Chapter 199: Competing for Exchange
Nan Qiao picked up the fishing net and demonstrated it. "Once you throw this net into the water, it's very difficult for fish to escape once they touch it. It's been very fruitful in rivers and lakes."
At this time, someone who was joining in the fun said, "The fish is so unpalatable and smells so fishy, why bother changing the fishing nets? It's a waste of food."
Nan Qiao was not angry either. The idea that fish tasted bad was already deeply ingrained in their minds, and a few words could not change their minds.
So Nan Qiao took out the grilled fish and tried it.
The fish were carefully divided into several evenly sized pieces, each of which had an attractive luster and was placed on a large piece of emerald green and clean leaves.
The veins of the leaves are clearly visible, as if they are natural dinner plates specially prepared for fish. The two complement each other, adding a bit of wildness and freshness.
Nan Qiao smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone, don't judge the fish as unpalatable based solely on your past impressions."
"Today, I invite everyone to try it for free. It doesn't matter whether you buy the fishing net or not. I just hope everyone can give this grilled fish a chance."
When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise and curiosity.
Someone couldn't help but ask: "You can try it without buying it? This is the best thing that has never happened before."
Nan Qiao nodded affirmatively: "Yes, everyone can enjoy it without worry."
A young warrior was the first to muster up the courage and stepped forward to take a piece of grilled fish.
He sniffed it cautiously first, and the aroma of the grilled fish instantly penetrated his nostrils, making a hint of anticipation flash in his eyes.
Then, he took a bite. In an instant, his eyes lit up, as if he had discovered a new world. He said excitedly, "It's delicious! The taste of this grilled fish is absolutely amazing. It's completely different from any fish I've eaten before."
Nan Qiao was delighted when he saw this and immediately struck while the iron was hot, saying, "As long as you buy our fishing net, I will give you this delicious grilled fish tutorial as a gift. I guarantee that everyone can make such delicious grilled fish when they go back home."
The warrior who was tasting the food said without hesitation, "I'll trade the fruit and bone knife for this fishing net! This way, I can catch fish and learn how to grill them at the same time. It's a great deal."
After saying that, he went to Agula to hand over the fruit and bone knife and happily exchanged the fishing net.
After his demonstration, several more people came forward to try it.
They originally had skeptical expressions, but after tasting the grilled fish, they were all impressed by the wonderful taste.
"This grilled fish is so delicious! The flavor is just right. I never thought fish could be so delicious."
"Yes, with this fishing net and tutorial, the food in the future will be much more delicious."
Everyone was praising the product one after another, and in a short time, the fishing net became extremely popular and everyone rushed to buy it.
In a few seconds, the neatly arranged fishing nets were sold out.
Nan Qiao immediately turned to Kamu and said, "Kamu, the fishing nets are very popular. Hurry up and bring your tribesmen to find some more vines. We will weave them and sell them right away."
Kamu took the order and left in a hurry with a few nimble tribesmen. Their figures quickly disappeared in the crowd, just to bring back the vines as soon as possible to meet everyone's demand for fishing nets and allow the Stone Tribe to harvest more supplies at this Hundred Tribes Conference.
After the fishing nets were sold, the Stone Tribe’s stall was briefly deserted for a while.
Soon, those pottery bowls and cups caused a sensation again.
A noble-looking man from a large tribe, dressed in gorgeous clothes, followed by several attendants.
He picked up the ceramic bowl and examined it carefully. "I've never seen this before. It must be a unique way to serve food."
"I'll trade ten pounds of fresh meat for a ceramic bowl."
Nan Qiao responded calmly, "Ceramic bowls are difficult to make, and they have a wide range of uses in life. Fifteen pounds of fresh meat is more suitable."
After some bargaining, the deal was finally settled at twelve kilograms of fresh meat.
People from several large tribes became curious and came to buy pottery bowls one after another. Gradually, only a few pottery bowls were left.
At this time, Feng and Yan from the Lingyu Tribe, who had exchanged with the Boulder Tribe last time, also came to the stall.
Feng smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, your name is Qiao Qiao? You are the noble Chosen One of the Stone Tribe."
Nan Qiao had no intention of announcing his identity as the Chosen One when he came to Agula this time. There were too many large tribes participating in the Hundred Tribes Conference, and he was afraid that Nan Qiao would be snatched away by other tribes.
"Yes, hello." Nan Qiao nodded politely.
Feng's eyes were filled with anticipation as he continued, "The last transaction was a pleasure. Do you have anything good this time?"
Nan Qiao smiled mysteriously, turned around and took out a cotton coat and quilt made of animal skin.
Yan's eyes widened: "What is this? It looks so thick and warm."
Nan Qiao introduced: "This is a cotton-padded jacket and quilt specially made by our tribe. Wearing it in winter will not make you afraid of the coldest weather."
Yan, who was standing by, was stunned. He never thought that the Stone Tribe would actually make such a thing.
Feng exclaimed, "This is a really good thing. Our tribe is extremely cold in winter, and we need something like this to keep warm."
"How about I exchange one deer and two rabbits for a set?"
Nan Qiao thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but this thing is too rare, there are only a few sets, and each tribe can only exchange one set this time."
"If you want more, you can register with me and I'll send someone to get it later."
Feng was a little disappointed when he heard that he could only change one set, but then he immediately smiled when he heard that he could go to the tribe to change it in the future.
Nan Qiao took a clean animal skin, took a branch that had been burned into charcoal and wrote a few times on the skin.
The news spread quickly among the tribes, and many people from the tribes came.
An elder from a large tribe brought a large amount of precious medicinal herbs and said, "I heard that the elderly and children in my tribe are suffering from the cold winter because of your cotton-padded clothes and quilts. I will exchange these precious herbs for a set."
"These herbs were personally selected by the witch doctor. You can take a look."
After Nan Qiao selected the herbs, he completed the transaction.
In this way, the trade continued to be hot, and the items of the Stone Tribe became fewer and fewer.
The people from the Xingyao tribe finally arrived when the last set of cotton clothes and quilts were still on the stall.
A member of the Xingyao tribe stepped forward, looked at the remaining items, and said, "Our tribe is very interested in these cotton-padded clothes and quilts. What do you want in exchange?"
Nan Qiao's heart was moved, but his face remained calm: "The Xingyao Tribe is very wealthy, and they must have many unique things."
"I only have one set of this cotton-padded jacket and quilt, which is even more precious, so I want to use it to exchange for the method of taming your tribe's Spirit Devouring Beast."
The tribesman was stunned and said, "The method of taming the Spirit Devouring Beast is a treasure of our tribe and cannot be exchanged."
Nan Qiao was too lazy to waste time talking to him and said, "You can't make the decision on this matter. Go back and discuss it with your leader and elders."
"In addition to exchanging this set of cotton-padded clothes and quilts, you can also reserve cotton-padded clothes and quilts for your entire tribe from us. They will be delivered before winter, and I will exchange them for you at the most favorable price."
