As expected, those who came were from the Uzbek tribe, and the leader was the same strong man who came last time.
There are even many familiar faces among them, either they were here last time or they are members who have participated in the hunting conference.
When a group of Wu people saw Xu Chen, they immediately threw away their spears and clubs and ran up in a swarm, surrounding Xu Chen and saying hello excitedly.
Wuga is used by primitive people in very serious and formal situations.
Because there were no words, Xu Chen couldn't tell what it meant.
However, after attending the Wu Zhu Conference, he speculated that this Wu might be a Wu, and the Wu clan might be the Wu clan. A more reasonable name would be You Wu clan.
Represents a tribe with witches.
And those who call him "Wuga" probably think of him as a witch.
Of course, this is all Xu Chen's guess, and it doesn't matter whether it is or not, because he has no interest in being a witch or not.
There were more than thirty people from the Uzbek people coming this time, much more than last time. Almost everyone was carrying baskets on their backs, many of them were carrying rattan baskets, many of them were wearing straw sandals, and some were wearing straw sandals.
I also learned from the Uzbek people to tie their hair back with strings. The whole feeling was completely different from the last time I came here.
This is the benefit of cultural dissemination and exchange.
Xu Chen was very pleased.
Although it was just a simple gathering, under his own leadership, the savages of the surrounding primitive tribes began to undergo significant changes.
After the two groups of people met, they quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain, and a group of people couldn't wait to run directly into the kiln factory.
When they saw a row of solid stone houses and a fire kiln that was emitting thick smoke, the Uzbek people who had never been there suddenly made all kinds of ghostly cries and howling sounds, and they were very excited.
When they saw a lot of fired pottery piled under the pergola, the Uzbek people even shouted excitedly, pointing at the pottery to express their desire to exchange.
It was natural to change, but since they were guests from afar, it was necessary to notify Muba first for such a big tribal transaction, so Xu Chen arranged for two hunters to go up the mountain to notify Muba, and then asked the Uzbek people to open all the goods they brought and check them first.
.
The goods brought by the Uzbek people this time seem to be a lot, but just like those at the trading conference, they are mainly various animal skins, there are also many nuts and dried fruits, some dried plant roots, and many various kinds of messy ores.
.
A rough inventory of the leather goods included more than a hundred pieces, mostly deerskin and sheepskin, as well as more than a dozen cowhide, wolf skins, leopard skins, fox skins, etc. Among them, the most eye-catching one was a tiger skin.
Wild deer and wild sheep are small animals that are easy to obtain. They are the most important source of meat and furs for the tribe. Cow hide is thick, but it cannot be used to make clothes. It is relatively useless. Wolf skin, leopard skin, and fox skin are much less common.
Too easy to hunt, but warmer and stronger, with much higher natural value.
As for the tiger skin, it's a bit scary.
Moreover, this tiger skin is very large, three meters long including the head and tail. It is spread flat on the ground and covers an area of several square meters. The colorful fur is thick and it carries a thick fishy smell and a refreshing smell.
Heart-stopping fear.
The so-called majesty of a tiger's death is here.
Wild beasts like wolves, bears, tigers and leopards carry a fierce aura even after they die, making people afraid to approach them.
Even if there is only this piece of skin left in front of you, it is frightening to see it.
Seeing this spread out tiger skin, a group of men from the Ba tribe changed their colors and retreated. The Uzu tribe finally had a chance to turn the situation around, and they all burst out laughing proudly.
Xu Chen was frightened and happy at the same time.
Such a large piece of tiger skin can easily survive the winter when made into a quilt. It is as thick as a thick blanket.
Squatting down and inspecting carefully, I found that there were several holes in the tiger's skin. It was obviously killed. From this, it can be seen that the Wu tribe is indeed a very powerful tribe. If the Ba tribe encounters such a big tiger,
It is estimated that the group is most likely to be wiped out.
This tiger skin is undoubtedly the most valuable cargo brought by the Uzbek people this time.
As for the remaining baskets of various fragmented stones, no one cared about them and they were dumped carelessly on the open space where the mud was dried in the kiln.
Driven by professional habits, Xu Chen carefully pulled the piles of stones one by one and inspected them carefully.
The most abundant one is undoubtedly the chalcocite that was replaced last time, but this time there is also a green bornite in it.
Bornite is a miscellaneous ore, which is a symbiotic aggregate of several types of minerals including brass, pyrite, galena, chalcocite, etc. containing copper, iron, lead and other sulfide minerals. The composition is very complex, so the color is also very beautiful.
As colorful as a gem.
Primitive people collected chalcocite and used it as pigment, and bornite was used to make pigments with richer colors.
Therefore, this bornite should have been picked up by the Uzbek people and used as decoration and paint.
There was a lot of bornite, and more than a dozen pieces were found. In addition, Xu Chen also found a piece of emerald green ore. After careful identification, he found it to be malachite.
The main component of malachite is a basic copper carbonate, which is generally symbiotic with other copper-containing minerals.
Therefore, Xu Chen concluded that these chalcocite, bornite and malachite should come from the same place.
In order to clarify his conjecture, he put the three ores together and even communicated with the Uzbek people in Bidaihua, which almost confirmed this conjecture.
According to the Uzbek people, these three types of stones were indeed found in the same valley, about half a day away from the valley where the Uzbek people live.
Malachite already belongs to the ranks of gemstones. It is not cost-effective to smelt copper. It is good to keep it as a souvenir.
In addition to these copper ores, some turquoise and amber gold are also found inside, which are very eye-catching when piled together.
Especially gold, there are more than 20 pieces of gold, large and small, adding up to more than 10 kilograms.
Xu Chen was surprised. Is there a big gold mine nearby?
According to geological conditions, it is indeed easy to pick up gold in places with high mountains and abundant running water, but only if there are mineral deposits.
At present, he has exchanged gold from three tribes. According to the activity range of primitive people, the gold must be within a day or two of their habitat, which means that the furthest distance from the Ba tribe cannot be more than thirty kilometers.
If he had suddenly encountered so many natural gold mines before traveling through time, Xu Chen would have been ecstatic to find this gold mine.
But right now, apart from being beautiful and heavy, this gold is really of no use.
There are several baskets of dried fruits, nuts and dried plant roots left, which are the most common foods.
After seeing the goods brought by the Uzbek people, Xu Chen began to discuss with them which goods should be replaced.
Pottery is naturally the first choice of the Uzbek people. A group of people excitedly pointed at the cups, dishes, pots and jars placed under the pergola, and made big gestures to express their desire.
All are impossible.
It's a seller's market now.
It takes at least ten days to make pottery in a kiln, from mixing the clay to making the clay and collecting firewood to fire the kiln, and you have to keep an eye on the fire during the process. You must not be careless day and night, and you are even more nervous when it rains.
Although these pottery is really worthless, for the extremely low creativity and practical value of primitive people, it cannot be simply measured by leather goods, food and stones.
Because leather goods and stone food are available everywhere, and pottery is the only one in the world, and there is no semicolon.
In addition, the Uzbek tribe is not the only one who wants to get pottery. The other four tribes must have been preparing supplies recently and want to come over to exchange for them. Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Chen to exchange all of them for the Uzbek tribe.
However, since it is a business, Xu Chen will not refuse outright, but will bargain with them and agree on the exchange of equivalent items to provide a smooth channel for future transactions.
Of course, primitive people couldn't bargain purely with language and price. They all used things to make gestures with each other.
The most important thing is that these primitive people can't count, let alone addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, so this bargaining is particularly heartbreaking.
The other savage took out a piece of sheepskin, then pointed at the largest clay pot and gestured: "Guangga!"
Xu Chen's face turned black, and a group of Ba people even jumped together.
Seeing the anger of the Ba people, the Uu people themselves knew that it was too much, so they changed to a smaller clay pot and pointed at it.
"Beat!"
Seeing the Uzbek people being so provocative, Feng and the others couldn't hold back their anger, so they rolled up their sleeves and started beating them.
"Back!"
Xu Chen's face twitched and he stopped Feng and the others, then went to the pergola and took out a pottery bowl and placed it on the sheepskin.
Now the Uzbek people gave up and shook their heads with anger on their faces. They criticized the pottery bowl for being too small.
These leather goods are already the entire inventory that the Uzbek people can bring out.
The entire Uu ethnic group is divided into more than ten caves to live in. The number of men, women and old people is not clear. If you want to distribute it fairly, everyone must have it. Judging from the demonstration of the Ba ethnic group at the witchcraft conference, clay pots are the
The most useful thing is that the bigger the pottery pot is for boiling water, the more naturally it will be cooked so that everyone can eat it. Although bowls are also very important, the demand is greater. They think that they can exchange leather goods for all the pottery at once.
.
Naturally, Xu Chen would not easily grant their wish.
What's more, the Ba people don't have so much pottery to exchange for them.
Even if there were, Xu Chen would not do this. Otherwise, if the transaction is completed in one go, how can he do long-term business in the future?
But exchanging a sheepskin for a pottery bowl is indeed a bit bullying.
Of course, from the immediate value point of view, pottery should be more valuable than leather goods, but it has not yet reached the level of necessity. It is already winter, and the warmth value of leather goods is more urgent and important to the impoverished primitive people who eat raw meat and sleep in caves.
In other words, the Uzbek people did pay a sufficient price in exchange for pottery, and their attitude was very sincere.
So Xu Chen asked the potter to bring another pottery bowl and put it on the sheepskin.
"One skin of ga, exchange it for two bowls of ga!"
Xu Chen looked very serious, raising one finger and two fingers at the same time.
"Moga Moga!"
A group of Uzbek people shook their heads collectively.
Although they don't know how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide, according to their simplest and simplest mathematical knowledge, the amount they exchanged is definitely not enough, or maybe the Uzbek tribe leader had told them to exchange for the largest and most pottery before leaving.
