Chapter 39: The Second Trade with the Deer Tribe
Zhi likes to eat salted roast animal meat, and takes the hunting team out to hunt almost every day, and the hunting team can't harvest every day, but this time the hunting team unexpectedly found a kind of rattan suitable for making Teng Dun.
Su Yan asked the hunting team to bring back more of this rattan when they went out hunting next time, and prepared to compile Teng Dun, of course, it was just the most primitive and simple Teng Dun, if it was a better Teng Dun, it would take many processes and soak it in oil.
The role of rattan is not only to weave Teng Dun, but also to weave baskets and even shoes.
Now Su Yan wears rattan shoes on his feet, which are better than straw sandals, and he can't wrap his feet in animal skins in summer, rattan shoes are a good choice.
There are also rattan baskets that can be used to hold fish, which are much better than large pottery.
It has been several days since the first transaction with the deer tribe, although there are only seven people in the entire tribe who eat salt, but it has also made the salt in Su Yan's hands quickly decrease, and it is about to be exhausted, Su Yan has been looking forward to the second transaction with the deer tribe, after eating food with salt, and then eating food without salt, his appetite will definitely be greatly reduced.
During this period, the two standard houses built by the snake tribe have been completed, and they can be inhabited after waiting for a few days to dry, and Su Yan also has to choose which tribesmen to live in the house.
The largest family in the snake tribe is Zhi's family, Zhiguang's spouse has ten people, plus the spouse's children, you can imagine how many people are in Zhi's family, it is estimated that the Zhi family accounts for about one-sixth of the total population of the snake tribe, but I don't know how many of the children are Zhi's bloodline, after all, Zhi became the leader of the snake tribe after Su Yan was born.
Zhi's family has the largest number of people, the number of Dali's family ranks second, and when it comes to the third, it should be the family of Fierce Face and One-Eyed, the two of them each have three spouses, the Fierce Face's spouse has a total of six children, and the family size reaches ten, and the one-eyed spouse has a total of five children, and the family size reaches nine.
It would be too wasteful to put the murderous family and the one-eyed family in one house, and it would be too crowded to put the two families in one house, and finally Su Yan added two more families to it, namely the big mouth family with two spouses and three children, a total of six people, and the big black family with two spouses and four children, a total of seven people.
The Fierce Face family and the Big Mouth family live in one house, and the One-Eyed family and the Big Black family live in one house, and each house houses sixteen people, which is about the right time.
There is no conflict between two families living in the same house, after all, there was no conflict when everyone lived in the same cave before.
In a few days, there will be thirty-two fewer people in the cave, and the crowded space will finally be able to relax, and in a few days, that special house will be built, and then Su Yan will be able to move in.
Just when the salt in Su Yan's hands was about to run out, after six days, Yuan took the hunting team of the Deer Tribe to the Snake Tribe residence again, and it happened that today Zhi did not take the Snake Tribe hunting team out to hunt and stay in the tribe.
The residence of the deer tribe and the residence of the snake tribe should not be too far away, and the time when Yuan first came to the residence of the snake tribe was close to noon, and this was still Yuan walking in the direction of the snake tribe's residence while hunting with the hunting team.
This time, the edge with the deer tribe hunting team did not think about hunting, and walked directly to the snake tribe residence, so that just after half of the morning, the edge with the deer tribe hunting team had already come to the snake tribe residence, and there may be the possibility that the edge will set off in advance today.
Zhi grinned to greet his good friend Yuan, and the two hugged each other happily.
Last time, Yuan exchanged a small bag of salt for a small pottery bowl from the snake tribe, and after this pottery bowl was brought back to the deer tribe, it was directly requisitioned by the witch of the deer tribe and became the treasure of the deer tribe.
Yuan told Wu about his transaction with the snake tribe, and learned that this treasure could be exchanged for salt, and more salt could be exchanged for bigger treasures, Wu immediately agreed to exchange salt and snake tribe for pottery.
So in the next few days, Yuan continued to go out hunting with the hunting team to get food for the deer tribe, and half of the adult female tribe and some children who were about to reach adulthood went to collect salt to trade with the snake tribe.
Six days later, Yuan and his people came to the Snake Tribe with three large bags of salt, and Yuan's goal was to exchange these three bags of salt for as much pottery as possible from the Snake Tribe, with large pottery being the key target.
It is still up to Zhi and Yuan to trade, and the two of them are talking "woo wow" while constantly gesturing with their hands, and the language barrier between the two tribes is really a troublesome thing.
From the conversation, Su Yan learned that Yuan wanted to exchange three large bags of salt for five large pottery (the number of five fingers) and twenty pottery bowls (two times the number of ten fingers), although Zhi and Yuan were good friends, but now Zhi is trading with Yuan from the perspective of the snake tribe, Zhi naturally will not agree to trade like this, not to mention that the complete large pottery is also very precious in the snake tribe.
There are many large pieces of pottery in the snake tribe, but most of them are defective, with cracks on their bodies and cannot be used to hold water.
Yuan used the fact that he saw a large number of large pottery in the snake tribe and thought that the large pottery was not of high value, and Zhi Ze took the large pottery with gaps and put it in the water to explain to Yuan that the large pottery was defective, and the complete large pottery was also very valuable in the snake tribe.
After a fierce quarrel, three large bags of salt were finally exchanged for two large pottery bowls (with lids) and five pottery bowls of different sizes.
Yuan was satisfied and left the snake tribe with a total of seven pottery of two large and five small, and exchanged the salt that did not have much value for the deer tribe for seven pottery that were very valuable to the deer tribe, and in the heart of the yuan, the deal was earned.
Like Yuan, Tomoya thinks that his tribe has earned it, and he exchanges pottery that is not of high value in the Snake tribe for salt, which is very important to the snake tribe.
Both sides thought that it would be good to make money, and they could continue to trade, and until the snake tribe did not find the source of salt, they could only trade with the snake tribe in exchange for salt.
The weight of the three bales of salt was hundreds of kilograms, and Su Yan summoned the people to take water from the river, integrate the impurities into the water, filter and remove the impurities, and finally put it on the stove to heat.
Su Yan calculated that at least four hundred liters of water needed to evaporate to purify all the impurity salts, and at least fifty kilograms of fine salt could be obtained, which was enough for everyone in the Snake Tribe to use for a period of time.
