"No, no more..."
After hearing Song Xuan's intention to continue searching, Shuiyun quickly replied.
After working for a long time, Shuiyun was also very tired. He usually did heavy work, so this kind of detailed work was really difficult for them.
And this was for free for Teng She, so naturally he didn't take it seriously. When he thought of what he said last night, Shui Yun wanted to slap himself.
Song Xuan did not expose his little thoughts. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Okay, let's find this place!"
"If the Blackwater Tribe discovers it again in the future, Soaring Snake can exchange it with something, whether it's food or pottery, it's up to you!"
After listening to Song Xuan's words, Shuiyun stood up and said excitedly:
"real?"
Song Xuan nodded, patted his chest and said:
"Okay, envoy, leave it to us!"
If you want a horse to run, you have to feed it. Song Xuan understands this.
I believe that with something to motivate them, Blackwater will definitely allocate manpower to help collect. As winter approaches, they gradually become idle and earn more pottery. Who wouldn't want to?
On the way back, the two discussed the approximate exchange ratio. If it was too cheap, they probably wouldn't have the motivation, so Song Xuan offered a very high price. A pot of rice could be exchanged for a pot.
As for Shuiyun's question about whether a bowl of rice could be exchanged for a bowl, Song Xuan just pretended not to hear it.
After finishing their busy work, it was past noon. After having a quick bite, Teng Snake and his party left the Blackwater Tribe with the food they had traded.
Although they didn't get along for a long time, the "feeling" between the two parties was pretty good. Shuiyun and Wu both gave Song Xuan a long journey, and the two parties also agreed to continue the exchange next spring.
Song Xuan also learned that the surrounding tribes would conduct large-scale transactions every spring. The location was at a fixed place, probably to prevent Teng She from bypassing the Blackwater tribe. Shuiyun did not reveal the specific location.
During the trade conference, each tribe will exchange their own tribe's things with others. Food, weapons, and even population can be traded.
Soaring Snake now has its own specialty products, so it must participate in such a trade fair. The Blackwater Tribe has no pottery until now, and obviously none of the surrounding tribes have any. This is a big business.
Song Xuan was vaguely looking forward to next year's trade conference.
"Angel, what is the use of that rice?"
It was difficult for Shi Meng to ask questions in the Blackwater Tribe, but now that he had left, he was finally able to ask about his confusion. Others later followed Song Xuan's example, but they all felt a little dull.
"Eat!"
After receiving Song Xuan's somewhat perfunctory answer, Shi Meng seemed speechless.
However, Song Xuan did not continue to tease them, and told them the correct way to eat rice. It must be accompanied by side dishes. The Blackwater tribe didn't even have the taste of meat. It was weird if the porridge was delicious!
"Is this rice really so delicious when cooked?"
Seeing Song Xuan nodding firmly, Shi Meng tightened the package tightly with some suspicion, carrying more than ten kilograms of rice on his back.
It was relatively easy when we came here, but it's not that easy now. Everyone has prey hanging on them.
The unit of transaction was sheep, but no tribe had so many. After some negotiation, there were dozens of prey, large and small. Even Song Xuan fought two pig legs.
As the load became heavier, the speed slowed down, and it became more troublesome to cross the mountains. It only took four days to arrive, but six days to go back. It was not until the evening of the sixth day that everyone returned as the sun set. In the tribe.
"Phew, finally home!"
After traveling in the wild for more than ten days, Song Xuan also started scribbling. He put down the pig legs and sat on the ground with his legs spread apart, completely losing his image.
"God's envoy! Are these all in exchange?"
"Wow!"
"So much, enough for the tribe to eat for a while!"
Looking at the achievements of Song Xuan and his team, the people in the tribe showed expressions of amazement. The harvest this time was much more than that of the hunting team.
And there is no big safety risk. All the tribe lost was some pottery made from soil.
Shi Meng and others were also bragging about this experience, but the fact that the Blackwater Tribe sent people to provide door-to-door service was naturally omitted. Shi Meng's daughter-in-law Shi Tao is not an ordinary person. She has a figure compared to Shi Meng. Worse than that.
After eating, the bonfire in the cave was not extinguished. With the current weather, at night, it was a bit cold even if everyone stayed in the cave.
So we can only light a fire to keep warm, but the airtight cave will be filled with smoke when there is a fire, and it will be cold without a fire. The cold wind blows in through the wide opening of the cave.
The tribe collectively discussed and decided to start building the house tomorrow and build the house as soon as possible before winter comes. Otherwise, they will have to wait until tomorrow when the snow falls.
No one has any objections to this decision. After all, everyone is tired of living in this cave, especially Shi Meng and the others. They went out to enjoy it again this time, and now they can't stand the atmosphere of the cave.
Building houses has long been a plan of the tribe, so when we expanded the square, we deliberately collected some building materials, such as wood, and the tribe already had a lot of stocks.
The ones I selected are all long and straight. After so many days, most of them have been dried. Now is a good time to use them.
However, building a house requires a lot of things besides wood. There are naturally many gaps when the wood is put together, and these gaps have to be filled with mud.
Song Xuan also discussed the style of the building with Shi Meng and the others on the road. It must be roughly similar to the original house with Heishui.
Houses like this are overwhelming. Now is the time to pursue speed. It must be faster with mature technology. Set up a large pillar in the middle, use a few thicker pillars around it, and use thinner ones for the others. Just fine.
Originally, Song Xuan wanted to build it in the square shape he was used to, but after considering the difficulty of construction, he gave up. It was more convenient to make it round.
The surroundings of the house are covered with mud mixed with weeds, and even the roof must be covered with a layer of mud so that it won't leak when it's windy or rainy. As long as the materials used are enough, heavy snowfall in winter doesn't need to be too much. Too worried.
The Tengshe Tribe doesn't have much of anything now, except for a lot of wood. The trees all over the mountains and plains are used for building houses.
After listening to Song Xuan's arrangements, everyone quickly got busy, cutting down trees and digging mud. The original wood also began to be pruned, trying to make it about the same length.
The children took stone knives and cut thatch everywhere. However, the dry thatch after autumn is also a big challenge for them.
