This was what he and Xia had agreed on last night. After the market was over, if Bo and the others didn't show any unusual behavior, they would start accepting them.
After all, it is the hottest time after returning from the market. Wild beasts usually hide, and the cubs are almost driven away by their parents. They will become more ferocious in order to fight for space, and there will often be several ferocious beasts in one place. Hunting will be much more difficult than it is now.
If they had stayed outside, something unexpected might have happened.
Besides, autumn wasn't far away at that time, so they had to get used to each other and prepare for the autumn hunt early. They, a group of orcs, couldn't possibly let the tribe survive the entire winter in vain, so they had to do their part.
Although their strength is indeed a bit lacking, they are adult orcs after all.
After counting the salt, Xia walked over to Qiuye and gently touched his head. "I'll let Li bring nine people to go with you to exchange things. You can exchange for whatever you like."
After seeing Qiu Ye nod in agreement, Xia looked at Meng Yuqing again and said, "I'll ask Xuan to bring four other people to accompany you to exchange things. See if there is anything you need."
After a moment's thought, he continued, "Many tribes bring plants here in exchange for salt. There are many plants we don't have there. The Rolling Stone Tribe may not accept plants they haven't seen before. You can see if there are any you recognize."
After saying that, he took out an animal hide bag and handed it to Meng Yuqing. "You should be able to get whatever you want with these." He then handed over a larger bag. "Some tribes don't want salt, but want other things. Show them these."
Meng Yuqing took the animal hide bag and opened it. The first bag contained some crushed salt. The second large bag contained two small bags, one filled with soap and the other with some charcoal. He tied the animal hide bag to himself and nodded. "I understand. Why didn't the tribe leader exchange all the soap when they went to exchange the salt just now?"
"When exchanging salt with a tribe they are not familiar with, they will only give you this much salt. They will not give you more than that." Xia explained.
This surprised Meng Yuqing a little. It seemed that the amount of salt was limited, and other tribes were not allowed to exchange too much.
Outside the wooden shed, everyone had already spread out the animal skins and placed the items ready for exchange. Meng Yuqing took a quick look and saw ordinary soap, various berries and wild vegetables, charcoal, straw sandals and other woven items.
The only thing I didn't see was pottery.
He remembered that the tribe did bring some pottery with them, but not much, and most of them were very small and flawed. They didn't bring any well-fired ones with them at all.
Just when he was puzzled, he saw Lan and several orcs walk into the wooden shed, take out pottery from an animal skin bag, and put them into several small bags, with each small bag containing at most three or at least one pottery.
Then it was distributed to five orcs, whose faces and bodies were covered with mud and their appearance could not be seen clearly.
Seeing this situation, Meng Yuqing raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then he understood what was going on.
Putting things in front of your stall is equivalent to telling others that these things belong to your tribe, and it will be easy for others to find them.
So Xia and his friends planned to take the items to other stalls for exchange, offering a little bit at a time. By the time others realized what was happening and tried to find the source, they would probably have already found the items in every corner of the market.
After all, the market is so big, and there are many tribes coming here. In addition to the tribes, there are also many orcs wandering without tribes. If Bo and his friends had not met the Qingshan tribe, they would probably become this kind of people.
As long as the orcs going to trade disguise themselves well, no one will find the Qingshan tribe.
Pottery is different from soap. Soap and shampoo have similar effects, but soap is more convenient and has more fragrance than shampoo.
Pottery is something that has not yet appeared in this world. It is much more convenient than stone containers and is highly plastic. It can be made into various shapes as needed. It takes much more effort to achieve this with stone.
As for charcoal, if there is no charcoal, you can burn wood. Sometimes charcoal appears when burning a bonfire, but the output is not as large as that of specially burned charcoal.
After Lan distributed the pottery to the orcs, he took them out.
At this time, Li and Xuan also came over, and Li nodded to Xia and said.
"We're almost ready."
"Okay, I understand." Xia stood up and looked at Meng Yuqing and Qiu Ye, "I won't go out. I have to stay here. You guys go out and walk around."
Hearing Xia say this, Meng Yuqing also stood up and walked to Xuan's side.
Qiuye also brought the other four people to Li's side, "Then let's go shopping separately."
Then Li called nine orcs and took Qiu Ye and the others out.
Xuan also called four orcs, and the five of them were responsible for following Meng Yuqing.
The market covers a large area, and because the three tribes hosting the event will exchange salt here, many tribes come.
Meng Yuqing looked around as he walked. He originally thought that the total of 45 people from the Qingshan tribe plus Bo and his group was relatively small, but now he found that there were quite a lot of people from the Qingshan tribe.
There were only about a dozen people from other tribes, and only about twenty people from the Shijiao tribe.
Most of the stalls here also sell animal meat, animal skins and the like.
They could only rely on these animal meat and skins to exchange for edible plants and then go to the three major tribes to exchange for salt. They looked much thinner than the people of the Qingshan tribe, and were similar to Bo and others who had just arrived in their tribe.
"System, start exploration."
After hearing the system's agreement, Meng Yuqing quickened his pace and walked forward, trying to cover more ground within twenty minutes. Xuan saw him suddenly quicken his pace and immediately understood something. He walked directly behind Meng Yuqing to block the sight of the other four orcs.
Noticing Xuan's actions, Meng Yuqing turned around and smiled at Xuan with understanding.
From time to time, he would gesture to Xuan to ask him to note the stall location and come back to find it when the time was up.
These twenty minutes were quite worth it. I didn’t find anything of great use, but I did find some seasonings.
"Let's look back." When the time came, Meng Yuqing stopped and turned around to look at the five people following him.
"Why?"
"Ouch!"
Two voices sounded at the same time. Meng Yuqing was hit hard and fell forward without standing steadily. Just when he thought he was going to hit the ground with his face, he felt himself crashing into a warm embrace.
