In Ling Yun's impression, the rat tribe seemed to be herbivores, and their size was only enough to prey on some insects at most.

However, there must be females in the Rat Tribe, so there should still be a demand for animal meat.

But Buer clutched his bag like a treasure: "No, I only need the hides. Our tribe has already stored plenty of food."

Potatoes can be stored, so they have no shortage of food. Although animal meat is delicious, they will freeze to death without animal skins to survive the cold season!

"Okay. Can you give me some time? Let me go get some animal skins and then exchange them with you."

Ling Yun said.

Bu'er stared at Ling Yun, then his eyes turned away.

He had been in this trading center for a day, and this was the first tribe to express its desire for potatoes.

Anyway, there is no one to exchange...

"Okay, I can wait for you for a day, and I won't trade with anyone else during this day."

"So how many animal skins do you want to exchange for these potatoes?"

Ling Yun looked at the animal skin bag in Bu'er's hand. There were about a hundred pounds of potatoes in it, not much.

"All this can be exchanged for a hide," said Bu Er. "We have many caves. Even if you bring a hundred hides, we still have enough potatoes."

Ling Yun understood: "Okay, let's go with this price. I'll go find someone else to exchange with."

After Ling Yun finished talking with Bu'er, he told Lin Qiu about the content of the conversation.

Lin Qiu touched his chin and said, "I think Bu'er's current predicament is also our predicament. People don't know how delicious potatoes are, and they don't fully believe that the meat we exchanged can really be stored."

Lin Qiu hit the nail on the head.

As soon as she finished speaking, two male tigers came over dejectedly. "These people are so stupid. They don't even believe what we say. Lin Qiu, what if they don't believe our meat can be stored until the rainy season is over?"

As they spoke, everyone gathered together in groups of three or four, obviously having hit a wall.

"I also want to exchange some feathers with that Feather Tribe orc. Females like that... but they think we are cheating."

"Yes, the animal hide boots made by that orc over there are very exquisite. I really want to exchange a pair for the female in our family! Well, if I bring animal hides with me, maybe it will go more smoothly."

Lin Qiu looked at everyone's worried faces and offered an idea: "Let's try giving our jerky to the people we're chatting with a taste of our meat when we talk again. The aroma will improve their impression of us. Then we can explain to them why this meat can be stored. As long as there's enough water, it won't rot easily, just like how animal meat rots especially quickly during the rainy season due to the humidity."

"Are we giving them food for free? What if they eat it but don't trade with us?"

"If you don't want to change it, then don't. It's just a small piece of jerky, so our loss isn't that big."

"And the bacon?"

"Although cured meat is more moist than jerky, it still loses a lot of moisture. And because it's raw, they can make it into whatever they like. Also, jerky is more complicated to make, so we can exchange more for it, while cured meat can be obtained with less. I think some people will be willing to do it."

After Lin Qiu finished speaking, everyone nodded: "This is the only way to try it!"

"Lin Qiu, I didn't expect you to be so smart!"

Ling Yun continued: "Of course, my females are of course very smart."

When they arrived, they had already used the value of animal skins to unify the value of the things everyone wanted to exchange. After the discussion, everyone went their separate ways.

Song Mu continued to be responsible for watching Lin Qiu.

Lin Qiu looked around the trading center for a while but didn't find what she wanted, so she told Song Mu that she wanted to take a walk in the forest, hoping she could find some rare things there.
