Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 178 Talking about business

"uh-huh."

Standing by the side, Drogo coughed heavily, and after a while in his heart, he opened his mouth slowly.

"The wild horses have now moved and left this area. After that, the business in this area may not be possible."

"Um"

Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded expressionlessly, and then there was no more to say.

This climate is about to enter winter, because of the change of seasons, there is a lot of work to be done, and Zhou Xu is sorting out his thoughts in his mind right now.

At this moment, he really didn't pay much attention to Drogo's reaction.

After all, the two of them are half acquaintances now. After working together for a period of time, he also understands Drogo's character, and when getting along, he is no longer as stiff as he was at the beginning.

In response to this situation, Drogo quickly glanced at Zhou Xu, and then found that he was obviously distracted, and a row of black lines suddenly hung on his forehead.

"uh-huh!"

"..."

"uh-huh!!"

"What's wrong? Your throat is uncomfortable?"

"..."

Amid Drogo's persistent dry coughing, Zhou Xu finally came to his senses, and he cared about the other party's body along the way, which made Drogo even more speechless.

In the end, he simply had a showdown.

"I mean, do you have any other business in your tribe?"

At this moment, Zhou Xu finally realized it.

"Do you want more arrows?"

After reacting, his words were considered knowingly.

On this grassland, bows and arrows can be said to be very important weapons, so the quantity and quality of arrows are naturally very important.

Having already talked about this, Drogo naturally didn't intend to hold back with Zhou Xu anymore, and just nodded his head generously.

"So, what else do you want? In this grassland area, we can basically grab some things."

Behind this sentence, what is shown is the powerful strength of their centaur clan.

In this grassland area, the centaurs and the hyenas themselves are the two strongest forces. With the hyenas seriously injured, Drogo undoubtedly has the confidence to say this.

"Actually, apart from Mustangs, I really don't have anything in particular I want."

Zhou Xu's words made Drogo feel helpless, but at this moment, he suddenly changed the subject.

"However, if you help me catch it, it's good for us to save a little effort ourselves."

"..."

[Zhou Xu, why are you panting when you speak? 】

Drogo couldn't help complaining in his heart, but what he didn't know was that Zhou Xu was laying the groundwork for his next words.

"Bison, you have seen, a bison, three arrows."

"Only three? The fur of the bison is stronger and more durable than that of the wild horse, and the meat can be eaten. The wild horse can be exchanged for five. Why are there only three bison? No matter how you can change it, you can change to seven or eight!"

Drogo, who didn't know the value of the horse, couldn't help asking questions at this moment.

From his point of view, this matter is simply incomprehensible.

At the same time, I don't know if he has traded too much with Zhou Xu. Invisibly, Drogo has also mastered some bargaining skills.

And Zhou Xu is very calm...

"Because our tribe doesn't lack this, and it doesn't take much effort for us to catch it ourselves."

"..."

Combined with the words that had been prepared before, Drogo couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.

"Okay, three will be three."

The purpose is to let Drogo know that he doesn't really have to trade these things, they can grab them themselves, at most it will take a little more effort.

Invisibly, the price was suppressed.

Although the production of arrows is not as labor-intensive as he said, it does not mean that arrows are worthless.

Take arrow feathers as an example, you have to use thick feathers and arrowheads, which are cast out of copper.

All the weapons and even agricultural tools of their tribe now need copper, and the current mining of copper mines is entirely by manpower, and the efficiency is not high.

The friendship between the two of them is friendship, and the business is business. Of course, the price can be suppressed as much as possible.

After all, they are the only ones who can produce copper arrowheads in the known area right now, so how much this thing is worth is not up to him to decide?
"In addition, there is a kind of animal that looks somewhat similar to a horse, but is shorter than a horse, called a donkey, have you ever seen it?"

Zhou Xu made gestures while asking Drogo.

If wild donkeys could be caught, it would be a good farm animal, not to mention that after mating horses and donkeys, mules could be bred.

But unfortunately, after listening to his description, Drogo shook his head, expressing that he had never seen it.

"Then you can pay attention. This donkey can exchange two arrows. Besides, have you ever seen an animal like a sheep? It looks so similar to an antelope, but it has no horns on its head and legs. Not that long, covered with thick white hair..."

For the animals Zhou Xu described, Drogo didn't have the slightest impression of the donkey, but the sheep.

"I don't know if it's the same species as you mentioned. I may have seen this sheep. Its meat is quite delicious and its fur is very soft."

"..."

Zhou Xu discovered that Drogo's knowledge of the animals on the grassland was all about the fur and the taste of the meat.

But after thinking about it, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

For people in this era, the fur of animals was an important resource, and the meat was an important food.

Besides, what value could animals have with them?
And Zhou Xu wanted sheep, mainly for its wool, which was a very warm material. If he could get wool, it would undoubtedly be good for them to keep out the cold in the next winter.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xu hurriedly asked...

"Where did you see the sheep, can you catch them?"

Facing this question, Drogo's face showed distress for the first time.

"I'm afraid... I can't catch it."

"reason?"

Zhou Xu, who had no intention of giving up, asked why.

In this regard, Drogo did not intend to hide it, and directly stated...

"I have only seen the sheep you mentioned once, but their activity area is not here, but in another area. At that time, they ran to the junction, and I just happened to hit one, and I shot one. "

Of course, Zhou Xu would not naively think that this entire grassland is the territory of centaurs and hyenas, and there must be other forces occupying this grassland.

It's just that the previous him couldn't even deal with hyenas and centaurs, so naturally he didn't have the time to think about things in other areas.

But now that Drogo took the initiative to bring up this matter, Zhou Xu naturally followed the trend to ask.

"The area over there, whose territory is it?"

"A group of guys who look similar to you, ugly, and have a pair of long ears. They are very difficult to deal with."

"..."
