Chapter 1132 Ye Ying's Trickster Operation (Part 1)
Hearing the leader's words, everyone was eager to try.
They were too ignorant. Many people had never seen people from other tribes a few times in their lives, let alone this strange tribe had so many good things.
The young leader quickly brought his people to the shore and took a closer look at the boat, only then could he see the other party's dress clearly.
The Han tribe members on the boat were all young and strong men, and there were no women. They tied their hair on top of their heads, wore cotton clothes, and even had cotton pants on their legs. They were all wearing leather boots. I don't know why these people are so rich.
The young leader complained sourly in his heart, and then he stepped forward and asked Shi Quan on the boat.
"Are you here to trade? What do you want to exchange for these things you just took?"
Although the two sides did not speak the same language, Shi Quan still understood the other party's intention after seeing the other party's reaction. He immediately asked someone to take a board to the shore, and asked the team members of his small flag to go ashore with him with various goods.
A soldier with a small flag did not walk far to the shore, and set up a stall by the river. There were
pots and pans of all sizes, buckets made of tin sheets, iron pots and iron spoons, pure salt sealed in wooden barrels, complete sheepskins, felt on the grassland, and many other tools, but the other party might not be able to use them.
For example, shovels, they don't farm or dig soil, what use is there for shovels?
Knives and other things are what they need most.
A hatchet can be used to open a path in the jungle, cut wood to make tools, and can also be used as a melee weapon. A military shovel can be used as an axe to chop things and can also be used to dig plant roots, which is very practical.
There are more other small items, such as fire knives and flints, which are similar to steel knives and magnesium rods, and are specially used for making fire.
Of course, with the current technology of the Han tribe, even kerosene lighters can be made, but no one smokes, so lighters are not very useful.
The tribesmen of the small tribe were panicked when they saw so many people suddenly coming down from the boat. But when they saw that the Han tribe did not attack them, nor did they run far to the shore, but just put things on the ground, they felt relieved.
After Shiquan put all the things away, the leader of the small tribe brought the two people to look closer.
Shiquan opened a wooden barrel, which was full of white salt, which stunned them.
"This, white salt, do you want it? Just a child can exchange for such a big bowl!"
Shiquan saw them coming and immediately started to sell them goods.
"And this, a hatchet, an engineer shovel, these are all made of steel. Look, this knife is so sharp, it can easily cut off branches!" As Shiquan said, he picked up the hatchet to cut the bushes beside him. Sure enough, he could cut off the bushes with one knife, which immediately shocked the small tribe members in front of him!
Oh my God, what kind of weapon is this, it's so sharp!
"There are also these pots, pans, and bowls. This one is for drinking water and eating, this one is for cooking meat, stewing soup, and boiling water. This one is a metal bucket for holding water, and there is also this iron pot. This iron pot is relatively large. If your population is small, one pot is enough for the entire tribe."
Shi Quan was introducing the goods eloquently, but the other party didn't understand at all. But it didn't matter if they didn't understand, they would watch, and after Shi Quan demonstrated it to them, they immediately understood the purpose of these things, so several people immediately started discussing in a low voice.
"Chief, this thing called a knife is good. With this, no matter how ferocious the beast is, it can't withstand my knife."
The young chief glanced at him with contempt and scolded, "Are you stupid? You use this thing to hunt? This thing called a knife is so short, are you going to rush up and fight with the beast with it?"
Another person also joined in, "Yes, our bamboo spears are good things. The bamboo spears are so long that we can kill the prey from a distance. The most important thing is that we are not easily injured. If we get injured in order to catch prey, it is not worth it. We will die too."
Hearing everyone say this, the man just put down the hatchet reluctantly and turned to look at other things.
At this moment, Shiquan was introducing the use of flint. He put some tinder and hay together, and knocked the flint in his hand back and forth a few times. The sparks on it immediately ignited a bright fire on the hay. With some picked up branches, the flames suddenly burned fiercely.
After the fire was lit, some team members went to the lakeside to fetch some large stones, placed them in a circle around the fire, and then placed the iron pot on top. Someone else used a tin bucket to fetch water from the lake and poured it directly into the pot. Some people cut sausages into the pot, some people peeled potatoes into it, and some were washing rice by the lake with bamboo baskets. After the rice was washed, they threw it into the pot, preparing to cook a pot of bacon porridge to drink. It was also a way to show the other party the uses of these things.
A group of people were stunned, staring at the food in the pot and drooling. Someone suddenly asked, "Chief, that thing on the fire is great. Should we exchange it for another one? It can hold water and cook meat. It is much more useful than grilling it. The key is that we can drink hot water."
"Drink hot water? What do you drink from? Do you have their bowl? If we change the pot, do we have to change the bowl as well? Do you have anything to exchange?"
The young chief cursed a few times and then came to Shiquan. He had already thought about what to exchange. Their tribe had everything they needed, and the most lacking thing was food.
Of course, exchanging food is a stupid act. Even if there is no Han tribe, as long as the people of their tribe are still alive, they can always find a way to get food.
As for this tribe coming from the water, who knows if they will meet them in the future. While the Han tribe is still here, it is best to quickly exchange some things that their tribe needs very much but cannot get.
"I want this iron pot, spoon, hatchet, and this bowl, that's all. What do you need to exchange?"
The iron pot can be used for cooking and holding water. It has many uses. And as Shi Quan said, if the population of the tribe is not large, everyone can share an iron pot. The spoon is matched with the pot, and the hatchet has many uses. It can do anything, especially for making tools such as wood. To be honest, the little chief doesn't want the last bowl, but if he doesn't have it, he can't eat, which is really inconvenient.
Seeing that the man has already selected the goods, Shi Quan immediately smiled and started to quote.
"Two people are needed to exchange this iron pot and spoon! One person is needed for a hatchet, and one person is needed for five bowls. How many do you want?!"
"So many people?" The leader was a little surprised, but soon he found a loophole. He found that Shiquan only gestured to exchange for people, but did not say how old the people were, nor did he say whether they were men or women. Doesn't this give him a lot of room for maneuver?
Thinking of this, he asked again with concern, "Anyone is fine? Men or women, adults or children?"
Shiquan nodded very happily, "All is fine!"
This immediately made the men of this small tribe very happy. These magical and exquisite goods in front of them were so 'cheap'? !
The young leader immediately smiled and waved to the people around him, "Quick, go and call everyone in our tribe over, I want to pick a few people to exchange things with them!"
"Oh, oh, I'll go right away."
A young and strong man immediately ran back. In less than ten minutes, he brought a group of young and strong men, women and children. Together with the young and strong men of the hunting team who were originally by the lake, there were more than 160 people in total. This population size was already quite large.
After everyone arrived, the young leader spoke.
"A tribe has come to the big lake in the sunset land. They want to exchange things with us, but we can only exchange things with them in exchange for people, so I want to pick some people now to exchange some of the things we need with them.
"Don't be afraid if you are picked, these people have everything, and they eat better than us. They have a lot of food, and you will definitely not be hungry if you follow them. "
After he finished shouting, the fear in everyone's eyes faded a little.
Being taken away by the leader to exchange things?
If you are exchanged to a cannibalistic tribe, you might as well die directly.
But if it is a tribe where everyone has clothes to wear and food to eat, it is another matter.
Many people stood in the crowd and looked at the Han tribe members by the lake from a distance. They were dressed strangely. Although they didn't know what they were wearing, they would definitely not be cold.
The meat porridge bubbling in the big iron pot by the lake was almost making them salivate. There was
also a big boat floating on the lake. Although they didn't know what it was or what it was called, they could see that it should be a means of transportation that could travel on the water.
Even if these people were stupid, based on the things in front of them, they could understand that this tribe No matter how powerful they are, at least they will have enough food and clothes.
Seeing this scene in front of them, many tribesmen even quietly moved forward, hoping that they could be selected by their own leaders and exchanged, or be favored by the tribe from the big lake and taken away by them.
The feeling of having no food in winter, being hungry and unable to sleep every day, and having a sour feeling in the stomach, it is simply too uncomfortable.
However, the young leader of this tribe had already made plans. The first people he picked were the girls and girls born in his own tribe.
Even if these girls and girls grow up, they can only marry to other tribes and cannot stay in their own tribe, otherwise they will give birth to fools.
Instead of wasting food to raise them in vain, it is better to exchange them now, just as if these girls and girls were married off in advance.
"You, you, and you, come with me."
The young leader quickly scanned the faces of the tribesmen and picked out more than a dozen underage girls from the crowd.
