"When you come with us, it's not too late to talk about future cooperation."
When he said this, the stall owner had already begun to actively clean up the stall and re-wrapped his treasures in furoshiki. He collected these beautiful and fragile things very carefully, even if
Mai Fan told him that these fragile-looking things were actually very tough, and he treated them with the same caution as before. It could be seen that the vendor cherished the results of his adventures, even if he didn't need them.
That is also his priceless treasure.
After solving one or two obvious problems, Mai Fan lost interest in this personal market.
Because the things produced here are weird and weird, and have all kinds of functions, but for Mai Fan, who has nothing in short supply, there is nothing precious enough for him to trade in person.
Similarly, the scattered teammates had the same feeling as Mai Fan. They also felt a little bored after shopping and seeing too many new items.
Almost at the same time, all six people arrived at their original gathering point.
Everyone, you looked at me and I looked at you, smiling tacitly.
When a few people came out of the personal market, except for one or two small pendants like decorations, they had nothing in exchange for anything.
"Then shall we go to the Kui tribe to help? After all, others have taken care of us for so many days with good food and drink. Apart from those beasts, we have no other feedback to the Kui tribe."
As for those gloves, they were completely ignored by Mai Fan.
In their view, things are just toys they use to entertain children.
All members of the Kekui tribe, from top to bottom, are considerate and kind to them.
The simple tribe is more likely to be taken care of by Mai Fan and a few people.
Go back and help each other, see what the shortcomings are, and then make up for them. It can be regarded as the goodwill left behind by their friendship and living together for so many days.
When a few people returned to the Kui tribe, they found that the construction here was better than they imagined, and their help was basically no longer needed.
Seeing them come back from the personal market so early, several soldiers who had already become familiar with Mai Fan and the others were a little surprised.
"Is there really nothing that catches your eye? Is your personal harvest this year so low?"
"Actually, that's not the case." Mai Fan explained: "I found a few good vintage herbs that can help heal wounds and prevent infection.
There is also a kind of neurological anesthesia and drug that you often use when dealing with large beasts. I also found a few sharp iron tools, and there was a huge stone with some large ores with good composition mixed in it.
If people in your tribe have a way to melt this ore into molten iron, take it with you and use a mold to create a model that you often use. Pour the iron juice into it, and when it solidifies, it will become
The most common sharp metal weapons here."
Mai Fan kept talking about what he had seen and heard in the market, while the mouths of the soldiers listening to his chat were opening wider and wider.
If you choose any of these things, they are already good things that are beyond their reach.
Good guy, after Mai Fan saw them, he only said that these things were okay.
He hadn't finished speaking yet, but the soldiers who heard what he was talking about couldn't bear it any longer.
He knew that it was extremely rude to interrupt someone when they were talking, but he couldn't help but cut off Mai Fan's words.
"Friend, slow down, friend, if you don't mind, can you tell us the location of these things? We need to report to our elders and captains to see if there is any intention to purchase these things this year. If so, let them
First go to a personal stall to buy a batch.
Isn’t it unnecessary? When we went to trade with the big tribe, did the other party control the prices of these materials?”
Mai Fan didn't mind the other party's interruption, but he was curious about another thing.
“Why do large transactions command higher prices than these piecemeal transactions?
I thought the price of group transactions between large tribes was generally lower."
At this time, another voice came from behind him and answered Mai Fan's words.
Mai Fan turned his head and found that it was the future leader of the tribe, walking towards them carrying the little girl who was very familiar to him.
"Foreign friends, things are not as simple as you think. It is precisely because our tribe is too powerful that people from other tribes who control some scarce resources will be more cautious when trading with us, because in
In their view, if one tribe is too strong, it will not bring any benefit to the balance of the entire region.
No small tribe wants to be annexed by a large tribe, even if this large tribe, like our tribe, has no ambitions for external expansion.
In the annual trade, when our Kui tribe shows greater strength, the people of these small and medium-sized tribes will be very vigilant. When these tribes who have salt, iron or weapon forging skills in their hands trade with us,
Some prices and output will be appropriately controlled.
This is the unspoken rule in this tribe. It is also a way to maintain an inexplicable balance between the large tribe and the small tribe.
Therefore, even if it is a good year, people in our tribe do not dare to take it lightly.
Once you show strength beyond ordinary people's imagination, the subsequent transactions will not be too smooth."
If this is the case, Mai Fan grasped the key point very keenly: "Are the people of the Wind Wolf clan all idiots? They are also a large tribe like yours. Every time they come here, they will provoke you first.
Exposing all your strength to the eyes of these small and medium-sized tribes, what benefits will this bring to both of you?
Moreover, the disputes in previous years usually ended with their side winning the final victory, so wouldn't it mean that their shortcomings would make them even less advantageous in terms of exchange."
Speaking of this, the captain of the Kui tribe was also very helpless: "The people of the Wind Wolf tribe don't know whether it's a matter of food or water and soil. Their behavior is so different from our tribe.
Every chief in their tribe is warlike, and their warriors and even ordinary people have fiery personalities.
It’s not like the leader of our tribe hasn’t discussed this issue with their leader before. What do you think their leader said?
They said that since they wouldn’t give it to them, they would find a way to rob it.”
