Chapter 1416 1416. Come on, be happy (55)

The two parties have preliminarily determined the transaction intention, but the details of the cooperation have to be negotiated, and expert pricing is required for negotiation.

The tribal gold is washed and refined through primitive methods, as is the silver. Their purity is not uniform, and the price is not easy to determine.

The price of snake venom and snake serum is also hard to determine. Li Du doesn't know about these things, as well as animal fur, deer antlers and ox horns, various herbs, etc., so it is even more difficult to evaluate their prices.

The ginseng that the chief took out was American ginseng, which is the American ginseng that Li Du knew well when he was in China. These ginsengs were uniform in size, cylindrical and long-spindle in appearance, six to seven centimeters in length, and a little over one centimeter in diameter. It doesn't look big.

This is wild American ginseng. Unlike Chinese ginseng or Korean ginseng, they can grow relatively large. This size is already the limit of wild American ginseng.

The chief is a straightforward person, and Li Du is also a cheerful person. After they decided to cooperate, they first left each other a deposit.

Li Du took out 10,000 U.S. dollars in cash, and the chief gave him some gold nuggets, silver nuggets, snake venom and furs, and asked him to take them back for identification.

Counting the green dollar bills, the chief smiled and said, "I'm not mistaken, you are a rich man, and you carry so much cash with you when you climb mountains."

Li Du said: "We Chinese like to use cash."

He studied American ginseng, cut a piece with a dagger and chewed it in his mouth. The taste was somewhat contradictory, a slightly bitter and sweet taste. After chewing for a while, he spit out the residue, and his mouth was full of the fresh fragrance of the plant.

The quality of this ginseng is so good that a layman like Li Du can tell it.

In this regard, the Indians are quite similar to the Chinese who are also of the yellow race. Their pharmacology is also based on herbs. At first, American ginseng was of little value in North America, so the Indians liked to collect them.

Because the guidance of the holy wolf has made great gains, the tribe is going to hold a grand dinner again.

As long as they get enough food, they will enjoy it. Indians have no long-term vision. It is not that they are short-sighted, but this is their attitude towards life.

These people think that life is impermanent, and it is uncertain when they will leave this world, so take the time to enjoy and make yourself happy and happy. The slogan of life is: come and be happy.

The existence value of food is to sustain life. As long as there is enough food, a dinner party is held, not for food, but for entertainment.

Later, other hunting teams came back. Most of them had harvests, most of them were wild boars or wild birds, and some of them had some fish.

The fish they caught were very small, and there were no big fish in the rivers and lakes on the mountain. Li Du didn't know the identity of these fish, but he guessed that they lived in the unpolluted mountains, and the quality of their meat was definitely not bad.

After bringing these fish back, someone began to wash them meticulously, washing them with clear stream water over and over again.

Seeing this, Li Du praised: "Exquisite!"

The chief who accompanied him laughed and said, "Haha, it's not for cleanliness, or it can be said for cleanliness, because we use poisonous weeds for fishing, so we have to clean them carefully to prevent venom from remaining."

After hearing this, Li Du decided not to eat this kind of fish later, since he didn't like fish very much anyway.

The magic of Ah Ao was spread among the tribes, and the Indians worshiped Ah Ao, and by the way, they also worshiped Li Du.

Unlike the dinner held yesterday, when Li Du wandered around the tribe this time, more people greeted him, and some respectfully brought him a bowl of turbid wine.

The alcohol content of this kind of wine is relatively low. It is a kind of beer brewed from cassava. People in the tribe call it Jikai wine.

Chicha wine is an important part of the Tawixi tribe's food culture and a lubricant for their social activities.

The place where Li Du received the wine was the tribe's wine shop, and someone was making Ji Kai wine.

It is mainly women who work in the winery, and the wine-making process is controlled by an old man. In fact, brewing Jikai wine is very simple. It is made from cassava. The women peel the cassava with a machete, and then wash the cassava in the river. , then put it in a pot for steaming, and finally put it in a mortar to grind for fermentation.

As the evening approached, another hunting team came back. They brought back some bird eggs and a pack of things. After opening them, the children surrounded them cheered, "Oh! Moontish! Moontish!"

Li Du went up to take a look, and then his face changed a bit: the things in the bag were bugs, a bit like silkworms, larvae of some kind of insects, snow-white in color, and wriggling together looked disgusting.

The chief patted him on the shoulder and said, "Great, you can taste our Tavisi food."

Li Du smiled and said, "Is this kind of bug?"

"This is Muentish. It tastes very good. It's not easy to find them." The chief said happily, "You will know when the time comes."

As night fell, bonfires were lit, some young people beat gongs and drums, and the lively party began.

As before, more than a thousand people appeared on the mountainside. Because of the terrain, the meeting place was long and surrounded by the mountainside.

Such bonfires are lined up, looking from a distance, it looks like a fire dragon.

With the sound of gongs and drums, the girls jumped up around the bonfire, men and women began to sing, and the smiles on their faces were full of satisfaction.

The Marklove brothers also participated in it, and they were very happy to get into the crowd of women to cuddle and play, but Brother Wolf and Firecracker remained vigilant.

Li Du said: "It's okay, they won't deal with us, just relax and play."

Brother Wolf shook his head and said, "No, Boss, I can't trust them, you go and play."

A pottery pot was hung on a bonfire. As the flame burned, the pot gradually heated up and turned red.

At this time, someone brushed grease on it, and then quickly threw some big fat bugs on it.

Almost at the same time, after the big worm was thrown up, the stoneware pot was taken down, someone shook it a few times and poured it into a plate for Li Du, the chief and others.

Looking at the fried worms on the plate, Li Du felt that his appetite was so-so, and said politely: "Eat what you eat, I'll drink some wine first."

The chief was not polite, and grabbed the worms with his hands and ate them. The people around swallowed their saliva, as if he was eating something delicious.

A woman brought up the staple food, which was called Maito, and the ingredients included fish, chicken, brown rice, rosemary, onions, etc., and it was covered with a layer of mashed potatoes. Li Du thought it was good.

He took a Maito, chewed it after biting it, and felt that it was even more delicious today, so he nodded to the chief and said, "It tastes great."

The chief frowned and said with a smile: "Because there is Muentish in it, the smell is so fragrant."

Li Du tore open the mashed potatoes and saw that there were a few fat worms inside!

Some of the bugs were bitten in half, one half stayed in McTory, and the other half went into his stomach, needless to say.

Li Du felt a little disgusted, but this thing tasted really good, so he stopped looking at it, and continued to eat happily, and decided to try Muentish.
