Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 54 I want them all

Upon hearing Si Shuo's words, the two females nodded happily and repeatedly: "Making bracelets is too easy. Let the males catch some river mussels and dig out pearls, or collect beautiful stones at the estuary and polish them into beautiful animal shapes with certain fragrant woods. We can do a lot."

Won't it be a loss for Si Shuo if he buys five strings of crystals for one crystal?

How many do you want?

The crystals they were talking about were first-tier. The bracelets on the stalls were usually exquisite and beautiful, and although they were priced at two crystals per bracelet, the females made them themselves and sold them to the stalls and the official vendors, exchanging ten bracelets for one crystal.

Even so, not all the bracelets worn by the females can be sold.

Si Shuo smiled and said, "No limit, we'll take as many as you make."

"You brought a lot of sweet potatoes and corn this time, haven't you sold them yet?"

Nong Xiu and Song Ting both shook their heads. "No, we were busy processing the flesh and bones of the Big-tailed Gray Wolf before. Later, we went to the market and participated in the blessing of the Beast God. When we heard you say you were making snacks, we decided we were even less inclined to sell them."

"Then you guys should keep making the snacks and not sell them outside. I'll take them all!"

Sweet potatoes and yams are made into potato chips, corn is made into popcorn, and fruit is made into dried fruit, all packed into this large wicker basket.

Si Shuo gestured to indicate the size of the rough porcelain bowl: "Five baskets like this will also count as one crystal for you."

Whether it's potato chips or popcorn, they're quite fluffy and look plentiful, but actually they don't use much food.

When she and Gongyou were picking fruit yesterday, they saw a lot of seasonings and picked some as well, including chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up. Yesterday they had also discovered a large sugarcane field, which could be used to make sugar and then paired with fruit to make candied hawthorn skewers.

Orcs with ice-type abilities have no need to worry about their candied hawthorns melting.

Fortunately, she had a planting guidebook that included methods for planting sugarcane.

Si Shuo entered the house and pretended to take out a piece of sugarcane. "There are many of these fruits in the forest. The juice inside the hard skin is very sweet. You can collect some, remove the shells, crush the pulp, and squeeze out the juice."

After simmering the juice in an earthenware pot until it becomes thick, roll the various diced fruits that are skewered like this in it, then freeze them slightly…”

These three kinds of food alone are enough to support half of the stall; the rest is for displaying various pottery.

The food preparation method is not difficult; the females and males from the Toyokawa tribe who came this time have enough.

The beastmen of the Fengchuan tribe were at a loss for words to express their gratitude. They had only taken in Si Shuo and Xu Chi for a few days, yet they had received so much care.

They diligently learned how to make each food item, and identified chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, sugarcane, and various popular fruits suitable for making candied hawthorns. They then hurriedly left with some earthenware jars, agreeing to help set up the stall early the next morning.

Ji Liang also went to teach the beastmen from those twenty tribes or families how to fire pottery jars, and was also rushing to set up a stall the next day.

Gongyou found some plant-secreted adhesive. Since they couldn't find suitable vines, they made bamboo rings and glued the openings shut!

The four of them were very busy, making long poles for hooking bamboo rings, rattan baskets for holding bamboo rings, rattan baskets for holding pottery, and so on. For this, Gong You even used the law of time to cover the entire courtyard.

After all, their stall is 100 meters long and about 10 meters wide. To spread out such a large space, they need quite a few items.

The males were all skilled workers, quick and meticulous in their actions, and even the guards protecting Si Shuo were brought in to weave rattan baskets. Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, all the preparations were completed.

Si Shuo was also extremely tired and fell asleep in Zhi Le's arms.

Seeing the little female sleeping soundly, Zhile couldn't bear to wake her, so he simply held her and slept with her.

With his mind preoccupied and having not been tired from the previous night, Si Shuo immediately opened his eyes and got out of bed upon hearing the noise in the yard.

Zhile couldn't resist pulling her into his arms and kissing her affectionately before letting her get dressed and wash up.

Xu Chi had prepared breakfast, and Ji Liang and Gong You had already begun leading the guards to deliver the goods to the stalls one after another.

The males of the Toyokawa tribe also arrived early to help.

Si Shuo didn't even bother to eat breakfast, stuffing a cornbread into his mouth before urging Xu Chi and Zhi Le to go to the market together.

Her eagerness was so great that even the males couldn't bear to tease her. Zhile transformed into a snow leopard and carried her to his stall.

Their stalls were near the entrance, and the market guards were not far away. The flow of customers was the largest and had not yet been diverted. It could be said that anyone entering this market had to pass by their stalls.

The stall was surrounded by high walls built by stone-type ability users on both sides, while there was a one-meter-high low wall in front of the stall to prevent customers from crossing the line.

Each hired male is responsible for a three-meter-wide stall.

The other ten males were responsible for arranging the objects and dividing the bamboo rings into baskets.

When Si Shuo arrived, the stall was almost set up. Starting from a meter away from the low wall, there were three rows of bracelets and necklaces, the fourth to seventh rows were various kinds of food, and the last three rows were pottery of different sizes and shapes.

By now, quite a few orcs had stopped to watch. Hearing that only females and cubs could play with it, the orcs were even more captivated and couldn't move.

The price for the ring toss game is three level-two crystals for one basket of bamboo rings, and five crystals for two baskets of bamboo rings, with each basket containing around forty bamboo rings.

Today, Si Shuo tied all her hair up, wore a straw hat, and was surrounded by her four male companions and the guards.

There were two bamboo baskets full of bamboo rings in front of her!

In modern times, people's living standards have improved, and there are too many festivals and activities throughout the year. As a result, the festive atmosphere of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker. Which temple fair can be without ring toss?

For modern people, the various porcelain cups, bowls, and jars that are too numerous to display at home are all precious items that cannot be bought with money for beastmen.

She has always enjoyed this activity.

Si Shuo first stood still, clasped his hands together, and prayed for good luck. Then he took out a bamboo ring from the wicker basket, aimed at the bracelets in the front row, and threw it.

Everyone's hearts seemed to be in their throats. The bamboo ring was put on the bracelet, but before everyone could cheer, the bamboo ring bounced off gently!

Si Shuo threw the bamboo rings one after another, and could only catch two or three out of ten. This was the level she had honed by going out to the streets every year when she was in good health.

But the beastmen didn't understand. They were anxious, and seeing their own females and cubs looking anxious, they all took out money to buy a basket or two.

Before Si Shuo could finish tossing the rings in both baskets, the entire 100-meter-long shop was already packed with beastmen who had paid for the crystal ring toss.

Fortunately, each female was surrounded by several orcs, so the bamboo ring throwing wasn't too dense, but it was still quite lively!
