Chapter 49: Bringing It to the Pit (Part II)
After a burst of gongs, the market, which brought together more than a dozen tribes, finally opened.
Each tribe is doing its best to sell their own essence, but the most seen in the stalls are still some animal skins and stone tools, only a few stalls of the Gu tribe are placed with things that have never been seen in this era.
Hei Tao stood in front of one of the stalls, which was already full of people, and there were at least ten or more tribesmen pointing at the goods for sale.
It was a wheelbarrow.
When the black pottery first entered the city, he saw the power of this thing, a person can rely on such a tool, transport seven or eight people can move the goods, although the volume is not as good as the birch bark boat, but it can go anywhere except in the water!
He just wanted to go up and ask the price, but saw the man sitting in front of the stall pick up a pottery shard from his side, the pottery shard was engraved with several strange symbols, a vertical line, and the shape of two eggs, he couldn't understand the specific meaning, but he heard the people around him breathing in and swearing.
"This wheelbarrow actually costs a hundred pottery coins!"
"The bronze next door costs less pottery!"
"I'll see, I'll see!"
A group of people all flocked to the stall next door.
Compared to bronze utensils that only cost a dozen pottery coins a piece, this wheelbarrow is more like a display item, or rather, a special hook for someone.
Hei Tao broke his fingers on the spot, calculated the amount of pottery money his tribe had, and found that after adding the fake pottery money, it was just enough to buy a wheelbarrow.
Glancing at the crowded people rushing to buy bronze tools in the stall next door, he hurriedly ran back to report the news.
And all this did not escape Gu Guo's eyes, he called the pigskin on the side, and after whispering a few times, the pigskin nodded in understanding, pretending to be the person who bought the goods, and mixed into the crowd.
At this time, Hei Tao had reported the news of the wheelbarrow to Yangya, and a group of people gathered in front of the stall to discuss in a low voice.
"I would have brought out all the pottery money if I knew it, so that I could buy a few more bronze tools." Hei Tao is counting the fake pottery coins one by one and sighing.
"It's too late to say anything now, Hei Tao, you and the people look at the animal skins and clay pots on this stall, and I'll go buy that wheelbarrow." Yang Ya said in a low voice, and after speaking, he glanced up at the crowd and found that they were all attracted to the stall of the Gu Guo tribe.
"With the real pottery money, it's a total of one hundred and twelve." Hei Tao counted for a full ten minutes, and finally counted the pottery money in the pockets of the two animal skins.
"Okay, you wait for me here."
Grabbing two bags of pottery money and carrying them on his shoulders, the sheep tooth came to buy a wheelbarrow.
The owner of the wheelbarrow is a licorice clansman, and the pigskin has long been angry with him, and at this time, the owner came to the door, and he hurriedly greeted him with a smile and introduced the various functions of the wheelbarrow.
Yangya had seen a wheelbarrow, and without waiting for the stall owner to explain, she set up a row of stalls to pay for it.
The first thing she took out was glazed real pottery money, and the other tribesmen in the stall next door were yelled at by the pigskin, "Someone has bought a wheelbarrow!" After that, they all looked at the sheep's teeth curiously, carefully identifying which tribe had so much pottery money.
"What tribe is this woman from? Why does she have so much pottery money? Pigskin was the first to speak, and then retreated behind everyone with an expression of watching the play.
"Yes, have you seen it, I've been here several times since the snow melted, and I haven't seen this woman!"
"I remember that there was a man named Tang in the tribe who was able to get so much money last time, and he exchanged it for a birch bark boat with Gugu!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true! The two groups of people almost fought for this! ”
In the crowd, you and I discussed in a low voice, although the voice was small, but the sheep teeth standing in front could hear it clearly.
She felt like she had been pitted like soup, but she couldn't figure out what was wrong.
In terms of value alone, the role of a wheelbarrow can indeed hold hundreds of clay pots, and using it to transport clay can meet the consumption of the tribesmen for a day's pottery making, and it is a huge workload to carry clay and clay from the river in the past.
She stacked the glazed pottery coins one by one, until when she took out the thirtieth pottery coin, everyone's faces changed.
"Why does she still have last year's pottery money?"
"Didn't Goo say that all the pottery money distributed to the tribes last year had been destroyed?"
"I saw it! All the money spent was smashed to pieces, and it couldn't be fought back. ”
"Could it be that she doesn't know that we changed the glazed pottery money?"
"Impossible, Goo said he sent out a total of one hundred and twenty, and he counted them in front of us when he fell, and the number is correct."
"Fake pottery money!" I don't know who shouted at the back of the crowd, but everyone didn't react for a while.
"Is there any fake pottery money?"
"Gugu said, he won't accept last year's pottery money in the future, if this woman uses fake pottery money to exchange animal skins with you, you can't use fake pottery money to exchange bronze with Gugu's tribe!" Pigskin explained at the right time.
Everyone suddenly realized, and one by one they stared at the sheep's teeth with righteous indignation, as if they were looking at the enemy who killed their father.
And Gu Guo, who was sitting on the stool, saw that the time was ripe, wiped his greasy hands on the animal skin, and swung into the crowd as if he was wandering.
"You're from the Tang tribe, right?"
A young voice reached the ears of the sheep's teeth, and the hand that collected the pottery money paused in the midst of the people's verbal and scolding, and she saw a young man about as tall as she walked towards her.
At this time, the whispering of the crowd also stopped, and people spontaneously made way for the young people.
Sheep's pupils shrank, and she remembered that the person who had described Tang as a pit was a young man of twelve or thirteen!
I didn't expect to meet here, she knew that this matter couldn't be good.
Gu Guo stepped forward, grabbed the bag containing the pottery money and shook it vigorously, and with a "clang", all the pottery money in the bag fell to the stall.
"One, two, three, four......"
"This ...... So much fake pottery money! ”
"Goo, I can't let her go! If this pottery money reaches us, all the hard work of those days will be in vain! ”
When Hei Tao and the others saw the situation on Yangya's side, they were surrounded by more than 30 people before they could get up in time.
Looking at the bronze spears in the hands of the visitors, Hei Tao and the others squatted down playfully and shrank by the side of the stall like quails.
Gu Guo turned his head and glanced in the direction of Hua Hehu and the others, since he controlled more than ten people, the woman in front of him was not afraid.
"Pigskin, take this woman away! Fake pottery money is destroyed on the spot, and glazed pottery money is confiscated! ”
Under the vicious gaze of the sheep's teeth, Gu Guo smashed all the fake pottery money in public.
The onlookers applauded, and a few of them thought that Gu Guo had not broken enough, so they stepped forward and smashed the relatively complete pieces of pottery money with bronze tools.
