Not all the tribes on the Youjiang Plain worked together, and the leaders gathered to discuss until night but failed to come up with a consensus.

They are always unable to reach a consensus on the distribution of their own resources. They all want their own tribe to spend less manpower and take advantage of it. People in other tribes also think the same way.

As night fell, when it was time to rest, they had only one reasonable solution, which was to wait and see what happened. Not all the big things floating on the river were malicious.

If something really happened, it would not be too late for them to gather together to discuss a solution.

It was an ordinary night of calm. Due to the tribal gathering, people on Youjiang Plain got up early and began to clear the snow from the field, and lit fires one by one.

When the soldiers on the fleet heard the sound of the buffalo drum, they also got up quickly to wash up, and started an hour-long training.

The soldiers in charge of cooking prepared the ingredients one day in advance. They only need to light a fire in the morning, put these ingredients into the pot and cook them one by one.

These things are what they are used to, so after the training of the soldiers, the rice cracker stewed pork porridge has passed the hottest time, and it is served with freshly baked steaming boiled potatoes. Strong and satisfying.

After breakfast, it is time to prepare for today's day's itinerary. Since they know that the tribal assembly is on the opposite side, they also need to make some preparations to exchange fresh supplies they need.

The surrounding area is dominated by plains and the mountains are not tall, so their diet should be relatively lacking in large wild pigs and wild cattle.

Su Yao ordered the soldiers to bring more dried meat, as well as exquisite pottery and high-quality salt refined in the tribe.

In addition, before leaving, I brought some dried vegetables and seasonings from the tribe. Although the quantity is not very large, I might be able to exchange some things by taking this opportunity.

After all, there will definitely be no shortage of supplies on this vast plain, and there may be more.

The soldiers lined up and got off the boat with supplies on their backs, and walked towards the distant tribal gathering place.

In order to show their intention and goodwill, they propped up the totem in the tribe early on.

This is a customary rule in the Great Wilderness Mountains. To hold up the banner of the tribal totem is to tell the other party their identity, and it also means that they have no malicious intentions.

Obviously, this rule still works for the tribes on the Youjiang Plain, and the tribal leaders finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the totem.

Although they don't know what the totem represents, at least they know that the visitor is not malicious.

"Get ready to welcome the guests." The leader of the largest Youjiang tribe on the Youjiang Plain said.

Although the other leaders were dissatisfied with the tone of his order, due to the large number of people in the Youjiang tribe, they had no choice but to hold their noses and agreed temporarily.

Su Yao led the soldiers to the outside of the assembly in a mighty manner. Dozens of extraordinary people came to meet them. The arrogance and arrogance of those who have been in high positions for a long time can only be seen.

As an uninvited guest, Su Yao took the lead in introducing his background: "We came from a distant God's Blessing Tribe. We heard that there is a gathering in winter here, so we came here specially."

With a tall and straight figure and clear eyebrows, coupled with his calm and unhurried attitude, he is an extremely dazzling presence in this noisy gathering.

The group of leaders who were originally arrogant and scrutinized unconsciously felt a little ashamed after seeing Su Yao.

The warriors who were looking at each other, although they were carrying heavy loads, their radiant appearance and bright and startling eyes were different from the warriors of their tribe.

What's more, they have never even seen the clothes and armor materials these people are wearing, and they are much better than what they are wearing.

Several people looked it over and came to the same conclusion in their hearts: "Try to be friends with them, and don't become enemies with them."

"I am the leader of the Youjiang tribe, and these are the leaders of several other tribes on the Youjiang plain." Jiang Benyuan introduced several other people one by one.

Jiang Benyuan was relieved to see that the attitude of the God Blessed Tribe was neither humble nor overbearing, and did not mean to be rude, and continued to arrange with a smile:

"Everyone is welcome to come from afar. Later, on behalf of the Youjiang Tribe, I will mark out a place for you to exchange in the market. I will also send someone to explain the rules of the assembly to you."

"Then I would like to thank Chief Jiang." Su Yao followed Jiang Benyuan and continued to the rally.

Along the way, the two were talking and testing each other's situation, while the leaders following Jiang Benyuan set their eyes on the supplies on the soldiers' backs.

They couldn't see the other resources tied together in animal skin bags, but the strings of nearly one-meter-long brown-red bacon with an attractive aroma were nothing ordinary at first glance. The eyes of these leaders fell on it. I can't take it off.

It's not that they haven't seen the world, it's just that there are not many such large prey on the Youjiang Plain, and they hunt and eat more small animals such as wild rabbits and wild birds.

Moreover, the Youjiang Plain is close to a big river, and the plain itself has an extremely developed water system. The extremely rich water resources mean that the aquatic reserves are also amazing. They are more likely to fish for food in the river, rather than go to the mountains to find large prey.

The heavy snow and frequent river winds in the cold winter have brought difficulties to their hunting. The tribe has not caught a large number of fresh fish for a long time.

After repeated trials with each other, Jiang Benyuan divided the Shenyou tribe into an area very close to the center of the assembly. The area was large enough to set up tents for thousands of people to rest.

"Thank you, Chief Jiang." After expressing his gratitude, Su Yao settled down in the place they allocated.

Jiang Benyuan and others left after arranging everything. They did not send many people to monitor them, nor did they have the hostility that Su Yao had imagined in advance.

"The situation is better than we expected." Su Yao looked at Zhongli with a smile.

When he just passed by, he found many things that he had never seen before, which surprised him very much.

Zhongli nodded: "They are not of the same mind, so Jiang Benyuan naturally wants to make friends with us when he finds that we are not hostile."

"That's true." Su Yao watched the soldiers set up tents quickly under the leadership of their respective captains, and then pulled Zhong Li to the rally.

When he first came in, he saw a tribe exchanging rapeseed, yes, it was the rapeseed used in modern oil extraction.

The rapeseed grains are much larger than the current ones, Su Yao is not sure if he is wrong, he can't wait to confirm it.

It was a small tribe. Every spring, a sea of ​​goose-yellow flowers bloomed around their tribe. After the flowers bloomed, the finger-length vegetable horns formed, and after drying, the black seed particles were peeled off.

They tried to cook these seeds and eat them. Although the taste is not very delicious, it can fill the stomach.And the leaves of this plant are very delicious when they are not mature enough to make soup.

So they consciously planted this kind of plant around the tribe, and then collected the particles before the cold winter, and named it 'Black Seed'.

There are dozens of pockets packed with black seeds, and their pockets are woven with a kind of vine-like fiber, which is densely packed and will not leak out.

Even the clothes they wear are woven out of this kind of vines. They are light and breathable when worn in summer, and the materials are easy to find.

"How to exchange this thing?" Su Yao reached out to touch the black seeds in his pocket after getting the consent of the stall owner, and after confirming that it was only a circle of big rapeseed, he asked about the exchanged resources.

The stall owner was also clever. After seeing Su Yao's big scene, he didn't ask Su Yao out of his mouth. Instead, he asked Su Yao: "What do you want to exchange?"

Su Yao looked at the rapeseed in several other pockets and smiled, "The high-quality jerky that is a special product of our tribe tastes pretty good. One bag of black seeds and six pieces of jerky, do you want to exchange them?"

The stall owner was obviously very moved by Su Yao's proposal, but he also knew that it would take a lot of resources to exchange such high-quality dried meat. He was just the leader of a small tribe, and he would exchange all the black seeds. Not much jerky, so not worth it.

After hesitating for a long time, the stall owner made a request: "Is there any food that is slightly cheaper than jerky and can fill your stomach."

Su Yao looked at this cool-headed stall owner and proposed another material: "We still have dried sweet potatoes in our tribe, a big bag like your pocket, which is enough to feed a family of five for fifteen days after cooking, two bags of black seeds For a bag of dried sweet potatoes, would you like to have a look?"

"Yes, of course." Su Yao's words made the stall owner overjoyed, but out of vigilance, he still proposed: "But you must transport the dried sweet potatoes to our tribe's venue for exchange."

"This is no problem." Su Yao replied, "Take a few bags that you used to hold the black seeds. Our tribe's animal skin bags are too small, and I'm afraid you will suffer."

Such bags are not rare, the stall owner turned around and asked people to take out more than a dozen.

Su Yao wasn't really afraid that the stall owner would suffer. In fact, the bags of the two families were about the same size, but the animal skin bags must be more expensive in today's Youjiang Plain, so Su Yao also had to save them.

Qing Shui brought thirty bags of dried sweet potatoes with the soldiers, and the stall owner set up a stone pot on the side fire in front of everyone, to verify whether the dried sweet potatoes were really what Su Yao said tube full.

However, Su Yao stopped him: "Your cooking speed is too slow, try mine."

A delicate pottery pot was placed on top of the fire, and after adding water, the pottery pot was steaming in a short while, and the speed was so fast that the people around couldn't help but be surprised.

The stall owner looked at the clay pot and wanted to grab it and hold it in his arms. If every household in the tribe had a pot like this, how much firewood would they have to save?

The water in the pot boiled, and the dried sweet potatoes slowly swelled with the tumbling of the water, from a thin slice to a slightly thicker piece of sweet potato. Seeing this, Su Yao peeled a few pieces from the bacon on the side and threw them into the into the pot.

The stall owner looked at Su Yao, who smiled and said, "Add a few pieces of bacon to it, it will taste better, and it will be more resistant to hunger."

The tribal assembly has been going on for two days, and the people at the assembly have nothing to do to come up to watch the situation.

After a while, the aroma came from the pottery pot, including the sweetness of sweet potatoes and the special meaty aroma of bacon.

The stall owner couldn't wait to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth without caring about it being hot. There was a lot of salt on the bacon. You can get the salty taste without adding anything in the pottery pot. The sweet potato slices were stained with the aroma of bacon. , with its own sweetness, the taste is wonderful.

"It's so good." The stall owner couldn't wait to praise after taking a bite.

If he changed to some bacon, he could save the tribe a lot of salt.

After making up his mind, the stall owner directly asked to exchange a little bacon, Su Yao and Zhong Li exchanged a look, tacit understanding.

Having exchanged hundreds of bags of rapeseed early in the morning, Su Yao was in a good mood and continued to pick and choose along the market.

And Jiang Benyuan and others who had been observing them not far away were also relieved, as long as the God Blessed Tribe didn't come to find fault.

As for the large amount of supplies exchanged by them, Jiang Benyuan and others sighed in their hearts. The heavy rains this summer halved their harvest, and the cold winter came too early, and their supplies were barely enough for the tribe to eat. Yes, where do so many exchanges come from?

Moreover, the God Blessed Tribe brought so many supplies to fill their stomachs, and they should take advantage of this opportunity to quickly exchange for some more to save until the deep winter just in case.

The deeply thoughtful Jiang Benyuan thought of this first, and found an excuse to leave in a hurry to discuss with the priests in the tribe. The leaders of other tribes also quickly realized that while scolding Jiang Benyuan for nothing, they acted normally.
