Chapter 49 Visit
The people of the Riverside Tribe held a meeting, and finally everyone decided to exchange the technology of burning charcoal and metal smelting furnace with the people of the Jintuo Tribe.
Not to mention that these two technologies are not particularly difficult technologies. Even if they don’t exchange them now, other tribes may figure them out. By then, they will have no use for the technology. It is better to exchange them now and exchange them for a batch of metal blocks.
If they can exchange a large number of metal blocks and make various metal tools in the future, no one should doubt whether they have other ways to get metal.
They can fool people on the surface.
Everyone thought it made sense, so they agreed to it.
After the meeting results came out, the young people in the tribe volunteered to negotiate with the people of the Jintuo Tribe.
Wu Jiong agreed, and even specially led Dejiang and his team to train the young people several times, and then Ban Ming led the team and set off with his companions.
The young people were gone for several days, and the people in the tribe didn't take it seriously, and continued to do what they had to do.
Jian Mo counted the days, and seeing that the young people had not returned for a long time, he asked Wu Jiong worriedly: "It's been six or seven days, when will they come back?"
Wu Jiong: "Maybe something happened, so they stayed in the Jintuo tribe for a few days. If they don't come back after ten days, I'll take people to check it out."
Wu Jiong patted Jian Mo on the shoulder: "They are all mature orcs, don't worry."
Jian Mo told the truth: "I suggested exchanging metal blocks with the people of the Jintuo tribe. If something happened to them on the way, I would feel a little guilty."
Wu Jiong: "Don't feel guilty, it's all for the tribe. They are all strong young orcs. If something really happens, someone will definitely come back to report it."
Wu Jiong knew the orcs in the tribe very well.
He said it was okay, and Ban Ming and his friends were indeed fine, they were just traveling slowly.
Ban Ming and his friends were also a little helpless, as they had set out from the Jintuo tribe several days ago, carrying metal blocks and rushing to the Riverside tribe.
Because the orcs of the Jintuo tribe were not good at running, they traveled very slowly every day, probably only one-fifth of the speed of the orcs of the Riverside tribe.
In order to accompany the orcs of the Jintuo tribe, Ban Ming and his friends had to slow down.
To be honest, they had never run so slowly since they were young, and it felt like their tempers had been worn down.
To them, it would be better for them to work harder and go back to the tribe directly to bring people to the Jintuo tribe to trade, so as to save the people of the Jintuo tribe from making the trip.
Unfortunately, the people of the Jintuo tribe insisted on seeing the Riverside tribe, and they would not agree no matter what.
That evening, after a day's journey, they finally decided to stop and rest in a sheltered place.
The beastmen from the two tribes divided the work and went hunting.
The Banming tribe mainly hunted prey on land, while the people from the Kintuo tribe mainly hunted prey in the river.
When they came back from hunting, the people from the two tribes put the food into a large clay pot and started to cook over a bonfire. After
a day's journey and hunting, everyone was very tired and sat by the bonfire unwilling to move.
The chief of the Jintuo tribe, Jin Shi, smelled the aroma coming from the big pottery pot: "The seasoning powder in your tribe is really fragrant. Let's change some when we come back."
Ban Ming was a little proud: "Brother Jian Mo gave it to us. He said that we might not eat well on the road, so he specially prepared a bag of seasoning powder for us. Whether it's grilling or boiling meat, just sprinkle it in it."
Jin Shi: "Doctor Jian Mo is really amazing."
If Ban Ming was in beast form now, his tail would be wagging. He suppressed his pride. He nodded, and politely praised the people of the Jintuo tribe: "Your big pottery pot is also good, light and hard, and it doesn't leak."
Jinshi: "This was exchanged for us by the people of the Tianning tribe. Their tribe is good at making pottery, and it is considered the best pottery tribe among all the nearby tribes."
This time it was Ban Ming's turn to be envious: "It's great that you have metal blocks. You can exchange them for any good things you want."
Everyone finished dinner around the pottery pot and soon went to the side to rest.
The next day, everyone continued to hurry and soon entered the territory of the Riverside Tribe. After
being out for so long, they finally returned to the tribe. Ban Ming was very excited and led the way in front, not paying much attention to the people of the Jintuo tribe behind. After
finally seeing the buildings of the Riverside Tribe, Ban Ming and his friends ran towards the tribe screaming.
The patrolling beastmen in the tribe also howled in response.
The people of the Jintuo tribe watched from behind with shocked expressions, and whispered to each other:
"Chief, didn't they say that the Riverside Tribe was made entirely of stone? How come it looks so clean and tidy?"
"Their houses are so beautiful."
"Their people look different from what I imagined. They said before that it's cold here, and there's not much food in winter. They can only eat frozen meat, and their ribs are protruding from hunger."
"I see that they are all full of energy, and they don't seem to be hungry."
"Ban Ming's characters don't look like they've been hungry."
Seeing that they were getting more and more outrageous, Jin Shi stopped them in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking, people will hear it."
An orc next to him muttered: "It's just curiosity. It's not something unpleasant. It doesn't matter if you say it in front of them."
Jin Shi: "Let's discuss it when we get back!"
While they were chatting, Wu Jiong had already welcomed people out.
The orcs of the Jintuo tribe have huge beast forms, which are larger than the beast forms of the orcs of the Riverside tribe.
In order to take care of Jin Shi and his friends who are still in beast form, Wu Jiong and his friends also changed back to beast form.
The two teams of giant beasts met in the mountains and forests, making the mountains and forests look shorter. Wu Jiong spoke first: "Chief Jinshi, long time no see
, welcome." Jinshi smiled and said, "It's been a while since we last met. Our two tribes are so far apart, it's not easy to come to your place." Wu Jiong: "It's good once you get used to it, we'll communicate more in the future." The giant wolves and cats led a team of dinosaur-like giant beasts into the Riverside Tribe. The people of the Jintuo Tribe looked at it from a distance and thought that the Riverside Tribe was particularly clean and tidy. After entering, they found that it was not only clean and tidy, but also exquisite and beautiful. The roads in the Riverside Tribe are very wide, the houses are very neat, and most of the houses are built against the mountain, which looks very beautiful.
People also had smiles and curiosity on their faces, which was very relaxing to watch.
When they arrived at the open space of the tribe, Wu Jiong asked the people of the Jintuo tribe to take off the metal blocks on their bodies and took them to rest.
He asked them to rest first and come out for dinner later.
In order to welcome the arrival of the people of the Jintuo tribe, the Riverside Tribe specially vacated several houses. The houses had been cleaned and covered with warm animal skin mats, and charcoal fires were also put in.
The people of the Jintuo tribe felt warm as spring as soon as they entered, and when they lay on the prepared animal skin mats, they felt as if they were lying on clouds.
"Chief, come and lie down with us. Their animal skin mats are really comfortable."
"There is also a faint fragrance, like the fragrance of grass."
"Hey, they put dry grass under the animal skins. I was wondering why it was so soft?"
"It is indeed very comfortable. Otherwise, let's put dry grass under the animal skins after we go back. It is soft and moisture-proof."
"Do you smell the fragrance of their food? It smells so good. My stomach is growling."
"Drink some water first. Let me see. It seems that they have prepared tea for us."
There were two large pottery pots filled with tea in the house, and a pile of pottery bowls next to them.
One beastman couldn't lie down anymore, so he got up, took a bowl and poured a bowl of water, and soon smelled the sweet aroma in the bowl.
He took a sip and was instantly captivated by the sweet taste: "Sweet! Very sweet!"
The other orcs quickly got up:
"Let me try it."
"It's really sweet, with a hint of fragrance."
"Where's the other can? Let me try the other can."
"The can next to it seems to be water. Maybe they are afraid that we are not used to drinking sugar water, so they specially prepared it for us."
"Who would not be used to drinking sugar water? Sugar water is such a good thing."
"Give me another bowl!"
"The can is almost empty, I'll ask them for another can."
"Come back! Don't embarrass yourself!"
While the people of the Jintuo tribe were chatting in a low voice,
Jian Mo and the others were also chatting in a low voice on the other side.
Jian Mo: "There are actually two hundred baskets of metal blocks! This is too much."
Jian Mo looked at the metal blocks neatly piled outside, his heart pounding.
Two hundred baskets! So many metal blocks, enough for the Riverside Tribe to use for several years!
Wu Jiong said: "The people of the Jintuo Tribe control the mines. These metal blocks are just their harvest in this period of time. For them, it is nothing big. In exchange for technology upgrades, it is a very calculated thing."
Jian Mo heard what Wu Jiong said, looked at the metal blocks again, and sighed: "I am really not cut out for business."
He didn't dare to ask for so much.
Wu Jiong: "It's not certain that the deal will be successful. If it fails, they might just carry the metal block back."
Jian Mo thought for a moment and said, "They've already carried it back, which means they are very willing to exchange technology. Normally, the deal should be successful."
Qing Kuang came over and said, "Let's show them our daggers later. Do you have the daggers with you?"
Jian Mo was startled. When he came to his senses and found that it was Qing Kuang, he nodded and took out the dagger to show Qing Kuang, "I have this This is the first dagger, and the daggers made later will be better. "
Qing Kuang: "It's okay, yours is also very good. When the meat is roasted later, remember to take out the dagger and slice the meat."
Jian Mo: "I know, I will definitely show it hard under their noses."
Qing Kuang patted his shoulder: "Yes, show it hard."
The people of the Riverside Tribe decided to show the people of the Jintuo Tribe their strength, and they moved part of the charcoal fire to roast the meat.
When dinner was ready, the whole tribe was filled with the aroma of food.
Everyone also moved wine to the side, preparing to let the people of the Jintuo Tribe not leave until they are drunk.
In order to take care of these guests who came from afar, Jian Mo also contributed a pot of snow fruit wine from his home.
When the people of the Jintuo Tribe came to the campfire, all the people of the Riverside Tribe, young and old, warmly invited them to sit down and served them various foods.
Some people even took out knives to slice meat for them.
Most of the previous batch of knives were made of ore, and Qing Kuang specifically instructed some people to keep them and only keep some people to show them.
Therefore, the people of the Jintuo tribe saw their best knives.
No one can refuse a metal knife of excellent quality, and the people of the Jintuo tribe, which is rich in metal, can't refuse it even more.
Jin Shi, who had always been very calm, asked Ban Ming: "Can I see your knives?"
"Of course." Ban Ming, who had received the order, pretended to be generous and handed the knife over, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "This is our metal-making technology."
Jin Shi took the heavy metal knife in his hand and carefully examined it: "Why didn't you take the knife out?"
Ban Ming told the truth: "The knife is too expensive. My father was afraid that I would show off with it, so he asked me to keep it at home."
Jin Shi gently turned the knife, and the bright blade reflected the firelight, with brilliant colors.
He took out his own knife from his arms.
They were all metal knives, but his knife was a little gray, not as heavy as Ban Ming's knife, the blade was not as bright as Ban Ming's knife, and the hardness was also much inferior.
Their metal is indeed inferior to that of the Riverside Tribe.
When Jinshi was playing with his knife, Jian Mo handed his knife to him: "My knife is the first knife we made here. Ban Ming and his were made later, and the skills of the later ones are better."
Jinshi looked up: "Doctor Jian Mo."
Jian Mo smiled: "Thank you for coming all the way here. Welcome you."
Jinshi: "Chief Wu Jiong has already welcomed you."
Jian Mo: "Then I will welcome you again. If we can make a deal, I will welcome you even more."
Jinshi also smiled: "I also hope that our trip will not be in vain."
