Chapter 236: Jackal Tribe
Zhao Hai, of course, had no idea about the thoughts of the two women. He had only considered kissing Laura in that atmosphere, but now that he had come out of the tent, that feeling was naturally gone.
After stepping out of the tent and taking a few breaths of fresh air outside, Zhao Hai looked around and discovered that the women of the pig tribe had already woken up early. They were busy in the camp, some milking sheep, some feeding the little lambs, and others cleaning up the mess from last night. As soon as they saw Zhao Hai come out, they all greeted him, and Zhao Hai quickly returned the gesture.
One cannot help but say that the ordinary races of the orcs live quite hard lives. Ethnic groups like Spill do not have slaves, so they must do everything themselves. Their main sources of income come from selling mountain goats and purchasing wool products.
The wool products made by the orc tribe are quite famous on the continent. Not only are they thick and warm, but they are also very sturdy and durable. Most importantly, the patterns on them have strong orc characteristics, appearing rugged and mysterious, exuding an exotic beauty, making them very popular.
However, these wool products do not have a unified production line; they are all handmade by the orc tribe using traditional crafts, made bit by bit. These sheepskin products are not only their main source of income but also necessities for their lives.
Zhao Hai did not watch the women working; instead, he focused his attention on Spill and his mounts, as well as the prairie dogs.
These prairie dogs looked remarkably like the prairie mastiffs Zhao Hai had seen in his previous life, but they seemed even fiercer, especially since they were magical beasts.
The mounts of Spill and his companions intrigued Zhao Hai even more. These creatures, resembling close relatives of wild boars, were truly enormous. In Zhao Hai's eyes, they looked like miniature elephants. Even more surprisingly, these creatures were quite fast, making them excellent mounts.
Perhaps because he had drunk with Spill last night, neither the dogs nor the pigs showed any hostility towards Zhao Hai. A few dogs even wagged their tails at him.
At that moment, Spill's voice came over, "Brother Zhao Hai, you woke up really early! Did you enjoy the drinks last night?"
Zhao Hai turned to see Spill and couldn't help but smile slightly. "Brother Spill, you didn't wake up too late either. Last night was the happiest night of my life, and I really want to thank you for your hospitality."
Spill patted Zhao Hai's shoulder hard and said, "Brother Zhao Hai, you are too polite. It’s our honor as orcs to host friends! Hahaha!"
Zhao Hai had gained a direct understanding of the orc's frankness, but he still found it a bit overwhelming with Spill's enthusiastic shoulder pats.
Zhao Hai shook his numb shoulder, forced a smile, and then turned to Spill with a grin, "Brother Spill, then I won't be polite with you. I can give you this fifty thousand pounds of grain, but I want a few mountain goats and a dog. Ideally, I'd also like one of your mounts. What do you think?"
Spill laughed and replied, "No problem! I can give you a dog. This type of pig is unique to our big-bellied pig tribe; even if I gave it to you, you wouldn’t be able to use it. However, just a couple of days ago, one of the pigs had piglets. I can give you one of those piglets and also thirty mountain goats; how does that sound?" Spill said, looking intently at Zhao Hai, genuinely worried that Zhao Hai might refuse, as he felt that this deal favored Zhao Hai quite a bit.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Brother Spill, you are too kind. You can give me a dog, a pig, two wool blankets, and ten mountain goats, and then this fifty thousand pounds of grain will be yours."
For Zhao Hai, this was already enough. He could add three types of magical beasts to his space, and he would also receive ten mountain goats and two wool blankets. The only thing he had to give up was fifty thousand pounds of bamboo rice. If he were to sell these things on the continent, he could make several hundred gold coins, so he felt he had already gained a lot.
