Chapter 139 Exchange (Part )
He shouted many times to the people here, saying that they were not bad people and asked them not to take action.
When I reached the shore, I felt a little thirsty, so I rested for a dozen seconds.
People on the shore immediately gathered around. They had dark and yellow skin, skinny bodies, bare feet, and long sticks. Some of them even had special colored paint on their faces.
Many people had extremely fierce looks in their eyes, and some even regarded the elite soldiers as prey.
This look made them almost unable to control themselves and took out their bows and arrows to shoot these people.
However, they remembered that it was Shopkeeper Shen who asked them to come down to protect Uncle Niu, so they did not act rashly.
Uncle Niu took a breath and spoke immediately. "We are merchants. Our hometown is short of food. The host was kind enough to come out and exchange food for everyone. He specially brought cloth, bowls and plates, silverware, oil, sugar and salt in exchange.
Anyone can come and make an exchange, as long as they have no problem eating and can get the best goods from us."
After that, he took a bowl from the boat, which contained a few pieces of white rock candy, ate one himself, and then handed the bowl over. "I used to live here. When I was here, there was a man named Ruan Wenxiang who registered chores in the village. We really have no ill intentions and are not bad people. Look, this is the candy we want to exchange."
He looked at the one who was being supported by someone and handed it to him. The old man glanced at Uncle Niu and then asked someone to take the bowl.
Beautiful regular crystals lay in the bowl.
The bowl was white and beautiful, and the person who took it left fingerprints on it, leaving black marks on the white porcelain bowl.
The young man lowered his head in embarrassment. It was the first time he couldn't raise his head in front of a tableware.
"This is the porcelain of the Ying Dynasty." The old man finally spoke, then picked up a piece of rock candy. He could immediately feel the sweetness when he put it in his mouth, and then a feeling of joy and happiness instantly swept over him.
Sweetness is a reward bestowed by God on human beings, so of course we will be happy after eating it. Whether it is rock honey or honey from trees, mountains, or cliffs, everyone will climb it regardless of the danger.
Now this sweetness has no strange taste at all, it is pure sweetness, and it comes in individual pieces, and it feels more precious than honey.
If we can get more, we can exchange resources with other tribes this year, and even get a few more women back.
He was moved: "How many of these do you have?"
"That depends on how much food you want to exchange. After all, our master has several candy shops in Yingchao." Uncle Niu's answer was flawless. At the same time, he felt that Shen Ying was really good at predicting things. How did he know that people would ask about the inventory of goods?
The old man gave the bowl to the woman next to him, who was his third wife.
She is also the smartest and most beloved woman around him; "Try it."
The woman followed their example and took a piece of the candy and put it in her mouth. Then her eyes lit up and she spit it out: "Husband, this is for the children."
"You can eat it. We have a lot of food in stock this year. We can give you more sugar in exchange."
The woman's eyes immediately turned red and she thanked him repeatedly.
The old man looked at the boats and said, "Your master is here with us this time? Can you come down so we can talk face to face?"
Uncle Niu looked at those who were still on guard. "Our master is a weak woman. I'm afraid she won't come down with all the fighting you guys are doing."
The old man couldn't withdraw these people, so he compromised: "I'll ask them to step back a little. When your master comes, you can only bring 40 people at most. Take down the other things and see, and then we can talk about how to replace them."
Uncle Niu saw that he could only say this much, so he sent someone to notify Shen Ying.
The sailor rowed away alone, and twenty soldiers stood on the beach.
A few minutes later, the boat came again. Shen Ying brought the samples, followed by ten elite soldiers, and slowly approached the shore.
In order to facilitate walking, Shen Ying wore pants. Her outfit was slightly slim-fitting to facilitate movement.
Even though her clothes were a bit masculine, her face and feminine hairstyle made it impossible to mistake her gender.
Shen Ying dressed like this on purpose.
When you go out, your identity is given by yourself.
This time, she is a woman from a well-off family who married a frail husband and did many good deeds to bring blessings and longevity to her frail husband.
After she got off the boat, she bowed to the old man as a woman should, gracefully and politely.
Some young foreigners stared with their eyes wide open, wondering if the women of Ying Chao were so pretty.
It looks particularly wealthy.
'Fugui' Shen Ying started the conversation.
But they basically just followed the questions and answers from the old man who seemed to be the leader of their tribe.
Whatever goods there were, she would obediently take them out and display them one by one, and she was not afraid of them touching the goods. The exquisite and beautiful fabrics made everyone fall in love with them as soon as they appeared, and the woman hiding behind the men could not help but scream.
I want the red one.
I want the white one!
Uncle Niu started to act as a middleman between the two, but he had forgotten how to say many things, so the conversation between the two lasted about half an hour before getting to the point.
A bowl of local rice in exchange for a piece of candy. Because this kind of rice easily turns into crumbs when cooked, they would beat it into a paste, but for Shen Ying, this was really the worst of the worst. She took a bag of rice to show them.
"If it's this kind, a bowl of rice and half a bowl of sugar will do." In fact, she was just trying to trick people. She deliberately used good quality rice to embarrass them so that they would not bargain with her.
"This is only available in other tribes. We are lucky to be able to grow rice here near the sea."
So a candy cannot change, don’t bargain with me.
The old man frowned. He had begun to suspect that Shen Ying was not as easy to talk to as she appeared.
Next, a bag of rice was exchanged for enough cloth to wrap a person twice.
Exchange five bowls of rice or five bowls of noodles for a white bowl, and if each bowl has a pointed top, you will get a small spoon of the same color.
For game, based on quality, one pound of meat is basically equivalent to one bowl of rice.
For other valuations of furs and mountain products, the value unit will be calculated using a bowl of rice, a bag of rice, etc.
The old man whispered to the others for twenty minutes, then turned his head and said, "They agreed."
But I hope that what Shen Ying comes up with later will be as good.
"Don't worry, we let the ladies choose the colors they like, but you have to maintain order. If there is a conflict, we won't do the deal. This line is long, and I won't just focus on you."
Shen Ying also deliberately said: "If you can get more food, I am willing to wait for two more days. As for the exchange of things, you are free to trade with others in any way you want."
Uncle Niu took great pains to translate these words that tempted people to resell.
Not to mention, when it comes to matters that can bring in profits, even though this man looks to be in his sixties or seventies, his breathing becomes heavier.
After a while, he nodded heavily: "Then you wait for two days."
