Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

"what are these?"

A soldier pointed at the roasted corn and blue potatoes. He stared at them and swallowed.

"This is roasted corn and roasted blue potatoes. They're delicious. Do you want some?"

Thistle uses cut branches to stick the roasted corn in place so it won't get too hot.

The soldier took the roasted corn handed to him by Ji and put it directly into his mouth.

"You can't eat the core inside, only the grains!" As soon as Ji finished speaking, the soldier swallowed it whole!

An Qiqi: ...

thistle:……

"Ah! Delicious!" The soldier smacked his lips.

Isn't he afraid of the heat?

An Qiqi was speechless!

Fortunately, there are many warriors in the Shun tribe who are good at roasting chestnuts and barbecue, otherwise, the onlookers would not be satisfied.

We also brought a lot of corn and blue potatoes.

The people of the Shun tribe were reluctant to eat more, so they gave most of it out for exchange.

Open the market first, then plan how much to plant.

But clearly, demand outstrips supply.

"What do you want to exchange?"

This is what everyone wants to know, and the onlookers are listening attentively.

"Herbs are preferred, but rarer plants, stones, bones, horns, and furs are also acceptable."

In short, it is a rare species, and Ji gives everyone a unified answer.

There is no currency here yet, and everything is bartered.

No one has an opinion.

Sugar-roasted chestnuts, roasted corn and roasted blue potatoes are only available in the Shun tribe. They are still food, and no matter how rare they are, they are worth it.

In primitive society, the primary goal was to have enough food and clothing.

"These are for you!"

Those warriors of unusual status took out a bunch of plants from their animal skin backpacks.

When An Qiqi met Sang, her liver ached.

These bastards don’t even need to put them in stone boxes, they are all rare herbs!

Two of them are spiritual plants.

Sang pushed the rattan frame he had brought with him.

"From now on, you must use this to store herbs. Otherwise, I won't exchange sugar-roasted chestnuts, roasted corn, or roasted blue potatoes with you!"

She couldn't stand it any longer.

"Oh... hehe..." The soldiers smiled embarrassedly.

They just thought it was too troublesome and these herbs were picked on the road, so they didn't put them in stone boxes.

If the witch in their tribe saw it, they would definitely tell others about it.

"Are you a witch?"

A warrior asked Sang, saying that only witches and witches would be so particular.

Sang glared at a few people unhappily, but ignored them and lowered his head to sort the herbs.

Wait until they leave.

An Qiqi asked Sang, "Who are they? They look pretty cool."

"The Bu tribe of the upstream tribe is one of the tribes that established the trading area and is good at divination!" Sang Hui said.

No wonder he is so arrogant, even Uncle Ji doesn't dare to offend him.

There is actually the power of fire for divination. It really broadens my horizons!

An Qiqi sighed inwardly.

"Hey, the people from the upstream tribe finally left!"

"Oh, I get nervous every time I see them."

"The people of the Bu tribe are relatively nice. The people of other upstream tribes are not so easy to talk to."

"Yes, yes, their eyes are all on their heads. Look at us like this..."

The soldier who said this imitated the scene very vividly.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone was amused.

"It would be better if we could just exchange with each other in our midstream tribe. I don't dare to go to the upper reaches."

"Me too, to avoid being looked down upon!"

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I just don't want to see their cold stares!"

The more An Qiqi listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

She also wanted to go to the upstream trading area to see if she could exchange for spiritual plants.

"Uncle Ji, when will our tribe go to the upstream trading area to exchange?"

Ji looked at An Qiqi in surprise, then frowned.

"A Liu, if you want to go shopping, just go to the midstream trading area!"

Who will accompany her to the upper trading area?

This is not a joke.

The upstream tribes are all very powerful. If any of them dislikes you, it will be useless to beat you up.

An Qiqi asked again, "Uncle Ji, do the tribes in the middle and lower reaches rarely go to the upper reaches for trading?"

Thistle nodded.

"I usually don't go there. I can basically exchange everything in the midstream trading area!"

An Qiqi finally discovered the problem.

"Since the midstream tribes only exchange goods in the midstream trading area, why not build a new trading area in the midstream?"

"We've come all this way upstream, and we're not going to exchange supplies for them. Isn't this a waste of time?"

"If we build a new trading area in the middle reaches, it will not only be convenient for travel, but I guess the tribes can also bring in a lot of supplies for exchange, right?"

The journey is long and the staff is limited.

I think each tribe brought their most valuable supplies to trade.

Other supplies had to be abandoned.

However, it is often through other seemingly insignificant things that good things can be found.

"It saves time and manpower, and enriches the exchange of materials. It's a two-pronged approach!"

Thistle's eyes widened.

“If we establish a trading zone, who will come?”

An Qiqi smiled and said, "We can't just do it on our tribe. We must unite with other tribes in the middle reaches to establish a new trading area."

"Besides, we can open the midstream trading area several more times."

“If there are many tribes, we can open it all year round!”

Ji's breathing became heavier, and he took a deep breath. "What if the tribe upstream disagrees?"

"how come?"

An Qiqi curled her lips.

"Building more trading zones and boosting the economy will benefit everyone!"

"What I mean is that if the tribes can exchange more and more materials, it will be more abundant, which will benefit everyone."

Ji thought for a moment and asked again.

"What about the upstream tribes, who want to exchange with the midstream tribes?"

Should we let them go to the midstream trading area?

This doesn't seem easy.

There is already a trading area upstream, and the upstream, midstream and downstream are all together, so everything is convenient. How could anyone be willing to travel so far?

"That's what I'm going to say next."

"We can establish caravans in each trading area to transport the supplies needed by each area."

"Even if it costs a little more in supplies when exchanging, it's worth it."

An Qiqi looked at the onlookers around her who were listening attentively with their ears perked up, and smiled.

"Uncle Ji, our Shun tribe is known for its speed, but it will take more than 20 days to get here."

"Is it about time to go hunting?"

Seeing Ji and the other warriors nodded, An Qiqi continued.

"Let's say we take twenty beasts per hunt. So, even if we exchange ten more beasts with the caravan, wouldn't that still leave ten?"

"Uncle Ji, if you do the math, if you save forty to fifty days of round trip time, you can earn ten ferocious beasts."

"No, it should be to capture twenty ferocious beasts. A Liu, you forgot to calculate the time to come back." Sang said.

Jizhi nodded: "We can go hunting twice!"

An Qiqi smiled awkwardly.

"Yes, I missed it!"

She continued, "For the caravan, there's also extra compensation. Isn't that a win-win situation for everyone?"

In fact, the caravan will earn more.

When they know how to resell in the future, buying low and selling high is inevitable.

However, the economy prospered and society developed.

An Qiqi felt that it should be a good thing.

"Aji, if your Shun tribe wants to build a midstream trading area, our Rong tribe wants to join!"

A tall senior warrior among the onlookers spoke loudly.

"Our Niao tribe also wants to join!"

"The Shan tribe is joining too!"
