The pampered life of a woman in the beast world's paradise

"It's 10% of the salt every year, plus a 50% discount on salt for personal use." Bai Yu explained helplessly.

"We are investing in technology, and only taking 10% of their production is already very low, so we also asked for a 50% discount on salt purchases."

Zi Mei nodded, "That means the mermaids produce 10,000 kilograms of salt every year, and we get 1,000 kilograms for free. What if they only produce 1,000 kilograms a year? Wouldn't that only be 100 kilograms?"

Bai Yu held his forehead, this idiot really has his wisdom in the wrong direction, he seems to be clueless when it comes to business. Fortunately, he is at home, otherwise, I can't go out to discuss business with my little female, it's so embarrassing.

"Do you think that after the price of salt drops, the annual consumption of the entire Soul Pattern Continent will be less than 10,000 kilograms? Just think about how much salt my family consumes this year. Think about the salt consumption of Beast King City. In the future, the salt consumption of major tribes will probably be close to that of Beast King City."

Zi Mei calculated in his mind that when he grilled or fried meat, he would use about one pound of salt for every 100 pounds of meat. If he went out hunting every day, the consumption would increase, and he would eat at least 300 to 400 pounds of meat a day. This would require about 6 pounds of salt. So their family consumed about 13 pounds of salt every day. Well, after all, Bai Yu seemed to be able to eat a little more than him.

Of course, these purple spirits were all thinking crooked things in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to say them out loud, or they would be beaten.

If calculated this way, the salt consumed by their family of three every year just for eating meat is nearly 5,000 kilograms. And the little female also likes to pickle some vegetables, and now she has to make bacon. The consumption of salt is really too high. If there is no way to make salt, he and Bai Yu can't afford so much salt even if they are at a higher level.

At that time, they will have to give priority to satisfying females, and they will have to return to a life of eating raw meat. It’s scary to think about it!

Zi Mei shuddered and quickly gave Bai Yu a thumbs up, indicating that he had to make the deal. If he did it himself, he could probably get rid of the deal with just a thousand kilograms of salt.

They didn't have to wait long before Yu Mo sent someone back with several large animal hide bags filled with local specialties.

"Come here, Lord Winged Tiger, and the noble little female. These are all the sincerity of our mermaid tribe, please be sure to accept them. If there are any underwater specialties you want in the future, just give us a call and we will do our best to get them for you." Yu Mo enthusiastically opened the large animal skin packages and handed them over.

Of course, the most abundant items here are all kinds of large deep-sea fish, and there are also snacks that Xu Anan ate happily before, such as kelp and jellyfish. The last animal skin bag is the most valuable, and it actually contains red coral and the new shark yarn produced by the mermaids this year.

The smile on Xu Anan's face had never disappeared since the first animal skin bag was opened. This made Yu Mo very happy, which meant that this gift touched her heart.

Xu Anan and her family returned home with a full load.

After they left the market, the mermaids also began to take action.

They began to buy up all kinds of condiments in large quantities, which made the herbivorous tribe make a lot of money again.

At the same time, the mermaid tribe issued a notice that when the wind season begins, salt will be provided in large quantities, and the price will be reduced, and there will even be discounts for large quantities.

This made the orcs from all tribes very happy, and even the transactions in the following days were filled with a joyful atmosphere.

The mermaid tribe also began to become extremely busy.

After determining that the solar-dried salt method was feasible, they found a suitable island specifically for making sea salt.

Almost all the male orcs in the tribe went out to make salt, and even the half-grown cubs joined in the salt-making.

When Xu Anan returned home, it was already dark. The workers in the canyon had already gone home from get off work.

However, they neatly piled the peeled and cut sugarcane on the clean stone platform, put the melon seeds neatly together, and even put the chopped meat into their own bowls. There was no garbage around, it was clean, even cleaner than a modern workshop.

Xu Anan put all of these into the space, and put out the amount for tomorrow's work. But this time, there was no animal meat, as they already had a lot of chopped meat.

She put a lot of sweet potatoes and prepared to make dried sweet potatoes. She would let these working animals peel, boil the sweet potatoes, cut them into strips and dry them in the sun.

Zi Mei suddenly had the urge to make dumplings for dinner. The reason was that there was too much meat filling and she wanted to use up some of it.

Haha… just kidding, he was actually craving for dumplings. He especially liked the taste of dumplings dipped in hot and sour sauce.

As for how the hot and sour sauce came about, it's pretty simple. Chef Purple invented it himself after getting the lemon!

So the whole family joined in, Bai Yu was responsible for rolling the dumpling skins, Zi Mei was responsible for preparing the meat filling, and Xu Anan sat at the table and was responsible for making dumplings.

It's a very warm scene. Especially under the illumination of the night pearl, the gentle smiles on everyone's faces are enough to depict a vivid picture of family harmony.

Of course, Zi Mei and Bai Yu also helped to make dumplings in the end. Otherwise, with Xu Anan’s speed, even if she made them quickly, she wouldn’t be able to make enough for the two big eaters.

When the dumplings were finally served, Zi Mei gave everyone a plate of soul dipping sauce. Of course, he and Bai Yu each had a bottle of spare dipping sauce. After all, one plate of sauce was not enough for the two of them.

Just when everyone was getting ready to eat, Xu Anan suddenly ran to the trash can and started vomiting.

Bai Yu quickly put down his chopsticks and went over to check her body.

Zi Mei also followed anxiously, her eyes constantly turning back and forth between the little female and Bai Yu, hoping that Lao Bai would give an answer quickly.

Xu Anan vomited until she was vomiting acid water before she slowly stopped. Her watery almond eyes looked at Bai Yu without blinking. She also wanted to know what happened to her today.

The corners of Bai Yu's mouth twitched. He wanted to smile, but when he saw the pale face and watery, slightly red almond eyes of the little female, he felt so distressed that he couldn't smile at all.

Zi Mei pushed him and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Lao Bai, please say something! Are you trying to drive the beast crazy?"

"Ahem~ That's right~ Anbao is pregnant, less than a month."

Bai Yu's words shocked the other two.

Xu Anan was delighted because she finally had a baby who was related to her by blood.

Zi Mei was mostly sighing, sighing that the little female was finally pregnant and he didn't have to eat vegetarian food every day anymore. You know, he had only watched and listened during this period but couldn't eat. If this continued, he felt that it would be a problem whether he would be able to get up in the future.

"Then is An An experiencing morning sickness so early?" Zi Mei had heard when she was in the tribe that pregnant females were prone to morning sickness and vomiting.

"Hmm~ Maybe it was the dumplings or the dipping sauce that stimulated it. How do you feel now, Anbao? Is there anything else you want to eat?"

Xu Anan shook her head, "I still feel uncomfortable. Now I don't want to eat dumplings when I think of them. I also have some acid reflux."
