Chapter 201 Arrived at the Xu Shi! The Prototype of a Primitive Society Market!
Finally, Lin Ye shot down all the grapes he could find.
He arranged them in order of sweetness.
Finally, Lin Ye picked out the sweetest bunch, the largest bunch, and the sourest bunch, marking them.
Then, he took all the less delicious grapes back to the carriage.
The beast-eared girls and the winged girls were chatting idly.
Seeing Lin Ye return with something in his hands,
their eyes lit up.
Ling flapped her blue wings and glided lightly to Lin Ye’s side.
She blinked and asked,
“Ye, what are you holding?” The others also looked curious. Xing also asked Lin Ye, “Ye, is this delicious?” After speaking, she swallowed.
Lin Ye looked at their appearances and smiled, saying, “This is called grapes, and they are very delicious.”
Upon hearing Lin Ye’s words, the beast-eared girls and winged girls’ eyes sparkled.
Looking at the beast-eared girls,
Lin Ye smiled and handed them the delicious bunches of grapes.
The beast-eared girls and winged girls happily took the grapes and began to eat.
The grapes, the size of ping pong balls, could fill one’s entire mouth with just one. “Wow, these grapes are so sweet.”
After eating the first grape, Xing’s eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed.
The other few also ate one.
The beast-eared girls and winged girls, experiencing the taste of grapes for the first time,
all widened their eyes, then closed them comfortably.
“Heavens, this is too delicious,” Ganyu couldn’t help but praise after eating one. “I’ve seen many of these fruits before, but I never dared to eat them randomly. I didn’t expect they’d be so delicious!”
Mei Yun said with a happy expression after swallowing the grapes.
The other winged girls also nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye took out several empty Talent Potion Bottles.
He began to peel the sourest bunch of grapes, removed the grape seeds, and put them into the potion bottles.
The largest bunch was slightly sweet, not very delicious.
So Lin Ye also peeled the seeds out of these.
The flesh of these two bunches of grapes was processed by the unicorn.
Lin Ye ate the sweetest bunch entirely, then spat the seeds into the potion bottles.
Just like this, Lin Ye obtained three small bottles of grape seeds.
The beast-eared girls and winged girls watched Lin Ye collecting seeds,
and looked at him with confusion.
“Ye, when eating this, should we spit out the seeds?”
Shi saw Lin Ye eat the grapes and spit out the seeds, and asked,
“It’s okay to eat them. Those are just grape seeds. I’m taking them out because I want to plant them back in the tribe.” “With Sakura here, we can have grapes forever,” Lin Ye explained with a smile.
Upon hearing Lin Ye’s words,
the three beast-eared girls immediately jumped up with excitement.
“Really? Ye, can grapes be planted in the tribe too?”
Xing grabbed Lin Ye’s arm, her eyes wide as she spoke to him.
The other beast-eared girls also jumped up happily.
“That’s great, we can eat such delicious grapes in the tribe from now on.” “Yes, this way, others in the tribe can also eat such delicious grapes,” Shi and Ganyu said.
The winged girls, however, stood behind, looking at the three beast-eared girls with envy.
Since the bridge was repaired, Xing and the others often sent delicious food to the winged girls.
At the same time, they would chat with the winged girls all day long.
When Xing and the others chatted, they couldn’t go three sentences without mentioning Lin Ye.
This made the winged girls extremely envious of life in the beast-eared tribe.
Moreover, even though the people in the primitive tribe were simple-minded,
and had been eating the food sent by Xing and the others,
they felt it was somewhat inappropriate.
Now, seeing Lin Ye bringing grapes back to the beast-eared tribe again,
the winged girls couldn’t help but think how great it would be if they could also eat grapes regularly.
Lin Ye marked the three bottles of grape seeds.
He then put them into his storage space.
Next, Lin Ye spoke to the winged girls who were watching them enviously,
“I just saw that this forest is very large. Mingyun, fly up and see if we have already left the grassland.” Hearing Lin Ye’s words, Mingyun’s eyes lit up.
She nodded, flapped her wings, and soared straight into the sky.
After a while, Mingyun descended with a smile.
Before she even landed, her voice was heard.
“We have indeed left the grassland! I can see the Xu Shi, it’s at the edge of the forest ahead!” Mingyun said excitedly as she descended, pointing to the left of the forest.
Hearing Mingyun’s words, Lin Ye and the others also began to laugh.
After walking for so many days, they had finally reached the Xu Shi.
When Mingyun landed, Shi asked with confusion,
“Didn’t they say it would take ten days? We’ve only been traveling for eight days, and we were delayed several times on the way.” Mingyun scratched her ear, not understanding.
“I don’t know. Grandma Nanrong said it would take ten days to walk, but if we fly at full speed, it would only take four days.” Hearing Mingyun’s words, Lin Ye understood.
He explained to them,
“Grandma Nanrong meant walking, but we are traveling by carriage, which is much faster than walking, so we arrived earlier.” After Lin Ye finished speaking, the beast-eared girls and winged girls nodded in realization.
Then, everyone prepared to depart for the Xu Shi.
At this moment, Lin Ye thought for a moment and spoke again,
“Everyone, please move all the arrows to the front of the carriage, and bring the Zhuge Liang Crossbow and the Foot-pedal Crossbow to the front as well.”
“Remember, do not mention anything about potatoes, and do not mention the Zhuge Liang Crossbow and the Foot-pedal Crossbow. Even if someone asks, just say you don’t know.” Lin Ye earnestly instructed the beast-eared girls and winged girls.
Seeing Lin Ye’s serious expression,
they also stopped their playful demeanor.
They nodded seriously at Lin Ye.
After packing their belongings and getting into the carriage, they all set off again.
This time, the unicorn slowly pulled the carriage in the direction Mingyun had pointed.
The beast-eared girls and winged girls sat inside the carriage.
They opened the doors and windows, curiously looking outside.
After traveling for about an hour,
Lin Ye, sitting in the carriage, saw tents in front of them.
Gradually, the carriage drew closer and closer.
They reached the edge of these tents.
As they approached, two tall, muscular Minotaurs with ox horns.
They first looked at the unicorn and the carriage behind it with surprise.
Lin Ye saw the two Minotaurs approaching.
Remembering that Mingyun had said this Xu Shi was organized by the Minotaurs, he had the unicorn stop.
The two Minotaurs saw Lin Ye sitting in the carriage.
They spoke to Lin Ye, asking,
“How did you know about this Xu Shi, and what goods have you brought?” The two Minotaurs, holding wooden spears, looked at Lin Ye defensively.
At this moment, Mingyun, from inside the carriage, poked her head out and said to the two Minotaurs,
“Grandma Nanrong told us about this Xu Shi. We are from the Winged Race tribe and a mixed tribe.” Upon hearing Grandma Nanrong’s name, the two Minotaurs frowned and thought for a moment, as if remembering something.
Then they spoke again,
“Nanrong, we remember her. She is the Witch of the Winged Race.” “Since you are from the Winged Race, you must be bringing feathers?” The two Minotaurs asked Mingyun, one after another.
Mingyun nodded and replied to the two Minotaurs,
“We are bringing feathers, and straw mats, which are unique to Ye’s tribe.” Sakura pointed at Lin Ye when mentioning the straw mats.
The two Minotaurs, not knowing what straw mats were, exchanged glances and then said to Lin Ye,
“Show us the straw mats. Also, to trade in this Xu Shi, you must first give our Minotaur tribe a portion of the goods you have brought.” Mingyun knew about these things and nodded naturally after listening.
Lin Ye listened thoughtfully to Mingyun’s conversation with the Minotaurs.
He couldn’t help but murmur inwardly.
The first thing they did was ask who told them, as if asking for a guarantor, so they would know who to find if problems arose.
Then, to trade here, they had to give a portion of their goods to the Minotaur tribe first.
This was like a stall fee.
