Chapter 77 Do you have any seeds?
Jiang Xuan brought the people from the Black Tooth Tribe into the bamboo house, and Wu Yu saw the environment they lived in.
What surprised Wu Yu was that such a small tribe could actually see pottery, and there were quite a lot of them.
Of course, many tribes will fire pottery, and those large tribes are experienced in firing pottery. The pottery they burn is very exquisite and has various beautiful patterns on it.
In comparison, the pottery of the Vine Tribe seems a bit shoddy, after all, the experience and technology are very limited.
Even so, it is already amazing that a small tribe can burn so many pottery.
Jiang Xuan said embarrassedly: "Our Vine Tribe is relatively poor, and there is nothing to treat you with food."
Jiang Xuan didn't plan to cook for them, and he didn't want to expose the fact that the Vine Tribe had salt. After all, he had no idea about this Black-tooth Tribe, so it would be better not to expose anything.
"It's okay, we brought our own food."
Wu Yu didn't care about this because most small tribes lacked food. Even if they took out some food to entertain them, it was often not as delicious as the food they carried themselves.
"Captain Xuan, is that giant eagle raised by your tribe?"
Wu Yu was very curious about this because in his opinion, a creature as powerful as a giant eagle had a very arrogant personality and was not as small and weak as a tribe that could be tamed.
"The Giant Eagle is not from our tribe."
Jiang Xuan admitted frankly: "There is an old man from afar living in our tribe, and he brought the giant eagle."
"So that's how it is."
Wu Yu nodded, thinking that it was indeed the same as he had guessed. How could such a small tribe afford a giant eagle?
Wu Yu thought about visiting the old man later. If he could make some deals with the old man, he should be able to get a lot of good things.
"Chief Xuan, what do you want to trade with us?"
"We have salt, weapons, clothes, accessories, gems..."
Wu Yu knew all the goods and introduced Jiang Xuan all the goods that the Teng Tribe might need.
Jiang Xuan thought about it. The fungus tribe did not need food, drink, and fun things, and there was no value for trading.
It is best to find goods that are of relatively low value but are useful to the Vine Tribe.
"Do you have seeds of plants that you can eat? Tubers or seedlings are OK."
"Seeds? Seedlings?"
Wu Yu was stunned for a moment. It was the first time he had heard such a request when he went to so many tribes to do transactions.
"Yes, it's the kind of edible and easy to grow live plants. If you have seeds, I'm willing to trade with you."
Jiang Xuan explained again: "Our tribe is relatively small and has relatively weak strength. Hunting in the mountains is very casualties, so we have opened up a lot of wasteland and planned to plant some edible plants so that we can get some food more easily."
Jiang Xuan said it was basically the truth, but he did not mention that the vine tribe mastered the planting technology, and the field is now empty. Wu Yu would never have imagined that the vine tribe could obtain a large amount of food through planting.
Wu Yu frowned slightly because he wanted to trade something like salt, clothing, gems, etc. that was of high value and could make a lot of profit, not some seeds.
The seeds cannot be exchanged for much, because the tribes do not pay attention to this.
However, all of them have come. If you return empty-handed, it is an unacceptable thing for Wu Yu.
He was used to being able to trade something every time he went to a tribe, and he would earn something more or less.
Using seeds to trade may make less money, but it is always better than not making any profit.
Wu Yu thought carefully and said, "Some time ago, we traded a plant seed called ruby with a tribe. It can be eaten after it is cooked, but I can't guarantee whether you can plant it."
Jiang Xuan said: "Can you show me what it looks like first?"
Wu Yu nodded, then waved his hand to ask a soldier who was following behind him to pick it up.
Not long after, the soldier came over with a small animal skin bag.
Wu Yu took the animal skin bag into his hand, then untied the rope on the animal skin bag, opened the hole of the bag, and grabbed a handful of seeds from it.
"Chief Xuan, look, this is the ruby seed."
Jiang Xuan looked at the seeds caught by Wu Yu and saw that these seeds were about the size of a pigeon egg, and looked a bit like red dates.
"Can you give me one for me to take a closer look?"
"no problem."
Wu Yu took one for Jiang Xuan generously and asked him to watch it slowly.
In fact, this plant seed called ruby was given to them as a gift when he was trading in a small tribe, and he gave them two large bags.
Along the way, the black feather felt that the taste was OK, so most of them were cooked and eaten, leaving only a small bag.
But Wu Yu was very smart. He did not say that it was given by someone else, but said that it was obtained by the transaction. This seemed precious and he could ask Jiang Xuan for something more.
Although he is a tribal, Wu Yu has been engaged in various transactions for a long time and has already become a promiscuous businessman.
Jiang Xuan held the "ruby" seed in his hand. He first gently pinched it and found that the thing was very hard and dry, with no moisture, unlike fruits.
Then he smelled it and found that there was no smell.
Moreover, because Wu Yu didn't know what the plant looked like and what life habits it had, Jiang Xuan couldn't ask.
There are some plants that Jiang Xuan is more familiar with in this world, and there are also many unfamiliar plants, which take time to identify them one by one.
Jiang Xuan thought about it carefully and said, "I don't know if this thing can be planted, nor do I know if it is a tree or a low plant, so this is troublesome..."
When Wu Yu saw Jiang Xuan hesitating, afraid that he would not trade, so he immediately said, "Captain Xuan, this thing is delicious. If you don't believe me, ask me, everyone likes to eat it."
"And, I think it should be able to grow, because the tribe I went to, they have a lot of this kind of edible ruby."
Jiang Xuan said in embarrassment: "But our tribe has nothing precious to trade..."
Wu Yu looked around in the bamboo house of the Teng Tribe and said, "We want everything, animal skins, animal teeth, and animal bones."
Finally, Wu Yu saw the wild boar teeth hanging on the wall, so he pointed to one of the thick wild boar teeth and said, "This beast teeth are good."
Wu Yu walked to the wall, first observed the complete state of the wild boar teeth, and then said to Jiang Xuan: "If Chief Xuan is willing, you can use these three pairs of beast teeth to exchange for these rubies."
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he said, "What a guy, I want it all."
He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, we finally got these beast teeth, and we also injured several warriors."
Wu Yu hesitated for a moment, but after all, because the ruby was white, he was not so determined, so he said, "Then, two pairs of beast teeth cannot be missing, otherwise this transaction will not be possible."
"We traded these rubies from a long distance," Wu Yu added.
Seeing Wu Yu's attitude firm, Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, two pairs of beast teeth are just two pairs of beast teeth."
Wu Yu suddenly became happy again. He took the two pairs of beast teeth, then handed Jiang Xuan the animal skin bag containing ruby, and said, "Captain Xuan, believe me, you will definitely not suffer any loss in this transaction."
"If you plant it successfully, you will be able to have endless rubies in the future."
"I hope so."
Jiang Xuan was just trying it out. In addition, those three pairs of wild boar teeth were actually not very valuable to him. It was worth it to be used as decorations and exchanged for some new seeds.
