Chapter 326: Exchange of Salt and Tea
Gu Fu couldn't help but said to Song Renjing: "Brother Jing, do you know?
In a faraway place, there is a country with dozens of ethnic groups. They do not distinguish between countries and tribes. They are all one family, brothers and sisters. "
Song Renjing looked at the little girl in front of him. Sometimes she always gave him a sense of maturity beyond her age; sometimes she was naive, romantic, and innocent. Sometimes it seemed that although she was here, her heart was far away, like at this moment.
It seemed as if there were thousands of faces, making him want to explore more.
"Does Fu'er also want such a world?" Song Renjing asked, "If Fu'er wants it, then Brother Jing will work hard to build such a world for Fu'er in the future, okay?"
Gu Fu just looked at Song Renjing, smiled sweetly, and didn't say anything.
After all, the world today is no longer the same as before. Every world has its own destiny, and she doesn't want to interfere too much.
She also didn't want Brother Jing to start a war against other countries in order to achieve his goals because of her affirmation.
But if the day really comes when a merger is needed, she will work with him.
The two smiled at each other in the glow of the morning sun.
An old lady in the Muzhen tribe has been looking at the two beautiful children with a bright smile on her face for a long time.
At this time, he greeted them warmly, "Children, children, don't cook anymore, come to my house to eat. We have cooked milk porridge and barbecue. If you don't mind, you can come and have some."
"Thank you, grandma. We're sorry to bother you!" Gu Fu walked forward and said with a smile.
The old lady looked at Gu Fu who was smiling sweetly and started to laugh too. "Don't disturb me, don't disturb me, come quickly! Come quickly!"
Gu Fu responded and told Zhi Bao, "Go to our tent, bring a basket of fruit, a few pounds of rice, and a gift for grandma. Thank her for hosting us."
"Yes, Miss!" Zhibao replied and went to prepare gifts.
Gu Fu and the other two went to the old lady's tent first and had breakfast with her family.
After the meal, the old lady saw the gifts sent by Gu Fu and his friends and was shocked but refused them repeatedly, saying, "Your gifts are too expensive. We cannot accept them."
"Yes, we can't accept it." The old lady's family also made excuses.
"You kids are out here on your own, so you should be more frugal. We really can't take these. Take them back quickly."
After another round of excuses, Gu Fu naturally would not take it back.
The old lady and her family couldn't refuse, so they had to accept it.
When they said goodbye, the old lady and her family stuffed them with a bag full of milk bricks and the skins they had saved from hunting. They only stuffed a few people's arms full, and when they couldn't hold any more, they stopped.
After they left the old lady's tent with their belongings and returned to their own campsite, they looked at each other and laughed.
"This old lady from the Muzhen tribe is really warm and enthusiastic." Song Renjing said.
"Yes, the people of the grassland are really simple and generous." Gu Xiang said, "But the gift my sister gave is also a rare thing among them.
"The things we give them are more precious in their eyes, and the things they give us are more common in their eyes. But to us, they are rare and precious. They should sell well in our shopping mall." said Gu Fu.
"Sister, how do you want to eat this?" Gu Xiang asked.
"This can be eaten directly, or you can add tea and make it into milk tea, dessert... There are many ways to eat it," Gu Fu explained.
"This stuff is so good, we must take some back when we leave." Gu Xiang said.
"Of course, we have so many goods with us, we can also make some exchanges with them." Gu Fu said affirmatively.
"Okay, when I see Mu Zhen Tianhao today, I will talk to him about it." Gu Xiang said.
Song Renjing didn't say anything, but just supported silently.
A few people handed the things to the secret guards and the intelligent butler and asked them to pack them up.
Before they could go looking for him, Mu Zhen Tianhao had already come with his followers to look for them.
As soon as they met, he said, "I am so sorry. I slept late yesterday and got up late today. I came to see you at this time. Please forgive me."
"Haha, it's okay. I reminded you yesterday that this is your first time drinking milk tea and you shouldn't drink too much. Now you know how serious it is." Gu Xiang joked.
"Haha, now I know how powerful it is. Have you had your meal?" Mu Zhen Tianhao asked with concern.
"We have eaten. The meal that the old lady from your tribe treated us to was delicious." Gu Xiang said.
“Haha, we grassland people are very hospitable!
Before these foreigners came, whenever you walked on the grassland and saw our tents, you would be warmly entertained by someone, with hot milk porridge and delicious barbecue. "Muzhen Tianhao said happily and proudly.
"Yes, we have witnessed the warm hospitality of the grassland. But you, why did you come here to eat so early in the morning?" Gu Xiang asked Mu Zhen Tianhao with the same concern.
"I have eaten. My mother had someone prepare the food early in the morning." As he said this, Mu Zhen Tianhao thought of his mother, who urged him to come and ask about the salt early in the morning.
Thinking of this, he spoke directly, "Ah Xiang, you put salt in the tea you brewed yesterday."
"Yes, some salt was added." Gu Xiang nodded.
"Do you have a lot of salt? If you have extra, can you give us some?
Originally, we were going to exchange our salt with other large tribes, but there are no large tribes nearby now..." Mu Zhen Tianhao said a little embarrassedly.
After all, my new friend came from a distant grassland. Even if he had salt, it should not be much. Would it be difficult to remain friends if I brought up the issue so directly?
Gu Xiang thought about the goods he brought with him, and there was indeed some salt. And if he didn’t bring enough, he still had his sister to rely on!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiang looked at Gu Fu, and Gu Fu nodded at his brother.
Gu Xiang then said, "We still have some, we can exchange them for you."
"Really? That's great! My father said that if you agree to the exchange, you can exchange the tribe's horses, cattle, sheep, women, furs, and slaves. You can tell me anything you want."
Gu Xiang felt that he didn't need any of these, but they could be exchanged for milk bricks.
So he looked at his sister and Song Renjing and said, "You two decide, what do you want to exchange?"
Song Renjing thought of the little girl's intelligence and said, "Let Sister Fu'er decide."
Gu Fu thought about it and realized that he had no shortage of horses, cattle, and sheep.
Women and servants would never be exchanged.
In the previous life, some people liked milk bricks and some people didn’t, and they could be exchanged for other materials, so there was no need to exchange them for salt.
