Shen Miao didn't forget the little fox cub either, and served him a bowl of blood tofu.
"What is this?" Qingchen asked in surprise.
This looks like blood, but blood isn't like this. Clearly, Shen Miao used some method to make it into these square blocks.
One bite revealed a remarkably delicate texture, offering a unique flavor compared to the meats he was used to.
In the past, they would simply drain the blood from their prey after hunting, never imagining that they could eat it this way.
From this perspective, it's clear how much delicious food they wasted.
Shen Miao smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Even Qingchen's usually cold face showed a hint of excitement, but he controlled it well. After taking a bite, he ate several more pieces before stopping.
He said with a touch of reserve, "Very good."
Shen Miao's smile widened: "This is called blood tofu, and it's made with pheasant blood."
Qingchen seemed to be deep in thought: "Is it difficult?"
Knowing that Qingchen was asking if blood tofu was difficult to make, Shen Miao shook her head: "It's quite simple."
It's really simple; all you need is to know how it's done and have the raw materials.
Qingchen wiped his mouth and looked at Shen Miao, "What are your plans regarding this blood tofu?"
"Huh?" Shen Miao asked in confusion. What plan? She hadn't thought about it. She just wanted to make a delicious meal for the children.
Qingchen shook his head: "It would be a waste if we just ate such good stuff ourselves. You can use it to exchange for what you want."
Shen Miao thought for a moment and said, "You mean use it for business?"
"Do business?" Qingchen was taken aback.
Shen Miaocai then realized that the concept of doing business didn't exist in this world, so she explained, "It's what you mean by exchanging things."
Qingchen didn't pursue the unfamiliar word she used. He suggested that whether Shen Miao was willing to do it was her own business, since even the simplest things are difficult to mass-produce.
Shen Miao decided to give it a try.
She spread the word in the tribe that they could exchange things for blood tofu. The beastmen didn't know what it was, so Shen Miao specially cooked a bowl and placed it next to them for them to try.
The orcs initially didn't take it seriously. They were used to eating meat and thought that only meat was the most delicious food. But when they suddenly tasted the blood tofu, they were stunned.
This tastes different from meat, and the texture is so good that you want to keep eating it after you've just started eating it.
Shen Miao smiled and said, "If you want to eat blood tofu, you can bring something to exchange for it. There's not much, so it's first come, first served."
Upon hearing that the quantity was limited, everyone immediately abandoned their previous hesitation and rushed forward.
This one costs one yuan, that one costs several yuan, and in no time they were all sold out. Those who didn't get one were a little disappointed and asked Chen Miao when they could exchange it again.
Shen Miao never expected that her first business venture would be so successful.
Some orcs suggested to her that since Shen Miao's blood tofu was selling so well, she could set up a stall in the beast farm and do long-term business, so she wouldn't have to worry about not having food at home.
Shen Miao had considered going to the beast farm. In fact, her next plan was to set up a stall there and sell blood tofu in the village. It was just a trial run. Now that she had received such encouraging feedback, it proved that her business was viable.
So the next time she made blood tofu, Shen Miao sold some in the village and took the rest to the animal farm.
This was Shen Miao's first time visiting the Beast Arena. According to the book, the Beast Arena was a place for orcs to trade, gathering orcs from several nearby tribes. The goods traded were very complete; basically, you could find anything you wanted here.
Along the way, Shen Miao witnessed the prosperity of this beast arena.
The items displayed here were truly beyond her expectations; there were even stones for trading. She looked at them for a long time but couldn't figure out what was special about them, except that their shapes were a bit strange.
Surprisingly, some people actually went up to ask the price, and the two sides even started bargaining back and forth.
Shen Miao found it very strange.
She found a stall in the animal market, displayed the blood tofu she had brought, and as usual, placed a bowl next to it for people to taste.
Because she arrived late, she occupied a spot towards the back, which was already at the end of the arena, and there were very few orcs coming to this area.
Shen Miao's business is a bit sluggish.
She wasn't in a hurry, leisurely looking around. Finally, an orc walked over, and Shen Miao greeted him with a smile, "Blood tofu, delicious blood tofu, would you like to try some, auntie? You definitely won't be disappointed."
The female beast who was being called over hadn't noticed Shen Miao's stall until she was called over. She finally looked over and asked in surprise, "What's this?"
"This is blood tofu I made myself, with salt added. Just heat it up when you get home, and it's delicious cooked with wild vegetables and meat," Shen Miao explained familiarly.
Upon hearing this, the aunt shook her head and said, "Our family only eats roasted meat, not boiled food."
"Eating too much barbecue can get boring. It's good to change things up. Boiled meat can be delicious too." Shen Miao maintained her smile.
The aunt didn't believe it, so Shen Miao let her try a bite, and the aunt immediately decided to make a deal with Shen Miao.
Upon hearing that someone actually said the boiled food was delicious, some orcs gradually gathered around, and were surprised again when they saw what Shen Miao was selling.
Seeing how readily the auntie made the deal with Shen Miao, they were also curious about the taste of the blood tofu.
After tasting it, they were just like the orcs in the tribe, and the delicious blood tofu was once again snatched up.
Shen Miao returned home with a full load. On her way back, she saw that Lü Zhu was also setting up a stall. She was trading animal hides, but perhaps because of their poor quality, no one was buying them.
Shen Miao glanced at it casually and paid it no further attention.
In the days that followed, Shen Miao's blood tofu became a craze in the beast arena and was very popular. Shen Miao traded it for many things she wanted.
Today, as usual, Shen Miao went to the beast field to set up her stall. As soon as she set up her stall, two beastmen came over with unfriendly expressions and kicked over Shen Miao's stall without saying a word. Then they said to the crowd, "Everyone, don't buy blood tofu from this place. There's something wrong with their stuff. We all got diarrhea after eating it. Look, I've gotten so thin from the diarrhea."
He showed off his dark arms to indicate that he had lost weight.
Upon hearing this, all the orcs couldn't help but feel worried.
Is there really a problem? Can we still buy her products?
Shen Miao was a little angry. She had only ever heard that when a business was doing well, some people would deliberately cause trouble, but she never expected that this kind of thing would happen to her.
Her stall had only been open for a few days.
If this matter isn't resolved, she can forget about selling blood tofu again.
Thinking of this, Shen Miao's expression turned solemn. She stared intently at the two orcs and asked, "I don't know why you have diarrhea, but I can vouch for the fact that there's nothing wrong with my family's blood tofu."
