Chapter 3 Mutual Satisfaction
"Okay, what about the other things?" Tang Ge asked with a smile.
The old sickle waved his hand, and immediately two people came over with something in their arms, and when they got closer, they saw that one person was holding a wooden box, and the wooden box was full of silkworm chrysalis, and the person next to him was holding a spinning wheel. There was nothing new about the silkworm chrysalis, but the spinning wheel surprised Tang Ge.
The spinning wheel is used for spinning, and the main body is a stone that has been polished into a round shape with a hole in the middle to which a wooden stick can be inserted. When spinning, tie a number of strands of fine thread to the wooden stick, the pottery piece falls below, as long as the wooden stick is the leg, the disc below will start to rotate, and the multi-strand thin thread will be twisted into a thick line under the drive of the disc, and then automatically wound to the wooden stick.
What surprised Tang Ge was not the exquisite and simple design of the spinning wheel, but the fact that he had seen this thing in the countryside when he was a child in his previous life. At that time, the little daughters-in-law and old ladies in the countryside got together, and when the parents chatted for a short time, there were many people holding this kind of spinning wheel, and they were spinning while chatting. What he didn't expect was that this thing had existed in primitive societies, and it had been circulating for thousands of years and had never been replaced!
"Even the wisdom of primitive people cannot be underestimated!" Tang Ge sighed in his heart.
When the old sickle took out these two things, he had an expression of offering treasures, but Tang Ge asked lightly: "That's all?" What about looms? Didn't you? ”
"Loom?" The old sickle looked dazed.
Tang Ge asked again: "Are there any of these slaves who will be able to draw silk?" ”
"Pulling the ???" The old sickle was completely stunned.
"And among these slaves, are there any who can weave?" Tang Ge asked again.
The old sickle smiled bitterly and said: "Young witch, you are laughing, the people who will prevent it are all treasures, how can they take it out and sell it." ”
Tang Ge also smiled. Whether it is linen or silk, it is a luxury in this era, the output is very low, the price is extremely high, even some large tribes do not necessarily use it. The silk that Lao Kao gave him last time seemed to him to be nothing more than that, but Lao Kao might not have paid a lot of price for this silk.
The old sickle suddenly gritted his teeth, and after making an important decision, he said to Tang Ge: "Speaking of textiles, I know a little!" ”
"Oh!?" Tang Ge looked curious.
Lao Kao said: "There is a steward in our tribe, and I once saw someone else weaving cloth from a distance. Those people weave cloth with threads attached to stakes and the other end tied to their waists! Just because I saw this, our steward almost died. ”
"Tie your waist?" Tang Ge's face was novel, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with anything to do with the weaving cloth and the waist, so he could only laugh and scold: "A group of primitive monkeys." ”
Seeing that Tang Ge was not interested, the old sickle stopped talking. He also saw that the news that their tribal steward was almost exchanged for his life was not taken seriously by others at all in Tang Ge, and he was originally a little arrogant, but now it has completely died down.
Speaking of silk, people will naturally think of the picturesque water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, where graceful women raise silkworms and reel silk, and then use Qianqian jade hands to weave them into gorgeous silk and sell them all over the world. Few people would have thought that the technology of raising silkworms and reeling silk and weaving, whether it is the origin or glory, originated from the Central Plains.
According to ancient legends, the wife of the Yellow Emperor invented silkworm breeding and silk, and taught the people, which allowed the people of the world to bid farewell to the era of animal skin and bird feathers, and people had soft and beautiful clothes to wear. Whether this legend is credible or not, it is undeniable that silk and textile technology were first used in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the Silk Road of world civilization also traded products from the Central Plains back and forth.
Tang Ge was a native of Central China in his last life. When he was a child, the silk industry in central China had gradually declined, but there were still many mulberry trees in the countryside of his hometown, and many people raised a few dustpans of silkworms to subsidize their families. Therefore, although Tang Ge has never raised silkworms with his own hands, he is no stranger to this. Moreover, Tang Ge is very disgusted with almost all mollusks, but he can reluctantly accept silkworms, and he has also fished with silkworm babies in his last life, and the effect is also very good.
Originally, Tang Ge thought that the textile industry in this world had been popularized, after all, he had bought a lot of linen cloth from Lao Yao, and after discussing with Lao Yao this time, he realized that cloth was a top luxury in this world, especially large pieces of fabric, and its high value made Tang Ge smack. And his own jar of wine can be equivalent to a piece of silk, which makes Tang Ge blush a little, and secretly says that it is still a monopoly with high returns!
Tang Ge followed the old sickle through all his goods. The goods prepared by the old sickle for Banpo Dolphin this trip included fifty slaves, forty head of livestock, most of them cattle and horses, at least 8,000 catties of various grains, more than 1,000 catties of fine salt, all kinds of cloth, some strange spices and medicinal herbs, jewelry and jade, but he did not bring any of them.
After all these things were removed, there was nothing left for Lao Kao's caravan to trade in the market, which shows that Lao Kao really spent a lot of money in order to tie up the Banpo dolphin.
Tang Ge also did not disappoint Lao Yao. After coming to Tang Ge's tent, Lao Yao was really startled by the neatly stacked boxes on the table.
Tang Ge didn't sell it, and directly opened a box to show Lao Yao, when Lao Yao saw that there was a layer of colorful and colorful glass beads inside this box, the whole person was stupid, grabbed a handful of glass beads with trembling hands, and kept looking at them in front of him, and even his eyes became confused with excitement.
"Beautiful! It's so beautiful! The old sickle said as if he was fascinated.
"How? Are you satisfied with my goods? Tang Ge said to the old sickle with a playful face.
The old face raised his head, looked at the pile of large and small boxes on the table, and said in a daze: "This ...... These are all ...... Is this a treasure? ”
"Think beautifully! This treasure is called glass, you remember! As he spoke, Tang Ge opened a box next to him and showed it to the old sickle.
"This! This is gold!? The old sickle exclaimed.
In this box, there is a set of five copper pins of different sizes from large to small, with a copper awl, and the five copper pins and awls are neatly placed in the dark slot in the box. Needles and awls are essential tools for sewing animal skins, and they can be said to be indispensable daily necessities for every tribe. However, everyone uses bone needles and bone awls, and the things sewn out are also thick and rough. As long as you think about it, you can know how far worse the effect is compared to the effect of copper needle sewing. What's more, don't look at it as just a copper needle, but it's a gold object! Although Lao Yao thought that sooner or later he would get the right to operate Banpo Dolphin Goldware, when Tang Ge really put the gold in front of him, he was still so excited that he couldn't help himself.
The old sickle's expression made Tang Ge feel very accomplished, so Tang Ge simply opened all the wooden boxes one by one, and the old sickle cooperated with the sound of gasping cold air again and again.
Tang Ge said a lot of things for Lao Yao, and a lot of them. In addition to the box of beads that are not round enough, there are also some glass pendants and glass ornaments. In addition to needles and awls, there are also scissors, small copper mirrors, copper combs, copper jue, copper bowls, copper cups and other daily necessities, of course, there are a few short daggers that can defend themselves. Each of these things comes with a beautiful wooden box, and this wooden box alone is also a good commodity.
These things are left over from the long-distance team. Originally, according to Tang Ge's meaning, before Banpo Dolphin had no ability to ignore any enemy, he would not allow any weapons that could threaten the safety of the clansmen to flow out, and even the sneak attack on the sunspots was done with unquenched inferior spears, which shows how much Tang Ge attaches importance to the circulation of gold artifacts.
But for the sake of the totem, the people have no bottom line at all, and they can't wait to empty the entire tribe to join the Yan Alliance. Fortunately, these people are the clansmen of Banpo Dolphin's reputation, even if the totem can't welcome them back, they don't have to worry about others attacking them with the weapons that Banpo Dolphin has refined himself. And Tang Ge's transaction this time also has the meaning of wiping the ass of the clansmen.
White things, I don't know how distressed. Banpo dolphin sent out a large number of gold and glass products at one time, others will not feel precious, and even some greedy people may want to get more. Only by letting them see the value of these gifts will they understand how much they have given them.
"Young Witch, these are for me!?" The old sickle asked with a dull expression. Happiness came too suddenly, and he couldn't accept it for a while.
"Yes, it's all for you." Tang Ge said lightly.
"But...... That's too much! I don't have enough stuff with me! The old sickle had a look of remorse, if he had the opportunity to get so many treasures this time, he would have emptied the tribe like a tribe, and he would have to bring enough goods. He didn't want to give up any of these treasures in front of him.
Tang Ge said with a smile: "It's okay, you can take all the things, just send me the equivalent goods later." It's up to you how much it's worth, it doesn't matter if you earn more. ”
The old sickle was stunned, he had run a caravan all his life, and he had never heard of such a heavy treasure that could be taken away first and then settled.
"You're not afraid that I'll take something and run away?" The old sickle asked cautiously.
Tang Ge said with a smile: "Of course I'm not afraid, being able to say this sentence shows that you still don't know about Banpo Dolphin." Those who offend the Banpo dolphin are hiding in the sky, and we will also dig them out, so that they can understand the fate of offending the Banpo dolphin. ”
Tang Ge's words are not false. The only enemy of the Banpo dolphin, the Blood Palm Tribe, has not been heard from for many years, but the people of the Banpo dolphin are still worried and trying to find them out. Once there is news of them, even if they hide at the ends of the earth, Banpo Dolphin will kill the enemy thousands of miles and avenge this revenge.
Although Tang Ge smiled, Lao Yao couldn't help but shudder. He was surprised to find that he actually felt murderous in a teenager!
