Chapter 142 You Eat Meat, We Want Soup
But then again, their Wanshou Tribe is poor.
If they want a better life, they need a suitable price.
Moreover, since the earthquake, there has been no tree as thick as an arm within a radius of a hundred miles except for these rocks.
It can be said to be very desolate. Apart from small animals living there, there are not even large wild boars or bison.
"Don't worry this time, the price is negotiable."
"One hundred pounds of this green stone equals one seashell."
As soon as the quotation came out, Mu Youran smiled. This was within her expectations.
Although this thing is expensive to produce, the transportation and manual production process will cause great losses.
"Okay, deal!"
"First, prepare three thousand kilograms of jadeite."
When Chief Wang Shan heard that she agreed so readily, he was so excited that he almost danced with joy.
Quickly let Gao Pi ask people to prepare stones.
Gao Pi ran away quickly for such a good thing.
You know, the number 3,000 kilograms sounds like a lot, but you have to know that this is stone.
Three thousand pounds is just a big piece, and only two ordinary orcs can move it.
If he were a powerful beastman like him, he could easily pick it up by himself.
He ran back to the tribe and roared excitedly.
"Brothers, follow me to the back mountain to move stones!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gathered around excitedly.
Someone asked curiously, "Gao Pi, are they really going to buy those stones from our back mountain?"
Gao Pi said excitedly, "Yeah, let's get it now. They want 3,000 kilograms!"
When everyone heard this number, they raised three fingers in shock: "That's so many!"
"What do they do with it?"
Everyone was curious about why someone wanted to buy those stones that were neither edible nor wearable!
He even went to their tribe in person.
Although I don’t know what they use it for, but since they come here specifically to buy it, it must be useful!
You Ran asked curiously, "Gao Pi, how much meat and hides do they offer?"
Hearing this, Gao Pi smiled smugly: "You are kidding, they are not exchanging meat and hides, but buying them with seashells!"
"One hundred pounds of stone, one seashell!"
"what!"
When everyone heard the price, their eyes widened. You know, one seashell requires two animal skins.
That 100-jin stone, which was only about the size of a stool, was actually worth a seashell!
What kind of exorbitant price is this?
"Let's go, let's go!"
These three thousand kilograms are equivalent to thirty seashells, which are worth sixty animal skins. It is much more than what they earn from hunting now.
Everyone rushed to the back mountain.
However, while some people were excited, some were very confused as to why the female was willing to pay such a high price for these broken stones.
Does that mean that these stones are worth far more than this price!
If that is the case, then giving them only one seashell is really too little.
When they reached the back mountain, Gao Pi immediately asked everyone to start working.
Mu Youran hurried over and told them to be gentler.
It would be bad if these jades were hit and cracks appeared.
Luo Bai and Ying Yao usually deal with these things nearby, so they naturally know where is the best and where is the second best.
They were all helping out.
However, some orcs saw some clues in this action, and it seemed that they were right!
This thing is valuable!
However, for such a valuable thing, they only gave one seashell for one hundred kilograms. Thinking of this, they felt a little unhappy.
One of the wolf orcs exchanged glances with the brother next to him, and they both knew what he meant.
He glanced at Luo Bai who was helping them with the stones across the street, loosened his hands, and stepped back.
The sudden change almost caused Luo Bai to hit his foot, and he quickly pushed away the stone in front of him.
When I looked up, I saw them all retreating in unison, and it was obvious that they did it on purpose.
Pointing at them angrily, he said, "What are you doing? If you want to do it, do it. If you don't want to do it, get out!"
Mu Youran, who was standing nearby, happened to see this scene and quickly ran over, nervously checking Luo Bai's hand.
"Are you okay?"
Luo Bai shook his head: "Fortunately, I am strong. If it were any other orc, I would have been smashed to pieces!"
At this time, Chief Wang Shan also hurried over and angrily scolded those males who used dirty tricks.
"What the hell, what do you mean? Do you want to kill someone?"
"They are honored guests of my Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. If you hurt them in the slightest, you'll be the next person to leave!"
Patriarch Wang was so angry that he was fuming. He knew that if You Ran succeeded in this deal, there might be another time.
But if they mess up this time, they will not make any profit and will have to suffer from cold and hunger again this winter.
What's more, they are the benefactors of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. It's obvious that these hateful males did it on purpose.
I like to be clever at ordinary times, but I don’t want to make myself look foolish at this critical moment!
However, the males didn't take his roar seriously at all.
The wolf beastman who was leading the group said indignantly, "Chief, I think this is unfair!"
"That's right, Chief. Why do we only get one seashell for a hundred pounds of stone?"
"That's right, if they can buy this thing again, it means it's worth a lot of money. This price is unfair!"
In fact, the other orcs also thought the same thing in their hearts, but since it was something the chief had confirmed, they just had to do it quietly. Saying more might offend the chief.
But they didn't expect that Lang Gan would tell them, so they all put down their work and gathered around.
I hope these foreign orcs can raise the price.
Upon hearing this reason, Wang Shan was so angry that he slammed the stick in his hand on the ground.
"What do you know!"
"If it weren't for the generosity of Youran and the others who bought our stones in Yunmengze, we would have frozen to death or starved to death in the winter. They are our benefactors."
However, Lang Gan and the others did not want to hear this. In their opinion, the things Mu Youran and the others bought must be useful.
I was able to survive last winter only by relying on myself!
They bought the stones, and they deserved the seashells!
"Chief, there's something wrong with what you said. They spent so much money on those stones, they must be making money, otherwise why would they come here this time?"
"As for gratitude, I'm afraid they should be thanking us for selling them the stones!"
"Besides, she was able to buy that pile of stones with a hundred seashells last time, so why not this time?"
"If you ask me, I'd just trade a hundred seashells for the seventy or eighty kilograms of stone. They wouldn't lose anything, they'd make a profit!"
"They eat meat, they can't leave us without even a mouthful of soup."
Lang Gan's explanation was very coherent, and everyone thought about it and instantly realized that this was the case.
Yes, last time they could buy a few dozen kilograms of stone for a hundred seashells, but this time they wanted only one seashell for a hundred kilograms of stone.
No matter how you look at it, it's unacceptable. The price is way too low.
They all turned their eyes to You Ran, Luo Bai and Ying Yao, with an attitude that they would either pay more or not sell at all.
