- Crossing mountains and ridges is not a difficult task for me.
Only my daughter, Yin'er, has been pampered since she was a child and has been pampered for so many years. Even though she was in trouble later, she still exhausted every ounce of her strength by trekking through mountains and rivers for several days. She is a stunningly beautiful young woman. She was unwilling to let others carry the sedan chair, so in the end I had to carry her on my back.
Fortunately, before I could no longer support it, we met Jia Ba, the chief of the Barrow tribe, who came to greet us. What was wonderful was that he actually led a few donkeys, which made it easier for Xiao Yin'er to sit on the donkey. , follow us forward steadily.
Elder Cheli and his party have traveled through the Zongduan Mountains many times, and the roads are always easier to walk. Even so, we walked for a total of five days before we walked out of the Zongduan Mountains on the first day of May.
Fortunately, we are all experienced in the battlefield. We are not afraid of tiredness or anything. On the contrary, the joy of conquering the Zongduan Mountains echoes in our hearts, so much so that our friends started shouting and yelling.
Zhebaizan is right. Beyond the Zongduan Mountains, it is the territory of the Barrow tribe.
But he didn't make it clear. In fact, the Barrow tribe occupies a very large area, with a plain and hilly area all their territory. It is almost twice the size of the Sorb grassland, and the population is also extremely dense. There are at least tens of thousands of tents of various colors.
This is still nearby, and there are more and more tents in the distance that we can't see, but the snow in the distance has not melted, so we don't know how many there are.
Even when leaving the Zongduan Mountains. Waves of cool and cold wind were blowing at us. From this, I also believed what Uncle Cheli said. The weather near the Ussuri River is really fucking crazy. It¡¯s May and the ice is still melting. I¡¯m afraid Is it only a place in the far north like Wakkanai Castle that can compare with it?
"Brother Bao, what do you think of my place?" When a group of Jurchen warriors galloped over on their horses, Jia Ba pointed forward cheerfully.
"It's much more prosperous and prosperous than Brother Zhebaizan's place." I said politely.
"Haha, you are not being honest." Jia Ba was not fooled. Pointing at me, "What is prosperity? Isn't it just that there are more people? I envy that old guy. He made a mistake and met you, Brother Bao. From then on, we have truly prospered! Our side Well, it¡¯s just a year of hard work without starving to death, it can¡¯t be compared!¡±
Speaking of grasslands, you only need to find a place with abundant water and grass. Then you can avoid wind and cold in winter, such as this territory of the Barrow tribe. The cattle, sheep, and horses will grow well, and with the supplements of wild vegetables, fish, etc., people will not starve to death.
But if you want to live a better life, you must exchange what you have and buy and sell goods.
"It just so happens that there are very poor people for hundreds of miles around here. The nearest one is Yueliji City, which is three hundred miles away. It's a place where even traveling merchants don't want to come. Even if they come, they only buy things at low prices. Selling things at high prices has caused the Barrow tribe to suffer a lot, and they can't even talk about becoming rich.
I have bought and sold things in Sobu Grassland several times, and although I have gotten a lot of benefits, I feel very comfortable eating first-class refined salt, and drinking a small cup of "Hero's Blood" during the New Year and festivals, the problem is that it is limited by the geographical environment. There was too little exchange, but there was no way to increase the transaction volume, which made Jia Ba and Elder Cheli extremely anxious.
??Now, look at the more than 1,300 people I led. Everyone was carrying large and small cowhide backpacks and bamboo-backed baskets on their backs. Jia Ba and others' eyes lit up, and they quickly called for an oxcart and placed their things steadily on the oxcart.
No matter whether the Jurchens are rich or poor, as long as they are friends they recognize, there is no ambiguity about slaughtering cows and sheep.
They even prepared bathing water for us very carefully. After working hard for several days, soaking in the hot big wooden barrel was a fairy-like enjoyment.
As soon as you take a bath and wash away the dirt, you will naturally feel hungry.
As early as when we were taking a bath, we smelled the rich fragrance coming from outside.
This kind of beef and mutton marinated and coated with spices and first-class refined salt without any expense is really fragrant when grilled. Even those of us who eat it frequently these days feel our stomachs rumbling, let alone them. These guys from the Luo tribe.
When we went out, it was almost dusk.
¡°You annoying little thing, you actually have such shameless means to lure people into taking the bait, you are really bad~~¡±
While soaking in the tub, Xiao Yin'er talked lazily. When she came out, she was even more shocked - there were dozens of bonfire shelves not far away, and there was a dense crowd surrounding them. , there are at least two to three thousand people, and she can clearly understandI saw the obsessed expression when facing the people on my side, looking at the beef and mutton intently.
"Hey, sister, only by making them feel that our goods are the best in the world and irreplaceable can they help take care of your subordinates and their families." I said with a slight movement of my lips, "You Look at what they are like now, if we don¡¯t leave all the spices we carry here this time, I¡¯m afraid they will have to go to war with us!¡±
¡°Giggle~~¡±
Xiao Yin'er heard it interestingly. After smiling, she pulled me forward and walked forward.
"Brother Bao, why don't you rest a little longer?" Jia Ba came up to him and said with an eager look on his face.
"Forget it, if I don't come out, the people in the tribe will drown me with saliva." I shook my head and laughed.
"Thishehe"
Jia Ba was a little embarrassed, but it was true: Brother Bao was really generous. Even before the business was done, he bought us a hundred kilograms of spices and first-class refined salt, just for tonight's dinner Oh , by the way, there are also 100 kilograms each of "Hero's Blood" and "Drunken Immortal Brew", which are also free, which are worth a lot of money!
"It's true that Jia Ba and the others are poor, but poor people can also have a sense of heroism, and they can also have a cheerful and unobtrusive personality.
Similarly, such people prefer friends who are generous and generous, and do not like people who are petty and petty.
Thinking of this, Jia Ba, Elder Cheli and a group of people beside me felt a deeper affection for me.
Looking around, he saw that his friends, the Rakshasa guards and the warriors of the Sorbu tribe were all waiting around. Jia Ba said loudly: "If everyone is here, then Brother Bao, we Let¡¯s start tonight¡¯s dinner!¡±
"good!"
I clapped my hands happily and said, "Thank you to the patriarch for your hospitality!"
"Where are the words!"
Jia Ba took my arm and walked forward, shouting: "Young boys, start cutting the meat and putting it on the plate! Girls, start dancing!"
Following his shout, the crowd around them all moved quickly and moved out of the way, revealing to us the simple small tables and wooden benches in the middle, which were naturally used by people of high status. .
It goes without saying that the grassland people are generous and generous, and our people have also gained proficiency experience after many dinner parties. After a while, the two groups of people gathered together, eating and drinking happily.
There are more than 40,000 people in the Barrow tribe, but only 3,000 people participated in the dinner. This is because although they have many cattle and sheep, they cannot eat and drink as much as they want, anytime and anywhere every day. Saving and saving are the only things that matter. The survival of poor tribes.
I also like the dinner party on the grassland very much. Compared with Uncle Zhao and his elegant dinner party in the Song Dynasty, although the dishes here are very vulgar and the atmosphere is not elegant, it has a hearty and natural atmosphere from the inside out, which is easy to let go. People relax their body and mind and are completely immersed in it.
However, I didn¡¯t come here just for enjoyment. Under the pitiful look of my lovely wife beside me, I just had a few drinks and ate a tender lamb leg, and then I asked Jia Ba about the situation of the Wusuli River. .
Through what Elder Cheli said when he came back, Jia Ba was already prepared. Hearing this, he waved his hand, and a middle-aged man standing three feet behind us immediately ran over with a bow and a nod.
The middle-aged man is very thin, with an apologetic smile on his face, and the clothes he wears are relatively ragged. He exudes an aura of weakness, and he can tell at a glance that he is not full.
"Clan leader, elder!"
Although he was greeting respectfully, the middle-aged man's eyes still drifted unconsciously to the tender lamb and beef on the table, which exuded infinite charm. His throat kept moving, apparently swallowing saliva.
Elder Cheli frowned, picked up a leg of lamb and threw it to him, "Wugulie, Master Yinxing has something to ask you. Tell me honestly. If there is anything wrong, be careful with your skin! "
A man named Wu Gulie was a man who escaped from the Wusuli River. Because he was articulate and good at telling stories, everyone liked to call him to talk and joke with him at gatherings. Therefore, he was considered to be one of the most famous people in the world. After accommodating the rest of the incompetent people who entered the Barrow tribe, the best thing was to become herd slaves and barely survive.
Based on the experience last time, Elder Cheli had already said hello that Wu Gulie was not allowed to speak too harshly and must whitewash the peace As for when he went to the Wusuli River, the situation was different from what he said. We can wait until the time comes. Anyway, we can¡¯t let the little lady grieve too early at this time.
When Wu Gulie nodded repeatedly, he was already? He devoured the lamb leg, and in just two or three times, his mouth was filled with the fragrant lamb, making his mouth full of oil.
Wu Gulie doesn¡¯t care about the reactions of the people here. When there is no guarantee for eating, all etiquette is put aside. As long as there is something in his stomach, that is the most important thing.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
It means that when the rice in the warehouse is abundant, you will pay attention to etiquette; and only when you are full and clothed, you will consider issues of honor and disgrace.
Wu Gulie may not have studied the Four Books and Five Classics, but his actual actions interpret these two sentences.
