Chapter 90 Another Exchange Meeting
Chapter 90 Another Exchange Meeting
In the afternoon, when the little girl happy and the little boy Zhuang came back from home, they brought Jiang Luoluo a message.
The children on Little Rock Hill wanted to continue exchanging jam with her.
Jiang Luoluo hadn't gone to Xiaoshi Mountain for the past two days, and the children couldn't find her, so they went to the little girl happy and the little boy Zhuang, hoping they could help convey her message to Jiang Luoluo.
"The rainy season is coming, and everyone wants to exchange more jam to keep at home. Otherwise, it will be even harder to exchange it when we run out," the little girl explained happily.
This was also indicated by the parents behind those children; young children generally don't think of so many things.
This was exactly what Jiang Luoluo wanted. In the past few days, Chi and Mao had been sending fruit home continuously, and even though they were making jam all day long, the pile kept growing.
Of course, Jiang Luoluo didn't touch the fruits suitable for brewing wine, but waited for the wooden barrels she made to brew the wine all at once.
To avoid brewing the wine separately, which could lead to unequal conditions and result in vastly different outcomes that would make it difficult to apply the same methods directly next year.
Jiang Luoluo thought about how she could get rid of all the jam she had at home and decided to go to Xiaoshishan to exchange it the next morning.
Brown brought the news to Little Stone Hill in the afternoon, and everyone was very excited.
At the same time, Jiang Luoluo also expressed some items she wanted to exchange.
Linen and animal hide are interchangeable and can be changed at any time.
We accept all kinds of flowers, including fire-resistant flowers and stinky flowers; if you can find them, we'll take them.
Other plants will be considered on a case-by-case basis. However, some plants that have been identified as being purely ornamental have been declined.
Special stones and minerals are not lacking for now, but they can be traded, and they will eventually come in handy.
Regarding food, Jiang Luoluo specifically requested that they only exchange for chunks of pure white, fatty meat.
After all, with the food left by Ge, Jiang Luoluo was not lacking in food. It was just that it was not very convenient to press oil each time, and recently all she could eat was a bunch of lean meat.
If it weren't for the little bit of lard I had stored up beforehand, I probably wouldn't have any oil to use these past few days. You see, the foundation of Jiang Luoluo's cooking is frying food until it's fragrant. Without oil, it's like cutting off half of Jiang Luoluo's tongue; food just won't taste good anymore.
Before leaving that night, the little girl happy and the little boy Zhuang exchanged some jam with Jiang Luoluo, seizing the advantage of being "first to get the moon" and not having to wait until the next day to compete with others.
After Jiang Luoluo and He finished dinner, they realized that Mao and Chi hadn't come back all afternoon.
Jiang Luoluo worriedly wondered if something unexpected had happened.
Although Brown believed in Red's strength, seeing the cub's worried expression, he thought for a moment and then took the cub to check on Mao's house, which was not far away next door.
As soon as I got there, I ran into two people unloading cargo... Wait, why are there other people?
Jiang Luoluo stared wide-eyed at the pear that had inexplicably appeared there.
Pear greeted Jiang Luoluo with a smile, "Luo, can we trade some jam later?"
Jiang Luolu blinked, looking at the group of people.
It turned out that on her way to Little Rock Mountain, Pear happened to run into Shigeru, who was going to Taz Forest with Akane. Feeling that she could be considered Shigeru's "friend," Pear asked what they were going to do and volunteered to join in and help.
With one more person helping, the three of them brought back even more fruit. However, Mao thought of the scene of Jiang Luoluo's cave being crammed full with nowhere to stand, so he suggested that they put the fruit at his own home first.
That's why Jiang Luoluo saw the three people unloading goods at Mao's house.
"Luo, the water thorn fruit you wanted is here." Chi waved to Jiang Luoluo, with a row of specially selected water thorn fruit at her feet.
There were about thirty of them, which was all the three of them found in one afternoon.
Don't think this number is small. Spine fruits are tree fruits, but usually no more than twenty grow on a single tree. Not only are they rare, but the key is that spine fruit trees do not grow continuously, and you can only find one from a great distance.
As for the spunlace fruit itself, although it has a very hard outer skin, it is not difficult to break. Many birds with strong beaks can easily pierce the hard skin of the spunlace fruit.
This means that on a single tree, only one or two of the thorny fruits may be intact.
So after searching all afternoon, they only found this many water thorn fruits. However, the three of them did not sit idle. They searched through all the fruits they encountered along the way and found quite a few other fruits besides the water thorn fruits.
Jiang Luoluo did not refuse Li's request, nor did she ask for anything in return. Li had worked hard all afternoon picking fruit without asking for payment, so it was only right that she take some jam back with her.
Jiang Luoluo felt very embarrassed, thinking that she had really troubled the other party too much, and now she even wanted to use his house.
But Mao is happy and hopes he can do more to help the cubs.
……
It was another bright sunny day. As soon as she stepped out of the cave, the brilliant sunshine made Jiang Luoluo, who had been holed up in the cave, feel the intense heat.
Under the scorching sun that seemed to be drying her out, Jiang Luoluo resignedly carried her small burlap backpack, which was filled with jam, and walked up the small rocky hill.
Beside him was Brown, who also carried large and small bags, as well as happy, a little girl, and Zhuang, a little boy, who had come early in the morning to help carry things.
Akane and Shigeru are still picking fruit in the Taz Forest today, maybe even pears.
Jiang Luoluo thought that if she didn't see Li on the small rock mountain later, it would mean that Li had gone with her.
The Little Stone Mountain was unusually lively today. Everyone had arrived long in advance to wait there, carrying large and small bags of things.
As soon as Jiang Luoluo appeared, she was surrounded by the crowd. It was only by putting on a cold face that she managed to control everyone's enthusiasm and get them to calmly line up.
The little girl, happy, and the little boy, Zhuang, spent the morning running errands, constantly helping to deliver the items they had traded back to the cave, and then fetching more jam from the cave to exchange for more.
It was probably because the rainy season was really long that everyone had to exchange a lot of jam, which almost emptied Jiang Luoluo's entire stock.
Of course, it's still a little short.
"Luo, what's going on?" He looked at Jiang Luoluo strangely. The exchange event on Little Stone Mountain had ended, and the children had all gone back with their jam.
But Jiang Luoluo didn't seem to want to go home. Instead, she took out two more jars of jam and held them in her arms.
"Luo, you want to go to... Fish Cave?" Brown asked uncertainly.
Jiang Luoluo nodded. If the other tribespeople needed so much jam during the rainy season, then the children in Fish Cave needed it even more.
This might be the only delicious food they can enjoy during their long rainy season.
Oh right, and the stinky flower too.
The one from last time should have been almost completely eaten by now.
He glanced at Jiang Luoluo, but didn't stop her. He just shook his head helplessly, then picked up the two huge stinky flowers and led Jiang Luoluo down the mountain.
The elderly clansman guarding the entrance to the Fish Cave had changed; it wasn't the insect he had seen before, but he still gave Jiang Luoluo a friendly smile.
"Thank you, Luo, the soft-shelled turtle is really delicious."
Jiang Luoluo responded with a smile. Just then, Little Fish King Biao came out of the fish cave... or perhaps it wasn't just a coincidence, but rather he came out to check the situation after hearing the conversation.
