Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Lin Xiaoqian looked at the older primitive man; it seemed that everyone in the group listened to him.

He began by saying, "My name is Qian, and I come from the Huaxia tribe. Which tribe are you from?"

The elder frowned and pondered for a moment before replying, "We are from the Great Tree Tribe. My name is Yu. However, I know all the tribes in this forest, but I have never heard of the Huaxia Tribe."

Lin Xiaoqian thought to herself, "She made this up. It would be a miracle if you actually heard of it."

However, he still smiled and explained, "Our tribe is quite far from here. It's not in this forest, so it's normal that you don't know about it."

Yu's brows remained furrowed: "But how did you, a mere female, manage to get here from so far away?"

Lin Xiaoqian started making things up: "Oh, our tribe is more developed than yours. We have developed a means of transportation that can quickly get you to a certain place. That's how I was sent here by the people of the tribe."

Yu was still skeptical: "What about your tribe? How could they let you stay here alone?"

Lin Xiaoqian said proudly, "Our Huaxia tribe are descendants of the dragon, and we are protected by the gods. We are not afraid of danger at all. I don't know if you have heard the people of the Wild Wolf tribe say that their leader tried to do something bad to me, but before he could even touch me, he was punished by our gods."

The people of the Big Tree tribe were stunned.

However, they found it a bit strange when they met the people of the Wild Wolf Tribe at the exchange festival. The Wild Wolf Tribe was a well-known group tribe that always went out in full force.

Not only were there few people this time, but even the leader didn't show up.

Could it be that they were truly being punished by the guardian deity of this female tribe?

Seeing that everyone was somewhat dazed, Lin Xiaoqian asked, "Did the Wild Wolf Tribe tell you what you would exchange with me for?"

Yu had someone bring over a bundle of layers of animal hides. As she untied it, she said, "The Wild Wolf Tribe said they wanted to trade mushrooms and wild fruits, but I saw that these things were too common and I was afraid they wouldn't be enough to get anything. So I picked some along the way. I mainly brought these animal hides to trade for some food." As she spoke, she placed the animal hides in front of Lin Xiaoqian.

Winter is approaching, and the tribe should start stocking up on food for the winter early.

Although they had stockpiled quite a bit in the tribe, there were too many people in the Big Tree tribe, including many children and old people like him.

The young man's hunted food was far from enough to feed so many people through the winter, so when he heard from the wolf tribe that they could exchange food here, he came to try his luck.

He originally planned to come alone, thinking that if he was lucky, he could exchange some food for the tribe; if he was unlucky, he would be tricked by the Wild Wolf tribe and die out there, at least saving the tribe some food.

Unexpectedly, the children in the tribe did not want him to come alone and all came up to him, saying they would go together.

That's why so many people have come here all at once.

Thinking of these children, Yu's heart tightened, and she said to Lin Xiaoqian, "Money, as long as it's food, I'll trade anything for it."

Lin Xiaoqian examined the animal hides in front of her. There were deer hides, sheep hides, wolf hides, rabbit hides, and fox hides. The preparation was a bit rough, but there was no fishy smell, so it was clear that some effort had been put into it.

That's not bad either; I can use the money to make a leather coat for my grandma or something.

Lin Xiaoqian nodded and said to Yu, "Okay, I'll replace these animal hides. What about the mushrooms and wild fruits you picked?"

A female primitive woman was seen carrying a small animal skin bundle, which she handed over.

When Lin Xiaoqian opened it, most of the contents were wild fruits like raspberries, a few Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms (real), and some unfamiliar wild grasses.

Lin Xiaoqian checked the system and got a general idea of ​​the quantity of these items.

Thinking that the food in the pot should be ready by now, he said to Yu and the others, "Wait a moment, I'll go get the food and show it to you."

I got up and went to the kitchen to release the pressure from the pressure cooker. Then I took out a bowl, filled it with more than thirty bowls of rice, and put the rice out on the table.

"This is the food I'm going to give you as a replacement."

The caveman leaned closer for a closer look. It was pure white, crystal clear, and glossy. It emitted an indescribable fragrance and was steaming hot.

Yu asked, "Money, what is this?"

Lin Xiaoqian took a spoon and said, "This is called rice. Just put it in a pot with water and cook it. You can try it first, one bowl each."

Yu took the spoon and a bowl of rice, and couldn't help but sigh. This container was even better than those made by the most skilled pottery-making tribe. It was so white and smooth. She wondered if the woman would sell it for money.

Then, following Qian's instructions, I scooped up a spoonful of rice and put it in my mouth.

The rice grains are soft and sticky, with a rich aroma of grains, and they even have a slightly chewy texture at the end.

Some primitive people exclaimed, "Delicious!" after taking a bite.

"too delicious!"

A young man said to Yu, "Father, this is delicious, let's switch to this one."

Yu savored the rice in his mouth without saying a word, but the smile on his face showed that he was very satisfied.

He originally thought he could exchange it for some leftover barbecue or something, but he didn't expect it to be such delicious food.

Lin Xiaoqian went to the kitchen, served the braised pork, and brought it out.

Smiling, she said, "This goes perfectly with rice!"

Then each person was given a bowl of braised pork.

The primitive people stared blankly at the braised pork, somewhat at a loss.

They had smelled that overpowering fragrance long ago, but they just didn't know what it was.

So it was meat! But can meat smell this good and look this good?

Glistening and oily, the fat trembled in the air, making them involuntarily swallow.

Lin Xiaoqian picked up a bowl of rice, poured in a few pieces of braised pork, added some broth, scooped up a spoonful of the pork and rice broth together, put it in her mouth, and chewed with a satisfied expression.

Seeing her like this, the primitive people swallowed hard, and imitated her, putting the meat on the rice, scooping out a big spoonful, and putting it in their mouths.

!!!

Gods! Are they in the world of gods? How can there be such delicious food!

Once you take a bite, you can't stop; everyone is holding their bowls and slurping down the rice.

Lin Xiaoqian ate half a bowl, put the bowl on the table, and asked, "Are you thirsty? Would you like some water? I have some delicious sweet drinks here."

I didn't know what "sweet water" was, but if Qian said it was delicious, then it must be delicious. Everyone nodded frantically as they ate it.

Lin Xiaoqian took a bunch of disposable cups, selected a few large bottles of drinks, opened them, and poured them for them.

After drinking the sweet water, everyone felt elevated and almost ethereal.

After we had eaten and drunk our fill, it was time to discuss the price.

Lin Xiaoqian said, "I've always planned to collect mushrooms and berries, but of course, I'll collect other things if I like them. These wild berries, a bowlful is equivalent to one mushroom." As she spoke, she filled a bowl with wild berries.

“Each of the other wild grasses is equivalent to a mushroom. In total, you have picked the equivalent of eighty-five mushrooms. Seven mushrooms can be exchanged for a plate of meat you just ate, one mushroom can be exchanged for a bowl of rice, and three mushrooms can be exchanged for a large bottle of sweet water like this. Do you understand?”

She spoke with gestures, making it very clear, and most people understood her. At least Yu understood, and he nodded.

Lin Xiaoqian breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "There are 38 of you in total. The meat and rice consist of 304 mushrooms, and the six bottles of sweet water contain 18 mushrooms, for a total of 322 mushrooms."

Upon hearing so many numbers, the primitive man was somewhat bewildered. To be honest, he had no concept of numbers and didn't know exactly how many they were. Only Yu frowned.

He often tallied the food in the tribe, and he had a rough idea of ​​how much there was. At the very least, the fruits and mushrooms they picked were far less than what they should give Lin Xiaoqian.

However, these are common things in the forest, things they picked casually on their way here, and they're not worth much. What's most important now is how many mushrooms her animal hide is worth and how much rice it can be exchanged for.
