Chapter 246 Big deal

More than an hour later, all the snacks on the table were removed, and the horses and sheep that had just been slaughtered were brought up.

Today there are only men in the yurt, and most of them are older. They should be highly respected people in this tribe.

Arsha first recited blessings in the language of the Hasa people for a while, then picked up the sheep's head and handed it to Li Wen.

Li Wen cut off a piece of cheek meat and handed it to the host of the banquet, Arsha, who took it with both hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

After cutting the meat, Li Wen handed the sheep head back again, completing the set of etiquette.ωωw..net

After Arsha's introduction, Li Wen was shocked by today's reception.

Li Wen's treatment today was astonishingly good. The whole horse feast and the whole sheep feast were put on the table. It can be said that he was full of sincerity.

Drinking kumiss and chewing meat, don't live such a comfortable life.

It took a long time to eat a meal. Li Wen looked at his watch and it took three hours to finish eating.

It was already around 5pm after dinner, but it didn’t matter, it didn’t get dark until around 8pm here!

After the things on the table were removed, Li Wen and Arsha began to discuss the deal.

"Arxiatou, thank you very much for your hospitality today. Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied with this transaction." Li Wen picked his teeth with an animal bone toothpick and said.

"Then I would like to thank Old Guest Li for his generosity." Arsha and the men sitting next to him all looked happy after hearing this.

Because Arsha was literate, Li Wen didn't say much and just took out the receipts for the supplies he could provide.

Written above are the things these grassland people are in urgent need of, including tea, salt, cloth, soybeans, iron products, flashlights, and various daily necessities.

However, Li Wen did not write down the quantity or price of these things. These will have to be discussed in detail after Arsha has finished reading.

At this time, Arsha was so happy that she almost fainted, and the hand holding the list was trembling.

"Old guest Li, you can provide all these supplies, how much tea can you provide?" Arsha suddenly raised his head and asked excitedly.

"The ready-made tea cakes on the car can provide four hundred kilograms, but if you want more, I can transfer the goods. It's no problem if it's more than a thousand kilograms. It can be here in two days at most." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Can we still transfer goods?" Alsha thought that Li Wen could only have one truckload of goods at most, but he didn't expect that Li Wen could still transfer goods.

Li Wen nodded and asked Alsha to talk about the cattle, sheep and other supplies that his tribe could provide.

When it came to the price, Arsha couldn't bid because he didn't see Li Wen's goods in detail.

Without further ado, Li Wen took everyone out and took out the prepared supplies from the carriage.

Li Wen's tricycle was modified after arriving in this era. It is 2.4 meters long, almost the same as a small truck.

Originally a tricycle for hauling goods, the large 72-volt 100-amp battery is very powerful, making it effortless to haul two thousand kilograms of goods at a time.

Because the truck is usually empty, and only a few hundred meters away during transactions, the truck is full, so Li Wen always overloads the truck by 1,000 kilograms.

Three thousand kilograms of supplies filled the open space in front of Alsha's yurt, attracting children from the entire tribe to watch.

Of course adults also want to come and watch, but they don't dare. This is not a people's society.

"It's really great." Arsha looked at the supplies on the ground with excitement on his face.

"Chief Arsha, please take a look at the goods! Let's discuss the price after seeing the goods." Li Wen looked at the excited Arsha, fearing that he might have a myocardial infarction due to excitement.

Alsha and a few people began to check the supplies brought by Li Wen. After five or six minutes, the two reluctantly took their eyes away from the goods.

"Old guest Li, your goods are very exquisite, and our tribe really wants to trade with you.

"How about two pieces of tea cake and three iron bowls in exchange for a sheep?" Arsha finished speaking and eagerly waited for Li Wen's reply.

After listening to this, Li Wen's expression almost lost control, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

"Young man, no wonder so many wealthy businessmen in Xishan Province originally came from here." Li Wen complained in his heart.

Don't be too evil-minded. A tea brick only weighs three kilograms and is worth only two yuan.

Li Wen still had a compassionate heart and sympathized with these Mongols.

"No, no, no, how can this work?" Li Wen waved his hand and said.

Arsha's expression changed when he heard Li Wen's refusal. He thought Li Wen thought his offer was too high.

"Then Mr. Li, how do you want to trade?" Arsha said frustratedly.

"Chief Alsha, the price you gave me seems too insincere."

"Let me tell you my bid!"

"Three pieces of tea cakes are exchanged for a sheep, four enamel bowls are exchanged for a sheep, two large iron pots are exchanged for a cow, two flashlights are exchanged, and 20 batteries are exchanged for a horse." Li Wen gave his quotation.

"real?"

Alsha couldn't believe his ears. There was actually a Daxia businessman who took the initiative to lower prices.

"Yeah!" Li Wen smiled and nodded.

Arsha excitedly shared Li Wen's bid with the tribesmen on the side, and suddenly there were bursts of exclamations.

Among the things Li Wen brought today were 400 jins of tea, 200 jins of salt, 10 pieces of good cloth, 20 pieces of defective cloth, 2,000 jins of various grains, and the rest were some electrical appliances and daily necessities.

After calculation, these items were exchanged for more than 200 sheep, more than 20 cattle, and five horses.

Electrical appliances were still very popular. Li Wen took out ten flashlights and Arsha didn't even bother to bargain. He directly took five young and strong horses.

After the transaction, Arsha was like a donkey in heat, jumping up and down, extremely happy.

"Old guest Li, we grassland people cannot do without tea. When will you come back? We will buy tea in large quantities.

There are also soybeans, cloth, ironware and this lighting thing, we all want it in large quantities." Arsha asked excitedly.

"Chief Alsha, in two days! I will come again in two days and bring more tea and food.

However, the number of sheep in this transaction is a bit too much, so let’s bring in more donkeys, oxen and horses later!

Of course, it would be better if you could give me a few more camels in exchange." Li Wen said with a wry smile as he looked at the sheep in front of him.

"That's great. Thank you, Old Guest Li. You are what you Daxia people call timely rain." Arsha pulled Li Wen's arm and felt excited.

After trading the supplies, Li Wen didn't go back directly. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but that Arsha wouldn't let him leave and he had to stay in the tribe for one night.

After dark, the herdsmen who were grazing outside returned to the tribe one after another. They were very happy to hear that merchants had come to the tribe today.

In the evening, Arman organized a bonfire dinner to entertain Li Wen.

Ethnic minorities are indeed good at singing and dancing. After the bonfire was lit, singing and dancing were everywhere, and Li Wen was also led to dance.

Li Wen was arranged into a separate yurt, which should be a guest room. The area was not large, only a dozen square meters.

Li Wen was getting ready to go to bed when a woman's voice came from outside the door. Li Wen got up and opened the door of the yurt.
