Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Strange Deal
"Maybe we're asking in the wrong way."
Luo Ze looked around, took out a roll of animal skins from his basket, and walked to the stall of the Wild Tribe.
"Do you want to change the lamb? We have the freshest lamb here! ”
The stalls of the wilderness tribes were not very crowded, and their stalls should have been very popular in the spring when food was scarce, but in fact, the place was full of people and there was a lot of depression.
Unlike the wild boar, which has a good business in the Purple Flower Tribe, the goat meat of the Wild Tribe, the lean meat is as hard as a stone, and the fat is greasy and unpalatable, not only has many bones, but also exudes a strong smell.
It's good that the people of their own tribe are used to snacking, but when the other tribes smell this taste, they think that they are completely taking out rotten meat and selling it.
Luo Ze endured the smell and leaned over to ask, if he hadn't seen a leg of mutton as long as an arm on their stall, he wouldn't want to endure this kind of biochemical attack.
But from this leg of mutton, it may be that this beast is the right size to pull the plow.
"You only change animal skins?"
Luo Ze shook the roll of animal skin in his hand, the Purple Flower Tribe has cotton clothes, and the most important thing is animal skin.
"Yes, yes, yes! You see, our whole leg of lamb is as long as you have a skin! ”
When the stall owner saw that Luo Ze had put the animal skins on the ground of their stall, he immediately greeted enthusiastically.
"What is a sheep, doesn't this beast produce fur?"
In the past, the Purple Flower Tribe and the Wilderness Tribe did not have much contact, but since the hemp rope began to circulate in the market, the two sides are now somewhat familiar.
The boss before the deal was made was the best person to talk to, and Luo Ze pretended to be curious.
"You said sheep, they often pass by not far from our tribe, and they can't finish eating, but this skin is too bad."
Goats' fur is not thick, they are made into clothes and worn on their bodies, and they lose their fur when they move, they do not know how to tann their furs, and the processing fees of the mountain tribes are too expensive, and heating is a big problem every winter.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been collecting hides since spring.
The best animal skins in the south are tiger skins and bear skins, but this kind of beautiful and warm animal skins are hard to come by, and everyone knows that these two animals are cannibals.
In addition, there are bobcat skins and fox skins, and the wilderness tribes are on an open hillside, with no woods, and they can hardly catch these two animals.
There is no shortage of food, but I have to worry about dressing!
"What does a sheep look like?"
"Goats, they're so tall, white, with a pair of horns, and they're pretty fast!"
The stall owners compared the size of the goats, they have some experience in hunting, and tripwires made of hemp rope can catch many sheep at one time.
"We can exchange warm winter clothes with you for goats, but we don't want mutton, but live sheep."
Thinking of the cotton and cloth left in the warehouse, Roze saw an opportunity.
"Live sheep? What are you going to do? ”
The stall owner was very surprised, and what they took out to sell was the best meat from the sheep, and no one changed it.
Could it be that the Purple Flower Tribe likes to eat other leftovers?
Now in the eyes of others, purple flowers are almost synonymous with wonder.
"I'll talk about this later."
The deal has not yet been completed, and it is impossible for Luo Ze to say their plans to raise livestock in a crowded place.
"And how many winter coats can you come up with?"
The stall owner is not a fool and allows others to draw a big pie.
"How much do you want?"
Luo Ze's confidence in speaking, that is not ordinary self-confidence.
"We want baskets like yours, ten full baskets!"
At this time, the stall owner already felt that Luo Ze was talking big and playing tricks, so he learned Luo Ze's arrogant tone and said angrily.
"No problem, when are you going to talk about this deal?"
Luo Ze didn't blink his eyes, just nodded.
Not to mention that the people of the Wilderness Tribe were stupid, even the people who came with Luo Ze opened their mouths in surprise.
Do they have that much cotton in reserve?
Besides, they don't need so many sheep!
I don't know if this thing can be raised!
However, Luo Ze's momentum completely suppressed the stall owners of the wilderness tribe.
I saw that he looked around blankly, panicking like a dog, such a big deal, he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"These hides should be considered as a deposit for you, and I hope to hear an answer soon."
Luo Ze also knows this kind of thing, the stall owner must ask the patriarch to decide, it is still early, if the Wild Tribe goes back to report now, he can get a reply within a day.
So saying, he took off his cotton coat and folded it neatly beside the fur.
It was still very cold in early spring, but fortunately they got up early and set off, so they all put animal skin coats on top of their cotton clothes.
"This, your winter coat?"
The stall owner picked up the cotton coat, stared back and forth with wide eyes, he had never seen such a beast skin, for a while, he even forgot to sell mutton, rolled up the cotton coat and took it back to the patriarch to see.
"Then we'll wait here."
The wilderness tribe left one person to watch the stall, and everyone in Purple Flower also sat on the side of the road, and those who didn't know thought that the two tribes were selling things together.
"Patriarch, do we have enough reserves?"
Ana asked quietly.
"It's not enough now, it's enough in the fall."
Roze replied.
What's more, it's spring, and it's completely too late to expand the cotton fields.
"They'll wait, who's going to wear cotton clothes in the summer?"
The stall owner who reported the news had a good foot, and he came back shortly after the afternoon, but he looked a little tired as he kept hurrying, and he still had a ridged thing in his arms.
"This is for you! Counts as a deposit! ”
What the stall owner brought back was a little lamb wrapped in hay!
“???”
Even if it was a person like Luo Ze who had seen the world, he took the little lamb with a blank face, and held the white-haired beast who was constantly struggling in his arms with a stiff posture.
Aren't the wilderness tribes too sincere?
"Leg of lamb for you, too! Take it! We'll be good brothers from now on! ”
The stall owner asked the patriarch, and the clan center thought that the goats were running all over the place, and if they could exchange for such a soft and warm winter coat, wouldn't it be like pie falling from the sky!
The tribesmen hurriedly sent him back to report the news.
"So when are we going to make a deal?"
Holding the little lamb, Luo Ze, whose expression was not serious, asked.
"This batch of sheep has been killed and eaten for meat except for this one, and as soon as we catch them alive, we will send them to you!"
The people of the Purple Flower tribe didn't expect that they could also do such a good thing as home delivery.
"Then it's decided!"
It is also rare for a transaction to make people on both sides feel that it has been earned.
