Chapter 204 Money is a good thing(2/2)
As for whether it is a "coin", most people currently don't care. They value practicality more.
Therefore, a crowd gathered outside the house at the entrance to the trading area. Most people wanted to watch the excitement, but some people really wanted to exchange a few sword coins to see if the blade was sharp and useful.
"Everyone, don't crowd around the door. Those who want to exchange knife coins should line up. Those who don't want to exchange for the time being can stand aside and take a look."
Jiang Xuan waved to the soldiers of the Vine Tribe Guards, and dozens of Vine Tribe soldiers immediately pushed the crowd away and cleared an open space.
Afterwards, those who wanted to trade stood in the open space one by one and lined up in a row under the guidance of the Vine Tribe warriors.
The first person to exchange knife coins is the leader of the frog tribe, Huo Meng.
As the leader of the affiliated tribe of the Vine Tribe, since the Vine Tribe has launched the knife coin, he must strongly support it, not to mention that the knife coin is indeed very beautiful, and Huo Meng is very interested.
"Boom!"
Huo Meng placed an animal skin bag on the table, then opened the mouth of the bag, revealing the animal teeth inside, and said to Jiang Xuan: "Chief Teng, how many coins can these animal teeth be exchanged for?"
Jiang Xuan said to the soldiers on the side: "Pour it out and count it."
"yes!"
The soldier immediately poured out all the tusks and sorted them one by one. Some tusks were larger, some were smaller, some were of good quality, and some were of poor quality. They had to be sorted out.
After sorting, Jiang Xuan estimated the value of the animal teeth based on their size and appearance.
In fact, although Huo Meng brought many animal teeth, due to the limited strength of the Frog tribe, most of the animals they hunted were ordinary beasts. These animal teeth were just ordinary animal teeth. Although they were large in number, their value was not high.
After the estimation was completed, Jiang Xuan said to Huo Meng: "Chief Huo Meng, these beast teeth can be exchanged for eight small knife coins."
Huo Meng was stunned, because the small knife coin in Jiang Xuan's hand was too small. With so many beast teeth, couldn't he even exchange for a big knife coin?
Jiang Xuan guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled and said: "Chief Huo Meng, don't underestimate these eight small knife coins. They can be exchanged for two large bags of food, or you can also exchange them for salt, pottery and other things."
Huo Meng's eyes lit up and he said, "Then change it for me right away."
Jiang Xuan smiled, then counted out eight small knife coins and handed them to Huo Meng.
“Ding dong dong dong…”
Huo Meng tossed the coins a few times, listened to their crisp sound, and then walked towards the trading area with the coins.
Next, many outsiders and tourists who trusted the Teng tribe came to Jiang Xuan with various things to exchange for small knife coins.

Because they were poor, they did not dare to gamble with the goods they had finally obtained. They all wanted to see if others could really buy goods in the trading area after taking the knife coins.
…
In the trading area, Huo Meng held eight small knife coins and looked at them over and over while walking towards the shop.
He looked at the various shops, hesitated for a moment, and then walked into the grain and salt shop.
"Welcome, leader Huo Meng, what do you want to buy?"
Dong Kui followed Jiang Xuanjiao's words and enthusiastically welcomed today's first guest.
Huo Meng looked at the knife coin in his hand, then at the salt jar in the shop, and asked: "How to trade salt?"
"Chief Huo Meng, three small knife coins can be exchanged for a pound of salt."
"How much is a pound of salt?"
Huo Meng had never heard of the unit of weight "jin", so he was a little confused.
Magnolia picked up a steelyard, then filled a small animal skin bag with half a bag of salt and put it on the scale pan. When she moved the weight rope to the "one catty" position, the scale steel rose rapidly.
Magnolia used a small shovel to scoop out some salt from the animal skin bag, and weighed it twice more until the scale beam remained balanced.
Huo Meng watched her operation with a blank expression, not knowing what she was doing.
Fortunately, after Magnolia finished weighing, she immediately explained to him with a steel scale.
"Chief Huo Meng, this thing is called a steelyard. It was made by our leader and can be used to weigh goods."
"Look, if we put the salt on the scale and slide the weight, we can know the weight of the salt. For example, if the weight slides to this position, it means one catty, and this position means two catties..."
After Dong Kui finished explaining, she handed the salt in the small animal skin bag to Huo Meng and said, "Here is a pound of salt. You can buy it with three small knives."
