Chapter 78 Do you have seeds?

Jiang Xuan brought the people of the Black Tooth Tribe into the bamboo house, and Wu Yu saw the environment where they lived.

What surprised Wu Yu was that in such a small tribe, there was actually pottery, and quite a lot of it.

Of course, many tribes can make pottery, and the large tribes have rich experience in making pottery. The pottery they make is very exquisite, with all kinds of beautiful patterns on it.

In comparison, the pottery of the Teng tribe seems a bit shoddy, after all, their experience and technology are very limited.

Even so, it was remarkable that a small tribe could produce so much pottery.

Jiang Xuan said embarrassedly: "Our Teng tribe is relatively poor, and we don't have anything to offer you."

Jiang Xuan had no intention of cooking for them, and he didn't want to reveal the fact that the Teng tribe had salt. After all, he didn't know anything about the Black Tooth Tribe, so it was best not to reveal anything.

"It's okay, we brought our own food."

Wu Yu didn't care about this because most of the small tribes were short of food. Even if they took out some food to entertain them, it was often not as delicious as the food they brought with them.

"Chief Xuan, is that giant eagle raised by your tribe?"

Wu Yu was very curious about this, because in his opinion, a creature as powerful as a giant eagle would have a very arrogant character and it would be unlikely that such a small and weak tribe could tame it.

"The giant eagle does not belong to our tribe."

Jiang Xuan admitted frankly: "There is an old man from afar who lives in our tribe. He brought the giant eagle with him."

"So that's how it is."

Wu Yu nodded, thinking that it was just as he had guessed, how could such a small tribe afford to raise a giant eagle?

Wu Yu thought about visiting the old man later. If he could do some business with him, he would probably be able to get a lot of good things.

"Chief Xuan, what do you want to trade with us?"

"We have salt, weapons, clothes, jewelry, gems..."

Wu Yu knew all the goods by heart and introduced to Jiang Xuan all the goods that the Teng tribe might need.

Jiang Xuan thought about it and realized that the Teng tribe didn’t need food, drinks, and entertainment, and there was nothing of equal value to trade.

It would be best to find goods that are of lower value but useful to the Vine Tribe.

"Do you have seeds of edible plants? Tubers or seedlings will do."

"Seeds? Seedlings?"

Wu Yu was stunned for a moment. He had traded with so many tribes, but this was the first time he heard such a request.

"Yes, it's the kind of plant that is edible and relatively easy to grow. If you have seeds, I'm willing to trade with you."

Jiang Xuan explained, "Our tribe is relatively small and weak, and there are many casualties when we go into the mountains to hunt, so we have opened up a lot of wasteland and plan to plant some edible plants, so that we can get some food more easily."

What Jiang Xuan said was basically true, but he did not mention that the Teng Tribe mastered the planting technology. Now the land is empty, Wu Yu would never have thought that the Teng Tribe could obtain a large amount of food through planting.

Wu Yu frowned slightly, because what he wanted to trade were things like salt, clothing, gems, etc. that were very valuable and could bring in huge profits, not seeds.

The seeds cannot be exchanged for much because the tribesmen don’t value them at all.

However, since he has come here, it would be difficult for Wu Yu to accept if he returns empty-handed.

He was used to trading some things every time he arrived at a tribe, and he would earn something more or less.

Trading seeds may earn you less money, but it is better than making no money at all.

Wu Yu thought about it carefully and said, "Some time ago, we traded seeds of a plant called ruby ​​with a tribe. They can be eaten after being cooked, but I can't guarantee whether you can grow them."

Jiang Xuan said: "Can you show me what it looks like first?"

Wu Yu nodded, then waved his hand to let a warrior following behind him to get it.

Not long after, the soldier came over carrying a small animal skin bag.

Wu Yu took the animal skin bag in his hand, then untied the rope on the bag, opened the bag, and grabbed a handful of seeds from it.

"Chief Xuan, look, this is the ruby ​​seed."

Jiang Xuan looked at the seeds that Wu Yu took out. He saw that these seeds were about the size of pigeon eggs and looked a bit like red dates.

"Can you give me one so I can take a closer look?"

"no problem."

Wu Yu generously took one and gave it to Jiang Xuan, letting him take a look at it slowly.

In fact, the seeds of this plant called ruby ​​were given to him as gifts by a small tribe when he was trading with them. The tribe gave him two large bags of them.

Along the way, Wu Yu felt that the taste was pretty good, so he cooked and ate most of it, leaving only this small bag.

But Wu Yu was very smart. He did not say that it was a gift from someone else, but said that it was obtained through a transaction. This way it seemed precious and he could ask Jiang Xuan for more.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Although he is a tribal man, Wu Yu has been engaged in various transactions for a long time and has begun to develop the temperament of a profiteer.

Jiang Xuan took the "ruby" seed in his hand. He squeezed it gently and found that it was very hard and dry, with little moisture, not like fruit.

Then he smelled it and found that there was no smell.

Moreover, since Wu Yu had no idea what the plant looked like or what its living habits were, Jiang Xuan had no way to ask.

There are some plants in this world that Jiang Xuan is more familiar with, but there are also many unfamiliar plants, which require time to identify one by one.

Jiang Xuan thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know if this thing can survive, and I don't know if it is a tree or a low plant. This is troublesome..."

Wu Yu saw Jiang Xuan hesitated, fearing that he would not trade, so he immediately said: "Chief Xuan, this thing is delicious. If you don't believe me, ask the soldiers behind me, everyone likes it."

"Besides, I think it should be able to survive because the tribe I visited had a lot of edible rubies."

Jiang Xuan said in embarrassment: "But our tribe doesn't have anything precious to trade..."

Wu Yu looked around the bamboo house of the Teng tribe and said, "We want everything. Animal skins, animal teeth, and animal bones are all fine."

Finally, Wu Yu saw the wild boar tusks hanging on the wall, so he pointed to one of the thick wild boar tusks and said, "This animal tusk is good."

Wu Yu walked to the wall, first observed the complete state of the wild boar tusks, and then said to Jiang Xuan: "If Chief Xuan is willing, you can use these three pairs of animal tusks in exchange for these rubies."

When Jiang Xuan heard this, he was like, wow, he wants to have it all.

He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, these tusks were obtained with great difficulty, and several soldiers were injured for this."

Wu Yu hesitated for a moment, but because he had obtained the ruby ​​for free, he was not so determined, so he said, "Then, two pairs of animal fangs, no less, otherwise this deal cannot be done."

"We traded these rubies from far away," Wu Yu added.

Seeing Wu Yu's firm attitude, Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two pairs of fangs are two pairs of fangs."

Wu Yu suddenly became happy again. He took the two pairs of animal teeth, and then handed the animal skin bag containing the rubies to Jiang Xuan, saying, "Chief Xuan, believe me, you will definitely not suffer any loss in this transaction."

"If you succeed in growing them, you will have endless rubies to eat in the future."

"I hope so."

Jiang Xuan was just trying it out. Besides, the three pairs of wild boar tusks were actually not worth much to him. They could only be used as decorations. It would be worth exchanging them for some new seeds.
