Chapter 226: Generous Reward
Two days later, with the return of the first expedition, the tribe soon spread the news of the expedition's harvest.
The steward of the trading post, looking at the six slaughtered prey, smelled the smell, and saw that the meat was still fresh, so he called two men and weighed the meat on a scale.
"Steward, these meats are a total of three hundred and fifty-six catties."
The steward nodded when he heard this, and said to the expedition team: "These meats are good, and you also know that the price of meat is two copper coins a catty, and yes, you are bone-in-one, so let's count these meats, I will count you as a copper coin and a catty." ”
Zhao Dashu discussed it with the others, and felt that this was okay, so he nodded and agreed.
In order for the trading post to function normally, Wang Lang spent a long time training the steward, and now simple addition and subtraction still can't be difficult for him.
The steward wrote the Arabic numeral 356 on the smooth wooden board with a carbon rod.
"These meats are three hundred and fifty-six copper coins, and these teeth and two dinosaur skins are also going to be sold?" The steward asked.
Zhao Dashu nodded, "How many copper coins can these give." ”
The steward carefully inspected the goods and said, "These teeth are not of much value, if you want to sell them, I will give you ten copper coins, and these two dinosaur skins are twenty copper coins each." ”
"Isn't that a little too little, and you know how hard this dinosaur is!" Zhao Dashu said with a frown.
The steward smiled, "Of course I know, but there is no way, if this dinosaur skin is made into a bowstring, it can be more expensive, now this can only be this price, if you are not too troublesome, you can dispose of these dinosaur skins and come again, I will give you two copper coins for a bowstring, like this one can make more than 20 bowstrings is not a problem, and this price is also set by the leader." ”
After the steward finished speaking, several people discussed it, and finally agreed to the price.
The transaction was completed quickly, this time the expedition team went out of a mission to harvest 406 copper coins, these twelve people divided, each of them got thirty-three copper coins, the extra few people discussed, all gave Zhao Dashu, if it were not for his calm command, everyone could not successfully hunt dinosaurs.
"What's the price of these two cubs?" Zhao Dashu asked.
The steward looked at the two cubs, "This thing is not purchased at the trading post, you can go and ask the leader what to do with it." ”
Several people were a little disappointed when they heard this, and everyone thought that these two people could sell for a good price, but now they don't know what to do.
After a few people finished dividing the money, they had to lead the two cubs towards Wang Lang's residence.
The clansmen watched the members of the expedition come out of the trading post, their eyes were focused on the animal skin pockets around their waists, and looking at their bulging appearance, they must have packed a lot of copper coins, and the rich receipt made many people's eyes warm, and they also had the intention of going out to try it.
Finding Wang Lang, Zhao Dashu said respectfully: "Chief, you said before that if we catch the cubs of the beast, we can keep them ourselves, but now we feel that it is useless to keep them, and the trading post will not buy them, and now we don't know what to do." ”
Wang Lang looked at these two antelope-like animals, thought for a while and said, "Since you don't want it, then I can talk to the trading post and buy these two cubs, but you have thought about it, if these two beasts grow up, they will sell for a good price, at least one will get fifty copper coins, and now one can only buy ten copper coins." ”
Several people discussed for a while, and they all felt that although fifty copper coins was a lot, they didn't know how long it would take for these two cubs to grow up, and if they died halfway, they probably wouldn't get a copper plate.
"Chief, we've thought about it, we still want to sell your cub here." Zhao Dashu said.
Wang Lang nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to the steward of the trading post." ”
After Wang Lang's confession, the trading post purchased the two cubs with twenty copper coins, and in the future, the two cubs will belong to the public property of the tribe and the tribe will be responsible for raising them.
The expedition team with spare money in their pockets made some purchases at the trading post, and even bought a pair of pants for one person, the price of clothes was too expensive, but it was still okay to buy only pants.
With the successful experience of the first expedition, nearly twenty people wanted to form a new expedition the next day, but after Wang Lang's selection for a while, more than a dozen people were screened, and the remaining thirteen people formed the second expedition.
For the current manpower, maintaining two expeditions is the limit of the tribe, which makes many people who want to form a clan suddenly beat their chests and secretly hate themselves for not seizing the opportunity.
After Zhao Dashu and the others repaired in the tribe for two days, they found Wang Lang again.
"You want to go to the jungle?" Wang Lang asked in surprise.
Zhao Dashu nodded and said, "Chief, this second expedition team has gone to hunt wild beasts in the wild, and although the harvest is also very large, there are not many copper coins distributed to each of us, so Wangmen wants to go to the jungle to try his luck." ”
Wang Lang pondered for a while and said, "Okay, you must be careful when you enter the jungle, it is much more dangerous than the grassland. ”
"We'll pay attention, we work well together." Zhao Dashu said confidently.
"In that case, if you can come back alive and bring things alive, then I will let you retire from the army and only be responsible for expedition missions in the future." Wang Lang said slowly.
Several people were overjoyed when they heard this, which was undoubtedly good news for them, as long as they could devote themselves to the adventure activities in a new way, they firmly believed that they would be able to live a better life.
"Chief, we'll definitely bring back something good." Zhao Dashu patted his chest and reassured.
Wang Lang nodded, "The primary goal of your trip to the jungle is to find edible plants or fruits, and if you find strange stones, you must also bring them back, in addition to these, if there are other noteworthy things, you can't let go, if you can do this well, I will reward you again when you come back." ”
After everyone wrote down Wang Lang's words, they went back to prepare non-stop, this time it was not as good as before, the jungle was a completely unfamiliar environment to them, although two roads were built, but it was still insignificant for this vast jungle.
After two days of preparation, the members of the first expedition team brought enough dry food and drinking water, and then confidently marched towards the jungle, whether the front was opportunity or death, the expedition team had no way of knowing, but for a better life, everyone had to bite the bullet into the jungle.
