I ride a big black tiger and fly through the world of beasts

Chapter 155: Flame 1: Selling Jerky

Tu Luo went down the tunnel in front of Yan Yi and the others, and after turning several corners inside, he entered the main tunnel, and then entered the large cave where the tribe lived.

As soon as we entered the big cave, we saw Tuhua sitting on a tree root with a pale face, and there were many females sitting beside her.

Seeing Tu Luo coming back, Tu Hua hurriedly stood up and asked, "Are the orcs from the Yao tribe here to trade?"

Tu Luo hurried over to support her and said, "You are pregnant now, and you haven't eaten well recently. You are weak, so you should lie down more."

Rabbit Flower smiled and said, "I'm fine. I want to meet the orcs from the Rabbit Tribe and see the supplies they brought."

Tu Luo said, "Don't rush to meet them. They will stay here for three sunrises to teach our orcs and females how to make animal skin clothes and weave bamboo baskets."

Tuhua said happily: "Then ask them if they brought fire?"

Tu Luo patted his head and said, "I forgot to ask. It's okay. I'll go ask later." Although the Yao tribe taught them how to cook food before, after returning to their residence, they found that they had no fire and didn't know how to make a fire.

Rabbit Teeth said, "Sister, do you want some wild fruit, or do you want to eat white earth roots?"

Tuhua shook her head and said, "I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat."

Tu Luo immediately said, "Hua, the one who led the team to trade this time is Captain Yan Yi, who is beside Chief Yiyun. In addition to animal skins and clothes, they also brought dried meat. I smell it is very fragrant. If you like to eat it, I will go and exchange some with Captain Yan Yi and bring it back for you to try."

Tuhua's eyes lit up and she said, "I want to go out with you. I haven't been outside for several days."

Tu Luo said, "Okay, I'll take you there. Hua, do you think we should send a small number of orcs and females to learn how to make fur clothes, or send more? Didn't we promise the orcs of the Rabbit Tribe that they can pursue our females freely? I don't want to expose too many unattached females."

Tuhua thought for a moment and said, "Then don't send too many orcs and females. They won't be able to figure out how many orcs and females we have."

Tu Luo nodded and said, "Okay. Do you want to sit here first or go back and lie down? I will go discuss it with some elders."

Tuhua said: "I'll sit here for a while."

Tu Luo got up and went to discuss with the tribal elders.

A female came up to Tuhua and said, "Hua, I want to learn how to make animal skin clothes."

Tuhua shook her head and said, "Ying, your leader may not agree with you going to meet the orcs of the Yao tribe. It will be the same when other orcs in the tribe learn and come back to teach you."

Tu Ying said unhappily: "I don't want it. I want the orcs from the Yao tribe to teach me directly."

Tuhua felt a little headache and said, "Go find your brother."

Tu Ya said, "Ying, you are the leader's sister. What if you are pursued by the orcs from the Yao tribe? The leader doesn't want you to leave his side."

Tu Ying was a little confused, and after thinking for a while, she said, "It's okay if I don't go out to study. I can just hide at the entrance of the cave and watch."

Tu Luo and the five elders held a short meeting and finally determined the orcs and females who would go out. The females would mainly be those who were already in pairs and had cubs, plus six females who were not in pairs. As for the orcs, some of those with more flexible minds would be sent.

After the discussion, Tu Luo took five rabbit orcs and his partner and prepared to trade some dried meat first.

Yan Yi was busy on the grass with a large group of orcs when he suddenly saw the bushes through which the rabbit tribe had entered and exited move. Four rabbit orcs crawled out, and then Tu Luo crawled out holding a female.

Tu Luo was surprised and asked: "Captain Yan Yi, what are you doing?"

Yan Yi stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, Madam Chief, long time no see."

Tuhua leaned on Tu Luo and replied with a smile: "Hello, Captain Yanyi."

Yan Yi then said to Tu Luo: "We are setting up the tent. Aren't we going to teach the people of your tribe to make animal skin clothes and weave bamboo baskets in the next three sunrises? We will teach them in the tent so that they won't get too hot."

Tu Luo was shocked and said, "Aren't tents made of animal skins?" When they were on the Green Grassland, they built tents with animal skins.

Yan Yi shook his head and said, "A hide tent consumes too much hide. We usually don't set up hide tents now."

Tu Luo looked at the orcs who were tying straw rafts, and he was more and more shocked. He wanted to use the excuse of exchanging dried meat to see more and see if he could learn it. Although the rabbit tribe lived in caves or underground caves, it was always good to learn more things so that they could use them when needed.

Yan Yi naturally saw through Tu Luo's thoughts, but he didn't take it seriously. Compared with his goal in the next few days, teaching the rabbit tribe to build straw tents was not a big deal.

Tuhua's attention was attracted by the baskets and animal skin bags. There were so many beautiful animal skin shoes in the baskets.

Tu Luo looked at his partner and said, "Captain Yan Yi, I want to exchange some dried meat with you for my partner to try. She is pregnant recently and can't eat many things. Your dried meat is very fragrant, she may like it."

Yan Yi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Chief Tu Luo, you're going to be a father."

Tu Luo is very happy.

Yan Yi wiped his hands on his animal skin skirt, opened the animal skin bag he had shown Tu Luo before, took out a piece of jerky from it and handed it to Tu Hua, saying, "Give this one to the leader's wife to try. If you like it, we can discuss the deal. If you don't like it, there's no need to trade."

Tuhua hurriedly took the dried meat from Yanyi's hand and said with a smile, "Thank you, Captain Yanyi." After that, she put the dried meat in her mouth and took a bite, biting off a small piece of meat. She chewed it and became happier the more she chewed.

After eating a few bites, Tuhua said, "Captain Yanyi, I really like this jerky. How can I trade this bag of jerky?"

Yan Yi said, "Don't underestimate this bag of dried meat. This is the meat of a sheep. It takes our females several sunrises to make the dried meat. If we trade this bag of dried meat with white radishes, we will need eight baskets of white radishes or four baskets of purple sweet potatoes."

Tu Luo said, "Okay, let's make a deal. I'll have the orcs bring eight baskets of white radishes."

Yan Yida said: "What flavor of jerky do you want? We have salty jerky, sweet jerky, and spicy jerky. The leader's wife just ate salty jerky."

Tu Luo and Tu Hua were stunned. Tu Hua asked, "Can I try the other two flavors of jerky?"

Yan Yi opened another animal skin bag and took out one piece of sweet jerky and one piece of spicy jerky for Tuhua.

Tuhua took the other two pieces of jerky. After she had tasted all the flavors, she looked at Tu Luo tenderly and said, "Luo, I want all three flavors of jerky. If you change the three flavors, I can eat them until the cold season."

Tu Luo took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Hua Yao will exchange them all." Turning to Yan Yi, "Then exchange the three bags of dried meat with sixteen baskets of white radishes and four baskets of purple sweet potatoes. Tu Qi, go back and ask the elders to get the white and purple soil roots, and tell them that I borrowed them from the tribal communal treasury first."

"Okay, leader." A rabbit orc prepared to go back.

Yan Yi hurriedly said, "Brother Tuqi, wait a minute."

He turned around and opened a large animal hide bag, then took out a small rattan basket, filled it with several kinds of dried meat, dried sweet potatoes, and dried taro, and handed it to Tu Qi, saying, "These are Yaocheng's specialty foods. Let the elders have a taste to show our sincerity in the transaction."

Tu Luo and Tu Hua were surprised to find that there were other things besides dried meat, and they looked delicious.

Tu Qi glanced at the leader, and seeing that the leader did not stop him, he took the wicker basket and left.

Tu Luo helped Tu Hua sit down on the grass nearby, and he sat down too. On the surface, he was waiting for Tu Qi to deliver the rooting rhizomes, but in fact he was watching the orcs of Yaocheng build grass rafts.

Tuhua ate slowly, enjoying the aroma of the jerky. She was very energetic and had a good appetite. She asked Tuluo to try it, and Tuluo took a small bite and liked it instantly. This jerky was not only liked by females, but also by beastmen.

Tu Luo calculated in his mind. The dried meat was really delicious, but also really expensive. If he wanted to exchange for more, how many white and purple soil roots would he need? He felt that he could no longer calculate.

Yan Yi looked at the rabbit and Luo companions and could hardly suppress the smile on his face. He slowly sorted the animal skin bag and asked, "Madam Chief, our city lord's wife mentioned to you before that the hair of the rabbit beastmen can be used for trading. I wonder if you have any?"

Tuhua's eyes lit up and she said, "Yes, yes, I have asked the females to collect some. I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."
