【072】Meat jerky for medicinal herbs
"Which tribe are you from?" The person on the other side did not show any panicked looks when he saw Shen Nong and the others, but was still stunned, and asked very curiously.
Given that the other side did not show a hostile appearance, Shen Nong directly smiled and said, "You first tell which tribe you belong to. ”
"That's not going to work, the chief said, if you go out and meet people from other tribes, you must not say the name of your own tribe, otherwise it will attract danger. This person said very honestly.
"Then you come over and we'll talk. Shen Nong waved his hand.
"No, I still have to look for food, and if I don't find food to eat before I go back to the tribe, the chief and the witch will blame me. ”
"It turns out that this person is the same as the Flying Shell, they are all collectors, and the members of the collection team usually don't leave the tribe too far, it seems that this person's tribe should be around here. Shen Nong thought in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to Chi and asked, "Chi, do you know any tribes around here?"
"Like...... Yes I remember that the Huang Zhen tribe was around here. Chi thought about it, nodded and said.
"Does this tribe also participate in the Ten Ministries Conference?" Shen Nong asked.
"No, except for the Tushan tribe, none of the Huang tribe likes to trade with other tribes, so our Ten Tribes have no connection with this tribe, even if they are invited to join the Ten Tribes Conference, this tribe will not come. Chi shook his head and said.
"It's so withdrawn. Shen Nong couldn't help but be a little curious, as far as he knew, each tribe had its own scarce and surplus things, and the purpose of the transaction was to take out the surplus things in his tribe and exchange them for scarce things with other tribes, so as to make up for the shortcomings, so as to ensure the balance of resources in his tribe.
And this behavior of the Huang Zhen tribe is simply no different from the isolation of the country, and if it is maintained in the long run, the development of their tribe will definitely not be as good as that of other tribes.
Just as the man was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly stood still, looked at Shen Nong and the others with some hesitation and asked, "I said, can I exchange medicinal herbs for food with you?"
"Medicinal materials?" Shen Nong was stunned, in the Huangqiu tribe, medicinal materials were a very scarce resource.
As for food, the hunting party can go hunting wild beasts or go to the white side to stab fish with sharpened sticks.
In terms of water sources, the ditches in the Huangqiu tribe have been successfully opened to water, and there is no shortage of water at all.
As for salt, not to mention the more than ten bags of salt stored in the cellar, as long as Shen Nong takes the time to take the tribesmen to dig up the underground salt lake hidden under the hillside, and then scoop the salt water to dry, then the Huangqiu tribe will have enough salt to use, and there is no need to worry at all.
But this medicinal material has always been a big problem in the Huangqiu tribe.
Medicinal materials are a resource that pays great attention to the growth environment, where the growth environment is good, there are more medicinal materials, and where the growth environment is poor, there are fewer medicinal materials.
The area around the Huangqiu tribe in the four directions is not too good for the growth of medicinal herbs, so every time Feihu leads the team out, he can only pick back a few poor herbs, which is not enough for the entire tribe to use.
Every time the Ten Ministries Conference was held, Xiong Yao would bring a large amount of food and water to exchange medicinal materials with the people of the other nine tribes, even a small amount of medicinal materials, for the Huangqiu tribe, it was a resource that must be obtained.
Now when he heard that the person on the other side actually wanted to trade with him with medicinal materials, Shen Nong was naturally very excited in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes, but how many medicinal materials do you have?"
"Come and have a look. ”
"Okay, I'll go over now. Shen Nong stretched his feet out of the lake, stood up, and walked directly along the lakeside towards the man.
Chi Shen was afraid that Shen Nong would be in any danger, so he hurriedly followed, and the two of them walked around a distance of about two hundred steps, and finally walked in front of the man.
"This handsome ...... Ahem, what's your name. Shen Nong looked at the simple-looking primitive man in front of him and asked.
"If only you could call me Si. ”
"Well, then you can show me the medicinal materials you brought now, and if the quality of the medicinal materials can satisfy me, I will trade with you immediately." Shen Nong said.
"You, you show me your food first, and I'll trade with you if you have food. He patted the animal skin bag on his body and said.
I have to say that this guy's heart is really big, if Shen Nong's heart is more vicious and ruthless, this will completely allow Chi to kill Si directly, so that he can get all the medicinal materials on Si without any cost.
Fortunately, although Shen Nong has become a primitive person, the moral bottom line in his heart has not completely disappeared, and he will not kill a life for the sake of ordering medicinal materials.
I saw Shen Nong reach out and take out a few pieces of sun-dried dried meat from a animal skin bag hanging from his waist, and then shook it in front of his eyes.
"How's that? It's food, see. ”
"Goo!" The moment he saw the jerky, he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva, and he couldn't bear to take out four medicinal herbs from his animal skin bag and handed them to Shen Nong.
"You, you pick, a piece of jerky for a herb. ”
"Are you kidding? I'm just jerky! You took a piece of herb and wanted to exchange it for a piece of jerky with me, didn't you wake up?" Shen Nong couldn't help but tilt his head and said in surprise.
In his opinion, this is completely a lion's mouth.
"These medicinal materials of mine are all good things, only dug up around my tribe, and the witches of other tribes are rushing to trade with our tribe, but the chiefs have not agreed, our tribe has always only traded these medicinal materials with the Tushan tribe, and others have not yet traded them. He clasped his nostrils and said, "Then, do you want to trade? If you don't trade, I'll leave." ”
When Shen Nong heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to Chi in disbelief and asked softly, "Is what he said true or false? Are these four medicinal herbs really that rare?"
Chi carefully looked at the medicinal herbs in his hand, and then his face suddenly became a little excited: "Wu, this is the foxglove worm beard!"
"Rehmannia Worm Whisker?!" Shen Nong's face immediately became serious: "Are you sure?"
"Hmm!" nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, then I'll change it with you, four pieces of jerky, right? Shen Nong decisively took out four pieces of jerky and handed them to Si, while his other hand reached out to the four foxglove whiskers in Si's hand.
At this moment, Si suddenly withdrew his hand, looked at Shen Nong with some hesitation, and immediately blurted out after a few turns with a very cunning look: "No! Now you have to take four pieces of dried meat to exchange a medicinal herb with me!"
"What are you talking about?" Hearing this, Shen Nong immediately couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, how come he has come to the primitive era, and he can still meet people who play on the ground and start the price?
