The chief''s calm face summoned a soldier and gave a few orders in a low voice.
The soldier took orders and ran to the cave.
The chief''s face put on a smile again, as if nothing had happened just now. He said to Qi: "I''ll send someone to the cave to prepare things. A few distinguished guests will wait for a moment."
Qi Shang and the other three yellow bottom tribe soldiers in the eyes of the proud light flash.
With a bag of inferior salt for 900 Jin of fresh meat, the Tushan tribe has not compromised in such an unfair trade.
In a good mood, Qi Shang naturally didn''t care about waiting for such a little time. With a smile and a wave, he said, "chief Tu Shan is too polite."
After a while, four soldiers came out of the cave. Each soldier carried a large bag of things wrapped in animal skin on his shoulder.
Ye Xi knew that it was full of fresh meat.
He sighed in his heart. Nine hundred catties of meat were exchanged with blood and sweat by the soldiers of Tushan at the risk of their lives, so they were exchanged with a bag of inferior salt.
Qi Shang looked at the meat, forced down the upturned corners of his mouth to maintain his indifferent posture.
Chief: "several have been waiting."
Qi Shang Ke airway: "nothing, nothing."
"Chief." One of the soldiers who took the meat suddenly called out.
"What''s the matter?"
The soldier muttered: "our tribe fresh meat is not enough 900 Jin, plus dried meat is not enough." The voice is not big or small, just heard by the people of Huangbo tribe.
Oh? Qi Shang frowned and looked at the animal skin package on the ground. He turned and drank to the nine bears behind him: "go and untie them all."
Nine bears were ordered to come forward and spread out the skins.
When you untie those thick skins, the meat inside looks less than 900 kg. It looks like about 700 kg, and part of it is dried meat.
What''s the meaning of the cold mountain
The chief''s face was puzzled: "the hunting team''s income is not good these two days, so there is no fresh meat, but I don''t know that I can''t even scrape up 900 kg of meat."
The hunting team''s income is not good these two days? Yexi thought of yesterday''s saber toothed tiger, Longhorn deer and other prey, and admired the chief''s ability to tell lies.
Qi was still cold and his face was about to say something. The chief immediately said, "don''t do this. I''ll exchange water with you."
Hearing this, ye Xi immediately responded that this was the chief''s purpose! What their tribe lacks most is water! If you use water instead of meat, you will not suffer a loss!
Ye Xi couldn''t help but look at the chief. Just now the soldier said that there was no meat in the tribe. I''m afraid the chief ordered it in advance.
Habitat is still a listen to water exchange, face a angry face, change the color of hesitation: "clear water?"
"Yes The chief clenched his teeth, looking like a pain in the flesh.
Then he waved and told the soldier, "go, take out the water stored in the tribe."
"Chief!" Exclaimed the soldier, with a look of reluctance.
As soon as ye Xi''s mouth was drawn, the soldier was also a playwright. It seemed that he was brave in their hunting team and called pestle.
"No more! Go Said the chief angrily.
Clubbed face covered with helpless heartache, and finally stomped his feet, ran to the cave.
Ye Xi:
After a while, the pestle came back with a small barrel.
The pestle gave the cask to the chief.
Qi Shang looked at the bucket, his eyes lit up and his feet moved. He almost couldn''t help going up to see how much water there was in it.
The chief gave a slight meal, carefully holding the bucket to the direction of qishang.
Qi Shang eyes a glance, immediately floating on the face of joy, there are more than half a bucket of water!
Qi Shang barely controlled his joy: "the meat on the ground and the water can change salt to you."
But the chief frowned and said, "what are you talking about! If you add this water, of course, you can''t get so much meat! "
"What do you mean?"
"Five hundred catties of meat, plus the water, if that doesn''t work, then forget it."
Qi Shang''s eyes twinkled, pretending to think for a while, then he looked very reluctantly: " Well, look at the past friendship. "
The chief nodded without any expression and said nothing more. Instead, he told others: "pack up the meat and give it to them."
Qishang was also very satisfied with the result of the transaction. He let the three soldiers behind him carry the meat, and then sat on the bear''s back with the barrel in his hand.
Before leaving, Qi Shang sighed with the chief: "you are willing to exchange water with me."
The chief''s face was helpless: "if we give you all the meat, I''m afraid our soldiers will be hungry, but if we lack water, we can still drink blood to survive. After all, it''s still important for soldiers."
Qi Shang nodded with understanding: "yes, the tribal force is always the most important.""Good bye then, and say hello to the revered wizard for me!"
The chief nodded, sent them to the sentry and watched them go away.
After the people of Huangbo tribe left, the people of Tushan tribe put salt on the rock and circled around it happily.
"My God! So much salt! It''s only 500 Jin of meat
"Do you forget that there is still water? If there is no water, they will change it?"
"This water is nothing to our tribe. If you need water, just go to the lake and get it."
"It''s also true. So it''s equivalent to exchanging 500 Jin of meat for so much salt. We''ve made a lot of money!"
"Yes, thanks to our chief''s cleverness, we use water to make up for it."
Ye Xi was speechless on the side. He exchanged three catties of inferior salt for five hundred catties of meat. They also picked up a pair of cheap looks.
The salt on the rock doesn''t look very good. It''s yellow. There are so many grains of soil in it. The tribesmen look at them as if they are looking at some treasure.
But it is indeed a treasure, sighed Ye Xi. Even when he ate, he was reluctant to put salt.
Is there any way to solve this problem? Where did the people of Huangbo tribe come from? Ye Xisi sets off.
"What are you thinking?" The chief who went to the sentry to see someone off came back.
The chief stood beside Ye Xi, looking calmly at the people dancing around the salt. He did not look as happy as they did when they "picked up a bargain.".
Ye Xi was the only one who didn''t seem happy and excited.
"I wonder how the Yellow bottom tribe''s salt comes from."
"They..." When the chief thought of something, his eyes showed a sarcastic look. "It was claimed that it was made by their witchcraft."
"Made by witches?" That''s ridiculous.
According to Ye Xi''s knowledge, witches can be roughly divided into four categories: Medical witches, incantation witches, divination witches and Zhu witches.
Ye Xi was not very clear about their ability, but they could not escape the treatment, curse, divination and blessing. As for the ability to use witchcraft to produce salt, ye Xi thought that this statement was very untrustworthy.
"Is there any salt in the surrounding tribes
"Yes," sighed the chief, "so we can be slaughtered." The chief''s eyes were gloomy.
"What''s the matter?"
The chief lifted his chin slightly, pointed to the salt on the rock, and said with a wry smile, "do you know, the salt that the people of the Yellow bottom tribe trade is getting worse year by year."
Ye Xi didn''t know what salt was like in the past years, but this year''s salt did look bad.
With a cold look in his eyes, the chief went on: "they not only ate exactly, we can only exchange salt with them, but also eat it. Even if we Tu Shan is angry, we can''t take their yellow bottom, because the strength of our tribe is not comparable to their tribe."
Ye Xi was silent for a moment and said slowly The problem of tribal strength can not be solved overnight, but the problem of salt can be solved. "
The chief trembled all over and suspected that he had heard something wrong. Looking at Ye Xi''s eyes, he glared at his boss: "did you just say that the problem of salt can be solved?"
Looking at the old calm chief excited into this appearance, ye Xi helplessly nodded: "there is a way, but we must find something to make salt."
The chief got a positive answer. His face was red and his heart was pounding. He tried to calm himself down: "whatever it is, no matter how hard it is, we will find it back."
Ye Xi lowered his eyebrows and pondered, thinking about the raw materials for extracting salt Salty soil or stone can be used as raw materials for salt, including bitter salty, salty and astringent
Salt can be extracted from salty soil or stone? Chief frown, can these really make salt?
If someone else said that to him, he would certainly think that the other side played him, but if it was Ye Xi Thinking of his strange way of getting water It''s not impossible.
"Well, I''ll tell the hunting team to look for this kind of salty stone or soil when they hunt in the future."
