The hunchbacked primitive man turned around and looked at the precious pottery brought by his tribe, and then compared it with the precious pottery in front of him. He immediately knew why the tribe in front of him behaved like this.
If my tribe had such exquisite pottery, I would probably think the ones my tribe had would be like this.
Perhaps even more proud than the people of this tribe show.
As they possessed such exquisite pottery, they were indeed qualified to look down on the pottery brought from their own tribe.
But what about salt soil?
What about the delicious salt soil?
What our tribe carried was not only pottery, but also white salt soil!
Thinking of the salt soil, the hunchbacked primitive man suddenly felt more confident.
He stood up from here, and then quickly took a jar of delicious salt soil from where they placed things, brought it over, and placed it in front of the leader of the tribe who raised his head high so that only his chin could be seen.
"@4@#34!"
He said loudly and pointed to the jar of salt soil.
The leader of the tribe, who had his head held high, lowered his head a little, glanced sideways, then snorted arrogantly, and raised his head high again, looking extremely arrogant and domineering.
Fortunately, there was still important work to do, so the leader of the tribe posed for a while, then squatted down and carefully picked up the gourd that was placed aside.
Then he pulled it open and poured out some salt from the gourd very carefully.
After waving it in front of the hunchbacked primitive man's eyes, he gathered his hands together, moved them to the edge of the gourd, and carefully poured the liquid into it.
It seemed as if it was worried that if people looked at it for a little longer, these precious salts would be gone.
This is table salt!
Not only does the food it makes taste extremely delicious, it also has no other taste.
And these are clean inside.
Unlike the salt these guys brought, not only did it not taste very good, but it also contained some fine dirt.
I had never seen anything better before, and I thought that salt was the same as what these people brought.
Now that he had seen something better, the leader of the tribe immediately labeled the hunchbacked primitives as dishonest.
Seeing that the hunchbacked primitive man was staring at his hands and gourd, the leader of the tribe thought for a moment and put the small salt particles on his palm into the palm of the hunchbacked primitive man, looking a little distressed.
After doing all this, he stood up from the ground, holding the gourd tightly, and raised his head with a blue bump on it high again.
However, this time he didn't raise his hand as high as before, because if he raised it too high, he wouldn't be able to secretly look at the hunchbacked primitive man, and this would lose a lot of the pleasure.
As the tribal leader raised his head and squinted his eyes as hard as he could to look quietly, the hunchbacked primitive man recalled the scene he had just seen, and then looked carefully at the salt grains in his palm. He was a little confused for a moment.
There is no soil or sand in the salt, and he had never thought about such a thing before.
But now, he saw it clearly.
After a while, the hunchbacked primitive man put his palm to his mouth and carefully put the tiny salt particles into his mouth.
After taking a bite of salt that was a little different from what he had seen before, the hunchbacked primitive man's glasses immediately lit up with disbelief.
The salt he tasted was not only free of sand, but more importantly, it tasted very good, neither bitter nor astringent!
The hunchbacked primitive man only felt that today's experience was extremely surprising. Before this, he had never imagined that one day he would be in a tribe that exchanged food with them for salt and pottery, and be so shocked by these two things, pottery and salt, that he was speechless!
"@#4W3..."
The hunchbacked primitive man squatting here in shock shook his head vigorously and began to ask the leader of the tribe where they got these two precious things.
He didn't believe that the tribe in front of him had done this themselves.
You know, even their tribe doesn’t know how to make these two extremely precious things.
The tribe in front of us had exchanged these two things with our own tribe before. If they had been able to make them themselves before, they would never have exchanged food and other things with their own tribe, but would have been as proud as they are now.
The two tribes did not speak the same language. The hunchbacked primitive man communicated with the leader of the tribe for a long time and paid half a gourd of salt soil before he finally learned the origin of these two extremely precious things.
Just as he had thought before, such precious things were indeed not something that the tribe in front of him could produce, and they were obtained by exchanging food from other tribes.
That tribe, like them, also carried those two precious things to exchange for food and other things.
Just as this tribe did not know where it came from or where it was going, the people of this tribe also did not know where the tribe that was trading precious things with them came from.
But one difference is that the people of that tribe don't have big livestock. They transport goods by either carrying them on their backs or by tying them to a flat stick and then carrying them on their backs...
The hunchbacked primitive people left the tribe carrying their goods and leading the large livestock belonging to their tribe.
This time, not only did they fail to get the food they expected from the tribe, but on the contrary, in order to get news about the mysterious tribe, they also paid half a gourd of salt.
This kind of thing had never happened in their previous exchanges.
The hunchbacked primitive man, holding a large laden animal in one hand and a sharp weapon in the other, turned his head and looked behind him.
The people of this tribe faced the direction they were leaving and raised their heads higher.
Seeing this scene, the hunchbacked primitive man wanted to take his people back and give all the people in the tribe a good beating with the weapons in his hands, or just kill them directly and steal the two precious things.
But in the end, he suppressed the impulse.
This is not only because he understands the behavior of these people very well. If their tribe can possess these two things, when facing a tribe that is much stronger than their own, he will also hold his head high, maybe even higher than these people.
More importantly, the tribal priests had told them more than once that when they were exchanging outside, as long as the people of other tribes did not actively attack their tribe and did not do anything harmful to their tribe, they could not actively attack other tribes.
The hunchbacked primitive people knew why they did this.
The way their tribe obtains large amounts of food is different from the way many tribes obtain food.
The other tribes mostly obtained their food by gathering it from trees and grass, or by hunting, while their tribe obtained its food from the other tribes.
These tribes are like fruit-bearing trees. If a fruit-bearing tree is killed, they will never be able to get fruit from it again.
If they did not kill their people and destroy the tribe, their tribe would rely on pottery, salt and other things to obtain many things from these tribes, time and time again.
This is their survival wisdom, and the biggest reason why their tribe lives better than most tribes they have seen.
When many things are related to survival, they will get more attention from people. In such circumstances, people tend to become smarter and more persevering, just like the tribe of hunchbacked primitive people.
Under the influence of their stomachs or lives, they forcibly acquired these wisdoms of life that are suitable for them...
The hunchbacked primitives led their group away and headed towards the other tribes they knew about in the area.
Compared with the pure joy before, the team now seemed less cheerful than before.
Most people were still thinking about the amazing things they had seen in that tribe not long ago.
Using all the words they could imagine to describe the beauty of the two things.
Some people still imagine how great it would be if they could get something like that.
Only the hunchbacked primitive man and a few other very few people were worried about something that looked so exquisite.
Their tribe relied on pottery and salt to obtain food, but now they encountered better things, so the things they carried with them were not enough to get food in this tribe.
This is not good news for their tribe.
The hunchbacked primitive people were even worried about what would happen to their tribe in the future if more tribes became like the one they had just left.
It has to be said that there are always few smart people, and most people are just ordinary people.
If you don't look at things in the long term, you can only see what is in front of you.
As for what the things they see before their eyes represent, it is not within their consideration at all.
With different feelings, everyone came to another tribe after walking for several days.
What the hunchbacked primitive man feared did not happen.
When the tribe saw them coming, they were still as enthusiastic as before.
This made the hunchbacked primitive man breathe a sigh of relief.
After some exchanges, the hunchbacked primitives stood up from here, carrying their belongings, and headed towards the rest of the tribe...
Time passed by little by little, and before we knew it, some tiny buds had appeared on the bare leaves, and the green in the dead grass gradually increased and became thicker and thicker.
The hunchbacked old primitive man led his team and began to return.
Compared with previous times, this transaction for their tribe took longer.
This was mainly because the three tribes that were expected to trade with their tribe had already obtained better pottery and salt through the rest of the people.
This resulted in them visiting more tribes before they were able to exchange everything they had with them.
As spring approaches, the people in the team become more and more restless, but the hunchbacked primitive man does not seem to have that much energy.
Even though the female primitives wearing garlands in the team had passed by him more than once, he still had no extra interest in doing anything.
This is partly because he is already older and has experienced more things, so his demand for these things is not as strong as before.
What is more important is to think about what happened this time.
They don't feel bad for spending extra time. To them, time is the least valuable thing.
Rather, I thought of the fine pottery and delicious salt, and the people who possessed these things and traded them with other tribes.
This time, they didn't meet the people who did it.
"#¥5@3..."
After thinking like this for a while, the hunchbacked primitive man spoke aloud.
What he meant was that everyone should do less of other things and focus more on the journey. Things that were not related to the journey should be started when they started to rest. He wanted to lead everyone back to the tribe as soon as possible.
What he encountered this time was completely beyond his expectations. The tribe had never encountered such a situation before, and he couldn't figure out how to deal with these things.
That's why he asked people to hurry up and travel.
The sooner he returned to the tribe, the sooner he could meet the tribal priest and tell him about these things so that he could give advice.
The priest is so smart, he must know how his tribe should deal with these situations that they have never encountered before...
The two donkeys were harnessed to the wooden rakes made by Mao Er and others, and then they began to move forward at the shouts of the second senior brother.
The teeth of the harrow, pressed into the plowed earth, moved forward as the donkey moved forward.
Some of the soil blocks that were not completely broken up during the previous land reclamation were crushed by the teeth of the rake, while others were crushed by the horizontal wooden edge of the rake.
Han Cheng worked very carefully on this piece of land. After his second brother drove the donkey to harrow the land back and forth several times, Han Cheng took a small rake and went over it several times, breaking up the soil clods as finely as possible and making the land flat.
The land is also mixed with sheep and donkey dung.
The reason why it has to be so meticulous is because Han Cheng is going to cultivate seedlings on this piece of land later.
This matter cannot be taken lightly at all, and no matter how careful you are, it is never too much.
After carefully preparing the land, the two half-jars of rice in the inner courtyard of Jinguan City had already swelled a lot...
