The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 317 It Feels So Good To Be Rich

In the trading area of ​​the Mang tribe, people from the Bamboo Rat tribe held a small bag containing ten tin coins, one tin coin could buy a catty of salt, that is to say, the goods they brought were exchanged for a total of ten catties of salt.

Ju Ya, the leader of the Bamboo Rat Tribe, held this money in his hand. He didn't have to carry a heavy load, but only a small bag with some small tin coins in it.

This feeling is very strange, not only relaxed, but also makes people who are used to carrying goods feel uneasy.

Ju Ya was eager to know whether the tin coins in his hand could be used for trading, so he walked to the pottery shop.

In the store, there is a dazzling array of pottery from the Mang tribe. In addition to the pottery, there is actually a silver-white utensil, which is shining in a pile of pottery.

Ju Ya's eyes lit up, and he said, "What is this? It's so beautiful."

Ju Fang picked up a silver-white tin bowl, which was engraved with the totem pattern of the Mang tribe, very beautiful, and there was a symbolic flame rhinoceros pattern on the front.

"Leader Jufang, you are really discerning. This is called tinware, and it is the latest product produced by our Mang tribe. I dare say that only our Mang tribe has this thing in the entire continent."

"If you buy one back, then your entire bamboo rat tribe is the first tribe besides our Mang tribe to have this precious artifact. If other tribes visit in the past and see this artifact, they will treat you as well." Very envious!"

The shop assistant’s words made Jufang’s eyes brighter. Today’s Bamboo Rat Tribe is not the same as before. Since trading coal and various stone materials with the Mang Tribe, the Bamboo Rat Tribe quickly got rid of poverty, and even gradually became become rich.

When people are rich, of course they have to pursue better things.

This kind of precious and beautiful tinware fits Juya's definition of a good thing.

"This... tinware, how to trade?"

Ju Ya poured out one of the tin coins from the small bag, and said, "All my goods have been exchanged for yours, can they be traded?"

The store clerk smiled and said, "Of course, this is a token of our Mang tribe. We call this thing money. Money can buy anything in the trading area."

The shop clerk picked up the tin bowl, pretended to look outside, and said in a low voice, "If someone else comes to buy it, this kind of treasure will cost at least ten tin coins!"

"Ten?"

Ju Ya's eyes widened. He thought he was rich and powerful just now, but now he realized that he was still a poor man.

He only has ten tin coins with him. According to the Mang tribe, this is ten catties of salt, but now, he can only exchange for one tin bowl.

The store clerk said: "Don't worry, Chief Jufang, ten tin coins, that's the price to sell to others. Our Mang tribe and the Bamboo Rat tribe are friends. Of course, it will be cheaper to sell to friends."

"How about it." The store clerk approached Juya and whispered: "I'll sell you six tin coins, how about it? This price is extremely low."

"But you can't tell others. To outsiders, you just say that you bought it for ten tin coins. Otherwise, our future transactions will be difficult."

What the store clerk said made Juya very excited, and he had a mentality of taking advantage of the sky.

Although he still feels distressed when he thinks that six tin coins are six catties of salt, he feels much better when he thinks that the coal and stone energy of the Bamboo Rat tribe continuously provide wealth.

He gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, took out six tin coins from the bag, put them on the counter, and said, "I bought this tin bowl!"

The guy smiled more sincerely, first he quickly put away the money, and then put the tin bowl in Ju Ya's hand.

"The leader of the giant tooth is really making a lot of money, but remember, when you go out, don't say that you bought it for six tin coins, you must say ten!"

Ju Ya nodded, held the tin bowl in his arms, stroked it for a while with a smile on his face, and then carefully put it into the animal skin bag that he carried with him.

This thing cannot be seen outside, otherwise someone should come and snatch it.

Ju Ya understands the reason why money is not revealed.

Ju Ya said: "Then let's go first, and then go shopping for other things."

"Go slowly, come again next time!"

The store clerk watched Juya leave and waved his hand enthusiastically, making him happy.

Others don't know what's going on, but as a tinware and pottery seller, he knows it clearly.

The pewter, including the pewter, was made from strange stones dug up by the tribe, and was made faster than pottery.

Although pewter looks very good-looking, in fact, its value is not much higher than pottery, and the manufacturing speed is much faster than pottery.

"The leader is really amazing. This thing is so shiny, it looks like a treasure at first glance. Who would have thought that it is actually worthless?"

The store clerk was very emotional, and the feeling of receiving tin coins was indeed much better than receiving goods. You don't need to bother about valuation, and you don't need to work hard to move those heavy goods, which is simple and convenient.

The shop clerk took out another tin bowl and placed it in a prominent position on the shelf, in sharp contrast to the pottery.

As for the people of the Bamboo Rat Tribe, after completing a transaction with tin coins, they knew that this thing could indeed be used, and felt much more at ease.

After walking for so long, everyone was hungry, Juya went directly to the inn of the Mang tribe.

The inn of the Mang tribe is very popular in the trading area because the food tastes very good and there are many kinds. There are many people who come to eat or stay.

A person in front of the giant tooth used a piece of animal skin to obtain five catties of cooked meat, a bowl of mixed grains and rice, and a small pot of wine from the inn clerk. He sat down at the vacant table beside him and ate satisfactorily.

Ju Ya saw that they were still trading goods such as animal skins, while he was holding convenient tin coins in his hand. Suddenly, he felt a sense of superiority.

Juya walked to the counter of the inn, took out a tin coin from the bag, and slapped it on the counter vigorously, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

"How much cooked meat can I exchange for a tin coin?"

It was also the first time for the inn staff to accept tin coins, but Chenbei had already marked the price of the goods in the trading area with tin coins and asked them to remember.

"Our leader said that one tin coin can be exchanged for a catty of salt, or thirty catties of cooked meat for a jug of wine."

Juya only brought ten warriors this time, but the tribesmen, especially the warriors, eat a lot, and thirty catties of cooked meat is not enough.

"I'll give you another tin coin, and give us fifty catties of cooked meat, ten catties of miscellaneous grains and rice, and a big jug of wine."

Ju Ya was very quick to take out another tin coin. Although it was a bit distressing to spend, he enjoyed the gazes and envy of the people around him.

After all, most people who come to eat are not willing to ask for so much meat, and would rather eat something cheap.

The inn clerk accepted the two tin coins with a smile on his face, and said, "Sit down a bit, I'll go get ready right away."

Ju Ya found a good place to sit down, and soon, the meat, rice, and wine were served, and the people of the Bamboo Rat Tribe started eating happily.

Ju Fang ate a mouthful of meat and drank a mouthful of wild wine, feeling very happy. He touched the only two tin coins left in the bag, and remembered that the pottery and tin wares seller called this thing money.

So he said with emotion: "It feels so good to be rich!"

Those around who chose not to exchange tin coins and insisted on bartering felt a little shaken when they saw this scene. They realized that this tin coin can really be traded smoothly in the trading area, and it is better than carrying goods on their backs. Transactions need to save face.

Some of them decided to exchange the goods into tin coins at the entrance next time they came to trade, but more people still chose to wait and see, not because they were timid, but because life was not easy, and caution became a habit.
