Chapter 362 Transaction (Medium) 1/2
"Good stuff, put it on the food, it's delicious." Zhao Lin dipped his fingers in a little peppercorn powder and white salt and put them in his mouth, making a "delicious" expression.
A member of the Aoki tribe boldly stepped forward, first dipped his finger in a little white salt and put it in his mouth to taste, the salty taste of salt filled the taste buds of this tribe.
"Salt, chief, this is salt, strange, why is it different from the salt that our tribe eats?" The saltiness made him understand that the white crystal particles were salt, but this salt was too different from the salt eaten by the Aoki tribe, which was yellow-brown in color, and had various peculiar smells in addition to saltiness.
He tried peppercorn powder again.
Hiss!
The saltiness in the mouth is replaced by a spicy sensation.
"Poisonous?" This thought flashed in his mind, and Zhao Lin also ate a little peppercorn powder without any problems.
He simply dipped very little peppercorn powder, and the spicy feeling quickly weakened until the spicy feeling disappeared completely, but he kept savoring this strange taste in his mind.
One clansman tried, and after waiting for a while, and finding no problems, the other clansmen and even the Aoki chieftain tried white salt and peppercorn powder.
The Aoki Leader didn't have much feeling about the strange-tasting peppercorn powder for the time being, but the white salt surprised the Aoki Chieftain very much, and it would be nice if the Aoki tribe ate salt like white salt.
Someone once said that "salt is the world's largest poison/product, and humans cannot quit it", which points out the importance of salt to people, from the moment salt appeared, human beings can no longer get rid of salt, and it can be said that the status of salt is second only to food.
The quality of the salt obtained by the Aoki tribe was very poor, but the Aoki tribe could not do without the salt, and could only endure the peculiar smell of inferior salt.
"How is this salt exchanged?" The leader of Aoki pointed to the small bag of white salt and asked Zhao Lin with a gesture.
A small bag of white salt is packed in a catty, and a small bag of pepper powder is packed in one or two, the price of pepper powder is higher than that of white salt, and a pound of salt can probably make an adult eat for about three months.
Faced with Aoki's chieftain's inquiry, Zhao Lin replied without thinking: "Ten bags of salt are equal to a copper spear. ”
The leader of Aoki understood, thinking to himself: the amount of salt in the fingers of two hands is equivalent to a weapon, and it can be exchanged for some of this white salt.
Regarding the price of the commodity, in fact, the deer edge has been set, the copper spear and copper axe cast in coarse copper, the amount of coarse copper is the same, so the value of the copper spear and the copper axe is the same, and then ten bags of salt are ten catties of salt and the value of a copper spear is the same, the value of one or two peppercorns and a catty of salt is the same, as for the rattan shield, the value of the five-sided rattan shield and a copper spear is the same.
After more than ten breaths, the clansmen who had returned to the Aoki tribe's residence to carry things returned, and they put bundles of animal skins, baskets of grain, pottery, ornaments, etc. in front of Zhao Lin and Yingxi.
Aoki Chief: "How do you make the exchange?" ”
Zhao Lin didn't answer, but squatted down to pull the animal skin on the ground.
One skin, two skins, three skins...... Twenty animal skins, Zhao Lin counted a total of twenty relatively complete animal skins, and these animal skins were all stripped from adult beasts.
"These, in exchange for a weapon." Zhao Lin pointed to a spread of twenty animal skins and said to the leader of Aoki.
"What? So much to get in exchange for a weapon, too much. The Aoki leader had a look of surprise on his face, so many animal skins were exchanged for a weapon, and the Aoki tribe couldn't exchange it for a few weapons.
Zhao Lin: "Your tribe has seen the sharpness of our tribe's weapons, your tribe does not have such a good weapon, our tribe wants to make such a weapon is very difficult, it takes more than ten days to make one, our tribe should exchange a weapon for more animal skins, but considering that your tribe is the first tribe in our tribe to exchange items, the number of animal skins is reduced." ”
Zhao Lin is moving towards a qualified businessman, he needs to exaggerate the value of his goods as much as possible, and devalue the value of the items he has to deal with, so as to earn the maximum benefit for the dragon tribe, which is also one of the ways for Zhao Lin to make meritorious contributions.
For trading with other tribes, the dragon tribe still has a certain foundation, after all, when the snake tribe was in the snake tribe, the dragon tribe traded with the deer tribe, and after the dragon tribe was established, it also made brief transactions with several tribes that had become dragon tribe clans, and the aoki tribe was a pure novice.
However, the leader of Aoki and some of the clansmen of the Aoki tribe thought that Zhao Lin's words were reasonable, such a good weapon could be exchanged for one with twenty animal skins, and the Aoki tribe made a lot of money.
The Aoki leader had already approved in his heart that he could exchange so many animal skins for a weapon, but he was very troubled now, and there were not many animal skins that the Aoki tribe could take out to exchange, and at most they could only be exchanged for four or five weapons.
The Aoki Chieftain had a big plan, the Aoki Chieftain wanted to conquer a tribe called "Wolf" located in the southeast of the Aoki Tribe, the two tribes were relatively close, only a little more than half a day's journey, and the hunting teams of the two tribes often met.
I don't know what kind of hatred the ancestors of the two tribes have for each other, this hatred continues, so that the two tribes often clash, the Aoki tribe and even the wolf tribe have an ancestral teaching, and the ancestors hope that their descendants can destroy the other tribe.
The Aoki tribe has a larger population than the wolf tribe, and its strength is also a few points stronger, but the Aoki tribe can't attack the wolf tribe with all its might, even if the Aoki tribe destroys the wolf tribe, the Aoki tribe itself will be hit hard, and the hard-hit Aoki tribe is likely to be attacked by other tribes.
If you can obtain this good weapon that can penetrate the vine shield and shatter the vine shield, the strength of the Aoki tribe will increase greatly, and then the Aoki tribe will be able to capture the wolf tribe in one fell swoop, and it will suffer some losses itself, but it can be within the tolerance range of the Aoki tribe.
It doesn't matter if you lose some people, conquer the wolf tribe to get the woman of the wolf tribe, and give the Aoki tribe more than ten years, the Aoki tribe will become even more powerful than today, and it can also fulfill the last wishes of the ancestors, which is a matter of the previous leaders of the Aoki tribe and the dream of the witch.
Just as the Aoki leader was thinking, Zhao Lin continued to count the items that the Aoki tribe moved over for trading, and those pottery and ornaments were put aside by Zhao Lin, these things were useless to the Dragon Tribe, and the only things that could be used for trading were animal skins and grain.
Hides and food are still important to the dragon tribe, the dragon tribe now has sackcloth, but it does not mean that the animal skin is useless in the dragon tribe, it is best to wear a fur coat when going out in the cold winter, and you can also cover the animal skin when you sleep at night, the animal skin products are warmer than the linen products, and the linen cloth is used here is much worse than the animal skin.
In addition, animal skins can also be used to make shoes, and in the future, they can be used to make tanning.
It's a pity that with the increase in the population of the dragon tribe, the animal skins that can be obtained every year can no longer meet their own needs, and if they can get a large number of animal skins from the outside world, it is also a good thing for the dragon tribe.
