Chapter 1415 1415. Door-to-Door Business (45)
More than 20 white-tailed deer were caught, and the hunting team laughed and laughed.
In the eyes of these Indians, Aao has a higher status, and its status as a holy wolf is completely confirmed.
Hakatu Liema even came here to apologize to Li Du and Ah Ao on purpose.
Although this guy was reckless, his heart was more straightforward than that of Sadislam. Li Du had no affection for him at all. When he was hunting, he tried to talk to him several times, but he avoided him.
The dead white-tailed deer were skinned and bled on the spot. As long as the living white-tailed deer could walk, they were tied up and dragged by the Indians. Some white-tailed deer broke their legs and were disabled. Someone tied them up and carried them on the shoulders. Now, the hunting party can return.
There are more than 20 white-tailed deer, but compared to the population of more than 1,400, it is too small.
On the way back, Li Du asked the chief, "How are your usual hunting results?"
The chief said: "This is almost our harvest for a week. Of course, we are a team here. If all the teams are combined, we can catch more than ten deer every day."
Because the bobcats and wolves in the Appalachian Mountains were hunted hard, the number of deer, goats and wild boars in the mountains was much higher than before, and the Indians had a good harvest.
This good is relative, they can maintain the basic meat needs, it is very difficult to get more meat for enjoyment, a big party like last night, they can't do it once in a few months.
If there is Ao looking for prey, hunting will naturally become much easier.
The chief kept staring at Ah Ao on the road, and Li Du felt that there were flames burning in his eyes.
This made him wary.
After returning to the tribe, the other hunting teams have not yet returned. The women came up to take over the work of cleaning up the deer herd, so that the hunters could rest.
In Li Du's eyes, Americans like to enjoy themselves and are relatively lazy, while Indians like to enjoy themselves and are even more lazy than Americans outside.
It was just noon when they came back, and the hunters stopped working. They took their wine jugs to rest in the shade of the trees, or drank, or played cards for money.
Indians gamble a lot, and many tribes have casinos. In some states of the United States, Indian casinos do not need to pay taxes, and the money they earn can be used to support their tribes.
The chief came to look for Li Du with some fruits from the mountains. He brought two followers who carried two boxes in their hands, and they put down the four boxes after they came in.
Sitting opposite Li Du, the chief invited him to eat some fruit, then waved, and the followers opened the box.
There are four kinds of items in four boxes. One box contains golden gold, one box contains silver nuggets, one box contains glass bottles, and the other box contains dried precious plants such as ginseng.
After eating the pears, Li Du asked, "Chief, what is your purpose for bringing these things here?"
The chief said: "Trade, I want to make a deal with you."
Li Du asked: "How to trade? These things are really valuable, do you want to sell them to me?"
The chief didn't answer. He looked at Ah Ao who was dozing off next to him, and then asked, "Holy Wolf is really a masterpiece of God, isn't it?"
Li Du immediately became vigilant, stared at him and said, "You want to exchange them for my pets?"
The chief still did not answer, but said: "We still have some golden treasures. If you are willing to trade with us, we can give you many surprises."
Li Du pushed the fruit bowl impatiently, and said, "My pet is my family, and I can't trade it away."
Brother Wolf and the others who wandered around the house selected a few locations. If the tribe had any evil intentions, they could hold the chief hostage immediately.
The chief shook his head regretfully and said: "Well, I have thought about it a long time ago, of course you will not use the holy wolf as a bargaining chip, if I own the holy wolf, no matter how much money you give me, I will not use it as a bargaining chip .”
Li Du smiled and said, "Thank you for understanding."
The chief said: "Okay, then let's talk about business. Instead of trading holy wolves, use these things to sell money. Are you willing to accept them?"
Li Du went over to look at four things, and he recognized three of them, but he didn't know what was in the small glass bottle, so he asked, "What's in it?"
The chief replied: "The treasure of our tribe, the serum of vipers and their venom."
The space-time flying insect turned back time, and Li Du saw the process of collecting the liquid in the vial. There are some poisonous snakes in the tribe, and there are special people to collect the venom every once in a while.
Li Du asked: "How many of these things can you provide? If the quantity is small, I'm not very interested..."
"What you see is only one in a thousand." The chief interrupted him and said proudly.
Li Du was surprised: "So many?"
The gold here is at least ten kilograms, if it is only one thousandth, that means their tribe has at least one ton or even more gold.
The chief said: "Don't underestimate us. Our tribe has a history of thousands of years. We have been collecting and collecting treasures for thousands of years. In addition to them, we also have various furs, deer horns, handicrafts and so on."
Looking at Li Du, he continued: "You must be very curious, why our tribe has so many things, but they didn't sell them before, but kept them until now, right?"
Li Du nodded.
The chief said helplessly: "Because our tribe has rules, we can't trade with whites and blacks. In this mountain, apart from whites and blacks, of course we can meet compatriots. But they can't give good prices, and the former chiefs and elders Not willing to sell them, what a bunch of fools!"
"I am different from the people in the clan. My father was the previous chief. He sent me to school. I know what the outside world is like, so since I became the chief, I have always wanted to integrate into the outside world! "
Li Du understood, and he said, "No wonder you were so friendly to me when we first met, and you wanted to cooperate with me then?"
"Yes, you have the intention. You are a rich man." The chief pointed to his clothes and backpack. These are all famous brands. He is a man of knowledge.
The chief said: "I was very happy when I saw you. You are not white or black, you are rich, so in my opinion you can be a partner."
"However, I didn't expect that your partner is so high-quality, and you are the master of the holy wolf. This is even better, and I can persuade the elders more easily. There is no way, managing the wealth of the tribe is not my right , These things are managed by the whole family.”
Li Du didn't expect to come to the Indian tribe and negotiate a business, and the business seemed not small.
He studied the items in the box, and after turning back time to prove their identities, he nodded and said: "Yes, I am willing to cooperate with you, let's talk about how to cooperate."
