Chapter 138 Going Business
Leaving the older people to pick at the edges, and walking inside with the younger women and children, a group of people at each location searched for nearby spots, made marks, and asked that the wild plants not be picked unless they reached the required level of growth, so that the wild plants were not plucked.
At the time of Shen, with the barbarians of the extreme wolf barbarians who had entered the forest, all the barbarians had returned, looking at the baskets of wild vegetables and wild mushrooms, and everyone's faces were filled with cheerful smiles.
It's all food. Due to the special nature of this wild land, the wild mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains and forests are also different from other places, so these things can also be regarded as special products of the wild land.
After enjoying a meal with meat and vegetables, the barbarians began to understand that the deliciousness of this way of eating, as for the benefits, it takes time.
There is such a rich harvest in the mountains and forests, and the happiest is undoubtedly the patriarch of the Extreme Wolf Barbarian Tribe, Han Jike, with these sources, many clansmen can survive, and the growth of the tribe is just around the corner.
Another day passed, and the matter of picking wild vegetables was already on the right track, and the expected traders slowly drove into the sight of the Polar Wolf Barbarian Watchtower in the evening.
"Merchants are coming, it's merchants from Shikoku." The warriors on the lookout shouted loudly, bringing the news of the arrival of the merchant to everyone.
In the tribe, people who need to exchange supplies will prepare their own items, and this is also the time when children are happiest.
Although the merchants came to exchange things, they would give the barbarian children some cheap candy.
Hulala, the first group to run out of the gang were the children.
Stand in front of the stockade. The place where the Zach tribesmen were once stationed began to look out.
The creaking of the carriage followed. The convoy of traders had already arrived, bringing with them a lot of food and supplies. As far as the eye can see, it winds its way to a long distance.
When the convoy slowly stopped, the large field was already black.
The coachmen each parked in a specific position, optimistic about their goods, and the merchants to whom the convoy belonged gathered together, and were welcomed into the big tent that had been prepared for a long time by the patriarch of the Extreme Wolf Barbarian Tribe.
The dust-faced merchants entered the tent of the Han Ji Ke No, and had already ordered the blankets to be prepared and spread on the ground. Set up a small table and sit down according to the status of each in the caravan.
The higher the front, the higher the status and the more goods.
"Patriarch Hanjike, I haven't seen you for a long time, and the last time we met should have been three years ago." The leader of the merchant seemed to be a big merchant, and he only watched everyone follow behind with a little respect, watching the middle-aged man in his forties greet the patriarch of Hanjike and make a hug etiquette.
"Brother Li Cheng, it's been a long time. I didn't expect that this time it would be a caravan led by you who came to our tribe. It was so surprising to me. Know the way. Your Surabaya caravans have always been in short supply, and the quality is very good, and every time they don't even come to us, they are sold out. I was surprised to see how many of your carriages were coming, and there were hundreds. ”
"Ha Lu Ha. Maybe this God is destined to let me come to you this year, but I can't help it. On the way to the Drought Barbarian and the Xuantu Barbarian Tribe, I don't know what happened, and a horse thief ran rampant. One is even more wolves raging, only you here, although a little farther away, but at least you can ensure safety, otherwise it is really ...... Alas, not to mention this, this time we brought 4,000 catties of white rice, 5,000 catties of salt, and 10,000 catties of bran, and no less than 10,000 catties of sun-dried corn, as well as some other spices, cloth and other things, the price is good, I don't know how much you can take. ”
Li Cheng, the second master of the Li family in Bluestone City, Surabaya, the Li family will walk around the trade routes of the wild land all the year round, exchange grain and cloth for furs and ores, and earn dozens of times the profits, is a family that slowly made a fortune by relying on this trade route, although it is not too big, but it is also one of the best businessmen in Bluestone City, and has a good reputation among the merchants, and the caravans of Surabaya in the past hundred years have almost all been led by the people of the Li family, and Li Cheng is the main person in charge of the past ten years.
Han Ji smiled and said, "Brother Li Cheng, you have come all the way, you should wash your face first and rest for a while, let's talk about this matter slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Although Li Cheng still had a smile on his face, he was a little puzzled in his heart.
If it were according to the usual rules, this rare person would definitely take down a third of his goods without saying a word, but now he is hesitant, could it be that what has happened this year?
"Okay, let's take a breath first, business matters, it's not too late to talk about it later." Li Cheng said and hurriedly beckoned the merchants to sit down, wiped the dust on his face under the service of the satisfied women, drank the sweet and bitter tea of the barbarians, and maintained a polite smile on his face.
Han Jike beckoned to the merchants here, but Feng Tianyu had already taken Xiao Yunyuan to the long table where the barbarians had already begun to take out some of the goods, and began to display them.
Cloth, grain, salt, sugar, some sun-dried corn and the like, even some pickled hairtail.
"Mother, these things don't look very good." After Xiao Yunyuan turned around, he said with a disappointed face.
"Fool, these are ordinary goods, and people naturally won't take out good things so quickly, after all, most of the people who come to exchange them now are small families, and the biggest buyer is the patriarch of the tribe. If you want to see good things, you naturally have to show them to the patriarch first, so that we can have a chance to witness them. Feng Tianyu replied with a smile, looking at Xiao Yunyuan's very dissatisfied expression, he couldn't help but pinch his face.
"Mother, look at the eyes of those little sisters and little brothers looking at those candies, why don't we buy some for everyone to eat?" Xiao Yunyuan looked at the group of people who were holding a piece of candy given to them by the coachmen who were now acting as partners, and they were very reluctant to lick it, and couldn't help but say so.
Feng Tianyu looked at the children, and then at the sugar grains that felt a little rock candy, thinking that it shouldn't be too expensive, so he nodded and walked over with Xiao Yunyuan.
"Excuse me, how do you sell all this sugar?"
Feng Tianyu spoke, and saw that the busy coachmen were instantly stunned on the spot, and a pair of eyes looked at Feng Tianyu's mother and son, who stood out from the crowd, and suddenly became quiet.
"Mother, how did they become like this? What a strange expression. Xiao Yunyuan frowned, a little unhappy.
"This lady, I'm really sorry, the little ones have never seen such a beautiful person as the woman, I lost my temper for a while, please forgive me."
"Yes, yes, please forgive me." The others were busy answering the question, and if they were so exposed to the sun that the complexion of these coachmen was darker, they would be blushing at this moment.
Feng Tianyu didn't mind, after all, they were all a group of simple people, and their hearts were not bad.
"But I was negligent, and I wonder you. I want to buy some sugar, but I don't know what the price of your sugar is. ”
"If this little master needs to eat candy, we have some better candy here, so I'll give you some to taste, no money."
"Thank you for your kindness. Actually, my son doesn't like candy and decided to buy some because my son said he wanted to give it to the kids. ”
"Madame and the young master are really kind-hearted people, and they are really kind to these barbarians. According to the price of the caravan, a pound of sugar is twenty yuan, but since the lady wants it, then it is fifteen yuan a pound, okay? The coachman who answered seemed to be a nimble-minded person, although he was shocked by Feng Tianyu's appearance at first, he recovered quickly, and he also knew what price to use to negotiate with her.
Barter, which is only suitable for barbarians, and the people of the other four countries are trading silver.
"How much sugar do you have here?" Feng Tianyu glanced at the children around him and couldn't help asking.
"There are more than 100 catties like this, and the specific number is not clear, and it needs to be weighed before we know."
"That's right. Generally speaking, how much of this sugar will be purchased by the tribe? ”
"It's hard to say. After all, for the caravan, sugar is only rewarded to the children for each big tribe to enjoy, and most of the time, more than 100 catties are enough to be distributed to the children of each tribe that passes by, and there will even be a little surplus. Generally speaking, the tribe does not count this item in the purchase of goods, Madame may not worry. ”
"In that case, then you can leave enough for the children of the remaining tribes to go to, and sell the rest to me."
"Alright, ma'am, please wait a moment."
Soon, the fifty catties of sugar grains were weighed and handed over to Feng Tianyu.
After the goods and money were paid, Feng Tianyu was about to send sugar grains with Xiao Yunyuan, but before she could do anything, Panuta and Hannato came in a hurry.
"Tianyu, I have something to discuss with you, are you free?" Panuta asked, but her eyes swept to the merchant drivers who nodded at him, and they also nodded in response.
Feng Tianyu called Zhang Liao over and asked him to accompany Xiao Yunyuan to send sugar grains, while he followed Panuta and the others into the village and walked to a more secluded place in the tribe.
"Tianyu, the patriarch asked me to ask you, can those wild vegetables and wild mushrooms we picked become things to trade with the merchants?"
Feng Tianyu was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that Han Jike, the patriarch of the Extreme Wolf Barbarian Tribe, would actually let Panuta ask her.
However, she had to admit that the patriarch was quite business-minded, and as soon as the merchants arrived, he asked people to ask her about it.
"Most of the things I picked yesterday are ordinary things, and there is no shortage in the mountains and forests outside, so it is very difficult to become one of the items that can be exchanged." (To be continued......)
