Chapter 73 Five Spirit Stones

“And Xiao Yue, she’s smaller than other children her age, she’s just skin and bones. Even so, she still thinks of me and Xiao Rui when there’s something good to eat. I want you to get rid of your hardship. But if you only let you eat your fill, the other beastmen of the Black Bear Tribe will definitely resist, so I’ll help them too.” Jiang Li shrugged. It’s the same whether you help one or a group. No difference. Hearing her relaxed voice and lazy attitude, Hei Duo couldn’t help but be slightly stunned. What kind of person is she? She can face all this so easily and fearlessly?

 And what role does she play in the Bird Tribe? Are all the beastmen in the Bird Tribe like her? At this moment, Hei Duo’s head was filled with a mess of black lines. He couldn’t figure out the reason. But he wouldn’t take the initiative to ask Jiang Li, after all, everyone has their own secrets. The few days they had spent together had also made him see that Jiang Li had no ill intentions. What she had done for them, their good, was already obvious.

 She was even willing to help others to the point of being “foolish”, just like him. Such a person made him willing to protect her. When the two of them arrived at the Leopard Tribe’s market, the scorching sun was already setting, leaving only a warm yellow sunset in the sky. Hei Duo took Jiang Li to an empty spot. “Xiao Li, you sell here first, I’ll go deliver the straw mats to the person.” Hei Duo had a long-term buyer, every time he came here, he would deliver the straw mats to the person. “Okay, go ahead.” Jiang Li waved her hand and watched Hei Duo leave.

She put down the bamboo basket and took out the cloth and scale she had taken before leaving. She spread the cloth on the ground and placed the fruit in the basket one by one. After she had finished arranging them, a nosy Leopard Tribe beastman walked up. He carefully examined Jiang Li’s stall, his gaze immediately fixed on the crabapples. “What is this?” He had never seen it before. Jiang Li followed his gaze and smiled as she introduced, “This is called crabapple, the fruit is sweet and sour, very delicious.”

“Really?” He raised an eyebrow, looking at Jiang Li in doubt. His eyes were filled with distrust. Jiang Li pursed her lips and didn’t explain, she just picked up a fruit and stuffed it into the man’s hand. “If you don’t believe me, try it, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to pay.”

 The man couldn’t refuse, he looked at the crabapple in his hand, he suspiciously stuffed it into his mouth. The next moment, he widened his eyes in surprise. “How is it?” Jiang Li narrowed her eyes and smiled at the man. The man nodded quickly in praise, “Delicious! It’s just as you said!” Jiang Li chuckled and rubbed her nose. These few fruit trees had used up all the last bit of nutrients, how could the fruit they produced not be delicious?

The man’s voice was thick and hearty, this praise attracted all the beastmen nearby. “What kind of fruit is it? Is it really that delicious?” “Oh, these fruits look brighter than the ones on other stalls.” “Yeah, I’ve never seen them before.” … Jiang Li took out a dagger and cut the apples and pears into several pieces for the beastmen to taste. After tasting them, all of them raised their thumbs in approval without exception. “How much is this fruit?”

 There were voices coming from all around. Fortunately, before coming here, Jiang Li had asked Hei Duo about the price of fruit sold at other stalls. Hei Duo said, “The price of ordinary fruit is three spirit stones per pound, but the fruit is small and not fresh. Ours, with this quality, can be sold for four or five spirit stones.” Jiang Li rolled her eyes and slowly extended five fingers to the beastmen. “Five spirit stones per pound.” Hearing this, the beastmen all widened their eyes and gasped. “Five spirit stones per pound? That’s too expensive!” “Yeah, yeah, it’s almost as expensive as meat.” “But to be honest, her fruit is really delicious…” The beastmen were all caught in a dilemma, they looked at the fruit on display, couldn’t help but swallow, they were all hesitating whether to buy it. Just as they were hesitating, a voice suddenly rang out. “I want fruit! Just that crabapple!

Two pounds!” “Okay!” Jiang Li quickly picked up the scale and weighed two pounds of crabapple. Fortunately, she had used this kind of old-fashioned scale before, otherwise it would have been tricky. And this shout just now broke the hesitation of the beastmen, they all gritted their teeth and stomped their feet, they all took out spirit stones and shouted for Jiang Li to weigh them. Jiang Li happily took the spirit stones and weighed the fruit, she was so busy that she was dizzy. When Hei Duo came back, he saw Jiang Li sitting on the ground, happily munching on the apple in her hand. “Hei Duo, you’re back?” Hei Duo looked at the fruit in the bamboo basket, there was nothing left.

 “Where’s the fruit?” He retracted his gaze and landed on the half apple in Jiang Li’s hand. He thought to himself: Could it be that she ate it all? Although he felt it was impossible, but thinking about Jiang Li’s eating speed and appetite, he suddenly felt that it wasn’t strange for her to have finished it all. Hei Duo pursed his lips, just as he was about to say this, Jiang Li took the initiative to say lightly, “The fruit is all sold out.” She also took out her money bag to prove it. Seeing the bulging money bag, Hei Duo was immediately shocked and widened his eyes, he didn’t know what to say. Jiang Li stood up and patted the dust off her butt. She walked in front of Hei Duo and smiled at his wide eyes, “What’s wrong? Don’t believe in my abilities?”

Hei Duo, who had reacted slightly, nodded, then quickly shook his head. “It’s just unbelievable, you actually sold a whole basket of fruit in such a short time?” “Of course, don’t look at who I am. I’m very capable.” Jiang Li used her other hand to flick her hair, her tone was very narcissistic. Looking at her like this, Hei Duo’s eyebrows also curved up. Jiang Li was very capable, he always knew. It’s just that this time, she refreshed his impression of her again and again. “I sold it at five spirit stones per pound, I made a lot of money, let’s go buy some meat.

 We need to pick more fruit when we get back home, there are still many people who didn’t get any, they have already reserved tomorrow’s fruit.” At this time, Hei Duo was even more shocked and speechless. “So many people bought it?” “Of course, the fruit we planted is big and good, they couldn’t help but buy it after they finished eating it!”

 Jiang Li bent down, just about to pick up the bamboo basket. A pair of big hands grabbed the basket from her. “Let me carry it.” Jiang Li didn’t stand on ceremony with him, she let go. “Let’s go, let’s see what kind of meat to buy, Hei Duo, is there anything you want to eat?” “Anything is fine.” “Then how about we buy some lamb chops and fish? Xiao Yue loves lamb, and Xiao Jie and Xiao Gui love fish…”
