120 The Profiteer's Cultivation

"Tianyang, come out quickly and see what good things we brought to you this time!!" Before the person arrived, Ma Yao's strangely accented Chinese had already drifted into Li Tianyang's ears.

Hearing Ma Yao's shout, Li Tianyang patted his forehead, walked out of the library in the camp, and greeted him. If he didn't come out, with Ma Yao's anxious temper, he would really turn the camp upside down, and he wouldn't stop until Li Tian's support was found. As soon as he heard his voice this time, Li Tianyang knew that something must have hunted some good prey, and he came to Li Tianyang to show off.

"Uncle Lahouk, why did you come down the mountain with you when you had time today?" After coming out, in addition to the expected Ma Yao, he also followed his uncle, the spit of the hunting team of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, Lahouke.

"This time, our hunting place is near your stockade, so I also took everyone over to trade some supplies and went back." Uncle Lahok pointed to the dozen or so natives outside with a bag and bows and arrows.

"Look, look, this is a fine bear skin, my uncle shot it straight through the eyeball when he was hunting, and there is not a single arrow hole anywhere else! If you don't get a good price this time, we won't consider selling it to you! Ma Yao had an exaggerated expression on his face, showing off the entire black bear skin in his hand in front of Li Tianyang.

It is indeed a good skin, although it has not been nitrated, and a vague smell of rotten meat can be smelled, and it looks like it has just been hunted, but the oily and slippery black hair alone can make people fall in love at first sight, and they can't help but stroke a few handfuls.

Watching Ma Yao's lame bargaining eloquence, Li Tianyang couldn't help but want to tease him: "Hey, the skin is a good skin, but it's a pity that it's the same for us, it's not like to shave the hair and use it, no matter how good it is, it's useless!" ”

"This, this, this, you can also keep it for yourself, look at me, this shoulder on my body, how comfortable it is to wear, and it is durable, and it has not worn out for several years." Ma Yao was dumbfounded, he was still very clear about the purpose of Li Tianyang's wool purchase, and Li Tianyang did not intend to hide it from them.

"Such a big sun, you told me to use it myself, what to do with it, you tell me!" Li Tianyang pointed to the hot fireball in the sky and said angrily.

"Then I don't care, if I don't give a high price this time, I won't leave, I will live with you every day, eat and drink for nothing!!" Compared with Li Tianyang, Ma Yao, a hairy young man, is his opponent, and in the end he can only play a scoundrel.

"Haha~~~" Li Tianyang and Lahouke laughed together, and in the end, the thin-skinned Ma Yao couldn't stand it, and after throwing the leather on his hand to Lahouke, he blushed and dropped a sentence and ran away: "I don't care, uncle, you can discuss it with Tianyang, this nasty guy, I'll go to Wu Jie and them!" ”

Of course, it's a joke, although most of Li Tianyang's wool materials are used to make toothbrushes and brushes, but for those furs that are in good condition and are intact, they will still intentionally keep them, and when they accumulate more, they will sell them in Yuegang for money. This is not as good as in later generations, when various environmental organizations and state agencies are staring at you, and you are not allowed to use the fur of these large creatures, and many large families will still buy some wool such as bear skins and tiger skins to make clothes or decorate the living room.

Therefore, good wool can still be sold at a good price in this area of Jiangnan. The Jiangnan area has been widely developed in recent years, and many large animals are rarely able to survive near the village, and if you want to hunt a good fur, it is much rarer than in the wild places like the north and Dayuan Island. Like the leather in Lahok's hand now, it is enough to make a set of leather jackets and there is a surplus, if it is transported to the moon port, the general price is also sold to about ten taels of silver, and if you are lucky, it is not impossible to sell more than fifteen taels.

In the end, it was Lahouk who led a group of natives who had gone down the mountain to hunt, accompanied by Li Tianyang, to the purchase point opened outside the camp to complete the transaction. The currency traded here is not silver for nothing, but bags of packaged and weighed grain, or cloth, salt, and even clothes that can be exchanged for things, which can be regarded as allowing Li Tianyang to experience the ancient life of bartering.

The black bear skin in Lahok's hand bought him more than a stone of grain, which when converted into silver, would not exceed one or two taels of silver at most, but it was much higher than Lahok expected in his heart. Looking at Lahouke, who was carrying a bag full of hemp grains and was surprised, Li Tianyang had a smile on his face, but he was very unhappy in his heart. These simple indigenous people have no sense of business at all, and for them, no matter how beautiful their fur is, they can't match the heavy bags of grain in their hands.

Of course, the other natives are also satisfied, piles of animal bones and bird bones that are in the way of burning the fire in the group, but they can be exchanged for bags of light or heavy food, in Tan Men's opinion, Li Tianyang's head must have entered the water, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing.

Not long after, the group of people who had finished the transaction had already packed their bags and were ready to leave for home.

"Won't you stay any longer, Uncle Lahouk? Dinner will be served at the camp in a moment, and I will invite you all to have a meal before we leave. Li Tianyang looked at Lahouke carrying a large bag of grain, but as if there was nothing, he was easily ready to go on the road.

"No, if you don't go back, you won't be able to get home before dark." Lahok looked at the sky and smiled innocently: "My mother-in-law helped me give birth to twin sons again, and I don't feel at ease when I'm not by her side." ”

"Really? Congratulations to the uncle, if you come back next time, I will prepare a gift, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for my younger brothers! Li Tianyang looked at Lahok enviously, everyone is now the father of five children.

Since Li Tianyang and them settled in a camp here and communicated with the natives of the Zhuluo Mountain Society, the natives of the Zhuluo Mountain Society have ushered in a wave of fertility peaks, as long as they are adult men and women who have taken the marriage, four or five out of ten have given birth in the past six months, and the earlier ones have even given birth. But if you think about it, it's a matter of course.

In the past, the biggest factor restricting the population growth of the Zhuluo Mountain Society was the lack of food, but now Li Tianyang has exchanged a large amount of food for the natives of the Zhuluo Mountain by purchasing land, hiring labor, and exchanging goods, so that they will no longer be hungry like before. Everyone can eat enough every day, so the energy must be high, and the natives have no entertainment, so what can they do at night except 'hey, hey, hey' in bed???
