Chapter 225: Things brought by the expedition team(1/2)

The delicacies of the Teng tribe incorporate the rich experience brought by Jiang Xuan in his previous life, and can be said to be full of color, aroma and taste.
I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Karasuba has eaten the food of the Fuji tribe, and when he thinks about the food of other tribes, the gap is really huge.
In this primitive world, the living conditions of tribal people are too poor.
When eating enough is a problem, most people have no time to think about how to make food delicious.
What they think about most every day is how to fill their stomachs and how to survive. As for whether it tastes good or not, that is something they will only consider after they have no worries about food.
After drinking and eating, Wu Yu looked at the empty pottery basin and pottery tripod, touched his stomach, and smiled sheepishly at Jiang Xuan.
"The food of your Vine Tribe is so delicious that I finished it by accident."
Jiang Xuan smiled understandingly and said, "Chief Wuyu, just eat enough."
"By the way, I just saw a lot of people doing transactions with golden knives. What are they?"
Karasuba is very observant. As soon as he entered the trading area, he found that many people were carrying golden knives. Some people held them carelessly in their hands, while others put them in animal skin bags and covered them.
After entering this inn, Karasuba saw many people directly exchanging golden knives for food or staying in it.
"That's called a knife coin. It's a knife made of special stone by our Vine Tribe. In the trading area of ​​our Vine Tribe, as long as the knife coin is enough, it can be exchanged for all goods."
"Can I get all the goods?"
Karasuba was surprised. He had been traveling among various tribes doing transactions for a long time, and he knew all too well the disadvantages of bartering.
Under the barter transaction method, both parties to the transaction must exactly need the other party's goods, otherwise it will be difficult to conclude a transaction.
If there is something that can be exchanged for all goods, it will bring great convenience to transactions.
Jiang Xuan replied affirmatively: "Yes, as long as you are in the Vine Tribe trading area, the sword coins can be exchanged for all the goods. There is no guarantee that you will be able to exchange them for all the goods outside the trading area."
Karasuba exclaimed: "Even if you can only exchange all the goods in the trading area, it is still very impressive."
Wu Yu looked at Jiang Xuan with burning eyes and said: "Leader Xuan, can you show me that sword coin?"
"sure."
Jiang Xuan generously took out a large knife coin and a small knife coin from the animal skin bag he carried with him, and handed them to Wu Yu.
These two sword coins have not been opened or used, and are in very good condition.
Karasuba observed it carefully and felt that there was nothing special except the material.
In fact, the hardness of knife coins is relatively high. Although they are sharp, they are easy to break and chip. You must be very careful during use.
Apart from its practicality, the biggest reason why Knife Coin can circulate is that it is guaranteed by the strength and credit of the entire Vine Tribe.
When everyone knows that this item can be exchanged for goods as long as it is brought to the Vine Tribe, and the Vine Tribe will never refuse it, it can be circulated within a certain range.
The stronger the Vine Tribe, the wider its sphere of influence, and the wider the circulation range of sword coins.
On the contrary, if the Vine tribe weakens or is even wiped out one day, the circulation scope of sword coins will be greatly reduced or even stopped.
Although Karasuba is smart, he is limited by his knowledge and does not know the secret behind it.
Therefore, he only thinks that the knife coin is beautiful and a good thing, but he does not understand why it circulates.
"Leader Xuan, I want to trade some sword coins with your Teng tribe. Do you think that's okay?"
Karasuba is a businessman. When he first saw this kind of shining golden sword coin, he knew that the people from the big tribe would definitely like it.
As long as he brings the sword coins to other big tribes, he will definitely make a lot of money.
"Of course, but the sword coins of our Vine Tribe are very valuable."
"It doesn't matter, we can exchange it with other goods. We have brought a lot of good goods this time. Leader Xuan will definitely like it."
"Really? Then I have to take a good look."
Jiang Xuan and Wu Yu walked and chatted, left the inn, and came to an open space in the trading area.
"Go and bring the goods over."
Wu Yu gave an order, and the warriors immediately went outside the Vine Tribe, where the black-toothed birds stayed, to move the goods.
This time, they brought a lot of goods, and they unloaded part of each type and moved them to the trading area of ​​the Vine Tribe.
After the goods were moved, Wu Yu opened the animal skin bag and began to introduce the good goods they brought to Jiang Xuan.
"Leader Xuan, I know you like seeds, so I specially collected a lot of edible plant seeds this time."
Karasuba picked up a dry melon and said, "This is called lightning melon. It grows on vines and is especially sweet when ripe."
The Lightning Melon is spherical in shape, with dark green skin and many lightning patterns on it.
The lightning melon that Karasuba brought was about the size of a soup pot. It looked like it had been picked for a long time and the water had been completely dried in the sun.
Jiang Xuan took the dry lightning melon and shook it. He could hear a lot of seeds shaking inside, as if it was filled with gravel.
Wu Yu pointed at the lightning melon and said to Jiang Xuan: "There are many seeds in this lightning melon. Exchange it for ten sword coins!"
"Ten pieces? No, no, no!"
Jiang Xuan put down the dried lightning melon and waved to Wu Yu.
"How many sword coins does Leader Xuan want to exchange for the seeds of this lightning melon?"
"We don't know whether the seeds of this lightning melon can survive growing. And you said it's delicious, but we haven't eaten it yet."
Jiang Xuan showed two fingers and said: "I will use two sword coins at most to make this deal with you."
Wu Yu said in embarrassment: "Chief Xuan, two sword coins are too few. It is not easy for us to collect the seeds all the way and transport them here."
"I know it's not easy for you, otherwise I would at most give you a small knife coin..."
The two sides bargained for a while, and finally, Jiang Xuan exchanged three small knife coins for the seeds of the lightning melon.
"The second kind of goods, we finally brought it here. Leader Xuan must like it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Karasuba took out a large bulging animal skin bag and opened it. It turned out to be a sapling with soil inside.
"This is a honey leaf tree. Does Leader Xuan still remember the molasses we traded last time?"
"Of course I remember."
During the last transaction, Karasuba brought a kind of white honey, which was very sweet. It was said to be made by a kind of honey worm.
"Honey is produced after honey bugs eat the leaves of honey leaf trees."
Jiang Xuan looked at this honey leaf tree curiously. He did smell a sweet smell on the tree.
"Where are the honeybugs?"
Jiang Xuan searched for a while, but found no honey bugs.
If there were no honey worms, the honey leaf tree alone wouldn’t be able to produce sugar. You couldn’t just pick the leaves and boil them, right?
Wu Yu smiled, pointed to a small hole in the tree trunk, and said, "All the honey bugs are here."
After Jiang Xuan looked carefully, he found that there were many small holes like this on the tree trunks. There was some dark brown solidified liquid at the entrance of the holes, which should be sugar.
Karasuba explained: "Every autumn, adult honey bugs will drill holes in trees to lay eggs. These eggs will not hatch until the following spring."
"If we bring adult honeybugs here directly, they will easily die on the road, so we wait for the honeybugs to lay their eggs and then dig up the trees together."
"However, Chief Xuan, we are only responsible for bringing the honey leaf tree and insect eggs. As for whether the honey leaf tree can be planted and whether the insect eggs can hatch, we are not responsible."
Jiang Xuandao: "Of course you are not responsible, don't worry."
The honey condensed by honey worms is white in color, sweet and delicious, and very beautiful. Jiang Xuan has long thought of moving the tree and the worms together to the vine tribe.
Now, the expedition team of the Black Teeth Tribe has brought the tree and insect eggs over, saving him the effort to search for them in the future.
As for whether the tree can survive planting, Jiang Xuan is not worried at all.
This is a vine tribe. If even they can't grow plants that can survive, it will be almost impossible to grow them anywhere else except where they originate.
"Leader Wuyu, how many coins do you plan to exchange for this honey leaf tree?"
Jiang Xuan directly asked Wu Yu to make a price.
Wu Yu thought about it for a while and said: "Chief Xuan, it is not easy to bring this honey leaf tree here. In addition, there are honey bug eggs in it. It's not too much to exchange for ten big sword coins, right?"
"Ten large sword coins are too many, I think ten small sword coins are more appropriate." Jiang Xuan directly gave Karasuba a discount on his quotation.
