The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 83 Gluttonous Bear Bai Ba
Bai Xi looked at the clean herbs displayed on the stall, but he didn't recognize many of them, so he asked Ling Chengen, who was holding a radish, "What are these herbs used for?"

Ling Chengen: "It has many uses, including expelling parasites, expectorating phlegm, relieving coughs and asthma, and treating constipation and aiding digestion..."

"Isn't your Hanshan region famous for its Agrimonia pilosa and Sanguisorba officinalis? If needed, we can exchange some for backup. We can also stock up on herbs that relieve phlegm and cough and dispel wind-cold. The demand for these types of herbs will be even greater during the cold season."

Agrimony and Sanguisorba officinalis are relatively common hemostatic herbs. She saw a lot of them in the forest when she went to Hanshan before.

Therefore, Shilin and Hanshan have never lacked hemostatic drugs.

However, deworming medicine and herbs for treating colds can only be found in more distant places.

Bai Xi pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That works too. We still have quite a few Sanguisorba officinalis and Agrimonia pilosa that we brought. Exchanging them for some medicine to treat colds and coughs would be a good option. However, I don't know much about medicine, so could you help me choose?"

Ling Chengen nodded: "Go and call Qingchuan over. He's a wood-type, and although his healing skills are average, his ability to identify medicinal herbs is quite good."

Seeing this, Bai Xi nodded: "What about you? Are you planning to change these too?"

Ling Chengen thought for a moment: "We have extra cypress leaves and indigo leaves with us, so why don't you ask them to bring some over as well?"

Arborvitae leaves and Isatis leaves are also hemostatic herbs, and they grow everywhere in the woods next to their house.

Upon hearing this, the large, bluish-gray rabbit sitting in front of the stall immediately stopped eating its carrot: "You really want to change? Then I'll go and call our clan leader."

Before Ling Chengen could say anything, the rabbit abandoned its stall and hopped away.

A few grayish-blue rabbits crouching in the distance glanced lazily in this direction before looking away, lying back down on the hay, and closing their eyes again.

After parting ways with Ling Chengen, Bai Xi headed towards their encampment.

Ling Chengen stared at the pile of white radishes on the ground, lost in thought.

White radish and Chinese cabbage were actually two of the most popular vegetables among early humans.

In the freezing winters of the north, these two vegetables can be stored in cellars for a long time, enriching the dining table throughout the winter.

Moreover, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, white radish can also moisten the lungs, relieve cough and resolve phlegm, and has a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on respiratory diseases such as colds.

It is a very good vegetable.

The white radishes grown by the Qingyun Rabbit Tribe were even better than those she had seen at the farmers' market.

It's particularly large.

I wonder if it's because everything became larger after we arrived in the Beast World.

She couldn't hold the waist of this white radish with both hands.

She weighed it in her hand and estimated it to be at least ten pounds.

I wonder what the price is for these radishes grown by the Qingyun Rabbit Clan, and how high their yield is.

If it's a high-yield radish, she plans to order tens of thousands of kilograms from this tribe before the cold season arrives.

The large rabbit, over a meter tall, quickly returned to the stall, having finished eating the carrot in its hand. Behind it followed a woman who was a little over 1.5 meters tall. The woman looked to be in her thirties, with a pair of drooping bluish-gray rabbit ears on her head. Her skin was yellowish, and she looked somewhat serious.

The big rabbit pointed to the woman behind him and said, "This is our Qingyun tribe's chief, Cao Qingqing."

The woman looked at Ling Chengen, who was tall and slender and exuded a sharp aura. Although she was somewhat surprised, she still greeted him and asked, "Are you willing to exchange hemostatic herbs for medicinal materials?"

"Hmm." Ling Chengen nodded. "But I don't know how you exchange them here?"

“You can exchange any three herbs here for one hemostatic herb.” Cao Qingqing pointed to the herbs on the ground. “These herbs were only prepared this month, so they need to be dried and turned over after we take them back to preserve them for a long time. That’s why it’s three for one.”

"Is your hemostatic herb dried?"

Ling Chengen nodded: "They are all processed dried herbs."

“If they are all prepared, we can exchange four for one.” Cao Qingqing nodded. “However, I need to check the quality of your hemostatic herbs first.”

Ling Chengen: "No problem, our people have already gone to get the medicinal herbs and will be here in a bit."

“Then I’ll wait here for a while. If the deal goes through, we can give you another hundred radishes,” said Cao Qingqing.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen raised his eyes and said, "I'd like to discuss a business deal with you regarding radishes."

Sitting on the haystack prepared by the big rabbit, Cao Qingqing looked up and asked, "Does your tribe live a mixed life of herbivores and carnivores?"

"There are herbivorous beastmen, but not many; most are carnivorous or omnivorous beastmen."

Even the tiger clan can eat plants, since they are beastmen and no longer purely animals.

How many radishes do you want to buy?

Ling Chengen asked, "How many can you produce?"

This was the first time Cao Qingqing had been asked such an interesting question. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "There are many, and I can't give you a specific number. We could fill up a dozen or so of those caves."

"Annual production?"

Green Grass: "This season."

"Our tribe consumes a lot of radishes, so most of the awakened abilities are wood or earth-based. Almost every household can grow their own radishes, and they can't eat them all year round. They take the rest to the trade market to sell. But not many orcs like to eat radishes. Most of them are small tribes that exchange some with us to change their taste."

"I don't want it now. I plan to order tens of thousands of kilograms of radishes from you before the winter season arrives."

Cao Qingqing hesitated for a few seconds: "Tens of thousands of jin, how much is that?"

The concept of weight units is not yet available on the Beast Plains, and most descriptions are rather vague.

Therefore, exchanging goods is quite troublesome, and some tribes will suffer some losses.

Ling Chengen weighed the large white radish in his hand and asked the system to help him weigh it.

The system quickly provided an assessment: "This radish weighs twelve pounds! It's huge! And it's juicy and highly nutritious; it's a true aristocrat among radishes."

Ling Chengen's lips twitched imperceptibly. He didn't have time to pay attention to the system for the time being and said to Cao Qingqing, "Jin is a unit of weight. This radish weighs about twelve jin. That is to say, before the cold season arrives, I plan to order at least 3000 of these radishes from you."

That would amount to about 30,000 to 40,000 jin (15,000 to

Cao Qingqing took the radish from Ling Chengen's hand and patted it in her hand: "This kind of radish is quite big, so we don't grow many. But since you don't want it now, we can plant it after the rainy season, so we can harvest a batch before the cold season comes. 3000 radishes isn't much, we can provide them."

How do you price your radishes?

Cao Qingqing thought for a moment: "We can accept the material exchange, or we can use Blue Crystal Shells for delivery."

“100 radishes equal one blue crystal shell, so 3000 radishes would be…” Cao Qingqing counted on her fingers for a while, and Ling Chengen, seeing this, said with a wry smile, “That’s 30 blue crystals.”

Cao Qingqing looked up and widened her eyes slightly: "You calculated so fast, you're so amazing."

"It seems to be 30 blue crystals..." She hadn't finished calculating, so she wasn't very sure.

Ling Chengen: "Take your time calculating. Do you need me to pay half of the blue crystals first? If you can't deliver 3000 radishes before the cold season, you'll need to return double the blue crystals I handed over. Is there a problem?"

Cao Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "No problem. We can send you the 3000 radishes after we harvest them. You can settle the remaining blue crystals then."

Growing carrots is a very simple thing for them rabbits.

Every year, we can't finish eating all the radishes, and we can't sell them all, so a lot of them go to waste.
This was the first time she had encountered a mixed-habitation tribe, and they had started ordering supplies for the cold season more than six months in advance. This young female seemed... quite farsighted indeed.

"Which tribe are you from?"

Ling Chengen said calmly, "I am Ling Chengen, the young clan leader of the Shilin tribe."

After saying that, she took out 15 blue crystal shells from her waist and handed them to Cao Qingqing. "Doing business requires integrity, so I don't like it when the agreed delivery time is approaching and the business partner suddenly backs out."

"If you encounter any difficulties, it's best to communicate with us in advance so that we can renegotiate our cooperation. If you back out at the last minute and resell the supplies you ordered to us to other tribes at a high price, I will absolutely not let it go."

"Chief Cao is the leader of the Qingyun tribe and should understand this principle. However, I will still speak frankly beforehand to prevent any future misunderstandings."

Cao Qingqing looked at the imposing Ling Chengen, paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will keep our promise."

Before she knew that she was the young clan leader of Shilin, Cao Qingqing never thought of ruining this business deal.

Knowing that she was Ling Chengen, Cao Qingqing dared not offend this seemingly young female even more.

This is a notorious and vicious female beast in the Northern Beast Plains.

However, she felt the rumors were too outrageous. Although the young female in front of her had a strong aura, she was not arrogant. On the contrary, she was measured and methodical in her actions.

Actually, calling such a pretty little female a "wicked female" is a bit harsh!
Cao Qingqing handed the radish in her hand to Ling Chengen: "This is a gift from Huo Lan. You can try it. The radishes from our Qingyun tribe are very famous in the Central Trade Market. They taste especially good."

"Actually, we grow more than just radishes. If you're interested, you can come with me to the cave over there."

The Qingyun tribe stayed at the Xima Market last night. There happened to be a large cave near their tribe's stall, so they piled all their supplies there. They were too lazy to move them around at night, so they simply stayed there.

After all, most of the supplies in the Qingyun tribe are vegetables and radishes, so even the wandering orcs are too lazy to rob them.

Those who dare to form nomadic orc gangs and rob and steal from various tribes are mostly fierce carnivorous or omnivorous orcs. This is because this beast plain also has its own stereotypes, such as that herbivorous orcs are too timid and destined to accomplish nothing great.

The wandering orc gang has very little demand for carrots, you could even say zero.

Of course, they wouldn't want to rob such poor, grass-eating tribes; it's time-consuming, laborious, and doesn't bring any profit.

It is precisely because the wandering orcs look down on their meager supplies that herbivorous orcs can so comfortably lie low and do nothing in such a dangerous market.

Ling Chengen took the radish and followed Cao Qingqing to the cave.

She discovered that although Qingyun's rabbits seemed rather slovenly, they brought quite a lot of vegetables to the trade market.

In addition to thousands of kilograms of radishes, they also brought a lot of cauliflower.

It's April now, the season when cauliflower is in abundance, and cauliflower is also on the rabbits' diet, so Ling Chengen wasn't too surprised to see mountains of cauliflower piled up in the cave.

While chatting with Cao Qingqing, Ling Chengen casually inquired about the location of the Qingyun tribe.

The territory of the Qingyun tribe is located in a valley, southeast of the Shilin tribe. There are few high mountains there, but mostly gentle hills and slopes. It is sunny, close to the river valley, and has fertile soil, making it very suitable for growing vegetables.

The Qingyun tribe is somewhat similar to the Yaoluo tribe; they also live in caves rather than above ground.

However, because the rainy season causes flooding, their tribe dug many underground caves, some in river valleys and some on hillsides.

In a sense, this can be considered as having three burrows.

Bai Xi quickly brought Qing Chuan over with the medicinal herbs, completing the exchange of supplies with the Qingyun tribe.

Before parting, Cao Qingqing asked Huo Lan to pack two hundred cauliflowers for them, but she didn't take a single blue crystal shell.

Bai Xi hooked her claws onto the large net woven from vines, carrying a huge pile of cauliflower back with her, and couldn't help but complain, "Why do you want these useless vegetables? Even though you said you didn't want the Blue Crystal Shells and it was a free gift, it's still a hassle to carry them."

"I suspect that Cao Qingqing must have had a lot of vegetables that she couldn't sell, and it would be too much trouble to take them back, plus they don't keep well, so she gave you this bunch of useless plants."

Ling Chengen sat on his back and patted him on the back of the neck: "Don't think of people as so despicable! Those Qingyun Rabbits can eat more than ten kilograms, or even dozens of kilograms, of plants a day. These two hundred vegetables are not even enough for their supply team to show off for a day!"

"They gave it to us out of kindness, so we should just accept it."

Bai Xi said dejectedly, "You're from the Tiger Clan! The Tiger Clan! Your Stone Forest isn't so poor that you have to eat vegetable leaves, is it? If your three useless beastmen really can't afford to support you, you can come to our Cold Mountain. I can definitely hunt and support you."

Ling Chengen slapped him again: "Do I need you to support me? Your hunting skills might not even be as good as mine."

"It's hard to say who will support whom between us!"

Bai Xi: "..."

"I'll make cauliflower for lunch. If you're so capable, then don't eat it and go catch your own fish," Ling Chengen said sarcastically.

Bai Xi thought for a while, then changed her previous disdain and said proudly, "I can try it. After all, I don't only eat meat. It's okay to eat some vegetables occasionally to change things up."

Ling Chengen: "..." Foul-mouthed, pretentious, stupid bird!

As it turns out, one shouldn't make promises lightly.

After the stir-fried cauliflower with sliced ​​pork was cooked at noon, Bai Xi ate the most.

The pork, with its alternating layers of fat and lean meat, is stir-fried until the oil is rendered, and then small pieces of cauliflower are added to the pan. Although very little salt is added, the stir-fried dish is still incredibly fragrant.

Even the supply team from the nearby White Bear Tribe, which was some distance away, couldn't resist wandering over to their cave, curiously inquiring about what they were making and how it smelled so good, almost making them dizzy with bear fragrance!

Chongzhen was walking back after washing his face by the river when he was suddenly grabbed by the chief of the White Bear tribe, who then hoisted him up and carried him behind a tree.

The fluffy polar bear pressed one paw against the trunk of the giant tree, while its dog peeked furtively into the cave from which the aroma was emanating.

"Tell me quickly, what exactly are you doing? Have you made some special hunting bait that you're planning to sell?"

“Brother Chongzhen, we’ve known each other for more than half a year now. You should think of your brother when it comes to good things like this. If it’s really bait for hunting, our tribe is willing to buy some to try it out.”

Looking at the longing gleam in those round little eyes, Chongzhen couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you sure you'll buy it to use for hunting, and not to eat yourself?"

Chief Baiba of the polar bear tribe looked away somewhat guiltily, swallowed hard, and said matter-of-factly, "I have to taste it first to be sure if I can fool the prey!"

Chongzhen thought for a moment: "Does your White Bear tribe still have any honey?"

Although Bai Ba was a little confused, he nodded honestly: "Yes."

“In exchange for honey.” Chongzhen smiled slyly, pushing aside the white bar that was blocking his way like a small mountain. “My wife has been wanting something sweet lately, so I’d like to get her some honey.”

"That aroma wasn't bait; it was food prepared for the orcs in the supply team."

“I can make it too. If you’re willing to trade honey for it, I can borrow a pot from the mistress of the house. You prepare the ingredients, and I’ll make some for you to try.”

Bai Ba hesitated for a moment: "What if it doesn't taste good?"

"Eat first, then we'll exchange." Chongzhen raised his hand and patted his round, furry belly, not intimidated by this nearly five-meter-tall furry polar bear at all. "Brother, I trust your character."

Bai Ba was instantly beaming with joy from the praise, almost losing his bearings.

The bear slapped its chest with a loud thud, exclaiming with boundless pride, "Don't worry, brother, as long as your stuff is really delicious, there'll be plenty of honey!"
