    Hearing that Lu Wan agreed to the deal, everyone in Moli's department cheered and started bargaining with Liu Kata with the goods on their heads. Although there were other interpreters on the ship, only Liu Kata could understand the other party's language, so  I can only trouble him to communicate with the other party.

    The Moli tribe has not yet entered the stage of private ownership. The tribe's property is public, which reduces the trouble in transactions. Liu Kata only needs to set a transaction price for Lumodoro and stipulate food, fur and other goods and porcelain.  According to the exchange ratio, the next step is to count the other party's goods, and then give them porcelain or silk according to Moli's request.

    While the goods were being exchanged, many unsuspecting crew members gathered around and looked around at the Moli clan members with thief eyes, especially the women with many ornaments on their bodies, who were the focus of their observation.

    This is not because the crew members are lustful, but they are here to try their luck. According to past experience, some natives may not even have enough to eat, but they often have some very valuable things on them, such as various unprocessed gems, gold, etc.  Wait, in the eyes of the natives, these things may just be some beautiful small stones, which are often carried on the body to make jewelry, especially on women. If they can be found, then they can exchange those jewelry with some very cheap things.  Come here, it will be a windfall when the time comes.

    The first person to gain something was Erganzi. This kid was born as a hunter and his eyes were sharper than anyone else. He soon discovered that a Moli girl was wearing a chain on her hand. It looked like it was made of a kind of chain.  It is made up of small yellow stones, but if you look carefully, the small stones have a metallic texture. If you don't have good eyesight, you really can't tell.

    "It's an opportunity you can't miss," Erhanzi saw the chain on the girl's hand.  He immediately pulled Liu Kata, who had just been free, to step forward and stop the opponent.  The girl from the Moli Department was happily stroking the newly acquired silk with the aunt next to her. When she saw Erhanzi blocking her way, she thought he was interested in her, although she thought these people who came in the big boat looked good.  It's strange, not as handsome as the young men in the clan, but if the other party is willing to exchange silk, she doesn't mind going with him. It is precisely because of this that the girl who was stopped even winked at the Erhanzi.  .

    But Erzi saw each other's wink.  But her whole body trembled. This girl from the Moli Department had her upper body exposed. She had a good figure, but unfortunately she was too dark, especially her thick lips.  The occasional exposed yellow teeth made Erhanzi feel cold all over. He even felt that even the ugliest girl Fu Rong in the east end of his hometown village was a hundred times more beautiful than the girl in front of him.

    Although there are many unscrupulous people in the fleet who have sex with native women, Erhanzi has never had a relationship because his hometown has already arranged a marriage for him.  Moreover, the other party was a well-known beauty in the ten miles and eight villages, much better than Furong, not to mention the native girl in front of him, so he turned a blind eye to the girl's charming eyes.  And he hurriedly pulled Liu Kata over, asked the other party to translate for him, and told the girl that he wanted to exchange the bracelet with her.

    With Liu Kata¡¯s explanation, the girl quickly understood what Erhanzi meant.  When she learned that the other party was not attracted to her, but to the chain on her hand.  She was also a little disappointed in her heart. Their tribe, like other tribes, prohibited intermarriage within the tribe, so she would definitely marry outside in the future. Although the young man in front of her looked a bit strange, he could ride such a big boat, so  Their tribe must be very powerful. If she can marry into such a tribe, she won't have to worry about her future life.

    However, although the girl was disappointed, she was still very willing to exchange. After all, the bracelet on her hand was not a valuable thing. Especially when she saw Erhanzi taking out a bracelet made of glass beads from his arms, they were both moved.  With his eyes shining, he quickly took off the chain from his hand and put it into Erhanzi's hand. Then he grabbed the glass bracelet, as if he was afraid that he would regret it, and happily showed it off to the sisters and aunts in the clan.

    The moment Erhan received the bracelet, he immediately felt that it was indeed metal. Then he put a yellow stone-like object on the bracelet into his mouth and bit it, and a clear tooth mark immediately appeared on it.  , and the newly bitten place emits a charming golden light.

    "Gold, it's really gold!" Liu Kata was right next to Erhanzi and could see it most clearly. When he saw the shining golden light, he couldn't help shouting out. At the same time, he also envied Erhanzi in his heart.  Good luck.

    Erhanzi's discovery of gold made other crew members very excited. According to common sense, since the other party made the gold into a bracelet and exchanged it with Erhanzi without caring, this means that the other party may have something in their hands.  There is more gold, and as long as their eyes are bright enough, they can make a fortune like the fool.

    But before the second crew member found the gold jewelry, the people in Moli's department suddenly started to get excited. The reason was because of the string of glass beads that Erhanzi had exchanged. After all, they had longHe was so big and had never seen such exquisite jewelry before. So after hearing that the girl got it from Erhanzi, he immediately stepped forward and surrounded Erhanzi, waving the jewelry in his hand to compete with him.  Two fools exchange.

    But there was something wrong with the girl's statement. She told the tribesmen that Erhanzi only accepted bracelets, so these people took off all their bracelets. Unfortunately, none of them were made of gold. Most of them were made of various small stones, and even  There were also ones made of wood and animal teeth, which made Erhanzi and Liu Kata dumbfounded.

    "Everyone, be quiet. What we want is this yellow stone, not your bracelet. If you have something made of this yellow stone, you can exchange it with us!" Liu Kata spoke loudly in dialect.  He said, and repeated it several times, and finally made the surrounding natives understand what was going on.

    The natives looked at each other and then at the gold bracelet in Erhanzi's hand. Although they didn't understand why these outsiders were interested in this yellow stone, they turned around and ran away very obediently.  , after a while, several natives brought back several gold jewelry, most of which were necklaces, bracelets and the like.  Although these primitive ornaments have great archaeological and artistic value in later generations, in the eyes of uneducated guys like Erhanzi, they only value the value of gold itself.

    However, the natives who had gold jewelry in their hands asked for jewelry made of glass. Erhanzi had prepared a lot when he went to sea. However, he had already consumed almost all of it along the way. The glass bracelet he had just exchanged was already his last.  The same glass products.  However, he does not have other crew members. After all, glass is high quality and cheap, and it is a very precious jewelry in the eyes of the natives, so every crew member will prepare some private goods made of glass to make profits.  So now that they saw that the natives were interested in glass products, many people immediately ran back to the boat to dig through the bottom of the ship and find the glass products at the bottom of the box to exchange for gold.

    The jewelry trade here eventually alarmed the leader Lu Modo and the captain Lu Wan. When Lu Wan saw that the small Moli tribe took out a lot of gold jewelry, his eyes immediately flashed, and Liu Ka  Ta looked at each other, and the other party immediately understood and started chatting with Lumodoro, asking where they got these yellow stones.

    The Moli tribe was still in the Stone Age and had no concept of metals in their minds, let alone precious metals like gold. In their view, these were just heavier yellow stones. Although the color was prettier, they were softer.  Weapons cannot be crafted at all, and can only be used as decorations at most.

    However, Lu Moduo can sit as the leader of the Moli Department, and his mind is naturally much more flexible. After seeing that outsiders like Lu Wan are interested in that kind of yellow stone, and also ask him about the origin of this stone, this  It even made him guess that this kind of useless stone was very important to these outsiders.

    It was precisely with this in mind that Lumodo refused to say anything about Liu Kata¡¯s inquiry at first, and also forbade the tribesmen from talking to Liu Kata anymore. His intention was nothing more than to exchange for some benefits.  This made Lu Wan so angry and funny that in the end he had to ask someone to take out a mirror from his captain's cabin and give it to him. However, upon seeing it, Lu Modo was immediately shocked by the artifact and started talking and singing while holding the mirror.  After waiting for a long time, he accepted it with a look of awe.

    Regarding the location where they found the gold, Lumodo immediately told them that it turned out that the origin of the gold was not on their small island, but on the big island opposite. From the south of the small island where they were, all the way to the big island.  They landed on the island and landed on 6, where the gold was produced, and Lumodo was worried that they could not find the place. He even enthusiastically gave them the first girl who traded with Erhanzi and asked her to be their guide.  Wan them to lead the way.

    With the transaction as the basis, Lu Wan and the others quickly became involved with the Moli Department. At noon, Lu Wan generously invited all the members of the Moli Department to dinner, planning to inquire more about the situation on the big island at the dinner table.  Lumodo was naturally very happy about this. After all, there was free lunch here, and they certainly had no reason to refuse.

    Chinese people have always liked to talk about things at the dinner table. This has a long history. Anyway, this habit has been in existence since the Tang Dynasty.  Although this method is very old, it is indeed very effective. When the plates of unsightly but delicious dishes are served, Lumodoro and his tribe finally reveal their barbaric nature, with two long arms everywhere  Strike out and stuff whatever you grab into your mouth.

    When Lu Wan finally brought a few bottles of wine and let Lumodoro taste it, although he was very uncomfortable with it at first, after a few sips, he gradually realized the benefits of wine, but his drinking capacity was not good.  , after a while, he was already red-faced after drinking, and taking this opportunity, Liu Kata began to ask the other party about the situation on the big island. As a result, the other party naturally told him everything, even he and others  The tribal alliance, grab another one?The personnel affairs of the tribal women have been revealed.

    However, as Lu Moduo explained, Lu Wan and the others' faces slowly darkened, because they suddenly discovered that the big island in front of them was beyond their imagination, and their Slave Catching Association obtained the  The benefits may not be great.  The only thing that gave them some comfort was that they found a gold mine here, but they just didn't know what its reserves were and whether it was worth opening?
