Chapter 62: The Exchange Meet

  Similarly, Mo Yier's response also made Simula feel very surprised. After all, the Luochuan tribe is a leader tribe, and all small tribes must listen to their commands. If someone is invited to the Luochuan tribe, they can only be happy and will not refuse. "Mo Yier, our Luochuan tribe will be richer than you think. We have the freshest meat, the warmest animal hides. For many years, no one has frozen to death on a cold day like today. You should know that staying in the Kanbu tribe might just freeze to death on this cold day."

  What Sila said was not meant to scare Mo Ye, in the winter many people would freeze to death here, this is also why there were never many people in the small tribe.

  "Hehe, it's okay, I'm not afraid." Mo Yier smiled and replied, adding another sentence in her heart: As long as I'm here, no one will freeze to death on a cold day.

  "Alright, I hope you don't regret it." Silmala was extremely displeased in her heart, this was the first time she had been rejected! Her pale face rose with a few unhappy expressions, like a spoiled child, and after finishing speaking, she didn't even say goodbye, heading towards the temporary camp of the Luojia tribe. Although the Luojia tribe lived nearby, there was still an important exchange meeting after the sacrifice, they absolutely wouldn't miss it.

  Mixed with Sila Mala and the two Jumping Tree tribes, Mo Yu'er almost forgot about the sacrifice of that little girl. She took a few deep breaths, then headed towards the tribe's resting place.

  The exchange will start in the afternoon and last until the night of the second day. Every tribe participating in the ceremony here will participate in the exchange, each tribe will try to bring out the best things to let other tribes know their strength, and then exchange back what they need, such as the salt and mud of the Haimu tribe and the pottery of the Nibasu tribe are coveted by every tribe.

  The Heim tribe, which is not good at hunting, will also exchange for their own winter needs of animal hides and dried meat.

  This exchange meeting is similar to a market, on an open space next to the altar, each tribe puts out its own things, or takes things directly to the front of what they need to exchange.

  The largest booth is the one from the Luoguo tribe, they have a lot of things to exchange, except for salt and ceramics, there are many dried meat, animal hides, stone tools and so on. Especially the stone tools, their varieties are numerous, and they are also very delicate, and there are even cups for drinking water. In addition, stone knives and stone axes are even more loved by men who like to hunt, I don't know what method they use to grind them, the blade of the stone knife is very sharp.

  Chu Yan picked it up and examined it for a while, then said to Mo Yier: "If you use this stone knife, you will save a lot of effort."

  Mo Yi'er nodded, also liking this stone knife. However, after asking the price, it turned out that two large pieces of fierce beast skin were needed to exchange for it. To know, fierce beasts are very ferocious and not as easy to catch as ordinary cows, sheep, wild rabbits, or mountain chickens. So, this stone knife can be said to have a fairly high price. Mo Yi'er shook her head at Chu Huo: "Forget it!"

  Chu Yan smiled faintly and took out the crystal sugar from her own tribe. "Can I exchange it for this?" she asked the person in charge of exchanging goods from the Luo Ya tribe.

  "Haha, our tribe doesn't lack salt and rice, forget it." The man laughed loudly, completely unbothered.

  "This isn't salt, you can try a little." Chu Yan pinched a small amount with his fingertips and placed it in the person's palm. The person was somewhat puzzled, also slightly resentful of Chu Yan's petty behavior, but still licked the black crystal sugar on their hand with their tongue. Suddenly, their eyes lit up: "Good heavens, this salt is actually sweet!"

  "Haha, this isn't salted pork, we call it rock sugar inside our company."

  "Rock candy?"

  "Yes, crystal sugar, can I exchange it?"

  That man hesitated, and this matter seemed not to be something he could decide on. "You wait a minute, I'll ask our leader."

  Xī tiě lā is now strolling around with Xī mò lā in various tribes, looking for good things to exchange, but after half a day, she still hasn't found what she's looking for. Coincidentally, the tribesman ran over and she sternly said: "What are you running for? Why aren't you watching the stall?"

  "Hehe... Don't worry, Chief, no one dares to take things from our tribe." The man said cautiously.

  "What's going on?" In front of her tribe, Sutela had always been a serious figure, so many tribespeople were afraid of her and didn't even dare to look at her.

  "He is the leader of the Kham people inside, he wants a sweet salt bar in exchange for our stone knife."

  "Speak clearly, what sweet salt?" Strala didn't understand, salt was obviously salty, why would it be sweet?

  "It looks similar to salted barley, but tastes sweet."

  Sister Stella still didn't quite understand, after all, she had never seen one before! "Come on, I'll take you to have a look." And so the brother and sister followed their tribespeople to the stall.

  Chu Yu was still there, admiring the other stone tools, each one polished to perfection, and he couldn't help but love them. Mo Yier, on the other hand, noticed that the raw materials of these stone tools were different from the stones used for grinding in the canyon, and she had never seen such stones within the canyon's territory before.

  "Hehe, Chu Zhuo leader, what kind of salted fish is it after all?"

  Chu Hu took out the crystal sugar and showed it to Xue Tela, pinching a little bit for him to taste: "This is not salt, it's crystal sugar."

  "Rock candy?" Strata took the rock candy with her clean fingers and put it in her mouth. "It's sweet!" Strata was also amazed like everyone else.

  "Yes, it's sweet, so it's called rock sugar. How is it? Better than honey!"

  Sister Stra nodded, "Indeed! We can exchange it for a stone knife!" The Luojia tribe wasn't lacking in food and whatnot, so of course they would want to exchange something new.

  "Alright! Two stone knives, one bag of crystal sugar." Mo Yier spoke up first, she had to help Chu Yan get a stone knife back. The bag holding the crystal sugar was made of animal hide, and one bag could hold about a catty (a unit of weight) of crystal sugar.

  "Good!" Stella agreed without hesitation.

  Chu Yan didn't shake his head or laugh, this kind of thing was something Mo Yi liked to take charge of, so he let her. Originally, he had planned to exchange a bag for a stone knife, the process of making crystal sugar was laborious, and the grinding of the stone knife was also very laborious, so everyone wouldn't lose out.

  Mo Yu'er took charge and suddenly exchanged two bags of crystal sugar for four stone knives.

  Just as they were about to leave, Stella stopped them again. "Do you have anything else?"

  "Yes, Silkstra leader can go to our booth to take a look."

  Because there were very few things brought this time, the stall was not noticeable at all, and Stella hadn't gone over yet.

  "Alright, I'll go with you!"
