After Jiang Xuan returned to the tribe, he first told Jiang Xuan, Uncaria and others about the Blue Sheep tribe, and then started preparing the materials for the transaction.
This transaction mainly involved exchanging divine mushrooms, pottery and salt for the insect wax of the blue sheep tribe.
In addition to divine mushrooms, the tribe has no shortage of pottery and salt vines, and can even be said to be quite abundant.
Because the raw materials for these two things are abundant and the processing methods are relatively simple, all they consume is manpower and time.
For tribal people, the most indispensable thing is manpower and time.
Jiang Xuan has already asked some tribesmen who are not strong in fighting ability to learn how to make pottery and boil salt.
Soon, Jiang Xuan came to the forest next to the stone mountain with the prepared magic mushrooms, pottery, and salt.
At this time, the warriors of the Blue Sheep tribe in the forest are waiting anxiously.
They have been sitting on the back of the blue sheep without taking a step away. As long as there is something slightly wrong, they will ride on the blue sheep and escape quickly.
They now carry a large amount of insect wax and must guard against direct robbery by the Vine Tribe.
I would rather not trade than take any risks.
This is what the shaman of the Yanyang tribe told Hongyan, and Hongyan will keep it in mind.
Although Hongyan was curious about what the Vine Tribe looked like, he didn't dare to risk going in and could only wait here.
If you can trade successfully several times, and both parties have gained initial trust and a certain understanding, you can enter the tribe to trade.
"Chief Hongyan, I've been waiting for a long time!"
Finally, Jiang Xuan came over with goods and hundreds of soldiers.
Hongyan was shocked to find that the warriors of the Vine tribe wore very good animal skin clothing and had very good weapons. Many of them also wore pendants made of huge animal teeth.
Compared with the warriors of the Vine Tribe, the warriors of the Blue Sheep Tribe are relatively shabby. The animal skins they wear are more worn out and their weapons are older.
Hongyan reaffirmed in his heart that the Teng tribe was a prosperous tribe, and felt a little envious.
"Hahaha, Chief Xuan, have you brought all the goods?"
"Bring it here, please take a look at it, Chief Hongyan."
Jiang Xuan waved to the warrior behind him.
Shi Loach took several warriors and brought a large pile of pottery and salt in pottery pots to Hongyan and showed them to him.
Hongyan got off the ram's back, but the other warriors of the blue sheep tribe were still sitting on the back of the blue sheep, without relaxing their vigilance at all.
Hongyan first looked at the pottery, including pottery pots, pottery bowls, pottery pots, pottery bottles, pottery basins, and the most important cooking utensils, pottery tripods.
There are some exquisite patterns painted on the surface of all pottery, some are simple flowers and plants, some are beasts, they are very beautiful.
Hongyan turned a clay pot over and saw a totem pattern of a vine tribe carved on the bottom.
Not only this pottery pot, but all the pottery has the totem pattern of the Teng tribe on the bottom. This is a mark that proves that this pottery is produced by the Teng tribe.
At the same time, this is also a means of publicity, and when other people see the marks on the pottery, they will know that it is an artifact produced by the Teng tribe.
Hongyan looked at the clay pot containing salt again. He was surprised to find that the salt from the Vine Tribe was very good in terms of color and purity.
In the past, the blue sheep tribe would also trade some salt with other tribes, but the color was very dark and often contained many impurities.
The salt from the Vine Tribe is only slightly red in color, and it is clean and has no other impurities.
Hongyan pinched some salt from the clay pot and put it into his mouth.
Then, Hongyan’s eyes immediately lit up!
He found that the salt from Teng Tribe had a clean salty taste with almost no bitter taste.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said: "Chief Hongyan, how does the salt from our Teng tribe taste?"
Hongyan gave a thumbs up and said: "Good salt!"
Jiang Xuan pointed to the pottery again and said: "The pottery of our Teng tribe is not worse than that of other tribes, right?"
Hongyan said honestly: "It's indeed very good. It's even more beautiful than the pottery we traded with other tribes before."
Hongyan said again: "Chief Xuan, where are the spirit mushrooms?"
Divine mushrooms are one of the important factors that brought them to trade with the Teng tribe, because the shamans of the Blue Sheep tribe urgently need the magical mushrooms.
Jiang Xuan took out a small animal skin bag from the animal skin bag on his waist and said: "Here it is!"
He opened the small animal skin bag and took out a fist-sized red magic mushroom, which was completely dry.
Hongyan had seen the magic mushroom once, so he became obviously excited after seeing this mushroom.
"Leader Xuan, let's start trading."
Hongyan glanced at the warriors behind him, and seven or eight warriors from the Blue Sheep tribe got off the Blue Sheep, and each of them took an animal skin bag.
They opened the animal skin bags and found two bags of insect wax, as well as some good stones, animal bones, teeth, animal skins and other things.
Hongyan pointed to one of the bags of insect wax and said: "Chief Xuan, this is the insect wax you and our witches agreed upon to use in trading the spirit mushrooms."
Jiang Xuan stepped forward and checked the entire bag of insect wax. No problems were found in terms of quantity and quality, so he nodded, handed the spirit mushroom to Hong Yan, and took the bag of insect wax away.
"Chief Xuan, wait..." Hongyan stopped Jiang Xuan.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xuan turned around and looked at him.
Hongyan rubbed his hands and said sheepishly: "Can you... return that animal skin bag to us..."
Such a large animal skin bag is not easy to make and is of relatively high value, so Hongyan was reluctant to give it to the Vine Tribe.
To put it bluntly, the Blue Sheep tribe is too poor.
"No problem."
Jiang Xuan didn't want to take advantage of them, so he asked the Vine tribe warriors to run back and bring several animal skin bags over.
He first poured the completed insect wax into the animal skin bag of the Vine Tribe, and then returned the animal skin bag of the Blue Sheep Tribe to Hongyan.
"Thank you, Chief Xuan."
Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief, and his impression of Jiang Xuan and the Teng tribe became much better.
Hong Yan took the spirit mushroom out of the small animal skin bag, carefully put it into his own animal skin bag, and then stubbornly returned the small animal skin bag to Jiang Xuan.
This can be regarded as the last bit of backbone of the poor tribe.
Jiang Xuan took the animal skin bag and said: "Then start trading other things."
Jiang Xuan pointed to the jar of salt and said: "Chief Hongyan, this jar of salt, together with the jar, is exchanged for another bag of insect wax, what do you think?"
For most tribes, salt is a very precious thing. The jar of salt from the Teng tribe weighs about ten kilograms, not to mention a beautiful clay pot.
Therefore, Hong Yan said in surprise: "Okay, it's so refreshing to make a deal with Leader Xuan!"
Jiang Xuan handed the jar of salt to Hong Yan, then took away the other bag of insect wax, and returned the animal skin bag containing the insect wax to Hong Yan.
Next, Hongyan used those good stones, animal skins, animal bones, and animal teeth to trade a pottery tripod, two pottery pots, and a pottery bowl from the Teng tribe.
When the transaction was completed, both parties were very satisfied, and Hongyan's favorable impression of Jiang Xuan skyrocketed.
"Chief Hongyan, are you really not going to sit with us in the Vine tribe?"
"No, let's do it next time."
"Okay, then don't force Chief Hongyan. These dried meats are smoked by our tribe ourselves. Let's take them on the road to eat."
Jiang Xuan stuffed a small bag of dried meat into Hongyan.
"This...how is this so embarrassing..."
"Take it, welcome to come to our Vine Tribe to do business next time."
"Okay, thank you very much, Chief Xuan, we will definitely come again next time!"
……
The people from the Blue Sheep tribe left, and the people from the Teng tribe also returned.
On the way back, Hongyan took out a piece of dried meat and put it into his mouth. After chewing it, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Salty...salty..."
Only then did Hongyan realize that the dried meat Jiang Xuan gave him had been pickled with salt.
Hong Yan said with emotion: "Chief Xuan is such a good person. It's so comfortable to deal with him!"
The other warriors of the Blue Sheep tribe also nodded, because the people of the Teng tribe also gave them some dried fruits, and everyone had something.
One day later, Hongyan and others returned to the Yanyang tribe. Their return with a full load made the Yanyang tribesmen cheer because they finally had pottery tripods and pots to cook meat.
What's more, there is precious salt to eat.
The shaman of the Blue Sheep tribe was even more excited. He cut the magic mushroom open, chewed it bit by bit, and swallowed it.
Not long after, his eyes became blurred. He saw that the cave was covered with green grass, and he saw countless blue sheep running happily and eating grass in the green grass.
He also saw some magical plants and strange animals flying around in the sky.
Finally, he saw a huge blue sheep.
"Goat God, I finally see the Goat God again, woo woo woo..."
The shaman of the Yanyang tribe started to cry, with tears streaming down his face.
The totem god of the Blue Sheep Tribe has long since disappeared, and even the totem spirit has dissipated. As a witch, this is the most painful thing, because no matter how he prays, he can't get a response from the god.
Now, with the help of the Spirit Mushroom, he finally saw the tribe's totem god, which was a great psychological comfort to him.
