MTL - Be a Leader In a Primitive Tribe-Chapter 53
Sang Yu and the others took Si Ya to the market.
After all, it was the second time I came here, and finally I didn't feel uneasy the last time, and this time I seemed to be a veteran.
Of course, the products they brought to exchange this time are no longer secretive, namely refined salt and pottery.
As soon as these things were put up, it attracted the attention of all other tribes.
No one has ever seen such fine and fine salt, as white as snow.
The onlookers were so surprised that they could stuff two eggs into their mouths.
The pottery next to it is smooth and exquisite. It is better than any other tribe.
And there are many shapes, such as three-legged pottery tripods, pottery pots and pots, and pottery bowls, you can put anything you want.
Such goods might be coveted in other tribes, but when they heard that they belonged to the Phoenix tribe, those who harbored evil intentions were immediately discouraged.
"Didn't you hear that the Eagle Tribe kidnapped two hundred people from the Bird Tribe as slaves, and they were all snatched back by the Phoenix Tribe, and people from other tribes were also taken away."
"Only 30 people were used. How powerful are you?"
"I can't believe it, I can't believe it!"
"I heard that they have divine beasts?"
"That's right, it's said that the ground trembles three times when the divine beast roars."
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's terrible."
"Later, the people of the Eagle Tribe refused to accept it. Taking advantage of the snow, they took four hundred people to take revenge."
"Four hundred people, that's too many people, our tribe only has thirty people."
"Did you win the fight later?"
"I don't think we can win. Even with the rescued slaves, the Phoenix Tribe has less than 300 people. How can they beat those tough and vicious Eagle Tribes!"
"Yes, the Eagle Tribe has never lost on this continent. I think they will definitely attack the Rock Tribe in a few years."
"No, no, no, you are all wrong. The Eagle Tribe did not win. All the people who went there did not come back. They all died. No one from the Phoenix Tribe stayed behind for them."
"Impossible? This is too powerful."
The people around were stunned.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Our tribe was short of food. Even when it snowed, we came out to look for food. When the Eagle Tribe passed by, I followed up secretly. I climbed to the top of the mountain and took a look. It was terrible. None of the Eagle Tribe survived. , all the corpses were thrown into the pit and burned."
"The Eagle Tribe deserved to die a long time ago. It's hard for them to live in the surrounding tribes."
"Yes, the Phoenix Tribe did a great job."
"That's how you should deal with them when you deliver them to your door."
"Do you think the Phoenix tribe will come to fight other tribes?"
"We don't know either. I heard that their leader is a woman. Look, that's the woman sitting there who is shining white, that's her."
"I saw her last year. She looks really good-looking. I didn't expect to be able to lead the tribe so well."
"Hey, I just talked to Miao from their tribe. She said that their leader was sent by the gods. I don't know if it's true."
"Looking at that appearance, I really look like a god."
"Have you ever seen a god, just say like it."
"I haven't seen it before, but the **** I dreamed of looks like this."
"It turns out that a woman can develop so well as a leader. Looking at the salt and pottery, they seem to have been brought down from the sky."
"I exchanged seeds with her last year. I didn't use any tricks. I gave as much as I wanted. It doesn't look like a bad one."
"Yeah, last year she was at the foot of the mountain." At that time, I saw that she was familiar with the young leader of the Rock Tribe. The Rock Tribe never attacked other tribes. If she was a bad one, Ya wouldn't get close to her. "
The onlookers around talked a lot, but Sang Yu didn't show any abnormality, just sat there openly and let everyone look at her.
It's just a pity that the Rock Tribe didn't bring anyone to the fair this year, and Ya hasn't been seen.
Sang Yu felt quite sorry for finally getting to know such a bright and comfortable woman.
But when he didn't come, she had nowhere to ask, so she could only focus on the exchange.
The purpose of coming this time is also to exchange seeds and other things that may be needed. Sang Yu does not dare to expect to see bronze or iron products at this fair.
Of course, she is not too willing to see all kinds of metal products here. Because once these things appear in this place, it means that some tribes have mastered the development of mineral resources, and various more powerful weapons will be produced in the next step. As a result, the current situation of this continent will undergo earth-shaking changes.
Of course, she herself is also sparing no effort to find these mineral resources.
Someone will come to trade soon.
Last year some people remembered that the Phoenix tribe's favorite thing was seeds. So when Sangyu and the others had just set up the stall, someone recognized her and couldn't wait to exchange some seeds for pottery.
Seed Sangyu has always been open to anyone who comes. But most of the seeds I got this time were some wild vegetable seeds, and I took them back to the tribe for cultivation, and there was another option on the big guy's menu.
In the afternoon, when Sang Yu and Yu were walking around the market, they found that a person appeared here leading a calf.
Sang Yu couldn't help but be overjoyed, the most lacking thing in the tribe is cattle.
It is not just that the future farmland will need cattle. For example, the best material for their current bowstrings is cowhide. They have been replaced by other materials all the time, and these effects are far less good than cowhide.
Seeing this calf now, she walked up without saying a word, and asked how the calf's head was going to be exchanged.
But who knew that the man said that this calf was not for exchange, it was their ration.
Sang Yu immediately put the jerky that he brought on the road in front of him and said, "I'll exchange it with you for jerky and pottery."
The man clearly disagreed.
Sang Yu broke off a piece of jerky and handed it to him, "You eat it first, and then decide whether you want to change it or not. It doesn't matter if you don't want to change it, this one is for you to eat."
The man didn't intend to change it at first, but he thought that this piece of jerky was free. So he took it bluntly, and he wanted to see what kind of jerky it was that made this woman so confident that she could change her mind.
The man gave half of the dried meat to his companion, and then put the jerky into his mouth. Unexpectedly, the expression of disapproval on his face changed instantly after he chewed it twice.
It was an unbelievable surprise.
He didn't expect that the jerky he ate would be so delicious, and there was salt in it, which smelled delicious, chewy, and tasted particularly good.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most delicious jerky he has ever eaten since he grew up.
Sang Yu's expression when she saw him was the one she expected.
The jerky of the Phoenix Tribe is of course the most delicious jerky in the world. Most of these jerky are made of venison. There are many deer on this continent, and the hunting team's traps catch the most deer.
Under her guidance, Yuan first marinated the jerky with salt and ginger, cooked it, then smeared it with seasoning, and finally air-dried it. This kind of jerky is already of high quality in modern times. , let alone in this poor and backward primitive society.
Sang Yu took out another clay bowl from her basket and handed it to them.
"Everyone in the market knows how to make pottery, and our Phoenix Tribe makes the best pottery. Our pottery is not cracked, the inside of the bowl is very smooth, and the patterns on the side are also very beautiful."
The man has also visited the entire market, and of course he knows that the pottery of the Phoenix Tribe is the best. Before that, he thought that if possible, he would like to exchange a few pottery pots back home, but I heard that the Phoenix Tribe only accepts seeds and does not exchange other ones. .
So I had no choice but to give up, but I didn't expect that the people of this tribe actually came here in person, just for the little calf in front of them.
The rations don't necessarily have to be calves. Seeing such delicious jerky and such beautiful clay pots and bowls, the man's heart was obviously moved.
But he still asked with some doubts: "What do you want this little calf to go back to do? Is it to make such delicious jerky?"
For some small tribes, if the weather is hot and they hunt a large prey, if they can’t eat it all at once, it will go bad, even if it is dried in time.
But there will still be a bad smell, so once they hunt a huge animal, they will be happy but also regretful.
Of course, Sang Yu would not tell the truth, she smiled and said: "We are tired of eating dried meat, we want to eat fresh."
"Our tribe has a lot of people, no matter how big the prey is, we can finish it."
As soon as she said this, the man was slightly taken aback. He didn't know much about the details of the Phoenix tribe. But they were able to produce such good pottery, which shows that the strength behind them must not be underestimated.
Moreover, I heard that the Eagle Tribe suffered disaster, which has a lot to do with the Phoenix Tribe. Telling this woman now, and saying that there are many people in their tribe, this makes the man a little scared.
He didn't want to offend a powerful tribe. So without waiting for Sang Yu to speak, he agreed to the exchange directly.
When Ke carried the pottery back, he didn't even dare to take more pottery bowls. In the end, Sang Yu gave him two more pots, which made him a little flattered.
Sang Yu said: "You don't have to worry, we are a friendly tribe, and we won't bully others casually."
The man did not dare to refute, and repeatedly said yes.
The role of a calf just now is not very important to the entire Phoenix tribe. The most important thing is to find other cows to raise in captivity, and then slowly reproduce.
"Where did you find this little calf. If you can find others, our tribe has more pottery and jerky to exchange with you. If you send more cattle to our tribe, we will give You return more jerky and pottery."
The man couldn't believe it and said: "Really?"
He was a little afraid that these big tribes would not keep their promises.
Hearing his question, Sang Yu felt that he might still find a few cows, and hurriedly said: "We are a tribe that is very honest and keep what we say, what do you need to guarantee. But today the people from the Rock tribe did not come, Otherwise, I can ask Ya to guarantee it for me."
After finishing speaking, he remembered that he still had salt in his back this time, so he hurriedly asked Yu to carry the pannier on his back, grabbed a handful and put it in the man's hand, saying, "We still have this."
When the man saw the white granular shape, he was overjoyed.
This is salt, white salt, this salt is much more delicate than what they exchanged with Triangle Tribe.
He picked up one and put it in his mouth, the pure salty taste spread on the tip of his tongue, without any bitterness.
There are many small stones in the salt of the Triangle Tribe. Every time the salt is changed, the men can't help cursing.
What you see now is the real salt, and the ecstasy in the man's heart is fully displayed on his face.
"Besides this kind of prey, what else can you exchange your salt for?"
"In addition to seeds, like your calf, other beasts that don't eat people, as long as they are alive, they can be exchanged."
The man nodded his head in understanding.
Sang Yu took out two jars of salt from the back basket and handed it to him, "This is a deposit, after you send the herbivore to our tribe, I'll give you the rest. You can exchange pottery and salt if you want. "
The man hurriedly asked: "Then where is your tribe?"
"Go straight to the direction where the sun rises, and you will come across a big river. Walk along the river bank for half a day and you will be there."
Now that the tribe is getting stronger and stronger, Sang Yu is not afraid of people coming to make trouble. If there are really short-sighted people, they will be beaten all over the place looking for teeth.
"Okay, then you wait, when I find these beasts, I will send them to you."
The two jars of salt in hand can last for a long time, and this tribe is so generous.
Sang Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll wait for your good news."
After speaking, he took Yu to continue shopping at other stalls.
Holding the salt jar, the man said to the partner beside him, "What kind of stall do we have, let's go find the cow."
The companion also quickly got up from the ground, gathered all the things on the animal skin and carried it on his back, and said: "Go, this salt looks beautiful, go back and call a few people, and go to the place last time to have a look."
Sang Yu walked around the market, but didn't see anything good.
In the end, he guarded the booth by himself, and let Yu Hejiao and the others go shopping by themselves, and exchanged pottery for whatever they liked.
Anyway, these things brought out are impossible to carry back.
But Yu shook his head, didn't go anywhere, and sat at the side with Sang Yu at the stall.
Sang Yu patted her head, her eyes were very doting.
Finally it was the turn of Miao, Jiao and Ke to go shopping. The three of them were very happy. After shopping in the market for a whole day, they returned a bunch of messy things.
Sang Yu smiled and said nothing, and let them go.
Like a generous parent, let your kids buy whatever they want.
After the third day, they finally got some garlic and onion seedlings and seeds, and Sang Yu felt that there was no need to stay in this market this year.
Moreover, the previous jerky was exchanged for the calf, and if he stayed any longer, he would be hungry.
Just when Sang Yu was about to take the remaining pottery and salt to exchange for something, she suddenly spotted a booth, and the exchanged goods were actually packed in a net-shaped bag. The thing is hemp.
Without saying a word, she went forward with the remaining things on her back. The other party thought that the people of the Phoenix tribe were interested in some of her animal bones, so they excitedly took out all the things.
Now the whole market knows that the Phoenix Tribe is best at making pottery, and they also have high-quality salt, which is even more generous. The men hope that they will take a fancy to these things of theirs, and it is best to replace them all.
But who knows, the other party asked him what the bag was made of.
He was immediately discouraged. To him, this kind of slightly tougher plant was everywhere. What was the value? People in their tribe used it to tie things, which was very common.
He couldn't help but said, "Don't you want these animal bones? These animal bones are very good."
Sang Yu shook her head and said, "If you can tell me where this plant is, I'll give it to you."
After speaking, he took out a jar of salt.
The man's eyes changed instantly, and he hurriedly said: "There are many around our tribe, I can take you there."
Sang Yu asked, "How far is your tribe from here?"
The man pointed to the north direction and said, "It will take three days."
Walking for three days was tiring physical work. But hemp is so rare, it is the key to the tribe's ability to weave nets and fish and make hemp clothes in the future, so no matter how hard it is, they have to go there.
It's a pity that the horse has not been tamed well, otherwise it would be a day to ride the horse.
"Then you lead the way, let's go."
After entrusting the booth to his companions, the man sets off with a few people.
Right after leaving the market, Sang Yu called Si Ya.
The man named Ji was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he prostrated himself on the ground.
Sang Yu hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, this is the guardian animal of our tribe, it will not hurt people at will."
Ji, who was lying on the ground, saw that Sang Yu followed the beast so closely, so he felt a little relieved. But when leaving, try to stay as far away from Si Ya as possible.
Sang Yu actually wanted this effect. After all, she has no way to see through people's hearts. This man said to take them to find Ma, who knows if he will do anything by then. Now that Si Ya came out, the deterrent effect was achieved, and he didn't dare to mess around.
After trekking for three days, before reaching the Black Mountain tribe, I saw a large area of flax and ramie in the mountains, which are the most primitive materials for making clothes.
Sang Yu couldn't stop the excitement in her eyes, and she said to Ji: "You take us here as promised, and I'll give you this jar of salt."
As he spoke, he ordered Jiao and Miao to start digging some seedlings and pack them up.
Ji took a pot of salt just to lead the way, which made him so happy that he hurriedly said, "I'll help you dig."
After speaking, he took the spear and started digging.
Sang Yu hurriedly told him not to hurt the roots, and that he should carry soil when digging up, so that he could bring it back to plant.
Miao and Jiao were also busy working, and it didn't take long to make five small bundles.
The roots of each bundle are wrapped and tied with big leaves to prevent loss of water, and the plant will not survive when it goes back.
After doing all this, Sang Yu looked at the flax all over the mountains and plains, and asked Ji: "Does your tribe have many people?"
Ji was a little embarrassed and didn't want to answer.
Sang Yu knew his concerns and said, "I actually want to exchange with the leaders of your tribe. If you want to exchange salt and pottery, you can peel the hemp and send it to our tribe."
This place produces ramie and flax. Even if you transplant it back and grow it yourself, you have to arrange for people to plant it and take care of it. It is better to exchange raw materials directly. A pottery and a pot of salt can exchange a lot of hemp, so there is no need to do it all by yourself.
Besides, the Phoenix Tribe has only a small number of people, and they can't finish their own work. Everyone can communicate with each other, saving a lot of time and energy.
After listening to Sang Yu's words, Ji also felt that it was easy to handle, and immediately agreed.
Sang Yu whispered to Jiao, asking him to take Miao and Ke to set off first, and find a place to wait for them on the way.
The main reason is that I am afraid that if I go to the Black Mountain tribe. At that time, if the other party made any small moves, Siya and Yu would be able to retreat unscathed. I was afraid that the numbness would not be able to be taken away by then, so let them take a step forward.
After the explanation, he took Yu and Siya and followed Ji to the Black Mountain Tribe.
