Chapter 109 Trade Fair (3)
He spoke quite loudly, not even lowering his voice, as if he didn't mind being heard.
The young man nodded, and just as he was about to speak, a clear female voice interrupted their conversation:
“We have jerky, herbs, good stuff.”
The young man was stunned by this sentence, but the elder suddenly stood up by supporting the young man's shoulder and said: "Let me see your jerky first."
Hey, this elder can obviously express himself so fluently, why did he let the young people communicate with them just now?
Is it training him?
Nishi Ichiqi took out a piece of dried meat with a puzzled look on her face, tore off a small piece and placed it in the palm of her dark hands.
"Try it first and see if you like it. You don't need to give anything in return. This is a gift from me to you."
She stared at the meat strips in her hand without saying a word.
Seeing this, Nishi Ichisu raised his eyebrows slightly, and simply tore off another piece of the remaining jerky, put it in his mouth and started chewing - this was silently proving: there was absolutely no problem with this thing.
These primitive people are really too cautious!
The elder then opened his mouth and threw the shredded meat in.
She has few good teeth left, and I don't know if she can chew well...
As she chewed, the elder's face gradually showed surprise. After she swallowed the shredded meat, she licked the corners of her dry mouth with satisfaction and said to the person behind her: "Hai, take it out and let her see it."
Obviously very satisfied.
Hai took out a fist-sized square fruit from the basket and handed it over.
Nishi Ichisu took the fruit, turned it over to examine it, then put it close to his nose and sniffed it gently, his eyes suddenly lit up.
This!
This is actually corn!
Fortunately, I was careful - since all human races are different, would the crops in this world also be different in appearance from those on Earth?
It turned out that her guess was correct.
Who would have thought that the corn kernels here are as big as fists!
How tall should the corn be?
Holding this huge dried corn kernel, Xi Yiqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Could it be that the reason why they had found nothing in the search for plant food in the past two months was because the sketches she drew for the hunting team were all plant forms on Earth?
"Do you want to change?" Seeing that Nishi Ichiki remained silent, the elder unhappily picked the corn kernels from her hand and put them back into the basket.
"Yes! I want it!"
Nishi Ichiki came to his senses and said quickly, "I want all of this basket!"
After hearing this, the elder's eyes flashed with surprise, but he pretended to be calm and said: "Then you have to give me a basket of dried meat!"
"No, you can't do that. These are just some fruits. I just saw them for the first time and wanted to try them out of curiosity. This can't be exchanged for a basket of dried meat."
Nishi Ichisu decisively refused.
Seeing that she couldn't fool him, the elder opened her toothless mouth and began to bargain: "How about half a basket?"
Nishi Ichiki shook her head. Seeing the elder's face grow colder, she changed the subject and pointed to the other two baskets filled with various exotic fruits on the ground and said:
"I want these too. Can I exchange them for a basket of dried meat in total?"
When the elder heard this, he nodded and agreed immediately, three baskets of fruit for one basket of dried meat!
How could you not agree to such a good deal?
After taking the dried meat handed to him, the elder couldn't wait to grab a piece and stuff it into his mouth, chewing it with relish.
His face was full of enjoyment.
The tribesmen behind her were all drooling, their eyes full of desire, but no one dared to step forward to grab the food.
As for Nishi Ichiki, he was holding the basket of corn in his hands with great joy and smiling like a fool.
Now the Yanyuan tribe had plenty of dried meat. Although there was only one basket of corn kernels, they could be ground into corn flour or cooked. If the primitive people's drying method was okay, she would try to grow some.
Thinking of this, he asked again: "Do you still have this yellow fruit?"
The elder swallowed the meat in his mouth before speaking: "Yes, there is more. Do you want it?"
Nishi Ichisu nodded without hesitation: "We want all of them. We'll exchange them for jerky."
Hearing this, the elder glanced at the girl in front of him as if she was a fool.
These fruits were barely delicious when fresh, but they were leftovers from last winter. They were as hard as rocks, and one bite almost broke her teeth, so she took them out to exchange for something else.
"We didn't bring any more to the fair. How would you like to exchange them?"
"How far is your tribe from here?"
"It's about three days' journey. Our tribe is located at the border of Dark Hill Continent and Dusk Rock Forest."
This is not going to be easy; it sounds like the distance is not close.
Not to mention the location of the Dark Hill Continent, she hasn't even figured out the Dusk Rock Forest. Forget it, she might as well ask Arthur first.
But when he turned around, he found Arthur staring at him in astonishment.
What's going on? Is this?
"Uncle Arthur, do you know how far the Dark Hill Continent is from our tribe?
Arthur was so shocked—Wu Xiqi actually understood the language of ancient tribes?
Could this be her witchcraft?
He speculated silently in his heart, but did not ask the doubts in his heart immediately. Instead, he answered the question first:
"Dark Hill Continent is very far away from our tribe. It takes six days to reach it. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
It seems that this deal won't be done anytime soon.
Nishi Ichiki sighed lightly and began to explain: "I was originally planning to make a deal with them. Didn't she just say that their tribe is in..." At this point, he finally realized what was happening.
Goldfinger!
Her golden finger is automatically translated.
No matter what language the other party spoke, what she heard was the familiar Chinese language.
What she said just now must have been automatically translated by the system, which is why the old man took the initiative to strike up a conversation, and Arthur was also surprised!
……
Seriously, this system is too unreliable. Even the only reward given is full of loopholes.
"Well, the reason I can communicate with them is because..."
Just as she was about to make amends, Lan Xi took the lead and blurted out: "Mother Nature!"
"Oh, yes! That's what Mother Nature taught me." Xi Yiqi was stunned for a moment, then repeated it seriously, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
"hey-hey……"
Lan Xi smiled particularly happily.
After all, this time she guessed the answer to the question before she even asked. Ever since she'd been with Wu Xiqi, she felt like she had become a lot smarter!

Just when Nishi Ichisu was about to share her new discovery with everyone, an accident happened.
With a loud noise, the backpack on the ground was kicked away by someone, and the earthen jar inside rolled down and broke into pieces.
Everyone looked at the "culprit"!
