When Kankawa returned to the cave, Chinatsu's family had already left.

"Hey, leaving so soon?"

Hanchuan said as he walked in.

He just sent his mother-in-law back to the witch doctor's cave and then went to his father's place to collect some good things. It was such a short time, how come everyone was gone when he came back?

"My mother and the others just wanted to see how I was doing. Seeing that I was doing well, they were relieved. Plus, I just gave birth to my cubs and now is the time for me to rest, so they naturally didn't stay for long."

Chinatsu looked at Kankawa and explained with a slight smile.

Before leaving, her mother gave them some energy beast meat to take back. Her mother wanted to give her some animal skins, but she refused.

In the animal world, food is the most precious resource, followed by various animal skins. High-quality animal skins can even be exchanged for several prey.

The animal skins that her mother gave her must have been very good ones that she had in her hands, but she had everything she needed now, and her companions at home were all more capable than each other, so she naturally would not take her mother's animal skins.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a small wooden jar in Hanchuan's arms, and Chinatsu was very curious.

"Hanchuan, what are you holding in your arms?"

"Oh, this, this is our family's small salt shaker. We ran out of salt, so I went to my father's house to get some."

Hanchuan sounded a bit guilty, saying he was plucking some, but in fact he had just taken advantage of his father not paying attention and poured some out...

There is no way. The small market will not trade precious things like salt. If you want salt, you have to go to a big market far away to get it.

Besides, the big bazaar is not held at any time.

The salt at home had been eaten up long ago. At first, Coral's family gave them some salt. Later, when it was finished, he went home to take some. This is the second time he has taken some.

At this moment, Shishan was jumping up and down at home...

"You little bastard, you dug up salt again!"

There is almost no salt left at home!

Chinatsu suddenly realized that she had never paid attention to the issue of salt. She had never cooked since she became pregnant, and all the food at home was prepared by her friends.

Suddenly I thought of the planting area on the back mountain... I wonder how the ginger, peppers, and sweet potatoes are growing now.

For so long, Xuan Qi and Han Chuan have never said that there is not enough ginger and chili peppers at home. Maybe the plants in the back mountain are growing well, and Xuan Qi and Han Chuan will go pick them if there are none at home.

Things in the animal world are much larger than those in modern times, whether they are trees or plants, and the effects of plants are also much better than those in modern times. A piece of ginger only requires one or two small slices to make a large pot of broth, and even less is needed to make a small pot of broth.

The original intention of growing peppers and ginger was, on the one hand, for sustainable development, and on the other hand, because I thought that just like what was described in the novels I had read, when she came to this world, she could at least bring something good to the world.

After all, this world's understanding of food is limited to meat. When there is enough food, orcs will not choose to eat fruits or other plant fruits. Of course, sometimes they will eat some fruits to satisfy their cravings.

Fruits were discovered because wild animals were seen eating them safely, but things like ginger, chili peppers and sweet potatoes are not so easy to find and eat.

It takes time for ginger and peppers to grow after they are planted. She was pregnant, so she went to see them a few times at the beginning, but after seeing that they were growing well, she never went again.

So much time has passed, and the ginger and chili peppers she distributed to other orcs should have been eaten long ago, but no orc came to her to ask, probably because they were too embarrassed to ask.

It doesn't matter. After she has rested, she will go and check out this planting area. If the results are ideal, she will teach the orcs in the tribe how to plant it, so that they will always have food to eat in the future.

"Hanchuan, I want to ask, where did you get this salt?"

Salt is an indispensable thing both in ancient times and modern times, but now I am more curious about how salt is obtained in this world?

"This salt is traded at the Grand Bazaar. The mermaids in the East China Sea can make mermaid yarn, but they can't leave the water for long periods of time, and the Grand Bazaar is some distance from the sea, so they ask the Sea Eagle Orcs to help with the trade.

As part of a long-term, ongoing trade between races, their reward to the Sea Eagles is to work with them in producing sea salt. The profits from this sea salt trade are split between the Sea Eagles and them, with the majority going to them and a smaller portion.

Kankawa said as he put away the small salt shaker while looking at Chinatsu.

"Sea Eagle, mermaid... mermaid..."

Chinatsu murmured softly, her thoughts already starting to fly away.

As a modern person, who hasn't had a yearning for mermaids or mermen?

Whenever she saw something online about a mermaid being spotted somewhere, she would get very excited and keep looking for relevant records.

Although I know that mythical creatures like mermaids do not exist in real life, I can't help but fantasize about them.

Now that she has come to this world, and this world has the legendary mermaids, she immediately became interested.

"Hanchuan, have you ever seen a mermaid?"

Qianxia looked at Hanchuan expectantly, while Fu Yu and Chi Hua beside her also sat down and looked at him expectantly.

Being stared at by three pairs of eyes, Hanchuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Didn't I just say that mermaids can't stay out of water for long periods of time? That's why the Sea Eagles help trade things. I've only ever gone to the big market with my father once, and I've never seen a mermaid."

At this moment, Chi Hua on the side suddenly spoke.

"I've heard from my tribe that mermaids are very beautiful. They only differentiate into different genders after reaching adulthood. Moreover, mermaids have an extra power over water. In the sea, they are the overlords of the water."

At this time, Chihua was wondering whether the mermaid's extra control over water could extinguish the dragon clan's unique eternal fire.

But... I don't think so. If it could be destroyed, our ancestors would definitely pass the message down.

Chinatsu was very surprised to hear what Chihua said.

Mermaids will only undergo gender differentiation after reaching adulthood, which means...mermaids have no gender before they reach adulthood?

"The East China Sea? How far are we from here?"

I saw a few people shaking their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Because they have never been to the East Continent, let alone the East China Sea, which is located at the easternmost part of the East Continent.

In fact, Chinatsu never thought about staying in the Lion King Tribe forever. She liked traveling in modern times, and now that she has come to this different world, she must go out and see the wonders of this world.

In the past, we had to consider the issue of survival, but now we don’t have to worry about it, so we can plan this first.

When the baby is born, maybe we can put this plan on the agenda then.
