Chapter 88 Market



Rong Lin and the other two behind him also showed surprised expressions. The three herbs discovered by Meng Yuqing before were already very useful to the tribe. Now he has discovered two more, and he also said that they are very useful. They must be very good herbs.

"We will tell the father about this white-spotted beast when he comes back." Xuan walked over. He had turned into a human form, dragging four animal skin bags.

"Okay, then you guys take a good rest first, and we'll continue to go to the vegetable garden." Qiu Ye said, and suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Meng Yuqing.

"The hemostatic grass has started to produce seeds. The first one to grow has stopped producing new ones. Some of the seeds have also changed color. We don't know what to do so we haven't touched them."

They didn't dare to touch these herbs casually. Now everyone in the tribe can use this kind of grass, but they don't know how to grow it.

"Okay, I understand. I will deal with the hemostatic grass issue when the time comes." Meng Yuqing nodded and said.

After Qiu Ye took Rong Lin and the others away, Meng Yuqing took out two clay pots from the house. He walked under a tree and started digging soil and putting it into the pots.

Xuan didn't know what he wanted to do, so he just followed him and helped him dig when he saw him digging.

When the pot was about five centimeters away from the edge, Meng Yuqing stopped adding soil, raised his head and looked around, then took out a yellow and white flower and a bunch of sedge from the space warehouse and carefully buried them in the pot.

"You want to grow it in a pot?" Xuan said, looking at the two flower pots in front of him that were planted with herbs.

"Put them here for now. When the tribe leader returns, show them to him, and then show them to the rest of the tribe." Meng Yuqing explained as he buried the soil. "These two herbs are even rarer. We've only just discovered them once in such a long time. Our tribe must grow them ourselves to ensure a stable supply."

During the twenty days or so he was away, Meng Yuqing dug up a lot of hemostatic herbs, blood-producing herbs, and blackthorn herbs, all of which he brought back intact.

The purpose is to expand my own small medicinal garden.

The ones brought back by other people in the tribe were basically picked directly with the roots left. They may grow again next year, but they may not grow again due to unexpected circumstances.

It is safer to grow your own.

After burying the tendon grass and yellow and white flowers, he stood up and patted the dirt off his body. "My small vegetable plot is almost full with these potatoes and sweet potatoes. I want to open another piece of land to plant radishes."

"That's no problem. When do you plan to plant? I'll go and help you circle out a piece of land." Xuan agreed quickly.

"Just for the next two days. After this batch of food is ready to harvest, I'll see if I can plant another wave." Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan and explained his plan. "If we catch up with the second wave, we'll need a larger area, and the workload will be much greater. It would be best if the tribe set aside a piece of land and let Ronglin and the other two teach the tribe how to plant."

"Okay, I understand." Xuan nodded in agreement.

It was already afternoon when the two came back. By the time they packed up their things and arranged things, it was already getting dark.

The soup that Meng Yuqing had cooked in the clay pot was almost done. Xuan was in charge of grilling the meat. Meng Yuqing looked at the food in front of him and sighed in his heart. When would he be able to find some chili peppers? He wanted to eat stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

As for trading energy for chili peppers? You can, but you don't have to.

After seeing off Ronglin and the other two, Qiuye came over and Meng Yuqing invited him to eat together.

After the three of them finished dinner together, Meng Yuqing carried the flowerpot with herbs, Xuan carried the white-spotted beast, and Qiu Ye carried the food, and they walked towards Qiu Ye's house together.

When I arrived at Qiuye's house, Xia had already returned and was sitting at the door with his face propped up.

Qiuye immediately walked over and handed the food to Xia.

"This soup is made by Yuqing and it's delicious. Would you like to try it?"

After Xia took the ceramic bowl and took a sip, he smiled gently at Meng Yuqing and said, "It's delicious. Thank you."

Xia ate very quickly and finished the food they brought with him in a short while. He looked at Xuan and Meng Yuqing and said, "Come in. I have something to tell you."

Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan with some confusion and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"

"It's okay." Xuan's expression was calm.

After entering the house, Xia Zai built a fire to light up the room.

The four of them sat down around the fire.

Xia didn't say much and went straight to the point, "The market will be open in a while. Do you two want to go?" He asked the two of them, but his eyes were on Meng Yuqing.

Meng Yuqing was stunned and asked stupidly, "Can I go too? No, I mean, can sub-beasts go out together?"

His eyes lit up. The market was not close to here. He had thought that only orcs could go out.

"You can go, but there won't be many people going. Qiuye will also go." Xia turned his gaze to Qiuye.

Qiu Ye nodded and said, "Yes, I will go too. We are going to represent the tribe's sub-beasts to exchange for some nice animal skins." At this point, he covered his mouth and smiled, "They don't know how to choose nice animal skins."

Meng Yuqing understood. The sub-beasts thought that the animal skins selected by the orcs were not good-looking because the orcs all thought that their own animal shapes were the best-looking and they had no ability to distinguish the beauty or ugliness of animal skins.

Xia chuckled twice and continued, "Qiuye said you've been looking for plants that can be used to weave cloth but haven't found any. Maybe you can go to the market. There will be many tribes exchanging things there, and maybe you can find what you want."

After listening, Meng Yuqing nodded, "Okay, I understand. I will think about what else I need."

If some things can be found, there is no need to use energy to exchange for substitutes. After all, hemp is different from potatoes and sweet potatoes. Without hemp, the worst that can happen is that cloth cannot be woven. He can also look for cotton, or see if there is animal hair to replace wool. Without potatoes and sweet potatoes, people will starve in winter.

In this world, starvation in winter means death.

"That's all I have to say about this. What about you guys?" Xia Jian had already decided to go to the market, so he turned and asked about their trip.

I get excited when I talk about Meng Yuqing.

He brought over two flower pots like he was presenting a treasure, and pointed at the yellow and white flower and said, "This is called yellow and white flower. It can cure fever. Qiuye, didn't you say before that cubs are prone to fever and lethargy? This can cure it."

Upon hearing about the efficacy of the yellow and white flowers, Qiu Ye's eyes widened instantly, and he moved to Meng Yuqing's side and looked intently at the yellow and white flowers in the flowerpot.

"That means that all the cubs that get fever after catching a cold can be saved, right?" His voice trembled.

Every winter many cubs will have fever, some survive on their own but some cannot.

"How do I use this?" he asked anxiously.
