Chapter 263 [Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea] 26
Feng Lan has completed the main quest and now she doesn't need to worry about what would happen if she was discovered by other players, so she picked and chose in the supermarket and put out some things that were obviously not found in the underwater world.
The mermaids' monetary system is somewhat disordered, but this does not mean that they have no use for precious metals such as gold, silver and gems. It's just not as exaggerated as in human society. Fist-sized gems are unexpectedly common on the seabed, and gold and silver are also decorations in their daily lives, that's all.
But on the other hand, resources that are only available on land, such as fruits, grains, staple foods, animal meat, dairy products, porcelain, jade, terrestrial plants, wooden furniture, ornaments, flowers, jams, beverages and fine wines, are things that everyone needs and are suitable for trading. For example, the cloud shoulder that Feng Lan took out before was very much liked by the mermaid.
So Feng Lan picked and chose, cleaned the stone, spread a piece of light yellow plaid cloth, then propped up the water to keep the table dry, and took out some fruits that Bi Ke liked very much, strawberries, grapes, peaches, and apples. She chose some soft and low-alcohol liquor, such as plum wine and wine, and put milk and Sprite and Coke next to it as contrasting drinks.
As for silk, Feng Lan hesitated for a moment, and decided to buy a piece of cotton, a piece of satin, a piece of linen, and jewelry, which would be a lot.
According to the aesthetics of mermaids, jewelry should be large, shiny, colorful, and bright. So Feng Lan selected jewelry that, in addition to being exquisitely crafted, also required to be large and shiny, which required a small space to be placed. Necklaces, armbands, bracelets, waist chains, hair accessories and headbands, hanging earrings, rings...
In addition, Feng Lan took out several plates with flower patterns, a white jade pot with a painted butterfly fluttering around flowers, and a cluster of yellow roses inserted in it. It didn't matter whether it was professional or not, as long as Feng Lan thought it looked good.
Some small ornaments were added, including porcelain tile cat and Pixiu figurines.
After a long while, a few mermaids came out of the territory in groups. Feng Lan knew that this group should be mainly blue just by looking at their blue tails and the fact that the guards before also had blue tails.
Feng Lan immediately replaced the vase with a jade pot with a blue flower pattern, and the roses inside were also changed to blue. They happened to be collected in the previous copy of the Rose Kingdom. In terms of appearance, it was a beautiful one!
The female fish were attracted at first sight, their eyes lit up.
“What beautiful flowers!”
"I don't know where it was picked from, it's so beautiful, even prettier than the Queen's tail..."
Three blue-tailed mermaids of different colors came out, and a dark blue male mermaid followed them at a distance. Compared to the curious mermaids, he was obviously pulled out to be a bodyguard, so he first glanced at Feng Lan vigilantly. After discovering that it was a mermaid, he relaxed his vigilance a little, and then swept his serious eyes across the stall inch by inch, and then he made way for the mermaids behind him to let them pass.
It was obvious that some players had caused some trouble in this tribe, and it was quite serious.
Feng Lan guessed for a long time but still had no idea. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her. She smiled and waved her hand, and took the initiative to greet the mermaids who came over.
"Hi, everyone. I'm Lan, a traveling merchant from the south. I plan to travel and trade as far north as I can. I'm willing to accept barter or valuable items."
Feng Lan's proactive introduction made the three mermaids, who were already curious, relax a lot. They greeted her one after another and looked around her stall intently. They were very interested in many things because there were many things they had never seen before. They would also take the initiative to ask Feng Lan about them.
"This looks like a bar? But the smell is different from what Grandma Irene brews. Her wine always smells like sea blue fruit."
"Look at what you said, Coco. Of course, wine made with sea blue fruit tastes like sea blue fruit. This plate is so beautiful. I think it will look great on the wall."
One of the light blue and orange mermaids asked Feng Lan if she could pick it up and have a look. Feng Lan nodded, "Sure, just be careful. This plate is very fragile. It might get broken if dropped."
The three mermaids strolled around Feng Lan's stall for a long time. They all liked beautiful things. When they left, they bought most of the things Feng Lan had on display. Feng Lan also had to pick and choose from the things that the others brought out, and chose some that she thought were suitable.
There are several distinctive plates, which are different from the porcelain that Feng Lan brought out. Due to environmental reasons, the mermaids use water-made utensils, or ask people with earth-related abilities to make them. The items made in this way are not only unique and beautiful, but also practical. Because of the material of the ocean soil, the plates, bowls, forks and other items used by the blue-tailed mermaids to exchange also carry the characteristics of the blue-tailed mermaid culture.
All the main bodies are mainly various shades of blue, matched with some cultural elements of the ocean. The various patterns are mainly wave god fish and other marine animals. Due to the abundance of marine resources, these utensils are relatively large. Even the spoon is twice as big as when placed in the hands of an ordinary person.
Feng Lan touched the plates that were shiny because of the silver mixture. The patterns on them were also very beautiful. There were also some made of wood, stone, and carved with gems. In short, their things had a beauty that was different from that on land.
In addition to the utensils, Feng Lan also likes the blue-tailed mermaid's shark gauze, which is also mainly various blues, with a light and elegant look, and there are fish and coral patterns on it. Some of them are ingeniously mixed with gold, silver and gems.
The civilization in the ocean is not backward either. In this world, mermaids have various magical talents. So it is not so much that their lives are backward, but rather that they have taken a different path from technology with the help of magic.
Mermaids can also resist water, so their food also includes dried fish and jams made from some underwater fruits. For example, Feng Lan exchanged dried fish with people in the Black Tail Tribe’s territory. Feng Lan also exchanged food with the Blue Tail Mermaids, which was a blue and soft fruit that tasted a bit like potatoes.
It is a marine plant that grows as a companion to the blue fish. The blue-tailed mermaids raise this small fish, and then the blue fish will take care of this marine potato. It only takes seven days for this plant to bear fruit in the soft seabed arched by the small fish. At this time, the blue-tailed mermaids will leave a part of it as food for the small fish, and most of the rest will be taken away by them. During this period, the mermaids will provide protection for the small fish and plants to prevent them from being eaten by other large fish or other natural enemies.
As for the specialty of the Blue Tail Tribe, I don’t know if it was because of the publicity from the first few mermaids, but later several groups of mermaids came out of the tribe one after another and traded at Feng Lan’s stall.
Their tribe can create a kind of blue crystal, which has strong stability. After melting, it can be added to weapons or other utensils to enchant the items, generally bringing effects such as firmness or durability, or reducing weight and acceleration.
Feng Lan liked it very much, and later chose to use this crystal as a transaction.
