Beginning Backpack [Farming]

"Ah?" Yi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Shen Huaijin and then at the yellow powder on the ground, a flash of light flashed in his mind, he suddenly understood something, he said unhurriedly: "Don't Wu Jin know about this thing? This is the Yellowstone from Shihuoyuan, which can prevent and kill insects. We often travel, so we take some with us.”

He smiled, showing his teeth that were dazzlingly white in the night, "But this yellowstone is something we travel merchants use for ourselves, and it is not exchanged under normal circumstances."

Shen Huaijin nodded clearly, and even expressed her agreement, "So that's the case. What the leader Yi said makes sense, you must first pay close attention to the team's own needs."

Yi was caught off guard by this reply, he had only dropped half of the yellow stone in his hand, and he didn't know whether to continue, so he just stared blankly at Shen Huaijin.

"Boss Yi, if you have anything to do at night, feel free to come to us, don't be afraid that we will find it troublesome." Seeing him in a dilemma, Shen Huaijin smiled slightly, and left without lingering.

The moment he turned around, he shouted loudly in his heart.

It's brimstone! ! !

He concealed his restlessness, and walked back home slowly under Yi's gaze.

Seeing that he was blushing after returning, Li stood up and strode towards him, asking in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Shen Huaijin looked up at him, her warm eyes sparkling under the candlelight, "I found that the traveling merchant team was carrying brimstone!"

It turned out not to be bullied.Li's heart settled down, he thought about it and said, "Sulphur? It sounds familiar, did you ask Yan to help you find it?"

"That's right!" Shen Huaijin nodded heavily, speaking quickly, "With saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur, I can make explosives with great lethality, which will be of great use in mining and resisting the approaching animal horde. can work.”

"However, even if we brought half a bag of sulfur, it's not enough for us to use it recklessly. In the end, we still have to see if Yan can bring some more back."

Li was influenced by Shen Huaijin's ears and eyes, and he was no longer as simple and "naive" as before, and his heart was a little more small, "Yi looks very thoughtful, do you need me to come forward together in the negotiation?"

Shen Huaijin waved her hand, blinking her eyes a bit playfully, "No, I'm sensible."

Because the traveling caravan noticed all kinds of "treasures" of the tribe that were not yet popular in the market, coupled with Yi's cunning and cunning, Shen Huaijin could only suppress the excitement in her heart and show a calm look, so as not to be yelled at by the opponent's lion.

Therefore, when Yi found him the next morning, Shen Huaijin only showed a look of indifference.

Yi put half a bag of yellow stones on the stone table, and quietly observed Shen Huaijin's residence, including the ingeniously conceived bamboo path, the workshop shed with a lot of tools, the brick house that had just started construction, and the green sprouts and yellow saplings beside it. ears of rice.

He smiled and said: "Jin Wu, I discussed with a few traveling merchant warriors last night, and I think the Dahe tribe has so many precious things, and it is definitely expected to become a big tribe in Linshanyuan. We will visit often if we have the opportunity .For future friendly exchanges, we are willing to share this half bag of Huangshi in exchange for you.”

Shen Huaijin casually glanced at the mouth of the bag, and indeed saw small pieces of light yellow sulfur and some powder, he didn't respond immediately, but calmly invited Yi to sit down and made him a cup of scented tea.

The aroma of peach blossoms is tangy, and some peach jam is melted in the tea, which tastes fragrant and sweet. It is really pleasant to taste such a fresh drink in the morning mist.

Yi Zai warned himself from the bottom of his heart not to indulge in pleasure, and explained his intentions again.

Shen Huaijin watched the stream falling from the Zhudaokou return to the stream, rushing non-stop, and while sipping tea, said slowly: "Chief Yi, the traveling caravan must need these yellow stones more than we do. We appreciate your kindness, and thank you for your kindness." Welcome merchants to often come to the Great River Tribe as guests."

However, Yi smiled with a sure chance of winning, "Jin Wu, I saw your performance yesterday. The Dahe Tribe absolutely needs this."

Shen Huaijin glanced back at the high city wall under construction, almost one-third of the barriers built from both sides were completed, and it would be completed by the next hot season at most.

With gunpowder, it can be icing on the cake, but without it, it can't hurt the root.

So he smiled back, "It's not particularly necessary."

For a moment, he didn't know how to answer the conversation.Seeing the stalemate in the atmosphere, Shen Huaijin took the initiative and said: "I saw the gray-skinned beast brought a lot of supplies last night, why don't Leader Yi take me to have a look, maybe there is something that the Dahe Tribe needs."

"Okay." The red-haired orc stood up neatly, "Jin Wu follows me."

The gray-skinned beasts were all stationed outside the Taniguchi, and the other members of the caravan were also gathered together. No one was seen wandering around. Obviously, the long-term dangerous life forced them to become extremely disciplined.

Shen Huaijin followed Yi to the place where they gathered.Although he was surrounded by seventeen or eight tall gray-skinned beasts and more than two dozen fierce orcs, he was not afraid because there were orcs from the Dahe Tribe building the city wall nearby.

The supplies were all taken from the gray-skinned beast and wrapped in clean hides that were stitched together.The members of the traveling caravan looked ferocious, but they were very enthusiastic. Seeing Shen Huaijin come back, they enthusiastically introduced him to the contents of various animal skin bags.

According to them, nearly half of these animal skin bags are salt and pottery, and the rest are local specialties and their own utensils.

When Youyan went out to the market, Shen Huaijin was not interested in salt or pottery, so he asked the orcs to show him the other items.

The animal skin bags were opened one by one, and he first saw Tianheyuan's pearls, shell necklaces, large leaf algae similar to kelp, sharpened fishbone needles, and so on.

Shen Huaijin picked up two handfuls of rolled kelp, with some tiny grains of salt on it, and asked casually, "Do the tribes in Tianhe Plain use this method to preserve food?"

The orc beside Yi smiled heartily, "Jin Wu, this is the practice of traveling merchants. We have little time to rest and hunt, so we have to spend a lot of effort to preserve food, so we tried this method. The Dahe Tribe can also learn from this method." made."

He glanced at him indifferently, "Jin Wu saw at a glance that this is a method of preserving food, of course it is because he is familiar with this method, what do you need to say?"

The orc rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

Shen Huaijin raised the corners of his lips slightly and remained silent. As he walked, he picked up two strings of pearl necklaces, a set of fishbone needles, and a lot of pickled kelp.

Seeing that it was inconvenient for him, Yi hurriedly asked the orc nearby to hold it for him.

Shen Huaijin freed his hands and continued to search. When he arrived at the animal skin bag in Kuangfengyuan, he saw a large bag of white powder. Seeing his curiosity, the orc beside him immediately explained enthusiastically: "Wu Jin, this is from near the salt lake of Kuangfengyuan. Washing, we specially use it for washing animal skins, just pour a little in water, and the oil removal effect will be very good.”

"It's not bad. The fruit washing in Linshanyuan can't do this," Shen Huaijin helplessly tugged at the hem of her somewhat dirty clothes, "I can finally wash it this time, Chief Yi, give me more of these."

"Okay!" Yi Shuang said happily.

The orc next to him directly brought three big bags for him, and reminded: "Jin Wu, you only need to add a little bit for washing at a time, and add too much to burn your hands."

"I see, you must be careful when using it." Shen Huaijin responded to his kindness with a smile.

This is soda ash!How could he not know the pros and cons in it.

After walking around, Shen Huaijin wanted a little bit of everything, and would buy more useful things. In the end, there were three or four orcs behind him carrying things for him.

He looked at these results contentedly, and asked, "Boss Yi, how do you plan to exchange them?"

Yi glanced at the items carried by the orcs, "It seems that Jinwu prefers the things that we merchants usually use, oh..." He saw the large handful of kelp, and teased: "There is still food."

Shen Huaijin shrugged, "I can't help it. There is a shortage of supplies here. Food, food, and supplies are not as complete as upstream merchants."

Yi counted them, without hesitation, "Jin Wu, I want to exchange your cloth and that shiny and sharp thing."

"That is an iron tool, but we don't plan to use it to exchange items for the time being."

"Why?!" Yi asked hurriedly.

"Until the moment of strength, walking in the market with treasures will only increase your troubles. The different leaders must understand this truth better than us." Shen Huaijin looked directly at him, "We show you the iron tools because we believe that walking in the Eastern Continent Centuries of wandering merchants are loyal enough, but we cannot trust every tribe."

Shen Huaijin said sincerely: "Boss Yi, I regard Youshang as a friend, and I would like to promise that when we decide to release iron tools in the future, the first one will definitely go into the hands of Youshang."

Yi stared at him with a sullen face, and then laughed loudly after a long time, "Okay! You Shang just made Jin Wu a friend!"

Shen Huaijin's heart fell to the ground.

"Since you don't want to sell iron utensils, let's change to cloth and pottery, as well as some bamboo utensils and Jin Wu's delicacies."

Yi Yi counted the things, quickly calculated in his mind, and finally decided to exchange ten pottery pots, eight pieces of cloth, ten bamboo strips and rattan baskets, dozens of pairs of rattan straw sandals, and Shen Huaijin's homemade peach blossom tea, jam and side dishes. .

"By the way, Jin Wu, do you want the remaining half bag of yellow stones?"

Shen Huaijin nodded, "Yes."

Yi Xie laughed, "Half a bag of yellow stones for a piece of cloth, would Jin Wu be willing?"

At the last step, there was nothing worth bargaining, Shen Huaijin wrote lightly: "Yes."

"You're so bold, and you said you don't need Huangshi." Yi muttered, obviously complaining about Shen Huaijin's posturing.

Shen Huaijin shrugged, "These things have already taken advantage of the friends of the traveling merchants, why would I be entangled with an extra piece of cloth?"

Yi clapped his hands, and the orcs on the side moved in response, and dragged out bags of bulging yellow stones from behind the gray-skinned beast on the far side.

"Jin Wu, how much do you want for a bag of yellow stones for two pieces of cloth?"

Shen Huaijin: Careless...

In the end, with tears in his eyes, he bought it at the price of ten pieces of cloth in exchange for six bags of Huangshi. Fortunately, he received more linen during this period, so he would not have to go around borrowing cloth.

When Shen Huaijin returned to the tribe, she also told everyone that they could go to the place where merchants gather to exchange items, but there is one point that iron tools cannot be exchanged, and others are optional.He also told everyone his exchange ratio for their consideration, don't be fooled by the wandering merchant orcs.

Everyone ran to Taobao excitedly, and Taniguchi was bustling for a while.The merchants opened all the animal skin bags and arranged all kinds of items neatly one by one, which really felt like a market.
