The Primitive World of Planar Trading

Except for the little episode of Alai, everyone chatted very happily. Hu Lang proposed to trade blood salt at the right time, but Bai didn't agree immediately, nor did he refuse, only saying that he needed to discuss it.

The cold winter is coming soon, the distance between the Changhe Tribe and the Great Lake Tribe is not too close, although it seems that Bai only flew here for more than ten days, that is because of his extremely fast speed, and because the air is not There are no terrain obstacles on the land. There are vast grasslands, forests, wastelands, etc. on the land. There are visible and invisible moats everywhere, which need to be detoured, and there are countless predators, which are in danger.

If they simply took the land route, even if Bai could provide them with the safest and fastest route, it would be difficult for them to reach the Changhe Tribe without a two to three month long journey.

If they still have to carry trading supplies, it will only take longer.

However, Bai came to the Dahu Tribe at the first stop, so he didn't choose randomly without preparation.

In addition to the sky and the land, there is actually another road—the river.

This is what Wu Nuo told him, Bai didn't know how the river should go, but he believed Wu Nuo's words.So, when they came out this time, they seemed to be flying south all the time, but they were not flying aimlessly. In fact, they had been going south along the main channel of the Changhe River. The Great Lakes tribe was the first big tribe they encountered on the way south. .And this roughly coincides with the route Dawu traveled in the past, so it is not unusual to run into acquaintances.

Taking the Changhe tribe as the starting point and the Dahu tribe as the end point, the direction of the Changhe River is generally from northwest to southeast, and the direction of the Changhe River roughly coincides with the direction of the monsoon wind.

From spring to summer, the wind blows from the southeast, bringing a lot of rain, and in autumn and winter, the wind direction is just the opposite.

Make good use of changes in wind direction and water flow, and the speed of water is much faster than that of land.

Moreover, the Changhe River is the main tributary of a super large river, and the river channel is getting wider and wider as it goes south. Except for a few sections of the river and during the flood season, the flow rate of the river tends to be gentle, which is very suitable for sailing.

At least, from the Changhe Tribe to the Great Lake Tribe, there is no problem with boating.

The place where Wu Nuo grew up was deep inland, but his relatives in the countryside lived next to a large tributary. He remembered that when he was a child, people often fished in the river in wooden boats or bamboo rafts.Later, when he was older, the river was polluted, and the fish and shrimps in the water gradually became extinct, and those wooden boats and bamboo rafts gradually disappeared.

Wu Nuo didn't know much about sailing, rivers, wind direction, etc., and vaguely remembered his grandfather's old friend—an old fisherman who had been fishing all his life—said a few words to him with emotion, and then there was something in the junior high school textbook. I didn't have time to return all of them to the geography teacher, but there are not many knowledge points left.

It is feasible to go by water.

But Wu Nuo didn't know how to move, how to build a boat, how to grasp the right time and place, but Master Taizu said something very correct, true knowledge comes from practice.

As long as you take the first step and stick to it, the road ahead will become smoother and smoother.

To build enough ships and develop water routes is not something that can be done with lip service. Everything still needs time and planning. Wu Nuo and Bai already have a preliminary plan in mind, and the most important thing now is to first Find a way to forge a good trading relationship with the Great Lakes Tribe.

After half a day of communication, Hu Lang and the others had a very good impression of Bai and Wu Nuo. After the dinner, they even invited Bai and Wu Nuo to play in their stone city.

It was already dark at this moment, Bai and Wu Nuo didn't want to move in the middle of the night, and the city must be dark, if there is anything to see, I promised them to go again tomorrow.

After sending Hu Lang and the others away, Wu Nuo handed Alai, who had been fed and drank until he fell asleep, to his brother Amu in person.

After sending Wu Nuo away tremblingly, Amu carried Alai into the tent, and slapped his fat butt hard.

Alai, who has been mischievous and bold since he was a child, has already been beaten countless times. Compared with his leader, Abba, his brother's strength is almost painless, and the little guy squeezed out a few tears pitifully. Hua, successfully won his brother's sympathy, Fat Claw Chow hugged his brother affectionately for a while and acted like a baby, escaped the catastrophe, and slept on all fours next to his brother's fat belly.

In the early morning of the next day, it was just dawn, and the rest of the tribes who were eager to return put their things out early, holding on to the last ray of hope, and wanted to exchange points with Wu Nuo and Bai, two travelers who came from afar. thing.

Wu Nuo woke up to their yelling, and naturally he didn't want to give up this opportunity. He went to the lake to wash up briefly, and hastily practiced "Basic Physical Skills". thing.

One after another, Wu Nuo discovered some more precious and rare witch medicine medicinal materials, and some seeds of wild vegetables and melons that were not found in the Changhe tribe. It has a special effect and can quickly promote body fluids and relieve fatigue. Long-term consumption can improve physical fitness to a certain extent, treat dark wounds, and prolong life. It is very precious.

However, plow fruit is a sun-loving plant and is not cold-tolerant. According to the person who traded the seeds to Wu Nuo, they grow near the volcano, where it is very hot all year round and difficult to get close to. Because of its delicious taste and special effect, plow fruit is surrounded by poisonous insects and snakes. , They have to spend a lot of money every year to pick fire plow fruit.

"...Haven't you ever thought about growing fire plow fruit yourself?" Bai asked Hou Yong.

Hou Yong is a member of the monkey tribe. The shape of the beast is a bit like the monkeys on the earth. It is slightly bigger, but not as big as the orangutan. The hair on its body is dark green, its head is rounder than that of a monkey, its teeth are sharp and fine, and its tail is thick and long. , very powerful, condensing all their fighting power, some adult monkey beast orcs have tails up to four or five meters long, and the short ones are more than three meters long. Hands and feet, their tribe is built on towering giant trees deep in the jungle.

In terms of combat power alone, they may not be as good as beast-level orcs, but if it is a jungle battle, beast-level orcs who can't climb trees can only be slaughtered by them.

However, they like the unrestrained life in the jungle. They neither marry with foreigners nor have any ambitions, and their relationship with the surrounding tribes is pretty good.

It is precisely because they do not intermarry with foreigners and never keep slaves. The entire tribe has less than 2000 people, but the ratio of orcs is surprisingly high, accounting for [-]% of the total number. It is very rare. Although it is a small tribe, its strength is unmatched. than a medium-sized tribe.

Hou Yong scratched his head, and said honestly, "I planted them, but they all froze to death in the cold winter."

The monkey clan has always been known for their smart brains. They have mastered the planting technology very early, and they have planted all kinds of melons and fruits they like to eat around the station.But because they are very xenophobic, they never marry with foreigners, and they live in the deepest part of the jungle, so outsiders don't know how they do it. They always seem to have a way to save these hard-to-preserve fruits, and others are hungry in winter. With their chests attached to their backs, the monkeys and beasts can still eat fresh melons and fruits. Even though many tribes around were hit by disasters in the cold winter last year, they were not affected too much.

The plow fruit grows in a volcanic Jedi, and only the monkey clan has the ability to get them. Therefore, the plow fruit is also one of the main trade items of the monkey clan, and most of them are directly traded to the Dahu tribe in exchange for coarse salt .

The Dahu Tribe’s asking price for coarse salt this year is higher than in previous years. Affected by the cold winter, the output of plow fruit is not as high as in previous years. Because there is not enough coarse salt, the monkey tribe has not left until now.

Before contacting Hu Lang and Wu Yue yesterday, Wu Nuo exchanged a small amount of blood salt for something, and the news of the blood salt has spread among the remaining ten or so tribes.

But Wu Nuo was called away by Hu Lang yesterday before he had time to look at many things. In order to find out the trading market here as soon as possible, he let the other party ask for the price of the things he likes.

The natives are all cunning and cunning, so naturally it is impossible to quote honestly, so they all raised the asking price a little bit, but because of the terrifying beast aura on Bai's body, and seeing that Samba was flattering the two of them, They didn't dare to go too far, they just took advantage of it at most.

However, it is an indisputable fact that the blood salt in Wu Nuo's hand is slightly cheaper than coarse salt.

It is also true that blood salt has no bitter taste and is of better quality than coarse salt.

Therefore, Houyong and the others naturally wanted to take this opportunity to exchange some blood salt from Wu Nuo, but the supplies they brought to trade were not many, and after several transactions, Wu Nuo was even less interested up.

All the fire plow fruits have been traded to the Great Lakes Tribe, and there are only a few or twenty plow fruit seeds that everyone eats.

Fire plow fruit likes the sun and heat. It stands to reason that the Changhe tribe is not suitable for planting, but the land of death is warm all year round. It is similar to the volcanic Jedi described by Hou Yong.

Taking a step back, even if the Changhe tribe can't grow fire plow fruit, these seeds will be liked by big-ticket traders in the system trading area, and they are not afraid that they will not be sold at a good price.

"Ask him if his tribe still has fire plow fruit seeds. If so, I'll take them all."

"Yeah." Bai nodded.

Because these people could not understand Changhe language, Wu Nuo and Bai did not avoid talking with them.

Turning his head, Bai asked Houyong, "Do you still have fire plow fruit in your tribe?"

"Yes, but not many." Hou Yong thought for a while and added, "They are all in the tribe."

"I'll take it all. I'll double the price you trade with others."

The eyes of Hou Yong and the people around him lit up, but before they could speak, they only heard Bai Huafeng say, "However, I have one condition."

"What conditions?" The crude salt of the Dahu tribe is a little more expensive this year than in previous years, but it is not twice as expensive. To trade double blood salt for fire pear fruit, this opportunity must be seized!

"I want the seeds of plow fruit, the more the better."

Hou Yong thought that Bai proposed such a difficult condition, but he didn't expect it to be such a simple condition. Anyway, they can't grow the seeds of fire plow fruit, so it is a good choice to use it as a favor.

Hou Yong suppressed the joy in his eyes, pretended to discuss with his clansmen, and quickly agreed.

However, the remaining fire plow fruits are in their tribe, so Debai went to trade with them.

Bai nodded without hesitation.

Wu Nuo witnessed the whole process of Bai Damiao fooling Monkey Yong and the others, and couldn't help giving a thumbs up in his heart—talent!He's even more of a profiteer than him!
