System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 59
Swish!
Black Dolphin and the samurai drew their swords and stared at the two waves of people warily. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Many fish squatted down, touched some crystals on the inner wall of the pottery with the tip of their index finger, put it between their noses and smelled it, but there was no smell at all.

"What is this?" Many fish turned to ask the Qin man.

The man covered his chest, his face turned pale, and his head was covered with sweat. He struggled to squeeze out one word from his throat: "Salt."

The expressions of Kurobuta and the samurai were relieved. Although salt is expensive, it is still easy to obtain for nobles.

Many fish licked their fingertips, bah bah bah!
What kind of salt is this?Why does it taste so bitter?
Seeing that many fish were so disgusted, the man was indignant and dissatisfied: "My lord, the road to Shu is difficult. It is not easy for us merchants to travel on the trade road. We have been going back and forth for half a year, and we encountered war..."

The man was pulled by his companion beside him, and then he came to his senses. He was so frightened that he only looked at the debris on the ground with distressed eyes.

Many fish stood up and saluted the man: "It's my fault. I'll give you a pot of salt as a reward, okay? It's authentic salt."

The man's companion flushed with excitement and kept tugging on the man's sleeves, signaling the man to quickly agree.

The man's expression softened, but he waved his hands repeatedly: "Noble sir, this is just bitter salt, and the price is far less than that of malt salt."

Considering that the noble man might not be familiar with the salt industry, the man also specially explained: "The sweet rock salt paid tribute by Rong Di is called sweet salt, which is the most expensive. The salt boiled from the sea is called loose salt, and the price is second." Hedong Salt Pond Naturally weathered salt with a slightly bitter taste is called bitter salt and is the cheapest.”

The male companion lamented, this guy is too upright!
In order to dig wells to make salt, many fish had learned about the salt industry and knew that what the man said was true.

Many fishes said with smiles on their faces: "Excuse me, sir, what is your surname?"

The man bent down and bowed: "I am not a talented man, Meng Huo, I have seen the female king before."

Many fish signaled Heidou to give the man a wooden token: "I have always kept my word. Since I said I would compensate, I must keep it true. With this token, you can go to the county governor's house to find me."

The man and his companions thanked each other.

Just as many fish and others were about to leave, they were blocked by the Ba people and others.

Many fish are in trouble. Although this woman is wearing knee-length linen clothes and a sheepskin jacket, the exquisite silver jewelry on her neck and wrists all indicate that this woman has a high status in the tribe.

The beautiful woman pointed at the clay pot and screamed wildly. Seeing that many fish didn't understand, they jumped even more anxiously.

Meng Huo kindly told Duoyu: "This woman calls herself an Erma. The tribe is relatively wealthy and she comes to the city every ten days to buy supplies."

Meng Huo glanced at the anxious-looking Ba woman, moved closer to a lot of fish, and said softly: "My lady, don't be fooled by her. This woman is extremely cunning. Last time she traded a cub for a clay jar of salt from me. The young beast was extremely powerful, and with the mother beast chasing after it, our caravan was almost wiped out."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Meng Huo gritted his teeth with hatred, but this woman still acted as if they had suffered a great loss.

"Thank you, sir." Many fish guessed that this woman meant that she wanted to compensate her with a can of salt?Or buy?
Many Fish sent people to the Sheriff's House to ask a local to come over.

It was an official of Li Bing who came. After communicating with the woman for a while, he finally figured out the whole story.

"Nujun, this woman is Yaduo from the west of Jianjian. She wants to make a deal with Nujun."

Many fish have no prejudice against Ba people, but the salt they bring is limited: "How does she want to trade?"

After the subordinate officer relayed the story to Yaduo, Yaduo's eyes lit up instantly, and her eyes looked hotter when she looked at the many fishes than when she looked at her lover.

Subordinate officer: "Yado wants to exchange a cub or an animal skin with the female monarch for a jar of salt."

The official pointed to the pottery fragments on the ground and said, "This size is sufficient."

"Good!" Many fishes readily agreed and agreed to continue trading here at noon tomorrow.

In order to show her sincerity, Yaduo was willing to bring the cubs and furs at the same time and let many fish choose.

After high-fiving three times and making an oath, Yaduo and his tribe disappeared into the woods outside the city.

Meng Huo: "The Ba people are very wary of the Qin people. The tribes in the mountains and forests basically do not spend the night in the city."

Many fish asked with interest: "Mr. Meng Lang, do you often trade with the Ba people?" Meng Huo nodded: "After my father was kicked out of the tribe, he met my mother. From then on, he started doing business. "

"The conflict between the Ba people and the Qin people is so deep that there are no Ba people living in the city?"

Meng Huo pointed to several stone buildings except the governor's house: "Powerful tribal leaders will buy properties in the city, but they will not live there permanently."

Many Fishes: "In Meng Langjun's eyes, which tribe is the friendliest?"

"They are all a group of barbarians, and they are not easy to get along with. If you want to go to the mountains, you should bring more soldiers with you. It is best not to go. There is a lot of miasma in the mountains, and it is easy to get lost."

From the first time Meng Huo saw many fish, he knew that this girl was also a restless girl.

"Thank you Meng Langjun. My promise will always be valid." Many fish raised their heads to take a look at the sky and decided to go back to the governor's mansion first.

On the second day, when Duoyu led his people to the agreed place, Yaduo was already waiting there.

As soon as he saw many fish, Yaduo rushed over, took the hands of many fish and ran towards a pile of goods.

Many fish wink, putting the black dolphin on alert. If something goes wrong, it will be the first to strike.

The subordinate officer followed closely behind him, panting.

Yaduo opened the bamboo mat covering the goods, and a pile of furs of various colors appeared in front of everyone.

Yaduo first raised a finger, then pointed at the fur: "One, change."

Many fish understood that Yaduo wanted to exchange a piece of fur for salt.

Many fish wanted to touch their fur, but Yaduo stopped them.

Yaduo looked at the many fish and others warily: "Salt."

Black Dolphin walked forward holding a clay pot of salt and opened the lid so that Yaduo could see clearly.

Yaduo saw that the salt in the clay pot was whiter and more delicate than before, and he doubtfully told the official that he wanted to taste it.

After hearing what the subordinate officer said, many fish nodded.

Yaduo carefully dipped her fingers into a little salt and put it in her mouth.

This smell... Yaduo's two eyebrows were almost twisted into caterpillars.

Many Fish told his subordinates: "Tell her that this salt is more expensive than the salt she bought before, and it tastes slightly sweeter."

After listening to the officer's report, Yaduo returned to the Ba crowd and had a chattering discussion.

Finally, Yaduo agreed to make this deal.

Many fish came forward to look at the skins, most of which were sheepskins and cowhide, of average value.

Although many fish have the intention of making good friends with the Ba people, they should not let them think that they are easy to fool during the first transaction.

So many fish shook their heads, indicating that they wanted to exchange another trading item.

Yaduo bit her lip and reluctantly brought many fish to a large wooden cage.

Yaduo untied the rope, and all the bamboo mats surrounding the wooden cage fell down, revealing the panicked cub inside.

!!!

Many fish stared at the young, dumbfounded.You guys from Jianxi are really good at playing!
