Chapter 208 Going to the Market
It's called a market, but it's actually just an open grassland. It's clear that this was originally a cleared area after trees were cut down, and now it's a place for orcs to trade.
Orcs are prohibited from fighting at the market, and order must be maintained by the patriarchs of each tribe at every market.
Jin Ji and the others had already seen the finest goods in Mu Wanwan's shop, so they were not impressed by the ones at the market.
So they gave the trading stall that previously belonged to their Tiger Tribe to them.
Orcs came and went in the market, and the stalls of orcs from various tribes were filled with various goods. Their stalls were very simple, with a huge piece of animal skin spread on the ground, and then the goods to be traded were placed on it.
There are straw sandals woven by themselves, as well as crystals of various colors and furs of various animals.
What Mu Wanwan didn't expect was that there were actually some hand-woven bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets.
It seems that orcs are still very intelligent.
Mu Wanwan took out a table from the space, spread the animal skin on the table, and then took out the prepared goods.
After opening a pack of self-heating hot pot, Mu Wanwan tore open the outer packaging, opened the ingredient packs one by one and put them into the upper lunch box, and then poured the hot pot base pack on the ingredients.
Then place the heating pack in the lower box, pour in an appropriate amount of water, and then close the lid tightly.
After a while, the heating pack began to react, making a slight 'sizzling' sound.
The steam gradually rose. After waiting for a while, when the steam stopped coming out in large quantities, Mu Wanwan opened the lid.
A spicy and tempting aroma immediately spread out, and the originally raw ingredients had been cooked until they were soft and tasty.
"What does this smell like? It smells so good."
"Look over there, what's that in front of that little female?"
"Why would a female come out to sell goods?"
Females are kept at home and well protected, so how could they come to such a messy place?
"This male is so uncaring of the female. What if such a beautiful little female is snatched away by those bad orcs?"
"What strange things are they wearing? What kind of animal skin is this?"
As the male they were talking about, Si Yuan naturally heard their discussion.
Who said he can't take care of Wanwan? He will help Wanwan take a bath and warm her bed!
How is this not considered caring?
"Little female, what is this? It smells so good, a scent I've never smelled before." Kahn walked over, staring at the steaming self-heating hot pot, and couldn't help but stretch out his nose to sniff it.
He had never smelled such a strong fragrance before, and he was an orc from the Lion Tribe.
"This is called self-heating hot pot, you can try it." Mu Wanwan picked up the chopsticks on the side and handed them to Kahn.
The females in Kahn's tribe have the habit of using chopsticks, but they usually use two small branches, and they have never seen branches that are polished so smoothly.
He took the chopsticks and clumsily tried to pick up a piece of something that looked like meat and put it into his mouth.
The rich meaty aroma and unique stimulating taste made his eyes light up. This taste was simply irresistible.
"Huha..." Kahn kept breathing in, trying to calm the irritating taste in his mouth.
Si Yuan quickly poured a glass of water and handed it to Kahn. Mu Wanwan didn't expect Kahn to react so strongly. What she took out was only slightly spicy. Is this orc so afraid of spicy food?
"Good... so good..." After drinking the water, Kahn picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, saying while chewing.
"What's that smell?" Kahn asked.
Mu Wanwan took advantage of the table's cover and took out a chili pepper from the space. "This is called chili pepper. It will feel spicy when you eat it, but it makes the food more delicious."
Kahn snatched the chili from Mu Wanwan's hand and started chewing it.
"You wait..." Before Mu Wanwan could finish her words, Kahn coughed due to the spicy taste of the chili pepper.
His face instantly turned red, and his face was covered with tears and snot.
"Water...water..."
Seeing this, Si Yuan immediately handed the water to Kahn.
This was also the first time that Mu Wanwan had seen such a ruthless person. What she had just taken was the hottest pepper rumored to be there. Fortunately, this orc had a good physique.
If it were ordinary humans, they would be poisoned by the pepper.
I swear to God, she just picked one up at random, but she didn't expect this orc to be so fierce.
"This can't be eaten directly. It's used to season food." Mu Wanwan explained.
Kahn wiped his tears, panting and nodding.
"Little female, how much are these for? I want them all." After Kahn recovered a little, he wanted to buy them all home.
Mu Wanwan shook her head. "I'm not doing any trading today. I'm just giving these out for everyone to try. If you want to trade, you can go to the foot of the Blue Forest. I have a shop there."
I only found out the name of this forest after asking Taotao this morning. Mu Wanwan customized a bunch of signposts on the modern interface yesterday, and before going out today, she asked Mu Yuheng and Ouyang Moyu to set them up on the side of the road in the forest.
"This is a map." Mu Wanwan picked up a map on the table and handed it to Kahn.
Afraid that these orcs wouldn't understand, Mu Wanwan specifically requested that no text be included when placing the order. She simply marked the store location with a red dot, and a few little people on it pointed the directions of several intersections.
Kahn took the map, looked at it carefully for a long time, and was secretly shocked.
Such a small piece of animal skin actually depicts the map of the entire Blue Forest in such detail.
But is this animal skin? So thin! So light! He has never seen anything like it before.
"This is paper. We can draw something on it." Mu Wanwan saw Kahn's confusion and explained.
Paper? Painting? Kahn clearly didn't understand.
"Do you have any animal skins you are wearing for sale?" Kahn pointed at Mu Wanwan's clothes, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.
Mu Wanwan took out several sets of clothes and pants from a storage box under the table. "This is called clothes. It's not made of animal skin, but it has been specially crafted to be warmer than animal skin. I can give you a set."
Kahn didn't understand what Mu Wanwan said, but when Mu Wanwan said warm, he understood.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Although it is not yet extremely cold, Kahn knows that the arrival of winter will be a severe test for every orc.
Especially the weak females in the tribe, they need warm clothes more.
"Thank you, can you give me one to try?" Kahn said.
Mu Wanwan smiled and nodded, then handed him a set of clothes.
When he took it, he was surprised by the soft touch. Kahn's eyes widened. This suit felt so light in his hands. Could it really protect him from the cold?
Mu Wanwan prepared a down jacket, and Si Yuan demonstrated to him how to put it on.
Kahn followed Si Yuan's example, unzipped his down jacket, put his arms in, and zipped it up again.
