Some people have gathered in the tribal square, most of them are those who are free now. They watch the tribesmen who went out this time unload the things they exchanged for one by one.
"Chief, what did we change this time?"
"Now that our tribe has soap, we definitely don't need to exchange it for shampoo grass. We can exchange it for something else."
"Change to nice-looking animal hides! The animal hides in our tribe are all black and yellow. The animal hides from the Baishan tribe are beautiful."
"Hurry Fruit, did you get this in exchange? My little sub-beast is about to be born."
"Don't worry, don't worry. We've already exchanged for everything you mentioned, and we even got some very rare items." Li stepped forward and blocked the crowd that was about to gather around him. "We'll take them out one by one and show them to you."
After maintaining order, Xia began to take out a portion of the contents of each bag and show them to everyone.
"Oh! White animal skin. My partner has told me many times that he likes this kind of animal skin. I've decided on this one. I'll come and exchange it when the time comes." An orc said when he saw the animal skin that Xia took out.
"My family wants it too. We can't give it all to you. We also want to exchange it." His words were immediately refuted by another orc.
Although they don't understand what's so beautiful about this kind of animal skin, and it's not as beautiful as their own fur, it doesn't stop them from knowing that their partners like it and want it.
"Don't argue, don't argue. We've exchanged a lot of beautiful hides, not just this one. We have many other colors. The ten or so bags are all hides we exchanged with the Baishan Tribe and the Baihua Tribe. I guarantee they are all beautiful. Qiuye personally selected them with his sub-beasts. Are you still worried?"
Li immediately interrupted and said that although the tribe would exchange those animal skins in the past, they always got very little in return. After all, they did not dare to exchange them for large amounts of salt for fear of being targeted.
So every time the animal skins were divided, the beastmen with partners would have a fight. The winner would be eligible to exchange for the animal skins, and the loser would go home and be beaten and scolded.
When I saw the losers the next day, their bodies and faces were mostly covered with scratches and bite marks from the sub-beasts.
Although these marks are like tickling to them.
This period can be said to be the busiest time for the Qingshan tribe before the autumn hunting competition. People fight in the square every day, sometimes several times a day.
After calming down the two orcs who were about to fight on the spot, Xia opened several other bags of animal skins and took out a few pieces of skins to show to the tribesmen.
They were all selected by Qiuye and the others, and even the ones with patterns are very beautiful.
After displaying the hides, Xia opened another bag. "This is what we're exchanging with the Blue Water Tribe. Their items are harder to exchange than those from the White Mountain Tribe and the Hundred Flowers Tribe. We've never traded with them before, so this time we're bringing it back for everyone to see and learn from."
In addition to being curious about all kinds of things, Xia is also committed to broadening the horizons of his tribesmen, for fear that they will be deceived by others when they go out one day.
Hearing what Xia said, everyone looked at him intently, even Meng Yuqing became curious.
When he was at the market, he was mostly busy with his own affairs and didn't pay much attention to what the people in the tribe exchanged.
Xia took out a round object as big as a basketball from the bag.
Meng Yuqing's eyes suddenly widened! He shouted, "Fuck!", earning a puzzled look from Xuan. "Fuck?" Was that what Yuqing's old tribe called this thing?
Meng Yuqing didn't notice Xuan's eyes and stared at the thing in Xia's hand.
It was a pearl! It was as big as two palms! It shone brightly in the sunlight, breathtaking.
He grabbed Xuan, who had transformed into a humanoid and was standing beside him, "Pearl!!"
Pearl? Isn't it called "Wocao"? Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing in confusion.
The other tribesmen were all excited when they saw the pearls. It was a rare sight that orcs and sub-beasts had the same aesthetic taste.
“This thing looks good.”
"I've seen this before in the Blue Water Tribe. It's extremely hard to get."
"Can this be exchanged? If so, I would definitely exchange it."
"Don't even think about it. Everyone wants to change, but it's still uncertain who will get it."
"Come on, let's have a match now."
Seeing the scene gradually becoming chaotic, Li immediately spoke up, "We only got this largest one. We're not going to trade it out. It's for the tribe to use. We'll use it to decorate the stage for the annual competition after the autumn hunt. But there are other smaller ones that can be traded."
After Xia Zaili finished speaking, he stuffed the big pearl into the bag and took out a few pearls the size of ping-pong balls.
"Hiss~" Meng Yuqing took a breath. Are the small pearls they were talking about so big?
Because they saw pearls as big as basketballs, everyone was relatively calm when Xia took out the small pearls. However, Meng Yuqing clearly saw that many people were also eager to get the small pearls.
After putting the small pearls back into the bag, Xia touched it again and grabbed a handful of colorful things, which were about the size of his palm, crystal clear, and looked like the most beautiful gems in the sun.
Meng Yuqing stretched out his hand to block the dazzling sunlight, and squinted his eyes to see clearly what Xia was holding.
They are scales, colorful scales with various patterns on them, which are extremely exquisite.
"What kind of beast's scales are these?" Meng Yuqing pulled Xuan beside him.
"They're not scales from wild beasts, but scales dropped by the orcs of the Blue Water Tribe. They're very sharp and beautiful. They process some of them themselves to soften them and use them for decoration. The sub-beasts love them. The unprocessed ones can be used for cutting things, but they're not as good as deer antlers or our nails."
"Is that so? Are they a tribe that lives exclusively in water?" Meng Yuqing asked softly.
"Yes, they are far away from here, and they don't like our water, so they don't come every year. Even if they come, they don't take up stalls. The three major tribes specially dug a ditch from the big river they came from to the market so that they can enter directly. And they don't exchange salt. The plants they brought are actually salty, just like salt, so they exchange for things that interest them."
"What do you mean by not liking the water here?" Hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing suddenly had an idea in his mind.
"I don't know. My father told me. He said that the Blue Water Tribe lives in water, but they don't like our water. The water in their tribe is different from the water we use." Xuan shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Meng Yuqing waved at Xuan, motioning him to lower his head.
Xuan lowered his head obediently.
He leaned over to Xuan's ear and whispered, "Do you remember the sea I mentioned?"
Sea? Xuan recalled that Yuqing had mentioned the sea to him before. He said that if they found the sea, there would be endless salt. Although their tribe had a salt cave and the salt was inexhaustible, he was still very interested in the sea.
