Chapter 161 Going to the Market to Sell Specialties
Following the mermaid and the fox spirit team going to the market, they walked along the road and arrived at the gate of the City of Beasts at noon.
The whole city is divided into inner and outer cities.
At the outermost part of the outer city, there is a ten-meter-high wall that surrounds the entire city, with only a few gates for entry and exit.
It has complementary similarities with the layout of ancient city gates.
In the outer city, there live tens of thousands of orcs from all kinds of beasts.
The inner city, which is located on the highest mountain, is home to the Jian family, the Snow Owl family, as well as the elders and important decision-makers.
The last time He Qianqian came, she flew directly from the sky and landed on the highest mountain.
There were some brave warriors guarding the city gate. When they saw Chen Sheng, they immediately saluted respectfully and then quickly let him pass.
Several other warriors, with their fox tribe team, came directly to the market.
Take them to an empty exchange site.
This is the most conspicuous location, has the most traffic, and is large enough.
There are several ready-made stone pots and earthen stoves on the site.
Hu Ling and Ming Gong Yao smiled with satisfaction when they saw the place to cook.
"This is the best venue specially reserved for you by City Lord Jian." A warrior said to Hu Ling.
"Thank you for your hard work, little brother." Hu Ling stuffed a bag of beef jerky into his hand. It was wrapped in clean banana leaves and looked very elegant.
The young warrior who was running errands put it to his nose and sniffed it. He immediately showed an intoxicated expression and said more attentively:
"The market will be here soon. Hurry up and take out the goods you want to exchange. We can help you put them in order.
It will be displayed in an eye-catching and beautiful way, and can be exchanged for more crystal cores."
Hu Ling and Ming Gong Yao were okay at fighting, but it was their first time to go to the market to buy and sell goods. They really didn't understand the twists and turns of the market.
Several males from the City of Beasts helped to arrange the supplies according to their own understanding.
They also saw yogurt, cheese, fish emulsion, various dried fruits, unusual sea fish and honey, and unfamiliar soaps for the first time.
While working, I curiously asked what those things were.
Ming Gong Yao simply gave them a little of each so that they could help spread the word.
The orcs who came to the market stared with their eyes wide open. Their most acute sense was still their sense of smell.
The aroma of milk, the sweet and rich taste of honey, and the aroma of dried fruits immediately drifted in the wind.
In a moment, many orcs gathered around.
When I asked out of curiosity, everyone's first reaction was that it was too expensive. Because they didn't know if it tasted good or was easy to use, they just waited and saw.
The most important thing is that I don’t know whether it is worth it or not. No one wants to be a sucker or the first one to try something new.
Otherwise, if a big joke is made, it will not only be a joke of their own tribe, but will spread throughout the city of tens of thousands of beasts and will have an impact on the reputation of the beasts.
He Qianqian and the other two did not rush to visit the market, but secretly hid at the back of the line and observed secretly.
I wonder if these good things that I worked so hard to get will be liked by the public.
Seeing that the orcs only looked but did not buy, he also became secretly anxious.
He Qianqian said disdainfully: "Look at your brother, he looks like a wooden fish?
Those beastmen were drooling with greed, but your brother didn't even think of letting them try some."
Ming Gongyao didn't understand the ins and outs of the market, so she asked, "What is a food tasting?"
"Just let everyone try it first, and then buy it if they think it's delicious."
"So many mouths to feed, what will we do if we finish them all? It took a lot of work to make these things."
"Look at me." She walked straight to the front.
I whispered a few words to Ming Gong Yao.
Ming Gongyao understood immediately, and summoned up the courage to speak loudly:
“Everyone, the spirit foxes and the mermaids have already formed an alliance, and from now on, the mermaids will live in harmony with the land orcs.
Today is the first time the mermaid comes to the market, and to make it more lively, we arranged a food tasting for everyone."
The beastmen didn't know what food tasting meant, so they all looked at him curiously.
Ming Gong Yao took out a lot of small leaves and placed them on the stone table.
Pour the thick yogurt over the clean leaves, a small portion on each leaf.
When everyone saw this, they immediately became confused.
Everyone rushed to try it and sample it. They thought it would be a waste not to try it. There was such a good thing!
Hu Ling hurriedly shouted to maintain order: "Everyone, please line up, line up quickly. Otherwise, it will be easy to knock down the stalls."
In order to get the delicious food, everyone lined up consciously, and the line became longer and longer.
More orcs in the market stopped and gathered around curiously, wanting to know what kind of delicious food could have caused so many people to line up.
Ming Gong Yao handed out portions of yogurt to the orcs in line.
“Delicious, sweet and sour.”
"It smells good, even sweeter than the mother's milk my cubs drink."
It only takes two bites to finish. After finishing, I still feel unsatisfied and continue to lick the leaves.
Some orcs also questioned: "What's the point of eating such delicate food for a big rough guy like me? Although it tastes good, it requires a lot of meat to exchange for it. I can't bear to part with it."
Most of those present were hardworking and thrifty heads of the family.
If you are good at budgeting, you may get beaten up if you buy something useless.
What it means is: Although the food tastes good, a coarse cow cannot chew fine bran.
At this time, Hu Ling immediately stepped forward and said loudly:
"Yogurt is for females and half-grown cubs. Although it's a bit more expensive, it's much easier to get than the mother's milk.
Yogurt is good for the health of cubs and females. They will be less likely to get sick during heavy snow and grow stronger."
After he said this, everyone quieted down and pondered in their hearts. The adults could eat less meat, but they could not lose the milk of the cubs.
Just then, a few females came over and He Qianqian immediately called them over.
Females do not come to the market alone; they are accompanied by males.
The females found it fresh, the thick white yogurt was covered with a layer of colorful fruits, and it smelled sweet and delicious. After tasting the yogurt, they immediately shouted that it was delicious, and then asked the male next to them to buy some for them.
Pairs of big eyes watched them use crystal cores to buy large cans of yogurt.
A can of yogurt requires 100 low-level crystal cores.
Those who complained it was expensive just now will never say it is expensive again.
If you give this precious yogurt to your beloved female and it can win her favor, it would be the most cost-effective thing.
The queue that was originally for tasting soon turned into a queue for buying yogurt.
Soon, the yogurt was sold out.
Ming Gongli looked around curiously and asked He Qianqian: "Why doesn't my brother recommend cheese? Wouldn't it be better to promote it together?"
"Cheese is dry and hard. It doesn't taste good when you eat it cold. Look, your brother is setting up the pot and burning wood. Do you understand?"
"I see. My brother was going to heat up the cheese and give it to them to taste."
The melted cheese exudes a richer, caramelized, milky flavor.
Paired with prepared mashed potatoes, it's simply divine.
It is divided into small portions and placed on clean green leaves. Please try it.
Potatoes have actually spread throughout the City of Beasts.
Jianze and Qingyu always bring some Golden Cat specialties every time they go back to the City of Beasts. Good food spreads quickly.
This time, the orcs who accepted mashed potatoes were also more likely to accept cheese.
The two sides of the exchange had further trust in each other, and many people from the mermaid and fox tribe came forward to recommend honey, fish emulsion, and sea fish one by one, and told them how to cook them and let them try them.
The few guards who followed to the city gate were all acquaintances of the orcs in the city, and they also helped shouting on the side.
Seeing everyone's enthusiasm for cheese and yogurt, Ming Gong Yao clapped happily and laughed.
At this time, a male mixed in the crowd had noticed Ming Gongli.
He looked at her without blinking.
He Qianqian felt a different look in her eyes and turned back suddenly, but saw nothing.
