Li Du was annoyed by the Native Americans. Most of them did not receive much education and their personal qualities were worrisome.
He had only been in Horseshoe Town for half an hour and had only met two groups of Native Americans. Both groups did not leave a good impression on him.
If not for Blacktooth Robbie's introduction, Li Du would have believed Fawkes' words and would not have crossed paths with the Native Americans again.
Hans had a good temper when doing business. As long as he could extract some profit from the other party, he was fine.
Faced with the Native American boss's mockery, he laughed and asked, "You really have a sharp eye. We are all rookies, how could you tell?"
The Native American boss said lazily, "Don't blame me for speaking harshly, lads. I am teaching you guys a lesson. Only rookies would bargain like you guys. Let me tell you guys how to do business here. "
He paused and pointed at the old goods in the room with one hand and the pickup truck with the other. "There is no absolute value in the old goods market. This is an equivalent exchange. If you think something is useful to you, then you have to exchange it with something that the other party is interested in."
Hans said with a faint smile, "You are right. However, the items traded are not one-to-one, right?"
The Native American boss laughed again and said, "Alright, although you guys are rookies, you are smart rookies. I want your toaster. You guys can choose. "
The previous conflict had happened in front of his shop. He must have heard Fawkes' warning to Li Du. Seeing that Li Du and the others were newcomers, he wanted to rip them off.
After understanding this, Li Du did not hate the Native American boss anymore. They were all businessmen. It was understandable for him to use some tricks for business.
It was a pity that the only thing in his shop that could attract the little bug's interest was a mask. The other items did not have any time energy.
He shook his head and said, "Sorry, buddy. I only have my eyes on the mask here. As for the rest, I don't think we can give you this toaster."
The Native American said, "Don't be in a hurry to make a decision. You guys just came in. Take a good look. There must be something you like. Go find it."
There were a lot of messy items in the room. Li Du was looking for items that could give the little bug time energy. If there was nothing else, then it would be worthless.
The Native American liked their toaster very much. He kept introducing his goods.
Seeing that Li Du kept shaking his head, he patted the table and said, "Alright, then I have to bring out some good stuff."
He pulled out a cardboard box from the bottom of a shelf and opened it to reveal a set of barbecue grills and a shiny silver tray.
"Are you from China? I know you have a unique method of grilling fish, and this is the tool you need, right? " The Native American said, "I bet you guys don't want to miss the red salmon when you come to Horseshoe Town."
"So, buddy from China, this grilling tool is definitely what you need. How about we exchange it for your toaster?"
Li Du scrutinized the grill and asked in surprise, "Why do you have these tools here?"
Indeed, this barbecue rack and tray were suitable for making Sichuan-style grilled fish. Moreover, there was also a shiny silver foil in the box.
The Native American boss smiled and said, "Your compatriots came here to grill fish before. It's a delicacy. When they left, they didn't want to take the grill with them, so I exchanged it with them. I knew that one day, it would meet a suitable owner again."
Hans said, "Alright, this thing is not bad, but it's not valuable enough. As you can see, our toaster is fully automatic."
The Native American boss thought for a while and said, "How about this, I'll give you guys another piece of news."
Li Du said, "What news?"
"News about the people you guys were dealing with just now." The Native American boss smiled slyly. "It will definitely be useful to you guys."
Li Du thought for a few seconds and said, "Grilling fish requires seasonings and many different ingredients. Give me some seasonings and ingredients, and then we have a deal."
The Native American boss pointed at him and said, "You're really a smart guy. You Chinese people really know how to do business. Last time, I was cheated by your compatriots, and this time, you cheated me again."
Li Du said, "No, this time you definitely got the better end of the deal."
The Native American boss said, "Alright, alright, it's a deal. Who asked me to like to eat freshly baked bread?"
He brought the toaster down and passed the mask and grill to Li Du. Finally, he said, "Fox Fox and Devil Face Rooney have a good relationship. He also has a good relationship with Devil Face. Just now, when my compatriots gave you trouble, it must have been him who instructed them."
With this news, Li Du could be sure that he had met an opponent when he had just arrived in town.
Putting the mask into his backpack, the little bug flew in and started to absorb the time energy within it.
Hans said, "So, are we going to go from house to house?"
Li Du looked at the sky and said, "Let's have lunch first, then we'll start working. Let's go, I'll treat you guys to grilled fish."
Hans asked curiously, "Using a tray to grill fish? I've never seen it before. "
Li Du said, "Today, I'll show you. The taste is very good."
They drove north, passing through forests of different heights. The water vapor gradually became thicker. Then, after passing through a birch forest, their field of vision suddenly widened, and a large river appeared in front of them.
This was the Colorado River, which originated from the Rocky Mountains in the north-central part of Colorado, in the western United States. It was formed by the melting of a large area of thick snow, and flowed all the way to the southwest, opening up a waterway that was 2,330 miles long!
The waterway twisted and turned, and finally emptied into the Gulf of California, becoming the main source of fresh water for the gulf.
Because of the terrain, the river formed a bay around Horseshoe Town. Compared to the ferocious flow of the river, the flow of the water here was much calmer.
Many people were fishing by the river, and most of them were tourists. They were fishing for sockeye salmon.
Sockeye salmon was the most valuable species of salmon in the United States, ranking second in terms of production. This fish was widely distributed in the waters of the North Pacific Ocean from northern Japan and Russia to the state of Washington in the United States. However, the production of sockeye salmon in the United States accounted for more than 80 percent of the world's total production.
Similar to other wild salmon, sockeye salmon would migrate to the rivers and streams where they were born to lay their eggs every year. The Colorado River was their main route.
Once the fish left the ocean, they would no longer eat. They completely relied on the fat they had accumulated in the ocean to provide energy to complete their journey.
Because of this, their bodies were rich in fat, ensuring that their fish meat had high nutritional value, was smooth and tasty, and was very popular.
On the return journey, they could not eat, but they could not afford to rest.
The return journey for the sockeye salmon was a process of going against the current. They had to face the turbulent currents of the Colorado River all the way, and it was a very tiring journey. Therefore, when there was a bend in the river, they would rest here.
