"Are there any more animal skins?" After thinking for a moment, he looked at the other four people.
"I have one here, but it's not very big." An older orc said, handing over a piece of animal skin.
"It's okay, it's enough." Meng Yuqing took the hide, put three bars of soap in it and wrapped it up. He took out five more bars of soap and put them in the hide bag. "Let them choose later."
After they finished installing, Jie also came out.
He was waiting about ten meters away from them with a hide bag in his hand.
Meng Yuqing carried the animal skin bag, and Xuan walked towards Jie with the soap wrapped in animal skin.
"We have two kinds, one unscented and one scented. Which one would you like? The scented one is definitely more valuable than the unscented one, so I'll give you less."
Jie thought for a while and said, "I want both, but I'll take less of the ones with fragrance."
"Okay, let's get the stuff out then."
After saying that, the two men opened the animal skin bag, and Xuan also opened the animal skin wrapped in the soap.
Jie gave four pieces of yellow light stones. Meng Yuqing raised his eyebrows. It was more than he expected. He thought that the yellow light stones and soap should be of the same price.
When Jie saw the number given by Meng Yuqing, he nodded without any expression of dissatisfaction.
It seems that both parties are quite satisfied with the price.
"How many yellow stones do you want? We don't have many left, only about 300 stones." After the price was agreed upon, it was time to discuss the quantity.
Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan, who nodded and said, "That's enough."
"We want both. Just decide which one you want."
"All of them?" Jie looked at them in surprise. They could actually change them all. He looked at the people of Qingshan tribe with a cautious look. It seemed that the ability of this tribe was no worse than his own.
Seeing Jie's expression, Meng Yuqing tried hard to suppress the smile on his face.
"We want 200 for the unscented ones, and the rest will be exchanged for the scented ones." Facing the scorching gaze of the sub-beasts of his tribe, Jie looked at Meng Yuqing calmly and said.
"Okay, we will bring the things to you at this time tomorrow. We have something else to do later, so it is not convenient to take you there." After hearing Jie's request, Meng Yuqing immediately responded.
Judging from the location of the stall, Jie's tribe is likely larger than the Qingshan tribe, so it's better not to bring them there for the sake of caution.
Jie thought about it and nodded in agreement. After all, if the other party was willing to deliver the goods to the door, there was no need for his people to make a trip. Moreover, the transaction place was near his stall, so he was not worried about them playing tricks.
After reaching an agreement, both parties had satisfied smiles on their faces.
Meng Yuqing and Xuan and the others left the stall of Jie's tribe.
"Xuan, let's go to the stall with the red plants we noted earlier."
After getting away from Jie and the others, Meng Yuqing and Xuan made a suggestion.
He had seen the Beast World version of chili peppers before, and when he recalled the taste of barbecued skewers in the modern world, Meng Yuqing's mouth was watering. He was so greedy.
Xuan led them around and around until they arrived at the stall where Meng Yuqing found the chili peppers.
"What do you want to exchange?" The young orc squatting in front of the stall saw someone coming and immediately greeted him.
Meng Yuqing looked around. There were less than ten orcs and no sub-beasts. They looked similar to Bo and the others.
"How are you going to exchange these plants?" Squatting down, Meng Yuqing carefully looked at the things on the animal skin. It was the Beast World version of pepper, a plant that the system called fire fruit in the "Beast World Continent Information Encyclopedia".
It doesn't look like a pepper at all. It looks like a gourd, and is as big as two palms.
"For salt, we only exchange salt." The orc answered immediately. He looked carefully at the expressions of Meng Yuqing and Xuan and others behind him.
Meng Yuqing picked up a fire fruit and smelled it. It was very spicy, comparable to the taste of a chili pepper.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the orc immediately said, "Eat this fire fruit and you'll feel warm and sweaty. When it's cold in winter, just eat a bite and you won't feel cold anymore. Our tribe uses this in winter."
"With such a good thing, why don't you exchange it with the three major tribes?" Meng Yuqing asked knowingly. He couldn't appear too eager, in case he was taken advantage of.
Sure enough, the orc's face froze and his eyes began to look around.
"The fire fruit will cause a burning sensation in your mouth, so the three major tribes are unwilling to exchange it. They don't need it to keep warm in the winter."
Seeing this, an older orc came out of the wooden shed and explained that he looked to be in his fifties, but according to Meng Yuqing's experience, this orc was at least seventy years old. Xia and the others looked to be around thirty, but were actually in their forties.
The older orc patted the frozen young orc, then turned to Meng Yuqing and continued, "Our tribe eats this all winter long. We can guarantee it's harmless to the body. It does make you feel much warmer after eating it, and the burning sensation disappears quickly. Drinking water can also alleviate the feeling."
Meng Yuqing lowered his head and looked hesitant.
Everyone in the other tribe looked at him nervously. They couldn't exchange enough salt from the three major tribes, so they could only hope that other capable tribes would take a fancy to their things.
"Did you pick the fire fruits after they were fully ripe?" Meng Yuqing looked up and asked. The seeds of the fire fruits are inside the fruit. If they are fully ripe, the seeds can be taken out.
"Yes, we wait until the fire fruits are all red before picking them. Those that are not red will not have the same effect." The older orc answered honestly.
"How many did you bring?" Meng Yuqing put the fire fruit back on the stall.
The young orc immediately showed a delighted expression when he heard him ask this. He ran into the wooden shed and brought out a hide bag. "It's all in here. How much do you want?"
