Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 167
Since Ah Lu had mentioned this matter in front of so many people, it was likely that the negotiations had been successful. Moreover, with Ah Lu being a female, Wu Xiaoyin believed there had to be some collaboration between the two tribe chiefs. Uncle Kun must want to trade the construction methods of stone houses with the Giant Lion Tribe, Giant Leopard Tribe, Giant Bear Tribe, and Giant Wolf Tribe, as this would benefit the overall development of the Beastman Continent.
After Ah Lu traded for the limited amount of orange wine, Li discussed trading high-concentration pear blossom wine with Wu Xiaoyin in the name of tribe. Wu Xiaoyin was curious and asked, “There are many types of flower wines, like peach blossom wine, apricot blossom wine, pear blossom wine, osmanthus wine, chrysanthemum wine, rose wine, and lotus flower wine. Why did you choose pear blossom wine?”
Ah Lu replied matter-of-factly, “Because pear blossoms are white and look the best!”
Xiao Kai heard this. Having tasted pear blossom wine before, he interjected, “But pear blossom wine is colorless, just like transparent fruit vinegar!”
Ah Lu looked confused and asked, “What’s transparent fruit vinegar?”
Wu Xiaoyin facepalmed and said, “Ah Lu, the point isn’t about transparent fruit vinegar. It’s that pear blossom wine has no color.”
Ah Lu shrugged, “It doesn’t matter if it has no color. The fact that we can smell the fragrance of pear blossoms is already a stroke of luck.”
Wu Xiaoyin reflected on Ah Lu’s longing and thought back to his time on Earth. People from the southernmost regions often hoped to see a snowfall when they traveled north in winter. They didn’t consider the potential dangers like snow disasters or frostbite. They simply wanted to see the white snow they had never seen before.
Now, Ah Lu seemed to feel the same way. He was longing to see and smell pear blossoms that he may never encounter in his entire life. Even if he couldn’t see the whiteness of the pear blossoms, just experiencing their fragrance was indeed a form of good fortune.
Wu Xiaoyin said with some emotion, “Of course, no problem. I can also trade you my peach blossom wine, peach wine, lychee wine, and strawberry wine, which can be produced in large quantities. You can send people to trade with me every year.”
At this moment, Wu Xiaoyin hadn’t considered the possibility of accumulating mountains of herbs, animal skins, and meat through trading. He was simply happy that they, especially the females, would get to drink his homemade wine.
Meanwhile, the crowd lining outside watched Ah Lu and Li with envious and jealous eyes. Some influential figures in the tribe clearly focused on the construction methods of stone houses, and some even quietly left early.
Upon hearing Wu Xiaoyin and Ah Lu’s conversation, Zhan interjected, “Our tribe also wants to establish a yearly trade for wine. You can’t play favorites!”
Wu Xiaoyin glanced at Zhan with an expressionless face and replied, “Understood, but can you represent your tribe?”
Zhan’s happy expression fell at that. Lan Shi quickly continued, “I can represent our tribe The Giant Bear Tribe hopes to trade for wine every year, but we prefer lower-concentration, preferably sweet.”
Wu Xiaoyin thought to himself that bears indeed liked sweet things, but on the surface he said seriously, “Sure. If you two can’t make it, just send someone to let me know, and your tribe can have someone collect it.”
Zhan quickly shook his head at his words. “If that’s the case, how much will be left by the time it reaches the Giant Bear Tribe? Who can guarantee that? For the sake of the tribe, I’ll participate in the exchange day every year.”
Everyone rolled their eyes at Zhan’s seemingly righteous words, some coughing. Anyway, no one believed Zhan’s seemingly noble promises.
As Wu Xiaoyin and the others chatted, the people outside began to grow impatient. They started urging, “Are you trading or not? Hurry up, we can’t wait any longer.”
Those at the back even shouted, “Will it be our turn or not? If not, just let us know!”
Lei Lu took a deep breath and shouted, “We’ve prepared plenty of orange wine for today, and everyone here should be able to trade. However, if more people arrive later, I can’t guarantee anything.”
With Lei Lu’s words, the crowd relaxed and began to line up for orange wine. The long line slowly moved forward, but it never seemed to shorten. It turned out that some people were waiting with the mentality of “hoping that they might still get some.”
When the last two jars of wine were traded, the remaining crowd sighed in disappointment, but all they could do was leave with regrets. They promised to arrive early next year to queue up!
Finally, this year’s exchange day came to a successful end. Even Tribe Chief Kun was grinning from ear to ear. Late at night, Wu Xiaoyin heard Uncle Kun’s loud roars again. He was so scared that he work up immediately. Feeling wronged, he rubbed against Lei Lu, indicating he had been disturbed. Lei Lu felt restless. Since he was awake, he might as well exercise before going back to sleep. Anyway, the tribe chief would continue his howl for a while longer!
