Chapter 209 Salt Making
After seeing off Xiao Mi and Taxue, Zhou Manman turned around reluctantly. Xiao Mi still carried the pottery bowl made by Zhou Manman around his waist as he used to do when he went out hunting. This time the pottery bowl was much more beautiful, and the little snake on it was not made in a funny way, but was a Q version of a little snake that matched his appearance very well.
The one with Qing Lingyu is a very cute little fox, the one with Lin is a cute little tiger, and Zhou Manman also found some outstanding flowers and leaves, and after grinding them, she colored the pottery bowls, which were very cute after being baked.
They already had experience in setting up stalls to sell things. This time, Anlina and Zhou Manman learned from their last experience and went there early. Tarasha arrived late only after the stall was completely packed up.
But in fact, Tarasa came earlier than they did last time.
They found a location, still near the intersection, but a little further back than the last time. Still, many orcs at the stalls recognized them.
"What's going on today? I didn't expect you guys to come so early."
"Hey, what is this? I didn't see it last time. You don't know, after I took it home, my partner kept praising me. It made me very proud."
Zhou Manman responded with a smile. Those males were all innocent and loyal. Qing Lingyu set up a small medical stall nearby and smiled as he watched Zhou Manman introduce things with ease.
I just feel that the years are quiet and good.
The sun slowly rose, and more orcs came. Zhou Manman's stall became particularly conspicuous. She launched an initiative to let females taste it for free. Some orcs saw it last time, and this time they specifically wanted to buy some for their own females to taste. Therefore, a group of orcs gathered at the stall. The more orcs gathered, the more curious the orcs who didn't know what was going on became. After a while, they surrounded the stall in three layers.
Qing Lingyu originally planned to set up a small stall next to Manman while accompanying him to see if there were any females who needed medical treatment, because witch doctors were rare, and witch doctors with good medical skills were even rarer, but he didn't expect Manman's business to be so good! He thought he was lucky to earn those ten energy stones last time, but now it seems that it's not the case!
Qing Lingyu didn't even set up the stall, but stood up to help pack.
"Leave some for me! Make way! I came here to ask you last time! I told you to leave some for me! I brought the energy stone!"
She was a female, and the surrounding orcs subconsciously made way for her.
The female walked closer and showed Zhou Manman her neat teeth. "How do you sell the remaining ones? How many energy stones? I want them all."
When the orcs who were surrounding her heard her say this, they were immediately furious. What else would he buy if he took everything from them? Even some orcs who were just watching the fun, seeing this scene, were anxious to exchange something for something.
"Yes, yes, there are more. How much do you want?"
The female raised her hand and said, "I want them all. How many energy stones are needed?"
Zhou Manman smiled and said, "Eight energy stones."
The female was shocked, it’s so expensive!
The orcs who were watching couldn't help but be shocked. Oh my god, these things are so expensive!
She paused and said, "Then give me five energy stones. It's also very strange that this thing of yours tastes good no matter how you eat it. Mixed with rice, I can eat two more bowls. It's also durable. It can be stored for two days in this weather. The most important thing is that it tastes good. There's nothing else to gain in this life. As long as I can eat delicious food and be happy every day, that's enough!"
Zhou Manman nodded in agreement, and gave her a lot of the five energy stones.
The female saw that five energy stones were indeed a lot, but the amount given was also a lot, so she didn't feel bad anymore and walked away happily with the things in her hands.
There was still about a bamboo tube of braised food left, and the remaining orcs quickly exchanged them for other things.
After selling all the things, it was still early, so a few of them walked along the roadside on their way home. They used the things that others had exchanged for some things they needed, and Zhou Manman also exchanged some seasonings.
After they returned, they started distributing the things. When Zhou Manman talked to them, she set strict distribution standards. The proportions were as follows: Anlina and Tarasha each accounted for one-fifth, and Zhou Manman accounted for three-fifths.
Of course, this is based on braised meat. Judging from today's situation, the orcs in the market all like to eat it, but their purchasing power is not very good. Energy stones are very precious and will not be taken out easily. They can usually be exchanged for things, and rarely bought with energy stones.
So Zhou Manman felt that she had to go to the central capital to take a look.
I told them this idea and neither of them had any objections.
"If that's the case, will we still go to the market in the future?"
"Well... let's go to the Central Capital first. If business is good, we won't go to the market. Or we can go to the market when it's open and go to the Central Capital the rest of the time."
Tarasha exclaimed, "This is too tiring, Manman! I'm going to turn into combat sand."
Zhou Manman laughed and said, "You can just not go when you're tired."
After sharing the energy stones between the two people, and dividing the food and animal skins obtained in return, Zhou Manman saw that it was still early, so he suggested going to the beach to catch seafood.
Tarasha's eyes lit up, "Let's eat crabs tonight!"
"Not only crabs, there are actually many things you can eat. You will know when the time comes. The last time we went there it was low tide, so we can get there later."
When it comes to eating, both of them are full of energy.
"Do you need to prepare anything?"
"Prepare a basket and some salt."
Speaking of salt, Zhou Manman suddenly remembered that their salt was exchanged at the market. The salt was very coarse and mixed with a little sand and gravel. They were near the sea and there was such a large beach that had not been used. Did that mean they could make salt to exchange for things?
Thinking of this, Zhou Manman suddenly became a little excited. You know, braised food is good, but if it is handed over to the orcs in the tribe, the male orcs have a different taste from the female orcs, and there will definitely be problems in the production. As for the female orcs, they may not be willing to suffer this kind of hardship, as they are all spoiled.
Moreover, this braised food recipe is rare now, but if it is handed over to the tribe, the disadvantages will far outweigh the advantages. The females of this tribe have never had any difficulties in life. Even if there are some, they are caused by insufficient energy stones, but for life, it actually has no impact at all. However, this is not the case for other tribes. Because the males of many tribes are not warlike and are not strong, they need to buy and sell to make money for the tribe.
Their females might be willing.
After much thought, Zhou Manman felt that salt making was a good direction.
First of all, they are not monopolizing the industry, but are making products faster, more scientific, better and more competitive, which is enough to allow the orcs to have a stable life, but will not easily be targeted by other tribes.
