Tu Ling looked for a while, got a rough idea of the prices, and didn't want to look at anything else.
"Alright, Shikichi, put me down."
Shiyi slowly bent his legs and squatted on the ground, carefully protecting Tu Ling.
Back in the cave, Tu Ling took out the barbecue grill and a cow.
Several male orcs sniffed the cow again and again in surprise. The cow did not have any rotten smell at all, as if it had just died.
Bai Qi: "Madam, this cow is well preserved! It doesn't have any smell at all."
Tu Ling was very proud in her heart, because she was cheating.
In her space, time will not flow with the outside world. Whatever you put in will remain the same when you take it out.
Yinhen had become immune to the female master's powerful power. He quietly pulled the cow aside, cut two large pieces of meat and a few ribs, and went to the beach to clean them.
The other orcs also found work and got busy.
Tu Ling went down the cave, took out the bamboo tubes, split them open, and laid them flat on the ground. She poured the high-concentration seawater she had collected earlier evenly into the bamboo tubes. According to Tu Ling's experience, after the water evaporated completely, what remained should be salt crystals, that is, coarse salt. If she wanted to obtain better quality fine salt, she could also add wood ash solution and quicklime solution to the coarse salt solution, and filter out the crystals. However, she did not have these things, so she had to make do with coarse salt. It was just coarse salt, and it would not kill people.
Looking at the bamboo tube that covered half of the hole, she originally wanted to put these outside the hole to dry, but she was afraid that others would steal them, so she chose to put them under the hole to dry. Anyway, the temperature was so high, it didn't matter where she put them.
After a while, Yinhen squatted at the entrance of the cave and called Tu Ling to eat.
The orc with silver hair and white eyes put his hand in front of Tu Ling against the moonlight. Tu Ling smiled at him, put his hand on his palm, and jumped out using the force.
While eating, Tu Ling suddenly said, "By the way, I dried some salt at the entrance of the cave. Be careful not to step on it when you go down."
"Huh? Where are you guys going?"
As soon as Tu Ling finished speaking, he saw the beastmen who were feasting on their food suddenly throw away their chopsticks and lie down at the entrance of the cave. Their bodies were still outside, but their heads were completely inside the cave to see the salt Tu Ling had dried.
Bai Qi: "Wow, so this is what salt crystals used to look like. What kind of water is this? Is it salt crystal water?"
Shiki knew what it was. "God damn salt crystal water." He lay on the ground, his eyes proudly scanning the faces of the orcs. "This is sea water. The female master only told me today."
He added, "I boiled this sea water myself, so the fresh water you drink also has my share."
"So, you can now make fresh water and salt crystals?" Zi Ye's back teeth were about to break. Why was there such a huge gap between the males in a camp without his knowledge?
"certainly!"
Zi Ye looked at Shi Yi with resentment, then stood up and went to find Tu Ling: "Madam, Shi Yi said that you only taught him how to make salt and fresh water, and you won't teach us."
Shiki's face darkened: "That's not what I said!"
Tu Ling chewed some meat and spoke unclearly: "Why do you want to learn?"
"Yeah." Zi Ye looked at Tu Ling expectantly.
"We want to too!" Bai Qi spoke actively.
"Then let Shiki teach you, he knows how to do it."
"Okay!"
Zi Ye put his arm around Shi Yi's shoulder and said, "Shi Yi, teach us well tomorrow."
"And me!" Bai Qi spoke actively again.
"Get out, why are you everywhere?" Shiyi was extremely unhappy.
As dinner was almost over, Ye Li noticed something was amiss around him: "Tu Ling, do you feel that those orcs are approaching us?"
Tu Ling had discovered it a long time ago, but didn't take it seriously. He would know what they wanted to do soon.
"What are you eating?"
The orc who was speaking was about 1.9 meters tall, wearing tiger-striped animal skin, with strange tentacles on his forehead. It was impossible to tell his race, and there were many strange orcs hiding behind him.
"Are you talking to our female master?" Shiyi looked at the unfamiliar face of the orc and confirmed that he was not from their tribe. Why are the males from other tribes so rude now?
The orc also realized his mistake and knelt on one knee, crossing his right hand over his left chest and saluted: "Greetings, great lord."
Tu Ling then looked up at him and said, "Well, what can I do for you?"
The orc stood up and said, "I'm from the Central and Southern Tribe, a member of the Butterfly Tribe. My name is Hu Fei, and I haven't joined the camp yet."
Zi Ye was originally just watching the show at ease, but upon hearing his words, he immediately went into battle mode: "You don't want to join our female master's camp, do you?"
"Oh, no, no. I already have a faction I like, but I haven't had the chance to join it yet."
After the orc finished speaking, he looked at the herd and breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one was unhappy.
"Then what are you doing? There are so many people gathered here."
"We were originally bartering with the merpeople when we suddenly smelled an enticing aroma. Not only did we smell it, but the merpeople did too. They asked us what we were eating, and they said they were willing to trade us for more salt crystals and fresh water." The orc took a look at the sizzling barbecue and swallowed. "Then we followed the aroma and found this place. We wanted to ask what you were eating so we could exchange it with the merpeople."
Tu Ling didn't want to waste any more words explaining this thing, as it would take a lot of words to explain it: "Bai Qi, tell him."
Bai Qi threw the rabbit ears behind his head: "This is a delicacy unique to our camp: barbecue!"
"Barbecue? Never heard of it."
"Of course, our mistress took so much effort to make this. It's delicious and juicy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Most importantly, it's parasite-free!" Bai Qi became more and more excited and proud as he spoke. At the climax of his speech, he was so moved that he knelt down in front of Tu Ling: "Mistress, you are so amazing! I want to be your big rabbit for life!"
Tu Ling: .....How embarrassing.
The butterfly beastman was so tempted by his description that his mouth was watering, but when he heard about the parasite, he was stunned: "What is a parasite?"
"It's a very disgusting and dangerous thing. It hides in raw meat and waits for you to eat it. Then it lives inside your body. When it grows up, it will give birth to babies inside you."
"Enough!" Tu Ling felt like she was going to vomit. How could she not know that Bai Qi was so good at languages? "We're eating, stop talking."
Bai Qio snorted and said succinctly, "Anyway, barbecue is good for your health, and it tastes amazing."
"Can I trade a little with you guys? I have prey."
Tu Ling: "You don't want prey, you want crystals. Just one crystal can be exchanged with me."
Upon hearing the request, the orcs immediately responded: "Is this okay?"
Tu Ling looked over and saw that it was a female.
The female came over, surrounded by the males in her camp, and showed a red crystal to Tu Ling: "I know you, you are the Tu Ling of our tribe, right?"
