Therefore, everyone would rather work harder and stay here for a few more days until the end of the trade fair, and then take the untraded dried meat to the salt stall of the Sun Tribe to exchange.

Now the tree was scared, and for the sake of safety, he didn't care about the price difference.

"Don't be afraid." Qiao Yu smiled. "Have you forgotten? The people of the Stone Tribe are going to escort us back."

The reason why she agreed to Shuo's request to go to the Valley Tribe was, firstly, to lure him into a trap; secondly, it was also for safety.

The Valley Tribe would undoubtedly be targeted by the refugees if they produced their pottery. If the Stone Tribe returned with them, their safety would be resolved.

When Shu heard this, he couldn't help but admire Qiao Yu: "Did you think of this when you agreed to them?"

"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded.

Next, the pottery of the valley tribe was quickly traded.

The Sun Tribe was a large tribe, with rich and poor people. The people of the Sun Tribe understood the benefits of pottery better than those of other tribes.

The Valley Tribe now had cheaper pottery bowls, which, though a little ugly, didn't affect their usability. They could exchange them for nearly half the price of Sun Tribe pottery—using salt—which was a very cost-effective deal for them.

The market for yams was also very good. Not only did people from other tribes and Ming and his group, but even the people from the Liuren tribe exchanged two baskets for them and took them back. The wicker baskets were also sold out.

Because of the large flow of people, exchanging dried meat and animal skins for potatoes and pottery was slightly cheaper than usual, so the market for dried meat and animal skins in the valley tribe was also very good, and they were almost sold out before the last day.

However, Qiao Yu still kept a basket of dried meat and did not exchange it - she was waiting for news from Guang.

He had been running around constantly these past few days. Besides exchanging medicines, he also used the medical knowledge he'd learned from the witch to exchange his experience and knowledge with others. He was also trying to get close to people and get information on hemp for Qiao Yu.

That day, he came back, pulled Qiao Yu aside, and whispered, "Yu, they don't dare to exchange the hemp saplings for the dried meat. But they have made a request."

"What's the request?" Qiao Yu asked.

"They wanted to trade hemp seedlings for yam seedlings," Guang said. "I told them we didn't bring any, and they said we could exchange them at the spring trade fair."

Qiao Yu frowned.

She was naturally willing to trade yams for hemp. While yams might seem like a good fresh food to others, they were far inferior to hemp in her eyes.

Although primitive people wore animal skins, it was acceptable in spring, autumn, and winter. However, in summer, wearing animal skins was truly unbearable. The heat was not the only issue. Because the skins were processed so roughly, they emitted an unpleasant odor in the summer heat. Furthermore, primitive people didn't like to bathe, so you can imagine the smell.

Men were fine, as they would just wrap a piece of animal skin around their lower body parts in the summer, but women were not so lucky. Some unpretentious women would just bare their breasts to stay cool.

To make Xia Tian's life easier and to avoid being irritated by others, Qiao Yu was determined to get the linen. It would be fine if she didn't have the chance, but the opportunity was right in front of her, and she couldn't give it up.

The Spring Fair was at the end of spring. She had never grown hemp before and didn't know when it was in season. But what if it was a plant planted in spring? If she switched back, wouldn't it fail to survive?

Although the fruit of the hairy sweet potato is actually a seed, if you bury it in the ground when the weather warms up in the spring, it will sprout vines, and you'll have a harvest of hairy sweet potatoes in the fall. Qiao Yu could have told the people of the Sun Tribe this method in exchange for hemp seeds. However, firstly, this method wouldn't be trustworthy; secondly, she wasn't willing to teach the people of the Sun Tribe about "planting."

That's right, although these large tribes have plants such as hemp, ginger, and soybeans, she learned indirectly when exchanging things that these things were collected from the wild by the other party, not planted.

They don't have the awareness of planting yet.

If she reminds the people of the Sun Tribe to develop the awareness of planting, then other tribes will have no living space.

She would rather not change the hemp than pass on this idea to these big tribes.

"Okay, I get it. I'll find a way to dig up the yam seedlings and the yam together and give them to them," Qiao Yu said. "But I'd like to get more, at least ten plants. One won't do."

What if the hemp doesn’t survive? She has to make sure that she can still grow it even if there are losses.

"Okay, I guess they also want to change more." Guang said.

The two returned to the stall, and Qiao Yu explained the situation to Shu. He said, "I'll go look for yam in the wild and see if there are any around here. Hemp is very important to our tribe. If we miss this opportunity, we don't know if we can get it next time. Besides, yam is an autumn fruit. If you dig it up after spring, they won't recognize it unless you bring the rhizome with you."

"No." Shu said seriously, "Even if hemp is important, it's not as important as your safety. Not to mention Shan and me, even the tribe can't do without you. Don't forget that Shuo and the Liuren tribe are watching us. It's too dangerous for you to go out alone."

"I'm just an inconspicuous young man in our tribe. Even if I disappear for a day or two, no one will notice me. Don't worry. You know my abilities. I dare to go up the mountain and hunt tigers alone. Why would I be afraid of them?"

Shu refused to agree and tried to persuade Qiao Yu for a long time.

Unfortunately, Qiao Yu's ideas were more correct than anyone else's. She was also the leader, and she used her authority to make Shu obey her orders. Shu had no choice - the key point was that he was not as strong as Qiao Yu, so even if he wanted to stop her with force, he couldn't.

"Then Man and I will go with you." Shu made a final request.

"No. I can only act alone. Bringing you along will make me stand out." Qiao Yu said, "Don't worry, I'll put a feather on my head so that others won't dare bully me."

"Where did you get the feathers?" asked the tree.

"You'll know in a moment."

The tree had no choice but to remind him again and again: "You must be careful and come back before dark."

Qiao Yu agreed readily.

The tree called out, and the two of them told the people in the tribe that they wanted to go for a walk again. The three of them headed towards the Sun Tribe together.

After walking for a while, Qiao Yu pulled the tree and said, "Lower your head."

Shu lowered his head and saw a feather appear in Qiao Yu's palm.

Tree:"……"

Full:"……"

I didn't expect you to be such a Yu!

This feather was obviously thrown by Qiao Yu on someone else's head just now.

"Okay, you guys continue shopping, I'm leaving." Qiao Yu said, and walked out through the gap between the stalls. After a while, his figure disappeared from Shu Heman's sight.
