Pampered in the Beast World: The Frail Beauty Has Many Children and Much Fortune – Chapter 54

Ch 54: I Want It All

The two females heard Si Shuo’s words and nodded happily, “Making hand string is too simple, let the males go fishing for river mussels and dig out pearls, or pick up beautiful stones at the estuary, and use certain fragrant wood to polish them into good-looking beast shapes, we can make a lot.”

“Will five strings for one crystal be a loss for Si Shuo?”

“How many do you want?”

The crystals they were talking about were level one. The hand strings on the stalls were usually exquisite and beautiful. Although the selling price was two crystals per string, the females themselves made them and sold them to the stalls and the officials, exchanging ten strings for one crystal.

Even so, not all the hand strings made by the females could be sold.

Si Shuo smiled and said, “Unlimited, we will take as many as you make.”

“Didn’t you bring a lot of potatoes and corn and other food this time? Haven’t sold them yet, right?”

Nong Xiu and Song Ting both shook their heads, “No, we were busy dealing with the hide, flesh, and tendons of the Big-Tailed Grey Wolf before, and then we strolled around the market town and participated in the Beast God’s Blessing. When we heard you say you were making snacks, we didn’t plan to sell them anymore.”

“Then don’t sell the snacks you make, I want them all!

Turn the potatoes, sweet potatoes, and yams into potato chips, the corn into popcorn, and the fruits into dried fruit, all packed into these small wicker baskets.”

Si Shuo gestured the size of a coarse porcelain bowl, “Five such baskets, I will also give you one crystal.”

Whether it was potato chips or popcorn, they were relatively puffed up, looking like a lot, but in reality, they didn’t cost much ingredients.

When she and Brother Gong You were gathering fruit yesterday, they saw a lot of seasonings and picked some as well, including chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned. Yesterday they also discovered a large sugar cane forest, which could be used to boil sugar and make candied haws with fruit.

With the Ice Affinity Ability Users, there was no need to fear the candied haws melting.

She happened to have a planting guide, which had methods for growing sugar cane.

Si Shuo went into the house and pretended to take out a section of sugar cane, “There are a lot of these fruits in the forest. The juice inside the hard skin is very sweet. You can collect some, peel them, and crush the pulp to squeeze out the juice.

After boiling the juice in a clay pot until it’s thick, put the various sliced fruits strung into such a long string and roll them around inside, then freeze them slightly…”

Just these three kinds of food were enough to fill half a stall, and the rest would be various pottery.

The production method of the food was not difficult, and the females and males who came from the Feng Chuan Tribe this time were enough.

The beastmen of the Feng Chuan Tribe didn’t know how to express their gratitude. They had only taken in Si Shuo and Xu Chi for a few days, but they had received so much care.

They carefully learned the production methods of each food, and also identified the chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, sugar cane, and various fruits that were popular and suitable for making candied haws. They took some pottery pots and left in a hurry, agreeing to help set up the stall early tomorrow morning.

Ji Liang also went to teach the beastmen of those twenty tribes or families how to fire pottery pots, also rushing to set up the stall tomorrow.

Brother Gong You found some plant-secreted adhesive. Without suitable vines, they made bamboo rings, and the ring openings were glued together with adhesive!

The four of them were very busy making the long poles for hooking the bamboo rings, the wicker baskets for holding the bamboo rings, the wicker baskets for holding the pottery, and so on. For this reason, Brother Gong You also used the Time Law to envelop the entire small yard.

After all, their stall was one hundred meters long and about ten meters wide. If they wanted to spread out such a large area, they would need a lot of items.

The males were all good at working, quick and careful, and the guards who protected Si Shuo were also pulled in to act as laborers weaving wicker baskets.

Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, all the preparations were completed.

◈◈◈

Si Shuo was also extremely sleepy and fell asleep in Zhile’s arms.

Seeing the Little Female sleeping soundly, Zhile couldn’t bear to wake her up, so he just hugged her and slept together.

Si Shuo had something on her mind, and she hadn’t been tired last night, so she immediately opened her eyes and got up when she heard the movement in the yard.

Zhile couldn’t help but hug her into his arms and caress her before letting her get dressed and wash up.

Xu Chi had prepared breakfast, and Ji Liang and Brother Gong You had already started taking the guards to deliver things to the stall one after another.

The males of the Feng Chuan Tribe also came early to help.

Si Shuo didn’t even bother to eat breakfast. She stuffed a corn cake into her mouth and urged Xu Chi and Zhile to go to the market town together.

That eagerness made the males couldn’t bear to tease her. Zhile transformed into a Snow Leopard and carried her to their stall.

Their stall was close to the entrance, not far from the market town guards. The customer traffic was the largest and had not been diverted. It could be said that everyone who entered this market town had to pass by their stall.

The two sides of the stall were walled with high walls by Earth Affinity Ability Users, and in front of the stall were low walls one meter high to prevent customers from crossing the line.

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

There were also ten males responsible for placing the items and distributing the bamboo rings into baskets.

When Si Shuo arrived, the stall had just been set up. Starting from one meter away from the low wall, there were three rows of hand strings and necklaces, the fourth to seventh rows were various foods, and the last three rows were pottery of different sizes and shapes.

At this moment, many beastmen had already stopped to watch. When they heard that only females and cubs could play, even more beastmen couldn’t move their feet.

The price of the ring toss was three level two crystals for one basket of bamboo rings, and five crystals for two baskets of bamboo rings. Each basket had about forty bamboo rings.

Si Shuo tied up all her hair today, wore a straw hat, and her four males and that team of guards surrounded her to protect her.

In front of her were two baskets full of bamboo rings!

In modern times, people’s living standards had improved, and there were too many festivals and activities throughout the year, but the New Year’s atmosphere was getting weaker and weaker. Which temple fair could be without a ring toss?

For modern people, the various porcelain cups, porcelain bowls, and porcelain jars that couldn’t be displayed at home were good things that the beastmen couldn’t buy with money.

She never tired of this activity.

Si Shuo first stood in place, put her hands together, and muttered a prayer for good luck. Then she started taking a bamboo ring from the wicker basket, aimed at the hand string in the front row, and threw it.

Everyone’s hearts seemed to be lifted up as well. The bamboo ring landed on the hand string, but before everyone could cheer in response, the bamboo ring lightly bounced off!

Si Shuo threw one bamboo ring after another, and she could only ring two or three out of ten. And this was still the level she had honed on the streets when her body was in good condition every year.

But the beastmen didn’t understand. They looked anxiously, and seeing that their own females and cubs also looked anxious, they took out money to buy one or two baskets.

Before Si Shuo finished ringing the two baskets, the entire one-hundred-meter stall was already crowded with beastmen who had paid the crystals for the ring toss.

Fortunately, there were several beastmen beside each female, so the throwing of the bamboo rings wasn’t too dense, but it was quite lively!
