After unloading their things, they all turned into human forms.
Seeing that they were much thinner than the orcs in Qingshan City, they stood at the door of the conference hall with some uneasiness.
It was not until the orcs from Qingshan City called them in that they hurriedly dragged all their things in.
After Meng Yuqing got off Ya's back, he followed him in.
Xuan was sitting on the stone chair at the top of the conference hall. The chair was covered with thick animal skins. Combined with Xuan's sitting posture, he looked like a mountain king.
Seeing Meng Yuqing coming, Xuan Zhao waved and asked him to sit on the stone bench next to him.
It’s obvious at first glance that he’s the second-in-command.
Meng Yuqing drove these messy thoughts out of his head and walked over to sit down.
Ya followed and stood beside him.
Lian had something to do today, so he was responsible for helping Xuan look after Meng Yuqing on behalf of Lian.
"We're here to give you this stone." An orc from the Saltpeter Tribe stepped out, pointing to the bag they had brought with them and continuing nervously, "Our people said your tribe's witch wants this stone for a long time, and they said we could bring it to you for trade."
Xuan held up his face and said, "Then what do you want to change?"
The people of the Saltpeter Tribe looked at Xuan and said, "We heard that you are going to open a market. We want to come to your market. We hope that in this market, we can be treated fairly and not be bullied by other tribes that are stronger than us."
Xuan looked at them and said directly, "This is something that everyone who comes to the market in our tribe can enjoy. You don't need to exchange anything for this treatment. You can exchange it for something else."
The people of the Saltpeter Tribe were a little surprised. After exchanging glances for a moment, they said, "Well... we want to exchange for some salt, charcoal, and edible plants for the winter."
"Salt? Haven't you learned how to make salt? Why do you still need to change the salt?" Meng Yuqing asked in surprise.
"We do know how to make salt, but our tribe is too far from the sea, and it's not a big tribe. We don't dare go to the seaside to fetch water and make salt in good seasons. We can only do it in winter. Although the salt we bring back can be eaten for a year, we have to save it." The orcs of the Saltpeter Tribe answered honestly.
They had no choice. Although their tribe now had salt to eat, the quantity was not enough.
Xuan and Meng Yuqing both saw no problem with the things they wanted to exchange.
People were quickly arranged to go down and prepare for them, and Meng Yuqing also began to check the saltpeter they brought.
This tribe was very down-to-earth. The bags they brought were filled with saltpeter, and not a single piece was a filler.
Meng Yuqing and Xuan were particularly satisfied with what they saw.
Thinking that they would need to exchange plants for food to eat in the winter, Xuan asked people to give them some bacon and sweet potato flour as a bonus in addition to the plants.
The Saltpeter Tribe was naturally overjoyed. Before leaving, they cautiously asked Xuan, "Can we exchange this kind of preserved meat for the market?"
Xuan thought for a moment and said, "We can change it, but not by much. It's impossible for people in our tribe to do nothing but make this kind of meat every day."
"It doesn't matter, as long as we can exchange it." The people of the Saltpeter Tribe naturally agreed.
For them, even just one piece of meat that can be preserved for at least a year could potentially save the life of a member of the tribe in winter.
Meng Yuqing only kept one bag of the saltpeter brought by the Saltpeter Tribe for making gunpowder, and used the rest for daily life. Since the discovery of ice, the living standards of the people in Qingshan City have risen sharply.
Especially after Meng Yuqing invented the ice bucket as a substitute for the refrigerator, people in Qingshan City discovered the wonderful uses of the ice bucket and every household made one.
However, there was not enough saltpeter before, so the ice had to be made by specialized ice makers in the city and stored in ice cellars, and then distributed to the tribesmen as needed.
If you want edible ice, you need to apply for it separately.
Later, after Meng Yuqing casually mentioned that the white frost in the corner of the toilet was saltpeter, someone actually went to the toilet to scrape the saltpeter. People in the hunting team also found that some wild animals also had saltpeter in their caves.
They actually brought some back, but the amount was very small, and it was impossible for them to do nothing but go into wild animal caves to get saltpeter every day.
I originally thought that I would have to wait until the market opened before I could exchange for a large amount of saltpeter, but I didn't expect the saltpeter tribe to arrive early.
After enough saltpeter was delivered this time, every household received some. As long as they did not waste it and strictly followed Meng Yuqing's requirements, they could at least ensure that they had ice for the summer.
Lian's father beast has never left Qingshan City since it came there, and has settled down here.
His strength was about the same as Fei's. After meeting Lian, he went to find Fei again. They talked for a long time. He asked Fei about Lian's life in Qingshan City over the years.
How the chain grew slowly, how Fei taught the chain step by step, and how the chain became stronger step by step.
Listening to Fei's story, he seemed to witness with his own eyes the years they had missed during the growth of the chain.
The market is about to open, and many tribes have already arrived near Qingshan City.
Xia Hexuan and the others started to get busy again. They organized a guard team for the market, which was led by Yang and Xuan in turn to maintain order in the market. The orcs in the guard team were all very powerful.
Fei led a group of flying orcs to patrol the entire market at high altitude to check the situation.
A special guidance group was also arranged to receive the tribes coming to Qingshan Market, arrange seats for them, and tell them the rules of Qingshan Market.
The most important one is that you cannot use force to buy or sell things.
