Chapter 26 The Primitive World 4
Chapter 26 The Primitive World 4
About three hours later, Wen finally returned with his people.
Four people, carrying bulging animal skin bundles on their backs, strode into the shop with beaming smiles.
"Money, we're back."
Lin Xiaoqian and Xi, who were tired of drawing, were watching cartoons when they turned around at the sound.
As soon as Wen entered the store, he saw the walls glowing and people moving inside.
They were immediately terrified and exclaimed, "A god has descended!"
Quickly get everyone down to lie down.
Lin Xiaoqian was a little helpless. Xi quickly ran over and pulled her sister up: "Sister, it's not a god, it's an animation."
"Animation?" Wen asked, looking puzzled.
Xi explained with exaggerated gestures for a long time before Wen got up with some doubt. Seeing that the gods on the wall did not blame them, Wen was slightly relieved.
Lin Xiaoqian quickly stepped forward and asked, "Wen, how many mushrooms did you pick?"
Mentioning this, Wen couldn't stop smiling: "We found so many mushrooms."
He then instructed the three Ah Shus to open the animal skin bundles, revealing large clusters of Ganoderma lucidum inside.
There are not only Ganoderma lucidum, but also some wild fruits and fungi, though not many.
Wen pointed to the wild fruits and mushrooms: "You said you wanted us to bring back some other fruits and mushrooms, so we picked some that we thought we could trade and brought them back for you to see. If there are any that we can trade, we'll go pick more later."
Looking at the various kinds of mushrooms and fruits in front of her, including a ginseng root as thick as a child's forearm, Lin Xiaoqian's breathing became a little heavy.
But she wasn't a botanist and didn't know many things, so she called the system.
"System, you should know what these are, right?" She remembered that the system had corrected her earlier when she thought they were scallions.
"Host, the system can detect and identify plant species."
"Great!" Lin Xiaoqian picked up a plant that looked like grass and asked, "What is this? Is it grass?"
The system's answer was methodical: "Golden Thread Orchid, also known as Golden Thread Orchid, is a terrestrial orchid belonging to the Orchidaceae family... It is small and beautiful, with elegant leaf shape and extremely high ornamental value... Its anti-aging activity and trace elements are higher than those of wild American ginseng... It has the functions of clearing heat and cooling blood, removing dampness and detoxifying..."
Lin Xiaoqian was getting a headache listening to this, and interrupted, "Alright, just tell me, how much can I sell it for if I take it back?"
System: "...The host won't be able to sell it for money when he gets back."
Lin Xiaoqian said "Oh," realizing it wasn't worth much.
Just as I was about to throw it away, the system said, "This is a Class II protected plant in the host's country, but the host can try selling it in other worlds."
what! ?
Lin Xiaoqian almost dropped the golden thread orchid in her hand. "System, you're really a torturer! Can't you just get to the point? Just tell me if you can sell it or not, and how much you can sell it for."
system:……
Then Lin Xiaoqian continued to bring other plants for the system to test.
"Wild pine and fir Ganoderma lucidum can be sold for 1500 RMB per kilogram."
"Black argan mushroom, can be sold, RMB per pound."
"Chive mushrooms..."
“Xianmao…”
"Mountain grape..."
"Phyllanthus..."
"Raspberry..."
After spending some time identifying and classifying the items, Lin Xiaoqian rubbed her aching back and slowly stood up.
When she got up, she saw Wen looking at her expectantly, while the others had already been pulled aside by Xi to watch TV.
"Most of them can be traded, but some are useless weeds."
He pointed to some rare plants and fruits: "If you see these again, you can trade them with me."
As he spoke, he casually picked up a wild fruit about the size of his thumb, wiped it briefly, and put it in his mouth. It was quite good, sweet and sour.
"One bowl of this fruit is equivalent to one mushroom." He said, then went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl.
I put some wild berries in and tested it; it filled about two bowls. Then I said to Wen, "That's equivalent to two mushrooms."
As for the others, Lin Xiaoqian was too lazy to assess their value. Each plant was treated the same as the Ganoderma lucidum, and for the time being, the Ganoderma lucidum was used as a common currency.
After calculating, Wen brought back about 100 Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, each around 50 grams. Adding these to the Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms they already had, they had a total of 170 mushrooms.
After removing the 62 who ate lunch, they were left with 108.
Lin Xiaoqian quickly calculated the result, earning Wen a look of admiration.
The money wasn't counted with stones or knots; the result was calculated so quickly.
She wasn't worried that Lin Xiaoqian was lying to her. After all, these were things that could be found anywhere in the forest. Being able to exchange them for something like salt was practically free money.
Wen used the remaining 108 Ganoderma lucidum to exchange for 10 packets of salt, and exchanged all 58 mushrooms for braised pork to take on the road. He picked a few large leaves and wrapped the braised pork inside.
Seeing that it was getting late, Wen decided to lead his men on their way. They needed to find a cave to rest before nightfall, otherwise it would be difficult to find a place to rest for the night if they didn't leave soon.
Besides, this place is a money pit, and it's not good for them to stay here forever.
Wen called out to the others to leave, and they all felt reluctant to part with him.
It's clean and dry here, with delicious food and amazing animations.
No one wanted to leave, but they knew they weren't from the same tribe as Qian, and different tribes had strong territorial instincts. So they left the shop, looking back every few steps.
After taking a few steps, one of the men, Yong, suddenly told Wen that he had forgotten something at Lin Xiaoqian's place and needed to go back to get it.
After obtaining Wen's consent, he turned around and went back to Lin Xiaoqian's shop.
Lin Xiaoqian stared in disbelief at the dark-skinned man with muscular arms in front of her: "What did you say?"
Yong said proudly, "I am the most majestic and powerful male in the argali tribe. No one can hunt better than me. I am willing to go back to your tribe with you and be your mate."
As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Xiaoqian's chest. Although it was a bit small, she wondered if it would be good for bearing children. However, she could accept it if she could eat salt and braised pork every day.
Lin Xiaoqian didn't react at first to such a direct look.
After realizing what had happened, a surge of anger welled up inside Lin Xiaoqian. She tried her best to control her emotions, constantly telling herself: He's a primitive man, he's a primitive man, he has no manners, don't stoop to his level.
Then, taking a deep breath, she forced a smile and said through gritted teeth to Yong, "I'm sorry, I don't plan to find a partner at the moment."
Yong felt somewhat disappointed and regretful upon hearing this.
However, primitive people were very straightforward. If they liked each other, they would hold hands and go into the cave together. If they didn't like each other, then they would just break up.
Yong nodded: "Alright then, but we'll be passing through here on our way back from the exchange festival, so you can think about it some more."
Then he turned and left without looking back.
Lin Xiaoqian watched his retreating figure and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "I! Won't! Consider! It!"
I don't know if Yong heard it or not.
Lin Xiaoqian rubbed her forehead, feeling somewhat powerless. The primitive world was truly straightforward and wild.
As darkness fell, no one else came.
Lin Xiaoqian sighed. There were already few primitive people, and they were scattered around. If it weren't for the exchange festival that happened to be here, he probably wouldn't have met Wen and the others.
I don't know if I can successfully complete the mission this time.
Lin Xiaoqian stood up, yawned boredly, turned off the TV, and prepared to close the shop.
Suddenly, someone outside the shop shouted, "Chief, there's a big tree hole over here, and there's light inside!"
