Chen Chao listened to the little old man's words, and thought about it again. It is estimated that the purpose of the Jie tribe's net bag is mainly for fishing. Since it is fishing, the rattan basket can also be used, and the effect of the rattan basket is much better than the net bag. .
Thinking of this, Chen Chao said to Brown Witch, "There are only two net pockets left, and we have to use them ourselves, so we can't exchange them for him. But we have something more powerful than net pockets, so ask him if he wants it."
After the Brown Witch conveyed what Super Chen meant by gesturing, Chief Jie was disappointed for a while, and then became interested in what Super Chen said about 'something more powerful'.
He thought that there would be a big net bag instead of a small one, but he looked left, right, up and down, but he didn't see anything more powerful or a bigger net bag.
These big stone basins on the ground don't look like they can catch river animals either.
Um
Why is their stone basin so smooth? Looks pretty thin
Only then did Leader Ring turn his attention to the stone basin on the ground, he squatted down, and caressed the clay pot closest to him.
He held the handle of the clay pot with both hands and lifted it up slightly.
Um? Why is it so light
But yes, if it is not thin, light and smooth, how can it be heated on a fire
Think about those big and heavy stone basins in your own tribe. To heat that one? I'm afraid it won't be hot even if it's heated until the end of time...
It's not like this light stone basin of others, put it on the fire, and the water in it boils in a short while.
I was on the other side before, but I could see it clearly!
Chen Chao originally planned to introduce something more useful than the net bag to Chief Jie right now, but seeing that his attention seemed to be diverted, he had no choice but to give up for now.
Leader Ring rubbed and inspected the clay pot under his hand. After touching it for a while, he reluctantly stood up and asked Brown Witch how to sell it with gestures.
The brown witch saw it, hey, the business is coming, I am good at this~
Didn't the few big deals of the Mushroom Tribe take place by themselves~~
So the brown witch repeated the trick of posing and talking about the price.
As a result, as soon as the person was put out, the leader ring almost staggered in fright.
A big stone basin, four grown men
This is too expensive!
It's really not the Brown Witch's fault. Before asking the price, he opened his mouth and asked Super Chen. The prices of the last four adult men were also announced after Chao Chen agreed.
In the end, it gave people a shock, which was also unexpected by the Brown Witch.
He secretly thought in his heart, "It shouldn't be so frightening at this price... And he can also counter the price. I didn't say I wouldn't let him pay it back..."
This is the advantage of the language barrier. When doing business, if there is anything tricky, you can just open your mouth and talk to each other. Anyway, the buyer didn't understand what he said, and he probably thought happily that he was chatting in his own tribe's dialect.
I don’t know, people are discussing, how to deal with the price later, how much can be paid back, where is the bottom line, etc.~
The leader ring really felt that the price was too expensive, according to his thoughts. The group of half-sized children in my own tribe can get back such a good net bag with two river beasts.
Of course, people may really want to show some kindness. When I come to trade today, it may be a little more expensive, but it probably won't be too expensive.
It may be... maybe... at most... two or three piglets or black pigs raised in the tribe can be exchanged for a lot of things.
But what he never expected was that this thing was so expensive, so expensive that he would have to exchange it with an adult man
Then he will have to weigh it carefully!
Chen Chao and the others looked at the leader Jie and thought for a while, then turned their heads and said a few words to a man next to him who looked like a follower, and the follower turned and left.
While Chief Jie was speaking, Super Chen observed carefully. It is found that the language of Jie tribe has been relatively perfect, at least some of the content that individuals want to express can be expressed through language.
Moreover, when the leader ring communicated with his followers, even though they spoke some dialects that Chao Chen couldn't understand. But it didn't prevent Super Chen from being able to see the coherence they showed when they spoke.
You know, whether it was the Tianyuan Tribe, the Brown Tribe, or even the Mushroom Tribe with about 200 people.
The language they have is more lexical, and the or tribe people have begun to express things like long sentences.
This shows that the language communication of the Jie tribe has developed to a certain extent.
But it should be like this, after all, the Jie tribe is a big tribe with five or six hundred people. Without a good language to keep daily life going, entire tribes could easily collapse.
Moreover, there is another very important reason why a tribe of more than 150 people can be maintained for a long time. That is whether these people can be convinced that there is a reason why they have been here.
Whether it's pantheism, or some reason such as a patron saint that belongs exclusively to the tribe. But there must be such a reason, or a 'story', that can bring hundreds or even thousands of people together.
Throughout the ages, the most important link to maintain human cooperation is the story.
Let people know, and firmly believe in certain reasons or certain 'stories'. Regardless of the narrator, the audience, or the answers to questions, all of these require a relatively complex and complete language system.
If you can only tell, not explain, and can't always perfect the 'story' told, then this big tribe will probably start to split from within.
It may not be an immediate split, but little by little, starting to doubt what you know.
Eventually it builds up to a crack that can never be repaired, and then, just, falls apart.
Otherwise, why do so many tribes fail to grow into large tribes, but start to split after about 150 members
In addition to food and environmental reasons, there is another most important thing, that is, there is nothing to condense them.
Chen Chao is here analyzing the reasons why the Jie tribe can develop and prosper, thinking about the mysteries of life and the universe.
A certain little old man next to him with a ram's horn was thinking that, because of Chen Chao's indiscriminate pricing, he asked for four grown men as soon as he came up. It's all right now, this business has been ruined abruptly.
So when Jie tribe's leader Jie turned his head to look into the distance, he jumped up and slapped Chen Chao on the back of the head.
Chen Chao? ?
Who hit me?
Who dares to beat the boss of this system? ?
My grass? How dare anyone in this world dare to beat the boss of this system? ?
