Chapter Thirty-Eight: Full of Harvest (Seeking Follow-up)

"This is fish, food that can be eaten." Ji Ni explained with a smile.

"Can you eat it?" The white fox has never seen or eaten it, and some of it is not very clear.

Seeing this shriveled fish, although he believed that the man in front of him would not deceive him, he was still a little worried.

"This is really no problem, this is the food we ate on the road, not only that, but he is also salty, you can try it."

Ji Ni handed the salted fish to the patriarch of the White Fox Tribe, and the patriarch of the White Fox Tribe took the salted fish, and when he held it in his hand, he smelled the unique smell of salted fish.

He touched the surface of the salted fish with his fingers, and it was a little sticky.

Tearing off a small piece of salted fish meat and putting it on his tongue, he felt a strong salty taste on his tongue, which made his eyes light up instantly.

The smell of salt excites him, it's something he's been looking for to replace the blood of beasts, and he can feel his body craving it like crazy.

However, it soon occurred to him that such a precious thing might not be something that could be exchanged for the tribe's specialties.

It's winter, and salt, a necessity, is even more precious.

You must know that if you can't hunt in winter, there will be no source of animal blood, and if you lack salt intake, it is easy to be depressed and lose your appetite, which will then lead to various problems in the human body.

"How do you change this?" Although he knew that it might be exchanged for a population, he couldn't help but ask.

"Two fish are an adult female, and five fish are an adult male." To be honest, Ji Ni doesn't care if it's a man or a woman, anyway, Su Yu also said it, as long as it's a complete person.

Of course, it is naturally better to be an adult male.

This salted fish is a treasure, Ji Ni has never seen anything like this in Fang Kingdom.

And the white salt shocked Ji Ni even more, such a white salt, as well as delicate particles, made Ji Ni feel that this was not like salt. If he hadn't tasted it, he would have been incredulous.

If all these good things are traded, isn't there something even better that hasn't been traded? Ji Ni couldn't imagine what was more precious and better.

"Shhh The white fox couldn't help but gasp, which made him a little entangled.

After all, this salted fish is different from the clay pot, the clay pot can be passed on, and this salted fish is a consumable.

"Of course, we can trade other things in exchange." Ji Ni also felt that this seemed to be beyond the capacity of the other side, so he retreated to the next best thing and changed to something else.

"Ah, is it okay to use this hide?" The white fox took out a white hide, which was the fur of the white fox. There are many white foxes near their tribe, and they make a living by hunting white foxes.

"Yes, but five hides can be exchanged for a salted fish."

"Okay." Although the price is a bit high, it is very cost-effective compared to the population of the tribe.

Their tribe has a lot of white fox fur stocks, which have been accumulated for several years, and there are almost thousands of white fox furs.

"And how many are you going to change?" Ji Ni asked with a smile.

There were more than 20 baskets of salted fish they brought, and each basket contained about 10 salted fish.

"How much does it cost to swap all?" The white fox thought of the mountains of fur in his tribe, and those furs were enough for hundreds of salted fish.

Those furs weren't very rare to them, and they couldn't have been better for what the tribe needed.

"Count it yourself."

Ji Ni asked him to unload all the salted fish, and then asked him to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Soon, they finished counting.

As a result, these salted fish can completely empty their stocks.

However, the white fox still decided to change it all, and the salted fish is more important than these furs.

"We've all changed, and now I'll have someone move."

……

There were so many of them that they couldn't fit on horseback, and everyone had some white fox fur on their backs.

Although the tribe has a cart, they can't pull it out.

Because there is no smooth road in this wilderness, and until the road is built outside, the carriage will not be of use at all, and it will not be able to pull out.

"These are four grown women."

The white fox came over with four girls, looking white and clean, with thin arms and legs, as if they hadn't done much work.

"Are they adult women? Are you sure you're an adult? Ji Ni looked at them and didn't believe them.

"They're really adults, and they're very good at what they do." The White Fox Patriarch explained with a smile.

Ji Ni couldn't say anything, they didn't lack arms or legs, they just looked a little thinner.

He can't say the definition of adulthood, different places have different standards for adulthood, maybe the adult standard here is such an age.

"Okay then! Come here, a few of you! Ji Ni waved them over.

"Happy trading!" White Fox said with a smile that he was very satisfied with this transaction.

"Happy trading!"

Ji Ni also returned the salute.

"Let's go, Patriarch Bai, see you next time."

Ji Ni left with the caravan.

Now the caravan still has salt and pottery to trade, but after Ji Ni saw the animal skins in exchange, he still decided to return to the tribe and bring these animal skins back.

These hides take up too much space, and the burden on the caravan is also very heavy, so you can't run around with these furs, it's not that people can't stand it, but the horses can't stand it, after all, most of the luggage is carried by horses.

"Can you walk for half a day? If you can't do it on the road, just tell me. ”

Ji Ni looked at the four girls' weak appearances, and felt that they couldn't hold on and walked back to the tribe.

"Yes, if not, we'll say it." One of the girls spoke.

"Okay, let's go!"

……

The caravan set out on its way back to the tribe, and the short journey was quite fruitful.

"Do you think the four of them are adults?" Ji Ni asked Su Xun, who was walking next to him.

"Almost, I feel a little bigger than our Su Qing, Su Qing's girl is thirteen years old, and she doesn't look big. We're all sixteen-year-olds on our side, and they're supposed to be about the same, but they still look like they're underage. Su Xun thought of Su Qing and said with a smile.

"That'll do." Ji Ni breathed a sigh of relief, for him, as long as he became an adult, at least he met Su Yu's requirements.

The journey was fast, and the caravan needed to rush back to the tribe before night fell completely.

They held out for a long time, but when they were about to reach the tribe, they couldn't hold on.

"Then sit on your horses, you're almost to the tribe."

Ji Ni asked people to make some space on horseback for them to sit on. Now the sun is almost setting and night is falling. You need to hurry up, although you don't need to worry about the problem of fierce beasts in winter, but the temperature difference between day and night in winter is very large, and the temperature at night can drop dozens of degrees compared to the day.

Ji Ni didn't want to spend the night in the winter forest, he had experienced it many times, and that experience was definitely unforgettable.

Now he could clearly feel the cold, and after a night in the warm wooden hut of the tribe, he was a little longing.

Night fell completely, and Ji Ni saw the light of the fire in the distance.

Walking along the river, the light is getting closer and closer.

The horses also saw the light, and their speed increased markedly.

"Patriarch, the caravan is back!"

The patrolling clansmen saw the torches held by the caravan waving crosswise, and were stunned for a moment, this is the caravan is back, and he hurriedly ran to inform Su Yu after reacting.
