Chapter 102: The Deal Starts Again
I sighed all the way, and it took more than a day to finally arrive at the place where I traded before.
In the middle, everyone also rowed a boat to raise some speed, otherwise they really couldn't get here a day in advance, after all, it was the host, and the preparations that should have been made had to be done, at least the roads and the caves where the goods were stored had to be cleaned, which was also the rule over the years.
After the busy work, it was almost dark, so I camped on the spot, rested for the night, and waited for the other tribes to come over tomorrow.
Most of the tribes, the time is generally pinched very accurately, after all, it is not the first time to participate, and there are boats, the speed is relatively stable, if it is really too late, you can also be like a snake, row hard, the speed of the two is still quite fast.
However, for the tribes living downstream, it will be somewhat troublesome, after all, going upstream, even if the river is shallow now, will be a bit laborious.
Early the next morning, Song Xuan was woken up by the noise, and Shi Meng's big-faced plate also appeared in front of Song Xuan in a timely manner:
"Divine Messenger, a tribe is coming!"
"Okay, let Shui Yun and them pick up people first!"
Shi Meng still forgot his role, and now Shui Yun represents the Black Water Tribe, so Teng Snake only needs to play the role of a good guest.
After Song Xuan finished washing, he also specially told everyone to at least ensure that he would not show his flaws in front of other tribes.
After the tribe had salt, Song Xuan also became refined, at least the conditions for washing every day were much better than before.
In this era, most people don't care about their personal image, a mouthful of yellow teeth, a mouth full of filth, this is standard, but Song Xuan still can't accept it, after all, it is a habit that has been cultivated for many years.
After coming to Teng Snake, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, and other things must be gone, even so, Song Xuan would still break a branch every day and come back and poke it, sometimes staining it with some charcoal, which can be regarded as a deep cleaning.
Although the charcoal cleaning effect is good, it is indeed a little scary to use, not to mention the black water in the mouth when you use it, there is a peculiar smell, and the taste is also very poor.
But after having salt, it is much better, and sticking a little salt to a branch is similar to the ancients, except for a little salty in the mouth when brushing your teeth, nothing else.
Song Xuan also wanted to promote it among the tribe, but only in the day or two that he emphasized, everyone might implement it more thoroughly, and it was usually perfunctory with two mouthfuls of water.
After coming and going, Song Xuan didn't think about forcing everyone, as long as he wasn't too sloppy, and after a long time, he slowly accepted it.
However, for the children in the tribe, Song Xuan requires them to wash every day, and the children's behavior habits are still better cultivated.
Unlike these adult primitive people, who have never been so particular since they were children, it is indeed a little difficult for them to suddenly let them wash several times a day.
After coming, some greetings were inevitable, and this time the first one to arrive was the bear tribe, and Song Xuan was still very impressed by this big family.
"Leader of Bear Mountain, what good things did you bring this time!"
Xiong Shan is still as enthusiastic as ever, and it is a bear hug when he comes up.
"Hahaha, oracle, we've found a lot of seeds!"
Song Xuan was waiting for this, but he didn't expect Xiong Shan to get straight to the point.
This kind of transaction that has been agreed upon by the two parties a long time ago, there is no need to wait for the other tribes to come before carrying it out, Song Xuan looked at Xiong Shan a little anxiously and ordered the people of the Xiong tribe to open the few packages he was carrying.
Sure enough, each package contained a large number of seeds, and when the last hide was opened, there were many stones of various shapes and crafts inside.
Now, naturally, they can't rush to check one by one, they can only take a general glance, and most of them are still the rice seeds that they have shown them before.
Although there is no shortage of rice seeds in the tribe now, there is still a demand for quality and specificity of different seeds.
So according to the exchange ratio that had been discussed before, he took the bowl and measured it, as long as there were four bowls, Song Xuan asked Shi Yong to go over with a pottery bowl.
Song Xuan didn't have a pit on Bear Mountain here, unlike in history, when he had to take the tip when he was collecting grain, Song Xuan always took a small wooden stick and scraped all the parts that came out.
Looking at Song Xuan's movements, Xiong Shan was smiling, so that there must be a little more bowls that can be replaced, don't look at the last time the bear tribe was the tribe that changed the most, but it can't stand the number of people, even if dozens of bowls are brought back to the tribe, in the end, a small half of the people can use it, so the gap is still quite large.
After scooping all the seeds, there are exactly twenty bowls, which means that you can exchange five bowls, although the number is not much, but if you want to exchange it for meat, it is also a lot of quantity.
The remaining stones made Song Xuanyi a little difficult before, after all, it was also said at the time, as long as the things brought over would definitely have to be exchanged with them.
But this proportion Song Xuan is also a little uncertain, if it is by weight, then this bag of stones is heavier than the previous seeds, if it is by volume, Song Xuan is not too embarrassed to say, although the stones look a lot, but the blocks are relatively small, at most it is seven or eight bowls.
After thinking about it, Song Xuan still asked tentatively:
"Leader of Bear Mountain, look at this stone, how about four kinds of bowls!"
"Yes!"
Song Xuan thought that he would have to pull something up, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said it, Xiong Shan accepted it.
For Xiongshan them, this stone is easier to find than seeds, and when everyone usually hunts, they see something different, so they just pick it up, and basically don't need to spend time alone.
Even if it was carried all the way, it didn't take much effort, anyway, it was all put on the boat, and when he heard Song Xuan say that four kinds of stones could be exchanged for a bowl, Xiong Shan thought it was still very cost-effective.
Although he swept over at a glance, Song Xuan didn't see any particularly special stones, but he still used three bowls to replace these dozen kinds of stones, Xiong Shan saw that Song Xuan was talking and was talking about it, it was originally fourteen kinds of stones, but in the end, he only needed three bowls.
Seeing that all the things had been received by Song Xuan, Xiong Shan continued:
"Divine Messenger, this time we will change twelve more bowls!"
"Hmm...... Two more pots! ”
Song Xuan originally thought that Xiong Mountain would be as generous as the spring, but he didn't expect that it would indeed disappoint him, plus the seeds and stones in exchange, it was only twenty bowls in total, the bear tribe was like this, so the other tribes can be imagined.
However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and this is not a mosquito, so make less money, after all, winter is coming, and everyone can't spare too much food to come out.
The heavier things were placed in the cave or directly on the boat, and since the two sides had reached a verbal agreement here, they were not worried about going back.
After the transaction between the two sides was completed, the major tribes also rushed over one after another, and Song Xuan took all the seeds and stones they brought, and even the more special soil, and he didn't even have time to take a closer look.
However, even if it was just a cursory glance, Song Xuan still saw that there were several kinds of stones that might be some kind of ore or something, pure white and pure black were obviously not quite right, but the tribe brought over, the people were in front of him, and Song Xuan couldn't leave them to look at them carefully, so he could only put them in the bag behind him, and when he was done, he would see if it was the few things he imagined.
And if it's really what you want, if you're too excited all of a sudden, it's a little bad, sit on the ground and pay back the money, see the other party likes it very much, and it's not impossible to breach the contract, even if you get the stone, but the specific place still has to wait for the back to contact, and then it's not wonderful to be treated as a wronged boss.
Although there are more than a dozen tribes, the most popular are only those two or three, in addition to the Teng Snake, that is, the wolf tribe and the kite tribe, there are a little more people here.
One relies on selling salt, the other by selling food, the kite tribe has a large population, especially the male population, so there are naturally more things to hunt, and food is basically not lacking for them, so every trade meeting will bring some out to meet the needs of other tribes at the same time, but also in exchange for what they need.
Before the Teng Snake Tribe joined, the Kite Tribe had always been the center of the major tribes, and now even now, its status is very high, belonging to one of the best.
After all, only their tribe can come up with a lot of food, which is what the other tribes really lack the most.
Whether it is salt or pottery, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake, even if it is salt, if you don't eat people for a while, at least you can't die, and you can also replenish some through meat, but you have to look a little weaker.
But it's not the same if you don't eat, it's really going to starve to death, so although there are the most people on the Teng snake side, after everyone comes, no matter what, they will go to the kite tribe to take a walk, especially the smaller tribes, first change the food back, and then if there is any leftover, it will naturally be salt and pottery, and pottery is even the third priority.
The other tribes are basically only out and in, and tribes like the Zhen tribe have not enough food to eat, so they can only exchange all kinds of cherished things, but this time there is no impulse at the time of spring, most of them are still some animal skins and horns and other things.
Song Xuan looked at the group of the Kite Tribe, and felt a little shameless that they were similar to himself, and they all belonged to the great good people.
Although there is a gap between myself and them, I am still relatively conscientious, and the quality of the things given to them is not bad, although it cannot save lives, but it is still very effective in improving the quality of life.
After each tribe came, Song Xuan would ask Shi Yong to take one out of the glazed bowl and give it to their leader, which could be regarded as a small increase in favor.
