When Yan Yi and Lu Tai and his group of orcs finished touring the ship, they were obviously still not recovered from their shock.

It was not until they walked a short distance on the shore that Lu Tai woke up from his dream: "You Yaobei City are too powerful. I feel like we are not orcs living in the same world. Minister Yan Yi, can the animal skins worn by your females be traded?"

Yan nodded: "Of course, but you have to go to our Yaobei City to trade."

Yiyun stood beside the campfire and said in a deep voice: "Yanyi, bring the Lutai leader and the others over to have dinner together."

Lu Tai was flattered: "Thank you, Lord Yiyun. We in the Long Neck Tribe eat leaves." He was a little embarrassed, "Besides, we have nothing to trade with you now."

Yan Yi: "City Lord Yiyun invites you to eat, so there is no need to trade. If you don't try our food, you will regret it. Even if you like to eat leaves, you females will definitely like our food."

When they heard that females would like it, Lutai and the others hesitated.

Wall-E was very enthusiastic: "Friends from the Long Neck Tribe, come, have a barbecue with us."

The deer beastmen looked at the campfire with both desire and fear.

Wall-E stretched out his hand and waved it over the fire: "Don't worry, this fire is not scary. Someone is watching it and it won't harm the forest."

Lu Tai and the orcs carefully sat down in front of the campfire. When they saw the female beside Yiyun, Lu Tai and the other orcs were stunned for a moment, then lowered their brows.

Lu Tai bowed his head slightly: "Meet the City Lord's wife."

Chen Shiyue smiled and said, "You are welcome, Chief Lutai. This is the most common food in our Yaobei City, barbecue. You can try it."

Yan Yi and his friends handed the skewered fish or animal meat to Lu Tai and his friends, and asked them to learn how to grill the meat over the fire.

Chen Shiyue looked at the deer beastmen with a smile as she sat with Yan Yi and the others. The necks of these deer beastmen were indeed quite long, which looked a bit strange at first glance, but you’ll get used to it after looking at them more often.

Yiyun looked at Lutai and asked, "Didn't the Long Neck Tribe participate in the Qingqing Grassland Trade Fair before?"

Lu Tai shook his head: "I haven't been there for many winter seasons. The trade fair doesn't have what we need, and other tribes don't really need our tribe's things."

Chen Shiyue was curious: "Don't you females need things from the outside world?"

Lu Tai didn't dare to look at Chen Shiyue, and lowered his eyes slightly: "I used to think it was not necessary, but I just saw that the furs on the City Lord's wife and Yan Yi's chief companion Li were beautiful and comfortable. I think our females should also wear such good furs."

Chen Shiyue: "Why didn't you need it before?"

Lutai: "Although we orcs eat leaves, we also hunt, so we females also have animal skins to use. Moreover, we females have no shortage of plants and fruits to eat, so we don't need to go outside to trade."

Chen Shiyue: "Does your tribe live near here?"

Lutai shook his head: "No, it's actually a bit far, we are on that mountain." He gestured.

Chen Shiyue only saw darkness. It turned out that the sky had become completely dark without her noticing.

Yan Yi: "Yangguang and I ran to the foot of the mountain over there and met the leader of Lutai and his group, and then I invited them to come."

Lu Tai: "I was in the woods on the mountain and saw strange things walking in the water from afar. I also saw flying beasts in the sky, so I wanted to go down the mountain to take a look. Then I ran into Chief Yan and his group."

Yiyun: "Are you the only people from the Long Neck Tribe living in the mountains and forests around here?"

Lu Tai: "Yes, we seldom encounter orcs from other tribes." He sniffed and looked carefully at the skewers of meat in his hand. They smelled so good.

Yan Yi: "Chief Lutai, you can eat the skewers in your hand, and you can eat yours too."

The deer beasts carefully put the barbecue into their mouths, then widened their eyes in surprise, looked at the skewers carefully, and then began to gobble them up.

After finishing the skewer in his hand, Lu Tai felt embarrassed and said, "I have never eaten meat cooked over fire before. I didn't know that meat tastes better than leaves."

Chen Shiyue: "We have many kinds of food in Yaobei City. Not only carnivorous orcs like to eat it, but also herbivorous orcs and females like it even more. The reason why barbecue like this is so delicious is because we put salt in the meat."

Lutai: "You mean you put salt rock in it?"

Chen Shiyue nodded.

Lu Tai was surprised: "Isn't salt stone bitter?"

Chen Shiyue: "Our salt rock has been processed, so it is not bitter."

Yan Yi and the others handed over some fish to Lu Tai and the others to grill. Lu Tai was a little embarrassed: "We have already eaten a lot of your grilled meat."

Yan Yi: "It's okay, take it. This is fish meat, the meat of the thorn beast in the river. There are no beastmen catching it here, so there are a lot of them. You can catch more after you finish eating it."

Chen Shiyue: "Leader Lutai, what do you want to trade for this animal skin clothing I'm wearing?"

Lu Tai thought for a moment and said, "The only things we can offer are animal skins, or dried fruits that the females eat. Oh, and there is also a kind of fragrant tree fruit that cannot be eaten. The females in our tribe like to carry it with them, or put it in the corner of the cave. It smells good all day long."

Chen Shiyue's eyes lit up: "What kind of fragrant tree fruit?"

Shikadai: "A dried fruit with many sharp corners."

Chen Shiyue's heart moved. Could it be star anise? She was overjoyed: "This can be used for trading." Even if it is not star anise, it can bring fragrance and is also good as a spice.

Lutai: "I ate a lot of your barbecue tonight. At dawn next sunrise, I will send you a bag of fragrant tree fruits."

Yiyun looked at Lutai and said, "Do you want to live a better life? For example, you can eat barbecue every day, or other better food instead of eating leaves every day."

Lu Tai's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "We don't know how to preserve fire, and we don't have salt stone."

Two flints appeared in Chen Shiyue's hands: "This is the fire, Yanyi, you teach the leader of Lutai how to use the fire." As she said that, she threw the two flints to Yanyi.

It is very easy to light a fire with a flint. Lu Tai and the others can do it after just one look. Then they look at the flint in Yan Yi's hand with eagerness.

Yan Yi: "A pair of flints and a piece of animal skin."

Lu Tai nodded: "I will send the animal skins after daybreak. Do you still have the salt stone? Can you trade some to us?"

Yan Yi: "The salt stone needs to be traded in our Yaobei City."

Yiyun: "Chief Lutai, you take the orcs to our Yaobei City, follow the river, it is less than three sunrises away from here. If you like our life in Yaobei City, you can go and study. We in Yaobei City can help you build your tribe on flat land closer to the river. You only need to provide us with a certain amount of dried fruits or other things in the next ten winter seasons."

Yan Yi: "Don't rush to refuse, Lutai leader. Wait until you go to Yaobei City to take a look before making a decision. If we are not here, you can find the two deputy city lords of our Yaobei City."

When Lu Tai and his friends left, they were all very satisfied with their meal. Not only were they full, they also took some barbecue back with them.

At dawn the next morning, Lu Tai brought some dried fruits and animal skins with the orcs, and agreed to go to Yaobei City in a few days.

Chen Shiyue was pleasantly surprised that the fragrant tree fruit that Lu Tai mentioned was actually star anise, which gave her an extra seasoning.

Later, Lu Tai and his friends really went to Yaobei City, and were amazed by everything in Yaobei City, and decided to learn the way of life in Yaobei City. Soon, with the help of Yaobei City, the Long Neck Tribe built houses on the flat land near the river bank, started planting and breeding, and became the Deer Town. This is a later story.

During the subsequent voyages, we did not encounter any other tribes. The tribes in this world generally do not choose to live near rivers, but mostly live in forests.

The fungus has been dried and put away, and Chen Shiyue returned to the terrace to enjoy the scenery.

After more than seven days of sailing, we finally saw many houses appearing on a large flat land in the front left from a distance.

Li said excitedly: "Shiyue, is that Qingcheng? There are many wooden houses, which look a bit like our Yaobei City. I think Langs taught them to build them when they came to trade."

Chen Shiyue felt a little excited. This was the second city besides Yaobei City. Maybe it was not as advanced as Yaobei City, but it had already moved from a tribe to a city after all. It would only become more advanced and prosperous in the future.
