Chapter 52 Preparation before the transaction
"If you trade with other tribes, bacon is not enough. You have to bring more things, such as exquisite pottery."
Chen Bei used a stone carving knife to carve patterns on the pottery clay embryo, and said to Baicao.
The collection team is now only out once a week, and most of the time they are looking for new food seeds and various herbs that the witch needs.
For the rest of the time, Baicao will lead a collection team to help in the tribe, such as making pottery.
Some meticulous and patient life are more suitable for women in the tribe than those carefree men.
This is how you make pottery. You must not be impatient, you must be patient.
"The pottery we fire this time is not for ourselves, but for trading, so it must be beautiful and you want to buy it if you see it."
“Such as such.”
Chen Bei gently cut a few times on the mud with a carving knife, and the image of a bamboo appeared. Looking closely, there was a sense of vitality.
Chenbei used to practice carving when he was fine. After a long period of practice, he has achieved some success now.
Bai Cao looked at the mud in Chen Bei's hand enviously and said, "The leader is so powerful, and he is so beautiful."
Chen Bei smiled and said, "These simple patterns are actually not difficult. You just need to practice a few more times. You can do it in the future."
Chen Bei picked up another mud bowl of clay and put it on it.
"Although our skill in firing pottery is not as good as that of the carving tribe, our price is much lower, and the small tribe will definitely be more willing to buy our pottery."
Baicao said: "Chief, can you bring me this transaction with me? I heard that there are a lot of fruit trees in the tree tribe, and I want to see it."
Chen Bei didn't expect Baicao to make such a request. He thought about it and nodded in agreement. Baicao's strength is also good. When he went out, if he encountered an accident, he would be a powerful helper.
"Thank you, leader."
Baicao was very happy and even more attentive when making pottery.
Others looked at Baicao enviously. Tribes rarely travel far, and many people even spent their entire lives wandering around the tribe.
Because there are many unpredictable dangers when traveling far away, and the risks are very high. If it is not necessary, they dare not run around.
Chen Bei carved half of the clay and left the rest to others to practice. He could not often spend a lot of time doing these things, so it is very important to let others learn it.
"You guys keep doing it here, I'll go somewhere else to see."
Chen Bei stood up, left the small workshop where the pottery was made, and walked towards another corner of the tribe.
He came to a house, and the door was not closed, so he walked in.
In the house, a middle-aged man was holding a fish tooth and piercing the tool.
He was surrounded by an animal skin skirt, full of white powder, and his hands were covered with powder, looking dirty.
Next to him was a wooden plate, with more than a dozen fish teeth pierced with holes inside, each of which was as big as an adult's finger and was very sharp.
These fish teeth are from carnivorous fish caught in the river. They are huge, have large teeth and are sharp, making them very suitable for use as jewelry.
Tribes like to hang decorations such as animal teeth or horns on their bodies, the more fierce it looks, the better.
This middle-aged man is the bone instrument master who specializes in bone instruments in the Mang tribe. Just like the stone instrument master who specializes in stone instruments, the bone instrument master who specializes in bone instruments.
For example, various bone tools such as bone knives, bone spears, and various jewelry made of animal teeth or horns.
The bone tool master put on the holes of the last fish teeth, then string them together with thin animal skins and turned them into a fish teeth necklace.
After finishing it, the bone tool master raised his head and realized that Chen Bei had come at some point and looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Head...Chief, when did you come?" The bone instrument master was a little nervous because he obviously neglected the leader.
Chen Bei smiled and said, "It's not long after you came here. You continue to be busy with yours. Don't worry about me, I'll just come and take a look."
The bone tool master picked up a fish teeth necklace and said, "Chief, as you told me, I have made many bone ornaments, as well as practical things such as bone needles, to trade with other tribes."
Chen Bei looked through it and nodded, "No, the production is very exquisite, so that our trading products will be more. Thank you for your hard work."
The bone tool master hurriedly said, "For the tribe, don't work hard."
After reading it, Chen Bei said, "You keep busy with yours, I'll leave first. If this transaction goes well, you will be able to make more bone tools in the future. Don't worry, the tribe will not treat you badly and will give you corresponding rewards."
The bone instrument master said, "Chief, the tribe gives me food, clothes, and builds a house for me. I am already very satisfied and I don't have to pay any compensation."
Chenbeidao: "If you contribute to the tribe, the tribe will reward you. Don't worry, no one dares to say anything you have obtained based on your own abilities."
Chen Bei left after he finished speaking. The bone tool master stood there. After a long time, he sat down with a look of emotion and said, "It's a lucky thing to meet such a leader."
The bone instrument master continued to polish the bone decoration, and there was a smile on his face.
Time flies, and at the end of the first month of autumn, the trading team of the Mang Tribe who heads to the Shu Tribe is finally ready to set off!
There are more than fifty people in the trading team, all of which are totem warriors, among which Yun, Baicao and others set out with the team.
Lie, with the rest of the totem warriors, stayed in the tribe. Although the tribe is protected by the totem god, it is impossible for him to rely on the totem god in everything.
The necessary protective power is still necessary.
In addition to people, Chenbei also took away ten strongest rhinos. These rhinos can carry a large amount of goods and come and go freely in the mountains and forests, which is an important support for the trading team.
Chen Bei checked the goods on the rhino's back, including bacon and smoked fish, fired pottery, various bone jewelry, as well as some more special things in the Mang tribe.
"Check it carefully, have you brought all the things?" Chen Bei asked loudly to everyone.
"Bring them all!" Everyone answered after checking.
"Okay!" Chen Bei turned to look at Qingzhu in the crowd and nodded at her.
Qingzhu walked out of the crowd. Wherever she went, the crowd immediately separated, lowered her head and kept her attitude respectful.
Qingzhu walked to the trading team and said, "The Totem God will bless you and wish you a triumphant return!"
Chenbei Road: "Go!"
"Moo!"
The Rhino King roared with his neck and walked forward first. The rest of the rhino followed one after another, and the trading team officially set off.
Chapter completed!
