This complete set of outdoor cooking tools, including lighters, fruit knives, charcoal, bamboo skewers, etc., all from home, is enough for a total of one hundred yuan.
After fixing the stove, Han Kongque looked up and saw that the young man named Keir was still there.
At this time, the young man looked at the travel bags that Han Kongque and the others were carrying, his eyes were already very strange.
Keir saw packages of chicken wings, ribs, sausages, beef, mutton, pork belly, various fish balls and meatballs, croaker, squid, cuttlefish, shrimp, etc. being taken out. Now these large backpacks were in his
In his eyes, it has become Tinkerbell's magical pocket, as if it has everything in it.
Han Kongque didn't know what this young man was thinking, because for him, chicken wings, sausages, mutton and other food could be bought in one trip to the supermarket.
Han Peacock often goes on treasure hunting expeditions in the wild, so he always has a large amount of supplies around him, and meat is the most important, and it is all processed. The things he buys usually have no skin and few bones, so they taste better when eaten in the wild.
More convenient.
These meat products are all cleaned. When eating, use a knife to open the mouth, and then marinate it with sauce, so that it tastes better when grilled.
Things like chicken wings and fish balls cost more than 10 yuan a pound. A family of three spent a total of about 50 yuan, which is enough.
Seeing Han Kongque and the others packing small bags and taking out enough food for more than a dozen people, everyone around them who was eating or preparing to eat looked over.
When Han Peacock and the others lit an open fire and began to smoke and roast rabbits and whole chickens, it became even more attractive.
"Can you exchange these foods? I can give you a molar, a well-preserved molar." It was the same young man named Kiel just now. At this time, he took out a huge tooth from a backpack. Han
The peacock recognized it at a glance. It was a molar tooth from a mammoth.
"How to exchange?" Han Peacock asked with a smile.
"One molar tooth is exchanged for ten packs of chicken wings." Kil looked at the food that Han Peacock and the others took out. The chicken wings were packed in bags weighing one kilogram each. As for the other beef and mutton, Keel didn't ask because that was more expensive.
"Ten packs? Even if you buy it in our country, it will cost more than one hundred yuan. If I bring it into the Arctic Circle, the shipping cost will be at least ten times higher, which is one thousand yuan. If you add in the unknown harvest left here, it will still cost more than 100 yuan."
Can increase the value tenfold.
So, these ten packs of chicken wings are worth at least a thousand dollars. Do you think one molar can be worth a thousand dollars?" Han Peacock smiled and calculated the value of his food.
After hearing Han Peacock's argument, many people gathered around. They all looked at Han Peacock with great interest. Of course, the most important thing was the food around Han Peacock and the others.
Don’t think that Korean Peacock is charging exorbitant prices. Not to mention the food shipped from China, even if it is brought from the local area, the price will increase several times when it gets here.
Because there is enough food, these treasure diggers can stay here for a few more days, but without food, they can only leave immediately.
Therefore, enough food means more harvest. During this period, as long as one more mammoth fossil is found, there will be more than a dozen molars and two thick tusks.
If possible, the huge and well-preserved bones of the mammoth would be enough to pay for the food. So here, there are bones piled up everywhere. The value of these bones obviously cannot be compared with a bag of food.
"Exchange three packs. Chicken wings are not that expensive. If it's beef, you can exchange one pack." Keer said after being silent for a while.
"Three packs of chicken wings? One molar is not worth three hundred dollars, so you can only exchange for one pack." Han Peacock said, shaking his head.
"I'll exchange a pack." Before Kil could say anything, someone next to him couldn't help but say.
Han Peacock said with a smile: "Okay, we don't have much food brought. If you want to exchange, please do it as soon as possible, first come first served."
While talking, Han Peacock took out a pack of chicken wings and threw it to a big man. The big man smiled and still picked up a molar.
Looking at the molars, which are more than 30 centimeters high, and can be used as a small stool, Han Peacock sat the ivory on his butt, and immediately picked up another pack of chicken wings happily to see who else wanted to exchange it.
.
"Is there any exchange? A pack of chicken wings can keep you looking for one more day, and the harvest of this day may be a mammoth fossil." Han Peacock immediately became excited after receiving the harvest. It seems that he still made money from the transaction.
quick.
Of course, no one here thinks that Han Kongque has a bad heart. After all, after paying for the food, he can no longer stay here, and not being able to stay here means that he is insulated from the mammoth tusks that may be found.
After paying the price, you will naturally get something. This is a reasonable thing. These Russians here understand this very well.
Ancient people killed mammoths for meat, and in today's Russia, local people search for the tusks of these extinct ancient beasts in exchange for money.
And what was the money used for? Is it not to improve their living conditions?
Therefore, due to the strong demand and high prices for these precious ivory, illegal mining has been repeatedly banned in the local area.
After being frozen in the frozen soil of Siberia for thousands of years, the tusks of these ancient beasts have become treasures in exchange for wealth for the people living here.
This makes the people here not want to do anything else at all. What can be more refreshing than exchanging ivory for large quantities of supplies?
A few years ago, a local villager in Yukagar found the remains of a young mammoth near a frozen cliff. It was named "Yuka".
As more and more people join the search, more and more mammoth tusks are being found.
Some mammoth ivory hunters scour the coastlines of Arctic Ocean islands every year.
Attracted by high prices, hundreds of people are now engaged in searching for mammoth tusks along the Arctic Ocean, and people search along the long coastline every spring.
Although they bring a lot of food every time they come here, due to transportation capacity, the food is always limited. In the past years, they have never encountered anyone who exchanged the food they brought for ivory.
The people who can come here are all people who can face the quota environment, endure hardships, and want to make a fortune. How could they exchange the opportunity of finding treasures for some worthless ivory and bones?
It is because of this that food is more expensive than ivory on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. But outside of here, ivory will never be exchanged for food.
"Hey, boy, how much food can I exchange for this?" Vladimir Putapov picked up a piece of prehistoric bison skull from a pile of mixed bones.
This pile of bones also includes mammoth tusks. Behind him is a temporary hut. There are many such huts near Basta Lake.
Ivory hunters are eating under the watchful eye of mammoths. As their annual five-month search comes to an end, their food supplies are nearly exhausted.
During this period, men usually lose more than 20 pounds (about 9 kilograms) or more, so any bit of food at this time is precious.
"Ox bone?" Han Peacock's eyesight was pretty good, so he immediately recognized what it was.
"If the bones of prehistoric bison were not precious, we would not have brought them back," Vladimir Putapov said with a smile.
Vladimir Putapov is very famous and prestigious in this generation, and this camp was established because of his presence.
"Bring me a piece of beef and I'll exchange it for this ivory." At this time, another Russian said.
His name is Lev Niklavich, and he is also a very famous ivory hunter.
In the northern part of the Yakutia region of Russia, many people rely on hunting for mammoth tusks to make a living. Among the more famous people are Vladimir Putapov, one of them, and the ivory hunter
Lev Niklavich, this is also a legend.
There is an image of a mammoth drawn in his notebook, and it is said that many places where mammoths may be found are recorded in it. Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary ivory hunters, his notebooks are just treasure maps.
A huge cow bone and a broken ivory, both bones were well preserved, so Han Peacock didn't say much and just handed over two packs of beef.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I can still eat beef now. The young man is very smart and actually exchanged the meat for ivory." Lev Niklavich said very happily.
"There are still half a month until the end of this search. If nothing changes, we can spend another month here. During this period, many teams will not have enough food. If you still have enough food, we can
Exchange." At this time, Vladimir Putapov had already handed the beef in his hand to a man next to him.
Han Peacock smiled and said: "I did bring enough food, but I don't know how to exchange it?"
"Of course, you don't need this price for large-scale exchanges. Three packs of chicken wings are exchanged for one molar, one pack of beef is exchanged for one molar, one elephant bone is exchanged for one pack of chicken wings, and one ivory is exchanged for thirty packs of beef. There are relatively few prehistoric cow bones.
"Exchanging a bone for a pack of beef is not too much, right?" Lev Niklavich said.
"If you don't want to exchange, we can just go to the Jena River and get enough supplies." Vladimir Putapov also said.
Han Peacock frowned. He knew that on the coast of the Arctic Ocean in northern Siberia, ivory hunters had harvested their harvests, and they often walked with their tusks until they reached the Jena River.
They will wait for the transport ship on the Jena River to transport these found treasures. (~^~)
