When we returned to the tribe’s stall, we saw that it was packed with people and the six of us could barely squeeze in.
"With so many people here, our tribe's business is pretty good." After squeezing into the wooden shed with great effort, Meng Yuqing was a little surprised by the scene in front of him.
The people who stayed behind in the Qingshan tribe tried hard to maintain order in front of the stalls, while Bo and others were also busy counting the items that others brought in for trade.
After Xuan put the fire fruit away in the wooden shed, he walked towards Xia in the crowd.
"Father beast."
"Xuan? You're back?" Xia looked at Xuan with some surprise.
"It's almost noon." Xuan reminded, "Yafu and the others will be back soon."
Hearing Xuan say this, Xia looked up at the sun, then slapped his head, "It's already this late, what have you gained?"
He took Xuan out of the crowd and into the wooden shed.
"I changed this this morning." Meng Yuqing took out a fire fruit and handed it to Xia.
Taking the fire fruit, Xia leaned in and smelled it, "A-choo——" he sneezed.
"What is this? It smells so pungent."
"It's fire fruit. It can be used as seasoning to make things more delicious. Also, eating it in winter will make you warmer." Meng Yuqing explained simply.
"Shall we exchange these for winter?" Xia looked at the bag of fire fruits.
"These fruits contain seeds. We can plant them first and harvest a batch before winter." Meng Yuqing said about the arrangements for the fire fruit.
After hearing Meng Yuqing's explanation, Xia nodded and said, "We don't quite understand this either, so we'll leave it to you."
"There's one more thing." Meng Yuqing sat up straight. "We met a tribe today. They have a kind of glowing stone that can illuminate the night. I agreed to trade it for soap."
"Glowing stones?" Xia was a little surprised. "Have you met the Yellowstone Tribe? They are the only ones here who have glowing stones."
"We didn't mention the names of our tribes, we just talked about trade." Meng Yuqing shook his head. Unless the tribes trading in the market know each other, they generally won't tell others which tribe they are from.
"How much do we want to trade?" Xia was very interested in this stone. The orcs' vision was not affected at night, but the sub-beasts' vision was not affected.
If there is no light in the house, it is easy to fall or bump into things, especially if there are cubs in the belly, which is very dangerous.
Although you can burn a fire inside the house, it is really too hot in the summer.
It would be much more convenient if I had this stone.
"They have 300 stones, and we want to exchange them for 200 bars of ordinary soap and 105 bars of perfumed soap." Meng Yuqing and Xia explained the price they had agreed upon this time.
"That's all?" Xia was a little surprised. "When are we going to trade with them?"
"We'll take our stuff to their stall tomorrow morning. I didn't tell them where we are."
"Okay, I'll send a few more people to accompany you." Xia agreed readily, "The things are all in that bag, you can pack them yourselves."
After talking about these things, Xia went outside the wooden shed again, and Meng Yuqing pulled Xuan to follow and see.
There were many people crowded in front of the stall, holding all kinds of things in their hands.
Meng Yuqing listened carefully to what they said.
"What do you want to exchange for this soap?"
"Do you want to exchange plants? Do you want to exchange berries?"
"We'll trade it for salt. Do you want it?"
Those who can come to exchange soap are basically from tribes that are living well. Only if they can exchange enough salt will they have extra things to exchange for other things. The Qingshan tribe does not restrict what can be exchanged. Anyway, as long as it is useful, it will be exchanged.
Animal meat is also accepted, but the quantity is limited. Only enough for everyone to eat for one day is exchanged each day, and no more will be exchanged.
But even so, this gave some small tribes the opportunity to exchange things.
"What's that black thing of yours? It turns black once I touch it."
Someone noticed the charcoal.
"It's a fire, it doesn't produce smoke and it burns for a long time. Do you want one?" The people of the Qingshan tribe answered briefly, picking out the key points.
It's really too busy.
"A fire? No, no, I'd rather use soap."
The man immediately put down the charcoal and turned around to wait for the soap to be replaced.
Meng Yuqing looked at everyone actively changing the soap, but was a little puzzled as to why they ignored the charcoal.
"Chief, don't they want charcoal?" He walked to Xia and asked softly.
"Don't worry about them. If they don't want to exchange it, we can take it back and use it ourselves." Xia didn't care. Only those who have used charcoal will know the benefits of it. Barbecue grilled with charcoal tastes better. They just don't know the value of it.
Hearing Xia's words, Meng Yuqing thought, that's right, they don't want us to use it ourselves, so he stopped worrying about it and squatted down to help the busy people.
"Go back to the wooden shed. There are too many people here, all of them are unfamiliar orcs. It's not safe." Xuan stopped him.
Hearing Xuan's words, Xia also turned his head and looked at Meng Yuqing, "You go in, Qiu Ye and the others will be back soon, just leave this outside to us."
Meng Yuqing looked at the two of them, and thought that when he went to the market, it was indeed orcs who guarded the stalls, and there were no sub-beasts circling in front of the stalls, so he stopped insisting and returned to the wooden shed.
Soon Qiu Ye and the others came back. Each of the ten orcs who followed them out was carrying a huge animal skin bag, and the four sub-beasts each held an animal skin bag, with happy smiles on their faces.
It seems that I got something satisfactory in exchange.
"What did you change?" Meng Yuqing leaned in front of Qiu Ye and asked softly.
"Look!" Qiu Ye opened a bag of animal skins. "This bag is full of beautiful animal skins."
Meng Yuqing looked and saw that most of them were solid-colored animal skins, mainly light-colored, and the occasional patterned ones were only two colors.
"When I came here before, I saw a lot of beautiful things, but I couldn't exchange them. This time, we all got them." Qiu Ye hugged a roll of silver-gray animal skin and rubbed it, looking very happy. "The wild animals near our tribe are not good-looking."
Seeing Qiu Ye's performance, Meng Yuqing scratched his head. The wild beasts near the tribe are okay, right? The white-spotted beast is not bad, with a body of brown and black, and a large white spot on its head.
The beast caught by the little orc is also pretty good, orange and black combination.
He looked at the animal skins that Qiu Ye took out one by one... Well, these animal skins were indeed much better looking.
