Chapter 41: The Great Expedition of the Icefields Tribe 1
On the afternoon of the fifteenth day, You Wei sent people to the tribe in advance to report it, while Yu Hai and the others moved slowly according to the original plan, and it was expected that they would arrive at the Ice Plains tribe in the evening.
As the saying goes: Stand tall, look far. Yu Hai sat on Mengmeng's back, and saw the smoke rising from a distance, and he could already see the outline of the tribe.
"Do you see the mountain in the distance, our tribe is built on the foot of that mountain. You Wei said. As an iceborn, he only had to see the scenery around him to know how far it was from the tribe and how long it would take to get there.
Coming to the gate of the tribe is like going back to the ancient tribe for the first time, there is novelty, but also there is a fear of the unknown.
The patriarch of the Icefield tribe led a group of people and the members of the You Bing team who came back in advance to wait at the door, welcoming the return of the wanderer.
Warmly welcomed by the Icefield Tribe, the group was brought into the tribe.
Coming to the camp arranged for them by the Ice Plains tribe, Yu Hai slid down Meng Meng's nose, a trick he also learned from two animal tamers.
Their camp was arranged on the left side of the tribe, where there was a wide field for the mammoths to rest.
A few small cabins were built next to it, and the gaps on the exterior were filled with mud mixed with weeds to prevent the biting cold wind from entering the house through the cracks.
The roof of the wooden house is covered with a thick layer of snow, and it looks like a house in a snow country, covered with snow.
There were five cabins, two each for Uka and Kent teams, and Yu Hai lived with two animal trainers.
When I walked into the house, it was much warmer. The walls were covered with animal skins, all of which did not leave a single gap, and even the roof was hung in a circle. It was as if entering not a wooden house, but a fur tent bag.
Reaching out and touching the animal skins hanging on the wall, they were a little cold, but they played a good role in keeping warm, insulating from the invasion of cold air and keeping the inside warm.
In the middle of the house, a fire was made of stones of the same size, and someone had lit it for them as early as they entered.
Now the pot they brought with them was on the fire, and it contained the snow from outside, which was slowly melting. There were a few potatoes and sweet potatoes and other rhizomes in the fire, and it was their dinner tonight.
Early the next morning, the Uka team went to trade with the Icefields tribe with the goods they had brought all the way from the ancient tribe.
By the time the sea rushed over, they were almost out of trade, and the original mountains of grain had been replaced with streamlined medicinal herbs and the like.
After looking at it, there are not many types, such as snow ginseng, snow lotus, cordyceps, saffron and snow mountain membranaceus.
The amount is not much, and the two bamboo baskets are filled.
Fortunately, the place of trading was near their camp, and Yu Hai moved it twice, so he moved all the goods he could get over.
You Wei had already seen Yu Hai moving things, and he also knew that Yu Hai had brought some things to trade, including those magical tools that he had seen in the ancient tribe.
You Wei hurriedly introduced the patriarch of the family: "Patriarch, that person's name is Yu Hai, and he also came with the ancient tribe, he is a guest of the ancient tribe, and it is said that he came from a distant place. ”
"The ancient tribe can receive so much grain this year, thanks to his share of the agricultural tools he gave to the ancient tribe. ”
"He doesn't just have these, there are many other things, such as a very sharp knife, do you see the knife on the back of those people in the ancient tribe, that is from Yu Hai, it is much sharper than the bone knife, and the clothes they wear, the shoes they wear, and there are too many, I can't finish talking for a while, they are all from Yu Hai. ”
"Let's go up and swap with him. ”
You Zhi crackled like pouring beans, and told the patriarch everything he knew, saw, and heard.
The patriarch watched the others count the supplies while listening to the affairs of the ancient tribe and Yu Hai. I secretly decided in my heart that if Yu Hai was really as magical as You Wei said, his tribe would have a good relationship with him.
The patriarch saw Yu Hai going back and forth over there several times, moving a lot of big bags out, and when he finally finished moving, he walked over to say hello.
"Hello, I'm the patriarch of the Icefields tribe, and my name is Tuolei. ”
Yu Hai also noticed that this person had some of the same temperament as the patriarch of the ancient tribe, and complained in his heart: Sure enough, it is the patriarch, is this the temperament of the legendary superior?
Nodding at the patriarch: "Hello, I'm Yu Hai, from the outside world, and I was invited by You Wei to come and have a look." ”
The patriarch didn't know where the outside world was, but it was a very distant place that he hadn't heard of. "Just now You Jian told me a lot of things about you, I am also very curious about you as a person, helping the development of the ancient tribe with the power of one person, I would like to know how you did it, and if you can also trade with our Ice Plains tribe. The patriarch said straight to the point.
"Good. Before Yu Hai finished speaking, he was interrupted by the patriarch.
"I saw you were just moving something, are you planning to trade with our tribe with those?"
Yu Hai didn't care about being interrupted by the patriarch just now, only thinking that this patriarch was really an impatient, so he sped up his speech: "That's right, these are all brought by me from the outside world, and this time I came to the Ice Plains Tribe, I also wanted to exchange for some different commodities to go back." ”
As he spoke, he opened the zipper of the bag one by one, took out the contents and showed them to the patriarch.
"These are salt and cumin, and the grilled ones are sprinkled with some and they taste very good. ”
The patriarch knew about salt, nodded his head, and seeing these snow-white and translucent salts without any other impurities, the patriarch only felt that the quality was different from place to place.
Seeing another seasoning, the patriarch grabbed a small handful with his hand and tried it, the taste was a little special, it seemed to be not bad. However, these are just seasonings, and the patriarch is more concerned about the food problem, and he can't eat enough, so he doesn't care if it's good or not.
Yu Hai saw the patriarch's thoughts, and then took out something from the bag. This time, two bags of rice were brought out, one was husked rice and the other was unhulled paddy.
The patriarch was introduced to these two bags of grain respectively, and the yield was also mentioned. Finally, he said to the patriarch: "You can take it back and taste it first, cook it according to the method I said, and then decide after eating, if it is okay, I will bring it in large quantities next time, and I will give these to you." Yu Hai said generously.
Then he took out several kinds of grains, wheat, corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, all of them, but the quantity was not much, that is, 5 catties of each, it was really like what Yu Hai said, taste the taste.
After the food was introduced, two sets of farming tools were taken out, and the handles were just loaded, and the materials were collected on the road.
Demonstrate it yourself on the snow and hand it to the patriarch.
Similarly, there are two mountain axes and two mountain opening knives, all of which are demonstrated by the sea himself, and then handed over to the patriarch for him to study and try the feel.
All the things, Yu Hai didn't take the initiative to mention what needs to be exchanged, only said that there are not many things to bring this time, look at it, I will leave with the ancient tribe, just prepare it before leaving.
But the next transaction of goods needs to negotiate the price first, according to the negotiation. But not everyone can enjoy the same treatment as the ancient tribes, and the transaction is given according to the mood.
Wuka and they were also watching from a distance, knowing that Yu Hai had never mentioned specific trading conditions with their tribe, as long as they needed it, Yu Hai would try his best to bring it over, and he remembered Yu Hai's goodness in his heart, so he took the initiative to take him to the hot springs and take him to the cave.
