After Meng Yuqing and Xuan entered the food area, they randomly picked a stall.
"Are you free to cook now?" Meng Yuqing asked.
A beastman immediately emerged from the wooden shed and whispered, "We're helping another tribe prepare food. It's almost ready. Would you like to wait a moment?"
Meng Yuqing sniffed, smelling the aroma of food, and turned to Xuan and said, "They cook it pretty well, let's just wait."
"Just make up your mind." Xuan said.
Meng Yuqing looked at the sub-beast and asked, "We're just here to stroll around and have something to eat. Is there a place to sit here?"
"Yes! Yes!" said the sub-beast.
An orc in the wooden shed heard their conversation, and quickly moved out a wooden table and two stools, set them up, and then wiped them clean with animal skins.
After the two sat down, the orc quickly took out two clean wooden bowls with wooden spoons and chopsticks in them.
Because people from Qingshan City often come to the food area to eat food made by other tribes, chopsticks are included in the tableware provided by the stalls here.
Although apart from the people in Qingshan City, not many others can use it.
Meng Yuqing looked at the wooden tableware in front of him. It was washed very clean and well made. The surface was polished very smoothly. It was obvious that it was made with great care.
After the tableware was put away, the orc left for a while and came back with four glasses of water and placed them on the table.
Meng Yuqing touched the cup and found that the water was warm.
Everyone knows that people in Qingshan City have to drink boiled water.
And when Meng Yuqing publicly announced his salt-making work a few years ago, he also mentioned that it was best to drink boiled water.
Therefore, the small stalls in these food areas pay close attention to these things.
But there were only two people, but the orc brought four cups.
Before Meng Yuqing could ask, the orc started explaining, "Two cups are just ordinary boiled hot water mixed with cold water, and the other two cups are soaked in a kind of red fruit that grows near our tribe. Some people aren't used to it, but some really like it."
When Meng Yuqing heard this, he picked up a cup and took a look inside. The transparent water was a little orange-red, and some small red fruits were floating up and down in it.
He took a sip, then smiled and said to Xuan, "It's wolfberry. It nourishes the liver, improves eyesight, and increases immunity. It's quite healthy. We have quite a few elderly people in the city. How about asking the clan leader to purchase some?"
"Just decide." Xuan took a sip of the wolfberry water, then wrinkled his nose. He was the kind of person who was not used to drinking it.
Seeing Xuan's expression, Meng Yuqing laughed and said, "Haha, don't wrinkle your nose. Only orcs like you have to drink. When you get busy, you stay up late. Staying up late hurts your liver. I will supervise you to drink one cup every day."
Having said that, he turned to look at the orc standing beside him in a daze and asked, "How many of these small fruits did you bring? If we have any in stock, we'd like to exchange some."
Hearing Meng Yuqing talking to him, the orc quickly came back to his senses and said, "Yes, but these small fruits are used to soak in water and are consumed slowly, so we don't bring many."
"It's okay. I'll send our people to your place to exchange them when the time comes." Meng Yuqing said.
"Okay." The orc replied.
After the two handed the ingredients they brought to each other, they sat in their seats and chatted casually.
Meng Yuqing was just greedy for a moment, not hungry. Xuan came purely to accompany him to eat, so the two of them didn't give much food, and the stall owner prepared it quickly.
Even after Meng Yuqing and Xuan left, the orc who hosted them had not yet come to his senses.
His partner walked over to him, patted him on the back, and asked, "What's wrong? You haven't been paying attention since a while ago."
The orc came back to his senses and looked at his partner, saying, "The person who just came seems to be from Qingshan City."
Yashou said calmly, "Isn't it normal for people from Qingshan City to come here? Apart from those powerful tribes, they are the only ones who often come here to eat."
"No, I just heard them discussing this little fruit of ours when I was delivering the bowls." The orc seemed to be recalling something, and after a while he said, "I didn't quite understand what the sub-beast said. He was talking about nourishing the liver and maintaining health. It sounded like he was saying that drinking water soaked in this little fruit is good for the body."
"Really?" The sub-beast asked, pulling the orc.
"Well, he also said that there are many older tribesmen in their city who want to exchange some of these small fruits with us. He also asked me how many we brought." said the orc.
Hearing the orc say this, the sub-beast crossed his fingers and whispered, "It would be great if Qingshan City really took a fancy to this little fruit from our tribe."
"Wait a minute. If they want, they should send someone to exchange it in the next few days." The orc patted the sub-beast's shoulder.
After Meng Yuqing and Xuan left the food area, they wandered around for a while and then headed towards the office.
The two of them just came out to the market to browse and had no preparation for purchasing, so they had to go to the market office to find Xia and ask him to arrange for the purchasing team to go and trade.
The two knocked on the office door, and the door was opened from the inside. Inside the office, Xia was sitting in front of the desk, looking at something.
Xuan bent down and picked up Xing who opened the door, and walked into the office.
Xia put down what he was holding and waved to the two of them, saying, "You've come at the perfect time. I was just about to tell you about the Dog Beastman Tribe."
Xuan threw Xing onto the animal skin rug on the side, then pulled Meng Yuqing to sit down.
Xia's expression was a little puzzled. "Fei told me that quite a few of them came, and most of them were sub-beasts."
"How many people know exactly?" Meng Yuqing asked.
"There are over a hundred orcs and over two hundred sub-beasts, including cubs. There are both young orcs and sub-beasts. They've settled on the grassland now." Xia propped up his chin and said, "How dare they bring so many sub-beasts from the northwest to the south?"
"We went to their stall today, and the leading dog-beastman said he wanted to talk to us after the market is over." Xuan told Xia in detail what happened when he met the dog-beastmen today.
After talking about the dog-beastmen, Meng Yuqing talked to Xia about wolfberries.
After finalizing the long-term wolfberry purchasing plan, Meng Yuqing and Xuan left.
Xing has been living with Xia in Qingshan Market for some time. At this age, young orcs need adult orcs to guide them and learn things.
When he grows up a little bit, Xia will send him to teach the orcs.
The one and a half day holiday passed quickly, and Xuan could only take Meng Yuqing back to Qingshan City.
People in the planting and breeding areas outside the city are still busy, and people in the city are also busy.
