Seeing Jiang Xuan's surprised look, Wu Yu's vanity was greatly satisfied and she became even more enthusiastic towards Jiang Xuan.
He asked Jiang Xuan to sit down on a colorful animal skin. There was some hay under the animal skin, making it very soft to sit on.
Later, Wu Yu took out various kinds of delicious dried animal meat and various kinds of delicious wild fruits, filled them in pottery vessels, and placed them on the animal skins for Jiang Xuan to eat.
"Chief Xuan, come on, come on, don't be polite, eat some dried meat first."
Karasuba was the first to pick up a piece of dried meat and bit into it.
In addition to these dried meats and wild fruits, Wu Yu also added some water to the pottery tripod in the fire pond, added fresh animal meat and edible plant tubers, sprinkled some salt, and simmered it slowly.
Jiang Xuan took a wild fruit and gnawed it slowly. His eyes were attracted by the pottery basin containing the wild fruit.
This pottery pot is not as thick as ordinary pottery, it is very thin and has a texture close to that of porcelain.
On the pottery pot, there are some hunting patterns of tribal people. Although the paintings are not particularly beautiful, they can be seen clearly.
To be fair, the craftsmanship of this kind of pottery far exceeds the current skills of the Vine tribe, but the pattern is just a little worse than that of the Vine tribe.
"Chief Karasuba, which tribe fired this pottery?"
Jiang Xuan was very curious as to what kind of tribe a tribe with such superb pottery craftsmanship would be like.
The pride in Wu Yu's eyes could no longer be concealed. He picked up the pottery basin and said, "This is called black pottery. It is a new pottery that has been successfully fired by the Rhinoceros tribe recently. You see, there is the totem pattern of the Rhinoceros tribe on the side.
"
Jiang Xuan followed Wu Yu's guidance and saw a totem pattern on the side of the pottery basin, depicting a strong two-horned rhinoceros.
The Black Wind Rhinoceros of the Vine Tribe has one horn, but the totem pattern of the Rhinoceros Tribe has two horns. The difference is obvious.
Jiang Xuan had some impressions of black pottery because he had seen it in a museum in his previous life.
According to the museum, black pottery is as black as lacquer, as loud as paper, as thin as paper, as bright as mirror, and as hard as porcelain. It is a fine product among pottery, not much worse than porcelain.
But Jiang Xuan knew nothing about the production process of black pottery.
Jiang Xuan asked: "Where is the Rhinoceros tribe? Is it a big tribe?"
Wu Yu replied: "The Rhinoceros tribe is a relatively powerful medium-sized tribe. They are not in the central part, but further south."
Jiang Xuan asked again: "What kind of place is that further south?"
Karasuba thought for a while and said: "It's hotter over there than the central part, with more rain and more mosquitoes. It's not as comfortable as the central part."
According to Karasuba's description, the place where the Rhinoceros tribe is located is a bit like a tropics.
Jiang Xuandao: "If you have the opportunity, you must go and have a look. I will gain a lot of experience."
Karasuba was noncommittal about this, he still preferred the central part of Southern Wilderness.
"Gulu gulu..."
The animal meat in the pottery tripod already had an alluring aroma. Wu Yu used a stick with a sharp end to pick out large pieces of animal meat, put it in a pottery plate, and then carefully cut it into pieces with a stone knife.
.
Afterwards, Karasuba grabbed a piece of meat with his bare hands, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"Chief Xuan, come on, come on, eat some meat."
Under Wu Yu's warm reception, Jiang Xuan couldn't take out his chopsticks, so he washed his hands like the Romans and ate with his hands.
Although the cooking and eating methods are relatively rough, the taste of the animal meat is quite good. Jiang Xuan praised it a few times while eating it.
This made Karasuba very useful and had a better impression of Jiang Xuan.
After eating and drinking, Wu Yu invited Jiang Xuan to visit the Black Tooth Tribe.
Of course, it can also be understood as a kind of showing off.
Of course Jiang Xuan had no objections. Instead, he hoped that the Black Tooth Tribe would be exposed to more new things, which would be conducive to the development of the Vine Tribe.
Wu Yu first took Jiang Xuan to a processing workshop, where the Black Tooth Tribe would process raw materials such as stone, animal bones, animal teeth, and animal skins traded back from other tribes.
After processing, the value of these things will increase several times, even ten times.
Buying at a low price, processing it twice, and then selling at a high price is a stable profit model for the Black Tooth Tribe.
Wu Yu said proudly: "Our Black Tooth Tribe has dozens of places like this!"
"That's amazing." Jiang Xuan exclaimed sincerely.
This is the embodiment of a tribal heritage.
Don't underestimate such processing workshops. Each processing workshop requires a large number of tools and experienced craftsmen to support it.
These craftsmen do not appear out of thin air. In addition to occasionally absorbing craftsmen from other tribes, they are mostly cultivated by their own tribe.
In order to run dozens of processing workshops at the same time, in addition to sufficient raw materials, a large number of experienced craftsmen are the key.
A tribe like the Vine Tribe, which was established only a short time ago, simply cannot gather that many craftsmen. It can only spend a lot of time training a group of craftsman apprentices and slowly accumulate experience.
After visiting the ordinary processing workshop, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but said: "I have a question, it may not sound very good..."
Wu Yu said: "Leader Xuan, just say it."
"Your Black Teeth tribe is so rich, haven't those big tribes ever thought about it?"
This question arose when Jiang Xuan entered the Black Tooth Tribe.
When the benefits are big enough, other tribes will definitely be jealous, there is no doubt about it.
So how does the Black Tooth Tribe rely on to protect its wealth?
Karasuba said calmly: "Of course some big tribes have made plans, more than once, but they have all failed. Do you know why?"
Jiang Xuan shook his head, this was exactly what he couldn't figure out.
"Because the Black Tooth Tribe's development to this day does not depend on this territory, but on our ability to do transactions."
"If a large tribe wants to attack, we can just ride on the black-toothed bird and run away. When we move to the next place of residence, all kinds of transactions can still be successful."
"But the tribe that attacks us should be prepared to face endless revenge from the Black Teeth Tribe."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Not only will we send people to attack all their people who go out, but we will also persuade nearby tribes not to make deals with them and trap them to death!"
When Karasuba said these words, the expression on his face was very confident, because the Black Tooth Tribe had already experienced similar things.
After listening to Wu Yu's words, Jiang Xuan also understood why those big tribes did not dare to attack the Black Tooth Tribe even though they knew that the Black Tooth Tribe was wealthy.
The combination of the two methods of military harassment and trade blockade is enough to collapse any tribe, because each tribe has little food reserves.
Once they are unable to go out for hunting and cannot obtain supplies through trade, big problems will arise within the blocked tribe without a large-scale attack by the Black Teeth tribe.
Every tribe that can survive in this dangerous primitive continent for a long time has its own special ability. The special ability of the Black Tooth Tribe is the trading network they have operated for many years.
All tribes within this trading network can obtain various supplies needed for daily life through the Black Tooth Tribe.
With the presence of the Black Teeth Tribe, all tribes in the Southern Wilderness who have extremely inconvenient transportation can enjoy the benefits brought by the circulation of materials.
However, everything has pros and cons.
When each tribe enjoys this convenience, it will also pay a corresponding price.
For example, the Black Teeth Tribe has to make a profit in all kinds of material transactions. Another example is that once there is an enemy with the Black Teeth Tribe, there will be a terrible trade blockade.
It is through these means and the strong strength of the tribe that the Black Teeth Tribe can occupy a place in the fiercely competitive place in the central part of the Southern Wilderness and even become stronger and stronger.
After listening to Wu Yu's explanation, Jiang Xuan probably knew what was going on.
A tribe that has both economy and force at the same time will have a great advantage when facing other tribes.
Jiang Xuan touched his chin. The path of the Black Tooth Tribe has great reference significance for the Vine Tribe.
In the future, the Vine Tribe can completely strengthen this road. In time, its influence will definitely exceed that of the Black Tooth Tribe!
Moreover, the Vine Tribe has a greater advantage than the Black Tooth Tribe, because the Vine Tribe has a very solid foundation and can be self-sufficient in most of its food and various necessary living supplies, and can even be exported.
If one day, there is a conflict between the Black Teeth Tribe and the Vine Tribe, their method of blocking transactions will have very little impact on the Vine Tribe, because the Vine Tribe produces its own products and has sufficient reserves of supplies.
Wu Yu was still immersed in pride in front of him. He would never have thought that Jiang Xuan was already thinking about how to open the market in the central part of the Southern Wilderness in the future and whether to cooperate or compete with the Black Tooth Tribe.
The two continued to wander around the Black Tooth Tribe. Whenever Jiang Xuan saw something useful, he would write it down, and secretly wondered if the Vine Tribe could also get one?
After walking around, Jiang Xuan realized that the wisdom of the tribesmen should not be underestimated.
There are many smart people among the tribesmen. When facing them, Jiang Xuan's only advantage is his rich experience and knowledge from his previous life.
Of course, this advantage is too great.
It's like a group of people walking at night. Others need to explore bit by bit in the dark, but Jiang Xuan uses a flashlight and easily knows where the road is and what obstacles are ahead.
Wu Yu took Jiang Xuan around the Black Tooth Tribe, showing Jiang Xuan almost all the places that could be shown to outsiders.
Finally, they returned to the trading area.
Jiang Xuan observed all kinds of goods more carefully this time, and when he encountered something more useful, he would exchange it with the few remaining goods.
As they walked, Jiang Xuan suddenly saw a short man in front of him, following a tribesman furtively.
He held a handful of extremely thin and sharp stone flakes in his hand, aiming at the large animal skin bag carried by the tribesman on his shoulder.
Are there also bag-cutting thieves in the trading areas of primitive tribes?
For a moment, Jiang Xuan felt a little dumbfounded.
Due to the extreme shortage of supplies, deception, abduction, theft and robbery are not uncommon among tribal people.
But this was the first time Jiang Xuan saw the thief who cut off his property in the trading area.
There is no other reason for this, because tribesmen are naturally vigilant, and it is difficult to pull off such a personal theft. Once discovered, it is really a death blow.
