked beef to the blacksmith.
The blacksmith frowned. The smell from inside the tote bag was very inviting.
"Put it on the table," the blacksmith said.
Yang Zhang put the tote bag on the table, and the blacksmith checked the inside. He was pleasantly surprised by the content. In fact, he couldn't wait to eat everything inside.
Because it was smoked beef! Real smoked beef from a normal cow that hadn't been mutated.
How'd he know the difference? Because he ate the mutated cow meat so many times, even from the smell, it was already different.
Mutated beef would have a sour taste somehow, and it wasn't the most delicious.
It had been so long since the last time he ever tasted a real beef. The blacksmith was about to take one stripe of smoked beef, but Yang Zhang snatched the tote bag quickly, "Uncle, we're trading, remember?"
