Chapter 249: To each his own home
"Let's go!"
Since there was plenty of time yesterday, and the valley was not very far from the ship, most of the things had already been exchanged yesterday afternoon.
The salt that several tribes had been thinking about was also handed over to them, except for the Niu tribe, the others were exchanged for food, but some of the food was transferred by Song Xuan and sent to the canoes of the Niu tribe.
This is also a helpless thing, who called the things of the Niu tribe more valuable, even if it was two times the salt was not enough to offset the account, fortunately, this time I asked for a thousand pottery projectiles, and the rest of the need to Teng Snake is not very much.
Last night, I learned that the Niu tribe and the Zhen tribe have added some projectiles, grass and wood tribes, although they have not really experienced the wonderful use of the sling, but they are not far behind, and they also want to replace some, one is two hundred, one is three hundred, although it is not much, but it is better than nothing, at least it can also share the cost evenly.
For the people of the two tribes, it is not considered to be a fun, at least the power of the sling, they have seen it, but they have not experienced it in the hunt, I believe that after using it, if there is no new weapon, it should be reluctant to throw it away.
Although it is not a lot of exchange, it can still be used for a lot of time if it is saved and recycled properly.
This is already the middle and upper reaches of the creek, the width is just enough to accommodate the canoe to pass, but if there are people inside, it is not conducive to moving forward, so each boat is only left to control the direction of one person, the people on the shore pull the rope to assist, because it is downstream, although the flow speed of the stream is not fast, but it can also save a lot of effort, other people are walking on both sides, anyway, there is no hurry, so it is chatting while walking, the atmosphere is still very good.
"Divine messenger, then we'll go back!"
"Okay, when we return to the tribe, I'll let Shi Mao send it to you!"
In addition to the fact that the tribe brought enough supplies this time, and the cattle tribe directly exchanged the cattle, several other tribes had to go back and prepare again, especially the Teng snake, which added up to two thousand projectiles, although there were so many in the tribe, but after taking it out, there was not much to use.
However, although the exchange was paid in advance, the tribe was not worried that the Teng Snake would regret it, after all, in terms of integrity, there was no problem with several tribes around, and once the two sides reached a verbal agreement, this exchange would not be reversed, unless there was a particularly urgent situation, otherwise it would definitely be spurned by others, and it would be more troublesome to join in later.
In addition, Teng Snake's strength is also here, and he will definitely not be greedy for their three melons and two dates.
Originally, the cattle tribe also provided door-to-door delivery services, but Teng Snake sent so many boats this time, and then let them deliver, it seemed a bit too wasteful of manpower, so when he left the valley, the rope tied to the cattle was handed over to Teng Snake.
The only requirement of the cattle tribe for these animals is to provide a stable source of food in the future, and the packers and pullers are not trained, otherwise they can help pull the boat away now.
But even so, these well-behaved animals are still rare treasures, and after being brought back to the tribe, with a little training, they can come in handy.
The next task is to rush back to the tribe, although the delay is not long, but there is half a month before and after, and the income from this exchange can be regarded as a small supplement to the already small amount of food.
And there will be very important tasks in the next period of time, and the most important thing is naturally to cultivate, and it must be completely prepared before rice planting.
There is also the fact that after Song Quan goes back, he has to send a group of people to refine salt, and when he comes, Song Xuan has almost scavenged the inventory in the tribe, originally thinking that it must not be used up, and in the end it should be able to take it back for another half a month.
After returning to the tribe, the most anxious thing is this matter, and if it is delayed, there will be no salt to eat in the tribe, although it will not really affect the body if you don't eat it in a short time, but everyone has been used to the food of salt and ba, and suddenly it is broken, it is really difficult to enter the cold, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift.
However, this is also a matter of twenty or thirty people going to the valley where Yanba is located, but it won't take too much time, after Song Xuan brings back the people who came out this time, he will be able to free up the corresponding manpower.
As for the projectiles needed by several tribes, just hand them over to Shi Mao and take two or three people to run for a trip, it is not expensive to finish the fight, and the Niu tribe and the Zhen tribe have already handed over the materials to Teng Snake, and the rest of the things should be able to be transported back as long as a boat.
At present, I also decided to go back and turn into stones with people, burn a little more, the projectile is very fast, three people can make a lot of it in two or three days, and when the time comes, you can directly let the stone trade take it down, find a place to store it, and save it from running around frequently in the future.
Anyway, it was burned out of clay, even if it was placed directly in the wild, he didn't worry that it would break, and even the pottery that was not replaced this time, Song Xuan threw it directly into the dug cave, so that he could bring less next time.
Now that this has been started, Song Xuan believes that every exchange in the future should involve this aspect, and Teng Snake finally opened up a new consumable in addition to the decreasing pottery, which can be regarded as not idle in the kiln in the tribe.
Now each tribe does not need much pottery at a time, mainly to supplement the damage in daily use, and they are not as wealthy as Teng Snake, and they are naturally careful to use it in ordinary times, so there are really not many bad ones in a year, and the new demand every year is quite small, if there is no projectile, the kiln can only serve its own tribe.
Although the kilns in the tribe occupy some manpower and time, they have always been profitable on the whole, even if the stones are basically not involved in the daily hunting, but they still exchange a lot of food with the pottery burned by the kiln, and even earn much more than a person who goes out hunting.
However, even if it can't be exchanged, the importance of the kiln to the tribe is also self-evident, after all, it is related to the most important food, and the stone now has the task of creating bronze weapons, and it will only become more and more important in the future.
This time, Song Xuan also discussed with Niu He, and when Shi Mao took someone to send Tao Pills, Teng Snake would send another person to live in the Niu tribe for a few days, the purpose was naturally to learn from them about the feeding of livestock, although the two communicated a lot, but how to follow and feed in person, in order to understand more thoroughly.
Niu He was very generous about this, and agreed directly, and did not mention remuneration or anything, but Song Xuan still felt that despite this, Teng Snake couldn't let them suffer, so he would definitely give them more projectiles at that time, and at the same time, the consumption of the people sent over in the past few days would definitely have to take care of themselves.
Since there is only one boat, after sending the projectiles to the Niu tribe, it will definitely take a lot of time to go to the grass tribe and the wood tribe, to say the least, it will take four or five days, this period of time should be enough for learning, if the cattle tribe does not hide their secrets.
I believe that there is nothing to hide, after all, the feeding of Teng Snake is already on the right track, and it is just to absorb their advantages.
Shi Yan and Shui Wu are both older, and the number of livestock in the tribe was relatively small before, and the two of them could still cope with it, but now they are indeed becoming more and more powerless.
In terms of raising livestock, the two are also looking for a few suitable successors, and this time letting one person come over to learn can be regarded as really cultivating him.
For most of the warriors in the tribe, it is very torturous to let them raise livestock, although the work is relatively not so heavy, but it requires enough patience, and the work is relatively fixed, they have to be pulled out and moved back every day, and they have to help dispose of large pieces of manure, and it is definitely not appropriate to let these rough men in the tribe do this kind of work.
Occasionally, they may also find it very interesting, as long as the time is long, most people will lose patience, so the selection is also carefully selected a few people, because this time only one person can be sent over, so it is estimated that after going back, it is estimated that you have to struggle again.
After struggling for a long time when he first chose someone, Song Xuan could imagine what kind of expressions they would have when he went back to tell the two of them about it.
When I came, it was very easy, I went straight down the river, the speed was fast, and I didn't need to row, and everyone was even a little bored on the boat, and even rushed to do the work of controlling the direction.
But it's different to go back, going upstream, you can only honestly pull the boat, although there are a lot of supplies, but this time there are so many boats, each boat is divided into some, and there is not much difference from the empty load, it is relatively easy to pull up.
On the contrary, this group of livestock, stop and go, from time to time to eat a while of grass, delayed some time, but no one will complain, after all, compared with everyone, this group of livestock is more precious, anyway, they have to rest, although it will be more frequent, but they can only comfort themselves in this way.
However, because there are not many goods, most of the people are relaxed, so the speed is not slow, and this route is quite mature, except for some weeds, there is nothing in the way, and just after winter, all the grass is lying on the ground, which does not affect the pace of progress.
Just when the people of several tribes were rushing back, the grass tribe came with a group of guests who surprised them very much:
"Bear...... Bearberry ...... You...... You ......"
"Ah!!h
A shrill shout pierced the sky.
