Chapter 118: Primitive Trade
Under Han Cheng's deliberate arrangent, the Green Sparrow Tribe significantly impacted the tribes that ca this ti.
Their biggest impression of the Green Sparrow Tribe was affluence and generosity. Besides, the delicious food left a lasting impression.
The astonishing herds of deer and fish might evoke envy, but these required skills to obtain. However, the irresistibly delicious food was a different story.
Although this way of eating was novel, it was easy to learn. All they needed to do was add water to the things the Green Sparrow Tribe called "pots" or "jars" and cook them over the fire.
During the leisure ti of the festive gathering, the leaders of these tribes exchanged thoughts on this matter with the Eldest Senior Brother.
The Eldest Senior Brother responded that he couldn't decide on this matter. He needed to consult the Shaman and the Divine Child.
Regarding this, the leaders of these tribes felt sympathetic towards the Eldest Senior Brother. In their tribes, there was no Shaman, let alone a Divine Child. In their tribes, what they said was what it was. Unlike the Eldest Senior Brother, who, despite being a leader, couldn't decide many things.
However, when they learned that the Green Sparrow Tribe could live so well, all thanks to the Divine Child, their sympathy imdiately beca envy.
Han Cheng was not surprised after hearing the Eldest Senior Brother's words. The reason he made a big show of providing these people with food was not just to showcase the affluence of the Green Sparrow Tribe and make them desire such a lifestyle but also to use pottery to exchange goods with them.
The Green Sparrow Tribe's main food source is fish, supplented by wild vegetables. Due to most people being engaged in construction, hunting activities were rare, so there was little ga at.
Han Cheng wanted to take this opportunity to let the surrounding tribes witness the benefits of pottery. By greatly increasing the value of pottery, he could then use it to exchange for so food.
After more than a year of continuous developnt, coupled with the extraordinary talent of Hei Wa in pottery making, the pottery-making technology of the Green Sparrow Tribe had grown considerably.
For the current Green Sparrow Tribe, making pottery was not difficult. Compared to hunting, making pottery was much more stable and secure.
Han Cheng believed that it was very feasible to use this kind of pottery in exchange for food from other tribes.
He told the Eldest Senior Brother about this idea and asked him to convey it to the tribes' leaders who wanted pottery.
The leader of the Green Tribe was the cleverest. After hearing the Eldest Senior Brother's words, he imdiately took out half of the food they had brought this ti. Then, he hurriedly ca to the large pot used for cooking, placed the food there, and gestured that he wanted that.
This food was originally prepared to be eaten this ti. Due to the Green Sparrow Tribe's managent of als, it had been saved. Now, using this food to exchange for the Green Sparrow Tribe's pottery, especially the largest pot, was shaless.
Having witnessed the shalessness of the Green Tribe's leader, the Eldest Senior Brother took action. He took a dium-sized pottery bowl from the side and placed it next to the food brought out by the leader of the Green Tribe, indicating that this food could only be exchanged for such a bowl.
Ignoring the black ash outside the pottery bowl, the leader of the Green Tribe, who clung to the large pot and refused to let go, saw the Eldest Senior Brother's actions, and his smiling face imdiately froze.
He began to bargain with the Eldest Senior Brother.
The Eldest Senior Brother was also a person who had seen big scenes and had received instructions from the Divine Child. Naturally, he started bargaining without showing any weakness.
After a round of bargaining, the leader of the Green Tribe took out the remaining half of the food, piled it up here, and then patted the large pot.
Eldest Senior Brother continued shaking his head. He took away the dium-sized pottery bowl and picked up a large pottery bowl, placing it over the food brought out by the leader of the Green Tribe. This indicated that the food could only be exchanged for this large-sized bowl.
After a primitive round of bargaining, the leader of the Green Tribe had to accept the price set by the Eldest Senior Brother.
They exchanged the food for a large pottery bowl.
With this precedent, the leaders of the other tribes also began to take out three-quarters of their food to exchange with the Green Sparrow Tribe.
The leaders of the Donkey Tribe and Sheep Tribe brought relatively less food, exchanging it for a dium-sized bowl.
The people from the Bone Tribe brought more food due to their larger numbers, so they exchanged three-quarters of their food for a small pottery jar.
The Shaman looked at the pile of food obtained through exchanging three bowls and a small jar, and his eyes widened in astonishnt. He didn't expect that these common pottery items in their tribe could be exchanged for so much food.
Han Cheng wasn't particularly surprised by this. After all, among these tribes, pottery was exclusive to the Green Sparrow Tribe. Although these people might have been indifferent to pottery without understanding its enormous utility, once they experienced its benefits firsthand, it beca challenging for them to refuse.
Han Cheng naturally understood the imnse benefits of monopolizing a business in the modern world.
Of course, considering the free als provided during this festive gathering and the gift of salted fish, the Green Sparrow Tribe incurred significant losses. However, when considering other aspects, the gains were imnse. As the pottery trade unfolded, the food spent during this event could be quickly recovered.
They probably thought free als were always this delicious.
A certain Divine Child stood proudly at the entrance of the Green Sparrow Tribe, watching the departing tribes with the joy of a cat that successfully stole a fish.
A sense of satisfaction from bullying primitive people rose and lingered in his mind.
However, his appearance, covered in animal skins, lowered the impressiveness of the scene by several levels.
Apart from these two matters, another thing surprised these leaders.
The chief of the Pig Tribe led the people of the Pig Tribe to join the Green Sparrow Tribe.
After learning why the Pig Tribe joined the Green Sparrow Tribe, these leaders fell sowhat silent.
This silence was more about worrying that a powerful and evil tribe had appeared nearby and being thankful that such a tribe had not attacked their tribes. Only a small part of it was sympathy for the fate of the Pig Tribe.
After returning to their senses from this annoying matter, these leaders gradually discovered that the neighboring tribe before them had beco unexpectedly powerful.
Their strength was not originally the strongest among the nearby tribes; the Bone Tribe held that position.
However, after absorbing ten people, including the chief, from the Pig Tribe, the number of adults in the Green Sparrow Tribe was now approaching that of the originally most powerful Bone Tribe.
In this era, without dazzling magic and qi, without firearms, the number of adults often represented the strength of a tribe.
Especially after learning that the Green Sparrow Tribe had repelled the evil tribe, their astonishnt grew even more.
Because, from the Eldest Senior Brother's mouth, they learned about the strength of that evil tribe.
With such formidable power, the tribe before them should be difficult to resist.
However, after the Eldest Senior Brother led them out of the tribe and went east to see the nurous bones that hadn't been completely burned even after the raging fire, their suspicions imdiately vanished.
