Chapter Forty-Six: Big Business

On the first day of the market, the Banpo dolphin caused a huge sensation to the natives of the wasteland.

The caravan lined up in a long line, carrying livestock after cattle, piles of goods, and a large herd of slaves to the Banpo dolphin camp. The people who checked the goods counted the piles of goods, which included fine pottery, gorgeous cloth, precious grain, snow-white salt, and piles of food that no one in the wasteland had ever seen or heard of.

The natives swallowed as they watched the mountains of goods, the sturdy slaves, and the tame livestock. They didn't know what kind of price Banpo Dolphin would have to pay in exchange for so many goods, but they knew that maybe they couldn't get these things if they combined the strength of their whole clan and worked hard for ten years.

Once again, these natives have a new understanding of the power of the Banpo dolphin. And this cognition stems from Banpo Dolphin's naked and undisguised behavior of showing off wealth, which makes them jealous, envious, and makes them feel hopeless.

Two winters ago, the Banpo dolphin was still a poor barehead who couldn't even afford to eat salt, but now the Banpo dolphin is so powerful, and all of this is due to their magical little boy Shaowu.

"It would be nice if there was a god-given boy in our tribe......" The simple natives thought subconsciously as they swallowed their saliva.

When the natives in the wasteland were lamenting the goods of the Banpo dolphin, Tang Ge was also lamenting a cargo.

"It's so beautiful!" Rubbing the pottery in his hand, Tang Ge subconsciously sighed.

In his experience in his previous life, when it comes to primitive people and primitive tribes, everyone subconsciously thinks of derogatory words such as "stupid", "stupid" and "ignorant", but in fact, primitive people are not stupid at all. The development of human beings from nothing, to contend with nature by virtue of their bodies, to taking up arms to hunt animals, to lighting fires, to enjoying cooked food, to developing a rich primitive civilization, this requires the joint efforts of countless talented and brilliant people. And the utensils of primitive society are not as simple and rough as those self-righteous "modern people" imagine. There are even many that are still exquisite, such as this black pottery in Tang Singer.

This is a black pottery cup. It's not an eggshell cup, it's not a goblet, it's not a hollow cup with a complicated pattern, it's a simple black pottery cup with a mouth and a foot at the bottom. The mouth of this cup is the same diameter as the foot, slightly thin from the mouth of the cup to the waist, and it is retracted back to the base, and the cup body is decorated with simple stripes, which at first glance is very ordinary. But if you look closely, you can feel that this cup is round, generous, whether it is the mouth or the slightly thin waist, and even the stripes on it are not very uniform, all give people an atmospheric, perfect, and natural feeling. Such exquisite utensils, Tang Ge had only seen them on the purple clay pots made by some national treasure-level masters in his previous life.

This black pottery cup has a beautiful shape and amazing craftsmanship. The whole cup is pitch black and shiny, the feel is delicate, it really deserves the reputation of being as black as lacquer, sound as loud, bright as a mirror, and as hard as porcelain.

Just such a simple shape, put in front of an ordinary person, it is estimated that it will take ten or eight years of effort, and it may not be able to imitate it. Therefore, compared with people in the era of science and technology, which have a very rich knowledge reserve, primitive people just don't understand, not stupid. Even, many primitive people are smarter than those self-righteous modern people, and they know how to use creation to beautify their lives.

"Where did it come from?" Tang Ge asked without raising his head.

"Zhongzhou." Lao Yao and Tang Ge sat opposite each other and replied slowly: "These things are also very precious in Zhongzhou. Thinking that the young witch would like it, he brought it over. ”

Tang Ge put the cup in the middle of a pile of black pottery, picked up a string of colorful shells with his fingers, and asked, "What about this?" Where did it come from? ”

"Dongyi."

"Huh!" Tang Ge sneered and said, "Shell coins, right?" You want to trade this thing for my bronzes and glass? ”

"It's a treasure, and it's precious." The old sickle replied.

"Hah! Baby! Tang Ge mocked his face and said, "There are many in the sea, where is it precious?" You can't eat, you can't drink, and you can't use it! ”

The old sickle smiled slightly and said, "Your glass is also something that cannot be eaten or drunk, and it is equally precious. ”

Tang Ge was not convinced, and said: "That's different, my glass is made by skilled craftsmen with a lot of effort, but this thing is casually fished in the sea, and you can catch as much as you want." ”

The old sickle did not show weakness, and said, "But they are all equally precious. Whether it is a baby or your glass, the status in Zhongzhou is the same. ”

Tang Ge looked impatient and said, "Okay!" Come on! Since I brought it, I'll keep it, but don't bring it next time. The black pottery is good, and the cloth is also very good, just bring more of these. I can't eat things that I can't use, I'm not uncommon. ”

Lao Yao said quite aggrievedly: "But these treasures are really precious in Zhongzhou." ”

Tang Ge waved his hand and said, "I understand, but I just can't figure it out, what is precious about this thing, isn't it just bells and whistles that look good?" Speaking of this, Tang Ge's mind turned, and then asked: "You say, if I imitate this and use bronze to make some treasures, is it more precious?" ”

The old sickle nodded approvingly and said, "Of course!" At least one for five! ”

Tang Ge was immediately deflated.

"Tell me, what good goods did you bring me this time?" After a long time, Tang Ge asked lazily.

When it came to business, Lao Yao suddenly sat upright, and said: "A large amount of salt, salted fish, seafood, as well as cattle, deer and other livestock, twelve pieces of cloth, one hundred and ten pieces of black pottery, and many high-quality animal skins." There are also many gems and stones. ”

"Yes!" Tang Ge nodded with satisfaction and said, "Doing business with you, I am the most assured, I believe that the things you bring must be worth the money, but Lao Lian, let's make such a small fuss, it's not interesting, are you interested in doing a big business?" ”

When the old man heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, lowered his voice and asked, "I don't know what kind of business Shaowu is talking about?" ”

"There's no need to be so sneaky." Tang Ge laughed and beckoned to the old sickle, "You come with me." ”

The old sickle followed Tang Ge to a huge tent, and there were half-slope dolphin tribesmen scattered around the tent to guard, and when they entered the tent, they found that it was full of beautiful large wooden boxes. Tang Ge opened a box, only to see that it was neatly lit, and there were exquisite bronze swords stacked inside, and the old sickle immediately gasped when he saw this.

Tang Ge opened the second box without stopping, which was full of a box of bronze spearheads, the third was a round shield with exquisite patterns, the fourth was a bronze knife with a wide handle, the fifth was a huge bronze axe, and the sixth box was filled with colorful glazed ware.

The old sickle's eyes were not enough, he touched this with a trembling hand, carried that, and then looked at the wooden box behind him, which had not yet been opened, and only felt that his brain was deprived of oxygen for a while, and he was so dizzy that he seemed to be in a dream, and he couldn't believe the scene in front of him.

"Five boxes of each! How about the old sickle, this business is big enough, right? Tang Ge's ethereal voice reached Lao Yao's ears, and finally recalled a trace of his clarity.

"Big enough! It's just too big! The old sickle replied in a trembling voice.
