Chapter 283 Saltpeter and Graphite



"Ah!" Meng Yuqing woke up in shock, struggled out of Xuan's arms, and then looked Xuan over from head to toe.

Fortunately, there are no leather sofas or suits.

"It's okay, I just thought of some strange things."

Seeing Xuanxiang asking more questions, Meng Yuqing immediately reached out to stop him, "Don't ask. I won't tell you even if you ask me."

Xuan lowered his eyes and stared at him until Meng Yuqing felt uncomfortable, then he pulled Meng Yuqing's hand down and kissed it.

After taking Meng Yuqing to find the teeth and chain, Xuan left.

He didn't always accompany Meng Yuqing when they went to the market, when he was not around.

Basically, it was Chain and Fang, plus an orc who had reached the level of an ordinary orc, hanging out with Meng Yuqing.

In the vegetable garden in front of their house, they have already planted a lot of seasonings that Meng Yuqing exchanged from the system.

But in the market, Meng Yuqing still saw the animal world version of those seasonings.

He was quite interested. After all, many things in the Beast World looked like enlarged versions of those in the modern world, and their effects were enhanced versions of those in the modern world.

He changed a lot of seeds here and there, but he didn't insist on changing them. If there were seeds, he would change them. If there weren't any, it didn't matter.

The Qingshan tribe grows enough crops and raises a lot of livestock. Although there are three other tribes temporarily living there to help with the work, the manpower is not very sufficient.

You can't just see something and think about taking it home to grow it yourself.

Most of the people running the stalls nearby had experienced what happened in the Graystone Tribe, so they all knew Meng Yuqing and had heard what he said that day.

Therefore, when they saw him coming to their stall, they were very enthusiastic.

Even though Meng Yuqing was just taking a look, nothing was changed in the end.

Squatting in front of a stall, Meng Yuqing was changing cumin.

The stall owner was packing things for Meng Yuqing nervously. While the stall owner was packing things, he looked up and glanced at the stalls around him.

The stalls next to this one mostly sell plants.

Meng Yuqing found a lot of things, including beans and fungus. At Meng Yuqing's eye signal, all the teeth were replaced.

Ya even asked the other party why these edible plants were not taken to the three major tribes to exchange for salt.

The orcs from that tribe answered while packing their food, "We said it was edible, but they didn't believe us. Even after we ate it and showed them, they still refused to exchange it for more.

Because they have never seen or eaten it, but I guess they will want it next year.

It's a pity there aren't many of these. This round fruit is quite filling, but the black one doesn't have much flavor."

Ya nodded, gave the salt stone to the other party, and walked back with the things.

The orc was still a little stunned until he got the salt stone given by Ya. He came here just to try his luck. After all, some big tribes would indeed give out a little salt stone in exchange for things.

But he didn't hold out much hope. After all, there were so many edible plants, and what they brought were not common things. Others might not be interested in them, and even if they were, they might not exchange them for salt stone.

Meng Yuqing was still scanning the surrounding stalls. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at a stall with a lot of stones.

"You wait here for Ya, Lian and I will go over there to take a look." Meng Yuqing turned and said to the ordinary orc who followed him out.

After seeing the orc nod, Meng Yuqing walked to the stall with various stones with the chain.

The person guarding the stall was a young orc, who seemed a little nervous when he saw Meng Yuqing coming over.

Basically no one would come to exchange things from their tribe, and there was nothing useful near their tribe, only some strange stones.

They brought these stones here to see if the Blue Water Tribe wanted them. They had been to the Blue Water Tribe once before, and the Blue Water Tribe had exchanged some for them, but not many.

Obviously not very interested in their stuff.

Ignoring the other party's nervousness, Meng Yuqing walked to the stall, squatted down, and picked up the largest stone on the stall.

The orc guarding the stall saw Meng Yuqing pick up the unremarkable stone. His lips moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he whispered, "That stone isn't pretty, and no one else wants it."

Meng Yuqing looked up at him in surprise. Was he reminding her that this thing was worthless and asked her not to exchange it?

But shouldn't I be happy to receive a good exchange for something useless? Why would the seller politely discourage me from buying it?

However, this stone is of no use to them, but for Meng Yuqing, it can become something useful after processing.

Reaching out and knocking on the stone, Meng Yuqing didn't want to explain too much. He asked directly, "Do you still have this kind of stone?"

The orc guarding the stall showed a surprised expression when he heard what Meng Yuqing said, but he had already reminded him, and the other party still wanted to change, so he couldn't refuse.

"Not much. We only brought an animal skin bag. It's not good-looking and we didn't think anyone would want it, so we didn't bring much." After the orc guarding the stall said the truth, he ran back to where they put their things, took out an animal skin bag and carried it over.

He placed the bag in front of Meng Yuqing and opened it, saying, "This bag is full of these stones."

Meng Yuqing looked through the stones inside and nodded, "Are there many stones like this near your tribe?"

The orc guarding the stall was stunned for a moment, then nodded frantically, "We have a lot of them. We dug a hole, and there are these stones inside. It's like a salt cave."

Hearing him say this, Meng Yuqing touched his chin. It seemed that there was a graphite mine near the tribe, and he could use some of it to make ink.
