Chapter 360: Fire Tribe? Weavers?



Sister Bai Xue was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence in this meeting with the Fire Tribe.

Not only the women, but also the male primitive people of the Fire Tribe were gradually attracted by what she said. Like the women, they gathered around and listened carefully to Sister Bai Xue's story.

Han Cheng looked at the little child bride who was like the moon surrounded by stars, and a smile kept on his face.

It feels good to make a daughter-in-law who was not valued by her parents' family feel proud after returning home through her own efforts.

When women with nothing to do get together, the topic they eventually talk about is always about things like clothes and hair, whether in ancient times or in later times.

After the story was told, while the men were still finding it incredible about the Green Bird Tribe, the women of the Fire Tribe had already turned their attention to Snow White's pigtails.

Sister Bai Xue remembered the rules of the Qingque tribe and called a few women from the Qingque tribe over and taught them how to braid pigtails for adults.

Han Cheng looked at the women of the Fire Tribe who had washed their hair with wood ash and tied their hair into pigtails, and his smile became even more intense. If the animal skins worn by the people of the Fire Tribe were stripped off, their bodies were cleaned, and they were dressed in the clothes of their tribe, they would definitely be people from the Green Bird Tribe.

Sister Bai Xue, who taught the women of the Fire Tribe how to braid their pigtails, came skipping to Han Cheng's side. The leader of the Fire Tribe, who had hesitated for a long time, also followed her.

The leader of the Fire Tribe was surprised and unconvinced by what Sister Bai Xue said, many of which he did not understand. He felt that it was impossible for a single tribe to produce these things.

After all, this is far beyond their understanding.

The rest of the Fire Tribe members basically share the same attitude.

But the pottery, the salt, the boat that could sail on the water... these things that he saw with his own eyes, all confirmed to him the correctness of what Sister Bai Xue said.

What kind of tribe is this?

Similar words have lingered in the mind of the Fire Tribe leader more than once.

Originally, it was thought that they would have a hard time being led by such a minor, but the fact was that they lived better than their own tribe.

And now he has discovered that there are a lot more people coming to this tribe than last time.

And both men and women seem to have more energy than the people in their own tribe.

This made him believe about 70% of what Bai Xuemei said, that the Green Bird tribe had more people than their Fire tribe.

"Ask him what he wants."

Seeing that the leader of the Fire Tribe had not spoken since he came over and seemed hesitant, Han Cheng asked Bai Xuemei, the little translator, to ask.

Want some more pottery and salt?

Han Cheng pondered over this sentence.

The leader of the Fire Tribe looked at Han Cheng who was silent, twisted his body somewhat unnaturally, and felt that he had gone too far.

The other party gave some precious pottery and salt to his tribe, but he actually wanted more.

He thought so and was about to withdraw his request, but unexpectedly the silent leader of minors spoke at this time.

Can you really give me some more?!

After the leader of the Fire Tribe understood what Sister Bai Xue had conveyed, he stood up from the ground in surprise.

Han Cheng looked at the excited Fire Tribe leader and smiled kindly.

Of course it’s not free this time. What was given before was considered Sister Bai Xue’s betrothal gift. If you want it again, you’ll have to pay some price.

In exchange for bamboo or hemp?

The leader of the Fire Tribe was completely confused. He didn't know what the bamboo and hemp that Sister Bai Xue mentioned were.

Han Cheng asked Bai Xuemei to tell the leader of the Fire Tribe that it was something growing upstream of the river.

Bamboo and hemp are too far away from the Qingque tribe. It takes nearly a month to harvest them back and forth, which is too hard. It would be much more comfortable if other tribes could transport them to their tribe.

With these foreign hemp crops, the tribe can grow less hemp and more edible millet in the future.

If possible, it would be best to teach the people of the Fire Tribe to weave cloth with linen, and then let them use the woven cloth to trade salt, pottery and other things within their own tribe.

Weaving has always been a labor-intensive and difficult job.

When the Qingque tribe began to grow hemp and weave cloth, many people would inevitably be bound by the small looms and unable to move.

Correspondingly, the number of people doing other work will decrease and production capacity will decline.

If such a time-consuming and laborious job were outsourced to the Fire Tribe, the Green Bird Tribe would have it much easier.

As long as they harvested wild hemp and wove cloth, they could exchange it for what their tribe needed, and the people of the Fire Tribe would not refuse.

In the long run, when the Fire Tribe continues to expand production and gets used to exchanging the spun linen for living materials from the Green Bird Tribe, their lifeline will be controlled by the Green Bird Tribe. When the time comes... hehehe...

Don’t want to trade in hemp and bamboo?

The words conveyed by Bai Xue were undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured over Han Cheng's head, instantly extinguishing the raging fire in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Han Cheng said, "If they are willing to join our tribe, then they will have everything we have, not just pottery and salt, but also other things..."

As Han Cheng expected, after stating these conditions, the leader of the Fire Tribe immediately shook his head and refused.

As a leader, he generally will not abandon his tribe and join other tribes as long as he can still survive.

On the contrary, some female primitive people who heard this around were somewhat moved.

Firstly, they are not leaders and don’t think much about it. Secondly, the life that Sister Bai Xue talks about is too tempting.

And Bai Xuemei herself is the best example. A person who was about to be burned to death, after coming to that tribe, suddenly transformed herself and became the one they envied...

The leader of the Fire Tribe thought for a while, then shook his head and left in disappointment.

Although he longed for pottery and salt, he was not yet willing to give up his tribe for them. After all, his tribe could live well without them.

Compared with this, exchanging it with bamboo and hemp became a good choice, which made him somewhat tempted.

But when he thought that in order to get these two things, he would need to go upstream, he gave up the idea.

They were not a tribe that came from the water, so they did not have the ability to build boats that could sail on the water, and they did not know what hemp and bamboo looked like.

"You can send a few people to go with us to see what the hemp and bamboo look like, and then take a look at our tribe to see if it is just like what Sister Bai Xue said..."

Seeing that the outsourcing of weaving was about to fall through, Han Cheng thought for a moment and spoke out.

"This time, you don't need to exchange hemp. As long as someone goes, we will give it away..."
