Chapter 135 Big Sale
It's not winter yet, snow is falling everywhere, and there are hungry wandering orcs.
The forest is very easy to walk in the autumn. The leaves have fallen in many places, the view is very wide, and there are no wild animals attacking.
The journey that would have taken a month was compressed into twenty days.
Yunmengze is not as lively as it is in winter, but it is still bustling with people and business is booming.
This time they didn't need to camp outside, but walked directly into the market and chose a spacious place to set up camp.
Luo Bai took out the animal skin tent that he had prepared long ago, found some tree trunks, and quickly set up an animal skin tent.
Ying Yao: "Everyone, have a good rest tonight, take turns to keep watch, and get up early tomorrow!"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly felt relaxed.
After traveling all the way, they were already exhausted.
All the luggage was placed in a large tent, and orcs from both tribes were sent to guard it to ensure that there would be no problems.
Luo Bai took Qingshan and the others to hunt in the nearby forests. The prey in autumn were fat and strong, and they soon returned with a full load.
Mu Youran and Xiaomei counted all the pottery in the warehouse to check if there was any damaged one.
Otherwise, leaving it to tomorrow will waste time.
Xiaomei was very excited when she saw the huge pile of things.
"You Ran, if we sell these, we'll have money!"
"Well, let's buy some linen by the way."
Mu Youran was also counting on his fingers to calculate how much he could earn.
"You Ran, it's time to eat!"
Luo Bai came in with a large piece of meat and handed it to her.
Mu Youran took the barbecue and went out to eat with them around the fire.
Her mouth was full of the aroma of meat, and she was very hungry all the way, but she had to hurry on, so she had to endure the hunger.
Now that we have finally arrived at our destination, we must fill our stomachs well.
One bite and your mouth is filled with the aroma of meat, which is very satisfying.
The next morning, everyone got up early before dawn.
After washing up, she put on her best animal skin skirt. Mu Youran put on the pink animal skin skirt with pearl buttons made by Huang Yu herself.
They placed the pottery they brought on the ground in different categories. However, as soon as they put it out, orcs surrounded them.
He excitedly picked up a clay pot and examined it carefully. "Are you from the Sunset Tribe who came to sell pottery last year?"
Mu Youran, Ying Yao and Luo Bai looked at each other. That incident last year was quite a big deal. They didn't expect that they not only remembered it, but also came to ask about it so happily.
I guess I have a very good impression of their Sunset Tribe.
Mu Youran immediately smiled. "Yes, that's us. This is our new pottery. The workmanship is even better than before."
She didn't need to say anything, the orcs could see that the pottery was exquisitely made and had some beautiful lines on it.
"Still like last year, twenty seashells for each and a ceramic cup?"
He had heard from others last time that the pottery of the Sunset Tribe was not only very easy to use, but also very beautiful. It was very prestigious to put it in the home.
More importantly, it is very strong, unlike the ones from the Tao tribe, which will explode after burning for a short time.
It’s a pity that he missed it last time, but unexpectedly, he ran into it today.
It’s still the same color, but it’s made more rounded and beautiful.
Mu Youran smiled and shook her head, then took out the soap she had prepared nearby. "This soap is much more useful than the ceramic cup."
A huge pile of red pottery filled the ground, and soon it was surrounded by orcs who were looking at human brains.
When they heard that it was the Sunset Tribe that had defeated the Tao Tribe last year, they instantly became interested.
Looking at the white thing in her hand that was not even as big as her palm, I was very confused.
"What the hell is this thing? Is it better than a ceramic cup?"
The orc holding the clay pot took the thing from You Ran's hand, squeezed it curiously, and smelled it.
"It's a little soft and smells like grass. Is this for eating?"
As he was about to put it in his mouth to try, he was immediately stopped by Ying Yao who was standing next to him.
"Brother, this isn't for eating. It's for bathing, washing hands, face, and animal hides!"
When they heard that it was used for washing things, the orcs around showed expressions of disinterest.
Normally they can clean it with clean water and wood ash, so what's the use of this thing?
"It would be better to give a ceramic cup."
"That's right. If you still give us ceramic cups, we'll buy some back now."
"Yes, even if you don't want a ceramic cup, a ceramic bowl will be fine."
Mu Youran knew that no one had ever seen this soap, so naturally they didn't know its benefits.
Take out a dirty animal skin that you prepared last night.
"Look, this hide is so dirty, I can wash it back to its original color."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
"How is that possible? There are so many grease stains on it. It's dirty as a clot."
"Yes, it's impossible to clean a hide like this even with a large basket of ash."
Mu Youran: "Luobai, bring some water."
Luo Bai quickly brought up the two large basins of water that were prepared nearby.
Mu Youran threw the dirty animal skin into the basin to wet it, then applied soap on it. Soon, dense bubbles appeared, and the snow-white bubbles turned black in the blink of an eye.
After rubbing it back and forth like this, put it in water to wash it and take it out again.
Mu Youran raised the corner of his mouth: "Look, what do you think!"
"This, this animal skin is actually white!"
Everyone looked at the snow-white animal skin in Mu Youran's hand in surprise. It was dirty just now, but unexpectedly, it became as clean as new in the blink of an eye.
Someone curiously took the animal skin from her hand and examined it carefully.
“It’s real animal skin!”
He lowered his head and sniffed: "Hey, it smells pretty good!"
Upon hearing this, everyone took it and smelled it. Sure enough, it did not have any unpleasant smell, but instead had a light herbal fragrance.
You know, they usually wash with clean water, and there are very few soapberries. After all, there are too many people in Yunmengze, and soapberries are useful if you come across them, but useless if you don't.
Animal hides washed with clean water always have a greasy smell, and even if wood ash is added, it cannot be washed clean.
Sometimes the best animal skins can’t be worn for long before they have to be thrown away, which is really a pity.
"How do you sell this?"
Mu Youran smiled and stretched out a finger.
"One seashell is two dollars. If you buy enough pottery to cover twenty seashells, you'll get two for free."
As soon as we heard the quote, everyone's minds started spinning rapidly.
This purchase is quite cost-effective, you can buy two pieces for one seashell.
They saw it clearly just now. The female only applied a little bit of soap when washing the animal skin. It was such a big piece, so if she used it sparingly, it would last for at least a long time.
Four pieces can be used for a whole year, which saves a lot of animal skins.
What’s more, you can also take a shower and wash your hair, which is a great deal no matter how you look at it.
If you buy pottery, it would be more cost-effective to give it to you directly.
This thing is more economical than a ceramic cup. After all, that thing can be replaced by a bamboo cup, but there is no substitute for soap!
"I want two clay pots, and give me a large piece of soap!"
Then an orc spoke.
Mu Youran's face was full of smiles. The store was going to open so soon.
"Don't worry, our soaps are all the same size. There are no different sizes."
Luo Bai picked up four bars of soap and put them in the pot, then handed the items over, while Ying Yao was responsible for collecting the money.
Xiaomei manages the soap, Qingshan and others help with shipment, and the others are on guard duty. Everyone is in order.
Soon, in the blink of an eye, more than half of them were sold.
Xiaomei looked at the soap in front of her in amazement, as a corner of it was missing.
"The orcs in Yunmengze are so wealthy, they buy pottery in batches!"
"Unlike us, we can't even save enough to buy a piece of pottery in a year."
The last time she came here was the winter trade fair. There were so many people buying at that time, and she thought it was acceptable. After all, many orcs only come out once a year.
The seashells used to buy pottery must have been collected for a long time.
But it's different now.
Now they sell it in their spare time, and most of them are the indigenous residents living here.
Qingshan also sighed: "That's right, if I could earn so many seashells in a year, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."
Mu Youran dusted off his hands and said, "What's the big deal? They live in this world, so they're much more informed than us. Naturally, they know more ways to make money than us."
"You know, this is Yunmengze, a distribution center for many goods."
Ying Yao, Luo Bai and others have always known that Yunmengze is very prosperous, but they don’t know why it is so prosperous and what the basis is for it.
When I suddenly heard You Ran say this, I understood it instantly.
Ying Yao thought for a moment: "So, this place is so prosperous because orcs from all directions gather here."
Mu Youran nodded, but the prosperity of a city is not just due to its people. After all, to retain people, it depends on the reproductive capacity of this place.
Anyway, it can't be explained clearly in just a few words.
"You could say that."
After hearing this answer, Ying Yao's mind suddenly became clear.
So, although the Eagle Tribe has always been strong in combat, the reason why they often cannot even afford food and clothing is because they are not like the Sunset Tribe, who will accept other orcs?
If they were like the Sunset Tribe, not xenophobic and accepting orcs of all kinds, perhaps the life of their Eagle Tribe would be much better like that of the Sunset Tribe!
You no longer have to worry about the number of females, and you no longer have to come here and spend high prices to buy females.
"Hey, do you still have any pottery? I want them all!"
Suddenly, an orc with an eight-cornered beard and dressed in linen clothes came running over.
