Chapter 83 Bamboo Exchange

Faced with the ridicule of Tongshu and others, although Sangshui wanted to throw the pot on the ground to make a sigh of relief, the aroma of the meat was so tempting that he could only curse the tungsten inside the pot while holding the chopsticks awkwardly and cursing the tungsten inside the pot.

After dinner, Wang Wei took Sangshui and others to visit the village.

"This is called a kiln. The pottery bowl we cooked just now and served soup were made of this thing." Wang Wei smiled.

"Can I get closer and take a look?" Sang Shui asked with his eyes lit up.

"The temperature there is too high. If it gets hot, it will be bad. Let's take a look at this again. This is the pool. When the snow is pushed inside, heat it up with burnt stones. Soon the water temperature in the pool will rise. We built a wall in this way. When we go back, our tribe would be better to build some walls." Wang Wei said with a smile.

Looking at the wall, Sang Shui asked in confusion: "Is this wall useful?"

"The weather is getting colder and colder. In order not to be frozen to death, the beasts on the other side of the mountain can only migrate to a warm place. These walls can block most of the beasts outside." Wang Wei explained.

"Just this? With such a short wall, many wild beasts jumped a little higher than this. Is this useless?" Sang Shui frowned.

Wang Wei smiled, squatted aside, surrounded the ground with mud, and then scooped a can of water in the pool with a clay pot.

Then pour the water into a high place to the right of the mud circle.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places.

When the water falls to the ground, it flows towards the low-lying area, and the circle is on the way to flow.

However, when the water flows into the circle, it is blocked by the mud walls and flows to both sides.

The area protected by the mud wall was dry and no water could penetrate.

After doing this, Wang Wei explained: "This water is like a herd of beasts. If there is no stop, they will destroy everything along the way while passing by.

But it is different with obstacles. It is the nature of living things to seek profit and avoid harm. There are walls in front of them. As long as they do not block their necessary path and are not far away, they will definitely take a detour.

Even if one or two small splashes splash into the mud wall occasionally, it will only cause trouble at most and will not cause any consequences of extermination.

If this mud wall is gone, the beasts will not be diverted. It is not very meaningful for our alliance to be unionable. In front of the large army that migrates the beasts, no matter how many people are, they cannot stop it."

Looking at Wang Wei's demonstration and listening to what Wang Wei said, Sang Shui's expression became solemn.

He thought for a while and said, "What do you mean is that in the future, the beasts passing by us will not only not decrease, but will there be more?"

"If I guessed correctly, this should be the case." Wang Wei said.

"What if you guessed it wrong?" Sang Shui asked.

"If you guess wrong, it's just taking some time and effort to build an extra wall. Anyway, I've said that, it's up to you to decide whether you believe it or not!" Wang Wei spread his hands and said.

Wang Wei's words made Sang Shui's mood solemn. If what Wang Wei said was true, then their tribe was in danger.

"Captain Wang Wei, I will definitely tell Sang what you said today. It's still late now, and I have to leave. If it's too late, I can't go back before dark." Sang Shui said.

After hearing Sang Shui's words, Wang Wei did not stop him this time, but waved at Shi Tou, and then Shi Tou brought two clay pots and two clay bowls with an unhappy look on his face.

Nowadays, clay pots and pottery bowls are very important things in the clan.

It was cold and the earth was frozen. The clay pot could burn the snow into boiling water. After drinking it, the whole body became warm.

The roasted broth is countless times more important than barbecue in such weather.

Such a good thing is not enough for his own people, and Wang Wei is willing to give it to others. This really makes Shi Tou feel confused.

Although I was reluctant to let go, since it was Wang Wei's words, Shi Tou naturally would not violate it. He picked two of the smallest and ugliest ones from all the clay pots and sent them.

"You Sang tribe, you sent me these animal skins and meat, expressing the friendship between our two tribes. So as a witness to our friendship, I decided to give you Sang tribe pots and pottery bowls. The weather is cold now, and using this boiling water and boiling broth will have a great effect on the cold. I hope you like it." Wang Wei handed the pots and pottery bowls to the Sangshuidao.

Looking at the clay pot in his arms, Sang Shui's eyes were glaring out.

Such a good thing, Wang Wei actually gave it to you as soon as he said. Is he a fool?

If it was yourself, even the tribe with a good relationship would not be able to give such a treasure.

Just when Sang Shui was shocked, Wang Wei continued: "By the way, when you go back, tell your patriarch that these two pottery jars are witnesses of our friendship. If you think they are useful and want them, you can exchange them for bamboo."

After seeing the weapons Sangshui and the others carried, Wang Wei knew that there were bamboos there.

Moreover, this kind of bamboo is the bamboo that you need to make your own bow and arrow.

With a systematic translation, Sangshui and others naturally know what the bamboo in Wang Wei’s mouth is.

He was even more surprised to hear that bamboo could actually be exchanged for clay pots.

There is a large bamboo forest in the bamboo tribe that is affiliated with them.

The bamboo in the forest is inexhaustible, and to them it is like stone and soil.

Now such things that have no value to them can be exchanged for clay pots, how can mulberry water not be shocked?

So, Sang Shui immediately asked, "Can bamboo also be replaced with this precious pot? How to change it?"

Through the conversation just now, Wang Wei learned that Sangshui's tribe has no concept of numbers, so even if there is a systematic translation dialogue in the middle, they cannot understand the numbers he mentioned.

So after thinking about it, Wang Wei grabbed Sang Shui's hand and said, "Your finger, one finger represents a bamboo, a pottery bowl, which can replace all your fingers with so many bamboos. The pottery jar is larger and is used to boil water, so it is replaced with more. Add your fingers to one piece, one finger, and all the bamboos are replaced with a pottery bowl."

Wang Wei's words meant very clearly. Change ten bamboos to one pottery bowl and sixty bamboos to one pottery jar.

When he said that, Wang Wei's heart was actually very weak. After all, in his opinion, this kind of exchange was a bit too bullying and unfair.

If Sang Shui argues with reason, he can give him a 50% discount or even less.

But what he could not imagine was that as soon as he finished speaking, Sang Shui couldn't wait to agree to Wang Wei's exchange conditions, and was so straightforward that he did not bargain at all.

After all, in the eyes of Sangshui, bamboo is as valuable as soil and stones. He can earn money by using such useless things for treasures like clay pots.

Finally, when Mangshui left, Wang Wei told him that if the bamboo was to be chiseled from the root with stones and shave off the bamboo branches, and there should be no breakage or other damage.

Sang Shui agreed without hesitation.

In order to avoid Wang Wei's repentance, Sangshui couldn't wait to slap Wang Wei in a sworn.

Looking at Sangshui who was leaving with excitement, Wang Wei was very satisfied with the business of exchanging pottery and bamboo and wood that he was talking about today.

It is not difficult to find out from Sang Shui's performance that he is more satisfied with this transaction.

A successful transaction is to satisfy both parties in the transaction and feel that they have taken advantage of it.
