Traveling through the world of beasts: Encyclopedia System

He carefully opened the animal skin bag and showed it to his partner. After reading it, his partner was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out.

"Salt?! Why would they give us salt?! And so much of it!" The partner's voice suddenly rose, and then suddenly fell, fearing that this was some conspiracy.

Xiao Xiao laughed even happier: "We really came to the right place. In this tribe, as long as you do something, they will give you salt. If you can do something that others don't, you can make it yourself and sell it yourself. The salt you get can be used to pay off debts and buy houses."

Xiao leaned over to his partner's ear and said, "Then, for a full sixty years, this house will be ours! We can do whatever we want with it!"

His partner covered his mouth. Xiao always liked to keep things to himself and rarely talked to them so much. He was really happy.

"No one here will become a slave. Let's go to the square and pick some food you like!" Xiao happily led his family to the square.

The square was bustling with activity. Except for the area in the middle, there was ordinary food prepared by the tribe. It had almost no seasoning, but it was fresh and cheap.

There are also some scattered stalls around. Those are all run by skillful sub-beasts. After buying food, they make it themselves. The taste is better, but the price will be more expensive.

Xiao was not used to using salt to exchange for things, and he didn't know how much he could get in exchange for the salt. He first went to the tribe's stall, ready to exchange some food to fill his and his partner's stomachs.

A piece of roasted meat and some golden stuff, which in this tribe is called bread, and some not-so-white steamed buns next to it.

When he took out his salt, he was still a little nervous. He didn't expect the sub-beast standing behind the stall to smile: "I can see that you are new here! Give me the bag and I will weigh it for you. What do you want to eat?"

Xiao scratched his head. He couldn't understand what was written on the signs in front of the food, so he asked, "What do these mean?"

Ya Shou smiled and said, "These are labels. They all have the prices of the food on them. You don't know these words yet. We have classes every week to learn these words. You will know them after you stay for a while."

She suddenly noticed the children following Xiao: "You have cubs! That's great. We haven't seen cubs in a long time."

The sub-beast in charge of this stall today is a chatty guy. He was almost depressed by the wandering orcs, but luckily he was rescued by Huanchuan and the others.

Apart from work, she now spends her days dating her future partner. It was Huan Chuan who taught them this term, telling them not to rush into becoming partners, but to observe carefully before confirming the relationship.

This period of observation is called dating.

They didn't understand, but they also knew that they couldn't trust an orc easily. Moreover, the process of looking forward to meeting the person they liked every day was still very interesting.

Yashou introduced to Xiao and the others what these things were and their prices. Xiao had no idea about the weight of these things, so he just ordered a few of them at random. He didn't expect that the amount was enough to fill him and his partner with only a small amount of salt.

"You can go shopping again. Most of the stalls are more expensive than here, but they taste good. You can buy some for your cubs to try." Yashou wrapped the food in leaves and tied it with a thin hemp rope and handed it to Xiao.

Xiao took the remaining salt and took the children for a walk nearby.

There were shouts and laughter everywhere. Some were couples out for a walk, some were lovers out on a date, and Lu Xi was dragging Lu Mo around and teaching him various things.

There was no structure to it. I just taught whatever I saw. Sometimes when I couldn’t remember how to write a word, I would ask an adult next to me.

Xiao looked at these scenes and felt as if he was seeing scenes from a dream.

The children were a little timid but always curious. They held hands, followed their parents, and poked their little heads out to look around.

They stopped in front of a stall and the owner greeted them warmly.

Xiao changed two skewers of grilled meat skewered on tree branches. The taste of this thing was indeed much better than that provided by the tribe’s stalls. The children took a bite and immediately opened their eyes wide with joy.

The two children shared a skewer, and after eating, they looked back at the stall reluctantly.

Xiao went to two more places, and the children tasted a lot of food and ate until their stomachs were full.

Xiao looked at the little salt left and felt unusually satisfied.

Everyone of them could eat their fill, the children could have delicious food, and there was even some salt left over. If he worked harder, maybe he could pay off his debts and buy a house soon.

Just as he was thinking this, his partner touched his hand and said, "Tomorrow, I will go to work too, and we can pay off our debts as soon as possible and have our own home."

Xiao hugged his lover: "Yes, this is enough, enough."

"No, this is still not enough."

Huan Chuan was almost scratching his head. Although the ocean was rich in resources and they didn't need to worry about food at all, without vitamins in the winter, their bodies would soon have problems.

Even with pickles, it's still a big problem in winter.

"We have to open up the land and plant enough food soon, otherwise what will we do when the time comes?"

Huan Chuan was so anxious that he was running around in circles, but Ye was not worried at all: "Just do whatever you want to do."

"No, I don't know what to grow here. It's too late to plant now. Besides, where in the city is there enough space for us to grow crops? We also need to prepare fertilizers..." Huan Chuan grabbed his hair. He had shaved off part of his hair with a knife before, and now it looked bumpy and not very good-looking.

But in this primitive world, he really doesn't have the energy to care whether he looks good or not.

"I should have checked what measures the Tiandi tribe had taken last time!" Huan Chuan was going crazy. Ye ate all the food in his hand and then hugged Huan Chuan's waist.

"Don't think so much. Don't we always do it first and then find a solution?" Ye kissed Huanchuan's cheek with his greasy mouth.

Huan Chuan pushed his face away: "It's not that simple. If the labor spent on land reclamation is not proportional to the return, the problem will be even bigger!"

Although he was ready to fight with those people, he now wanted to back down.

Ye bit his ear and said, "Can't we still trade? Can't we do more trade with other tribes before winter?"

This is certainly a method, but it still has risks.
