The bad-tempered leader who didn't believe stones could be exchanged for salt walked forward angrily after beating someone. He didn't believe the words of several women in the tribe.
However, when I saw the large number of stones placed in front of the Qingque tribe's caravan, my disbelief became much less.
“￥%……”
He put down the prey he carried on his shoulders, danced and talked to the trader, asking about things.
Different from dealing with Huang Guo and the others, when facing Shang and Mao, all the irritability in him disappeared, because he knew that the people of this tribe had very good things.
Moreover, they look much stronger than when they came before.
With a smile, Mao once again began to popularize the new trading rules that he had repeated many times. The leader of the Huangguo tribe gradually opened his mouth. He looked at the stones on the ground and the goods placed by the Qingque tribe on the ground, and then looked not far away just now.
Huang Guo and the others who had been beaten were all a little confused.
Is what they said actually true?
Can stones really be exchanged for salt? Are the people in this tribe stupid, or are they crazy?
After thinking for a while, Huang Guo walked to the cave and took out the jar of salt. After handing it to the leader, he pointed at the Qingque Tribe's caravan and began to say Ula-Ula-Ula.
The leader looked at the actual salt in the clay pot and finally believed this fact which was not true at all.
Huang Guo was beaten again. The reason for the beating was why she didn't take out the salt shaker earlier...
But this time the leader didn't strike hard this time.
After confirming that the stones could be exchanged for salt, the leader was undoubtedly extremely happy. He didn't even bother to make food, and wanted to send people back to find Duoduo stones, but Mao quickly stopped him.
The leader who finally figured out the trading rules seemed a little disappointed, but then he became happy because in addition to stones, various seeds and cubs can also be exchanged for salt and pottery.
After receiving the news, he immediately remembered the pile of seeds used as food stored in his tribe's cave.
He immediately returned to the cave, came to a corner, and began to put things on the animal skin packages spread out on the ground, making some clattering sounds.
When holding it, sometimes the hand would suddenly shrink, as if it had been pricked by something.
After a while, the leader came out with the animal skin package and placed it in front of Shang Mao. The true colors of the things inside were revealed.
These are some half-moon-shaped pods, which are wood-like in color. There are several consecutive bulging bags on the pods, which are where the seeds are.
More than half of the pods have cracked and rolled over, and the seeds inside have fallen to the bottom.
On the animal skin package, there are some small, round yellow balls falling, which are the seeds inside the pod.
Mao pinched a seed, put it in his mouth, and chewed it hard.
The seeds were very hard, but not as hard as the teeth of primitive people. They were chewed up in a short time.
It doesn't taste bitter or astringent, but it's not much better. It's not very good food.
After Mao came to a conclusion about this thing, he spit it out and rinsed his mouth with water.
The leader on the side looked cheerfully.
They don't eat much of these seeds that can be eaten as food. They usually only eat them when there is a special shortage of food.
Because the seeds are too small, they used to eat most of them raw because roasting them over fire was too troublesome and would burn them if not done properly.
It tastes good when cooked in clay pots obtained from this tribe.
However, the Huangguo tribe still does not eat too much, because after eating these seeds, the stomach will easily become full, which will make people fart non-stop, which is very uncomfortable.
The leader looked at the trader and seemed a little worried, fearing that the seeds would not be exchanged for salt. After all, the seeds were not very good food.
Shang and Mao compared the seeds they had exchanged with other tribes, and after confirming that they were new and unseen seeds, they accepted them with a smile and used two spoons of salt in exchange.
The anxious leader let out a sigh of relief when he saw this. He looked at the jar with a lot of extra salt and opened his mouth from ear to ear with joy.
After a while, the happy leader felt a little sorry. After all, the seeds he used to exchange for salt were not very tasty seeds, and the quantity was not large.
When Ji Ji returned to the cave, he packed two full animal skins and wrapped them up, indicating that these were given free of charge.
Shang and Mao quickly shook their heads and said they didn't want it. Firstly, there were too many things and it was difficult to carry them. Secondly, they kept in mind the instructions of the Son of God and didn't need to bring too many seeds of each kind.
The leader was distraught and refused to take it, so he had to have the seeds taken back, which would cause stomach discomfort after eating them.
Han Cheng didn't know what was happening here. If he knew, he would be stunned and would attack Shang for faithfully following his orders.
This thing is soybeans!
The Qingque Tribe's trading team stayed at Huang Guo's tribe for two days.
During these two days, the people of this tribe were basically looking for stones and various seeds that they usually ignored in exchange for delicious salt and precious pottery.
Because they are linked to these two things, these things that are not valued by people immediately become almost attractive.
Two days later, the people of the Qingque tribe left behind some salt and pottery, and left with the stones and seeds exchanged from the tribe, as well as some furs.
After they left, the people in Huangguo's tribe did not relax in their search for stones and seeds. Instead, they would pay attention to these things when hunting or doing other things. If they found something different, they would bring it back.
tribe.
Because when the tribe left, they left an agreement, saying that after a period of time, they would come back with salt and pottery in exchange for these things.
This time the tribe stayed here for a short time and they were in a hurry. They failed to search carefully. Now that they have enough time, they should pay more attention.
Try to exchange stones, seeds and cubs for a lot of salt and pottery when that tribe comes again.
This is the voice of Huang Guo and the others.
It is also the sentiment of all the tribesmen who learned the news.
After the Qingque tribe's trading team passed by, those tribes who had tasted the benefits began to search for stones, seeds and cubs spontaneously, without the need for anyone to supervise them.
Shang Mao also began to lead the trading team back, because they had almost exchanged the salt and pottery they carried.
When they returned, Han Cheng also laid the last stone, a circular flower bed eighty centimeters high, with a clump of green bamboo in the middle, which looked quite pleasing to the eye.
After finishing the flower bed, Han Cheng started busy with another thing - letting the rooster hatch the eggs.
