Chapter 448

Li Du and Hans hugged and saluted the old man, and then the two sides got straight to the point and started to discuss business.

The old man was much smarter than the big man. He picked up the shotguns and checked them one by one, and he was able to pick out some minor flaws in each one.

Obviously, the other party wants to bargain.

In this way, Hans's skills came in handy, he went up to start a verbal contest with the old man, various tactics, various disputes, and he showed that he was confident.

They already knew it in their hearts. The big man told them before that one gun can be exchanged for ten ordinary hunting knives.

Therefore, Hans sticks to this bottom line. Although the old man is shrewd, there is nothing he can do.

On the contrary, after the two had a dispute, the bottom line was raised again.

They negotiated in units of one shotgun, and Hans' bottom line was that each shotgun could be exchanged for ten ordinary knives or four sub-knives.

Some shotguns are of better quality, and as a result, there are more hunting knives that can be exchanged, at most fourteen, at worst ten...

This is Hans' job, and Li Du went to see other people's transactions. After all, the Hopi tribe is a large tribe with nearly 20,000 people. They store a lot of weapons and hunting knives.

Inspired by Li Du, the treasure hunters opened the carriages and let the other party choose at will. The hunting knives became currency, and everything can be traded with hunting knives.

The most popular is their smart phones. Most of the Hopi people use old-fashioned mobile phones. This kind of touch-screen mobile phone with colorful colors and various functions gives them a great sense of novelty and attracts them deeply.

The treasure hunters picked out the mobile phone cards and exchanged all the mobile phones for hunting knives.

Seeing this, Li Du had no choice but to call them together, and said: "In this case, we will not be able to contact each other, so everyone must be together, so as not to find someone when we leave later."

Ollie said: "No need, Boss Li, let's set a time, such as four o'clock, and go to the school to gather together at four o'clock, how about it?"

"That won't work, I can't tell the time." Dickens shook his head.

Ollie said, "Where's your watch?"

"Oh," said Dickens, "for a hunting knife."

"Shit!" Ollie quickly took off his watch, "I forgot about this shit!"

The negotiation with Hans was over, and the ten shotguns were exchanged for twenty-five pocket knives and fifty ordinary hunting knives.

Godzilla and Da Ao stuffed these knives into the driver's cab, watching them work, the Chief of Public Security's eyes were full of admiration: "Hey, Zhuang guys, are you interested in staying in our tribe?"

Li Du hurriedly said: "President Lincoln has freed the slaves, and now there are no more slaves. We cannot trade the two of them."

The chief of security said: "I know, haha, I mean invite them to stay, the beauties in the tribe can be chosen by them, they will definitely become great warriors!"

Da Ao shook his head: "Sorry, I already have a wife and children."

The chief of security looked regretful, and looked at Godzilla again.

Godzilla even shook his head like a rattle: Are you kidding me, is there any beauties in your tribe? They all look so ugly! Besides, this is a beauty thing?

After getting these guns, the old man took them to his house as a guest.

Li Du saw that it was getting late, so he said to Hans: "We'd better not go, you see, if we delay any longer, we won't be able to go back today."

Hans said: "If you can't go back, you won't go back. Don't you still want to go fishing in Lake Powell? You can go tomorrow."

Hearing their discussion, the old man laughed: "Yes, our friends, let's stay here tonight. Today, our three major terraces happen to hold Kavalala, let's participate in Kavalala together."

Li Du asked: "What is Kavalala?"

Hans thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a Hopi party. It's quite grand. It's used to entertain friends from afar. It's very interesting."

In this way, Li Du was also willing to stay. He had never seen Kavalala before, so it would be good if he could learn more.

They followed the old man into a spacious thatched hut, which is the home of the chief of public security. It still looks quite dignified. The room is full of weapons: hunting knives, shotguns, bows and arrows, and even a machine gun. Look at it. It will definitely work.

In addition to these firearms, there is a long wooden box in the center of a room, and some wooden knives, swords, guns and other weapons are erected on the surface of the box.

Li Du asked curiously: "What is this? A weapon box? It looks very beautiful, but are these weapons carved on it?"

When Hans saw the box, he patted his forehead suddenly, and moaned, "Shit, my mind is full of shit, how could I forget about it!"

Li Du asked: "What's wrong? Are you mentally ill?"

The old man smiled and said: "Haha, this is not a weapon box, you must not guess what it is."

"This is a coffin, the coffin you prepared for yourself!" Hans sighed.

Li Du was taken aback by these words, this is not a good word!

As a result, the old man smiled and said, "You are very knowledgeable, child. This is indeed the coffin I prepared for myself. I didn't expect you to see it."

Hans said: "I have watched a documentary called "Homeland". The director Yaan Arthurs and his team visited your tribe and introduced your culture, including the coffin culture."

"Homeland" is a documentary film that took 15 years and 18 months to film. It went through 120 shooting locations in 118 regions in 54 countries, which is very shocking.

After listening to his words, the old man showed a look of reminiscence: "Yan-Arthurs-Bertrand, I still remember his name, an interesting Frenchman. Yes, he has been to us and recorded many things about us, Later, they sent us a video of the documentary.”

Hans said to Li Du in a low voice: "I ignored this matter, but I can't blame me. Who can remember the content of a documentary all the time?"

"What did you ignore?" Li Du was confused by him.

"The most distinctive culture of the Hopi people is the coffin culture! We should exchange guns for coffins. The coffins here are very valuable and can be sold for a high price outside!"

Li Du was shocked by what he did: "Can you really think that you want to be in the funeral home business?"

"Going to your funeral parlor is just reselling the coffin. In short, we will play it by ear and see if we have any valuables. Go back and exchange the coffin!"

"Is this stuff worth a lot?"

"A coffin can sell for tens of thousands of yuan!"

Li Du took a deep breath: How about raising the coffin!

This is indeed very valuable. The United States is different from China, and the method of burial is still used. After death, people keep vigil in churches, and then bury them in coffins in cemeteries.

Interestingly, Americans regard cemeteries as wealth, just like houses and cars. After buying a cemetery, they can use it for family members, or buy and sell it. Even like real estate, they have their own cemetery brokers.

Under such circumstances, the coffin business is naturally very prosperous, just like the nature of the furniture business.
