Views:

The [Tribal Warrior] looked at the casserole in Lan Ke's hand curiously: "Is this a pot? Can it be used to cook things?"

"Of course." Lan Ke introduced the function of the casserole with a smile, and emphasized the biggest difference between the casserole and the soup bowl - the casserole can be put on the fire, but the soup bowl cannot.

[Tribal Warrior] was immediately interested when he heard this. He had a stone pot at home that he had used for many years. It was very crude and had poor heat conductivity. It took a long time to cook food every time, so he had always wanted to replace it with a clay pot.

But the pottery pot was too expensive, and it required a lot of animal meat to buy it. Even if he was good at hunting, it was too extravagant to exchange so much meat for a pottery pot.

What's more, he had to leave enough meat to exchange for salt, which was not cheap.

Thinking of the price of the pottery pot, the [Tribal Warrior]'s eyes became hot: "How much do you want to sell this pot?"

Lan Ke didn't know the prices at the [Tribal Warrior] at this time, but she was not afraid. Seeing that the [Tribal Warrior] was interested, she pretended to be mysterious and kept it a secret: "It depends on whether the price you offer can satisfy me."

The transaction of the soup bowl just now was just a test. Lan Ke wanted all the white cloud mushrooms. He thought that the [Tribal Warrior] would not agree, but who knew that he would just trade it.

With such a premise, why would she be so foolish as to make a direct offer

The [Tribal Warrior] also started to play tricks. He pretended to be disgusted and said, "It's just a pot. I have plenty of them. For the sake of our friendship, I will trade these sweet fruits with you."

These words were said imitating Lan Ke, and the [Tribal Warrior] looked at Lan Ke nervously after saying them, fully expecting that she would be fooled.

Lan Ke couldn't see his expression at this moment, but the [Tribal Warrior] was destined to be disappointed.

She didn't even bargain, but sneered: "In that case, I'd better keep this pot for myself." After that, she put away the casserole and prepared to leave.

The [Tribal Warrior] got anxious again and stopped Lan Ke from leaving: "I like this pot very much, just sell it to me, and I'll exchange it with sweet fruits and this meat!"

Lan Ke said in a cold tone: "Go away, I don't want to trade with you now."

[Tribal Warrior] was even more anxious: "How can this be possible? You've already taken it out. Aren't you bringing it out specifically for me?"

"Who said I brought it to you on purpose?" Lan Ke certainly brought it to sell to him, a fool, but how could she admit it? "I just saw that you liked the soup bowl just now, so I wanted to ask if you wanted a casserole. Since you have a lot of them at home, how can I take advantage of you?"

Lan Ke's words were so righteous that the tribal warrior was stunned. The tribal warrior had some ideas, but unfortunately he was no match for Lan Ke. After hearing what Lan Ke said, he had no idea what to do and just stubbornly refused to let Lan Ke leave.

Lan Ke was just about to tease him again to make him obey her, but suddenly a person appeared in front of her. Then she heard the person say in a strange tone: "You came here just to see him?"

Lan Ke looked speechlessly at Jun Tianheng who suddenly appeared. She really couldn't understand what was wrong with this guy. What he said sounded like he was catching someone cheating.

Without the time to continue to bargain with the [Tribal Warrior], Lan Ke could only ask: "Why are you here?"

"I'm just bored, just wandering around." Jun Tianheng stood beside Lan Ke and didn't move, but he said seriously, "You continue to be busy, don't worry about me."

Lan Ke: “…” She said it as if she really wanted to take care of him.

[Tribal Warrior] was frightened by Jun Tianheng's gaze, as if he was being stared at by a terrifying beast in the forest. He looked at Jun Tianheng warily and silently stepped aside several steps. If he hadn't been reluctant to give up the casserole in Lan Ke's hand, he would have left immediately!

Lan Ke noticed that something was wrong with the [Tribal Warrior] and was afraid that he would really run away and waste all the previous efforts, so she quickly said to him: "Do you really want the casserole?"

“Yes, yes, yes!” The [Tribal Warrior] stared at Jun Tianheng warily while speaking, fearing that Jun Tianheng would snatch it from him. He didn’t care about bargaining at this moment, and simply took out a small pile of white cloud mushrooms and fresh animal meat: “All of these can be given to you, no more!”

Lan Ke saw that he was determined and that it was impossible for him to raise the price, so she stopped pretending and sighed and said, "I got this pot by chance. I wanted to keep it for myself, but since you want it, I'll give it to you."

Afterwards, she simply made a deal with the [Tribal Warrior]. After the [Tribal Warrior] got the casserole, he really gave all the fresh meat, sweet fruit and white cloud mushroom to Lan Ke, but not the animal skin.

Such a large, intact piece of animal hide was rare for him, so he had to keep it for himself.

After the deal was done, the [Tribal Warrior] couldn't wait to leave. He was already afraid of Lan Ke, the profiteer, and didn't want to continue doing business with her.

Lan Ke stopped him and said, "Wait, do you need salt?"

"Salt?" The [Tribal Warrior] who was about to leave paused, turned around and looked at Lan Ke warily, "Do you have it?"

"Yes, I have some. If you need it, I can make another deal with you. Are you willing to talk?" Lan Ke took out a bag of salt with a smile, and then took out a ceramic seasoning jar. In front of the [Tribal Warrior], she tore open the seal and poured the snow-white salt grains into the seasoning jar.

[Tribal Warrior] stared at the snow-white salt grains. Even though he was very afraid of Lan Ke and Jun Tianheng, he could no longer move and leave.

He had never seen such salt before, as clean as the snow falling in winter.

"This... is this really salt?" The [Tribal Warrior] swallowed greedily. This salt looked much better than any he had eaten before!

If he could buy it...

The [Tribal Warrior] clenched his fists nervously, but his words were extremely dry: "I have nothing to exchange with you, how many trading points do you want?"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at his pitiful transaction point, fearing that Lan Ke would not agree.

Lan Ke smiled and held out her hand to pass the spice jar to the [Tribal Warrior]: "I don't need a trading point, but I can give this to you first. When you have something to gain, you can give it to me. Then, maybe we can discuss a new deal."

The [Tribal Warrior] looked at Lan Ke in disbelief: "This... are you really going to give it to me? Aren't you afraid..."

Lan Ke said as a matter of course: "Of course, I believe in you. Besides, aren't we friends?"

"Okay, I, Shi Tianqi, will make friends with you!" [Tribal Warrior], also known as Shi Tianqi, was deeply moved. He always thought that Lan Ke was a ruthless businessman, but now he saw that she was so generous and even willing to believe him, he suddenly felt extremely ashamed.

He didn't know that Jun Tianheng was looking at him with pity.

Jun Tianheng: “…” He was so stupid that he felt embarrassed to bully her.
