Chapter 566 I should cooperate with you in the performance (please vote and subscribe)

The next morning, it was the beginning of autumn, the weather was still very hot, and the sun was bright at about five o'clock in the morning. Xuan, Yong and others also got up early, took some pottery jars to the beehives to collect honey, and put a lot of honeycombs in jars as a return gift to the Han tribe. These are all good things and can be eaten directly.

In addition, Xuan also asked someone to take a small jar to put some yellow corn as a bargaining chip for trading with the Han tribe.

Then, under the leadership of Yong, the group rushed to the landing point of the Han tribe.

At this time, Youfu and others were cutting trees in the woods not far from the shore. Youfu wanted to insert a wooden pillar here in the camp as a mark to facilitate the confirmation of the landmark when passing by here again in the future. There were plains all around, and there were no obvious landmarks. If you don't make some marks, it will be really difficult to find this place next time.

Anyway, everyone had nothing to do, so they just did it. With so many people chopping a tree, the speed was still very fast. In more than an hour, they made a clean log. Then they dug a hole on the river bank and planted the pillar in it. They hung a piece of white cloth on it as a flag, which looked more eye-catching.

There was still plenty of time, so Youfu asked everyone to pick up some dry branches around to make charcoal. It was inconvenient to bring firewood on the boat, but charcoal was okay. Charcoal was lighter and had a high calorific value. It was very convenient to burn it in the small stove on the boat. It was also their way of cooking and boiling water on the boat.

It was not until lunch at noon that Xuanhe Yong and others arrived here. Before they reached the shore, they saw many men from the Han tribe picking up dry firewood in the woods. For a while, dozens of pairs of eyes from both sides met, and those from the Jiang family were a little stunned.

Yong, who had seen the Han tribe before, had never thought that they would go ashore, while others who had not seen the Han tribe were surprised by their dress.

Everyone was wearing clothes made of strange things, and their hair was tied up. They were holding tools that they had never seen before. However, they were actually picking up branches here. This seemed to be no different from their own tribe, because the Jiang clan also had to store firewood frequently.

When they came to their senses and were about to say something, the people from the Han tribe spoke first.

"The leader is over there. We are here to pick up firewood. I will take you there."

After the man finished speaking, he tied up the collected branches with a rope, inserted a long branch in the middle, and walked in front of them. He turned around and waved his hand to let the people from the Jiang clan behind him follow.

Xuan and Yong looked at each other, as if to say, "The other party is just here to pick up firewood, there is no problem." The two saw each other's affirmative eyes, and then they were relieved. They were really afraid that the Han tribe came ashore to plot against them.

The group quickly walked out of the woods. As soon as they came to the river, Xuan saw a lot of people by the river, about two hundred or so, all men, all dressed the same. Needless to say, these were the people of the Han tribe. However, after listening to Yong's description last night, he was not surprised. What surprised him was that several round earth mounds suddenly appeared by the river. Some were sealed tightly, and some had several holes on the top and bottom. Smoke and fire kept coming out of those holes. I don't know what the Han tribe is doing.

"Captain, those people from yesterday are back."

The guy who just carried the firewood shouted to You Fu as soon as he returned to the camp.

You Fu also put down the shorthand brush in his hand, complained to the leader that he asked him to write a sailing log every day, and stood up to greet the visitors with a smile.

"Welcome, welcome, I knew you would come. Come and sit here. Come on, make some tea."

You Fu quickly put the paper and pen on the small table aside, and called Yong and Xuan to come and sit.

Yong was also surprised. After just one day of not seeing the river beach, which was a wild land before, it had changed. Tents were neatly arranged in several rows, and a awning with a linen roof was set up in the middle. There was a mat under the awning, and a rectangular low table was placed in the middle of the straw mat. There were straw mats around the table. It was here that Youfu had just written.

Yong, who had just left here yesterday, was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. At this speed, they built the house in one day? ! It actually looked no worse than the houses in their tribe. If they were given a few more days, I wonder what these people would turn this place into.

"Sit down, sit down quickly, just sit like this."

Youzhi, who personally participated in rescuing them yesterday, also greeted Yong, and then immediately sat on the mat on one side of the table to demonstrate to them.

Yong saw the familiar Youzhi and Youfu, and his nervous mood relaxed. He winked at his leader, and the others followed and sat in other empty seats. Yong introduced them first.

"This is our tribe's leader Xuan, and our tribe has gifts for you, please accept them." He first introduced the leader beside him, then carried a jar and placed it on the table, carefully, as if he was afraid of breaking the table.

"How about it, do you like the things we gave you yesterday? If you still want them, we can trade."

After both parties sat down, someone brought tea to the side. Each person had a ceramic Sancai cup with a small saucer underneath, also called a cup holder, a tea bowl in the middle, and a lid on top.

Xuan opened the lid curiously and found some wilted black leaves soaked in red soup, which was quite hot. It didn't look like a good thing, but he still had to respect the other party's habits. Maybe their tribe liked to eat tree leaves.

But he was a little embarrassed. Last night he ate the meat soup with the tea bowl given by You Fu. While eating, he complained about the aesthetic of the Han tribe. The bowl was beautiful, but it was too small and couldn't hold much food. Moreover, the bowl was so thin that it was hot in the hand.

Only now did he know that this thing needs a lid, a bowl, and a cup holder to be used together, so that the cup holder will not burn your hands, and this thing is not for drinking porridge at all. Youfu

took a sip of the tea bowl, then put down the cup and smiled, "Thank you for your gift. I wonder what you want to exchange this time. If you don't like the things yesterday, we have many other things to exchange."

Xuan also imitated Youfu and took a sip. It was so hot that his tongue hurt and it was bitter. He didn't understand what was so good about the boiled leaves. However, he was more certain of his thoughts last night. Although this tribe is good at making things, they definitely can't grow food. Look, they are so hungry that they boiled leaves to eat. If he took out millet himself, are you afraid that he can't keep their talents? Thinking of this, Xuan was more confident.

"We like your things very much, but we don't have anything to exchange. Our tribe has honey, that's it. Apart from these, I don't think you need anything else, because you also have what we have." Xuan said, while gesturing to Youfu and showing Youfu a honey pot.

As if afraid that Youfu would look down on them, Xuan continued, "However, we can't give you much of this honey, but we can teach you a way to get food, so that everyone in your tribe can have enough to eat, without having to eat boiled leaves every day, which is not enough to fill you up."

Xuan put the cup lid aside and pointed to the rising and falling tea leaves in the bowl, then patted his stomach, gestured to everyone around him, and finally put out a can of yellow millet.

Then he gestured excitedly again, and began to vigorously promote how delicious their millet was and how many people it could feed.

But when he just put the millet out, he saw Youfu's eyes light up. When they took out the honey just now, Youfu just glanced at it lightly and then smiled. It was different from now. Could it be that this guy knew the goods and knew millet?

Youfu naturally couldn't know millet, but after eating grains in the Han tribe for so many years, he already knew the characteristics of grains and could tell which were grain seeds and which were ordinary grass seeds.

The yellow millet was full, although it was different from all the grains in the Han tribe. But it was still clear that it was food. If you have to compare it, then this millet is very similar to the sorghum rice that the Han tribe got recently, except that it is smaller than sorghum and the color is different.

And judging from Xuan's gestures, they have been planting for a long time and have mature planting techniques. This time they also want to use the technology of planting this crop to exchange things with the Han tribe.

It's no wonder that Xuan's move just aroused Youfu's interest. They came out to scout the route. The purpose of scouting the route was naturally to expand outward in the future. In this way, those places with important resources became the first choice of the Han tribe. Food is also a resource, and fertile land that can grow food is even more of a resource.

"Exchange this? What is this called?"

Youfu was very excited when he thought of this. This is new food. No matter how it tastes, how easy it is to grow, or how much it can produce, it is still food. As long as it is a new grain, it will be a great achievement to bring it back. As for how to grow the food well, it is not his concern. The omnipotent leader will naturally come up with an idea.

"Uh, yes, use this in exchange. This thing is called millet. It is delicious and easy to grow. As long as you learn to grow this, I promise..."

"No need to say, this millet, right? Where is the seed of this thing? What should I pay attention to when growing it? As long as you tell me these, I will give you some gifts."

Xuan on the other side was a little confused. Originally, he wanted to emphasize the importance of growing food, but now he was interrupted by Youfu when he was halfway through. He asked about growing millet urgently, and seemed to value this thing more than he did. This was completely different from the script he had expected last night. Shouldn't he emphasize the benefits of growing food, and then the other party begged him to teach them how to grow crops with shining eyes? At that time, he would offer some conditions to keep people or exchange technology, and then the other party would agree to it. This script is completely different.

Although Youfu saw that Xiaomi's reaction was similar to what he expected, he was very excited and eager, and he also said that he was willing to give something, but the order was reversed.

My performance and explanation haven't finished yet, and you, a supporting role, jumped out before I finished my lines. Do you really like grain? You are stealing the show, you are cheap.

However, Xuan also reacted quickly. Youfu was anxious to get the corn before he finished introducing himself, and asked about the things to pay attention to when planting. This obviously shows that they also know how to plant. Moreover, he also knows that these corns cannot be planted, and he asked me for unshelled millet. Obviously, it is not as simple as he thought.

But he still looks very excited, which may mean that he has seen this thing somewhere else. He may have seen other tribes planting millet, but they didn't get the seeds, nor did they learn the planting technology. They only knew that there was such a thing, and they relied on planting to harvest. There should be nothing else, so he was so excited when he saw the corn again this time, which can explain it.

Xuan and Yong started to make up their minds on their own, and forced to explain why Youfu had such a reaction.

"How is it, is there any? When can we get the seeds?" Seeing that the other party was staring at him blankly without saying anything, You Fu was a little anxious and asked again.

"Well, yes, the seeds are in our tribe. I can teach you how to grow millet, but the fields are all in our tribe. If you want to learn, you must go back to the tribe with us." Xuan came back to his senses and said, but he glanced at the two or three hundred people around him, so he hurriedly added.

"Just a few people will do. You can bring a few people back to the tribe with us. We will teach you how to grow this thing and give you some seeds when the time comes."

Xuan said, while complaining in his heart, don't let so many people go. There are two or three hundred guests. They don't have so much surplus food to entertain so many people. It's not stingy, but practical difficulties. However, if these people can stay, this year is a little difficult, but they can still get through it. It will be better to plant more food next year.

"Okay, when are you leaving? We can leave now." You Fu stood up and said immediately.

"Ah, so anxious?"

This time, the Jiang family members were stunned. They didn't expect Youfu to care so much about farming. However, the more he paid attention to it, the more Xuan felt that the chance of keeping them was greater. So in order to implement this matter as soon as possible, Xuan stopped dawdling and stood up to go back.

"Since you are so anxious, let's go now. Walk faster. Maybe we can reach our tribe before dark."

The two leaders stood up, and the other followers followed. In order not to waste time, everyone was light and simple. Youfu didn't bring anything, and left behind a few jars of honey.

Youfu brought Youzhi and six other followers, a total of eight people, carrying ten days of food for several people, a small iron pot and some tableware, and some other necessary materials. Youzhi helped Youfu carry paper and pen and some small things he brought with him. Everyone carried a sword and a military shovel, and two of them carried spears. The group set off with the Jiang family members.
