Chapter 75 Bargaining
It turns out that the person who came from the Wu tribe was the strong man who came last time.
Many of them even have familiar faces, either they came last time or they were members who attended the hunting conference.
When a group of Wu people saw Xu Chen, they immediately lost their spears and sticks and rushed up, and greeted Xu Chen and Wu Ga Wu Ga.
Wuga can only use it in very serious and formal occasions.
Because there are no words, Xu Chen cannot tell what it means.
However, after attending the Wu Zhu Conference, he speculated that the Wu might be a witch, and the Wu clan might be a witch clan. The more reasonable name should be the Youwu clan.
It means a tribe with witches.
And when he was calling Wu Ga around him, he probably regarded him as a witch.
Of course, these are all Xu Chen's guess, and there is no impact on whether he is a witch, because he has no interest at all.
There were more than 30 people from the Wu tribe this time, much more than last time. Almost everyone carried things with baskets on their backs. Many of them carried vine baskets, many of them also wore straw sandals, and some also learned that the Wu tribe people tied their hair behind their heads with thin ropes. The whole feeling was different from the last time they came.
This is the benefit of cultural communication and communication.
Xu Chen was very pleased.
Although it was just a simple gathering, under my own guidance, the savages from these primitive tribes around me also began to undergo obvious changes.
After the two groups of people met, they soon arrived at the foot of the mountain. A group of people couldn't wait to run directly into the kiln factory.
When they saw a row of sturdy stone houses and a fire kiln emitting thick smoke, the Wu people who had never been there suddenly made various sounds of howling ghosts and wolves, and were very excited.
Seeing the many burned pottery piled under the awning, the Wu people were even more excited and pointed at the pottery to exchange.
Of course, it is necessary to change it, but it is a customer from afar. The tribe's transaction is so big that it still needs to notify Muba first. So Xu Chen arranged for two hunters to go up the mountain to notify Muba, and then asked the Wu people to open all the goods they brought to check first.
The Wu people brought a lot of goods this time, but like the ones at the trading conference, they mainly have various animal skins, many dried nuts and fruits, some dried plant rhizomes, and many various messy ores.
There were roughly a hundred fur items, mostly deer-skinned and sheepskin, and more than a dozen cowhides, wolf skin, leopard skin, fox skin, etc. The most eye-catching of them is a tiger skin.
Wild deer and wild sheep are all small beasts and are easy to obtain. They are the most important source of meat and leather goods for the tribe. The cowhide is thick, but it cannot be used for clothes. It is relatively useless. There are much less wolf, leopard, fox skin, and it is not easy to hunt, but it is warmer and stronger, and naturally has much higher value.
As for the tiger skin, it's a bit scary.
Moreover, this tiger skin is very large, with a head and tail of three meters long. It is spread flat on the ground, covering several square meters. It is colorful and thick, with a thick smell of fishy smell and a heart-wrenching fear.
The so-called tiger's power is in power.
Even if they die, beasts like wolf, bear, tiger and leopard will carry a fierce aura, which makes people dare not get close to them.
Even if there is only this skin left in front of me, it is terrifying to see it.
Looking at this spread-out tiger skin, a group of men of the Ba tribe changed color and retreated. The Wu tribe finally had a chance to get back on the situation, and they all smiled proudly.
Xu Chen was both frightened and happy.
Such a large tiger skin, it is probably easy to get over the winter when you make it into a quilt. It is thick and almost the same as a thick blanket.
I squatted down and checked carefully and found that there were several holes in the tiger's skin, which were obviously killed. From this, it can be seen that the Wu tribe is indeed a very powerful tribe. If the Ba tribe encounters such a big tiger, it is estimated that the possibility of the group being destroyed is the greatest.
This tiger skin is undoubtedly the most expensive goods brought by the Wu tribe this time.
No one cared about the remaining baskets of various stones and poured them on the open space where the mud was dried in the kiln factory.
Driven by professional habits, Xu Chen still carefully pulled these piles of stones and carefully checked them.
The most of them are undoubtedly the chalcopy ore I changed last time, but this time there is also a green chalcopy ore.
Coppermine is a kind of mixed ore, which is a symbiotic polymeric ore such as brass, pyrite, galena, and chalcopy. It contains sulfide ore such as copper, iron, and lead. The composition is very complex, so the color is also very beautiful and colorful like a gem.
Primitive people collected the Chromium ore as pigments, and made the Chromium ore with richer pigments.
Therefore, this copper-spotted ore should also be picked up by the Wu people as decoration and pigment.
There are a lot of copper ore, and more than ten pieces were picked up. Xu Chen also found a piece of emerald green ore from it. After he carefully identified it, it should be malachite.
The main component of malachite is a basic copper carbonate, which generally coexists with other copper-containing minerals.
Therefore, Xu Chen concluded that these chalcopyramids, malachite and malachite should come from the same place.
In order to find out his speculation, he placed three kinds of ores together and communicated with the Wu people, which almost confirmed this speculation.
According to the Wu people, these three kinds of stones were indeed found in the same valley, almost half a day away from the valley where the Wu people live.
Malachite is already a genre of gems, and it is not cost-effective to smelify copper, so it is still good to stay as a souvenir.
In addition to these copper ores, some turquoise and amber gold were also found in them, which were piled together with colorful and eye-catching.
Especially gold, large and small, more than twenty yuan, and more than ten kilograms are added.
Xu Chen was very surprised. Is there a large gold mine nearby?
According to geological conditions, it is indeed easy to pick up gold in such high mountains and abundant water, but the premise is that there must be an ore deposit.
Now he has switched from three tribes to gold. According to the primitive people's activities, these golds must be within the area of their habitat for one or two days, which means that the farthest distance from the Ba people will not exceed thirty kilometers.
If it were said that before traveling through time, Xu Chen would suddenly encounter so many natural gold ore, and he would definitely be ecstatic to find the gold ore.
But at present, these golds are not only good-looking and heavy, but they are really useless.
There are still a few baskets of dried fruits and nuts and dried plant rhizomes, which are the most common foods.
After reading the goods brought by the Wu tribe, Xu Chen began to discuss with them what goods to replace.
Pottery is naturally the first choice of the Wu tribe. A group of people excitedly pointed at the cups, bowls, dishes and jars and jars placed under the awning, and gestured with great movements to show that they were all necessary.
It would be impossible.
It's the seller's market now.
It takes at least ten days to burn a kiln of pottery from mud to picking up firewood to burning kilns. And you have to keep watching the fire in the middle of the journey, so you must not be careless during the day and night, and you will be even more nervous when it rains.
Although these pottery is really not worthwhile, for the extremely low creativity and practical value of the primitive people, they cannot be simply measured by furry food stones.
Because fur, stone and food are everywhere, and pottery is the only one in the world, there is no semicolon.
In addition, it is not only the Wu tribe who wants to get pottery. The other four tribes must have been preparing supplies recently and have to come to exchange them, so Xu Chen cannot exchange them all for the Wu tribe.
However, since it was a business, Xu Chen would not refuse, but instead bargained with them and agreed to exchange equivalent items to provide a smooth channel for future transactions.
Of course, primitive people can't bargain purely in terms of language and price, they are all using things to show off each other.
The most important thing is that these primitive people don’t know how to count, and they don’t know how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, so this bargaining is particularly heartbreaking.
The other savage took out a piece of sheepskin, then pointed to the largest pottery jar and gestured: "Guangga!"
Xu Chen's face turned black, and a group of Ba people jumped together.
Looking at the angry emotions of the Ba people, the Wu people themselves knew it was too much, so they changed to a smaller pot and pointed at it.
"Beat!"
Seeing the Wu people so provoked, Feng and others could not control their anger and rolled up their sleeves and were about to hit someone.
"Go back!"
Xu Chen twitched his face and stopped Feng and others, then went to the pergola to take out a pottery bowl and put it on the sheepskin.
Now the Wu people stopped doing it, and they shook their heads and looked angry, and they even despised the pottery bowl too small.
These fur goods are already all the stock that the Wu tribe can take out.
The entire Wu tribe is divided into more than ten caves to live in. Men, women, old and young people are not clear. If you want to distribute it fairly, you must have it. According to the demonstration by the Ba tribe at this witch ceremony, clay pots are the best thing to use. The bigger the pots boiled, the more they cook, the more they can eat. Although the bowls are also very important, the more they need, they think that they can exchange fur goods for all pottery at one time.
Xu Chen naturally would not satisfy their wish easily.
Besides, the Ba people don’t have so many pottery to exchange for them.
Even if there is, Xu Chen would not do this, otherwise how can he do long-term business in the future after completing the transaction?
However, changing a piece of sheepskin to another pottery bowl is indeed a bit bullying.
Of course, from the current value, pottery should be more expensive than fur, but it has not reached the level of necessities. It is winter now, and the warmth value of fur is more urgent and important to the poor and poor primitive people who eat raw meat and sleep in the cave.
In other words, the Wu people did pay enough to exchange pottery and their attitude was very sincere.
So Xu Chen asked the potter to bring another pottery bowl and put it on the sheepskin.
"One Piga, change, two bowls!"
Xu Chen's face was very serious, and he raised one finger while raising two fingers.
"Mogamoga!"
A group of Wu people shook their heads collectively.
Chapter completed!
