Mufeng took the sheepskin and followed him to the place where he paid the stall fee.
Muba and others carried down the bamboo basket and took off the carrying frame. The cattle took it and tied it to a tree stump. They held a few handfuls of hay and put them there. The cattle stood there docilely eating grass.
Seeing the docile appearance of the cattle, several people walked over and wanted to pet the cattle.
Dayang hurriedly stopped a few people, "They are eating food, don't touch them, they will get angry."
"Okay, we won't touch it." Several people stopped Dayang and asked how to raise scalpers.
Yao Xiaoqing looked at the tribes setting up stalls on both sides and couldn't wait to see if those people had collected rice.
She said hello to Muba and took the golden retriever to the market.
After looking at a dozen stalls in a row, I only saw animal skins, dried meat, grains, and beans.
Perhaps because of the drought, there were not many tribesmen coming to the market. It took about half an hour to browse all the stalls.
Yao Xiaoqing walked back disappointedly. When he went back, he saw that everyone had put the bamboo basket aside and stood behind the bamboo basket. Dayang was busy lighting the fire.
"These people don't even know how to set up a stall!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled and walked over, taking away the grass covering the pumpkin, revealing the bright yellow pumpkin.
The people who were standing aside watching the scalpers rushed to the bamboo basket and looked at the pumpkin curiously.
Someone reached out and touched it carefully, "What kind of food is this big one?"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Pumpkin can be eaten boiled, or cooked with corn, or fried into pancakes."
The man scratched his head and said, "Pumpkin! It's obviously yellow, why isn't it called a cucumber?"
Yao Xiaoqing, "..."
The leader of the Gongyang came over and said, "Yaoshan tribe, how did you get this pumpkin?"
Yao Xiaoqing enthusiastically stepped forward and picked up a pumpkin, "One pumpkin is exchanged for the dried meat of three sheep. If you have rare food, you can exchange it."
A person next to him sneered: "If you want to exchange a pumpkin for the jerky of three sheep, you must be crazy!"
Muba was unhappy after hearing this, "What are you talking about? I tell you, we Qingwu have already reduced the number of exchanges."
"We originally planned to exchange the dried meat of ten sheep for one pumpkin! If you don't like it, some people will!"
The man smiled and said: "Brother, I'm afraid you are talking in your sleep!"
Muba's nostrils turned upward, "Don't rush to get it later."
Leader Gongyang looked at Yao Xiaoqing, "Are you a shaman from the Yaoshan tribe?"
Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Yes! Which tribe are you from?"
The male sheep smiled and said: "I am the leader of the antelope tribe, the male sheep. I want to ask, how come you and your pumpkin are worth the dried meat of three sheep?"
"It turns out you are the leader of the Gongyang. My father said you are a good person."
Gongyang nodded happily, "Are you Yaohu's daughter?"
"Yes!" Yao Xiaoqing smiled politely, "My pumpkin can not only be eaten, but can also be used to make seeds. A lot of seeds can be harvested from one pumpkin. If planted in spring, if managed properly, one pumpkin seedling can be harvested.
Eight or nine pumpkins. The harvested pumpkin seeds can cover the entire mountain by next spring. Do you think it’s worth it?”
The male sheep imagined the scene of a mountain full of pumpkins, shook his head and sighed, "The things are good, but the difficulty is that we don't know how to grow them!"
Yao Xiaoqing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will teach you how to plant. As long as you plant according to my instructions, you will have good harvests."
A person next to me said, "You're from the Yaoshan tribe, can you open one for us to see what the pumpkin seeds look like?"
"Okay!" Yao Xiaoqing nodded cheerfully, "I'll cut one and show it to everyone."
Muba carried a smaller pumpkin out, split it in half with a machete, pointed at the pumpkin seeds inside and said, "Look, it's full of seeds. If I exchange it for the dried meat of your three sheep, there won't be much!"
The onlookers suddenly realized, "Oh! So it turns out the seeds inside are used."
Muba said happily: "Is it possible that you want to plant the whole plant?"
Everyone laughed.
The male sheep smiled and nodded, "There are quite a lot of seeds!"
At this time, Yan Yu came back with Mu Feng and saw the pumpkins in the bamboo basket, "Qing Wu, the Great Witch Tribe wants all these pumpkins."
The onlookers who were still hesitating saw that Yan Yu wanted them all, so they hurriedly grabbed a pumpkin from the bamboo basket and held it in their arms, "We also want another one."
The leader of the ram held one in each hand and said, "I'll exchange two."
Someone else shouted outside: "Leave a few of the Yaoshan tribe for us!"
Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment and looked at Yan Yu, "A basket of pumpkin seeds is enough for the Great Witch Tribe. The rest will be given to other tribes. What do you think?"
"Okay!" Yan Yu readily agreed, "You count and I'll get the dried meat."
Yao Xiaoqing pointed to the bamboo basket, "No need to count, there are forty-two pumpkins in one basket."
Yan Yu smiled and nodded, "You guys help me carry it in, and take the dried meat out at the same time."
"Okay, brother, Uncle Dashi, please bring the pumpkin in."
Dashi, Mufeng and Yanyu carried the pumpkin away together.
Gongyang said to Yao Xiaoqing: "I'm going to get the dried meat and leave my two pumpkins for me."
Yao Xiaoqing, "Just take it over and bring me the dried meat."
"Okay, I'll bring it to you when I get back." The ram happily hugged the pumpkin and squeezed out.
"Let me see, what are all these people around here for?" A short and stocky man squeezed in with two people.
When everyone saw him, they felt like seeing a wolf. They put down the pumpkin and turned around and left, not daring to come over from a distance.
"You!" Dashi and Muba stood up and glared at the three of them, "Let's go, we won't give you our things in exchange."
You looked at a few people with disdain, "Hey! Let me see, the wild dogs from the Lingque Tribe, the Sishan Tribe, the Yaoshan Tribe, and all the wild dogs are all together. Hahaha!"
"Pounce!" Muba said nothing, stepped forward and punched him.
You was beaten and took a few steps back. His eyes were filled with stars, his nose was sore and painful, and tears mixed with nosebleeds flowed out. He hurriedly covered his nose and pointed at several people fiercely, "Wait for me."
Turn around and leave.
Several people shouted: "Just wait."
The patrolling warriors of the Great Witch Tribe saw something was wrong and hurriedly went to find Yan Yu.
Halfway through, he was stopped by Pheasant and Kun. Kun scolded: "Why are you running around if you don't do your job well?"
The warrior pointed at Yao Xiaoqing and the others, "Those people are Yan Yu's friends. They had a fight with You from the Giant Bear Tribe. I went to You to call for help."
Kun waved his hand, "I understand, you go back to work, and I'll tell Yan Yu when I get back."
The warrior responded: "Yes."
Kun raised his head proudly, "Let's go, let's drive away the patrollers and hide and watch the fun!"
Gongyang came over with dried meat and saw You leading the people away. He walked over and looked at a few people and shook his head, "The people of the Giant Bear Tribe are not easy to mess with. You should quickly pack your things and go back!"
