The warm hospitality of the eldest brother calmed the guilty heart of the Sheep Tribe leader.

He was no longer in a hurry to leave, but stopped to look at the original version of the spear cap on the eldest brother's head, and the two gloves tied with ropes and hanging around his neck.

Then he asked the eldest brother with excitement if they could exchange these two things.

To show his sincerity, he took out a pottery bowl from the pile of pottery he had just exchanged.

This was exchanged for five lambskins or two large lambskins.

The eldest brother had received instructions from the Son of God a few days ago, saying that pottery was a very durable item. After these tribes had exchanged it several times and had stock in the tribe, they would no longer use food to exchange for pottery.

In order to maintain this primitive trade, exploit several nearby tribes and lay the foundation for the slowly expanding salt policy, it was necessary to constantly develop new things for the people of these tribes to exchange and make them poorer.

The leader of the Sheep Tribe will focus on the gloves and hats worn by the people of the Green Bird Tribe. In addition to the fact that their own hands are frozen and cracked from raising sheep, this is also related to the fact that the eldest brother frequently inserts and removes the gloves and adjusts the hat from time to time.

Gloves and hats made of animal skins are what Han Cheng decided to sell to the tribes that would come this winter.

The weather is so cold, now is the time to wear a pair of gloves and a hat to keep warm.

As for why these tribesmen would not exchange because of the price, that...

This did not exist, because what Han Cheng asked for in exchange was not necessarily the food on which they depended for survival, but also a considerable amount of furs.

Of course these tribesmen would not agree to exchange food for gloves and hats, but they would have no problem exchanging furs for them.

As the uses of fur are constantly being developed, the demand for fur in the Qingque tribe is now very high.

Not to mention anything else, just the bedding alone requires a lot.

Developing two more things for trading would also be beneficial for the Qingque tribe.

The leader of the Sheep Tribe thought he was very generous by exchanging a pottery bowl for a hat and gloves. However, to his surprise, the man who had just spoken to them with a smile and told them that they could come to get salt at any time shook his head.

The Sheep Tribe leader felt very angry when he saw the neighboring tribal leader touching the hat on his head and the gloves hanging around his neck, then pointing at the pottery bowl and raising two fingers to himself.

He thought they suffered a great loss in this exchange.

“%#……%”

He bargained with his hands and feet like the eldest senior brother.

But the eldest brother, who was extremely generous with salt, was surprisingly stingy when it came to the hats and gloves made of fur. He insisted on the price of one bowl for a hat or one bowl for a pair of gloves and refused to give in.

After some bargaining, the leader of the Sheep Tribe became even more angry.

In his opinion, such hats and gloves would not require too much fur, but the people of this tribe wanted them to exchange two bowls that they had bought with a lot of fur. This was really unacceptable!

"￥#WC"

He spoke to the eldest brother in an angry tone, then turned around angrily holding the ceramic bowl in his hand, meaning that he would not change it.

The eldest brother now looks like a profiteer. After seeing the business negotiations fall through, he is not in a hurry at all.

He called the leader of the Sheep Tribe, then took off the hat on his head and put it on the leader's head while it was still hot.

He also carefully tied the ropes under the 'hat ears' on both sides to the chin of the sheep tribe leader.

The eldest brother's actions were very gentle, even when he was treating his own spouse, he was never so gentle.

The Sheep Tribe leader was a little reluctant at first, but as he felt the warmth, he soon stopped struggling.

The ears that were frozen and painful due to exposure to the cold air were now firmly protected by the warm 'hat ears'. Sticking to the cheeks, they felt a little cool and then a little itchy, but no matter what, it was an extremely comfortable feeling.

It was so comfortable that even the leader of the Sheep Tribe was unwilling to take it off!

The eldest brother took off the gloves hanging around his neck and put them on the neck of the Sheep Tribe leader. He then lifted up the Sheep Tribe leader's hands, which had many dry and cracked cuts due to not washing hands frequently and not having gloves to protect them, and helped him put on the gloves carefully.

A kind of warmth quickly enveloped the pair of hands that were freezing and numb.

The eyes of the leader of the Sheep Tribe sparkled. He tried to curl his hands continuously and found that the fur was very soft and did not affect the curling of his hands much.

A pair of hands that had never been warmed since the beginning of winter except in the crotch of pants or the arms of a spouse, felt the warmth on this small fur thing.

When the people of the Sheep Tribe saw how enjoying their leader was, they couldn't help but become curious and expectant. Is this thing really that good?

It turned out that these two things were so good that the leader of the sheep tribe didn't want to pick them off.

He hesitated for a while, but finally took off his hat. The cold air made him shiver uncontrollably. His skin, which had just felt warm, felt even colder, especially his ears, which were covered with frostbite.

He put the hat back on and brought two ceramic bowls to his eldest brother.

Pottery was already very common in the Green Bird Tribe, and what they needed more was fur, so the eldest brother pushed back the two bowls brought by the leader of the Sheep Tribe.

This made the leader of the Sheep Tribe extremely puzzled.

In order to exchange this thing, he had just argued so fiercely, insisting on exchanging two ceramic bowls, why did he not want it now? Could it be that this guy had a change of heart?

The eldest brother certainly did not have a change of heart. He pointed at the hat on the head of the Sheep Tribe leader, then pointed at the bowl in the Sheep Tribe leader's hand, patted the sheepskin wrapped around his body, then raised one palm and stretched out all five fingers, meaning that one hat would be exchanged for five lambskins.

He patted the sheepskin wrapped around his body, made a big gesture, and then stretched out two fingers, indicating that he could also exchange it for two large sheepskins.

At the same time, he said something to support it.

The eldest brother, who liked to exchange the less precious things from his own tribe for many things from other tribes, also felt some trouble at this time.

In their tribe, if you want to express the number of things, you can just say the numbers "one, two, three, four, five,..." taught by the Son of God. However, when trading with these tribes, you can only use fingers. When there are too many things and fingers are not enough, you need to use small stones, sticks and other things, which is really troublesome.

The Sheep Tribe leader could not understand what the eldest brother meant by "five" and "two", but he could understand the fingers he stretched out.

After understanding what the eldest brother meant, the leader of the Sheep Tribe seemed a little frustrated, because all the sheepskins they brought this time were used to exchange for pottery, while the leader of the neighboring tribe asked to use the sheepskins in exchange for what they called "hats and gloves", which they really could not afford now.

It seems I can only wait until next time to exchange it.

If there is heavy snow, they may not be able to have these two things throughout the entire cold season.

This put him in a very difficult position.

He thought for a while, took off his hat and gloves reluctantly, handed them to his eldest brother, and expressed his meaning to him.

He originally thought that based on the character of the tribal leader, he would definitely take back the hat and gloves, and bartering on the spot was the method they adopted.

However, the chief smiled and put his hat and gloves back on him, and told him that he could take the two things back first, and when he came next time, he could just tie the sheepskin that he needed to exchange for the two things.

This made the Sheep Tribe leader surprised and happy, as he understood what the eldest brother meant after some thought.

He raised his gloved hand, touched the hat on his head, then walked over and hugged the eldest brother tightly, and pressed his forehead against the eldest brother's shoulder to express his joy and emotion.

Then they beat their chests and assured the eldest brother that they would definitely deliver the furs and asked the eldest brother and the others to rest assured.

This practice of selling on credit, which was extremely common in later generations, immediately achieved excellent results after it was introduced ahead of schedule.

Because when you strip away the cloak of increasing sales, it also implies a relationship of trust.

Most people in later generations are not very sensitive to this relationship, but simple primitive people attach great importance to it.

This is also why the leader of the Sheep Tribe had such a reaction after understanding the eldest brother’s meaning.
