Chapter 169 Barbecue Goes Viral
"I know, please go ahead and deliver them."
Ming then continued to take Lin Liuyi to browse the stalls, where Lin Liuyi saw all sorts of things. Some stalls even had huge flowers on display. Ming explained that these flowers could make people's voices louder. Good heavens, weren't these morning glories?
Some stalls had large flowers that looked like epiphyllum flowers. It was said that these flowers would light up if you tapped them once at night and go out if you tapped them twice. Lin Liuyi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, you even have nightlights!"
"Where are those red fruits?" Lin Liu asked as he noticed a stall surrounded by people, all of whom were buying red fruits.
"These are our salted fruits. Those orcs come here to buy them."
Mingyuan stood far away but didn't need to go up. In the past, her tribe always had to buy salt fruit whenever they came. Now, with Lin Liuyi's support, and having also learned the method of drying sea salt from Lin Liuyi, she and the tribe warriors had already found a small patch of sea and started experimenting.
By the time they return to their tribe, the sea salt will probably already be dried.
"It's amazing that fruit can produce salt." Hearing Lin Liuyi's curiosity, Ming went and bought some without saying a word.
"Chief White Tiger, isn't this amount of salted fruit not enough for your White Tiger tribe?" The orc from the Green Lion tribe, who was selling salt, reminded her, looking at the quantity of salted fruit Ming had bought.
"Let's buy some first, and then I'll have my people come back later." The sea salt hasn't been dried yet, and Ming doesn't want to reveal that his tribe has salt right now.
After passing this stall, I found some stalls selling stones.
“That’s rock salt, which is a bit more bitter than salted fruit, but it’s cheaper. Some orc tribes can’t afford salted fruit, so they choose to buy rock salt,” Ming explained directly to Lin Liuyi.
As they continued wandering around, Lin Liuyi caught a glimpse of something flashing by on a stall. "Ming, wait a minute, let me take a closer look at that stall."
"This is a farting fruit, which our tribe rarely eats." Ming frowned when he saw that the stall Lin Liuyi had made him stop at was selling farting fruits.
"You're talking nonsense, these are white tube fruits." The herbivorous beastman selling the fruit was displeased.
Ming glanced at the other person; the oppressive aura emanating from the carnivore made the fruit-selling orc avoid her gaze.
"Whatever you say goes."
"No, this is a big radish. Eating too much of it will make you fart. But that's not important. Pick up the third one on your right and let me take a look."
Ming obediently picked it up, saying, "What's so special about this one? It looks even uglier than the others."
"You're ugly, your whole tribe is ugly," the fruit-selling orc thought cautiously to himself.
"This isn't a radish, it's a ginseng! My God, aren't these things usually long and thin? How can one be so fat!" Lin Liu observed it again and again, and finally confirmed that it was a big, fat ginseng.
"Ginseng? Isn't that the king of herbs you mentioned?"
Ming had also searched around the tribe, but unfortunately she hadn't found it. She thought it didn't exist in their world.
"Yes, I didn't expect it to be mixed in with the radishes. You should buy it!"
"Do you still have any of this ugly fruit?" Ming asked the other person while holding the ginseng.
"Yes, yes, this tastes bitter, not as sweet as the white tube fruit." Speaking of this, the herbivorous beastman also found this thing annoying. He clearly planted white tube fruit, but this fruit always grew together with the white tube fruit, so sometimes when they tasted the bitter one, they would immediately spit it out.
"Send them all to the White Tiger Tribe! You know that!"
"No, you really want it? Then I'd like to change it to salted fruit," the herbivore said hesitantly.
He also knew that the price of white tube fruit was definitely not as high as that of salt fruit, but it was too difficult for them, herbivorous beastmen, to exchange for salt fruit, and they also needed to consume salt.
"Okay, no problem, deliver it!"
Seeing that the herbivorous beastman was so happy that he didn't even want his own stall anymore, he started packing ginseng to send to the White Tiger tribe.
"One, two, five, ten..." Lin Liuyi was really unsure now. Had she misjudged? Could this thing really be wholesaled in bulk like radishes?
"I only brought twenty with me this time, but our tribe still has more. How about I send my people back to get them?" The herbivore beastman secretly regretted that he hadn't brought enough ugly radishes. It was all because these white tiger tribesmen only liked ugly radishes.
"Yes, it can be delivered to the White Tiger Clan before the end of the tribal trade fair."
The other party nodded happily, while Lin Liuyi anxiously urged Ming to continue to other stalls.
Following the pattern of radishes and ginseng being mixed together, they then found Ganoderma lucidum at the mushroom stall, Polygonum multiflorum at the tree root stall, and even wolfberries at the fruit stall.
"You can find the rest yourself. These are enough for your needs for now. Do you want to go back to the stall and take a look?"
Having successfully found the medicinal herbs, Lin Liuyi was also worried that without Ming, their White Tiger Clan's business might be in trouble.
"Don't worry, they're all tough." Although Ming said this, he was still a little worried, and his pace quickened unconsciously after hanging up the video call.
To my surprise, as soon as I got closer, I saw that the White Tiger Clan's stall was already surrounded by people.
Ming immediately tensed up and pushed his way through the crowd.
"Hey, why are you cutting in line, you beast!" the beastman who was pushed aside complained.
"Hey, Chieftain, you're back! Hurry, we're almost overwhelmed with work!" The White Tiger Clan member said, his hands still busy.
Upon hearing that this was the chieftain of the White Tiger Clan, the orc who had been pulled aside immediately shut up and continued to queue. He sniffed, wondering when it would be his turn.
"Are all these people here to buy kebabs and grilled meat?" Ming looked at the swarm of orcs around him.
"Isn't that right? As soon as our kebabs start to smell, orcs immediately swarm around them." The tribesmen next to her described how popular their tribe's roasted meat was.
With the constant nodding and urging from the orcs queuing next to him, Ming also realized that many orcs liked this thing.
"By the way, Chieftain, I tried the fruit you sent. I added some to the roasted meat, and it was quite delicious. Chieftain, you should try it." Hu Lie truly lived up to his reputation as the best roasting beast in the White Tiger Clan; he had already discovered the use of chili peppers before Ming even returned.
"It's delicious. But don't put too much in." Ming remembered what the orc had said about someone getting a stomachache after eating it, probably because they couldn't handle the spiciness.
She finished her skewers in no time and then came to help.
Before long, she smelled a sweet fragrance.
"Hehe, Chieftain, how about this? This is nectar I bought from the Bee Tribe. I found that it tastes better when spread on meat."
Hu Lie truly lives up to his reputation as the most talented chef in the White Tiger Clan; he has even invented a new dish on his own.
Ming gave him an approving look.
