A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Chapter 129: Starting to Set Up a Stall

As soon as they reached the door, they were stopped. Standing at the door was a burly orc who said arrogantly, "Entrance fee."

Hu Yi nodded and motioned Hu Shan to go forward to pay the fee. Hu Shan did as he was told and handed the supplies he had prepared in advance to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper orc originally didn't think that this small tribe could produce anything good. However, when Hushan took the cloth out of the animal skin package, his eyes immediately lit up and he looked very excited.

You know, although cloth is not as precious as salt, it is much better than animal skins. After all, in this era, making cloth is still a technical job and consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. Therefore, the value of cloth is also quite high.

As for the entrance fee, there are different levels. If you choose to use salt as the entrance fee, it is naturally the best, because salt is a scarce and important resource.

However, most people come here to exchange salt. Except for the Central Plains, which is rich in salt and uses salt as an entry fee, other tribes are not so generous.

The salt used in several wastelands is brought to the market from the Central Plains every trading day. They use salt, the most scarce material in the wastelands, as supplies, and trade most of the materials in the wastelands at a low price, and bring them back to the Central Plains in exchange for more materials.

In this regard, the people in the wilderness did not dare to complain, because there was no salt in the wilderness. Even though they knew they were being cheated, they could only endure it.

Most of the tribes that come to trade on the day use animal skins as the entrance fee, which requires fifty high-quality animal skins, and they are not well received.

Since the beginning of this trading day, only the Red Fox tribe of the Sangma tribe has used cloth as an entry fee. Moreover, they only have ten pieces of cloth as an entry fee, and the rest is made up of animal skins. Not only that, the texture of these cloths is not as good as the cloth brought by the orc named Rising Sun City.

All of a sudden, his favorable impression of Rising Sun City increased a lot. Although he was a little confused as to why they gave the tribe such a strange name, he was willing to give priority to exchanging some of the entrance fees received that day from them at a low price.

Therefore, the gatekeeper also had some good feelings towards the orcs of Rising Sun City, and his attitude and tone of voice were no longer as arrogant as before: "If you want to use cloth as the entrance fee, you need twenty pieces of cloth, but you can only be arranged in a back position.

Of course, if you want a better position, you can pay ten more pieces of cloth, and I will help you get a better position in the front, what do you think? "

Hushan looked back at Huyi, asking for his opinion with his eyes. After seeing Huyi nod in agreement, Hushan gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and took out ten pieces of cloth from his animal skin bag again. He quickly handed the ten pieces of cloth to the gatekeeper and immediately put the animal skin bag away, pretending that he would never let anyone take a piece of cloth from him again.

The gatekeeper took the cloth speechlessly, then handed a wooden sign serving as entry permit to Hushan, and ordered the younger brother beside him to lead them into the market.

As the fence slowly opened, the group finally stepped into the market. Su Ling was full of curiosity and looked around excitedly. The space at the entrance was relatively spacious and sparsely populated, but the deeper they went, the denser the crowd became and the more crowded it became.

The tribes that arrived early had already occupied advantageous positions and had neatly arranged the supplies they had brought with them. Some tribes chose to sit on the ground in the open air, placing items randomly on the ground and waiting for customers to come and trade; while some tribes with more assets would set up tents.

Hu Yi held Su Ling's hand, fearing that she would accidentally fall because of her curiosity. When she was almost hit by something again because she didn't look at the road, Hu Yi couldn't help but remind her helplessly, "Watch the road. This is not in Rising Sun City. There are flat concrete roads. Be careful not to step into a pit."

Su Ling stuck out her tongue, "Don't we still have you?"

"Then you should be careful. The market where you used to live must be bigger than this one. Why are you still so curious?"

"This is different. This is my first time attending a fair organized by an orc. Of course, everything is new to me."

Hu Yi nodded, it was indeed quite fresh.

Before long, the group arrived at the center of the market.

The orc who led the way left on his own after they arrived. Without taking much rest, everyone put down the supplies they brought and sorted them out in an orderly manner.

When the surrounding tribes saw the new tribe, they couldn't help but look at them curiously, wondering what supplies they brought to trade.

"Ada, you said that this tribe only has so few people, but they can exchange for such a good position. I wonder what supplies they brought. Aren't they afraid of being robbed?" An orc with a wild look of about 18 or 19 years old said to the fierce-looking orc next to him.

"No matter what they have, we'll know when we go and take a look. Whether they can protect their supplies is not something we should worry about." The fierce orc said indifferently.

The whispers around were heard by the busy people from time to time. Some people were enjoying the show, while others were dismissive. No one listened to those words. Anyway, if someone dared to provoke them, they would let those people know what strength is respected and what the law of the jungle means.

However, there are always some people whose naked and undisguised greed is disgusting.

"Chief, Su Ling, someone is watching us over there!" Hushan looked in that direction with dissatisfaction.

"Don't pay attention to them, let's set up the tent quickly, then put the supplies in place and prepare to start the exchange." Su Ling comforted.

After hearing this, Hushan nodded and stopped paying attention to those people, concentrating on setting up tents with others.

Soon, everyone quickly set up the animal skin tent and placed the supplies inside one by one.

"Chief, is this enough?" Hushan asked.

"Well, the next step is to wait for people from other tribes to come and exchange things with us." Hu Yi nodded.

Hu Shan rubbed his hands excitedly: "I hope I can get a lot of good things this time."

Su Ling smiled and said, "As long as we have enough supplies, we can definitely exchange for what we need."

After the items were put in place, everyone went to the back of the tent to change their clothes and to advertise their products.

At this time, someone came over, looked around the tent, and finally looked at Hu Yi and Su Ling. He didn't expect that there were not many orcs from this tribe who came to trade, and they also brought a female with them. He asked curiously, "What do you have here?"

The people who came were the wild boy and his brother. The boy looked around and was very interested in many things in the tent. They were things he had never seen in the market, but they were not unavailable in Central China.
