Chapter 1086 - 1085: Triumphant with Hands on Hips
Seeing their astonished expressions laced with disbelief, an orc from the Watson Tribe chuckled, proudly sticking out his hips for a moment: "Don’t doubt us, our tribe’s cured meat is only traded with the Monte Tribe, because it’s quite difficult to make."
Before the trade fair started, the Shaman said to us, let’s cut the cured Humming Beasts into these small strips. Any tribe that wishes can trade for some to take back and try, to see if it can last until the cold season."
No sooner had the orc finished speaking than two orcs from the Aquatic Tribe squeezed to the front of the stall, salivating at the sight of the cured meat strips on display: "We’re from the Swordfish Tribe. May I ask how many pearls it takes to trade for this cured meat?"
The orc from the Watson Tribe held up a finger, his face wearing an enthusiastic smile: "Just one pearl for a trade, that’s a special discount. It won’t be this cheap if you want to trade for it later."
The two Swordfish Tribe orcs hurriedly took out a handful of pearls from their small beast skin pouches: "We’ll trade all these pearls for cured meat strips."
"How can that be fair, if your tribe trades for so many, what about the other tribes behind us?"
"Right, leave some for each of us too."
As soon as the Swordfish Tribe orcs spoke, they triggered an onslaught of complaints from the crowd of orcs behind them.
The orc from the Watson Tribe raised his hands and pressed down: "Everybody, don’t rush, don’t rush.
Because the number of cured meat strips for this trial sale is limited, each tribe’s purchase is also limited."
With that, he looked at the two Swordfish Tribe orcs: "Brothers from the Swordfish Tribe, Shaman Ji Nuan said that each tribe can only buy up to two cured meat strips. We need to leave some for the other tribes.
If there are any left over, we will notify you to come and purchase them."
The two Swordfish Tribe orcs exchanged looks. Although regretful, they still had to heed Shaman Ji Nuan’s words and could only hand over two pearls to the orc behind the stall.
The orc from the Watson Tribe handed over two strips of cured meat to them, and the two orcs’ smiles stretched all the way to the back of their heads as they held the meat.
Their mouths were almost drooling.
It was proved that such herd mentality existed everywhere, and the orcs were no exception.
After the two Swordfish Tribe orcs completed their exchange, the other tribe orcs in front of the stall surged forward, eagerly taking out pearls from their pouches to trade for the cured meat.
Even Hu Shuo, who had just returned from hunting and had eaten at the canteen using pearls, led his people to squeeze to the front row to trade for two strips.
Then, clutching the two strips of cured meat, he tugged at his beast skin clothing which had been mussed up in the jostle and took a deep breath.
"These orcs are simply too terrifying."
The other orcs from the Hu Tribe all looked at him with admiration, nodding their heads. Managing to squeeze into that fearsome crowd to buy the cured meat and still come out unscathed, Hu Shuo was truly impressive.
Taking advantage of the surrounding orcs all scrambling to buy the cured meat, Hu Shuo tore a strip from one of the pieces in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
At first bite, there was a very stimulating flavor, but as he chewed, an exceedingly fragrant aroma spread in his mouth, and the cured meat was impressively chewy, exactly to his taste.
Chewing on the cured meat, Hu Shuo’s eyes twinkled brightly, looking at the two strips of cured meat he was holding and swallowed his saliva greedily, barely suppressing the urge to tear off a few more strips to taste.
