Chapter 51 Trade

"What deal?"

The sheikh of the grass skirt asked vigilantly, the young Yan King in front of him always felt that his words were unexpected, and this time, he was going to get something out again.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"Now that we have exchanged prisoners, I think that the benefits of our cooperation in the future will definitely outweigh the hostilities, and you see, it is so, our camp needs trees as construction, and ...... Your Shennong tribe said that this is your territory, and we are not allowed to cut wood, so you have what we need here, and we have what you need here......"

"Haha...... What can you little exiled tribe need? Don't talk nonsense here, I think it's just a miracle of making fire, and we can barely use it. ”

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry, he turned his head and instructed the members of the Yan clan to carefully pick up something and put it in an open space between the two sides, so that the other party could take a look.

"What is this? Dried up mud? What do we want for this? The Straw Skirt Chief asked with a frown.

The two chiefs behind him also took a step forward curiously, carefully looking at the thing on the ground.

It was the pottery that Lin Yuan had just fired in the morning, and the one that came up was one of the five pottery experiments that were fired, this is a flat large plate, or it can be said to be some kind of pan, a very large one, because it was pinched by the women of the Yan nationality, so the appearance does not look beautiful, it is just an ordinary clay plate, but fortunately, there was no cracking during firing, and it is complete.

Lin Yuan coughed and said:

"We call this thing pottery, this is just an experiment, for display, if you are interested, we can trade more ......"

"What's the use of this thing?" The fat chief of the Tu tribe muttered, and although he didn't understand what the test object meant, he could at least see that there didn't seem to be anything special about this thing.

Lin Yuan smiled, commanded a few people from the Yan tribe, lifted the disc pottery, and filled some streams in the stream on the side.

The earthy yellow pottery was filled with water and placed smoothly on several stone blocks.

"Oooh...... This mud won't melt away! Hey, look, this mud can actually hold water! The fat chief couldn't help but say.

The sheikh of the Shennong clan snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice with a disapproving face:

"Isn't it just a mud pot that is not afraid of water, what's the use, we can use a leather wooden bowl to fill water."

As soon as the Straw Skirt Chief's voice fell, several people beside him nodded yes.

The old man, who had just been exchanged, also widened his eyes, looked at the pottery, and suddenly remembered something, and muttered in his chief's ear.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, and then asked people to pick up some dry firewood on the spot and pile it under the pottery, and then let the blade go over and light the fire.

For the primitive people of the Stone Age, artificial fire is a matter of the Holy Spirit in any case, although Lin Yuan has explained to his subordinates that the fire miracle is a secret that can be taught, but he still only taught a few important people, and everyone feels that the person who can be appointed by King Yan as the ignition messenger is the supreme glory.

The blade carefully and respectfully took the flint and granite that Lin Yuan handed him over, took out a piece of dry hemp rope from his arms, lay on the ground of the pottery, and carefully hit the stones, once, twice...... After a while, a wisp of green smoke rose, and the blade blew a few breaths through his mouth, and then hurriedly added dead grass and branches, and with a bang, red flames came out.

In just a few minutes, the Shennong clan had already been dumbfounded, if they were still a little skeptical about whether the Yan clan was really capable of making fire out of thin air, then this fire show performed by the blade on the spot was enough to convince them.

Especially the chiefs of the two small tribes, they are used to being oppressed by the Shennong tribe with herbs on weekdays, and they definitely won't miss such an opportunity to turn over and get miracles in front of them.

"Good, good!! What a miracle of the god of fire, artificial fire! Be sure to pass it on to us! ”

The fat chief of the Turkish tribe said happily.

"Okay, don't worry, all three of us have a share, don't forget, I'm the leader of the alliance......"

The sheikh of the Shennong clan in the grass skirt looked at him impatiently, then raised his chin and said:

"Burn with fire? What are you guys going to do here? ”

Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said:

"Boil water with fire, and show you what this pottery is really for."

"Fire boils water?? Water overcomes fire! How can this fire boil water? ”

The thin chief of the Bai clan muttered to himself.

A bunch of primitive people just stared at the fire in the middle, and after seeing the fire burning, Lin Yuan ordered a few people to move some firewood and help the blades burn the fire more vigorously.

Fortunately, this time the trial was a flat-bottomed large mud pan, the water in it was not deep, the mouth was shallow, and the area in contact with the fire was large, so after a while, the water began to churn, and bursts of steam came out.

A few primitive people who had never seen it couldn't help but retreat, and the Straw Skirt Chief said as he retreated:

"What kind of sorcery is this! The river actually moves! And the fog! Be careful!!! ”

Their men hurriedly raised their stone spears as if they were facing a great enemy.

Lin Yuan laughed, took out a piece of wild wolf jerky from his body, threw it into the boiling water, and after a while, the flesh foaming with blood was cooked, and a smell of meat permeated the forest.

The old man of the Shennong grass picker stretched out his nose and asked, and hurriedly said:

"Ahh Chief, that's what it tastes like! Yes, that's the taste! I asked about the taste at their camp! ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and then said:

"Everyone, don't be afraid, this is not some witchcraft, this is the boiling water method that our Yan people have been using, by boiling water, you can kill the unclean things in the river water, make the water cleaner, if you add raw meat, you can cook meat, you can also drink broth, than barbecue to eat, both nutritious, and clean......"

Lin Yuan walked to the pottery, picked up a branch, stirred it gently, and then pretended to be intoxicated.

The primitive people around stopped retreating, and some of them were bold, and they took a step forward, sniffling, and asked about the smell of meat.

"This ...... Boiled meat...... Good...... Is it tasty? ”

The fat chief of the Tu clan couldn't help it anymore, his saliva was half a foot long, and he looked at Lin Yuan with a coveted expression.

Lin Yuan smiled, asked people to take a wooden bowl, scooped out a spoonful of broth, added a piece of cooked wolf meat, and sent someone to bring it to the fat chief.

"Chief, you have to blow and drink, don't burn, this thing is as hot as fire."

Lin Yuan gave a serious instruction, and the fat chief blew it carefully, and then took a sip.

"Wow!!!"

Several people beside him were startled, and the Straw Skirt Chief frowned and asked with concern:

"What's wrong! Are you okay, they poisoned? I have herbs here......"

The fat chieftain grew his hand for a while, drove the other party away, and laughed loudly:

"Wowhaha, it's so delicious! It's so delicious! ”

Lin Yuan smiled with satisfaction, circled around the pottery, and then gently tapped the edge of the pottery with a branch, and said:

"This pottery is used to make broth, our pottery is not afraid of fire, nor water, in this world, there is nothing like it, water and fire are not afraid, as long as you get the pottery, you can eat more delicious food, and you can drink cleaner water...... Does it work...... For example, if you have frequent diarrhea, it won't happen! ”

Lin Yuan looked at the fat chief of the Tu clan and said with a wicked smile, Ah Fu had told him before that the Tu chief had to buy herbs from the Shennong clan every once in a while because he often had diarrhea, and the saber-toothed tiger bone last time was used to treat him for diarrhea.

"Good! Not bad! This one...... The pottery is really good! I wonder how King Yan plans to exchange it? ”

The Shennong clan straw skirt chief grabbed ahead of the fat chief and said.

Lin Yuan smiled slightly, pointed to the pottery and said:

"Since you've been talking about it for so long, then I'm not going to beat around the bush, a piece of pottery, for 10 wild boars or 50 logs, if you have other prey, you can also exchange, the amount should be about the same......

“…… This one...... Ten wild boars is not a small number, we can get so many in a week, and there are fewer and fewer prey in the mountains now...... Log...... You can ......," the Hula Chief hesitated.

"Don't talk nonsense, I want it! Come on, get me 5 pottery! ”

The fat chief of the Tu tribe took a step forward, he snorted coldly at the Shennong tribe, and added:

"Our Tu tribe is rich in prey, this thing is nothing, hey, what kind of king is that, your pottery won't be broken after a few uses, right?"

Lin Yuan's eyebrows jumped, and he said with a smile:

"Of course not, if it's broken, I'll replace it for you!"

How many times can this test product be used for the first time, Lin Yuan didn't know how many times he could use it, but when he was negotiating trade, he couldn't make the other party feel that the quality of the goods was not good, anyway, this thing was burned out of clay, and it didn't take much effort, and if it was broken, he would be replaced with another one.

"Good, good!! So when can you trade? "The Turkish chieftain can't wait.

Lin Yuan scratched his head and said:

"After 10 days, we have just started to set up camp recently, there are still many things to do, maybe the output is not large, after the 10th, we will still come here to trade, 5 pottery, 50 wild boars!"

"Good! Deal! The Turkish chief said excitedly.

Lin Yuan was also happy in his heart, these primitive people are really easy to deceive, a few clay pots burned in mud can be exchanged for dozens of wild boars, which is enough food for the tribesmen to eat for a long time, now, before waiting for the grain planted in the ground to mature, the food problem of the Yan people does not have to worry.

"Wait a minute! We want the Bai clan too! Give us 5 pottery too! We have few wild boars there, we exchange hares and pheasants! ”

Lin Yuan nodded with a smile and said:

"Good! No problem. ”

The chief of the Shennong tribe was speechless, his eyes were fixed on the pottery that was being boiled in front of him, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said:

"We don't have to wait 10 days, we want it now, we want this!"

With that, he pointed to the clay plate under his eyes.

Lin Yuan snorted coldly in his heart, thinking to himself, this old fox, really smart, he must be reluctant to spend a lot of money to buy my pottery, it is estimated that he wants to get this pottery plate back first, and then research and make it himself, so as to break the monopoly of the Yan clan.

It seems that there is a reason why this Shennong tribe can survive at the mouth of the valley for so long, and the IQ of this chief's head is still significantly higher than that of the chiefs of the other two tribes.

But Lin Yuan is not worried, what does it matter if he lets him take it, just let him know the secret of firing pottery, you know, pottery can not be burned with any soil, it must be used with clay on the side of the river, and the clay mine is firmly in the hands of the Yan clan at this moment.

"Okay, yes, but this is our commemorative model, we can't sell it casually, at least it's worth double the price, 20 wild boars."

"We don't have wild boars right now...... As you just said, is that log okay? Is that the kind of wood they cut down? ”

The Grass Skirt Chief pointed to the big tooth behind Lin Yuan, who had just cut half of the wood.

"Logs are fine, 200 logs!"

Lin Yuan sat on the ground and raised the price. "Oh, by the way, you don't need to move it after chopping, just throw it into the river, just go downstream, and we will have someone to receive it downstream." Lin Yuan added dryly.

A thin bead of sweat appeared on the head of the Hula Chieftain, as if he was fighting fiercely in his heart, and finally he turned his heart sideways and said:

"Good! That's it, deal! ”
