When Tian Yuqiao entered the hinterland of the original mountain, he saw a group of very poor people. She couldn't bear it. She even remembered that when she first crossed over, the situation of herself and Wulang was almost the same as those children.
Under the flood of sympathy, she decided to carry out a gentle policy towards the people in the original mountains first. Let Tian Fu give each child two large pieces of beef jerky, and they line up to eat. Then there were many adults who followed to watch the excitement. Tian Yuqiao also asked people to send each of them a big white flour cake.
When did these people eat white noodles? One by one, they looked at the round, white things in their hands.
"It's called cake. It's delicious. Try it first." Xiaoyu smiled, picked up a piece of cake and took a bite in front of everyone.
The children all ate beef jerky happily, while the adults ate big cakes in small bites. They were so excited that tears came out. They dared to swear that this was definitely the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their life.
Some children are more filial and give their beef jerky to their parents. The adults tore the beef jerky into strips and then put it in the bread for the children to eat.
Children eat big cakes and beef jerky. It's a joy to eat.
Although they can hunt and get a lot of prey from time to time, they are too poor after all. Occasionally, they have to be robbed by thieves, so they can't really eat a lot of food. In addition, they simply can't afford salt, so they can't stand eating meat cooked in plain water for a long time.
Now the beef jerky Tian Yuqiao gave them is not only salty, but also a little sweet. In their opinion, it is absolutely superior and delicious.
Although these people are poor, they are still not reduced to mobs. Everyone has a good conscience. Now that they have received such a great favor from others, they naturally know how to be grateful.
After eating the food in their hands, although many people stared at Tian Yuqiao's goods, they didn't plan to grab it.
People turned around and ran home, which made Tian Fu and Tian Yuqiao speechless.
"Young lady, what a group of people are they? They don't say thank you after eating. It's true." Tian Fu said somewhat dejected.
Xiaoyu said, "it's not necessarily. Maybe they ran away because they were afraid of us."
Soon, two children near their home came with a pile of cooked animal skins.
"Grandpa, this is a gift that my parents asked me to give you. I said I was grateful for the delicious food you gave us."
The boy is about the same age as Tian Fu's grandson, so Tian Fu also likes the child in front of him. He reached out and touched the back of his head. Then he smiled and handed him a white steamed bread.
"Eat, child."
"Grandpa, we never accept favors for nothing. I'll let my mother bring something to exchange with you."
From the two children, we all know that we can exchange with them. So everyone brought more things, and others drove out their horses, cattle and sheep.
"We are also willing to exchange some food and linen with you. I don't know if these things can be."
"Yes, you are our great benefactor. We need food, salt and coarse cloth very much. If we can exchange some with us, we can even lose our wealth."
Tian Fu doesn't know what to do. It's obvious that others suffer. It's appropriate for him to take up the stool. But the expression on their faces seemed to be begging themselves.
"Miss, what should we do about this?" Tian Fu asked for instructions.
After thinking for a while, Tian Yuqiao said, "since they want to change, let's change with them. After all, they only have fur. It can keep out the wind, and the effect of keeping out the cold is too bad. Next time we come here, we'll bring more cotton. Alas, I didn't expect the people here to live so hard."
When Tian Fu heard the speech, he asked everyone to unload some cloth. In order not to attract attention, each family only exchanged six feet with them this time. A foot of linen for a piece of leather, those people actually think they have earned it~
Others brought medicinal materials such as deer antler and musk, while Tian Yuqiao traded them with salt.
As a result, many people screamed. Some people are happy, while others regret sitting on the ground crying.
The deer was full of treasure, but even if they got good things, they couldn't sell them, so many people thought it was useless, so they threw it away~
Now I know that someone is willing to exchange salt for that thing. If I had known, I wouldn't have thrown away anything.
Once you use salt, you get two carts full of deer antler and musk.
After working hard for most of the day, when it was getting dark, Tian Yuqiao and his party passed through the small village and continued to move forward.
Camped at night and walked for a long time. I heard the sound of gurgling water in front of me. Everyone added a water bag, and Haosheng washed for a while before continuing to get up.
Not long after I left, I saw that there seemed to be a stockade ahead. The stockade is full of wooden houses and bamboo buildings. It looks and looks much richer than the previous village.
She came here this time to open the business road with great fanfare, so that the more Yuanshan people know that they intend to do business here, the better. In this way, when the caravan of guitars comes again, it will be much smoother. At that time, the things from the fish shop can be sold here.
There are four or five people guarding the gate outside the stockade. They all have wooden spears in their hands and Wolf and leopard skins on their bodies. Although a little thin, but it seems that the spirit is good.
Tian Fu came forward with two people, smiled and handed over two small jars of wine. He smiled and said to the gatekeeper, "several brothers work hard. We are businessmen from the other side of the mountain. This is a gift for you."
"Oh, businessmen? Don't you businessmen usually only deal with bandits? How come to us now?"
"You misunderstood what the brother said. We are different from ordinary businessmen. We are large merchants. Dozens of merchants come together to provide you with more good things. See, we have brought a lot of things this time. This is the first time to do business with brothers. We will give you two cloth first, even if we make friends."
