Soon, two older orcs took off their things and turned into human form, and the baby-faced orc also turned back into human form.
The three of them followed Lie into the reception house. The office spaces used by the people of Qingshan City in the market were basically built with red bricks or stones, to distinguish them from the wooden houses that accompanied the stalls.
There was still a long table in the reception area, with seven or eight sub-beasts and a dozen orcs sitting at it.
Lie brought the three of them in front of a sub-beast, and then said to them, "Tell me your names, how many people are coming this time, how many orcs and sub-beasts, and don't tell me the name of your tribe, we will give you numbers."
The three people looked at each other, not knowing why they did this, but still cooperated and told the information.
After all, orc names all have only one pronunciation, so it's easy to have the same name as someone else. It doesn't matter if you tell others. As for the number of people, they have followed Lie all the way here, and Lie must know it, so there is no need for them to hide it. Anyway, no one asked about the most important name of the tribe.
After registering their basic information, the orcs from Qingshan City brought a huge animal skin and spread it out, on which was painted the layout of the entire market and the locations of the stalls.
Lie led them to the animal hide and continued to introduce, "This is where we came in, and these patterns that look like small houses are stalls. You can choose one by yourself."
The three of them looked at the huge distribution map in amazement, walked around it several times, and finally discussed and chose a location that was neither too far nor too far from the center.
After they made their selection, they only dared to point at it and did not dare to touch the animal skin casually. It was obvious that this was a very precious thing. It would be great if they could take it out and show it to them, but they definitely did not dare to touch it.
After Lie confirmed the location with them again and again, he took out a small wooden sign engraved with a number and stuck it on the spot. Then he took out a small round wooden sign with the number seventeen written on it and handed it to the three of them, saying.
"Keep this. This is your proof of ownership of the stall. If someone wants to take advantage of the crowds and claim your stall is theirs, and take your things, you can bring this to us. Once we see it, we'll know who owns the stall. Remember, don't lose it. We only recognize this, not faces. There are so many people at the market, and we can't remember all their faces."
The three of them quickly put their things away and said they understood.
This process of Qingshan Market was determined by Meng Yuqing and Xia after a long meeting.
On the one hand, there have indeed been cases in the markets of the three major tribes where people occupied other people's stalls and claimed them as their own. Both sides insisted on their own opinions, and there was no other evidence, so it was impossible to judge who was telling the truth and who was lying.
Another aspect is to count how many tribes have come to Qingshan Market, and then roughly estimate the number of people in the entire tribe based on the number of people who came. Finally, count all the tribes that came together to make a rough estimate of the number of people.
The model proposed by Meng Yuqing immediately caught Xia and the others' attention, and Meng Yuqing also made a table.
The information registered on that day will be delivered to Meng Yuqing and Xia and others at a fixed time in the evening.
Then they would summarize the numbers and estimate the number of people based on their experience. If they found a tribe they knew, they would directly add the name of the tribe, and if they knew the location, they would also add the specific address.
Then, information about their tribal specialties and so on will be slowly collected and completed during the transactions.
After completing this series of processes, Lie took them to the stalls they selected on the distribution map.
When they were brought to the stall, they were still a little bit incredulous. The baby-faced orc asked Lie, "Is this for us to use temporarily? This house too?"
Lie nodded and said, "Yes, but you must take good care of the house here and clean it before leaving, otherwise you will be fined."
"Fine?" The baby-faced orc was a little confused. He understood the word "fine", but he didn't quite understand what "fine" meant.
"As punishment, you'll have to pay some fees, but as long as you clean the house before you leave, there won't be a fine. I think you can handle that, right?"
Lie looked at them. Although the people in this tribe were not very strong, they looked clean. The skins of the sub-beasts they brought were not dirty either. They should not be the kind of unclean and smelly tribe.
"We can do it, we can do it." They nodded quickly, then took out some wild vegetables and a kind of watermelon-like fruit unique to their tribe from the animal skin bag and handed them to Lie, saying, "This is the stall fee."
Lie took it, looked at it, and said, "I'll take this first. If the house is clean when you leave, we will refund you half."
"Okay, okay." The orc leading the tribe quickly agreed.
They sent Lie out of the shed and happened to meet Ya and a dozen orcs from the guard team passing by. Lian also came down from the sky, stood on Ya's back, greeted Lie, and then left.
The people of that tribe felt the powerful momentum of the guards and the chain, and seemed a little nervous. They were afraid that even several of them might not be able to defeat such a powerful orc.
Lie saw their expressions and said, "That flying orc is from the patrol team, responsible for checking the general situation of the entire market. Those land orcs are from the guard team, responsible for maintaining order. As long as you don't intend to do anything bad, you don't have to be afraid of them."
