Chapter 224 Didn't bring enough fur? Can you sell it on credit?
The warm treatment of the elder brother made the leader of the Sheep Tribe suddenly calm down from his guilty conscience.
He was no longer in a hurry to leave, but stopped to look at the original lei front cap worn by the senior brother and the two gloves hung around his neck with a rope.
Then he danced and asked the senior brother if they could exchange for these two things.
To show his sincerity, he took out a pottery bowl from the pile of pottery he had just exchanged.
This is obtained in exchange for five small sheepskins or two large sheepskins.
The eldest brother had received instructions from the Son of God a few days ago, saying that pottery is a very durable thing. These tribes have exchanged it several times. After the tribe has stock, they will no longer exchange food for pottery.
Already.
In order to maintain this primitive trade, exploit several nearby tribes, and lay the foundation for the slowly expanding salt policy, it is necessary to constantly develop new things to allow people from these tribes to exchange and transform them.
Be poorer.
The leader of the Sheep Tribe will pay attention to the gloves and hats worn by the Qingque Tribe. In addition to their own needs for this due to freezing and cracking of their hands due to raising sheep, they will frequently penetrate the Qingque Tribe with their senior brother.
Pull out your gloves again, and it doesn't matter if you hold on to your hat from time to time.
Gloves and hats made of animal skins are what Han Cheng decided to sell to these tribes who would come this winter.
The weather is so cold, it's a good time to wear a pair of gloves and a hat to keep warm.
As for the people of these tribes not making exchanges because of the price, this...
This did not exist, because what Han Cheng asked for in exchange was not necessarily the food they relied on to survive, but also a large amount of furs.
Of course they wouldn't let these tribesmen trade food for gloves or hats, but it wouldn't matter if they exchanged them for furs.
As the uses of fur are constantly being developed, the Qingque tribe now has a huge demand for fur.
Not to mention the rest, the bedding alone requires a lot.
Developing two more things for trading is also beneficial to the Qingque tribe.
The leader of the Sheep Tribe thought that he was being very generous by exchanging a pottery bowl for a hat and gloves. However, to his surprise, the man who just now spoke to them with a smile and told them to come at any time.
The man who took the salt shook his head.
Looking at the neighboring tribe leader who touched the hat on his head and the gloves hanging around his neck, and then pointed at the pottery bowl and raised two fingers to himself, the leader of the Sheep Tribe felt very angry.
He thought that in this exchange, they suffered a big loss.
"%#......%"
He was dancing and bargaining like a big brother.
But the senior brother, who is extremely generous in salt, is surprisingly stingy when faced with the hat and gloves made of fur. He will exchange a bowl for a hat or a bowl for a pair of gloves for a very high price.
Be willing to let go.
After some bargaining, the leader of the Sheep Tribe became even more angry.
In his opinion, such hats and gloves do not require much fur, but the people of this tribe want them to exchange two bowls that cost a lot of fur. This is really unacceptable!
"￥#WC"
He said angrily to his senior brother, then turned around angrily while holding the pottery bowl in his hand, meaning he would not change it.
The eldest brother now looks like a profiteer. After seeing the business collapse, he was not anxious at all.
He called to the leader of the sheep tribe, then took off the hat on his head and put it on the leader of the sheep tribe while it was still hot.
He also carefully tied the ropes under the hat ears on both sides to the chin of the leader of the sheep tribe.
The eldest brother's actions were very gentle, and he had never been so gentle when treating his own spouse.
The leader of the sheep tribe refused at first, but as the warmth spread, he soon stopped struggling.
The ears that were sore due to being exposed to the cold air were firmly protected by the warm 'hat ears', which were pressed against the cheeks. They felt a little cold, and then there was some itching feeling, but
No matter what, this is an extremely comfortable feeling.
It's so comfortable that even the leader of the sheep tribe is reluctant to take it off!
The senior brother took off the gloves hanging from his own neck and put them on the neck of the leader of the sheep tribe. He picked up the leader of the sheep tribe, who had many dry and cracked hands because he did not wash his hands frequently and did not have gloves to protect him. He carefully put them on.
.
Another kind of warmth quickly enveloped a pair of cold, numb hands.
The leader of the sheep tribe had bright eyes. He tried to curl his hands continuously. He felt that the thing made of fur was very soft and did not affect the curling of his hands.
A pair of hands that had not been warmed much since the beginning of winter apart from being placed in the crotch of trousers or in the arms of a spouse, could feel the warmth from this small thing made of fur.
Everyone in the Sheep Tribe couldn't help but become curious and expectant when they saw their leader enjoying himself. Is this thing really so good?
Facts have proved that these two things are so good that the leader of the sheep tribe doesn't want to pick them off.
He hesitated for a while and then took off his hat. The cold air made him shiver uncontrollably. His skin that had just felt some warmth felt even colder, especially the two ears with frostbite.
He took his hat back and brought two pottery bowls to his senior brother.
Pottery is already very common in the Qingque tribe. What they need more is fur, so the senior brother pushed back the two bowls brought by the leader of the Sheep tribe.
This made the leader of the Sheep Tribe extremely puzzled.
In order to exchange for this thing, we had such a fierce argument just now and insisted on using two pottery bowls to exchange for it. Why don't you want it now? Could it be that this guy's conscience has discovered it?
Of course, the elder brother didn't realize it because of his conscience. He pointed to the hat on the head of the sheep tribe leader, and pointed to the bowl held by the sheep tribe leader, patted the sheepskin wrapped around him, and then raised one palm
, stretch out all five fingers, which means that one hat needs five pieces of lambskin.
He patted the sheepskin wrapped around his body, made a big gesture, and then stretched out two fingers to indicate that he could use two large sheepskins to replace it.
At the same time, he said some words to assist.
The eldest brother, who likes to exchange the less precious things of his own tribe for many things of other tribes, also felt some trouble at this time.
In their tribe, if you want to express the number of things, just use the numbers taught by Shenzi like 'one, two, three, four, five,...' and just say them directly. When doing transactions with these tribes, you only need to
Maybe it's better than fingers. When there are too many things and fingers are not enough, you still need to use small stones and sticks, which is really troublesome.
The leader of the Sheep Tribe could not understand the meaning of "five" and "two" in the elder brother's mouth, but he could understand the fingers extended by the elder brother.
After understanding what the elder brother meant, the leader of the sheep tribe seemed a little frustrated, because all the sheepskins they brought this time were used to exchange for pottery, but the leader of the neighboring tribe asked to exchange the sheepskins for what they called "
Hats and gloves, they really can't get them now.
It seems I can only wait until next time to exchange it.
If heavy snow falls, they may not be able to have these two things during the entire cold season.
This made him very embarrassed.
He thought for a while, then reluctantly took off his hat and gloves, handed them to the senior brother, and expressed his feelings to the senior brother.
He originally thought that according to the character of the tribal leader, he would definitely take back his hat and gloves, and barter on the spot was the method they adopted.
Unexpectedly, the leader smiled and put on his hat and gloves again, and then told him that he could take these two things back first, and he would exchange the sheepskin belts for these two things when he comes next time.
Just go up.
After some thinking, the leader of the Sheep Tribe was surprised and delighted when he understood what the senior brother meant.
He raised his gloved hand, touched the hat on his head, then walked over and hugged the senior brother hard, and put his forehead on the senior brother's shoulder, pressing it hard to express his joy.
and moved.
Then they beat their chests and assured the senior brother that they would definitely send the furs, so that the senior brother and the others could rest assured.
This kind of credit sales, which was very common in later generations, has achieved excellent results immediately after it was born early.
Because after removing the cloak of increasing sales, it also contains a trusting relationship.
Most people in later generations are not very sensitive to this relationship, but simple primitive people attach great importance to it.
This is why the leader of the Sheep Tribe had such a reaction after understanding what the senior brother meant.
