CHAPTER 557: CHAPTER 541: GRAND LEADER 59 FOUR THOUSAND WORDS_2

Any tribe daring to fight and make trouble at the Mutual Market, these individuals would be mercilessly knocked out and thrown out of the market. Their methods are quite overbearing, but no tribe dares to defy this rule, and that is the power of the Super Tribe.

To be honest, Yan Shuangshuang doesn’t have a great impression of the Super Tribe that runs the Mutual Market. A tribe that allows the Cannibal Clan to openly slaughter and sell humans as livestock in its market, in Yan Shuangshuang’s mind, is no different from the Cannibal Tribe.

Since there are no cannibals around, Yan Shuangshuang starts seriously wandering the market. This time, she doesn’t plan to buy any dried wild fruits. The forest near the Yanhuang Tribe is full of wild fruits every year, and they usually rot on the trees in large quantities, while the birds and little animals can’t finish them.

This year, the number of people in the Yanhuang Tribe has increased significantly, so Yan Shuangshuang plans to pick at least half of the wild fruits from the forest, dry them, and save them for the cold season to supplement vitamins for the tribe members.

The reason for picking half is a calculation Yan Shuangshuang made based on the amount of fruit rotting every year. Based on her observations, each tree’s fruit is partly eaten by birds and small animals and partly rots, with less than forty percent eaten by wildlife and the rest basically rotting.

Anyway, trees rely on birds and small animals to spread their seeds, as the seeds are ingested and then excreted elsewhere, taking root along with the droppings.

Bringing back these wild fruits would not affect the trees’ spread or eliminate the food sources for birds and small animals relying on the trees. Moreover, to be safe, Yan Shuangshuang decides to pick only half, instead of sixty percent.

Actually, the world’s resources are truly abundant, because except during the cold and hot seasons, the small animals are almost never worried about food. As for why humans live worse than small animals, it’s mainly because humans know too few edible foods.

The world is filled with food, but humans don’t recognize it, making it pointless. Many toxic substances look very deceiving, causing humans to hesitate in trying new plants, which is the main reason for their difficult living conditions.

Like how Yan Shuangshuang, relying on her big gift, discovered Sweet Potato, salt fruit, and some scattered, albeit not in large numbers, but still edible new plants, suddenly transforming the Yanhuang Tribe from poverty to prosperity.

This isn’t because of Yan Shuangshuang’s own great abilities, but because the world is inherently wealthy. Humans just lack the key to unlock this wealth, and Yan Shuangshuang, with the aid of the Goddess, luckily possesses this precious key.

As Yan Shuangshuang mentally calculates how many fruit trees are in the forest, how many types of wild fruits there are, and how much can be harvested, she wanders around the Mutual Market.

Just then, Yan Shuangshuang smells a very sweet fragrance, rich and sweet, carrying a familiar feel to her. Yan Shuangshuang can’t help but sniff the air towards the source of the smell a couple of times—this scent, there’s no mistake, is honey!

Her eyes immediately fill with a strong smile. She follows the scent and finds her way over. Honey is a good thing with many uses. In a world without sugar, if you want something sweet enough, honey is the only option.

Sure enough, after turning a corner, Yan Shuangshuang sees rows of honey in nutshells laid out on the makeshift stand by the stall owner. These honeys are golden-colored, fragrant and sweet in smell—clearly of high quality.

Yan Shuangshuang is extremely excited. She glances at the honey the vendor brought, and indeed, there’s quite a lot, all in wooden barrels. The large baskets, unique to the Yanhuang Tribe because of Yan Shuangshuang’s introduction, are not found in other tribes.

The Great Tribes trading in the Mutual Market use tools like wooden barrels to carry things, made by cutting down and hollowing out large trees embraced by two people, filled with goods inside, and strapped to the body with vine rope. Although it isn’t as simple to make and use as Yan Shuangshuang’s baskets, it’s similar in function.

This Great Tribe that brought the honey came with many large baskets, all packed full with honey-contained nutshells with lids. Honey never expires or goes bad, so Yan Shuangshuang is planning to buy all this honey to see how long it can feed the Yanhuang Tribe.
