Orc Horde Upgrade System

Chapter 73 The Hidden Rich Man

When Xuan came to find Meng Yuqing, Meng Yuqing was kneading a pickle jar out of clay.

After more than a month of hard training, he is good at pinching things, and he no longer pinches weird shapes like before.

Seeing Xuan Chao walking by himself, he immediately raised his hand to greet Xuan, "Xuan! Didn't you follow Xia to do things today?"

After speaking, he looked at his hands full of mud and suddenly remembered what Ruya and the others had said about Xuan's dislike of mud, and immediately withdrew his hands.

"The father beast said that the orcs who went out to encircle and suppress the wandering orcs this time can rest for three days, and then participate in the tribe's affairs normally after three days."

Xuan didn't care about Meng Yuqing's small movements, walked over and squatted down next to him, "What are you pinching again? It looks a little different from the previous shape."

Meng Yuqing lowered her head and continued with her actions, "The jar is for pickles."

He wasn't going to ask Xuan to pinch with him.

"Pickled vegetables?" Xuan's eyes were full of doubts, "A new food?"

"It's not a new food, it's some processing of the wild vegetables picked back, which can be preserved for a longer time."

"Just like you told Yafu before that you can store bamboo shoots longer by drying them?" Xuan reached out and took a ball of clay and imitated Meng Yuqing and began to squeeze it, "I'll help you."

As he squeezed it, he recalled the night they found the bamboo shoots, Yuqing said that the bamboo shoots could be preserved for a long time after being processed.

After that, Yafu led the collection team to pick bamboo shoots for many days in a row, and stored them all according to this method for eating in winter.

When Meng Yuqing saw him pick up a ball of clay and started to knead it, her eyes widened and her hands stopped.

Could it be that Ruya and the others are lying to themselves?Not likely.

Or has it changed?

He won't suddenly come and beat himself up when he thinks about it later, will he?

Thinking of this, he looked down at his arms and legs. If he fought in his original world, he would definitely not be afraid.

But in this world, he couldn't help suspecting that if Qiuye got serious, he might not even be able to beat him.

Not to mention Xuan, he couldn't move even if he held him down with one hand.

He stared at Xuan in a daze.

Xuan was inexplicably looked at by him, his ears were a little red, and the hand that was pinching the clay paused slightly, and said a little puzzled.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you keep looking at me like this, did I make a mistake?"

"No, it's fine." Meng Yuqing shook her head resolutely and continued with her work.

After a while, he couldn't help it, and called out softly, "Xuan."

"Well, I'm here." Xuan lowered his head, the clay in his hands had already been kneaded into the prototype of a jar.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You said."

Meng Yuqing carefully observed Xuan's expression, "Ruya and the others told me earlier that you don't like mud sticking to your body, do you?"

He followed Xuan's every move.

Xuan, who heard this, suddenly paused.

Meng Yuqing moved aside without leaving a trace.

Seeing that Xuan's eyes were a little erratic, he replied vaguely, "Well... I don't like animal forms, it's all a matter of childhood."

Meng Yuqing understood, that's right, when she was young, she was ignorant and it was normal to love to fight around, but now that she is grown up, she will definitely not be so childish.

Feeling that her logic was complete, Meng Yuqing nodded, decided not to dwell on this matter, and turned to another topic, "If we want to pickle wild vegetables in large quantities, we need a lot of salt. Will the tribe have enough salt?"

He carefully looked at the salt used by the tribe, it was mineral salt.

"Are you worried about the lack of salt in the tribe? Don't worry about it. Our tribe is very powerful, and there will be no shortage of salt." Speaking of business, Xuan's expression was a little serious.

"It's not a question of whether there is a shortage, but it really needs a lot of salt, much more than we usually use." Salt is a very important material, and he doesn't know if the tribe's salt is enough to make pickles and bacon in large quantities.

"How much?" Xuan looked at him in surprise.

"Well... I can't tell. Anyway, the more the better, after the temperature drops in autumn, the wild beasts you hunted can be processed and stored until winter to eat, so you don't have to worry about breaking them before winter."

Hearing what Meng Yuqing said, Xuan's expression was much more serious than before.

Preserving food before winter is the most troublesome thing for them. They can catch many wild animals, but whether the animal meat can be preserved until the first snow falls is a big problem.

"Well, let me take you to see the salt of our tribe." He considered it carefully and said to Meng Yuqing.

"Okay, I still have a way to make salt, I won't let the tribe lack salt."

If the tribe's way of getting salt is unstable and the amount is not large, let Xuan take him out to find the sea and find the salt lake.

"Can salt still be made?" Xuan asked curiously.

Meng Yuqing nodded affirmatively, "If there is a sea or a salt lake, it can be made."

"Can you explain it carefully?" Xuan thought for a while and said to Meng Yuqing, there is never too much salt.

This time, Meng Yuqing was asked. He thought for a while and picked up the most obvious characteristics of Hai.

"It's very salty water, and there is a lot of it. Big rivers are like streams in front of the sea. Some lakes are also salty. If anyone in the tribe knows such places, please tell me and let me go. See if you can make salt."

It is best if you can find salt mines. Salt is a hard currency. It is also very convenient to carry and trade salt mines. You can bring it back to the tribe for purification and then find a hidden place to do it slowly. .

And if there is a stable way to get salt, it may attract some small tribes to join the Qingshan tribe.

Xuanyi thought about it seriously, "There is no such place near the tribe, nor near the Shijiao tribe and the Shuilin tribe. Then ask Fei to see if he knows. There are also old orcs in the tribe. They live very well. Maybe it will be known soon.”

"Okay, how did our tribe get the salt? Is it convenient to say this?"

Talking about this, Meng Yuqing suddenly remembered that he knew that the tribe had salt, but he had never asked how the salt came from.

He didn't dare to ask others, but if the other party was Xuan, it shouldn't matter if he asked.

"There is nothing inconvenient to say. Our tribe has a salt cave. There are quite a lot of salt rocks in it. I heard from my father that it has been used for more than ten years, and there is no shortage. We don't need to go out to change the salt. There is enough salt. eat."

Oh open!

Listening to Xuan's words, Meng Yuqing suddenly raised her head to look at Xuan, and crushed the clay that was about to be formed under her hands with all her strength.

I saw Xuan cast innocent and puzzled eyes, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." He lowered his head expressionlessly, adjusted the deformed clay in his hands, and complained secretly in his heart.

I'm sorry to bother you, I've thought about it so much, I just didn't expect you to be hidden rich people, it's my short-sightedness.
