Chapter 31: The Drooling Man-Eating Flower
It didn't take long for the two of them to come back with a bag full of jerky, followed by a large number of people.
"There really is white salt like snow, it's not expensive, aren't you being deceived?"
"See for yourselves. ”
When they looked at Tushan's stall, they were frightened, good fellows, are so many jars of snow-white stuff all salt? Why is it so white, and it doesn't look like there are any impurities at all!
The yellow and brown skins handed the meat on their shoulders to the Tushan tribesmen: "You look at it to see if the quantity is right." ”
Putai glanced at his eyes, and he knew in his heart: "These are enough." ”
Ye Xi happily picked up a jar of white salt and handed it to the yellow animal skin.
The yellow animal skin stared at the salt handed to the white flower in front of him, swallowed his saliva, wiped his hands on the animal skin on his body, and made sure that there were no sweat stains in his palms before carefully taking the salt shaker.
"It's so white, it's really salt. The Yellow Beast Skin's clansmen muttered as they stared at the salt in Yellow Skin's arms.
The yellow animal skin that bought the salt smiled, and when he heard it, he said, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the stall and try it, I also bought it after tasting it." ”
"Really, you can try it, then I'll try it too." ”
After tasting it, the eyes of the people lit up, and they said excitedly to the people next to them: "It's really salty, there is such a good salt, I also want a jar, isn't it two hundred catties of meat!"
They have seen a lot of yellow and brown salt mixed with impurities of the Huang Zhen tribe, and it is rare to see such pure white and flawless salt.
One by one, more and more people gathered in front of the Tushan stalls, and they began to order salt, for fear that the salt would be sold out when it was too late.
Ye Xi stood behind with a smile, looking at the hot trading scene.
As long as the first jar of salt is sold, there is no need to worry about the followers, and as word of mouth slowly spreads, more and more people will come to buy salt.
Ye Xi no longer cared about the stalls, and turned his head to look at the stalls of other tribes, his eyes revealing curiosity.
After talking about the price, Pu Tai looked up and saw Ye Xi's eyes, and said with a smile: "We have been busy here, the first time you come, let's go and take a good look at the trading area." ”
Since Pu Tai said so, Ye Xi was no longer hypocritical, and after explaining, he turned around and walked towards the stalls of other tribes.
Walking in the trading area, Ye Xi looked around curiously like a country boy entering the city.
The variety of tribes opened his eyes.
For example, the tribe in front of you with a tortotem painted with a turtle.
The stall of this tribe is an incomparably large white turtle, and everyone sits on this white turtle, and the things to be traded are also placed on the turtle shell.
The white turtle remained motionless, half-closed, as if it had turned into a statue.
Ye Xi glanced at the giant turtle with curiosity, it was the first time he knew that the turtle could grow so big.
This tribe mainly trades in ornaments, and there are many ornaments of various materials on the tortoise shell. There are necklaces made of shells, headdresses made of animal teeth, and bracelets made of beautiful stones, all of which are very beautifully made, and I don't know how much better than the craftsmanship of the Tushan tribe.
Ye Xi stepped forward, picked up a bracelet made of transparent green crystal, and looked at it, and found that this green crystal was actually a green hair crystal in excellent condition.
"Buy a bunch?" The female tribesman sitting on the white turtle glanced at Ye Xi and found that Ye Xi was still young, so she said, "As long as five skewers of jerky are given to you Eminem, your Eminem will be very happy." ”
With such a cheap green crystal bracelet, there was no one to give it to him, Ye Xi shook his head regretfully, smiled apologetically at her, put down the bracelet and left.
After passing a few more stalls, Ye Xi stopped in front of a stall full of greenery.
The people of this tribe are very peculiar, and everything is made of green leaves.
The tribal flag is drawn on a large leaf, and the animal skin spread on the ground is also replaced by a few thick leaves, and even the clothes on the body are made of leaves, which are actually very exquisite and designed.
Ye Xi looked at their totems, which were three leaves intertwined.
A man with a delicate face saw Ye Xi standing and hurriedly greeted him warmly: "Can you try a cup of green dew, you only need a piece of flint or something of equal value." ”
"Qinglu?" Ye Xi stared at the wooden cups on the stall with interest.
The wooden cup contained a pale green translucent sap.
"You can smell it. Seeing that Ye Xi was interested, the man encouraged.
Ye Xi glanced at him, picked up the wooden cup and put it under his nose to smell it slightly, and a refreshing fragrance immediately came to his nose.
"Can I change it for salt?"
When the man heard that it was salt, he nodded hurriedly: "Of course you can, of course." ”
Ye Xi nodded, put down Qinglu in the man's disappointed eyes, and looked at the other things in their stall with interest.
When he saw a huge, fanged, very gorgeous flower, Ye Xi's eyes lit up, and he pointed at it and asked, "Is this ...... Cannibal flowers?"
"Yes, you're interested in it?"
The man was a sincere person, and he actually had a good idea of Ye Xi: "This man-eating flower was dug in the mountains half a month ago, and we wanted to sell it for a good price when we saw it beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be so edible!"
Speaking of this, the man's face suddenly became bitter, and he complained: "It's not enough to feed it ten catties of meat a day, and he still hums and chirps at us every day to eat, and he keeps drooling if he doesn't give it food!"
Ye Xiwan'er looked at the flowers.
The beauty of this peanut makes people love it at first sight.
But I don't know if it's because the weather is too hot, or because I'm hungry, the flower head is tilted to the side, and a mouth similar to a human mouth at the center of the flower is half-open, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and occasionally making a very anthropomorphic sound like "hum".
"How do you sell this flower?"
Hearing Ye Xi ask this, the man immediately came to his senses, and for so long, he was the first person to ask for a price after hearing that this flower was so edible.
"It's not expensive, fifty pieces of jerky...... No, forty pieces of jerky will do. ”
"Wait a minute. ”
After speaking, Ye Xi returned to the Tushan stall, took half a jar of salt and came to the stall again: "Look, is it enough to exchange half a jar of salt for a cup of green dew and this flower?"
The man took the salt shaker, his eyes lit up, and he dipped his fingers in a little white salt foam and handed it to his mouth: "Hey, this is salt?"
As soon as he said this, the other stall keepers immediately became agitated: "What, such white salt." ”
"Do you want to exchange this half jar of salt for green dew and man-eating flowers with us?" The handsome man was a sincere person, although he was very satisfied with the salt, and he couldn't wait to put it away immediately, but looking at Ye Xi, who was still immature, he still hesitated and said, "...... With such good salt, you won't suffer too much. ”
Ye Xi smiled and replied: "It's okay, this salt is produced by our tribe itself." ”
"Are you from the Huang Zhen tribe?"
Ye Xi shook his head: "It's the Tushan tribe." ”
As soon as they heard the answer, the people in this stall immediately exploded and shouted, "What, the Tushan tribe actually produces salt?"
"Is it expensive or not, I want to change some of such good salt. ”
"Just ask. ”
Seeing that the topic was crooked, Ye Xi: "You are welcome to go to Tushan to exchange salt, the innermost stall is, can I take them?"
"Wait a minute. The handsome man wrapped the man-eating flower in a piece of animal skin, handed it to Ye Xi with Qinglu, and advised, "Don't get close to it first, it will attack you, and after feeding it for a few more days, it won't bite you." ”
Ye Xi nodded with a smile and took them.
The handsome man looked at Ye Xi and felt that this handsome young man was very bold and had a good impression of him: "By the way, my name is Shan Ye, what is your name." ”
Ye Xi smiled lightly: "My name is Ye Xi, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Shan Ye's eyes lit up, this little boy actually had the word Ye in his name, which made him feel good even more: "Ye Xi, if you pass by our Ye tribe in the future, you are welcome to come to our tribe as a guest." ”
"Okay. ”
In Shan Ye's reluctant gaze, Ye Xi left the stall of the Ye tribe, holding a man-eating flower in his left hand, holding a wooden cup in his right hand and slowly sipping green dew, and continued to wander slowly in the trading area.
As soon as the pale cyan juice enters the mouth, there is a special fragrance spreading, like a grassy and fruity feeling, with a sweetness, very refreshing.
Then he bought a nest of green-skinned birds' eggs and a few flints, and when he felt that it was almost enough, he walked to his tribe's stall.
