“Good! Two bags of dried meat for one ceramic piece!” Xi Guo nodded in agreement.

Just as he was about to hand over the ceramic piece, someone pushed their way forward.

That person looked anxious and shouted. “I’ll give two and a half bags of dried meat! Give that ceramic piece to me!”

“Why are you competing with me? Aren’t there more available!?” The first person was annoyed. He was furious. If he was not holding onto two bags of dried meat, he might have even started a fight.

“I don’t care! They said whoever gives more dried meat gets the ceramic piece! So, I’m giving half a bag more. So, why shouldn’t I get it?”

That person rolled his eyes, looking smug, and continued. “Ask them to give it to you then! Let’s see if they’ll give it to you or me!”

Actually, this person was deliberately opposing the first person because of what happened the last time. During the last session, he tried to trade with one bag of dried meat but the first person had outbid him with one and a half bags of dried meat. This made him so angry he could not help but want to get back at him.

“Here you go, two and a half bags of dried meat for one ceramic piece!” Xi Guo did not care about their personal grievances. He only cared about the dried meat. Whoever gave more would naturally get the ceramic piece.

The first person looked unwilling. Something that could have been exchanged for two bags of dried meat now required more!

“Alright! Now it’s two and a half bags of dried meat for one ceramic piece, who wants it?” Xi Guo put the dried meat behind him.

“I want it! I want it! Good thing I brought three bags of dried meat, otherwise I would have to go back empty-handed again today!” Someone shouted excitedly from the crowd.

This was exactly what Xi Guo wanted to see. With a big smile, he took the dried meat and handed over the ceramic piece to them.

Time passed, minute by minute, and all twenty-plus ceramic pieces they brought were sold.

Behind them were many bags of dried meat, totaling over fifty bags!

This was not a small amount. Previously, when they brought linen to exchange, they did not receive this much dried meat!

This time, just the ceramic pieces alone were exchanged for over fifty bags of dried meat! This was enough to feed the current Flame Dragon Tribe for about seven or eight days!

Moreover, their stall did not only have ceramics, there were also linen and other products.

These items could also be exchanged for quite a bit of dried meat. It was just that everyone only had eyes for the ceramic pieces, and had not noticed these other items yet.

Qing Yan and a few others had already come out from the Spotted Deer Tribe, each carrying several bags of dried meat.

They placed their exchanged dried meat around Xi Guo and the others, instantly forming what looked like a small mountain.

“Looks like you’ve had great results on your side too. You’ve managed to trade all the ceramic pieces so quickly.” Qing Yan said with satisfaction.

Although he had anticipated this, seeing this scene still felt a bit unbelievable.

He could not help but marvel at the Shaman’s amazing abilities again, being able to create such popular items.

He wondered in his heart what would happen if they brought out Wolf Tail Grass Paper and quill pens to trade? Would they also cause a huge sensation? If that happens, they could bring back even more dried meat for the Tribe!

Though he was curious, he would not casually bring out items from the Tribe, especially not without direct orders.

“Yes, those people only had eyes for the ceramics. I hadn’t even brought all of them out yet and they were already eagerly demanding for them,” Xi Guo smiled.

The way those people looked earlier was still fresh in his mind. They were like a pack of hungry wolves upon seeing food. They could barely move their legs and wanted to devour everything on the spot.

“Now, we don’t need to worry about the rainy season. With so much dried meat, we can last quite a few days.” Qing Yan smiled.

“The Shaman has many more plans in mind, we definitely won’t have to suffer through this year’s rainy season.” Xi Guo was looking forward to the rainy season’s arrival.

Previously, they had always hoped the rainy season would not come, because when it did, not only would they go hungry, but many activities would be restricted. The Tribe’s survival would always be endangered during this period, with deaths not being a rarity.

“Once we trade in all these items, let’s head back. Once we go back, we can wait for the rainy season to arrive.” Qing Yan sat down on the ground.

“By the way, how’s the situation inside the Spotted Deer Tribe?” Xi Guo asked. Because in their recent visits, he had not gone inside. He had been busy out here, managing the stall.

“Are you asking about their preparations for the rainy season?” Qing Yan asked in return.

“Yes, how are they preparing?” Xi Guo was curious.

Qing Yan shook his head without hesitation and said: “Same as usual, no major differences.”

“How can that be? The rainy season is coming, aren’t they worried?” Xi Guo seemed incredulous.

He knew that the Flame Dragon Tribe was making full preparations for the rainy season’s arrival. The construction of cement houses, road paving, and greenhouse, Everything was in preparation for the rainy season.

Now, hearing that the Spotted Deer Tribe had not prepared anything special and was not worried, he found it unbelievable.

“Who knows, their Shaman is different from ours,” Qing Yan hit the nail on the head.

He did not understand why Xi Guo was suddenly so surprised. Was the Flame Dragon Tribe not the same before? They just did what they usually did, without making additional preparations for when the rainy season approached.

Perhaps it was because of the new Shaman’s series of reforms that it made them think that this was what should be done. Now, to them, it seemed strange that others were not doing the same.

“You’re right, I almost forgot about that…” Xi Guo smiled and shook his head.

“But, this time, it isn’t looking good for them. We could exchange for much less salt than the last time..,” Qing Yan turned to look at the small bags of salt beside them.

Xi Guo also frowned and asked. “Did something happen? It wasn’t like this before.”

“Perhaps the Spotted Deer Tribe is being targeted. Haven’t you noticed they’re getting bigger? Other Tribes might be uncomfortable with that, so they cut off the salt supply.” Qing Yan speculated.

“Indeed, a Tribe must become powerful. Otherwise, they’ll have to be passive like them…” Xi Guo sighed.

“Yes, one must be powerful.” Qing Yan agreed.
