I Became The Chief Of A Primitive Village

Chapter 1008, They Will Definitely Come

“I think it should be fine. The cellar has a ton.” Sha Lan had inspected the quantities just two days ago. “Anyway, attracting more people to our Tribe is beneficial. It’s very helpful for our Tribe’s development.”

“Precisely. Those fruits are ones they’ve never encountered. Those dried fruits and our other products will make them envious.” Su Bai said softly.

Fresh fruits naturally had their fresh flavour; processed into dried fruit offered a different taste profile.

“Shaman, I have one worry though: what if they buy fruits and take them back, taking out the seeds to plant?” Yu Ying picked up an orange from the table, peeling it to reveal the seeds inside. There were five or six seeds.

“Right! If they take seeds back, they’ll definitely plant them. Then we’ll lose our advantage.” Sha Lan immediately added.

“Maybe we shouldn’t trade fruits, or we remove the seeds before trading them?” Yan Hua blinked her red eyes.

“Silly girls, we can’t guard against them forever. Even if they plant them, it doesn’t matter. We have other advantages.” Su Bai smiled faintly. Naturally, he’d considered this aspect.

Because the soil in this era varied considerably. For instance, before they’d relocated here, the soil there produced remarkably fast-growing crops.

While some soil was not significantly different from ordinary soil. Fruits would inevitably spread outward eventually. This was simply unavoidable.

“We definitely can’t remove the seeds. Look at this orange. If we removed the seeds, without the outer skin, it would look like a complete mess.”

As Yu Ying spoke, she demonstrated for Yan Hua. The mess looked thoroughly unappetising.

“Okay okay, we can only hope their soil isn’t that good. This way, we can better control the fruits.” Yan Hua could only hope for this.

“But, we should promote dried fruits, dried orange peels and such as much as possible. As for fresh fruits, we’ll price them higher.” Su Bai rotated his black eyes thoughtfully. Fresh fruits naturally required higher pricing.

“Shaman, we could just avoid trading the fruits directly. Instead, we extract juice and open a fruit juice shop. What do you think?” Yu Ying swayed her pink fox tail, suggesting this. It was an inspiration that came from her usual juice preparation.

“Right! That’s a good idea. Since we’re concerned about fruit spoiling, we can just extract the juice.” Sha Lan also thought this suggestion was great.

“Let’s proceed according to this suggestion then.” Su Bai nodded.

“Shaman, how should we handle our vegetables? The cellar contains a ton of vegetables. Apart from Tribe members trading for them, a ton still remains.” Sha Lan thought of the farmland outside the Tribe. “After the rainy season ends, we’ll get another large batch of vegetables.”

With the Growth Acceleration Skill’s enhancement, vegetable cultivation and harvesting proceeded rapidly.

Although Tribe members continuously exchanged using labour value, a considerable amount always remained.

“Besides processing them into pickled vegetables, we can open a restaurant, converting vegetables into dishes for people to trade for.”

Currently, only the Yong’an Building, the Chieftain, and some Department Leaders prepared vegetables as dishes.

For instance, stir-fried vegetables, garlic vegetables, vegetables with meat, et cetera. Others could not enjoy such delicacies.

Indeed, vegetables constituted delicacies for Tribe members. For those who ate meat long-term, consuming vegetables was truly luxurious. After all, vegetables were not greasy, and eating more vegetables benefited one’s health.

“I understand. The people the Shaman had me train can become chefs then, correct?” Yu Ying asked.

The word ‘chef’ was naturally something she had heard from Su Bai’s mouth. At the time, she had found this profession quite interesting.

“More or less. Additionally, Wheat and rice can be included as well,” Su Bai said.

He had planned for numerous shops all at once, aiming to make a food street appear more vibrant and diverse.

One could not have a food street with only one or two establishments. That would look bleak.

“Shaman, is it okay if I teach them the snacks I usually prepare? This way, we might open even more shops,” Yu Ying asked.

“Sure. Roasted sweet potato chips, roasted sweet potatoes, cakes, tea eggs and so on, all these can become shops.” Su Bai immediately nodded.

Weren’t these items essential to snack streets? Opening more was naturally beneficial.

“I understand. I’ll discuss this with Ah’Lan together,” Yu Ying nodded excitedly.

“You two discuss and decide. If anything’s unclear, come ask me,” Su Bai said calmly.

“Just over twenty days remain until the rainy season ends. We must work quickly,” Sha Lan instantly felt a huge weight of responsibility.

“By the way, Ah’Lan, how’s the production at the other workshops? Have they stockpiled in advance?” Su Bai asked.

He was enquiring about the paper-making workshop, Linen Workshop, furniture workshop, etc. Because once the rainy season ended, many people would definitely come to prepare for the approaching snow season.

“Except for the ceramics workshop, whose production is limited due to the rainy season, other production is proceeding normally. They’ve stockpiled a ton. Even if many people from other Tribes arrive after the rainy season ends, we don’t need to worry at all.” Sha Lan had inspected just yesterday. Everyone’s work progress remained orderly, even accelerating increasingly as everyone grew more proficient.

“Just wait. Perhaps someone will arrive within these few days. We can provide them with this excess inventory then.” Su Bai’s lips curved slightly upward.

“How does the Shaman know? Did you use a Shaman Technique for divination?” Sha Lan asked curiously.

“No, I’m merely speculating. Just wait. I believe they will definitely come.” Su Bai remained extremely confident.

If everyone had not seen the Flame Dragon Tribe’s goods, that would be one thing. However, many Tribes had already examined their goods.

Su Bai did not believe everyone could maintain such composure. Even during the rainy season, people would arrive because they urgently needed the Flame Dragon Tribe.

“Shaman, they’re coming to our Tribe to trade for goods? It shouldn’t be that simple, should it?” Sha Lan felt the matter wasn’t so straightforward.

Many Tribes had stockpiled goods before the rainy season arrived. They wouldn’t venture out during such dangerous rain.

“You’ll know when the time comes. Monitor the situation first,” Su Bai said mysteriously.
