In the scorching hot days, Qing Yan and his group traveled through the dense forest to reach the Spotted Deer Tribe. This ti, they brought even more items, for no other reason than this being their last exchange before the rainy season. Therefore, they needed to exchange for lots of dried at to take back, as the next ti would be only after the rainy season.
“There are still so many people…” Wa Ming sighed.
“It is because everyone knows this is the last market before the rainy season. There are naturally going to be more people here.” Da Gua calmly said.
Da Gua usually does not talk much. Though, whenever he spoke, he was always to the point.
“I feel like there are even more people today than before…” Qing Yan remarked.
Since returning to the Tribe, he had often been responsible for leading the Totem Warriors to trade with the Spotted Deer Tribe.
The route to the Spotted Deer Tribe was not that peaceful, with many Wanderers often causing trouble.
Other Small Tribes often encountered bandits on their way to exchange goods with the Spotted Deer Tribe.
Once targeted, the lucky ones would only have their goods stolen, while in serious cases, they might get killed.
So, the path here was froth with danger, and Qing Yan gradually beca the Boss of the Trading Team.
Being an Elder of the Tribe and having a ton of experience, the rest naturally trusted him.
“Today’s crowd is quite good, we’ll definitely be able to exchange all the goods we brought over,” Mai Mang happily patted his big belly.
They brought twice as many goods today as before, planning to set up stalls outside the Spotted Deer Tribe so they could get better prices.
This was sothing they had gradually figured out. Originally, they exchanged one ceramic piece for one bag of dried at. But, so Large Tribes who could not get any added half a bag of dried at more to trade with them.
After this happened a few tis, they got a taste for it and directly changed the rate to two bags of dried at per ceramic piece.
Although the price doubled instantly, people still traded, though they were not snapped up as quickly as before.
Previously they could exchange everything within half an hour, but after raising the price, it took about an hour.
This was when they learned to raise the stakes in trading, bringing fewer items but getting more in return, which was quite satisfying.
“I’ll first take the goods to the Spotted Deer Tribesn, the rest of you can set up the stalls in the anti. Rember to do it like before.” Qing Yan reminded.
“We know,” Wa Ming patted his chest.
After Qing Yan nodded, he began walking into the Spotted Deer Tribe. Every ti they ca, those of the Spotted Deer Tribe were very excited. It was for no other reason than that they could obtain lots of linen, which was vital to them.
Right now, they use this linen to exchange for various goods with other Tribes. It was now the main good that made their market a true marketplace.
Previously, due to issues with the salt suppliers, the market almost failed. It was the tily appearance of linen that helped them avoid the worst outco.
Xi Guo spread a large piece of Animal Hide on the ground, skillfully displaying ceramic pieces, linen, and so other items.
Before they even started arranging things, people were already continuously gathering around them.
They were already familiar with Qing Yan’s group, and knew that whenever they appeared, good items would surely be available.
Every market day, they eagerly awaited their arrival. Though, sotis, they would inevitably be disappointed.
After all, the Spotted Deer Tribe and Fla Dragon Tribe agreed to trade every eight days, not like the market’s fifteen-day cycle. So, sotis, they would not et. ŕ𝘈Νộ𝐛Ёꞩ
“Everyone, don’t rush. Take it slow. My toes will definitely thank you for it,” Da Guo said. He was quite pissed, for no other reason than having his foot stepped on.
These people were too frenzied. If they were not stopped, they might even start grabbing the goods.
“This ti, we’ve brought many items. So, you don’t need to worry about us running out as long as you have enough dried at prepared.” Xi Guo also loudly shouted.
The surrounding crowd was noisy. If they did not shout, they would not be able to hear them. After all, their eyes were fixed only on the items on the Animal Hide.
“I brought a lot, I can exchange for three this ti!” Soone in the crowd excitedly exclaid.
“I also brought lots of dried at, give one this ti. I couldn’t get any the last ti!” another person shouted.
“ too! too! Last ti I could have exchanged, but the dried at requirent suddenly increased! But this ti, I brought more!” Soone else shouted from the crowd.
“Get lost! You look like you can’t afford it so don’t block my way!” Soone said with disdain.
“Like you can afford it! Like your Tribe can afford it!” that person replied defiantly.
Similar shouts continued endlessly. Da Gua and others were already used to this, It was like this every ti.
There were even physical fights, all for just one ceramic piece or even a piece of linen.
Xi Guo suddenly stood up, raising his hand to gesture for them to be quiet. “Stop arguing! Be quiet! Or I won’t let any of you trade with us.”
After hearing this, the crowd abruptly stopped. Everyone kept their mouths tightly shut. They knew it was better not to speak at this mont.
“Those who want to trade with us, prepare the dried a, and I will trade with you,” Xi Guo solemnly said and stressed, “But, I will prioritize those who are willing to give up more dried at.”
This was equivalent to an auction. Whoever offered the highest price would get it. As long as they gave more dried at, they could get the ceramic piece.
“That’s right, starting at two bags of dried at per ceramic piece, first co first served!” Mai Mang added from the side.
Da Gua maintained order on the side. If anyone dared to cause trouble or not listen, he would drive them away or even beat them up.
People in this era were all simple. Sotis, they would never learn their lesson unless they got beaten up. Only after being beaten hard would they feel the pain and think about not doing such things again.
“I’m ready! I have two full bags of dried at!” Shouted soone at the front of the crowd.
He was already tightly clutching two bags of dried at to his body, waiting for just this mont.
