On this day, Shao Xuan returned from hunting and heard that there were people from the Taihe tribe.
Between the two tribes, although there are occasional small frictions, there will also be exchanges. After going out to trade at the end of last year, the relationship between the two tribes has eased a lot, and there has been no quarrel until now, at least the leaders of the two tribes have not quarreled.
"What are the people of the Taihe tribe doing here?" Shao Xuan asked the people next to him.
"I heard that it's about farming, it's over the field." The person who spoke was obviously unhappy.
The people of the Taihe tribe are better than the Yanjiao people in farming. Everyone has to admit that the people of the Taihe tribe can not only grow food crops, but also medicinal herbs. The medicinal herbs they bring to trade every year are actually many of them. They planted it themselves. In the Taihe tribe, the area of arable land is much larger, and they don't play small things like the Yanjiao people. They attach great importance to farming.
As for the reason why everyone is upset when the Taihe tribesmen come to visit the fields of Yanjiao, it is also because the people of Taihe have a sense of superiority in the field of farming. The deputy arrogantly pointed at Jiangshan, and several small-scale quarrels were because of this.
But from the perspective of the tribe's interests, Wu is still very happy to see this kind of "academic exchange". Although there will be quarrels, it is worthwhile for the Yanjiao people to learn more.
Thinking of the thousand grains of gold from Qiqi, Shao Xuan set down his prey and walked over to the field.
Shao Xuan did not keep Qi Qi a secret about the Thousand Grains of Gold, and Xi Qi even asked Shao Xuan if he wanted to cover it up if he came from the Taihe tribe.
Shao Xuan refused. Of course, it would be better if he could get useful advice from the Taihe tribesmen, and he didn't worry about the Taihe people playing underhand tricks. At least until now, the Taihe people have not had such a criminal record.
After Shao Xuan asked people, he came to a place near the mountainside, where many people were already surrounded. Shao Xuan remembered that there was also a plot of land used to grow a thousand grains of gold.
Qiqi is in a good mood today. In the past, when people from the Taihe tribe came, they would always use "pointing". The words were not too euphemistic. polite. But today is different. Although Taihe's people caught some mistakes again, because of the plow and the thousand grains of gold, this time it was rare for these people to divert their attention.
When Shao Xuan walked over, two people from the Taihe tribe were discussing something around the plow, while the others, together with Qiqi, stood beside a field that was specially separated by a wooden fence. There were only a few people in it. seedlings. And the people around the fence looked at the few seedlings with light in their eyes.
Seeing Shao Xuan coming, Qi Qi saluted as before, and then introduced a few people from the Taihe tribe. Having been ridiculed a lot, Qi Qi reported it today. When she introduced it, her expression was as if she was saying: Look at those bastards, I've never even seen a plow!
Being ridiculed by Qiqi, the faces of the Taihe tribe froze. It was rare that they did not ridicule the past, but they quickly put on a smile, with the meaning of close relatives. One of them coughed lightly and walked forward: "Quanbai of the Taihe tribe, this time, I want to make a deal with Elder Shao Xuan."
At the end of last year, they heard about the luminous spar from the returning trading team. They also sent people to test it several times. Unfortunately, the Yanjiao people kept their mouths tightly closed and did not find anything useful at all. This time the leader Intentionally, let them come over to trade with the Yanjiao people, and exchange things for a few luminous spar to go back and have a look.
Originally, they thought that if Shao Xuan was not there, they would go to someone else, and other people in the Yanjiao tribe also had glowing spar in their hands. Unexpectedly, the hunting team that happened to meet Yanjiao came back today.
"Want the water sun stone? Of course it is possible." Shao Xuan said, "I just don't know what you want in exchange?"
"What does Elder Shao Xuan want?" Quan Bai asked.
Generally speaking, in the transactions between the two tribes, there is less time to exchange copper ware, most of which are animal skins or others, while the Taihe tribe has more medicinal herbs. Quanbai thought that Shao Xuan would directly propose to trade with precious medicinal herbs. .
However, after a brief thought, Shao Xuan said, "I don't know how the craftsmen of the Taihe tribe are?"
Quan Bai frowned, not understanding why Shao Xuan suddenly asked this, is it because he disliked the incompetence of the craftsmen of the Yanjiao tribe, so he wanted to ask the craftsmen of Taihe to forge or cast bronze ware
In terms of craftsmen, the people of Taihe still have confidence.
Thinking of this, Quanbai said proudly: "The craftsmen of my tribe are naturally superb. Although they are not comparable to those famous teachers in the six cities, they are better than..."
Quan Bai was going to say, "Better than your Flaming Horns." Seeing that Shao Xuan looked over here, thinking that he still had something to ask for, he turned his head and shifted his contempt to other tribes.
"But it is also much stronger than the tribes such as the fierce fox." As for how many tribes the word "wait" contains, it is not clear.
Shao Xuan gave a "um" and asked again: "People from Taihe, the casting skills have been passed down for thousands of years, right?"
Quanbai felt a tightness in his heart and secretly said: Could it be that this kid wants to steal his teacher? ! This is absolutely impossible!
Vigilant in his heart, Quan Bai didn't show his face, but said: "Before you Yanjiao came here, we Taihe had already forged our own tools. But compared to the people in the six cities, it is still far behind."
"I wonder if I can communicate with the craftsmen of your tribe? I have some doubts." Seeing Quanbai and other Taihe people showing their guarded faces, Shao Xuan said again: "Don't worry, it's not about casting and forging skills, but something else. ."
Hearing that they were not asking about casting and forging, Quanbai felt a little relieved, but they were still on guard. Some things can be taken out for communication, but some must be firmly held in their hands, such as the cultivation of some precious medicinal materials of their tribe. Law, they will never spread it. Casting and forging skills are also one of them. It can be processed on their behalf, but the core will not reveal half a sentence.
Seeing that Shao Xuan's request was only to communicate with the craftsman, the matter of the luminous spar was temporarily resolved, and he could explain it to the leader when he went back, but... Quanbai and the others glanced at the few seedlings within the wooden fence.
One of them secretly poked Quanbai's back, signaling him to lift it quickly.
Quan Bai pondered for a while, and said to Shao Xuan, "I wonder if Elder Shao Xuan still has 'thousand grains of gold' in his hands?"
Shao Xuan glanced at them one by one, "What? Want?"
"If there is, we would like to make another deal with Elder Shao Xuan." Quan Bai was full of anticipation. They had observed those seedlings up close just now, but Quanbai himself took advantage of Qiqi’s inattentiveness, pinched a seedling in an inconspicuous place with his fingers, then sniffed the smell, and put his finger on the leaf and put it in his mouth to taste After tasting it, I straightened my eyes at that time, but kept suppressing the desire in my heart, trying my best to calm down and negotiate the terms.
"You can do it if you want. I will make a decision after I communicate with your craftsman." Shao Xuan said.
Do you need to communicate before making a decision? !
Quan Bo is anxious, who knows how long you will communicate? Missing the best time to sow is a big failure! Sorry for these sowing obsessive-compulsive disorder!
But Shao Xuan's decision has been made and cannot be changed. He knew that Shao Xuan was forcing them to arrange for the craftsman to communicate quickly, but he could only do so.
The people of the Taihe tribe, who originally planned to drag it, quickly arranged for an experienced craftsman in the tribe to communicate with Shao Xuan in the past. This craftsman is not only better than others in terms of skills, but also has to be flexible in his brain. Otherwise, if he is a fool, Shao Xuan will accidentally reveal all his housekeeping skills, and it will be too late to cry.
The craftsman also did his best, and with 120,000 vigilance, met with Shao Xuan, thinking about how to avoid the matter of casting and forging if the elder Yanjiao proposed. But what he didn't expect was that Shao Xuan didn't ask anything about casting and forging skills, but about the box man.
Since it's not about casting and forging, the craftsman's tense nerves loosened a bit, and he said what he knew. As for what Shao Xuan said about the cloud pattern, the craftsman didn't quite understand it.
Thinking of something, the craftsman said: "I remember that there seems to be something about the cloud pattern of the boxer in the records left by the ancestors."
Shao Xuanzheng was disappointed, and he was also refreshed when he heard this: "Your ancestors studied the cloud pattern of the box man?"
The craftsman nodded: "It seems that, but after they passed away, no one paid attention to the cloud pattern of the box man."
The fact is that several craftsmen of the Taihe tribe at that time wanted to imitate the things of the box people, because the things of the box people can be sold at high prices, and the most typical of the box people are those complicated cloud patterns, but they are really forged. It is extremely difficult to find those seemingly simple cloud patterns! If it is a little bit worse, the things made are much worse, and people with discerning eyes will see it as fake.
For this reason, several craftsmen have been studying for a lifetime, but unfortunately they have not been able to fully understand it, but they have also found a way to write their discoveries in the notes they left, and pass them on to future generations. But the descendants of Taihe were not happy to copy other people's things. Gradually, everyone stopped paying attention. They only glanced at the ancestors' notes occasionally.
For the Taihe people, the cloud pattern of the shards is someone else's thing, not their own tribe, so it is not classified as a secret. These are the trade goods that can be taken out. However, the ancestors' notes cannot be given out at will. The teacher promised to go back first to sort them out and write a copy to Shao Xuan.
When Shao Xuan saw the records sorted out by the other party, he was delighted and directly gave three luminous spar. This is also something that the people of Taihe have discussed for a long time, and they also feel that they have taken advantage of it.
As for the thousand grains of gold that Quanbai and others were thinking about, Shao Xuan also took out fifty grains, and the people of Taihe exchanged the medicinal materials. For the rest of the matter, Shao Xuan asked Duo Kang to come over and talk to them directly, while Shao Xuan took the note back and continued to study the cloud pattern.
I have to admit that the craftsmen of Taihe really wanted to carry out the road of imitation to the end, but unfortunately they kicked the iron gate and have never been able to open the road blocking door. The cloud pattern of the box man seems simple, but it always makes People can't figure it out.
Fortunately, the things they left were a great inspiration to Shao Xuan. Although they had not been able to completely crack the cloud pattern, their ideas and the questions they had already answered made Shao Xuan's mind flash continuously.
In the following days, Shao Xuan was locked in the room to crack the cloud pattern of the box man, until Xi Qi came to him with a look of despair.
Seeing Shao Xuan with bloodshot eyes, Xi Qi was startled and said, "Elder Shao Xuan, you are... Could it be that yours also failed?"
"Failure for what?" Shao Xuan rubbed his eyes and asked in confusion.
"The ones you planted."
"Eh? What?"
"Of course it's a thousand grains of gold."
Shao Xuan: "..."
During this time, he was busy cracking the secrets of the cloud pattern, and completely forgot about the thousand grains of gold in the backyard.
