Chapter 73 Five Spirit Stones



"And Xiaoyue, she is thinner than other children of the same age, just skin and bones. Even so, she still thinks of Xiaorui and me when she has something delicious to eat. I want to free you from suffering. But if I only let you have enough food, the other orcs of the Black Bear Tribe will definitely resist, so I'll help them as well."

Jiang Li shrugged.

One person is a gang, a group is a gang. There is no difference.

Hearing the relaxed voice and lazy attitude, Hei Duo couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Who is she? How could she face all this so easily and fearlessly?

What role does she play in the bird tribe? Are all the beastmen in the bird tribe the same as her?

At this time, Heiduo's head was a mess of black lines.

I still can't figure out the reason.

But he would not take the initiative to ask Jiang Li, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

After spending the past few days together, he realized that Jiang Li did not have any bad intentions.

All the good things she had done for them were out in the open.

Even like him, he is helpful to the point of being "stupid".

Being like this, she made him willing to protect her.

By the time the two arrived at the Leopard Market, the scorching sun had already begun to set, leaving only the warm yellow dusk in the sky.

Hei Duo took Jiang Li to an empty seat.

"Xiao Li, you sell it here first. I'll deliver the straw mat to the owner first."

Heiduo already had a long-term buyer, and he would give the straw mat to the buyer every time he came here.

"Okay, go ahead." Jiang Li waved his hand and watched Hei Duo leave.

She put down the bamboo basket and took out the cloth and scale she had taken before leaving.

She spread the cloth on the ground and placed the fruits in the bamboo basket one by one.

After everything was arranged, a male leopard beastman came up with an eye for curiosity.

The man looked at Jiang Li's stall carefully, and his eyes immediately fixed on the crabapples.

"What is this?" He had never seen it before.

Jiang Li followed his line of sight and introduced it with a smile, "This is called crabapple fruit. The fruit is sour and sweet, and very delicious."

"Really?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Li in confusion.

There was distrust in his eyes.

Jiang Li pursed her lips without explaining, but picked up a fruit and put it into the man's hand.

"If you don't believe me, try it. If it doesn't taste good, I won't pay you."

The man couldn't refuse the kindness. He looked at the crabapple in his hand and put it into his mouth suspiciously.

The next moment, his eyes widened in surprise.

"How is it?" Jiang Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the man with a smile.

The man nodded and praised, "It's delicious! Just as you said!"

Jiang Li rubbed his nose with a smile.

These fruit trees have used up all their nutrients, so how could the fruits they produce be bad?

The man's voice was strong and clear, and this compliment attracted all the orcs nearby.

"What kind of fruit is this? Is it really that delicious?"

"Oh, these fruits look brighter than those in other stalls."

"Yeah, never seen it."

Jiang Li took out a dagger and cut apples, pears and other fruits into several pieces for the orcs to taste.

After tasting the food, all the orcs gave a thumbs-up without exception.

"How do you sell this fruit?"

There were a lot of chattering going on all around.

Fortunately, before coming here, Jiang Li asked about the prices of fruits sold at other stalls in Heiduo in advance.

Hei Duo said, "Generally, the price of fruit is three spirit stones per pound, but the fruit is small and not fresh. Fruits of our quality can be sold for four or five spirit stones."

Jiang Li rolled his eyes and slowly extended five fingers towards the orcs.

"Five spirit stones per pound."

When the orcs heard this, their eyes widened and they sighed.

"Five spirit stones per pound? Isn't that too expensive?"

"Yes, yes, it's almost as expensive as meat."

"But speaking of it, her fruit is indeed delicious..."

The orcs were all in a dilemma. They kept swallowing their saliva as they looked at the fruits on display, and were hesitating whether to buy any.

Just as they were hesitating, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I want fruit! The crabapple fruit! Two pounds of it!"

"Okay!"

Jiang Li quickly picked up the scale and weighed two kilograms of crabapples.

Fortunately, she had used this old-fashioned scale before, otherwise it would have been very difficult.

The shout just now also broke the hesitation of the orcs. They gritted their teeth and stamped their feet, took out their spirit stones, and shouted for Jiang Li to weigh them.

Jiang Li happily took the spirit stones and weighed the fruits one by one, busy to the point of being dizzy.

When Heiduo came back, he saw Jiang Li sitting on the ground, happily biting the apple in his hand.

"Heiduo, you're back?"

Heiduo stretched his head and looked at the fruit in the bamboo basket, but there was none left.

"Where is the fruit?" He retracted his gaze and looked at the half apple in Jiang Li's hand.

I thought to myself: Could it be that she ate all of it?

Although he felt it was a little impossible, when he thought about Jiang Li's eating speed and appetite, he suddenly felt that it was not surprising that she had finished eating.

Hei Duo pursed his lips, and just when he was about to say this, Jiang Li spoke first.

“The fruit has been sold out.”

She even took out her purse to prove it.

When Hei Duo saw the bulging money bag, his eyes widened in shock and he didn't know what to say.

Jiang Li stood up and brushed the dust off his butt.

Walking up to Hei Duo, he looked at his wide eyes with a smile, "What's wrong? Don't you believe in my strength?"

Heiduo reacted slightly and nodded, then quickly shook his head.

"It's just incredible that you sold out the entire basket of fruit in such a short time."

"That's right. Don't you see who I am? I'm very powerful." Jiang Li stroked his hair with his other hand, his tone very narcissistic.

Seeing her like this, Hei Duo's eyebrows couldn't help but curved.

He has always known that Jiang Li is very strong.

But this time, it once again refreshed his impression of her.

"I sold them at five spirit stones per pound, and I made quite a bit of money. Let's go buy some meat. We'll have to pick more fruits after we get home. Many people haven't gotten any yet, and have reserved some for tomorrow."

At this moment, Hei Duo was so shocked that he was speechless.

“So many people buy it?”

"Of course, the fruits we grow are big and good, and they can't help but buy more after they finish eating them!"

Jiang Li bent down and was about to carry the bamboo basket.

A pair of big hands snatched the bamboo basket from her hands.

"Let me carry it."

Jiang Li didn't bother to be polite and let go of his hand.

"Let's go see what kind of meat we can buy, Heiduo. Is there anything you want to eat?"

"I can do anything."

"How about buying some lamb chops and fish? Xiaoyue likes lamb, Xiaojie and Xiaogui like fish..."
