Section 26 Transactions

"And what is the price of these beast cubs?" said Mon Ear, who had already made up his mind to buy a few back.

"Oh, you really have an eye for it, and you can see the benefits of buying cubs at once. If you think about it, as long as you buy back these cubs, when they grow up, you can help the tribe hunt, defend and warn. And you can also sell the cubs they give birth to to other people, for the same price, you can quickly pay for it, and you can also make a lot of money. When the stall owner saw that this business might be done, he explained the benefits even more diligently, "Besides, when you are hunting, don't you take a few wild beasts to help, doesn't it seem more imposing." For each cub, you only need to pay a hundred hides to bring back to the tribe, and buying a few more can also give you a discount. ”

"Okay, let's buy six first. How many hides do you need?" "Okay, since you buy six in one go, then I will decide that each cub will have five fewer hides, and a total of five hundred and seventy hides." The stall owner also replied happily.

The single ear was also very simply set directly, and there was no further bargaining, the wealth of the fire tribe no longer cared about the difference in the price of those few animal skins, what was lacking was the introduction and development of new things.

One ear turned his head to the level of the water tribe and said, "Brother level, I'm going to trouble you this time." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, since you have decided to buy it, then I will take care of everything later, and I guarantee that in the evening, these cubs will come to your cave. He first told them one ear, then turned around and showed the stall owner the totemic animal skin in his arms, and then gave the stall owner five beautiful, carefully polished scallop shells, and seven snail shells. "Take them, and then go to the water tribe station on the west side of the bazaar, and exchange them for the skins of this trade. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking care of our tribe's business. As he spoke, the stall owner kept raising his eyebrows at the clansmen next to him, as if to say, look, it's right for me to insist on continuing to bring them this time, the income of nearly six hundred hides is already about the same as last year's trading volume.

In winter, the tribes that live in this area generally do not lack food, but it is also colder here than on the side of the mountains where the ears live, and groups of small carnivores will actively attack the tribe, and in the winter many small and medium-sized herbivorous beasts will migrate, causing them to lack food.

Therefore, in winter, the tribes here fight more frequently with wild beasts than in other periods, and the salt used to maintain physical strength and the animal skins that can keep out the cold and allow hunters to fight, they have become strategic materials for winter, which are very valuable.

Therefore, salt and hides are used as common settlement currencies in the market, but when the number of hides is large, on-site transactions will also be inconvenient, so substitutes or vouchers representing the number of hides have appeared.

Each tribe has a different substitute or voucher, and is only used briefly when traded in the market, and is recycled and exchanged for hides at the end of the day.

The shells and snail shells taken out horizontally are unique to the Water Tribe as a proof of the number of hides. And there is no need to be afraid of the size of the number of hides, because they have formed a standard weights and measures, and the number of hides mentioned here is the number of skins of the specified standard size.

After completing the transaction, they continued to browse the other stalls......

At night, a blazing bonfire had been lit at the foot of the mountain, sealing off the entire entrance, and there were guards on duty beside them, whose sharp eyes were closely watching the situation outside by the light of the fire, and the sharp stone spears were tightly held in their hands.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can also see the mountainside, and there are piles of bonfires everywhere shooting warm light from the caves, densely packed like stars in the night sky, beautiful and beautiful.

They were not interested in admiring it, but were teasing the beast cub they had just bought today with their animal meat. After today's gathering, the level moved all the things they traded to the cave where they lived, and the cubs they bought were also sent at that time.

I saw that one ear tore off a small piece of animal meat from the roasted large piece of animal meat and handed it to the cub's side, but the round and fluffy cub was indeed very arrogant, and continued to lie there motionless, and never moved the nest since it was brought here.

The fragrant flesh of the beast seemed to be all garbage in front of them, mud and stones, and they did not feel the slightest interest at all.

"The stall owner said that these cubs are omnivores, and they are easy to feed. Not only can they eat meat, but they can also eat the same when the plant tubers are cooked, how can it be different from what he said now? The cubs' behavior made everyone wonder if the stall owner was fooling him in order to sell the cubs.

Aren't they hungry, but when they brought them they said they hadn't fed them, they reminded me to roast more animal meat. Maybe the stall owner who sold it has already fed it.

Thinking of this, he put the fragrant beast meat in his hand into his mouth, and when he bit it gently, the delicious meat juice gushed out, and the air was filled with a taste called help me up, and I can eat a little more.

Goo~

The sound was so small that it was drowned out by the sound of munching on the flesh, but the keen single ear could hear it clearly, coming from the corner where the cub was staying.

The single ear who stopped his movements and carefully observed the group of cubs, suddenly the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tilt slightly, and a smile appeared on his handsome face full of muscles.

At the corners of the cub's mouth, there was a trace of crystal clear, shining in the firelight. And the dark eyes looked straight at the beast meat on one-eared hands, constantly rotating with the swing of his hand, haha, so interesting.

Maybe he found fun, and he chewed the beast meat in his hand slowly, and he also found an upwind outlet to do it. The tantalizing smell drifted straight to them, causing the cubs' noses to sniff hard, and the sparkle grew larger and began to fall downward, drawing into a thin line of sparkling in the air.

Seeing that the situation was about the same, Mon Ear once again tore the beast's flesh into small strips and put it next to the mouth of a cub, this time it was not as indifferent as just now, but swallowed it fiercely, and then opened its mouth slightly.

What's the situation?!

Forget it, seeing that these cubs are so spiritual, it is better to take care of their face, and put the meat strip in its mouth with one ear, and it swallows it in one bite, and then opens it slightly. No, Mon Ear tore off the strips of meat again to feed, this is really a meal to open his mouth.

Now these are still cubs, and after feeding them a few times, they are full and do not open their mouths. But looking at the side of the one-ear portrait, five slightly open mouths, expectant and longing eyes, the one-eared heart softened, and began to feed one by one.

Night had covered the land, and in one of the thousands of caves, a burly man was carefully tearing large pieces of roast meat into small strips and feeding them into the slightly open mouths of a group of fluffy beast cubs......

Everything is so weird, but it all seems so harmonious.
