The hot-tempered chief, who didn't believe that stones could be exchanged for salt, walked forward angrily after beating someone. He didn't believe the words of several women in the tribe.
However, when he saw the large number of stones placed in front of the Qingque tribe caravan, his disbelief was reduced a lot.
"¥%..."
He put down the prey on his shoulders, and spoke to Mao with excited gestures, asking about things.
Different from how he treated Huang Guo and the others, when facing Shang and Mao, all his temper disappeared, because he knew that the people of this tribe had very good things.
Moreover, they looked much stronger than before.
Mao smiled and began to popularize the new trading rules that he had repeated many times. The mouth of the leader of the Huangguo tribe gradually opened wide. He looked at the stones on the ground and the goods placed on the ground by the Qingque tribe, and then looked at the Huangguo people who had just been beaten not far away. He felt a little dazed.
What they said is actually true?
Stones can actually be exchanged for salt? Are the people of this tribe stupid, or am I crazy?
Huang Guo thought about it and walked to the cave to take out the jar of salt. After handing it to the chief, he pointed at the caravan of the Qingque tribe and started talking in a loud voice.
The chief looked at the salt that was actually inside the pottery jar and finally believed this fact that didn't seem real at all.
Huang Guo was beaten again. The reason for the beating was why she didn't take out the salt jar earlier...
But this time the leader did not use too much force.
After confirming that the stones could be exchanged for salt, the chief was undoubtedly extremely happy. He didn't even bother to make food and wanted to ask people to find more stones. However, Mao quickly stopped him.
The leader, who finally understood the rules of the trade, seemed a little disappointed, but then became happy because in addition to stones, he could also exchange various seeds and cubs for salt and pottery.
After receiving this news, he immediately thought of the pile of seeds stored in the cave of his tribe for use as food.
He immediately returned to the cave, came to a corner, and began to put something on the animal skin package spread on the ground, making some rustling noises.
When holding it, sometimes my hands would suddenly shrink as if they were pricked by something.
After a while, the leader came out carrying a package of animal skins and placed it in front of Shang and Mao. The true appearance of the contents inside was revealed.
These are some half-moon pods that are wood-colored, with several consecutive bulges on the pods, which are where the seeds are.
More than half of the pods had cracked open and were curling up, with the seeds inside falling to the bottom.
On the animal skin package lay some small, round yellow balls, which were the seeds in the pods.
Mao picked up a seed, put it in his mouth and chewed it hard.
The seeds were very hard, but not as hard as primitive people's teeth, and they were chewed up by Mao in a short while.
The taste is neither bitter nor astringent, but it is not very good either. It is not a very good food.
After Mao came to a conclusion about this thing, he spat it out and rinsed his mouth with water.
The leader on one side looked on with amusement.
They don't usually eat much of these edible seeds, and usually only eat them when food is extremely scarce.
Because the seeds are too small, they were mostly eaten raw in the past, because roasting them over fire was too troublesome and would burn if not handled properly.
It tastes quite good when cooked in the clay pot I got from this tribe.
However, the Huangguo tribe still does not eat too much of it, because after eating this kind of seeds, the stomach will easily become bloated, and people will fart continuously, which is very uncomfortable.
The chief looked at Mao and seemed a little worried, afraid that these seeds could not be exchanged for salt. After all, these seeds were not very good food.
Shang and Mao compared the seeds they exchanged with those from other tribes. After confirming that this was a new seed they had never seen before, they accepted it with a smile and exchanged it for two spoons of salt.
The nervous leader breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and looked at the jars with a lot more salt, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
After a while, the happy leader felt a little guilty. After all, the seeds he exchanged for salt were not very tasty, and the quantity was not large.
He immediately returned to the cave and came out with two full packages of animal skins, saying that these were given to him for free.
Shang and Mao quickly shook their heads, indicating that they didn't want them. Firstly, there were too many things to carry, and secondly, they remembered the instructions of the Son of God that they didn't need to bring too many of each seed.
Seeing that Shang and Mao refused to take them, the leader had to ask someone to take back the seeds, which would make people feel uncomfortable in the stomach after eating them.
Han Cheng didn't know what was happening here. If he knew, he would be stunned and kick Shang and Mao who were faithfully carrying out his orders.
This thing is soybean!
The trading team of the Qingque tribe stayed in Huang Guo's tribe for two days.
During these two days, the people of this tribe were basically looking for stones and various seeds that they usually ignored, in exchange for delicious salt and precious pottery.
Because they are linked to these two things, these things that are not valued by people immediately become attractive.
Two days later, the people of the Green Bird tribe left behind some salt and pottery, and took away the stones and seeds they exchanged from this tribe, as well as some furs.
After they left, the people in Huang Guo's tribe did not slacken their search for stones and seeds. Instead, they would pay attention to these things when hunting or doing other things, and if they found anything different, they would bring it back to the tribe.
Because when the tribe left, they left an agreement that after a period of time, they would come back with salt and pottery to exchange these things.
This time the tribe stayed here for a short time, and due to the rush of time, they were unable to search properly. Now that they have plenty of time, they have to be more careful.
Try to exchange stones, seeds and cubs for plenty of salt and pottery when that tribe comes again.
This is the voice of Huang Guo and others.
This is also the voice of all the tribesmen who heard the news.
After the trading team of the Green Bird Tribe passed by, those tribes that had tasted the sweetness began to spontaneously search for stones, seeds, and cubs, without the need for anyone to supervise them.
Shang and Mao also began to lead the trading team back, because they had almost exchanged all the salt and pottery they carried.
When they returned, Han Cheng had also piled up the last stone, forming a circular flower bed 80 centimeters high with a clump of green bamboo in the middle. It looked quite pleasing to the eye.
After finishing the work on the flower bed, Han Cheng started to work on another thing: letting the rooster hatch eggs.
