Chapter 257 Gifts

After leaving the military camp in the North District, Hua Xi and Bai Zhan came to the market in the south in the opposite direction.

As a large market of the Changyang tribe, it can fully accommodate and provide enough space for the city and the surrounding peoples to trade here.

It's just the time to go to the market. Many craftsmen and farmers have found a good place to sell the goods they sell on street stalls for the daily necessities they need, just as soon as Hua Xi came in, he saw the crowds of people and bargaining quarrels. The shouts kept giving Hua Xi a feeling of returning to China. The markets in the two places seem to be equal, and the germination of business is growing vigorously.

Hua Xi and Bai Zhan Zouma were wandering around the market and read all the goods in the market.

There are many types of goods, mainly made of wood and stone tools and items obtained from hunting. The main products are stone axes, stone hoes, stone mills; pottery bowls, pottery jars and other pottery products; linen, cloth clothes, bamboo slips; animal meat, fish, skins, animal bones; wine, millet, rice, wheat, semen, hemp, fruits and vegetables; horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs, etc., the price is quite high. A bag of rice is sold for 2 copper coins, and a bag of wheat is 1.8 copper (one bag is put in your hand and weighs it, it is estimated to be only 2 or 3 pounds). A cheap ordinary horse used for transportation is also sold for up to 300 copper.

Judging from the grains and grains, Shennong did have an indescribable impact on mankind, as in history, without Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs, those mountainous areas with barren and water-deficient land may not be able to live in people (it seems that Australia, the ancestors of the mainland American race also migrated from Asia) Like many tribes that Hua Xi has seen, copper coins can be used here, or equivalent items can be exchanged with the people temporarily called "merchants".

Hua Xi walked to a farmer selling rice, leaned over and took a spoonful of rice with his hand and took a closer look. The rice body was white and the grains were full, which was good!

"Brother! Why does this rice cost so much for 2 copper coins?" Hua Xi remembered that some of the northerner's words were probably like this, and they did the same on TV. He asked in some uncertain voices.

But he hit him with cow shit. Although the father-in-law didn't know much about the word "女", he understood it. After looking at Hua Xi's clothes, he sighed and said, "Oh, uncle! You shouldn't be a local?"

Hua Xi nodded

"You don't know that last year our tribe and Xuanyuan tribe fought, and the food has doubled by one or two times. Fortunately, we have been doing good weather here all year round, and there is no shortage of food recently, so the price has dropped. If you buy food from other places, it will be two or three times more expensive than this."

Hua Xi nodded, and had a plan in his mind. Maybe he could start his business with Shang here and gradually attract the attention of Yan Emperor. In the future, the three tribes of Yanhuang and Chiyou competed in the Central Plains. They played together in this ancient mysterious scroll. It would be good.

The market transaction price is floating, so the profits are naturally of different levels. There is naturally room for operating prices. The premise is that you must have enough capital to control the entire market and suppress competitive opponents. Otherwise, this manipulation of prices is in vain. At most, it is to make a few small money by working hard.

In the market area near the handicraft workshop, dozens of ethnic groups actually purchased various raw materials and marked the price. It can be said that it is clear and real price, and it is not deceptive.

"Brother, what are you doing to collect that animal bone?" Hua Xi saw a sign saying "Purchase animal bones, exchange for 1 copper for ten kilograms..." and said strangely.

Since Hua Xi's clothes were obviously high-end, (joke, can the clothes of the lord of a country be animal skins?) he responded in a flattering manner: "Sir, this animal bone can be processed into a weapon, sold to the army and wizards who can be sent to the ancestral temple. I heard that it can be used to make magical medicines that can be resurrected!"

Hua Xi now understands it. It seems that Shennong does have more knowledge than many tribes of the same period, and the richness of goods and the circulation of trade are also relatively higher.

Hua Xi chatted with the guy for a while and learned that this place was a purchase point for the workshop owners of the city or some large tribes. They were workers sent by the workshop owners to be responsible for daily acquisitions.

The purchase price and acquisition quantity of these buyers are also slightly different. 10 kilograms of fish are exchanged for 23 copper coins, 60 kilograms of wood is exchanged for 0.91 copper coins, 50 kilograms of stone is exchanged for 0.91 copper coins, 1 kilogram of silver ore (or a raw ore with many impurities) is exchanged for 0.91 copper coins, 5 kilograms of copper ore is exchanged for 0.91 copper coins, 5 kilograms of copper ore is exchanged for 0.91 copper coins.

Hua Xi brought not many things, a few exquisite small porcelains, and the Park Knife on her body, the telescope and the bronze Knife on her body

Apart from the three small porcelains, it is probably only the cloth clothes you wear on your body. As for telescopes and weapons, they are the foundation of "staying alive". Without these things, I guess I don't know how to resist when I meet a few bad guys on the road. Although Hua Xi is good at martial arts, and there is a hundred battles, she suffers a lot of losses after all. This is a bit like in the game. When the advanced id takes off all the equipment, even when facing a low-level id of level 20 or 30, she will only be beaten.

As powerful as the later generations, armed police soldiers may die at any time when facing three or four fierce criminals with swords. Hua Xi naturally would not think that the 100-match wars are more likely to be able to hold TV than armed police soldiers. In novels and movies, how can the protagonist beat a group of swordsmans with bare hands and fists to a big blow? Hua Xi has watched too much, but in reality, he did not find such a person. Even if the special forces soldiers faced several armed murderers, they probably only had to escape. Of course, the premise is that these criminals are cold-blooded and desperate, otherwise they will run away after a few hits. Of course, the rest is only the ones who are captured.

At this time, the little official who had left found Hua Xi and the others again: "Oh, you two, let me have a good meal! It turns out that it is here, haha--"

Hua Xi hurriedly greeted him with a haha. At the end, Hua Xi took out one of the porcelain from his arms and put it in front of him, and said, "I left in a hurry just now, forgot to present this thing to the chief. Look--"

Just when I saw that lifelike tiger, like a porcelain tiger descending the mountain looking at all beasts, the little official's eyes almost fell out, and even claimed to be good.

"Sir, please rest assured. I will definitely give you this gift to the chief. This tiger is so... so... so vivid!" The clerk kept stroking the porcelain tiger. He seemed to be very fond of Hua Xi. The title of Hua Xi was also promoted from the patriarch to the chief.

Seeing this, Hua Xi winked at Bai Zhan. The two of them pulled the clerk to a secluded corner next to him, and Hua Xi took out a small porcelain from his arms that was half smaller than the tiger, but it was a rooster.

"Sir, this northward migration flow has been lost, so the only 'rooster' can give it to you," Hua Xi said respectfully.

"Ah, this, this..." Xiaoli stuttered several times in a row, and it was obvious that he was excited to make such exquisite porcelain with a craftsmanship. Even the Tao King, who was famous all over the world, could not make the rays of the flashes and crimson that were transmitted from the porcelain body. It was not something that ordinary people could make. In Xiaoli's impression, even if the Tao King might only make the same pottery with a similar expression, it was a bit impossible to make the pottery body so radiant and colorful.

Hua Xi laughed secretly, how could he know that this is porcelain, which is calcined at a higher temperature than pottery.

The reason why I gave a porcelain to the little official was that Hua Xi threw a stone to ask for the value of this porcelain in the tribe, so she sighed and said, "Oh, although I have joined the tribe now, I am penniless. Not to mention recruiting slaves from the tribe, even tomorrow's life will probably be a problem."

When the little official heard this, he was shocked, and then laughed: "Haha, sir, don't worry about your pottery exquisite workmanship, it's the best, many chiefs and slave owners like it very much. As long as the opportunity is right, it's not too difficult to sell it at a good price." After that, the little official pondered for a while and stuffed the 'rooster' in his hand back to Hua Xi, saying something like that... but Hua Xi looked at his arm as if he couldn't stretch it out. If he wanted to get the porcelain back, he would probably have to take a step forward.

"Hey, sir, why are you looking down on me, a foreigner? Isn't you willing to make friends with me?" Hua Xi said seriously as if he was angry and angry.

"No, no!" When will the little official's methods catch up with Hua Xi? Seeing that Hua Xi seemed really angry, he hurriedly said

"Sir, please accept my little thoughts. Hua Xi is deeply honored!"

"Since that's the case, I'll accept it. Brother is really ashamed!" The title changed again, from adult to elder brother, it seemed even more intimate.

The reason why we repeatedly send porcelain to the minor officials is that Hua Xi actually has a deep meaning as the saying goes, "A strong dragon does not suppress local snakes, and blind men must have blind men bamboo."

Although the little official in front of him is not very good, he looks like a ghostly person. I believe he is also a well-versed person in this Changyang tribe who can enter the aristocratic class and serves as the "Court". If he doesn't have some skills, he will at least have some background. If he has someone to protect him, he will not be like a blind man and he will know if there is any taboo in the Changyang tribe. If he bumps into him one day, he will be really a dumb person.

However, before the little official could carefully appreciate the porcelain in his arms, another soldier came to report that several tribes in the near Tianshui tribe (the great chief tribe, where the Chu tribe is located) were about to migrate and asked the little official to come over to take over.
