Chapter 168 Chili Peppers
Chapter 168 Chili Peppers
After getting what Liu Mingyue needed, Lin Liuyi unexpectedly received a message from Ming.
"What's wrong, Ming? Is there anything else you need?"
"No, it's not Children's Day. I'm here to tell you some good news. Look!"
Looking behind her, Lin Liuyi saw a large wheat field, or at least it looked like one. There was also rice growing next to the wheat field.
Huh? How come these two grow in the same season?
Looking closer, it looks like beans, and further away, it looks like sweet potato leaves.
"Wow, you guys found crops and even cultivated them yourselves!" Lin Liuyi exclaimed in surprise.
"That's not all, let me show you something else. These are our gugu chickens. We can collect a lot of gugu eggs every day now. I'll bring you some later."
You're saying that the huge egg Yuebao is holding is a chicken egg? It's about the same size as an ostrich egg here. But looking at the roosters and hens across from them that are the size of ostriches, it seems reasonable that they lay such big eggs.
"Look over here, these are bouncy rabbits. They love the grass that our tribe's little ones pick."
As Ming spoke, she showed Lin Liu to her sister feeding the rabbits.
In the video, a rabbit about half a person's height hopped towards Yuebao. Yuebao quickly offered her some grass, which the rabbit snatched and stuffed into its mouth.
Not satisfied with just eating, the rabbit kept asking Moon Baby for more. Moon Baby took out a handful of grass, but before she could hand it over, the rabbit tried to snatch it. Moon Baby slapped the rabbit back, and then another rabbit hopped over to eat.
So Lin Liuyi saw the amazing scene of a little tiger feeding a rabbit while fanning it. Well, now I know how you tamed these animals.
"Ahem, let's continue watching our Snoring Beast and Sheep Beast."
Good heavens, wild boars! Seeing that the Mingheyue tribe was feeding them pig feed and sweet potato leaves, Lin Liuyi nodded in agreement.
The other one is sheep. Looking at the wool on the other person's body, Lin Liuyi felt it was necessary to explain the yarn to him.
"Hey, you didn't find any cattle? How did you cultivate this land?" Lin Liuyi thought for a moment and realized that this was the only common animal they were missing.
"Horned beasts? Horned beasts don't live around our tribe. When we go to the tribal trade fair in a few days, we'll pass through a plain where the horned beasts are. Clearing land isn't that difficult; my tribesmen are enough." Ming began to consider Lin Liuyi's suggestion. It seemed necessary to change the route when participating in the tribal trade fair.
Upon hearing Ming's words, Lin Liuyi found it hard to imagine a group of white tigers pulling plows and harrows to cultivate the land. If this were to happen here, it would break the hearts of those experts.
"The Tribal Trade Fair? Is it something that many tribes from your area participate in? When you go, could you do a live stream so I can watch it too?"
"Sure, no problem. I'll call you when it's time." Ming readily agreed.
She was very grateful to Lin Liuyi. If it weren't for meeting her, their tribe would have lost many more members during this cold season. Instead, not only did no one die, but because everyone stayed in the warm caves during the cold season, many of the females in the tribe had gotten pregnant.
Moreover, with these planted crops and domesticated animals, the tribe is not afraid of not being able to raise the young.
Soon, the trade fair arrived, and Ming was still the team leader. As in previous years, they followed the same route.
However, they were very happy on this journey. With new seasonings and a change in cooking methods, they ate to their hearts' content along the way, and even the tribe's warriors became more attentive to their hunting.
They even brought some of their prey, offering it as a reward to try and grill the meat on the spot, hoping to exchange it for something else.
As they approached the venue of the trade fair, they heard a commotion.
At the trading grounds, each tribe occupied a piece of land.
Some tribes brought freshly picked exotic fruits, some displayed homemade pottery, and others led tamed small wild animals.
The warriors of the White Tiger tribe carried their goods and strode into the venue.
Their strong physiques and unique animal markings attracted a lot of attention.
Ming found the place that the White Tiger Clan used to occupy, but to his surprise, there was another tribe there. The White Tiger Clan members glared at him, and the small tribe immediately packed up their things and left.
After all, the White Tiger Clan is considered a powerful tribe on the Beastman Continent, and they are not to be trifled with.
Ming led his people to display the furs and bone ornaments commonly seen at the trade fair, as well as the salt and sugar they had obtained from Lin Liuyi, along with some quail eggs and sweet potatoes. Finally, of course, they began to roast the meat.
"I'll do it!" A tiger warrior immediately jumped out, and of course, no one objected, since this guy was the best at grilling.
The overwhelming aroma immediately attracted the people at the trade fair, and soon people from other tribes gathered around.
After handing the stall over to the other members of the tribe, Ming took Lin Liuyi out for a stroll.
"Wow, what's that huge tooth?"
"It looks like a long-nosed beast tooth. It's not worth much. If you want it, just buy it." Ming went up and bought it. She wasn't wrong. There were plenty of these things in the territory of long-nosed beasts. It was just an ornament.
Lin Liuyi was still wondering if the long-nosed beast was a mammoth when she saw that Ming had already bought the ivory. Well then, she happily accepted it.
"Wait, go back. There's a bowl of something in front of that tribe that looks like chili peppers. Go take a look."
Ming followed the instructions and walked to the small village, picked up the potted object and examined it closely.
"That's right, it's chili peppers! Buy them quickly!" Lin Liuyi was extremely excited on the other end of the video call.
Looking at the trembling orc tribe in front of him, he asked, "How do we exchange this one?"
The small tribespeople, barely daring to breathe, said they wanted to exchange it for some salt. "Just a little bit is enough!" they gestured frantically, afraid that Ming might smash their stall at the slightest provocation.
"No problem, I'll take all the ones your tribe has and send them to the White Tiger Clan!"
"Sir! Are you serious? We have plenty in our tribe! We'll send them over right away!" The people of the small tribe were overjoyed. They had been selling this stuff for a long time, and some orc tribes had eaten it, but they would get stomach aches after eating it, and some would even come back and smash their stalls. But they were fine after eating it.
They wanted to sell other things, but unfortunately, this stuff grew all around their village.
"Sir, this might cause a stomachache if you eat it, so you should drink more water. But it's fine for our tribe to eat it; it's not poisonous."
The people from the small tribe thought about it and decided to remind Ming.
