The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Since there is no need to search for these tribes, Hei Wa only brought more than 1000 people to the fair this time.

Gao Huaiyu had no love in his life and continued to be his gold mine supervisor.Huang Shangshu was happily in the base camp, opening up wasteland and farming to support logistics.

After the Chinese New Year, the youngsters who were arrested by the strict master for more than half a month of their homework cheered happily. They were allowed to go to the market together.

No one was spared, and everyone was arranged to carry a large backpack, which was full of goods.

The ship merchants also let the servants carry on their backs, pick and choose, and take as much as they can carry.Thinking of being able to exchange these for gold, my heart was full of pride.

They are confident that as long as it is profitable, there is no one they can't make friends with, even if they are aboriginals!

We first rushed to the jungle tribe to join them. Seeing the goods and transportation methods prepared by the natives, everyone felt nervous.

Put such a big jar on top of your head, won't it sink?And there's something in the jar!Isn't this way too stupid?Wouldn't it be easier for you to tie up the live prey with vines and carry them away?
Chief Amu made a comparison, looked at his own people, and at the way the distinguished guests transported their goods, and wanted to cry.

In order to comfort Chief Amu, Heiwa and the others immediately offered benefits: using what the jungle tribes needed, a year's worth of salt, they exchanged fifty young men for one month's translation for their team.

The white and fine salt is the kind that was sent to their tribe last time, and all the tribe members who have eaten it say it is good.

Chief Amu finally smiled. This year, their tribe no longer needs to change salt, hehe.

After walking for a full ten days and climbing seven or eight hills, they were exhausted before they arrived at a prairie.

The grassland mentioned is actually a half-desert and half-grassland, with an area of ​​about five or six hundred mu.

Because it is a semi-desert area, the grass here grows sparsely, and there are no tall trees, so the view is relatively wide.

As for this grassland, thousands of people have already come, which can be regarded as a bustling crowd.

Approaching the assembly hall to take a closer look, it was even simpler than they imagined, without any regional planning, and it was a mess.

The natives who came first would choose a piece of grass that they were most satisfied with, and then spread animal skins or weeds on the grass to make a camp (a place to sleep at night).

All kinds of goods brought from the tribe were randomly placed in front of the animal skins.

Anyone who is interested in these goods can negotiate with them with their own goods.

Each other takes a fancy to each other's things, then discusses the amount of exchange, and finally exchanges, when the exchange is completed and when to leave.

Straightforward and original, everyone is very fresh to see, eager to try, want to Taobao at the big fair.

Heiwa and the others also found an open grass field a little farther away from the aborigines, and quickly set up more than a dozen large tents.

The boat merchants followed closely behind, and tents followed one after another, filling up the open space quickly.

Amu chief set up the jungle tribe's booth next to Hei Wa's big tent.

Anyway, they have already exchanged the most important products for this year, and their mentality is very Buddhist.

100 guards were left to guard the goods, and the rest of the soldiers were divided into nine teams.The team was led by eight teenagers and Uncle Zhongqin respectively, and scattered in all directions.

It was the first time that Lu Shaoting, Han Kuangyuan, Miao Shujian, and Pei Jiesun were given such an important task. Their chests were pounding loudly, and they all had a good eye for things.

The fastest runners were this group of teenagers, like wild horses that had run off their reins, and no one had the patience to listen to Uncle Zhongqin's ramblings.

The ship merchants also wanted to act alone, and did not want to follow Uncle Zhongqin to drink soup.

They divided into three teams, and each team requested twenty sailors and two native translators to accompany them.

Uncle Zhongqin is magnanimous, and everything is allowed!The ship merchants laughed from ear to ear, most of the goods were placed in the camp, and a small part was carried away by the servants.

In Heiwa's team, Amanlin was the interpreter for him, and he also brought a few older brothers.However, these aborigines are obviously not as flexible as Amanlin, they are shy and dull.

Hei Wa didn't dislike it either, and asked the soldiers to carry some of the cargo on their backs, and walked in the opposite direction to the ship merchants.

When he reached the third stall, Hei Wa was overjoyed: the natives at this stall not only exchanged big ostrich meat, but also caught a dozen small ostriches.

Don't draw too much attention to those dozens of ostrich eggs that are as big as heads.

Father who saw his friends said that he wanted them all.

Amanlin was a little puzzled, ostrich meat and ostrich eggs were still good things, but these little ostriches were too small to feed.

Moreover, they might run away by themselves when they grow up. They have seen a big living ostrich, but it is cruel and runs very fast.

But my friend's father likes it, so he can only help him translate honestly.

Heiwa took a five-jin salt jar from the soldier's back sling, and asked Amanlin how many ostriches and bird eggs he was willing to exchange.

The salt they boiled has no astringent taste at all, and its appearance is good. With just one glance, the aborigines who guarded the ostrich stall were stunned.

Under the Amway of Amanlin, a native dipped his finger in a little salt and tasted it, and was so excited that he talked with Amanlin for a while.

In the end, the meat of the two large ostriches, all the small ostriches, and the eggs were given to them, and they were exchanged for fifty catties of salt with clay pots.

Don't underestimate the weight of these two ostriches, a large adult ostrich can weigh more than 100 jins of lean meat.

With the first transaction, Heiwa and the others have a deeper understanding of the purchasing power of salt in this big fair.

Walking around the big rally again, the pace of the sailors' walking is really disrespectful to all relatives! ——The big chaebol who booked the venue is here!

The commodities on the stalls of the indigenous people are really varied: beautiful feathers of various colors, beast teeth, rhinoceros horns, ivory, zebra skins, crocodile skins, ostrich skins, buffalo skins, antelope skins and python skins, etc.

All kinds of live or dead prey, such as: antelope, caracal, rock hyrax, warthog, spotted hyena, honey badger, python, etc.

Beautiful flowers and plants, plant roots, grass seeds, various fruits: watermelons (similar to watermelons), bananas, berries, etc.

There are also some handicrafts carved with wood, and these handicrafts also have bone embedded under the wood as the base material.

The wood used for carving is black lacquer, polished smooth and shiny.

It is said that it is a kind of local ebony, its wood structure is tight and wear-resistant.

The aborigines used shells, hair, feathers, animal bones, horns and teeth as decorations for wood carvings.

The carved characters are concise, exaggerated and mysterious.

Fertility worship is the traditional culture of the aborigines. The population of the aboriginal tribes with extremely low productivity is the core criterion for determining whether the tribe is powerful or not.

Therefore, images of mother and child, pregnant women, etc. often appear in their sculpture art.

Their depiction of reproductive organs is very bold, showing yearning for life and praise for reproductive ability.

Qingyi looked at his master, picked up the small wooden figure with a big dick and couldn't bear to put it down, and thought it was very interesting, the corners of his mouth twitched violently.

Can this thing be used so carelessly to play with?There is also the wooden sculpture of a mother and child who are naked and breastfeeding. Master Yan and the others must see it, and they must not yell: "Is it indecent?" !I didn't expect you to be such a master!

Hei Wa: This is a work of art!Art!
The aboriginal tribe who set up the stall is really ingenious, not only has characteristic wood carvings, but also has many ostrich eggshells.

After the ostrich eggshells are taken out of the egg liquid, the eggshells are painted with various patterns of figures, animals, trees, flowers, and landscapes with various colors of paint.

The coloring is bright and bold, and it's also fun to watch.

How can there be such a rough and unique artwork in the Great Xia Dynasty?It's round, it's round.

The local tyrant, Uncle Zhongqin, changed all the way, and the natives who met them were shocked. This guy's salt is so good and abundant, how could they refuse?
If ebony woodcarving is a work of art, then ivory carving is a work of art among works of art!

The material used by the aborigines to make ivory carvings is the ivory of African elephants.

Without iron knives, they can use a whole ivory to grind out a unique animal shape.Some can even make hollowed-out patterns.

How valuable is the best work of art?One for thirty catties of salt!It was also accompanied by a bunch of trinkets made from ivory scraps.

Natives who set up stalls: The ivory carvings that these tribes have stored for several years are finally emptied. These twenty jars of salt are enough for their tribes to use for two years!
If it weren't for seeing the other party smiling and happy, they would have felt a little guilty. Would the other party regret it?Withdraw tonight!

Hei Wa had just swept away all the ivory carvings in his tribe, and when he walked to the next door, Hei Wa couldn't move his feet again.

These are a few beehives the size of a dustpan, pure natural wild honey.The bee chrysalis in the honeycomb is also a high-protein delicacy, and it is delicious when fried and served with wine.

Seeing the swollen faces of those aborigines who were stung by the bumblebee, everyone held back their laughter, and Amanlin almost laughed out loud.

"Friends, we have salt, nice clothes and food, what do you want in exchange?" He asked while pointing to the hive, indicating that he wanted to exchange all the honey.

"What is the clothes? Is this what you are wearing? What kind of leather is this made of? Feel it for me."

"It's much easier to wear than tree bark and animal skin. Let me tell you, my friend, it doesn't weigh a bit when you wear it. It's as comfortable as if you didn't wear it."

"Where did these people come from, I haven't seen them before!"

"Well, these are the distinguished guests of our jungle tribe. They came here on a big boat. They are very friendly to us and they are good people!" Amanlin said to his friends and spared no effort, wishing to let the aborigines in the whole continent know their friends generosity.

Heiwa didn't expect that these aborigines were more interested in the clothes they wore than the salt and food. In the end, they touched a honeycomb weighing more than a hundred catties and exchanged twenty pieces of summer clothes.

There were too many things to change, so Hei Wa asked people to put them back in the tent first, and they went on shopping.
