The pampered life of a woman in the beast world's paradise
Chapter 62: Encountering Corn, Potatoes, and Flour
Xu Anan found it a little funny. It turns out that orcs would doze off when they were bored guarding the stall! And the little heads were so vivid.
"Puchi~" Xu Anan couldn't help but laughed out loud.
The dozing orc was awakened instantly. When he raised his head, there was still a little drool at the corner of his mouth, and he looked around with a dazed look.
When he saw a little female with a sweet smile, he smiled awkwardly.
Xu Anan pointed at the corner of her mouth, reminding him to pay attention to his image.
The stall owner was even more embarrassed and quickly raised his hand to wipe his drool. Although he already had a partner, he was still uncomfortable with being so embarrassed in front of a strange female.
Bai Yu was originally a little jealous because the little female paid too much attention to the stall owner, but his expression became much better when he saw the female portrait on the other person's chest.
Well, males with partners are safe.
However, he still spoke up at the right time to remind her, "An Bao, take a look at his stall to see if there's anything you like?"
Xu Anan smiled and kissed Bai Yu's cheek, and replied softly, "I know. But it was hard for my Xiaobai to carry me all the way."
Bai Yu accepted the reward sweetly, feeling extremely satisfied. Her little female always had a firm grip on him.
Xu Anan landed and got closer to see clearly that the stall was selling all kinds of vegetarian food. No wonder there were no orcs around.
But this is exactly what Xu Anan wanted.
Because she already recognized two foods, corn and potatoes.
She pointed to the corn and potatoes and asked, "How do we exchange these two?"
Seeing that the little female really wanted to exchange, the stall owner hurriedly introduced, "This is corn kernels. Although it looks like corn, the kernels are slightly sweet. They can be eaten raw or roasted. After drying, they can be stored until the cold season. This clod of earth can only be eaten roasted. It is also very fragrant and can be stored for a while. If the little female likes it, both types are available in a basket of one piece of animal skin."
The stall owner pointed to the basket filled with corn and potatoes. The basket was not very big in the animal world and could only hold about 100 kilograms.
However, this was the first time Xu Anan saw a basket, and why did it look so much like a bamboo basket?
"Is this basket counted together?" Xu Anan asked.
The stall owner quickly shook his head and said, "We don't sell baskets. We got these baskets with great difficulty from the Yuan Clan. They are very convenient for storing fruits and these foods."
Xu Anan knew that the beastmen would use vines to weave nets, but the gaps in the nets were particularly large, and they were mainly used to transport hunting prey. Is it just that difficult to replace the basket?
Bai Yu saw that the little female had taken a fancy to the corn kernels and lumps of earth, so he searched through his memory for a while before matching them with the book the little female had shown him. It turned out to be corn and potatoes, and their appearance was exactly the same as the pictures in the book, except that they were probably a little bigger.
So Bai Yu said, "These corn and potatoes... are just cob kernels and lumps of earth. We want as many as you have. We don't want your baskets."
When the stall owner heard that they wanted as many as they could get, his eyes lit up instantly, and he didn't care why the other party called them corn and potatoes. He even followed others to call them corn and potatoes, mainly because these things had no names, and they just called them randomly based on their appearance. Now that the orcs called them out by names, it would be right for him to follow suit.
"Okay, okay! Please wait a moment! I'll ask my fellow tribesmen to count how many there are." The stall owner danced with joy and shouted loudly to several surrounding stalls that were also very deserted.
"Brothers of the Antelope Tribe, we are here to do business. Come and count the total number of corn and potatoes you have. If there are any customers, they will take them."
The stall owners around were unfamiliar with the names of corn and potatoes mentioned by Juanjuan (the stall owner's name just now, he has curly hair, probably that's how he got his name), but it did not stop them from hearing that the orcs were taking all the things from their own tribe.
So everyone packed up their stalls, brought their things and gathered around.
Now they finally understood that corn and potatoes are actually cobs and lumps of earth. The names that passers-by called out were obviously better and sounded more advanced, so they changed their words as well.
The last few people grumbled for a while, and it was Juanjuan, who was the first to entertain Xu Anan and the others, who spoke up, "We currently have a total of fifteen baskets on the stall, seven baskets of corn and eight baskets of potatoes. But we still have about thirty baskets left in the cave where we live. That... do you really want them all?"
Bai Yu said coldly, "Forty-six baskets, these are twenty-three white crystals. We will take the goods here, and you can send the rest to my cave as soon as possible."
Juanjuan took the white crystals and counted them happily.
Bai Yu pretended to touch the corn and potatoes, but in fact Xu Anan indirectly put the things into the space by holding Bai Yu's arm.
Seeing that the corn or potatoes in the baskets that Bai Yu touched disappeared, the beastmen of the Antelope Tribe realized that this was a master with spatial abilities. Juanjuan also understood why he asked directly for their baskets but did not show that he did not know how to carry them.
I have to say that although the space is not lethal, it is indeed convenient.
Seeing that the corn and potatoes were sold out, Juanjuan rolled his eyes and quickly started introducing other items on the stall.
"Little female, do you like this pink fruit?" He picked up a gray fruit the size of a basketball and cut it open with his fingernails to show Xu Anan, "Look, this is it. It's all white powder inside, and it's edible, but it doesn't taste very good. And as long as the skin of the fruit is not damaged, it can be stored throughout the winter season."
Juanjuan was selling her food with all her might. You know, food that can be stored through the cold season will still be very popular even if it doesn't taste good, as long as it's edible.
Xu Anan leaned closer to smell it, then picked up a little and put it in her mouth to taste it, and her eyes immediately lit up.
Isn't this flour? Flour actually grows in the fruit, and you don't have to process it yourself. It's so humane!
"How much is this pink fruit?" Xu Anan asked.
Juanjuan said a little embarrassedly, "This is the same price as corn and potatoes. Ahem ~ Although the taste of pink fruit is not that good. But it is durable in storage and will not go bad even in a cold season. Haha... If the taste is better, it should be much more expensive."
Xu Anan didn’t think it was expensive, and the only reason the flour tasted bad was that the orcs didn’t know how to eat it.
But Xu Anan was not kind enough to teach them how to eat these foods for free. When they returned to the cave and made delicious food, orcs would naturally come to inquire about it. That would be the time to maximize the benefits.
Xu Anan nodded and said proudly, "Count how many there are and take them all."
"Hey! Okay, okay. Please wait a moment, little female!" Juanjuan asked his tribesmen to count, and he continued to introduce other items to Xu Anan.
