- After joking for a while, Zhao Hongyu became serious.
He said to the eagle: "Bison skins, reindeer skins, live pheasants and live wild boars are also acceptable. We will have to negotiate the specific quantity at that time. In addition, some mushrooms in the forest can also be exchanged.", For Zhao Hongyu, everything in this era can bring benefits, and there is nothing he does not need.
At the same time, he also took out an imperial gold coin from his pocket and waved it in front of the eagle's eyes.
"You can also use this kind of thing to exchange for weapons."
Considering that there are many gold veins nearby and the quantity is large, it is not certain that the Cook people will have gold.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu specially took out the gold coins and showed them to Xiongying to test him.
Sure enough, after seeing the gold coins, the eagle's eyes lit up.
¡°Aha, do these strangers like this kind of broken stone?
This is really great.
Seeing Zhao Hongyu saying to himself that he could actually use the stones that could be seen everywhere around the tribal camp to exchange for weapons, the eagle almost jumped up with joy.
Yes, the Cook people originally lived on the edge of the forest, but because summer is coming, they temporarily migrated to the forest.
There are many stones of this color around the new tribal camp.
The Cook people don¡¯t care about these stones at all.
In their opinion, these things are no different from stones, they are just different in color.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? have have had or had with???????ising, is that you can't eat or use,? is? of no use at all? is that?.
?Compared to garbage, these things are more like garbage among garbage.
It¡¯s just that Xiongying didn¡¯t expect that these strangers would actually like this garbage.
Ha ha!
The eagle smiled happily in his heart.
Of course, he did not reveal this, after all, these garbage can be exchanged for weapons.
"Are you sure you can use this stone to exchange for weapons?"
Although he made up his mind not to spill the beans, Xiong Ying, who had no business experience, still revealed some things to Zhao Hongyu.
Stone?
This guy who calls himself a Cook warrior actually says that gold is a stone.
It¡¯s really my God!
It seems that the other party must have seen gold, and he has seen a lot of it.
? ? ? ? ? ? ?Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked this.
¡° Moreover, the other party must not be curious about gold, otherwise they would not say it is a stone.
Hehe, it looks like he is going to get rich.
Zhao Hongyu also became happy.
Zhao Hongyu and Xiong Ying both chuckled in their hearts.
They each believed that they had taken advantage of it.
Actually, this matter is a matter of benevolence and wisdom.
It depends on the angle from which you look at this issue.
In the eyes of Zhao Hongyu, gold is a kind of currency, and it can also be sold into the trading system, and then some materials that are not available or lacking in this world can be purchased from the trading system.
Therefore, gold is a very important and useful metal for Zhao Hongyu.
But looking at it on the other hand, what is the use of gold to the Cook tribe?
The Cook people and the Indians in the San Francisco area do not have a currency system and are still in the barter social system stage. They all use their own items in exchange for some items they need.
Therefore, gold, which has become the most important monetary measure and status contender in the East and West, has become no different from stone here in San Francisco.
¡°Gold will only become important when it is needed. If it is not needed, gold is no different from garbage.
This is particularly evident in the San Francisco area.
It is precisely because of this that gold becomes a useless stone in the eyes of an eagle.
After all, gold has no use here in San Francisco. It can¡¯t be eaten or drunk, so it¡¯s not garbage or something.
"No wonder the eagle thinks so.
But now it¡¯s different. The stone that originally looked like garbage to the eagle is actually needed by someone.
Where there is a need, there will be a market, and where there is a market, there will be utility.
Even if it is trash, it can be turned into a treasure if there is a need.
"Are you sure you need such a stone?"
These words of Xiongying are still lingering in Zhao Hongyu¡¯s ears. need! Of course it is.
And the more, the merrier.
Zhao Hongyu nodded quickly and said to Xiongying: "Yes, for a stone as big as yours, ten dollars can be exchanged for an iron machete. At the same time, we also have many other products here that will definitely satisfy you. "
The piece of gold that Xiongying took out weighed about tens of grams by visual inspection.
Zhao Hongyu actually said as soon as he opened his mouth that ten pieces of gold of this size could be exchanged for an iron machete.
This is an absolute huge profit.
If you are a modern person, you will definitely spit on your face when you hear the price offered by Zhao Hongyu.
However, this was the American continent in the seventeenth century, and it was still a very primitive and backward West Coast of North America.
Although the price offered by Zhao Hongyu may be considered outrageous by later generations, Xiongying thought it was a big advantage.
These stones are of no use at all, but he only needs ten stones as big as his hands to get a strong and sharp iron machete. He is simply making a lot of money.
Therefore, he nodded quickly and said to Zhao Hongyu seriously: "Then let's make an agreement. You must not go back on your word, and you must keep your promise."
Looking at the serious look on the eagle, and then at the serious look on his face, Zhao Hongyu couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
Regret?
Damn it, only a mentally retarded person would regret it.
Why should I regret it? This is a hugely profitable deal.
An iron machete purchased from the virtual world only costs a few dozen yuan, but one gram of gold costs two to three hundred yuan.
It can be said that an iron machete, which was not surprising in later generations, can be sold for a sky-high price in this era.
This deal is definitely a good deal.
Zhao Hongyu will not regret it.
There is money to be made, why should you regret it?
He is not an idiot.
"Don't worry, I will stick to my word and I will never go back on it."
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and patted his chest until it made a "pengpeng" sound, making a promise to the eagle.
However, despite the empty talk, Xiong Ying doesn¡¯t quite believe this.
So, Xiongying finally made a cut on his thumb with the machete in his hand, then handed the machete to Zhao Hongyu and looked at him with gleaming eyes.
Wow, it turns out you have to swear a blood oath by yourself.
After seeing Xiong Ying¡¯s reaction and everything he did, how could Zhao Hongyu not know Xiong Ying¡¯s plan.
Yes, Indians believe in the existence of gods, and they take their oaths very seriously.
For Xiongying, Zhao Hongyu can only gain his trust by swearing a blood oath, and there is no other way.
"And Zhao Hongyu is on the east coast and has long-standing dealings with the Mohawks and many tribes. How could he not know the meaning of the eagle?
Although he complained in his heart that he was going to bleed again, he still took the machete and made a cut with his thumb in the same manner.
Then, the two put their thumbs together, letting the blood blend with each other, and under the leadership of the eagle, they made an oath in the name of a god called "Mama".
At this point, Xiongying put down Xinlai and let out a long breath.
Actually, it¡¯s no wonder that Xiongying is so nervous and serious, and eager to make Zhao Hongyu swear.
After all, in the eyes of Xiongying, exchanging stones for weapons is a sign of good luck, and he encountered a big brain-dead man.
¡°You may not encounter such a brainless person once in your life.
Since he met him this time, he must catch him and not let him go.
With these weapons, the force value of the Cook tribe will definitely be greatly improved.
And after confirming that there are really tens of thousands of elite warriors under this brainless tribal leader, it will be of great benefit to the Cook tribe to unite with them.
With the mentality that people are stupid, stupid, and can take advantage, how could the Eagle not be nervous?
No one would believe the matter of exchanging stones for weapons.
Zhao Hongyu looked at the eagle with a smile. Little did he know that his behavior would be regarded as a brain-dead person by the Indians in the seventeenth century.
I really don¡¯t know if he should cry or laugh after knowing what Xiongying was thinking.
But thinking about it, it is impossible for Zhao Hongyu to know what Xiong Ying is thinking, because Xiong Ying is not a fool, how could he put himselfSpeak out what is on your mind.
¡°After all, it¡¯s not often you encounter a mentally retarded person who can take advantage of you. Once you encounter him, you must be careful to protect him.
Just now, Xiongying heard Zhao Hongyu say that they still have a lot of products here.
What is the product?
Xiongying is not sure about this, but according to his guess, it may be something used in exchange.
It might be fur, or it might be something else, but the other party¡¯s name is very strange, ¡®commodity¡¯?
Haha, no matter what it is called, as long as it can be exchanged for stones.
After making the oath, Xiongying's enthusiasm for Zhao Hongyu went up a few levels.
Under the protection of the Imperial Guards, Zhao Hongyu took the eagle and began to walk towards the temporary camp.
Along the way, the Eagle looked at the unsmiling Guards soldiers from time to time, and expressed a series of curiosity about the costumes and weapons of the Guards soldiers.
Whenever there is anything you don¡¯t understand, Xiongying will ask Zhao Hongyu.
For the sake of gold, Zhao Hongyu also used enough patience to explain everything to Xiong Ying.
When the Eagle saw a Guardsman wearing a shining silver half-armor, his eyes suddenly shone.
Iron armor can protect against sword slashes.
These two features alone are enough to make the Eagle's heart beat wildly.
¡°Moreover, on the way to the temporary camp, Zhao Hongyu also took out many other things, which stunned the eagle.
Matches!
Refined salt!
Sugar!
Clothing for all seasons in spring, summer, autumn and winter (Chinese style in the 1950s, mostly worker and peasant clothing), as well as green rubber-soled shoes.
The most important thing is the white rice, corn, potatoes, and other vegetables that Zhao Hongyu brought out.
These are all grains, things you can eat to fill your stomach.
Weapons and clothes are not important. For the Indian tribes living in San Francisco, the food they eat is the most important thing.
It¡¯s just that the eagle saw rice, potatoes, corn, and some other green vegetables for the first time.
So, he doesn¡¯t know how to eat these foods and what they taste like.
Therefore, although he was surprised, he still had some reservations about it.
And Zhao Hongyu¡¯s reaction to the eagle was seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart.
He is not in a hurry. Anyway, he can just go to the temporary place and cook him a meal.
¡°As long as the eagle has tasted the food made from these ingredients, he doesn¡¯t believe that the country turtle will not be shocked.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The eagle struck a match and looked at the burning stick with his eyes fixed on it, not even looking at the road.
If Zhao Hongyu hadn¡¯t pulled him several times, he might have bumped into the tree trunk so many times.
The small match has now completely attracted the eagle's attention.
Although this thing does not have much gold content, for the Indian eagles in the seventeenth century, it was a great thing.
You know, the various Indian tribes living on the west coast still rely on drilling wood to make fire.
In every tribe, there will be a fire that is lit and tries to keep the fire going out.
Because only in this way can families and people in the tribe be able to obtain fire in a short time when needed.
However, this is still a bit troublesome.
However, if you have matches, everything will become very simple.
The match in the eagle's hand burned out quickly, and he threw the almost burned match on the ground.
"Is this one of the things we exchange, that is, trade?"
The eagle asked enthusiastically.
Zhao Hongyu nodded: "Yes, the things I showed you before are all things we can exchange, that is, trade. You can exchange them for furs, game, or stones."
After listening to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s words, Xiongying no longer knew what language he should use to describe today¡¯s experience.
Could it be that he was favored by the gods today, so he got lucky?
Otherwise, how could he encounter such a good thing and also encounter such a brain-dead person.
Haha, stones are exchanged for things.
Every time I listen??When this stranger said this, he would have the urge to look up to the sky and laugh.
The eagle endured very hard.
"It's really great. I can't wait to startwell, trade."
It¡¯s true that the Eagle can¡¯t wait, but this compliment is a bit false.
The reason why he said he couldn't wait was because he was afraid that Zhao Hongyu would no longer intend to exchange stones for things.
That¡¯s why the eagle said this.
This is just a little thought on his part.
Time passed very quickly, and about an hour later, Zhao Hongyu led the eagle to the temporary camp on the beach.
As soon as it set eyes, Xiongying saw a bustling construction site scene and dense crowds of people.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
There are really so many people!
Especially when the eagle's eyes surrendered to the sea, his pupils shrank sharply.
Hiss!
He first took a breath of air, and then lost his voice: "What is this!"
Seventy-two huge warships were parked there on the sea, giving the Eagle an unparalleled shock. (To be continued.
