survival in the wilderness

Chapter 227 Trading
This study couldn't stop, Lin Yan saw that it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon, not to mention that it was probably going to be dark.

She cleared her throat, "everyone, please be quiet for a moment and listen to me, okay?"

The second head of Ming looked around, and immediately said: "Don't talk, everyone, listen to Lin Yan."

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Ming Dahe stared at the two heads and said, he was excited about studying, he looked at Lin Yan and said, "Speak."

"We will learn how to use it tomorrow, and we will have plenty of time in the future. We came from Sun City with full sincerity, and wanted to exchange flour, oil, salt, cloth, and other utensils for green stones. As long as you can dig out green stones, how many of us Both. The main reason for calling everyone here today is to hear your thoughts, are you willing to exchange?"

An old woman immediately asked, "How do you want to exchange?"

Lin Yan glanced at Ertou, "Everything we bring has a price. In Sun City, all items are clearly marked with money as a measure. Let Ertou tell you about the role of currency, and then we will give you Greenstone sets a price."

The second head immediately tried to tell them about Sun City's currency.Compared with practical things, currency seems inconspicuous, but its role is huge.

When he first came into contact with it, he was greatly shocked.It took a lot of effort to understand more clearly and comprehensively, and I feel that money is really a good thing from the bottom of my heart.

The next day, people in Mingwan Village knew that the green stone was valuable, and they went to dig the stone one after another.

Just pulling goods takes up a lot of space, and there is no room for people.

Overnight, delicious noodles spread throughout the village.Those who have eaten it will have endless aftertaste, and those who have not tasted it will look forward to it.

After a while, all the noodle soup in the kitchen was divided up, and a group of people just felt that they had tasted it and then it was gone.

The boat did not stop day and night, and returned to Sun City in ten days.This trip took 32 days, much smoother than expected.

At this time, the noodles were prepared in the kitchen of the Ming family. There were more than 20 people present, and each of them could only taste a few bites.

"Who says it's not? Before there was no wheat, our life was very difficult, just like Mingwan Village now."

Sure enough, as Lin Yan wished, a bowl of noodles conquered everyone.

The simplest oil-splashed noodles, the domineering fragrance wafts out, so that people who have never eaten it can't bear it.

After everything was negotiated, it was getting late, and when the others left, Lin Yan and Lan Xing stayed behind to thank Ming Ertou's family. They had enough flour and had a delicious meal.

The waterway to Mingwan Village has been found, Lin Yan's task is completed, she went to report to Ah Lan.

"Of course. In Sun City, as long as you have money, you can buy anything you want."

Looking at Ah Lan carefully, Lin Yan seemed to be fine, and Lin Yan was slightly relieved, "Our things are very popular in Mingwan Village, and all the things we brought this trip were replaced with ore. Mingwan Village has a large number of people, no matter how many Things can be consumed, and I think the transactions between the two places can continue.”

"Second, go back."

Ask Ming Ertou to help collect the ore. After the ship returns to Sun City, it will come back to collect the goods as soon as possible.

The next pricing negotiation went very smoothly, with copper ore of good quality costing 1 jin for 6 cent and 1 jin for 10 cent of poor quality copper ore.

Following Ertou's words, Lan Xing took out iron coins of various denominations and let everyone take turns to look at them.

Ming Ertou said: "Father, I work in Sun City and earn 2 cents a day. The things I brought back were bought with the money I earned, and they are all real."

In Sun City, not only her, other people who go out also have this habit when they go out.Write down what you saw along the way, and return it to Lin Yan for summary.

It is completely voluntary to sell green stones for something.Since the goods are limited, they are first come, first served, and you have to wait for the next ship to arrive after you finish changing things.

Amid the reluctance of the villagers in Mingwan, the big ship sailed slowly into the distance.

Lan Xing smiled and said: "I think we were like this when the oil-splashed noodles were first made. No matter how long it takes, I will never forget the taste."

People who have never eaten are crowded in the kitchen to grab noodles.

A Lan: "The only thing Mingwan Village can sell is copper mines. We can't replace everything with copper mines."

I just hope that Lin Yan can keep his word and the next boat will come sooner and bring them more things.

The transaction was carried out in an orderly manner for eight days, and the brought things were exchanged for ore, which was more than 3000 catties.

Ming Er looked at the boat going away, and really wanted to follow along.It's a pity that Lin Yan and the others didn't take anyone away, and there was no room for them on the boat.

"Go, I'll take you to see something good."

Lin Yan and Lan Xing led people to guard at Ming Dahe's house. As long as someone brought green stones, Ming Dahe and them would weigh the transaction after appraising it.

"That's the beauty of pasta. In the end, it's the wheat that has changed everything."

"Of course I do, can you teach me?" Erya looked at him suspiciously, she had already discovered that Ertou and Lin Yan were talking in the language of Sun City, but she always felt that what Ertou said was the same as Lin Yan. Others are not the same.

Ertou rushed back to the house with Erya excitedly, and dug out his incomparably treasured enlightenment book.

Taking out several green stones at the scene, Lin Yan explained in detail which ones were of good quality and which ones were of poor quality.The worst kind is not charged.

On the boat, Lin Yan stood at the bow, looked into the distance, and lowered his head from time to time to write and draw in his notebook.

Ming Dahe held a one-yuan iron coin and asked in disbelief: "Can this little thing really be exchanged for a hundred catties of flour?"

Others have long been used to her like this, and Lin Yan has always been like this every time he goes out.I also know that she is recording the terrain and preparing for drawing the map.

The boat was nowhere to be seen, and Erya yelled when she saw that Ertou hadn't left.

Although the boat was big, it really couldn't bear the weight of these ores, so Lin Yan could only leave a part of it at Ming Dahe's house and let them take care of it temporarily.

With the real thing, it is much easier to understand.

Ming Ertou said loudly: "It's oil-splashed noodles. This is my favorite food in Sun City. A big bowl only costs one penny, and it's enough to fill you up."

The ore brought back is all put into the smelter for processing and refining.

As long as the stones are dug, they can be exchanged for good things at Ming Dahe's house.

Ertou came back to his senses, "Erya, do you want to learn the numbers and characters of Sun City?"

They rowed all the way to Mingwan Village, which took time and effort, and they just wanted to bring back good ore.Too bad is completely unnecessary and will only gain weight.

"Aside from copper mines, their manpower is the most valuable. I plan to let Mingwan Village join the alliance within two years."

Alan smiled knowingly, "I knew that you not only value other people's copper mines, but you must have other goals. The population of Mingwan Village is urgently needed by the Alliance. You want them to get to know us first, and gradually get used to it. , in the end it will be a matter of course."

"Yeah, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. Next time, send two boats to Mingwan. In addition to the copper mine, bring a boat back and let them work to earn money, learn various skills, get used to using coins, etc. When they return to Mingwan Village, they will find ways to change it themselves."

The two talked a lot, talking about the restructuring of the alliance. Seeing that Ah Lan was talking more and more energetically, Lin Yan hurriedly stopped and asked her to rest first. Heitu Baiyun Minglan and Fenghua will be called tomorrow to discuss together.
