After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...
"Chief Ya, what brings you here?"
Jin Ao's demeanor was as rugged and bold as his appearance, and he even had a little tail following him around.
When Jin Yu saw Lin Xue standing next to the cliff, her eyes widened immediately.
How shameless this woman is, still clinging to her man!
Although Jin Yu was very angry, she didn't say anything and obediently followed behind Jin Ao.
"Chief Jin'ao, let's sit down and talk!"
Ya invited Jin Ao and the other person to sit down, and then dismissed the clansmen.
Jin Ao was very uneasy. What should he do if this guy asked him to marry his daughter?
If he disagrees, the other orcs might laugh at him for being ungrateful.
He felt incredibly awkward if he agreed.
No, he had to find a reason to refuse her marriage proposal; it was better to keep his daughter under his own nose.
If she marries into another place and is bullied, he won't see it!
"Chief Jin'ao, our tribe has exchanged quite a lot of things this time. We wonder if we could ask your tribe for a favor and help us transport them. We are willing to offer three animal skin bags of dried fruit as payment!"
Lin Xue picked up a delicate little bamboo basket from the side, which contained all kinds of dried fruit.
Place the small basket in the middle of the four people and let them help themselves to the food.
"We've tasted your tribe's dried fruit before. I wonder how much stuff you'll be transporting?"
"Our own tribe has also changed many things, so we don't have many orcs that can be mobilized!"
As soon as the dried fruit was laid out, Jin Ao recognized it as something his daughter had brought back.
Jin Yu went out to the market alone to buy dried fruit. On her way back, she was almost kidnapped by a wandering orc.
If Ya hadn't happened to be passing by, Jin Yu might have fallen victim to the kidnappers' cruelty.
"Chief Jin Ao is joking. Who doesn't know that your Golden Eagle Clan is fast? This exchange meeting doesn't end for another two days. At your speed, two days is more than enough for you to make a round trip!"
Flying orcs don't have as many restrictions as land orcs. They don't need to bypass the settlements of other orc tribes, and if they travel in a straight line, they will definitely be much faster than land orcs.
According to Ya, it would take them about 7 days to travel from Qingshan Tribe to Dahe Tribe.
Most of the time was spent bypassing the settlements of other tribes, as well as the core territories of other tribes.
This detour makes the journey much more than just several times longer.
Lin Xue had never witnessed the flying speed of the Golden Eagle Clan, but she had experienced the speed of the Eagle Beasts when she was captured by the Eagle Clan's wandering beastmen.
According to what Ya said at the time, the eagle beast was not flying at full speed, and seemed to have suffered some kind of injury, which is why it was so slow.
If the eagle beast were to fly at full speed, it would be at least 5 to 7 times faster than it was before.
From this, Lin Xue was able to roughly determine the flying speed of the Golden Eagle clan.
"It's not that our Golden Eagle Clan is unwilling to send more people to help this beautiful female, but the cost would be much higher!"
Who says orcs are all innocent? This Jin Ao may look big and burly, but he's got a mind of his own, no less than anyone else's.
"Chief Jin Ao, look closely at these dried fruits. Such a large fruit can only be dried into such small pieces. The price we offered is really not low!"
"Besides, during the cold winter, female orcs are very prone to getting sick if they don't get enough fruits and vegetables for a long time!"
"And these dried fruits from our Green Mountain tribe can perfectly supplement the vitamins that the female beastmen lack. You only have to make a trip to get food that makes the tribe's females healthier, so this is definitely a good deal for you!"
If the other party wants to raise the price, Lin Xue will naturally have to find a way to lower it.
Although her target price was 5 bags of dried fruit, it would be better if she could get it down to a lower price.
"Oh? Is this dried fruit really that good?"
At first, Jin Ao thought that since his daughter liked to eat these dried fruits, the other females in the family must also like them.
I just wanted to get some snacks for the females in the house, I never expected this stuff to be so useful.
"Of course, green foods are difficult to preserve during the cold season, so I suppose your tribe doesn't prepare this kind of dried fruit?"
"Of course, even if your tribe has a lot of fruit, Chief Jin Ao doesn't think that you can make these delicious dried fruits just by cutting them open and drying them in the sun, does he?"
After saying this, Lin Xue straightened her posture and smiled mysteriously.
Isn't that so?
Jin Ao really thought so. He planned to return to the tribe, take some of the fruits he had collected, slice them, and dry them in the sun.
As the clan leader, he could naturally see that these dried fruits could be stored for a longer period of time.
Fresh fruit, if left out for too long, will rot and spoil, and cannot be stored at all.
"Chief Jin Ao could go back and try it out, see if slicing the fruit and drying it in the sun can turn it into such delicious dried fruit!"
"However, our Green Mountain tribe has a piece of advice: don't waste too many fruits when you're doing experiments!"
"What if the fruit doesn't dry properly? Wouldn't that be a waste of all the hard work we put into collecting it?"
Making dried fruit is a very particular process; it's not as simple as just cutting and drying it!
Even if the fruit could be dried, its taste and appearance still couldn't compare to those of Lin Xue and the others.
"this……"
Although the orcs of the ancient orc continent were simple and honest, they were very secretive about the technology of their own race.
As the clan leader, Jin Ao was too embarrassed to ask how they did it.
Because he knew very well that even if he asked, people wouldn't tell him.
"How about this, you add two more bags of dried fruit, and I'll send 50 orcs to help you deliver the goods!"
"We really can't have too little. We know that making one bag of dried fruit like this requires a lot of fresh fruit. However, our tribe has many females, and if we have too little, it will be difficult for us to distribute it!"
After careful consideration, Jin Ao realized that this deal wasn't entirely out of the question.
Back then, the orcs of the Green Mountain tribe sold dried fruit outside, exchanging a small bag weighing about three pounds for thirty pounds of dried meat.
This is a 1:1 exchange rate, and the promised reward was packed in a large animal skin bag.
This bag weighs about 80 or 90 pounds, which would amount to 800 or 900 pounds of dried meat.
Although their Golden Eagle tribe has no shortage of dried meat, they desperately need these dried fruits.
This cannot be measured entirely by the standard of dried meat.
"Add fifty more orcs, and we'll provide meals!"
Fifty flying orcs would indeed lighten their burden considerably, but after thinking about it, Lin Xue decided that since they had already invited them, they might as well invite more.
"Now is the time when prey is plentiful, and with such beautiful females, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether they feed us or not!"
Jin Ao didn't understand why Lin Xue emphasized that they would provide meals. Did they think that the Golden Eagle Clan would go hungry when they were traveling?
