Chapter 257 Weird Customs (Please vote and subscribe)

"Hahahaha, as long as Chief Yili likes it, don't worry, as long as your tribe can afford what I want, I believe our transaction will be very pleasant." You Fu also responded with a smile.

"Well, in that case, let's talk about the specific quantity and how to exchange. I wonder how you are going to exchange these good things?" Hearing You Fu talking about the transaction, Yili immediately became serious.

"Well, our Han tribe has traded with many tribes before, and we have also exchanged living things like this. You have seen the cow that pulls our cart, a cow like that can be exchanged for two clay pots, and if it is a cow, it can be exchanged for three.

If we exchange it with sheep, two sheep can be exchanged for a clay pot, and one sheep can be exchanged for two large bowls.

White salt can only be exchanged for horses, and one horse can be exchanged for five bowls of white salt like this.

As for the others, we want animal skins, as well as cow horns, cow tendons, and cow skins. We want them all, and we can also exchange them for pottery."

Speaking of trading, You Fuzhang was full of nonsense. The Han tribe had never exchanged cattle and horses before, and those they had now were caught with great difficulty. The prices were all made up by him, and they were very expensive.

This time, Youfu's identity has changed. He is no longer the head of the You tribe, but a member of the Han tribe. He has the responsibility to strive for more benefits for the Han tribe, instead of taking advantage of both sides like he did in the Lu tribe. He took the Han tribe's white salt and pottery and didn't care about it. Now these goods are all the things of his own tribe, and the nature is completely different.

After learning about Youfu's offer, Yili couldn't help but reveal a look of pain. The things of the Han tribe are good, but the price is not low. Pottery is easy to say, after all, it is not consumable, it will not break, but the precious white salt can only be exchanged for horses. How many horses can let their Qianyang tribe eat for a year? It is estimated that the new horses born every year will be used to exchange for white salt. Just thinking about it makes me feel painful.

"Brother Youfu, everything else is easy to say, but if you use horses to exchange for this white salt, we can't return all the horses to you. Do you think we can also use cattle and sheep to exchange it?" Yili tried his best to fight for it.

"It's not impossible, but I have a condition. The number of horses must account for more than 40% of the total. We trade 100 livestock, of which 40 must be adult horses.

Our Han tribe also needs horses. I can only give you this price, otherwise I can't explain to our leader when I go back. In this case, he may not let me come next time, and it will be difficult for you to eat white salt at that time."

You Fu thought for a while and said that it seemed unrealistic for him to ask them all to exchange horses for white salt. It would be better to set a ratio so that more horses can be exchanged back.

"Well-ok, then we'll make a deal. We will trade at this price tomorrow." Yili also thought for a while and felt that there was no problem, so he agreed.

After the price was agreed, dinner soon ended with a bonfire performance. There were young and strong men wrestling in the field for everyone to enjoy. The winners would receive meat rewards from the leader, all of which were the best parts of the sheep, and a bowl of fresh milk with a fishy smell.

After wrestling, a group of young women held hands and danced around the bonfire. They only did a few moves, which was not very interesting. They just wanted to have fun together. Otherwise, they would be bored every day except herding and picking up cow dung.

After dinner, Yili allocated two tents for the Han tribe caravan to live in, and also invited Youfu to live in his big tent. Youfu couldn't refuse the other party's enthusiasm, so he had to explain to the tribesmen that someone would take turns to guard the goods and horses at night, and then he entered Yili's big tent.

Youfu thought that this was the end and he could rest in peace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he covered himself with animal skin and lay down, two naked women got into his animal skin quilt. One was a woman from Yili and the other was Yili's eldest daughter.

Youfu was stunned for a moment, and then he heard Yili's voice coming from the dim tent. It turned out that Yili arranged this for Youfu and explained to him that this was the tradition of their grassland people. Because they have always been nomadic, it is not easy to meet strangers. Most of them will use this method to borrow seeds to obtain genes from foreign races and achieve the purpose of optimizing the human race. This is

the first time Youfu has encountered such a custom. When he lived in the mountains before, he only knew that he could have a blind date at the Spring Festival. He didn't expect that the custom here would be like this.

However, Youfu has been out for more than a month with a group of men. There is no woman in the team. He has been hungry and thirsty for a long time. Now someone takes the initiative to throw himself into his arms. There is no need to be modest. He immediately hugs left and right and starts to have sex.

There was no light in the dark tent, but it didn't matter what she looked like, as long as she was a woman. As Youfu repeated his actions continuously, a high-pitched cry soon rang out in the tent, which made Yili feel very relieved.

Not only this tent, but also the tents where the other two Han tribe caravans lived had the same arrangement. It was not easy for a group of strange foreigners to come, and the Qianyang tribe had no reason to waste them. How could they not give up without leaving behind tens of billions of seeds?

After a night of fighting, Youfu got up early the next day and quickly traded with Yili. There were more than 500 people in the Qianyang tribe, and five people needed 100 pots to share. They bought more pottery bowls, and two per person cost more than 1,000. The last white salt was exchanged for four large barrels, and even the barrels were bought by the Qianyang tribe.

Finally, the list of materials obtained by Youfu is as follows: 50 bulls and cows, 550 male and female white curly-horned sheep, 350 adult horses of various colors, more females than males, and some cow and sheep skins, cow horns and tendons.

The harvest of this trip is huge. The Han tribe has never had such a large-scale transaction since its establishment. However, only the nomadic people on the grassland have the capital to trade so many goods at one time. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary tribe, they would not be able to buy many things by exchanging population or animal skins.

The huge harvest made the whole caravan excited. If they could bring these livestock back safely, they would definitely receive generous rewards from the leader and be worshipped as heroes by the tribesmen.

Youfu was also very happy, but only half of the goods in the two carts were sold. He decided to try to contact another nomadic tribe and sell the remaining goods, but this might take longer, so Youfu decided to report the current situation to Luo Chong first to avoid worrying Luo Chong.

So Youfu found the two young men who were good at writing Chinese characters, took out a piece of sheepskin, and used charcoal to write down their discoveries, the location of the big lake and grassland, the nomadic tribes here, the details of this transaction, and Youfu's plans and movements in the future.

Then he rolled up the animal skin letter and tied it to the legs of an Azuka giant eagle, letting it fly back to the tribe to report to Luo Chong.

The Azuka giant eagle used to live near the salt lake iron mine with a large magnetic field for a long time. It is very sensitive to the magnetic field of the earth's magnetism, and it is common for it to identify the direction. Although the journey is long, it has no problem at all.
