Wente bought eggs just for the sake of formality. She didn't plan to make money here, and there was no point in making money. It was just to develop everyone's trading and monetary awareness. But her family's genes were too good, so even if she didn't want to make money, she could still earn the same income as an ordinary orc family would earn in more than ten years in a year.
The previous public ownership system was changed to private ownership. Households had to pay taxes to the city based on the number of people in their family, either in the form of meat or currency. After paying the taxes, whatever was left was theirs.
This system has both advantages and disadvantages. The stronger the family, the richer it is, and the weaker ones can barely make ends meet. Even so, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Competition always exists, and you cannot blame others for your weakness.
And hunting is not the only option. Now with trading, even if you just go out to cut grass for a day, you can get food to fill your stomach. For example, Shu Yue's family collects grass and other plants all year round and is a major trader in the tribe.
Shu Yue's family has too much money. There is no bank here. Piles of silver coins are taking up space in the warehouse. They spend money very generously.
Everyone understands that Shu Xin is rich. There are so many people in the city, and people give money to others every day (for medical treatment). But other people really don’t understand why Shu Yue’s family is so rich. Could it be that Shu Xin is spending money on her sister?
That's probably it. Wente is great, but he never sells anything, and I've never seen him take money. But everyone knows that the two of them spend money lavishly. We can only envy Shu Yue for having a good sister.
The single-minded orcs only knew that they exchanged their labor for money, and then used the money to exchange for eggs and chicken. This was a fair transaction, but they didn't know that the difference in price was enough for Shu Yue to make.
I’m still not good at math and can’t do the math.

After visiting friends, it was getting late, so we went back to have the New Year’s Eve dinner.
In fact, you can eat at any time of the day, but the Shu Yue sisters think that eating at night is more interesting.
Shu Yue and the others did it out of habit, while the other orcs imitated them and subconsciously thought that it was correct to eat at night.
On New Year's Eve, Warrior City was ablaze with lights, and small night pearls of various colors were hung in every household. These things were really worthless.
No one would pick up the small ones if they were thrown on the ground, and there were fewer large ones. Only the Warriors City management had the extra-large ones.
For example, Shu Yue’s family has three extra-large white night pearls. The combined brightness of the three is almost the same as that of modern white lamps. They are hung on the wall in the yard and are very bright.
Barron exclaimed in admiration, "Yueyue's night pearls are so bright. I'll go to the next trade fair to exchange for a few more." He also has big ones at home, but they are not of this color. Now it seems that this color is more pleasing to the eyes.
Lan Hua laughed when she heard that, "Forget it, Barron. I went around the trade fair twice last time and couldn't find anything of this color. Shu Yue was lucky enough to have her exchanged for it."
Shu Yue chuckled, "Water beastmen like to eat all kinds of eggs. I have eggs readily available at home. Next time, if grandma wants to eat eggs, tell me and I'll prepare eggs for you."
"It's settled then. We won't charge you money then, okay?" Baron joked.
Shu Yue twitched her lips. "Uncle, you're talking as if you've paid for the eggs before!"
Wen Te thought to himself: He never gave it to me once, and every time I came, I put it on his account. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
