Bound to the childbearing system, I am surrounded by orcs

Chapter 116

Shopping, what an outdated word. After the end of the world in her previous life, she never had a peaceful day. After coming to the beast world, she kept fighting against the sky and against people.

After much difficulty, they arrived at the relatively safe super tribe. Although some unpleasant things happened, Jiang Yue was confident that she could solve them, so she finally had the opportunity to see the customs and habits of the beast world.

The merchants in the Pig Tribe Market set up stalls along the roadside, much like a flea market.

Generally, animal skins are spread on the ground and a few items are placed randomly.

It certainly cannot be compared with the era when the commodity economy was developed, but there are also many interesting little things.

Hats made of beautiful bird feathers, animal skin scarves, cowhide boots, animal bone necklaces, bear skins shipped from the north, fruit wine brewed by the golden monkey tribe, pearls and mother-of-pearl shipped from the seaside.

Of course, salt is still the most popular hard currency. In addition to salt, the most popular foods are dried meat and dried fruits that are easy to store and transport.

Jiang Yue looked around and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be much more convenient if there was currency."

Ling Qingyun was very sensitive to everything related to business, so he asked, "Yue'er, what is currency?"

Jiang Yue thought about it and gave a very official answer: "It is a standard for measuring value."

Ling Qingyun was extremely smart and seemed to be thinking about something after hearing what he said.

Jiang Yue went on to say: "But it's too difficult. Without a unified regime and a commodity economy of sufficient scale, currency cannot be generated."

Jiang Yue just said it casually, and her attention was attracted by the small commodities. They would stop to look at every stall they passed by. Jiang Yue fully indulged her shopping addiction.

She noticed that Lan Qiming, who was following behind, would buy all the pearls whenever he saw a merchant selling pearls, so she walked over to his wheelchair and asked, "Qiming, do you like pearls?"

Ling Qingyun walked aside and pricked up his ears calmly.

Lan Qiming's eyes were deep as he replied, "I don't like it."

Jiang Yueqi asked: "Then why did you buy it?"

Lan Qiming held Jiang Yue's hand and answered seriously: "Every pearl is a tear of the mermaid. The mermaids originated from the deep sea, but almost all of them are imprisoned in the Ghost Lake. We can't return to our homeland, so we collected the souls of our ancestors condensed in the pearls and buried them in the Ghost Lake to let them rest in peace."

Jiang Yue originally thought that there would be some romantic legend between Zhenzhu and the mermaid, but she didn't expect to hear such a sad story.

She held Lan Qiming's hand and said, "Then, next time I see pearls, I will buy them as well. When we return to Ghost Lake, we will bury them together."

Lan Qiming then revealed a charming smile: "Okay."

Ling Qingyun, who was eavesdropping on the side, also fell silent.

Everyone thought that mermaids loved money and beautiful pearls, but unexpectedly, they were just a group of poor people who were imprisoned and cursed.

When Lan Qiming threw the pearls he had given her, it was not a threat or humiliation, but a memorial.

This made Qingyun feel less resentful towards Lan Qiming.

Jiang Yue was walking around when suddenly a discordant voice was heard.

"Goddess? It feels like a long time since we last met. I wonder you still have the mind to go shopping here."

Who is it? You speak so greasy.

Jiang Yue turned around and looked.

Wow! It’s an overbite.

It wasn't his turn to speak yesterday, but today he saw what it means to have a defective appearance and an unpleasant voice.

"Sorry, we are not familiar with each other."

Jiang Yue was not interested and didn't want to affect her mood for shopping, so she tried to walk around the overbite.

Unexpectedly, Diaobaotian suddenly raised his hand to stop him, then raised his chin and said, "Female, if you like something, just tell me directly. Everything in this market is contracted by me, Zhu San!"

The proud look on his face with his chin raised was exactly the same as his grandfather's yesterday.

Jiang Yue was very glad that she didn't drink the water, otherwise she would have vomited it out on the spot.

What kind of earthy, domineering statement is this? Oh no, the handsome ones are called domineering men, and the ugly ones are called greasy dads.

Jiang Yue tried very hard to control her expression and not laugh out loud, but her eyes betrayed her.
