"Niang, the sister who saved me said that she liked the stone I gave her very much. Here are the food and salt they gave me. Niang, taste this cake. How delicious is it? And this fruit is very delicious. The fruit in our mountain is not so delicious."
Gowardesh chattered and began to talk to her mother about what had just happened. As if offering treasure, she took out all the things Xiaoyu had brought him to her mother.
"Gowardesh, I saw this thing when I married your father. It was sent by some relatives of his second uncle's family from outside. Hey, I didn't expect to see this today after so many years. It's not called cake. It seems to be called what ~ Oh, by the way, I remember, it's called dessert."
"Niang, you know a lot. Sister Xiaoyu said that it can't be put away. Let's eat it quickly. By the way, Niang, they said they wanted to change things with everyone. They said they liked the beautiful stone best. Why don't we go and pick it up now? These salt were changed from me."
When gowardesh said this, they hid their snacks, and one took an apple and went into the mountain.
"Mother, if it weren't for the heat here, it's estimated that everyone would come to look for this stone. It's so beautiful and shiny." the gowardesh gasped.
"Dog boy, are you tired? You ate something bad and had diarrhea before. You just got over it now. Why don't you go with your mother behind your back."
"I don't need it! When gowardesh grows up, gowardesh is a man. I have to take care of my mother in the future. I don't need my mother's back."
Gowardesh said, then accelerated his pace. The two women were sweating forward, regardless of the heat from their feet and the hot air in the air.
"Cough, this smell is really choking, but if it weren't for this environment, I'm afraid there wouldn't be these beautiful stones."
"Mom, let's find it quickly. I heard that big uncle said before that the more you go in, the more such stones there will be."
Not only gowardesh's mother and son, but also others went up the mountain carrying baskets to pick up stones after the children came home with dried meat and bread.
"Oh, Aunt Chen, aren't you always afraid of heat? Why are you here now?"
"Hey, the family has run out of food. Do you still care about the heat! Hey, if I knew that the stones here could change things, I should have come out earlier with my worthless sons."
"When our second child took the stone back, his father said that the mountain was too hot. Maybe there was a god of fire under his head and he wouldn't let him go again. Hey, I know I'm in a hurry now. I urge our women and children to go up the mountain quickly. What did he care about early?"
Most of the people who came up the mountain were women and children. Everyone looked around to see if there were any colored and crystal clear stones.
Tian Yuqiao set up a scale similar to a balance. There were agates or gemstones, and the other was left to the aborigines to choose their own goods. As long as the two ends are balanced, they can be exchanged.
This is limited to agates or gemstones. Animal skins and bones are not calculated according to this proportion. Tian Fu took people alone and exchanged skins and other things with the aborigines.
After staying here for two days, Tian Yuqiao planned to leave that day. But people are reluctant, especially those who have no time to pick stones. Their intestines are green.
"Sister, are you leaving?" gowardesh asked with the red eyes.
Xiaoyu wiped the tears on his face with a handkerchief, smiled and said, "gowardesh, don't worry, this time my sisters are here to explore the way. When this road is through, our caravan will often come to sell goods. If you don't have money at that time, you can exchange those beautiful stones and other things for things."
Tian Fu comforted the aborigines and said, "don't worry, Princess Facai is an envoy sent by the Chinese government. We came here this time mainly to open up business channels and let everyone know that the Chinese government intends to do business with the people in the original mountain. Tell you when you have time. We will send people to sell goods several times a year."
After Tian Fu said this, everyone showed a happy look one by one. Those families with many boys who usually like to run to Huoshen mountain have made a small fortune because of this goods exchange.
If it weren't for Tian Yuqiao's limit, at most one family would be able to exchange two kilograms of salt. It is estimated that they will have more than ten kilograms of salt now.
People without beautiful stones have hollowed out their homes. They also took out all the leather that had been stored for a long time, as well as precious wolf teeth and wild boar teeth, in exchange for cloth and salt.
When people tasted the taste of salted fish, their enthusiasm for salted fish reached an unprecedented height. Some people even want to exchange a milk sheep for a kilo of dried salted fish! Others, who have been ill for a long time, use all the things at home to exchange herbs with Tian Yuqiao.
These herbs are not expensive, so Tian Yuqiao generously made this good fortune with everyone.
Then he passed several villages, and Tian Yuqiao followed suit. The effect is really getting better and better. As a result, she hasn't waited to see the bandit leader of the original mountain, but just entered the depths of the original mountain, the things she brought have been changed almost.
Looking at the goods, as well as the horses, cattle and sheep held by the back of the caravan, Tian Fu couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "madam, we seem to have changed too much with them this time. What's on the car now is what people change with us. It's estimated that the bandits won't like it."
"What we want is this effect. We're going to the mountain this time not to win over the bandits in Yuanshan, but to let the people in Yuanshan know our attitude. If the bandits in Yuanshan really don't want to be recruited, the people in Yuanshan won't agree. Now we're giving you some sweets. They must hope to live such a life in the future." Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.
"Yes, the young lady is right. When I changed things with them, I obviously thought we made money. As a result, those people even looked at us with very grateful eyes. Hey, I'm sorry to see it." Xiaoyu said.
"Hey, their life is too hard, because there is no salt, even if they hit the prey, they can only be happy for a few days. The food can't survive at all, but it can survive in winter. It's just that the prey is hard to fight in winter, and they don't have cotton clothes. It's a narrow life to enter the mountain." Tian Yuqiao sighed.
