Chapter 166 - A Weapon for Making Money
Hearing Guanghou say that he had an impression of the "Yanjiao Tribe", Shao Xuan was still happy in his heart, but he didn't want to the next moment, Guanghou said again: "I remember, your totem is a fish, right?"
Shao Xuan was silent for a few seconds, and then handed over the stone tablet given by Wu, "This is the totem of our tribe. I'm here with the kindness of the Flamehorn tribe, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Oh?" Guanghou didn't care, took the stone tablet with totem patterns handed over by Shao Xuan and looked at it, and found that he was really not impressed, so he handed the stone tablet back, smiled so much that his chin was folded into several layers, and said to Shao Xuan: "I still believe in the guests of the Yu tribe." ”
Shao Xuan mentioned the purpose of coming to Guanghou and talked about the chatter left on the border of the Pu tribe, but unfortunately, although Guanghou seemed to be better at talking than the leader of the Pu tribe, he refused as soon as he spoke.
"The bird you just mentioned, I don't want it to enter this territory, there were very few large birds here in the past, and we don't have a good impression of birds. ”
Many aquatic animals don't like birds from the sky, this Shao Xuan knows, he can also see that Guanghou doesn't care about himself, he just says a few more words just because of Qingyi's face, otherwise he doesn't bother to look at Shao Xuan, during the time he was talking to Shao Xuan, Guanghou has already looked at the food next to him several times.
After talking, Shao Xuan said goodbye and left, he told Chirp before entering the Pu tribe that if he could hear the whistle of permission, he would come over, and if he heard the whistle of refusal, it could move freely outside.
Perhaps, Chirp himself is still happy to play outside, but it is more restrictive when he enters the tribe.
Leaving Guanghou's house, Qingyi said apologetically: "Didn't help." ”
"It's okay, it's more comfortable for Chirp to stay outside, and I'll call it when I'm out." As for Guanghou's attitude, Shao Xuan didn't bother much. He didn't think about what he had to get from the Pu tribe, he came here to see more groups other than the Yanjiao tribe.
However, why haven't the Shan tribe and the Pu tribe heard the name "Yanjiao Tribe"?
According to the records and words left by the ancestors, it can be seen that the ancestors were still very arrogant, and they were also very proud of the former Yanjiao tribe, indicating that the Yanjiao tribe was not a small border group back then. And brilliantly.
Perhaps, it's because too much time has passed, and everything has changed?
After leaving Guanghou, Shao Xuan separated from Qingyi, who was going to "purchase", and the leader and Wu made a list of some items that needed to be purchased for him.
Shao Xuan, on the other hand, took this opportunity to take a good look at the tribe and see if he could find what he wanted to buy.
Originally, Shao Xuan thought that the trade between the Pu tribe and the Yu tribe would be like a bazaar. But now, it seems, this is not the case. There is no uniform place to put it in one place. The people of the Pu tribe only put things that need to be sold outside the house, so if they see items placed outside the house, they are used for trading, and if they like it, they will buy it.
Here, there is no unified currency, and an equivalent exchange is used.
But. It's not really an equivalent exchange, either.
Shao Xuan didn't go far when he saw several people from the Yu tribe buying. There was no bargaining, and looking at the people of the Pu tribe whose eyes were smiling, it was obvious that they had gained a very big benefit from trading with the Pu tribe.
No wonder the people of the Pu tribe are looking forward to the arrival of the trading team of the Pu tribe, no wonder they are so enthusiastic.
The people of the Sar tribe look very vicious. But in fact, they don't have too many other thoughts, and in the eyes of the Pu tribesmen, to put it bluntly, the people of the Pu tribe. It's just that people are stupid and have a lot of "money".
Before coming, Shao Xuan had heard Fu Xiang complain, why were the people of the Pu tribe not treated well outside, and why were the people of the Pu tribe more popular with other tribes than them?
On the one hand, many people in the Yu tribe are short-tempered, and on the other hand, because they are not very clever and can't speak, and those people from the Pu tribe will come to trouble.
Of course, this is also related to the face, every time the people of the Cha tribe go out, they will be regarded as ill-intentioned people, because they look too fierce, especially when looking at people, like a cold knife scraping one after another. And the people of the Pu tribe are much more cordial, look at the smile, how enthusiastic.
As he walked, Shao Xuan paid attention to the surrounding houses with various items.
Pottery, stone cores, and all kinds of strange things from other tribes, and the painted pottery of the old people of the tribe as treasures can also be seen here, but the price is very high. To Shao Xuan's surprise, he also saw a piece of linen.
"I got this from the middle of the country, and I've heard that people in the middle of the country love to use this to make clothes. The man said triumphantly. He wore a short skirt surrounded by linen, and he had shown off in the tribe, although many people did not like such things, but as soon as they heard that they had been brought from the middle, their attitude immediately changed.
Therefore, when this person was talking just now, he didn't use too many words to embellish it, but only emphasized the sentence "from the middle", just waiting for Shao Xuan to show a look of amazement, and then exchanged a lot of water moon stones for it.
It's a pity that he was going to be disappointed, Shao Xuan just calmly asked, and then asked some things about the "middle", and then gave a small piece of Water Moon Stone as a reward, and left.
After Shao Xuan left, the man looked at the little water moon stone in his hand, although this piece was already considered a big profit for him, but he was still unwilling, why didn't he leave anyone?
It was something he had managed to get from the middle of the city, and the kid wasn't even amazed, maybe he hadn't seen it, or did he know that he didn't have the money to buy something so valuable?
Shao Xuan didn't know that in the eyes of the "shopkeeper" just now, he had become an uninformed poor ghost bun.
In Shao Xuan's opinion, the piece of linen just now was very rough, and it would not be more comfortable to wear than animal skin, so it was stupid to buy such a rough rag with a large piece of water moon stone, right?
Not long after, that piece of linen cloth was bought by Fu Xiang, one of the "local tyrants" in the tribe this year. Shao Xuan didn't speak for a long time after seeing it, and sure enough, the values were still different.
Perhaps, the word "central" is already the biggest golden signboard, looking at Fu Xiang's happy face, and then looking at the envy of other people in the tribe, Shao Xuan feels that he still hasn't fully adapted to the rhythm here.
What kind of place is the "central part"? Will it be more developed than this one? Did the Yanjiao tribe ever use to be in the central part of the country?
I heard that the faience came from that side because it was fragile during transportation. Therefore, the painted pottery transported here is very expensive, and among the tribes that often come to the Pu tribe to participate in the trade, the people of the Pu tribe buy the most.
Touched the water moon stone inside the animal skin bag, this is really a good thing, comparable to gold. It's been a long time in the Yanjiao tribe. Just forget about the benefits of "money".
The people of the Yu tribe don't know much about the "central part", they only know that the things from the "central part" are very good, so every time they come over, whenever they hear that something is from the "central part", they immediately take out the animal skin bag and buy it, and the price is not to be returned.
In addition to these, the Pu tribe also has many of their native specialties, such as frogs.
Of course, that's not to say they're going to sell the frogs. For the Pu tribesmen who use frogs as totems. They don't kill the frogs here, they sell what they take from the frogs, such as poisons, medicines, and other special things.
Shao Xuan came to an oval-shaped house, which was a bit out of the way, and there weren't many people from the Yu tribe who came here to trade.
An old man sat cross-legged on the ground in the doorway. In front of him, there were no pottery, stone utensils, etc. There were also no things from other tribes, but several frogs with different appearances, sizes, colors, and patterns.
There was a large basin of water next to it, and after a while the old man reached out to get water from the basin and sprinkled it on several frogs in front of him.
When Shao Xuan passed, the old man had just finished sprinkling water.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming, the old man's eyes lit up. "What do you want?"
"How many of these are?" Shao Xuan asked, pointing to the motionless frogs lying there in front of the old man.
"You're not from the Shan tribe, it's the first time you've come to our tribe, right?" The old man didn't feel lost because Shao Xuan wasn't from the Shan tribe, but smiled very happily, because once the people of the Shan tribe had bought something. Next time, the last location will be preferred. This is a bit biased, so the old man rarely meets people from the Shan tribe when trading, but is more interested in customers from other tribes.
"Yes, it's my first time in the Pu tribe. Shao Xuan said, staring at the frogs on the ground.
A few frogs, the small ones are only as small as the fingernails, and the big ones can't be dragged by a single palm.
The old man was very active in introducing the characteristics of these frogs to Shao Xuan, and what they could contribute.
"This one can be used to save people, dizziness, chest tightness, vomiting, weakness and so on, and this one, which can firmly glue two planks together. The old man croaked, and then waited with a thick leaf.
Shao Xuan looked at the frog with orange patterns, at this moment, its pupils were constricted, and because it was horizontal, it looked like it was squinting and brewing something.
After a few seconds, nothing happened.
Shao Xuan looked at the old man, and then at the frog on the ground, this frog is constipated?
Just as he was thinking about it, Shao Xuan saw that behind the orange-red frog, some translucent liquid was secreted, and as the liquid became more and more, the old man hurriedly scraped off the liquid with the thick leaves on his hand. The leaves do not hurt the frog, and the people of the Pu tribe often use this method to take them.
"Look. The old man took out two pieces of wood, and then smeared some of the liquid from the thick leaves, and the pieces of wood were closed, and after a while the two pieces of wood were firmly glued together.
This thing is just like the gums found by the Flamehorn tribe to stick things!
"How much is this?" asked Shao Xuan.
"How much do you want!" said the old man, his hands trembling with excitement.
"What are these others?" Shao Xuan asked the old man to continue. He was very interested in these.
The old man also explained to Shao Xuan one by one with high interest, all kinds of strange frog secretions, as well as a kind of frog, the oil secreted by the skin, which is more liked by people in some arid areas.
For the people of the Pu tribe, these frogs are simply a weapon for making money.
Because the old man had stock at home, Shao Xuan took the water moon stone out and selectively bought some according to the old man's offer.
"By the way, do you have frog poison for sale here?" asked Shao Xuan.
"Do you want to?" the old man looked around carefully, and then said to Shao Xuan: "Of course there is, you follow me." (To be continued......) R1292
