Chapter 133 Conflict and Transaction
After entering the central area of the Youxiong Tribe's settlement, Chenbei saw a huge stone with a huge barbarian bear carved on it, spreading its claws, roaring to the sky, revealing its sharp fangs.
It was at this time that Chen Bei realized that the totem god of the Youxiong tribe turned out to be a powerful barbarian bear.
Chen Bei touched the bone knife on his waist. Fortunately, he had made a scabbard of animal skin and put it on, but no one noticed it all the way.
Chen Bei thought about it, and finally put the bone knife quietly into the animal skin bag on the rhino king's back, and then changed a stone knife with a scabbard hanging on his waist.
After all, his bone knife was made of the arm bone of the barbarian bear, and the totem god of the Bear Tribe is the barbarian bear. If people recognize the material of the knife, then the people of the Bear Tribe will definitely not be happy.
So he put it in advance and did not let people see it. This is to prevent problems before they happen and avoid unpleasant events.
When going out to trade with other tribes, you must do these details well and respect other people's beliefs. Otherwise, not only will the transaction be ruined, but it will also cause unnecessary trouble.
After arriving at the central area, the rhino and totem warriors of the Mang tribe were left in the open space next to the big stone, and Chenbei was taken by Kui to the stone house where the leader of the Youxiong tribe lived.
"Chief, this is Chen, the leader of the Mang tribe. They brought a lot of goods and wanted to trade with our tribe."
The leader of the Youxiong tribe is very tall, with a real tiger-backed and bear-waisted waist, and has dark skin. He is a lively black bear and has become a sperm.
"Captain Chen, welcome you to the Youxiong Tribe. I am the leader of the Youxiong Tribe, ah."
He called Chen Bei into the room, then took out a meat and fruit to entertain him, and the two of them ate and chatted.
While chatting, Ao told Chenbei the origin of his name.
The name Ao is said to be when his mother gave birth to him, so she gave him this name.
Tribal people generally choose names casually. What they see, hear, or think of, may directly determine their children's name.
After listening to it, Chen Bei praised it as a good name, which was very powerful when he heard it, which made the leader of the Youxiong Tribe very helpful.
After chatting, I asked Chenbeidao: "Go and see the goods you brought."
"good."
The two stood up and walked towards the huge totem stone.
In the open space next to the totem stone, the totem warriors of the Mang Tribe had been waiting for a long time. Several of them actually started to gesture with the totem warriors of the Youxiong Tribe.
Chenbei saw at a glance that one of them was red flowers.
"What's going on?"
He walked over and scolded him dissatisfiedly.
Kui explained from the side: "Chief, we are just having fun, who is competing for more strength?"
"Bang!"
As soon as Kui finished speaking, the low-level totem warrior who was gestured to Honghua was knocked to the ground by Honghua. His face was full of shock. He never expected that he would lose to the woman.
Ao's face became darker, and he angrily shouted: "Stop it all."
The totem warriors of the Bear Tribe retreated to the side, and the totem warrior who was knocked down by the red flower wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it.
Chen Bei pulled Honghua aside and whispered: "What's going on?"
Honghua said calmly: "They look down on our Mang tribe and say that the totem warriors in our tribe are not as powerful as them and are not as strong as them, so I will show them."
Chen Bei nodded. This is common. It is normal for the totem warriors of the Youxiong Tribe to look down on people from the small tribe. As long as there is no accident in a fight, it is nothing.
The communication between tribes is often based on fists, proving that one's own strength can gain the respect of the other party.
He looked at Honghua and then said to Chenbei: "Captain Chen, they were just having fun, let me see your goods?"
I gently exposed what happened just now, but my attitude towards Chenbei also changed some subtle changes.
Chen Bei turned to Yun and said, "Put out the goods."
"yes!"
Yun took the man to unload part of the goods on the rhino, and then unloaded several simple folding wooden tables and placed the goods on the folding wooden table.
The structure of this folding wooden table is actually very simple. It was made by Chenbei based on the appearance of street stall tables in his previous life and was convenient to carry.
After the folding wooden table is opened, lay the animal skins and place the goods on it.
People from the Bear Tribe also became interested in this kind of folding wooden table, but they were just interested and had no intention of asking for it.
There are many kinds of pottery, bone utensils, jewelry, tools, and tools on the wooden table, and there are a wide variety.
"I didn't expect that your tribe actually brought so many goods."
Ao's impression of the Mang tribe changed again, and he even wondered whether this was a small tribe.
Chen Bei smiled and said, "Our tribe often goes out to trade with other tribes. We do whatever others need. Over time, there will naturally be more goods."
Ao picked up a clay pot, looked carefully, and said, "It's a good thing, it's a thick thing, not like the Diao Tribe, it's so thin and expensive."
Ao was a little dissatisfied with the thin pottery of the Diao Tribe. He thought that it was a sign of cutting corners, but he didn't know that it was not easy to make the pottery thin.
The Youxiong Tribe does not know how to make pottery. They don’t like the thin things that seem to break when touched. They like the thick pottery like the Mang Tribe.
Chen Bei smiled and said, "The pottery in the Diao Tribe is indeed thin and expensive. Our Mang Tribe is different. We make it strong and the price is fair."
"Captain Ao, come to see this pottery, a three-legged pottery cauldron, which is large and thick, and can be used to cook food. It is much better than a stone pot, and you will definitely like it."
Chen Bei took the opportunity to recommend the Tao Ding again.
Sure enough, Ao showed a strong interest in the pottery. This large and thick pottery was obviously a good thing, which conforms to the aesthetic standards of the Youxiong Tribe.
"Very good, what kind of pottery cauldron, I want it. What do you want to do to trade? Even if we say, animal skins, animal flesh, animal bones, and animal teeth, we have them."
Chenbeidao: "Captain Ao, I want to exchange some honey with this pottery cauldron. Do you think it's OK?"
"Honey……"
The leader Ao frowned slightly. Honey is a holy product in the Youxiong Tribe. Everyone likes it. It is in short supply. He is really reluctant to take it out for a transaction.
However, he also liked this pottery. Moreover, considering that it is already summer and there are more flowers, it will not take long to get the honey again after cutting it. After thinking about it, I still agreed.
"Okay, ten kilograms of honey, how about changing to a pottery cauldron?" Ao asked tentatively.
Chen Bei pointed to the Tao Ding and said, "Captain Ao, look, this pottery is so big and so heavy, it is not easy to make it. Ten kilograms of honey is too small."
The frown frowned even deeper, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Twenty kilograms of honey, you can't get more, otherwise we'd better trade with something else."
He is not good at doing business or bargaining, but he also has an advantage. He directly calls out the price he can accept and does not give the other party room to bargain, so that he can accept it whether it is a loss or a profit.
Chen Bei sighed and said, "Okay, I'll suffer a little loss, just make a friend, twenty kilograms of honey, and make a deal."
