Chapter 205 Soy Sauce Appears
Apart from soy sauce-like sauces, there is nothing on the market that Lu Xiaoxiao likes more.
They walked around and didn't see any provocative people, so they prepared to go back home after looking at the things and come back in a few days when there are more people.
"Xiaoxiao, do you want to change the one you just gave?" The tribe now makes salt from seawater, and they can get a lot of salt without much cost.
The exchange rate of salt in the market is also high, so their tribe can now "exchange for a lot of supplies just by lying down."
So, if Lu Xiaoxiao likes it, he can accept the price.
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about whether she needed to change the "soy sauce".
Compared to the mellow flavor of soy sauce, she felt that this sauce was much worse. It was tasteless and a pity to throw it away, but it was better than not having this seasoning. If the taste was better, she would pay for it directly.
So it's a bit confusing.
"Hmm..." While they were hesitating, Lu Xiaoxiao and Yuchuan were stopped by the male.
"I'll trade with you for that price." He said and glanced behind him.
Yuchuan glanced at the other person with a bit of helplessness on his face. He kept looking at the female behind him. He wanted to talk to her, but was ruthlessly rejected by her. It seemed that the female really wanted to exchange, but the male had no choice.
The male really had no choice. The female said that if she couldn't sell the product, she would ignore him.
Yuchuan looked at Lu Xiaoxiao again. The surprise on her face disappeared in an instant. She seemed to not understand why he was willing to suddenly lower the price.
But who cares? The other party has already given her a way out. She is also interested and it is okay to buy some to take away. Lu Xiaoxiao gestured to indicate one third of a can of salt, and he nodded in approval.
Lu Xiaoxiao immediately felt that the price was right and nodded, indicating that she agreed to the exchange.
The male's face relaxed, and the angry expression of the female behind him finally brightened, urging him to hurry up and pretend.
The male had no choice but to pack up the things quickly. He took a clay pot and was about to pour water into it when Lu Xiaoxiao noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a black paste in the bag next to him, and it exuded a grassy fragrance that was exactly the same as this "soy sauce". Could it be that "soy sauce" was made from this thing?
"Is it the same?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked, pointing at the black paste.
"Yeah." The male nodded.
"Then I want this. The clay pot is inconvenient to carry." Seeing something solid, Lu Xiaoxiao would of course prefer something that is easy to place and carry. "Just add water to it, right?"
"Yes." The male looked embarrassed. Adding water and selling pottery jars was a way to make the items bigger. He was willing to carry so many pottery jars and water from far away just to make things look more and more affordable. Like the pottery jar in front of him, it was as tall as his forearm. It only needed to add a full jar of water and a spoonful of black salty sauce to have a good taste.
A spoonful of the salty sauce was less than half the size of his palm, and it seemed too little to exchange for goods.
The female opened her eyes wide in surprise: "This is difficult to adjust. The taste you make may not be delicious. After adding water, this can be eaten for a long time without changing the taste. Don't worry about it going bad."
"Just add water." If it's too salty, just add water. If it's too bland, just add some ingredients. What's so difficult about that? Lu Xiaoxiao asked Yuchuan to take out a can of salt according to the exchange price. "I need to exchange so much. Please help me pack this up."
The male's eyes lit up slightly when he saw the jar full of salt. The female stopped complaining that the salt she had mixed was not tasty and quickly asked him to wrap it up: "Wrap it with leaves again, in case it melts it will be bad."
The male skillfully wrapped the salty sauce with a fresh long leaf, and tied the package with tightly rolled leaves until it could be lifted. He said to Yuchuan, "I've tried it. If you don't add water, it can be kept for a very long time and will hardly go bad. If you add water, it will not change for four or five seasons. Remember this taste."
He handed it over and asked Yuchuan to sniff it.
Males have a well-developed sense of smell and good memory. They only need to remember the original smell to avoid accidentally eating spoiled food. Lu Xiaoxiao really admires their well-developed brain memory and sense of smell. If any one of them were to travel through time to the modern era, he would definitely become an elite: strong execution ability, free rock climbing, good physical strength, well-developed sense of smell, etc... He is really suitable for combat.
Yuchuan sniffed it, making sure he had memorized the smell, and then nodded: "Yeah."
"I'll give you some more." He didn't bring a lot of salty sauce this time, and of course he didn't expect to exchange it all. The jar of salt that Lu Xiaoxiao gave him was a pleasant surprise for him.
He packed up the remaining salty sauce and even scraped the animal skin bag clean. If this animal skin bag had not been specially prepared by him, he would have given it to them.
The female's face was full of smiles, and she didn't show any disdain for the male at all.
Lu Xiaoxiao and her friends settled the payment and goods and set out on their journey home.
"Won't the Haihe tribe come out to cause trouble at this time?" On the quiet road, Lu Xiaoxiao thought of the female who ran away from the Haihe tribe with her today. Fortunately, she did not say something like "You are also a female who escaped from the Haihe tribe", otherwise if the Haihe tribe knew about it, who knows what would happen.
"No, generally not. The current exchange is what the tribes look forward to the most besides the exchange market. Some tribes even hope to exchange for food or animal skins at this time. If the Haihe tribe comes down the mountain to rob, it will be no less than cutting off people's livelihood. The tribes will spontaneously unite, which will also be a trouble for Haihe."
"He has already robbed someone, so why would he be afraid of an alliance?" Lu Xiaoxiao was speechless.
"It will cause some trouble. As long as a tribe is robbed, no one will take the risk to come out and exchange goods." Yuchuan said, "Their tribe is not like ours. They don't have a very good hunting environment."
Is it because hunting is inconvenient that they can only rely on robbery? Lu Xiaoxiao analyzed that the Haihe tribe is on the seashore, so they should make a living by catching fish, and they are good at swimming and diving, but they are lazy and afraid of danger, so they will never work hard if they can rob?
"Where do the Haihe tribe usually go to rob?"
"Anywhere except us." Yuchuan shrugged, his face very calm, "We are the only tribe in this mountain that can compete with him."
This statement may sound complacent, but all male orcs are like this. They worship their own tribe mindlessly. In their eyes, the glory of the tribe is always the most important.
"So, the Haihe tribe will also come here to exchange supplies?"
"Not necessarily. They might go to other places to raid."
But, I don’t know which unlucky tribes they are.
