"What's the matter?"

Su Yu looked at his hurried appearance and wondered.

"There was a group of people who came down the river, claiming to be a caravan from the north that had gone south along the river."

"Take me to see it."

……

By the river, Su Dachuan asked people to transport the fish back. Opposite him was a group of people dressed in snow-white animal skins, each of whom carried a huge animal skin package.

Su Yu quickly rushed over and saw this special group of visitors at a glance.

Seeing the white fur on their bodies, Su Yu was curious about what kind of animal fur it was.

At this time, these people were staring at the fish that Su Dachuan caught, and they naturally knew that this was a fish, but they didn't expect that they could actually catch fish in winter, and they were very surprised when they saw the tools Su Dachuan used.

When they saw the fish caught in one net after another, their eyes were a little hot.

The leader wears a black and white hat with a red bird tail feather stuck in it.

"I am the patriarch of this tribe, which of you is the leader." Su Yu spoke bluntly and introduced himself.

"I'm Ji Ni from the Northern Yan Tribe, and this caravan is led by me. This time the purpose of going south was to trade with the tribes in the lower reaches of the Great River and exchange ideas. ”

"Is there any communication? So what did you bring with you to trade? Can you show me? ”

For the transaction, Su Yu naturally would not refuse. Still, he was wary. Su Xun and the clansmen of the hunting team were all staring at them from the sidelines, and they would definitely not give them a chance to kidnap and harm the patriarch.

"Absolutely, that's a basic requirement for trading." Ji Ni said with a smile. Then ask the person next to you to open the skin wrap and spread it out on the snow.

"Is your shell a commodity?" Su Yu was a little speechless when he saw a pile of shells lying on the animal skin, if this was a commodity, it would be useless to Su Yu.

"Hey, honorable patriarch, do you know this shell?" Ji Ni was surprised, he thought that these people from inland tribes shouldn't know about this thing, after all, this is only available by the sea.

"Naturally, I know it, I have been to the sea and seen such shells." Su Yu made up a reason to fool him.

"But these shells don't do anything, do they?"

"Well, you don't know. The shell alone is naturally useless, but it can be exchanged for goods from the Fang Kingdom in the Far East, and they all use this shell to trade. ”

"Fang Guo in the Far East?" The first time Su Yu heard of such a place, he had always thought that this world should be the power of this kind of tribe, but he didn't expect that there was actually Fang Guo.

The word Fang Guo can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it was a united city-state system. Since it is a country, it must be much stronger than the tribe.

"Yes, there are many powerful Fang countries in the Far East, they all trade with shells, and there are a lot of good things over there, like these furs on our bodies, they are all products there, but these need to be exchanged for shells."

"So, the purpose of this shell is obvious, and if you go there, you will also trade in it." Ji Ni said with a smile, his meaning was obvious, it was to sell this shell.

Generally speaking, the few tribes he met on the road had exchanged their specialties for this shell after hearing about the Fang Kingdom in the Far East.

"Is it far from my tribe?" Su Yu asked, he wanted to know that these Fang countries were not far from him, if these Fang countries were next to his tribe, whoever knew that there was such a powerful Fang country on his side of the couch, I am afraid they would not be stable.

"This ......" Ji Ni was stunned for a moment, speechless for a while. Since it was the Far East, it must be far away from here, so he would say that.

"Far away?" Su Yu was stunned when he saw him, and immediately knew the possible reason.

"Yes." Ji Ni didn't dare to hide it.

"If it's far away, then it's useless for me to ask for these shells?" Su Yu probably guessed what the reason for him to sell this shell was nothing more than knowing that Su Yu didn't know the purchasing power of the shell, and wanted to brag about how important the shell was, and then asked him to exchange a lot of things for some unequal shells.

The shell is the currency that is traded between those countries, and since it is a currency, it must have purchasing power. Su Yu didn't know the purchasing power of this shell, and now he didn't even know where this country was, so it was useless to get the shell.

"Shells are unnecessary, after all, we are far away from Fang Country, do you have any other goods? If all we have are shells, then we will have to give them away. ”

"Of course, there is." Ji Ni saw that Su Yu didn't have any idea about the shell, which was a pity. But that's nothing, there are also a few tribes on the road who are not interested in this country and shells.

Immediately, he asked the others to open the skins and traveled all the way, and they had a lot of goods, including the specialties of the other tribes they met along the way.

Seeing the other packages, Su Yu saw something very special, which was a round shape and some oval plant fruits.

"Potatoes!" After Su Yu saw the fruit of this plant, also known as potato, he was a little excited, which was much more excited than when he encountered rice before.

Because these two things are completely incomparable, in this place where it is long and cold in winter, compared to rice, potatoes are naturally more suitable for planting here, and there are no harsh requirements for the planting environment.

"Can this be changed?" Su Yu asked, if they didn't change, Su Yu could only rob it.

"It's a little hard, because it's food for our caravan." Ji Ni had a look of embarrassment on her face.

"I can exchange these freshly caught fish for these baskets of fish for your food." Su Yu pointed to the fresh fish next to him.

Ji Ni saw those fish, a little moved, but still thinking about something, "These fish are enough, but, although it is winter now, these fish can't be put for long, our trip is long, so ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Su Yu said directly, "We don't need all of them, just a few are enough." ”

"That's right, you can." When Ji Ni heard that only a part of it was needed, he immediately agreed.

It seems that they made it, but Su Yu didn't lose it at all. Su Yu got the potatoes, and he didn't care about these at all, isn't it just a few baskets of fish, there are them in the river.

Ji Ni was also very satisfied in his heart, these potatoes were exchanged from a tribe on their way, and it cost a few shells. Now with some potatoes in exchange for a few baskets of fish, it is completely profitable.

"Honorable Patriarch, do you have any other goods you want?" Ji Ni smiled, now Su Yu is the gold master.

Su Yu took a few more looks, and found that this caravan really had a lot of good things, Chinese cabbage, peanuts, and a little corn kernel cob.

"Are they all sold?" Su Yu pointed to the packages of Chinese cabbage, peanuts and corn cobs, wanting to take them all.

At this time, Su Yu really looked like a nouveau riche buying things, ordering one and asking for one.

"Of course, these are sold." Ji Ni's face was about to bloom with a smile.

After these transactions, Su Yu didn't have anything he wanted, and all the good things were bought by him.

Both sides of the trading ground were very pleasant, and Su Yu asked them to send them away.

Before they left, Su Yu whispered in Su Xun's ear, "You take a few people to follow them, be careful!" ”
