"What's in these small bags?" Meng Yuqing pointed at the animal skin bags that Qiu Ye and the others brought back.
"The mushy fruit is for newborn cubs, mainly for small sub-beasts." Qiu Ye took out a fruit the size of a ball from the bag. It was milky white in color and had a hard shell.
"Ah?" Meng Yuqing looked at them in confusion, wondering if newborn babies drink milk?
Seeing his dumbfounded look, Qiu Ye burst out laughing, "Hahahahahahaha, Yu Qing is still a child after all."
How did he get involved with a child again? Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing's gaze fell on Qiu Ye's chest, and he suddenly realized.
Holy shit! They didn't!
He suddenly opened his eyes wide, and this reaction made Qiu Ye and the other three sub-beasts laugh again.
Meng Yuqing immediately put his hand to his face and said, "Stop laughing! You're making me blush!" He immediately changed the subject, "Is this enough to eat?"
Hearing his question, Qiu Ye slowly stopped laughing, "It's not enough. There are many tribes that want to exchange this fruit. It's good enough for us to exchange these."
"What should we do then? What will they eat after they are born?" Meng Yuqing asked with a frown. A Su was already pregnant with cubs, and several other sub-beasts in the tribe were also pregnant.
"The little orcs can eat meat directly. These are reserved for the little sub-beasts. If they finish this, mash the wild vegetables into a paste and mix it with broth for them to eat. Feed them a little at a time. They will get used to it after a month."
Qiu Ye stuffed the fruit back into the animal hide bag and looked at Meng Yuqing and continued, "It would definitely be best if you have this fruit. It doesn't matter if you don't have it, it just makes things more troublesome."
After listening to Qiu Ye's words, Meng Yuqing nodded and stopped talking. Instead, he frantically called the system in his mind.
"System, is this okay? Can a newborn baby digest it?"
"Host, the people in this world are different from yours. The cub will stay in the belly for 12 months. Host, don't worry."
"Can't we use wild beast's milk?" Meng Yuqing asked unwillingly.
"...Host... The beasts here don't have milk, so the young beasts can eat meat or grass directly after they are born."
All right! Meng Yuqing rubbed his face. They were indeed two completely different worlds.
Not long after Qiu Ye and the others came back, a few more people came back. Now, except for Lan and the orcs who took the pottery out, everyone else has returned. Xia arranged for everyone to take turns eating and then continued to stay at the stall to trade.
Bo and the others were so tired from collecting things that they looked numb.
When they came to the market before, they always tried their best to exchange salt with others, or use animal meat and skins to exchange some edible plants to the three major tribes to exchange for salt. They never thought that one day they would be surrounded by people asking them to exchange things, even though these things all belonged to the Qingshan tribe.
Seeing this fiery scene, Meng Yuqing silently took out the soap he was going to bring to Jie tomorrow and put it aside. The soap was so hot that he was afraid it would be replaced if he was not careful.
After finishing their meal, Meng Yuqing took Xuan and the four orcs out for another walk and visited several stalls they had previously taken a fancy to. Unfortunately, those stalls were too shady and they couldn't agree on the price. After all, it was just a seasoning and there was no need to exchange it. In the end, they returned to the tribe's stall without exchanging anything.
When the Shuilin tribe arrived, there was not much soap left. Their tribe came along the water source, so it took them some time.
Meng Yuqing looked at the people of the Shuilin tribe curiously. He heard from Xuan that the other two tribes were not led by their chiefs this time. Although the Shijiao tribe arrived last night, he was negotiating business with Jie when they came to exchange things with the Qingshan tribe, so he didn't see them. He had to take a good look at the people of the Shuilin tribe this time.
The orc leading the Shuilin Tribe this time was He. His humanoid hair was dark green and black, and his skin was very white, glowing with a cold, inorganic light. He brought three orcs to the Qingshan Tribe's stall and said, "Xia, I heard you have something new here. Let me take a look."
"If you come any later, the most popular items will be gone." Xia took out two bags from the wooden shed and handed them to He. "Take a look at these and see if you want them. If not, I'll give them to someone else."
"I know this is soap, we definitely want it, and what is this?" After opening the animal skin bag and looking at the soap, He raised a piece of charcoal and asked.
"Firewood is easier to use than wood. It burns longer without smoke. Your tribe will definitely like it." Xia Jianghe took him into the woodshed and pointed at the burning charcoal to show him.
"Is this it?" He approached the fire and looked around. "There's really no smoke. This thing is useful in the house in winter. Let's change it."
He turned and waved to an orc behind him, "Bring our things here."
Soon they brought over several huge animal skin bags. Meng Yuqing stretched his neck to look over there, extremely curious about what the Shuilin tribe had brought.
Soon the bag was opened.
Meng Yuqing's eyes suddenly widened.
Holy shit! What a huge snake skin!
He felt numb all over. Xuan, who was standing beside him, saw him tremble a little and immediately reached out to touch his back soothingly. "It's the skin shed by the snake orcs in their tribe. It's not a wild beast. Don't be afraid. Their skin is very tough and hard to break. It's a good thing."
Meng Yuqing turned around and looked at Xuan, "Does their tribe use this to exchange things?"
"There are also the teeth that the crocodile orcs have replaced. They replace their teeth every year. Orcs' teeth are the sharpest. Unfortunately, not every orc can replace their teeth every year like the crocodile orcs. It takes at least three or four years for other orcs' teeth to grow back if they are broken or fallen out, but they can grow back in a few days." Xuan said with some envy.
Meng Yuqing was stunned when he heard this. He knew that crocodiles could replace their teeth more than fifty times in their lifetime, but he did not expect that other beast-like orcs in this world could grow back their broken or fallen teeth.
Moreover, if we calculate based on the lifespan of orcs in this world, a crocodile orc can change his body once a year, which means he can change his body 150 times in his lifetime. It turns out that there is still a big difference between them and the animals in the modern world.
While they were talking, Xia and He had already completed the transaction. He was about to leave with a hundred bars of ordinary soap and four large bags of charcoal. "If the charcoal is useful, we will go to your tribe to exchange it later."
"no problem."
After the people from the Shuilin tribe left, it was already dark. After eating, Meng Yuqing simply washed up and ran to lie down on the mat on the ground.
Under his influence, everyone in the Qingshan tribe has a toothbrush. Qiuye also said that this is much more convenient than biting branches as they used to do.
