Chapter 165 Sibling Love
In front of so many people, He Qianqian took the meteorite and handed it to Chen Sheng:
"Uncle Chen, please help Ah Li collect it first and give it to her when we get back."
Although Zhuan Sheng didn't quite understand it, he still took it and put it in his own space.
Ming Gongli looked at He Qianqian, then at Jia Lan, and also indicated that she didn't understand.
But she believed that Qianqian was a person with her own ideas and must have her own reasons.
They continued to walk deeper into the market, and Jia Lan followed silently at the end of the team.
He looked up from time to time and looked at Ming Gongli's figure.
The tension in his heart eased a little, he breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly felt lucky that he was not chased away.
In the afternoon, the market was still crowded and bustling.
At this time, there is less than a month left before the first heavy snow.
The purpose of the orcs coming to the market is to store supplies for nearly half a year.
Supplies are purchased in large bags, a lot at one time, and sometimes we even bring some for neighbors and tribesmen.
The market in the City of Beasts is the largest market in the East Continent.
Not only are there dedicated warriors to maintain order, but the market also has a good reputation for fair trade, and there are rarely reports of bullying of weaker tribes.
Even orcs who live far away from here are willing to gather their teams and come to the market to make a big purchase at the end of the dry season every year, that is, before the heavy snow falls.
This is why Jianwei did not kill all the Gu Diao.
If you want to establish a reputation for fairness and honesty, you must not give others the impression of being cruel and tyrannical.
Before I knew it, I had reached the innermost part and the stall of the Wing Tiger Clan.
Although it is located in the innermost and worst area, it is the most lively place.
It was even busier than the fox tribe’s stall just now.
People don't mind having to walk a long way to get to the innermost part. Whenever they come, they always want to see what the Yihu family is selling.
Compared to other stalls, the supplies here are of better quality and larger in quantity.
Even if a medium-sized tribe of several thousand people needs to buy a lot of supplies each time, the stalls here can basically buy everything at once.
Ming Gongli stood on tiptoe and looked at the situation inside the stall curiously.
The stall is very large, connected to ten large bamboo sheds.
There were all kinds of supplies on display, including salt grains, furs of various colors, ready-made clothes, hats, boots, animal skin bags, and various meats, braised meat, salted meat, and bacon.
Upon closer inspection, there was actually the first batch of supplies brought from Cuiluan Mountain and the Golden Cat Tribe.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Zhuan Sheng pushed through the crowd and protected the two females as they entered the innermost part of the stall.
Ming Gongli saw the familiar rice, wheat flour, corn and other supplies, and asked curiously:
"Uncle Chen, there aren't that many of these supplies, why haven't they been sold out yet?
Is it hard to sell?”
Zhu Sheng laughed loudly and said proudly, "On the contrary, it's because it sells so well.
Because the quantity is small and we are afraid that some guy will buy them all at once, the quantity is limited per person.
Every orc can only buy a small stone pot of rice or noodles every day."
"Oh, where is enough to eat?"
"Just feed the cubs or the females a few times, there will still be enough to eat."
Zhu Sheng said with expectation:
"Now we just have to wait for the Snowy Owl transport team. They should be able to return in a few days.
When the time comes, bring more food. In addition to keeping some for yourself, you can sell the rest here.
If there is no limit on the quantity now, it will be sold out quickly.”
Ming Gongli said: "No wonder. This idea must have come from an elder who knows the market well, right?"
Chen Sheng said, "Yes. The market has been open for many years, so he must have some experience."
He Qianqian was secretly proud of herself. The idea of limiting the quantity per person was one that Jianze came up with himself.
He knew that once the first batch of supplies arrived at the market, they would be snapped up.
But the main purpose of the first batch is to create momentum and spread the word.
However, ten days later, a team of hundreds of snowy owls will deliver a large amount of supplies, and more supplies will arrive every five days thereafter.
We will try to transport nearly half of the output from the Golden Cat and Cuiluan Valleys.
As soon as Zhuan Sheng appeared, the orcs at the stall immediately saluted and led them in.
Two females sat at the innermost table in the shed.
Someone immediately brought hot tea and food.
Zhu Sheng stood at the entrance of the stall, listening to the reports from his fellow tribesmen.
All you can see are buyers flocking to the store and queuing up to buy rice or noodles.
After buying, he patiently asked how to cook rice and noodles.
The method taught at the beginning was very simple, which was to cook thin rice and noodle paste.
When it is cooked, add some salt, or stir in a few bird eggs, or you can add nothing.
This way of eating is the least likely to waste food and is the most efficient way to digest and absorb.
Very suitable for weak females or half-grown cubs.
Ming Gongli had broadened her horizons today. She asked casually:
"Qianqian, why don't you let Golden Cat set up a special stall here, but let Snowy Owl do the selling?"
He Qianqian shook her head: "It's too far for the Golden Cat to come here.
Besides, if you want to do something, it’s best to do what you are best at.
For example, the Snowy Owls have been the best at finding supplies from all over the place and transporting them to the City of Beasts for exchange over the years.
Golden cats are good at farming, so they can focus on their advantages and grow more and better food.
In addition, if we focus on protecting the tribe well, we can ensure the prosperity and long-term development of the tribe."
After a pause, she continued, “Moreover, each tribe inside and outside the City of Beasts has its own sphere of influence, and there are also open and covert struggles.
These things are too complicated. Golden Cat is a guest here and it is difficult for him to understand and handle them well.
If the golden cat is not familiar with this place and steps in, it will cause disputes instead. "
Ming Gongli said: "I understand, then the mermaids and the fox tribe can also unite and set up a fixed stall, right?"
He Qianqian thought for a moment, then said, "At the moment, it would be most appropriate to unite them into one.
The fox tribe is currently protected by the winged tiger tribe, and the rift between mermaids and land orcs is not something that happened overnight.
The mermaid can hide behind the fox tribe and secretly sell the sea fish milk, isn't that great?"
Ming Gongli suddenly realized that Qianqian could always speak to her heart.
Qianqian is the most knowledgeable and wisest female she has ever met.
I can always learn something new when I am with her.
Ming Gongli lowered her voice and asked quietly:
"What was Qianqian thinking when she asked me to take Jialan's black iron meteorite?"
He Qianqian smiled mysteriously: "Ali, I just think Jialan likes you.
I want you two to try everything and develop an sister-brother relationship!
You see, it's not good to be depressed all the time. You are only 20 years old, which is the prime of your life. "
"Ah?" Ming Gongli was surprised:
"Should we get rid of him right away?
If he comes back with us tonight, my brother will break his legs.
There are also male mermaids who like me. As long as they get close to me, they will be secretly beaten by my brother soon. "
He Qianqian chuckled: "You're not stupid, are you? How did you know what your brother did behind your back?"
"How am I stupid? I'm such an easygoing female, yet no one in the tribe dares to talk to me.
I know what's going on as soon as I think about it?"
A'li was also depressed. She had no one to talk to except Qianqian and her brother.
