Jiang Xuan placed various goods in front of Wu Yu and said, "Are these goods enough to exchange for these seeds?"
Wu Yu carefully inspected the goods that Jiang Xuan brought out and found that most of the goods were of good quality and were more than enough to trade seeds.
However, he still said with an expression of embarrassment: "We traveled to countless tribes to collect these seeds. Leader Xuan, look, should we add more..."
Jiang Xuan thought for a while, then took out half a stick of insect wax, and said with an unhappy expression: "How precious is this thing? Leader Wu Yu should know, right? This, plus these goods, will be exchanged for all the seeds."
"If Leader Karasuba is still unwilling, then this deal cannot be done, and I don't want the seeds anymore."
When Karasuba heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Except for the Vine Tribe, no other tribe would pay such a high price to trade these seeds.
Wu Yu smiled apologetically and said: "Don't worry, Chief Xuan. We are also old friends. As you said, this half stick of insect wax, plus these goods, will be traded for all the seeds."
"I suffered a little loss, and I gave these little animal skin bags to you as well."
Jiang Xuan's expression softened slightly, and then he nodded.
Wu Yu was afraid that Jiang Xuan would regret it, so he immediately accepted the insect wax and asked the soldiers of the Black Tooth Tribe to move all the goods away.
Those large animal skin bags were exchanged with Jiang Xuan's animal skin bags, and the pile of small animal skin bags inside were not poured out.
After the transaction was completed, Jiang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. With these seeds, the Vine Tribe's planting industry will bring more returns.
Jiang Xuan tied the seeds to Tangyuan's back again, and his mind immediately relaxed. With these seeds, this trip to the Black Tooth Tribe was quite fruitful.
"Chief Xuan, the deal is completed. Now we can have something to eat in peace. Come on, come to my place."
"Okay, then you have to prepare more, I have a big appetite."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Chief Xuan, he's in charge."
Wu Yu made a fortune and felt very happy, taking Jiang Xuan to the place where he lived.
The people of the Black Tooth Tribe usually live in the mountains. At first, they may have liked to live on the flat land, but later on, as they went up the mountains for a long time, their living habits changed.
Wu Yu led Jiang Xuan halfway up the mountain and stopped in front of a wooden house.
Jiang Xuan noticed that the door of the wooden house was made of a single piece of heavy wood, with a flat stone underneath. There were grooves on the stone, and there was a protrusion under the wooden door, which fit right into the groove.
There is also a protrusion on the top of the wooden door, which is set into a grooved wooden buckle.
"Squeak..."
Wu Yu pushed the door open with a bit of pride in his eyes, because most tribes used doors made of tied wood, similar to fence doors.
That kind of door needs to be moved around and supported by wood, which is not convenient at all.
But Karasuba didn't know that the Vine tribe had long used this kind of door that could be pushed directly since they had bronze tools that could do more delicate carpentry work.
Moreover, the wooden doors of the Rattan tribe also have door latches and door buckles, which are more convenient and beautiful than the wooden doors of the Black Teeth tribe.
Of course, Jiang Xuan did not expose Wu Yu's intention to show off, and even praised: "This kind of door is so convenient. When I return to the tribe, I will find someone to make a few more."
"Hahaha, Chief Xuan, it is not easy to make such a door. If you want, you can bring more goods next time and I can sell you a few doors."
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he had to sigh at the charm of business.
Other tribes are still trading animal skins and bones, and the people of the Black Teeth tribe have begun to think about selling doors. Maybe they will also develop the business of selling windows after a while.
When the two entered the door, Jiang Xuan felt the aura of a primitive nouveau riche.
Various animal horns and skins are hung on the walls of the house. The horns are thick and smooth, and the skins are colorful and very conspicuous.
In addition to animal horns and skins, there are also several bows, some well-made bone and stone weapons, various pottery, beautiful feathers of various colors, etc. placed in the room.
If the items in this room were traded, their value would be immeasurable.
For the first time, Jiang Xuan had a clearer idea of the abundance of the Black Tooth Tribe. These guys flew around all day long and got too many good things.
"Chief Xuan, sit down, sit down!"
Seeing Jiang Xuan's surprised look, Wu Yu's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she became even more enthusiastic towards Jiang Xuan.
He asked Jiang Xuan to sit down on a colorful animal skin. There was some hay under the animal skin, making it very soft to sit on.
Later, Wu Yu took out a variety of delicious dried animal meat and various delicious wild fruits, filled them in pottery, and placed them on the animal skins for Jiang Xuan to eat.
"Chief Xuan, come on, don't be polite, eat some dried meat first."
Karasuba was the first to pick up a piece of dried meat and started to bite it.
In addition to these dried meats and wild fruits, Wu Yu also added some water to the pottery tripod in the fire pond, added fresh animal meat and edible plant tubers, sprinkled some salt, and simmered it slowly.
Jiang Xuan took a wild fruit and gnawed it slowly. His eyes were attracted by the pottery basin containing the wild fruit.
This pottery pot is not as thick as ordinary pottery, it is very thin and has a texture close to that of porcelain.
On the pottery pot, there are some hunting patterns of tribal people. Although the paintings are not particularly beautiful, they can be seen clearly.
To be fair, the craftsmanship of this kind of pottery far exceeds the current skills of the Vine tribe, but the patterns are just a little worse than those of the Vine tribe.
"Chief Karasuba, which tribe fired this pottery?"
Jiang Xuan was very curious as to what kind of tribe a tribe with such superb pottery craftsmanship would be like.
The pride in Wu Yu's eyes could no longer be concealed. He held up the pottery basin and said, "This is called black pottery. It is a new pottery that has been successfully fired by the Rhinoceros tribe recently. You see, there is the totem pattern of the Rhinoceros tribe on the side. "
Jiang Xuan followed Wu Yu's guidance and saw a totem pattern on the side of the pottery basin, depicting a strong two-horned rhinoceros.
The Black Wind Rhinoceros of the Vine Tribe has one horn, but the totem pattern of the Rhinoceros Tribe has two horns. The difference is obvious.
Jiang Xuan had some impressions of black pottery because he had seen it in a museum in his previous life.
According to the museum, black pottery is as black as lacquer, as loud as paper, as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror, and as hard as porcelain. It is a fine product among pottery, not much worse than porcelain.
But Jiang Xuan knew nothing about the production process of black pottery.
Jiang Xuan asked: "Where is the Rhinoceros tribe? Is it a big tribe?"
Wu Yu replied: "The Rhinoceros tribe is a relatively powerful medium-sized tribe. They are not in the center, but further south."
Jiang Xuan asked again: "What kind of place is that further south?"
Karasuba thought for a while and said: "It's hotter over there than the central part, with more rain and more mosquitoes. It's not as comfortable as the central part."
According to Karasuba's description, the place where the Rhinoceros tribe is located is a bit like a tropics.
Jiang Xuandao: "If you have the chance, you must go and have a look. I will gain a lot of experience."
Karasuba was noncommittal about this, he still preferred the central part of Southern Wilderness.
"Gulu gulu..."
The animal meat in the pottery tripod already had an attractive meaty aroma. Wu Yu used a stick with a sharp end to pick out large pieces of animal meat, put it in a pottery plate, and then carefully cut it into pieces with a stone knife. .
Afterwards, Karasuba grabbed a piece of meat with his bare hands, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Chief Xuan, come on, come on, eat some meat."
Under Wu Yu's warm reception, Jiang Xuan couldn't take out his chopsticks, so he washed his hands like the Romans and ate with his hands.
Although the cooking method and eating method are relatively rough, the taste of the animal meat is quite good. Jiang Xuan praised it a few times while eating it.
This made Karasuba very useful and had a better impression of Jiang Xuan.
After eating and drinking, Wu Yu invited Jiang Xuan to visit the Black Teeth tribe.
Of course, it can also be understood as a kind of showing off.
Of course Jiang Xuan didn't have any objections. Instead, he hoped to be exposed to more new things in the Black Tooth Tribe, which would be conducive to the development of the Vine Tribe.
Wu Yu first took Jiang Xuan to a processing workshop, where the Black Tooth Tribe would process raw materials such as stone, animal bones, animal teeth, and animal skins traded back from other tribes.
After processing, the value of these things will increase several times, even more than ten times.
Buying at a low price, processing it twice, and then selling at a high price is a stable profit model for the Black Tooth Tribe.
Karasuba said proudly: "Our Black Tooth Tribe has dozens of places like this!"
"It's amazing." Jiang Xuan exclaimed sincerely.
This is the embodiment of a tribal heritage.
Don't underestimate such processing workshops. Each processing workshop requires a large number of tools and experienced craftsmen to support it.
These craftsmen did not appear out of thin air. In addition to occasionally absorbing craftsmen from other tribes, they mostly relied on their own tribe to cultivate them.
In order to run dozens of processing workshops at the same time, in addition to sufficient raw materials, a large number of experienced craftsmen are the key.
A tribe like the Vine Tribe, which was established only a short time ago, simply cannot gather that many craftsmen. It can only spend a lot of time training a group of craftsman apprentices and slowly accumulate experience.
After visiting the ordinary processing workshop, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but said: "I have a question, it may not sound very good..."
Wu Yu said: "Leader Xuan, just say it."
"Your Black Teeth tribe is so rich, haven't those big tribes ever thought about it?"
This question arose when Jiang Xuan entered the Black Tooth Tribe.
When the benefits are big enough, other tribes will definitely be jealous, there is no doubt about it.
So how does the Black Tooth Tribe rely on to maintain its wealth?
Karasuba said calmly: "Of course there are big tribes who have made plans, more than once, but they all failed. Do you know why?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head, this was exactly what he couldn't figure out.
"Because the Black Tooth Tribe's development to this day does not depend on this territory, but on our ability to do transactions."
"If a large tribe wants to attack, we can just ride on the black-toothed bird and run away. When we move to the next place of residence, all kinds of transactions can still be successful."
"But the tribe that attacks us should be prepared to face the endless revenge of the Black Teeth tribe."
"Not only will we send people to attack all of their people who go out, but we will also persuade nearby tribes not to trade with them and trap them to death!"
When Karasuba said these words, the expression on his face was very confident, because the Black Tooth Tribe had already experienced similar things.
After listening to Wu Yu's words, Jiang Xuan also understood why those big tribes did not dare to attack the Black Tooth Tribe even though they knew that the Black Tooth Tribe was wealthy.
The combination of the two methods of military harassment and trade blockade is enough to collapse any tribe, because each tribe has little food reserves.
Once they are unable to go out for hunting and cannot obtain supplies through trade, big problems will arise within the blocked tribe without the Black Tooth Tribe launching a massive attack.
