The clansmen called Yu Qian'er, who ran barefoot and shouted from afar, "Brother, I was looking for you." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What's wrong?"

"You taste this, it's really bitter."

took out a black cake from her pocket and gave it to Chen Jian, she entered the play.

The black cake is not made of tubers or anything like that, but it is strange that the fern root powder and some small thistles that have not been washed and dried in the sun are not bitter to eat.

Chen Jianming knew that the taste was not very good, so he still pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, pulled his neck and swallowed it, seemingly unintentionally giving it to the number ninety-one.

Count nine and chew it carefully, the taste is a little bitter, but if you chew it carefully, it will turn sweet, which is the characteristic of all grains.

She didn't know that it was the sweetness of the starch in the saliva when it met the amylase in the saliva turned into sugar, but she knew that it could judge whether it could satisfy her hunger.

When I swallowed that piece of bread, it was bitter in my mouth and bitter in my heart.

The bitterness in her heart is not because of the continuation of the taste in her mouth, but because she knows that this thing is a kind of food, even if it does not have the sweetness of corn and the fragrance of soya beans, but it can satisfy her stomach, and she is afraid that she really can't change the way to make wheels!

They all came from that wilderness, as long as they could eat, only after the food was rich and surplus, they would consider the fine taste, not to mention that it was just a little bitter, that is, the maggot stinky meat had not all been eaten, and one year I had eaten the indigestible nuts from bird droppings.

Her last hesitation was just thinking about how to speak so as not to appear to be eager.

Chen Jian saw that he was almost done, pinched the cake and said to Yu Qian'er: "Although it is bitter, it won't last long." You accompany the people of the Eyue tribe and wait for me to come back. ”

Gesturing to the number nine, he walked towards the riverside dock, which was already full of goods.

With every step, Jian Chen felt a little heavy, looking forward to counting nine to call him back.

This is a kind of confrontation, whoever speaks first will lose, but if the number nine doesn't speak, Jian Chen can only find an excuse to come back and talk to her again, in that case, there will be no initiative at all.

There were still more than a dozen steps away from the riverbank, and the number nine still didn't speak, and it was impossible for Jian Chen to look back, seeing that he could see the wooden rafters on the bark boat, he thought, do you want to find an excuse to go back?

It's just that he doesn't have the quickness of King Chen's seven-step poem, nor the eloquence of Zhang Yi, so he can't think of any excuse for a while.

Then he could only stumble his feet, and when his body was already leaning out, the sound of counting nine finally came from behind him.

"Wait!"

Jian Chen retracted the foot that was preparing for Wei, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Since this cake has a bitter taste, why not plant soya beans? Don't do what an ox cart is, but a good wheel is always indispensable. ”

"But...... Time is running out, let's talk again, and it will take a few more days. ”

"No, it won't."

She looked at the sky and said, "Two hours at most." ”

The hour is the time when their tribe uses a water leak pot, Chen Jian can't understand it, but his mind is ecstatic, since it is the mouth that is opened first by counting nine, this is easy to say.

When the two of them re-entered the council hall, Jian Chen finally saw the priest's decisiveness.

"You can ask your people to prepare salt and wheels now, and change these first. Go down the river, take my jade jue, and Eyue will give you beans immediately. As for whether you can plant it in time, it depends on how quickly you come back. ”

She took out a white jade in the shape of a silkworm moth from her waist and handed it to Chen Jian, her hand was cold, and the carving was lifelike, showing the profound heritage of their tribe.

took Yu Jue and asked, "How to change?" ”

"How many people are you going to go? How many boats? How much can each boat hold? ”

"Eighty boats, five people each, pulled back against the current when they came back. Each boat can hold 700 catties in exchange for 60,000 catties of beans. ”

"Still can't trust us? You obviously have more boats, and 40,000 catties of seeds may not be able to. Afraid that we will intercept and kill halfway? ”

"I'm going to keep enough men in the city, what if the scalping tribe from the north comes?"

Shu Jiu smiled and shook his head, and said in his heart, how can that tribe beat you, if it weren't for the fear that we would stab you when you sent your troops to attack the north, you could still tell us that there were big livestock there, and you would have robbed them yourself.

After laughing, he calmed down, lowered his head and took out the calculation chips, calculated for a while, looked up and said: "Five hundred catties of salt, ten pairs of wheels, one thousand catties of wheat and peas after harvest, and the season of planting." There is not much time, this is the first exchange, and the rest of us will talk slowly. You can go arrange your people. ”

Simply and neatly said the price of the exchange, and after careful calculation, it really didn't take too much time.

Jian Chen took Yujue out of the room and found Yu Qian'er, who was still acting with Hongyu in the room.

On such a hot day, wearing strange leather boots and pants glued together with fish maw glue, Hongyu was already covered in sweat, and was unbuttoning the two buttons on his shirt in the wind, and his face was hot and red.

Chen Jian's heart suddenly moved, he took a deep breath to suppress the thoughts in his heart, called Yu Qian'er aside, and Hongyu walked to the corner very consciously.

"Brother, are you done talking to that woman? How can it be so fast this time? ”

She was also anxious. In this way, this time to go to the exchange, you lead the team. ”

"Me?"

Yu Qian'er was startled and hurriedly asked, "Why me?" I've never been this far. ”

"Do you remember the first time I drove the ox cart? The ox had never pulled a cart, but never once again. ”

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"No, I have something to do. Sister, you should do something for the clan and let the clan know that you are very powerful. ”

Yu Qian'er frowned, not knowing what Jian Chen meant, Jian Chen simply made his words clear.

"My grandmother's health is getting worse day by day, she coughs every day these days, and she has to sleep on her stomach when she sleeps, so that she can spit, you know. If...... If one day, the old grandmother goes to the place where the ancestors lived, I want you to be the head of our clan. ”

"Huh? What about you? What are you going to do? ”

She was suddenly a little scared, thinking that her brother was going to leave the city?

Chen Jian knew that it was difficult for Yu Qian'er to accept it for a while, so he had to explain carefully: "Listen to me, you have taken the clansmen to repair the house, if the matter of changing the beans is done, the clansmen will not refuse, and you have only seen the deciduous green shoots twice less than me." ”

"I'm the head of the council now, but the council will still have veto power for a long time to come, and if I become the head of our clan, fifteen people will become fourteen, and there will be one less person to support me, so it won't work."

"And, as I said, we want to build a new small city on the border with the Eyue tribe."

The first few reasons are acceptable, but when it comes to the third reason, Yu Qian'er immediately jumped to the side and shouted: "I'm not going!" Brother, why do you want me to leave the city? ”

After the words, tears had begun to roll in the corners of her eyes, and Jian Chen stretched out his hand and wiped it on the corners of her eyes and said, "I can't cry in the future, where did I say I want to drive you away?" I mean, in the future, there will be one of our people in charge of that city, and one of us who will stand with us, and it will be well managed, and the goods exchanged will surprise the other tribes, so that the council will have one more person to support us. ”

When Yu Qian'er heard that she didn't let herself leave the city, she was relieved, and said with some worry: "That person is in charge of a city, what will become of him in the future?" The original sheep didn't let us milk it, and it jumped as soon as we milked it, but now it is also done, and people are the same as sheep, and they will change. You see, the leaders who supported you in the first place didn't oppose it a few days ago? ”

Jian Chen smiled: "It's great that you can think so, but the leader of that city is different from these leaders. The people he is in charge of are selected by the various tribes, and the goods exchanged are sent by us, and he has nothing after leaving this city. But the chiefs of the tribes are different, they have left the cities, they still have their people by blood, and they have land and slaves, what is there? At that time, that person is like a windmill on the top of a mountain, seemingly towering higher than the top of the mountain, but it can only move with the wind. ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "You will take care of the exchange first, and then change it to someone we can trust." You think, since the person in charge of the exchange can enter the council, then in the future he will be in charge of raising cattle, and in charge of farming, and in building houses, and perhaps the sun, moon and stars, like the number nine...... Can these people also gradually enter the council? When these people enter the council step by step, how much more can those leaders manage? ”

Yu Qian'er seemed to understand, and whispered, "You mean...... In the future, the council may not need leaders, but only those who are in charge of their own affairs? ”

"Yes, no. Although the leader is still there, he can only manage the distribution within the clan, and they don't have to take care of anything else, they are all old and tired. ”

"They won't be happy."

"So quickly, before they come to their senses and start to be unhappy, at least add two people to the council, and one of the wild people who had been beheaded a lot in the last battle, and let them come to the city, counting the two tribes who supported me, and even if they give up all differences, they will be a minority in the council. If they do not obey the decision of the council, they can be expelled from the city, and even if they have to fight, I have soldiers, and you can eat and drink salt and goods, who can fight them? Besides, will their people agree? ”

Yu Qian'er seemed to understand, and after a long time, she hummed, took Jian Chen's hand and said, "Brother, when you say that, I feel a little scared, what if...... What if I don't do it well this time? ”

"Then do it next time. Go ahead. ”

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart that I just want to see if you are fierce or not, and see if the leader of the council is more important in your heart, so I won't do it badly.

He walked out happily, spreading his hands and palms to the sky, like a scale, tilting his body from side to side, imagining that he was on the left and the head of the council on the right.

Originally, he just swayed from side to side, but when he was about to go out, he tilted his body to the left, almost hit the door frame, giggled twice, stretched out his arms, and ran towards the pier like a goose spreading its wings.
