Chapter 800 Forest and Snowfield

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding, the sound of the bells on the neck of the reindeer.

Arcani shouted, and the majestic reindeer pulled the sled car to speed. The dense jungle and thick snow were very familiar and close to the elves in the forest.

Zhu Rongjie wrapped himself tightly in mink fur, even his face surrounded, revealing only his two eyes. The cold wind here was a bit unbearable for him. He felt like he was going to freeze his whole body when he took a breath into his lungs.

"As long as it is not a blizzard, winter is not scary!" Alcani is an Evanni, which is their own name. In Zhu Rongjie's view, they are no different from those Sorens who call themselves Ewenk, and even some other tribes that grazed reindeer on deer carts. They should be called the Deer Tribe.

Feyyak, Hezhe and other tribes that live by the sea and river, mainly fishing, basically have the habit of raising dogs. In winter, dogs can be collectively called the Dog Department, which is simple and clear, and can be remembered from this and that.

The rivers and seas were frozen and frozen, and the pioneer fleet was also driving them to sleep and stop for the winter. However, the tribes could not stay idle. The cold winter was also the best hunting season. Especially after the Dynasty showed them the exquisite goods, they were all moved, especially the prices they felt very real.

When the Dynasty met, they wanted to return to the tribe and even hunted, they also held a meeting with the team members to discuss it. Finally, they decided to send some team members to follow them to their tribe to hunt together, bringing various hunting nets, animal traps and other new tools prepared in advance, as well as tribal hunters recruited from Vladivostok, Yongning City and other places.

Zhu Rongjie is a fifth-rank official or a civil servant, so he can't come out, but he is still willing to follow him outside and explore the tribe.

He took a team of Trail Blazers to translate the Evan tribe of Arkani. Their tribe is a forest tribe, mainly hunting and fishing. They also raise reindeer. In winter, they will drive reindeer to the tundra on the top and slopes of the mountain to eat moss and lichens.

Arcani and others live in the Uria River. In summer, they hunt nomadicly in the mountains and forests by the river and fish, and they will go up the mountain in autumn and winter.

There are four clans in Hala in total, with seventy-five families, more than three hundred people, and more than one thousand six hundred reindeer.

The Evans called the deer Oren, their best companion, their means of transport, the boat of the forest, and also food.

The Evans were flowing, and their Hala was probably in the Uria River, but even so, the area where they lived was still huge.

Zhu Rongjie felt that he had been lost. There were the same forest and the same snow everywhere, but the reindeer was pulling several sled carts and galloping in the forest, as if there was no end forever.

There was no trace of human beings, but Alcani said they would not get lost, just as they would never find their own deer. They placed the deer in the forest and placed on the mountain, sometimes dozens of miles apart, and they could find it.

However, these two taels are considered high-standard, and it is probably worth 100 taels after drying, but maybe 200 taels are OK.

This is very precious. He smiled,

"This is a good thing. I bought it. The market in Yongning City bought musk. One tael is sixteen taels of silver. One tael is less than one tael and more than half tael is cheaper. One tael is more expensive. One tael is more expensive. The ones are more than two taels are the most expensive. There are five prices in total. You are the best. I will double the one tael. This will be counted as seventy-two silver dollars for you. You can see it." Arcani was stunned on the spot.

He remembered visiting the good things in the Kaituo warehouse when he left the bus and even remembered the prices of some things.

For example, an iron pot, three silver dollars, two axes, two butcher knives, two yam knives, two salt, one bucket, one silver dollars, and six cotton pieces.

Tea bricks weigh four pounds each, four silver dollars, six silver dollars per dou of sugar, and two silver dollars per catty.

Five kilograms of rice wine are filled with silver dollars, one wine pot, one silver dollars, one tin basin, eight magnetic soup bowls, one piece, ten magnetic rice bowls, and three buckets.

In Arcani's opinion, those things are good things and the price is pretty good. Mr. Zhu, a Musk, would pay 72 silver dollars to collect, and he couldn't calculate it for a while. How many good things can he exchange for?

Iron pots are good things and are easy to cook. Evanni often eat raw, venison and fish that are killed on the same day. If you can't finish eating that day, you will smoke or dry it.

An iron pot worth three yuan each is enough to replace it with twenty pieces. You can buy twelve dou of salt. One dou of salt is a bag. The salt is of good quality, snow-white.

Other tea, tobacco, alcohol, white sugar, brown sugar, axes, knives, shovels, hammers, rope bags, and cotton and linens are also very good.

Although they have fur, they are very warm in winter, but they are uncomfortable in summer.

"This is not worth it." Alcani swallowed. Tribes are often self-sufficient and do not pay much attention to life, but they are also limited in terms of conditions. They will also trade with outsiders and exchange fur for salt.

It was just too inconvenient. They wanted everything from the Ming Dynasty. He could not have imagined that a sachet of a scented deer could be worth so much silver.

"Why don't you get 75 yuan?" Zhu Rongjie increased the price. Arcani hesitated for a moment and finally decided to sell it.

"It's about ten yuan, I can change three iron pots."

"Or it's still seventy-two?"

"A little less." The two of them started a magical bargaining there, and they had to pay a high price for those who bought it, but they had to buy it at a low price.

Both sides felt that the other party was at a disadvantage, so in the end, Zhu Rongjie set the price, and bought the sachet for ten iron pots, thirty silver dollars.

"I also counted the silver dollars for him on the spot. Arkani grabbed the silver dollars and felt like he was dreaming. Ten iron pots were just changing to such a small thing. He just shot a muskie on the way. This iron pot had to be mined, smelted, smelted, cast, and how many manuals it took to cast the pot. He just shot an arrow. Zhu Rongjie carefully packed the sachet. Such a large sachet, after simple processing, brought back to the Central Plains, in Beijing, Tianjin or Fengtian, that would be worth 1 or 200 silver dollars. Now he exchanged it for thirty silver dollars. And the thirty silver dollars, next time Arkani will change these thirty silver dollars to goods. Just that iron pot, selling three silver dollars, is a real

In fact, their purchase price was three cents and silver per bite, and two small iron pots were only one cent and six. They sold ten times more than ten times more. Basically, the goods brought by the pioneer fleet were sold at least ten times more than ten times more. However, after all, they were shipped from the sea nearly ten miles away, especially Evanni and others could not buy these goods before. Another one was that the pioneer company bought their fur and gave them a good price, so they did not think it was expensive, but they thought it was quite cost-effective. Just like now, a musk sold ten large iron pots for money, he felt that it was too profitable. Both parties were very satisfied with the transaction. Alcani happily began to divide the deer while it was hot, cut a large piece of fresh meat from the deer legs, and handed it directly to Zhu Rongjie.

"Hot, fresh, delicious." In winter, the trick of Evannis during the winter is to eat more raw meat and go out less. Young and strong men go out hunting. After catching prey, they will divide them as soon as possible and eat large pieces of raw meat to replenish their energy.

He then handed the deer skin to Zhu Rongjie. In his opinion, the thirty silver dollars also included the skin and flesh of the deer.

Zhu Rongjie took a piece of leg meat, chewed it a few bites and felt it was very fishy. Alcani hit another bone, took out a piece of bone marrow and handed it to him, saying that this was a good thing.

Zhu Rongjie took it and put it in his mouth but felt the smell was like chewing wax. Especially the fatty and greasy feeling made people even disgusted and wanted to vomit. He had to suppress this feeling and swallow it hard.

He didn't want to be rude, but he wanted to learn from these indigenous people and adapt to the verge of local customs as soon as possible.

But in the end, he tried it lightly, took a piece of fresh ribs, took it into his sled car robe, put it in a wok on the stove, added water and simmered it. When he was resting in the evening, he could eat the delicious stewed deer stewed salad.

The other Evannis in the team were eating raw meat while it was hot with knives, and they were very happy to eat. Zhu Rongjie and the Trail Blazers team each ate only a small piece, and then looked forward to stewing ribs.

"The bear screams!"

"There is a bear." Bairko shouted excitedly. He just saw Alcani shooting a deer and actually exchanged for ten pots of silver. He was also very envious. As a tribal sharpshooter, he was extremely excited when he heard the bear call.

It's finally time to show off.

"Let's go together!" Alcani came over to tell the neighbors of the mother's clan that the Evanni people all came around to hunt the bear together. If it were normal, they might not be interested in hunting the bear, but today they all want to take the bear off.

Bairko also came to ask Zhu Rongjie,

"A brown bear, do you want it?" Zhu Rongjie said with a smile.

"Bear skin, bear bile, bear paw, are all good things, especially bear bile." Bairko and others were even more excited when they heard the price he offered. They didn't expect that this bear was so valuable.

"Do you need our help hunting bears together? We have muskets!" Bailko and the others wanted to hunt themselves, but were embarrassed to refuse. Finally, they reluctantly agreed. The two sides made a simple agreement that according to their tradition, the first one to shoot a bear can monopolize 30% of the profits.

It is also agreed that you should try to shoot the bear's head or belly to ensure the integrity of the bear's skin and not shoot randomly to ruin the skin.

Zhu Rongjie agreed, and he couldn't wait to participate in the hunting. He brought a rope, clip, musket, and spear, and they all went to the bear's cry. A group of Evanny hunters, and then a team of Trail Blazers, plus a few Jurchen hunters recruited in Yongning City, quickly followed the bear's footprints and found the bear. For some reason, he didn't hibernate but ran out to scream.

The big brown bear with thick skin is hard to defeat this group of hunters. Everyone drove and surrounded him. Before Bairko found the best opportunity, Zhu Rongjie was aiming at the side for a long time with a heavy nine-headed bird. He seized the opportunity and a gun stood up from the man's mouth and opened his mouth and roared in. The lead bullet of the heavy musket was also enlarged, and the big brown bear weighing thousands of pounds was piled up with one gun.

A gun killed the dead. A rumbling sound like a jade pillar was pushed down, and the snow on the trees was shaking. The Korbai bow was already full, but he was taken first. He was a little angry, but he was secretly shocked by the power of the large musket. A seemingly weak Han official killed a thousand-pound brown bear with one gun.

And if they were replaced by them, no matter how good the sharpshooter was, he would not be able to shoot him in just one or two arrows.

"Skin it quickly, take the gall, and take the bear's paw." Alcani's voice woke him up. He put away the bow and arrow in disappointment and followed his tribe to deal with the brown bear.

"Eat bear meat tonight." said one pioneer team member. But Alcani said,

"Bear meat is not delicious, smelly and stinky. Even if it is cooked, it will cause diarrhea after eating. After eating it, it will not only cause diarrhea, but also cause oil on the body. When you hunt this thing, you usually take it back to feed the dog." Zhu Rongjie said with a smile.

"It's a waste to feed the dog. This is bear meat. It doesn't matter if it smells bad. Soak it with more water first, then add pepper ingredients to stew it, and then braise it with braised. There will definitely be no more smell bad." Bear meat will easily cause diarrhea and oil. The main reason is that the body fat of the bear is thick. Most people are prone to diarrhea after eating it, especially those who have no oil and water in their stomachs will definitely have diarrhea.

However, it is okay to eat less at a time after stewing more or braised. Most people don’t have the chance to eat such good things, and they will definitely not let them go if they encounter them.

Pepper stock, pepper powder, soy sauce and cooking wine, are you afraid that it will not taste good? Zhu Rongjie and others are very confident.
