Chapter 240 Where did the dog tycoon come from (please vote and subscribe)
The location of the market is in the pasture west of the Han tribe city site. It is open and full of grassland. Only near the moat are some lacquer fields and vegetable fields cultivated.
This temporary market has no public facilities. Everyone can just choose a place to set up a stall. At this time, these trading teams have just arrived, and two ox carts have also driven out of the city of the Han tribe, loaded with goods and arrived at the pre-selected location.
More than 20 people moved on and off the carts, and soon put out pottery, sacks, buckets, farm tools, and white salt. The people who came to trade also immediately came forward to watch. Seeing so many exquisite goods, they even forgot the fatigue of many days of travel.
"Wow, is this pottery? Why is it different from the ones we saw at the Spring Fair before? It's so beautiful. If I can have one, I will definitely not want to use it." A person who had seen pottery at the Spring Fair before exclaimed.
"Well, yes, before, they were all earthy red, but now they are all white and shiny, with beautiful patterns on the outside. Hey? What are the paintings on them? They all look the same, but they are not the same when you look closely." The person next to him looked at the white ceramics and was soon attracted by the Chinese characters on them.
"I can't tell what they are painted on. I'm afraid that the Han tribe made the pottery so beautiful that it will be more expensive than before. If we can't afford it, what's the use of it being beautiful? We can only look at it here." The man said worriedly at first.
"It shouldn't be. Didn't you say last time that we can exchange without population? How expensive can it be without people?"
"That's right, but I don't know how much we can exchange with animal skins."
"I really don't know. Let's ask someone directly. Hey, I saw a brother who sold to the Han tribe at the Spring Fair. I'll go ask him."
As the two were talking, they soon saw a relative who sold to the Han tribe and hurriedly stepped forward to ask about the price.
"Big Head, is that you? I'm your brother Bangzi. Hehe, the Han tribe lets you sell things here. How much do you sell your pottery for? We're bringing animal skins this time. Don't make it too expensive, otherwise we won't be able to buy much." Bangzi stepped forward and grabbed Big Head who was carrying a bucket, asking him about the price.
"Hey, Bangzi brother, it's you who came this time. Our leader said that we are all friends in our tribe, and we know that it's not easy for other tribes to make stone basins. In addition, our leader has created a new tool, and it's easier to make pottery now than before, so we won't charge you a high price, and we guarantee that everyone can afford it.
For this kind of white porcelain bowl, you can exchange it for a complete mouse skin, rabbit skin or snake skin, and the pottery pot can be exchanged for a skin as big as a sheep or deer. If it's a bear skin or a tiger skin, you can exchange it for ten pottery pots, and a wolf skin can be exchanged for five pottery pots. How about it, it's not expensive, right?" Big Head introduced according to the price offered by Luo Chong.
"It's not expensive, but we have more mouse and rabbit skins. Bear and tiger skins are really hard to get. I don't know how many people will die if we kill one. We do have a few wolf skins."
"Bears and tigers are hard to kill, but don't forget that in the past, a pottery pot could be exchanged for a strong laborer. A bear skin can be exchanged for ten pottery pots. It's not expensive." Datou counted on his fingers to Bangzi.
"That's right, but we didn't bring that thing this time. Only six wolf skins are a little more expensive. They should be able to exchange for a lot of pottery. Come on, calculate how much you can get."
Bangzi untied a roll of animal skins from his back and pulled Datou to settle accounts with him.
Other tribal trading teams also found their relatives who sold to the Han tribe, and then asked about the price and traded goods.
Luo Chong was also at the stall in the market, personally receiving some of the leaders or witches who came here on their own. First, he answered their questions about planting, and second, he looked around to see if they had any strange things that the Han tribe needed. He also made a temporary estimate of the price of these things.
Right next to the Han tribe's stall, there was a rectangular solid wood table. On the table was a large ceramic teapot and several blue and white porcelain three-talent bowls with white background and light blue stripes. Luo Chong moved a chair and sat on one side. On the other side were two stools. At this time, the leader of the Xue tribe was sitting opposite him.
The two sat opposite each other, one holding a bowl of boiled water. After exchanging some techniques for planting rice, Luo Chong took two stones and placed them on the table. They were a piece of graphite and a piece of borax crystal bought from the Xue tribe during the Spring Festival.
"Leader of the Xue tribe, our Han tribe really needs these two kinds of stones from your tribe. At the next market, your Xue tribe can use these two kinds of stones directly instead of animal skins. For one basket of these stones, I will give you three pottery pots. How about that?"
Luo Chong pointed at the borax crystal and quoted a price. Borax is a good thing. It can effectively remove oxides on the surface of metals. It is very important for metal welding technology. Applying it to the places where two pieces need to be welded can make the two pieces of metal welded together better.
Although the Han tribe does not have the technology of metal welding now, it is also necessary to use this thing for iron forging. For example, when steel is folded and forged, it is best to sprinkle a little borax solvent on the part that needs to be folded, so that the steel can be better overlapped. Otherwise, if it is folded and forged directly, it is likely to crack from the folded part in the later use. It is a very important resource.
"That's no problem. It's great to be able to trade these stones with the Han tribe. To be honest, we don't have many animal skins in the Xue tribe. We can only take out so many for trading this time. But we still need a lot of good things from the Han tribe. I'll ask the tribesmen to start digging these two kinds of stones when I go back. Han leader, see which one you want more of." After hearing what Luo Chong said, the Xue leader immediately expressed his gratitude.
"Well, this stone is called borax in our Han tribe. If you can get it, get more. In addition, for this black graphite, just get one or two baskets for now. I'll tell you to collect more when you need it in the future."
Luo Chong thought about it. The Han tribe will soon be smelting metals on a large scale, so borax is more in demand. Graphite is not particularly in demand now, except for being a pigment.
"Okay, okay, I'll remember this kind of stone. I'll start asking the tribesmen to collect it when I go back."
Just as the two were discussing which kind of stone they needed to collect more, a tribe member who was selling goods on the street stall quarreled with a customer, and then the tribe member came to Luo Chong angrily to complain.
"Chief, there is a tribe we have never seen before. They brought a kind of deerskin and insisted on exchanging it for our two pottery pots
. I said no, but they were unwilling to do so. They also said that they came from a very far place and they must exchange things with us this time. In addition, they also wanted to exchange the deer horns for our white porcelain bowls." "A kind of deerskin, what kind of deerskin? Isn't it just one piece? Why another kind?" Luo Chong took a sip of boiled water and asked in confusion.
"Oh, they took a kind of deerskin, all of which are exactly the same, more than 100 pieces, and there are many horns." The tribesman explained.
Puff——
Luo Chong directly sprayed out a mouthful of boiled water. More than 100 identical deerskins, where the hell did this rich man come from.
