The sky in Siberia is blue, the white clouds in the sky are white, and the white clouds on the ground are white, take a closer look...... That's not a white cloud at all, it's water vapor.

"This beef jerky is good, salty, sweet, delicious and chewy, it is a high-quality beef jerky, which can be exchanged for three catties of grain. Jia Lei sat on a recliner and chewed a piece of beef jerky and said.

"Is this true? Thank you so much Young Master Jia Lei, you are such a good person. An old herdsman with a wrinkled face said gratefully.

"You don't have to thank me, we're a fair deal!" Jia Lei waved his hand and said.

Then Jia Lei waved his hand and threw the remaining half of the beef jerky into the tray on the side, which was already filled with a lot of dried meat and fish that had been bitten.

"Come, come and weigh me! Kerr reached out to take the old man's half-pocket beef jerky and said.

"No, I have to move my back! The old man quickly refused embarrassedly, and Kerr could only watch him laboriously put the jerky on the scale.

"54.1kg, can be exchanged for 162.3kg of grain. Jia Lei said according to the calculator.

"Can I only need 162kg of grain, and can I exchange the remaining 0.3kg of grain for 2 Jia Lei big steamed buns?" asked the old herdsman looking at the huge steamer behind Jia Lei longingly.

"1kg of grain can only be exchanged for 500g of steamed bread, our family's big steamed buns have 100g, and one steamed bun costs 200g of grain!" Sasa, who was in charge of the exchange on the side, frowned and said that he had already told these herdsmen the exchange ratio.

"This ......," the old herdsman hesitated.

"Grandpa, I want to eat Jia Lei's big steamed buns. An 8-year-old boy said as he dragged the hem of the old herdsman's clothes.

"I want to eat it too!" said another, slightly smaller girl, wrapped her fingers in it.

"Then I'll change one! Little flower and little wolf, the two of you will share half of it!" the old herdsman took a steamed bun, broke it, and handed it to the two children.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, give them half more, Luo Nan, you get another steamed bun for the old man." Jia Lei turned around and said.

"Okay!" Luo Nan immediately said happily, although he didn't understand what Sasa and the herdsmen said, but he felt very uncomfortable when he saw that the two children could only eat one steamed bun.

"Jia Lei, you can't do this? There are too many poor people on the grassland, you can't make an exception. What will the other people who come to exchange food think?" said Sasa with a frown.

"It doesn't matter! I am in charge of my steamed buns, I can give them to whoever I want, who is qualified to care about me? Does their opinion matter?" Jia Lei said with a roll of his eyes, and then he took out two pieces of orange candy from his pocket and stuffed them to the two little ones.

"This is sugar, it's very sweet! Jia Lei said to them.

"By the way, old man! This steamed bun is dry, and it will be very swollen in the stomach after going back to drink water, and the two little guys can eat half of it alone, and you should eat the rest by yourself." Jia Lei said to the old herdsman.

"That's not good, I can't afford to eat such a precious thing! I'd better take it back to my wife to eat." The old herdsman wrapped the steamed bun and stuffed it into his arms and said.

"Then you have to remember that you have to steam it through the water like we did!" said Kerr to teach the old man his experience.

"Hey? The old herdsman happily took the two bags of grain and said.

Then, with the help of his people, he carefully put the grain on the horse's back and walked away with the grain and the child.

"Next!" Jia Lei shouted.

"It's coming, it's coming!" said a man in his 20s running over with a large bag of beef jerky.

"Take a piece and I'll taste it!" Jia Lei said routinely.

"Give. The young man opened his pocket and took a small piece of jerky from it and handed it to Jia Lei.

"Ahh

"Did you kill the salty salt seller? Why is it so salty?" Jia Lei muttered after drinking a full glass of water.

"It's not delicious! Second class!" Jia Lei said.

"What? second-class! I have beef jerky made of the finest fresh beef, how can it be second-class?" asked the young man dissatisfied.

"Your beef jerky and salty can kill people, if it weren't for the real thing, you wouldn't even be rated second-class! Jia Lei spat and foamed.

"What are you talking nonsense, are you looking for a fight!" the young man raised his fist angrily and waved at Jia Lei.

"Humph!" Jia Lei snorted contemptuously, and Kerr stopped the man's fist with a lightning strike, and then pushed him to the ground with all his might.

"I blame you dead boy, saying that you can change more food when you are sinking, and put salt in the jerky vigorously, and this is over! Not only did the food not change much, but it was less than before. A chubby middle-aged woman following him hit him hard.

"Next ......" Jia Lei didn't look at the farce over there, and shouted weakly.

He'd tasted hundreds of pieces of jerky this morning, and now he only had one feeling when he saw beef jerky - his cheeks hurt.

"Sasa, let's change the two of us, okay?" Jia Lei turned his head and said pitifully to Sasa who was sitting on his right.

"Jia Lei, but you can't tell the difference between good and bad fur, how can we change it?" said Sasa, checking the fur sent by the herdsmen.

"Shall we change it?" Jia Lei turned his head to the right and said to Bol, who was collecting gold and silver for grain on the left.

"But boss, in the morning, you actively asked for this place to taste the quality of jerky, even if I am willing to exchange with you, but you don't understand the purity of gold and silver?

"I don't want to eat beef jerky anymore...... My teeth hurt!" Jia Lei said unlovably as he looked at the long line in front of him.

＊＊＊＊

"Shaman Jia Lei Wu asked you to go over, saying that he was looking for you in an emergency. A young man from the Wuyou tribe ran over and said, Jia Lei's eyes immediately lit up.

What a savior Ushaman was!

"Ushaman has something to look for me, I'm leaving, call someone else to take my place." After Jia Lei finished speaking, he hurriedly stood up from behind the table at the exchange point and fled as if flying.

Kerr shrugged his shoulders and reluctantly followed!

"Haha~haha~!" looked at Jia Lei's back as he fled, and the people nearby all laughed.

"Oh, you foreigners are so bad, why are you teasing Jia Lei like this. Mobei said to Bol in English.

We told him a long time ago that the people at the exchange point were all working and not playing, but he wanted to sit here and personally grade the beef jerky. Bauer said.

"It's fun to see Jia Lei scared like that!" Luo Nan rarely answered.

"Children are not sensible, and they don't dare to make trouble next time after a lesson! We have already discussed it, and we will find an excuse to call Jia Lei away when it is almost time. Save Jia Lei from being curious next time and eat something he shouldn't eat!" said the leader of the Wuyou tribe.

"What shouldn't you eat?" asked Burr curiously.

"Don't look at it all jerky, but our specialty here is not only beef but also venison jerky, you see I have arranged for a dozen people to take turns to taste venison jerky!" said the leader of the Wuyou tribe, pointing to another exchange point not far away.

If you eat too much, you will have nosebleeds!

"What are those mountain people talking about, why are they laughing so insidious?" Mo Bei asked Boer curiously.

"Nothing! just a joke. Boer smiled and said that he couldn't let too many people know about his boss.

"Wait, sooner or later, I'll learn Maozi's words. Mo Bei said unconvinced.

"Luo Nan, aren't you learning Maozi's words?, then do you understand what they just said?" Chen Dong leaned over to Luo Nan and asked in a low voice.

They were saying that they were afraid that Jia Lei would eat indiscriminately, so they arranged what happened just now. Luo Nan said.

"You're still amazing, it's been less than a month since we arrived in Maozi's country, and you'll be able to understand Maozi's words!

"You're also very good, not only can you drive, but you can also make steamed buns!" Luo Nan said enviously.

Chen Dongzheng poured out the noodles with his hands and feet, cut them into steamed buns with a knife, and then quickly put them on the steamer.

"What are you looking for me for?" Jia Lei asked, running into Wu Shaman's tent.

"Of course, there is something important that calls you...... Why are you full of salted fish, stay away from me!" Wu Shaman just finished speaking, and immediately covered his nose and looked at Jia Lei with disgust.

"Isn't it that my beef jerky exchange point is particularly close to the salted fish exchange point next to it!" Jia Lei raised his sleeve and sniffed it, and immediately said with disgust.

"I've asked you to stay with me at this gem exchange point a long time ago, but you don't listen! I'm going to eat outside, now you know where it's better, right?" asked Ushaman smugly.

Unlike the humble exchange point outside, the exchange point of Usaman is not only in the tent, but there are people with guns guarding the door, and the house is even more bejeweled.

"How boring is this? I can't read these gold and silver jewelry, I can't recognize what kind of gems they are! It's enough to have you and the experts you invited, or is it better for me to have beef jerky or something. Jia Lei said.

"Please, everything here is yours, aren't you curious?" asked Ushaman.

"Anyway, these things will be mine in the future, and it won't be the same when I see it! You don't know, there are a lot of people who sell things here, and there are also many citizens of the city of Yakutia and workers from the nearby diamond mines who come here to exchange clothes and daily necessities for herdsmen for dried fish and dried meat. Jia Lei said happily.

The more people who come, the more goods he can exchange for in the future!

You don't know that since this year, we herdsmen have been particularly short of daily necessities, and in the past, the Soviet government did not allow ordinary people to do business privately, and all items were uniformly allocated. We, the herders, only need to hand in the livestock that we have planned for each year, and we will receive the cloth and daily necessities that are allocated above. But not only did we suffer this year, but after the fall of the Soviet government, no one had distributed the daily necessities on it. Ushaman said.

"No wonder my market has only been open for two days, and so many people have come, it turns out that you have not had daily necessities for more than half a year, and I want to say that it will not last long to send things from above, or the market economy is more reliable for trading. Jia Lei said.

"Isn't it! By exchanging food for things like ours, we have been able to get everything our tribe lacks in less than a day! And it's not only convenient for us, but also for other tribes. As he spoke, Ushaman handed a note with the amount of grain written on it to the guest opposite.

"You're right, I never imagined that I could get so much food with a single stone! The guest said happily.

"Huh, do you have a lot of gems there?" Jia Lei asked in surprise, Wu Shaman just gave the man a high price of 1 ton of grain.

"Of course, our tribe lives near the Ural Mountains, and we migrate to Siberia with the pastures during this month of the year, and there are many gems in the Ural Mountains. The man said happily.

The Ural Mountains are one of the world's most famous sources of colored gemstones!

"Did you just call me here to show me this?" Jia Lei asked, pointing to an emerald gemstone that Wu Shaman had just received.

"No, that's why I called you. Usaman said, pulling out a small box from his pocket and pushing it over.

"Isn't this a gift from Mine Chief Xie Li at yesterday's banquet?" Jia Lei asked curiously, taking the ring box.

There were too many and miscellaneous gifts he received yesterday, so Jia Lei asked Shaman Wu to help him clean up and sort all kinds of gifts.

"You can open it and see it!" said Ushaman.

"What can Mine Chef Sherry send! At most, it's just a big diamond. Jia Lei said and opened the ring box, and then his hand shook......

"Smack!" Jia Lei immediately quickly closed the box and nervously put the thing into his arms.

"How could this be? Could it be that Mine Manager Xie Li gave the wrong gift? got the wrong box?" Jia Lei couldn't help but ask Wu Shaman.

"That's why I sent someone to call you over!" said the Ushaman, pressed his temples worriedly.

"But this is not a small amount, shouldn't such a smart person as Mine Manager Xie Li be mistaken?" Jia Lei asked in a low voice.

It's not a small amount, and the box contains 10 polished 2-carat square diamonds!

"I hope he's mistaken, otherwise Shelly must have wanted you to help out with something when he gave you such a big gift for some reason!" said Ushaman, worried.

"What can I do to help him? I'm just a small businessman, and I don't have anything but a little money!" Jia Lei said in surprise.

"That is, if the leaders of other tribes give such a big gift, I understand! After all, it is difficult to get food now, and many people cannot buy a large amount of food no matter how much money they spend. However, the diamond mine has always been controlled by the government department, and in order to ensure the export of diamonds, the workers in the mine have always had enough food. Even if there is no food elsewhere, there will be no shortage there!" said Ushaman.

In the early 90s, during the turmoil in Maoziguo, they relied on the export of diamonds and oil in exchange for food, so the workers in these two places would never be short of food.

"Then why did he give me such a big gift?" Jia Lei asked puzzled.

"Wait, I think he's going to come to you with such a big investment. Ushaman said. I want to talk about "Rebirth 1990: The Invisible Rich" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
