Chapter 117 Large-Amount Transactions (Please add to collection and recommend)
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "buyers are not as smart as sellers", and Luo Chong is no exception. In fact, his bottom price in his mind is three catties of salt, but he will not directly quote the bottom price when selling things, leaving room for the other party to bargain.
Although Luo Chong did not add a large pottery bowl to him, he also gave a lot more on the basis of the original. This made Chief Ya feel that Luo Chong gave him face. He looked at the white salt in the pottery pot and thought that he must buy more. The other chiefs had not spoken at this time. It would be bad if someone snatched it from him later.
Chief Ya thought about it. There were more than 200 people in his tribe, and there were 17 boys brought out this time alone. So he gritted his teeth and stretched out two palms, "I want white salt for ten people."
Ten people's white salt, 30 catties, when it is brought back to the tribe, people who work more can eat more, and children who don't work much can eat a little every few days, so that they can eat for a longer period of time.
"Okay, but you have to bring a bag yourself. I have nothing to put in it for you."
Luo Chong nodded, and held up the bowl to indicate that there was no place to put it, so he asked them to bring their own bags.
The Ya chieftain turned around and said a few words to a soldier beside him. The soldier ran away quickly, and soon brought ten teenagers with animal tooth earrings and two python skin bags.
Luo Chong personally filled the salt for him. Every time he filled a bowl, the Ya chieftain was careful to grab another handful and put it on the bowl. Only when there was no more room did he pour it into the bag, which made Luo Chong, who was filling the salt, laugh and cry.
The white salt was put into the bag bowl by bowl, and the ten teenagers stood behind Luo Chong one by one. Seeing that the salt in the pot was about to run out, the leaders of other tribes around could not stay any longer.
Chief Fei Shi: "Do you have any more white salt? I want enough for 15 people."
Chief Ao: "We want ten too. You lost. Go back and get people to bring bags, otherwise it will be gone."
Chief Cha, who had been standing aside and watching for a long time, also stood up. Their Cha tribe made a living by fishing. They had enough food and a large number of people, more than 400. Seeing that others were exchanging people for salt, he did not show any weakness. He asked for white salt for twenty people and gestured to Luo Chong twice with his two palms stretched out.
Even the Pearl Tribe, which had fewer people, asked for a handful of salt. "We need salt for five people. Leave some for us. You two go back and get a bag."
Luo Chong looked at them, one by one, shoving their heads together and counting the number with his fingers. He laughed and shouted, "Don't worry. We have it all. You all have it all. Go and bring the people here. One person gets a bowl of salt. No cheating."
Hahaha, I'm rich. Hahaha,
Luo Chong was laughing wildly in his heart, but he had not lost his reason. He turned around and whispered a few words to the beast tooth
beside him. The beast tooth nodded, turned back and explained to a few old warriors, and then brought two people to move two large wooden barrels filled with salt. Dali brought ten young men from the Han tribe, holding bronze spears to guard Luo Chong and the stall. Du'er brought another ten people to guard the ox cart and livestock. Feather, Stone and Stump were responsible for receiving new people and tying their hair with hemp ropes on the spot to distinguish them from other tribes.
Seeing that the white salt in the pottery pot at the stall was bought up by the Ya tribe, the leaders of the other tribes were very anxious. They were afraid that the white salt would be gone, and they shouted to their tribesmen, urging them to hurry up.
But in the blink of an eye, they saw someone carrying two large round wooden barrels from behind Luo Chong, and there were several more guards holding spears around.
Luo Chong rolled the half-full barrel of white salt to the front of the stall, smashed the wooden pegs on it with a mallet, and showed them the remaining half barrel of salt. The
leaders around were all surprised when they saw this round wooden barrel. It was the first time they saw such a large, exquisite and round container, and it had a lid and could be locked. This thing was so advanced!
When they saw Luo Chong pouring another basin of white salt from the big barrel, they were relieved and began to trade with Luo Chong.
One by one, the boys were tied up and stood behind Luo Chong. Luo Chong's half barrel of salt was soon empty, so he opened another full barrel to fill it for them.
More and more people came here, many of them ran to the Han tribe's stall, including the tribal leaders who had not come just now.
The transactions here were really too attractive. During the entire Spring Festival, even if there were transactions, people rarely traded people, and there had never been a large transaction that could trade so many people at once. What kind of treasure was this that made so many people rush to buy it?
Several leaders came up and saw Luo Chong filling them with white salt. One bowl could be exchanged for one person, and they asked their own tribesmen standing around what it was.
"Chief, that's called white salt, it's salty and edible, their tribe uses that bowl of white salt to exchange for one person."
"Oh? Really?" The Tiger Tribe leader was surprised to hear his warrior's words.
Then several leaders squeezed to the front. Luo Chong saw so many customers coming, so he was not afraid. He immediately greeted them with a smile and pinched a little white salt for each of them to taste.
After several people had tasted the white salt and learned about the price of white salt, they also called their tribesmen to come over to trade. The minimum number was 5, and the maximum number was even 20. For a while, the stall of the Han tribe became the center of the entire spring meeting. Even some girls who originally wanted to flirt with the little brothers came around, because the Han tribe had the most men.
But soon, a special situation occurred. A fire chief with a naked upper body and a flame totem on his chest with burn scars came to Luo Chong. He first looked at the people of the Han tribe, then looked at the things of the Han tribe, and finally took out 30 teenagers to trade white salt. Thirty, that is all the boys brought by the Fire Tribe this time. The remaining ten in their tribe are all strong warriors.
Haha, you have a lot of people, you are really willing to spend money.
However, Luo Chong did not refuse anyone. There was no reason not to refuse the hard work that came to his door. He accepted it all and took out the same amount of white salt as others to exchange with the Fire Tribe.
After trading like this for several hours, the trade of white salt was finally concluded. The main reason was that no one could afford to send people. Of the 18 tribes that came to the Spring Festival, except for the Han tribe itself, the other 17 tribes all traded with Luo Chong.
Each tribe had as few as 5 people and as many as 30 people. On average, each tribe sent more than 10 people. Excluding the Bian tribe that had traded with Luo Chong before, the other 16 tribes had a total of 195 young men for Luo Chong. Together with the 20 people from the Bian tribe, the number of people had reached an exaggerated 215, while the Han tribe only spent a few hundred kilograms of salt. But that was not the end.
Due to the Han tribe's crazy buying of people, the main purpose of this Spring Festival was directly disrupted. A large number of boys were bought by the Han tribe, resulting in many girls having no one to choose from, and finally they could only come to the Han tribe to choose a man.
Especially before the transaction, some boys and girls had already completed the mate selection process, and then were traded to the Han tribe, so those girls who found their own belonging had to follow their men to join the Han tribe.
At this time, some leaders were not happy. The Han tribe had taken too much advantage. A bowl of white salt not only exchanged for a boy, but also kidnapped one or two girls. How could this be acceptable? So they asked for compensation.
Luo Chong was not stingy. He directly compensated them according to the previous marriage proposal gift. For each girl from the Han tribe who married, he would give her a small pottery bowl and half a bowl of white salt in return. The leaders were satisfied. However
, some leaders did not want the small pottery bowl, so they made other requests to Luo Chong.
