The rabbit beastman smiled, and nodded, "Yes… Would you want to purchase three of our carts too?"
The tribe leader hesitatingly asked, "We can… purchase it?" He is confused and has never heard of a cart.
The rabbit beastman nodded at him, "Yes. You would need it. It will be much easier for you to do trades."
Jia Ting looked at the trade leader, he only signaled him. "We will check what it is first."
"Carts can move and carry heavy objects. We use it to move our things while traveling," the rabbit beastman described it very beautifully.
"That's convenient." However, he wouldn't say yes immediately without knowing what a cart is. They would need to know first what it is, the use of it and how it will benefit the traders just as they describe it to be. If it really does carry a heavy load of goods then they would buy it. He even thought of recreating it after buying it for them.
Just imagining that they won't need big leaves and fabrics to carry everything…. It seems so good to be true.
The rabbit beastman chuckled and nodded, "It is. It will be very convenient for you traders to get carts and use it to carry the goods that you will be trading to one tribe to another."
"And how much will it be?" Jia Ting intervened. The cart is painted with those descriptions and benefits that they might get but until now they haven't stated what kind of goods that carts can be traded for.. He wouldn't want to buy a cart that they can't afford or too much goods for them to trade.
The rabbit beastman looked at his leader. The tiger beastman answers with no hesitation, "At least a full pouch of salt or a pouch of any ingredients that could make the food tasty."
A full pouch of salt can also be traded for five sacks of fruits or two full sacks of meat. That's how expensive it is. However, for them one full pouch of salt is negotiable. If the cart is really that good. They might trade for it. As for the other ingredients, it will depend on if it's worth it. "After the checks, we'll see if we will buy it."
"Sure. You can check the goods and the cart." They can feel the confidence of the tiger beastman. He then suddenly looked at his back. "They arrived."
They all looked toward where the noises came from and saw a big thing that had two wooden circular things on the side of it making it move as the beastmen pulled it… It does make noise but not too loud.
One cart has two beastman dragging it toward them. The one who is dragging the first cart is Wou and the beastman who follows him. There was an addition of four beastman who are now pulling the cart. Two tiger beastman and another two puma beastman.
"Most probably you will need three and four beastman to pull the cart. However, the cart is not that heavy to pull, one to two beastman is enough to pull it," the rabbit beastman explained.
There is a fur skin that hides what is in the carts. However, those who have a sensitive smell know where meat and fruit is. The first cart has meat but other smells got mixed in, which they don't know what it is.
"Yes. You can carry a lot of things with it. We will open this one first. Just so you can see how much we stock in it." He pulled the fur. "It's full of smoked meat."
"Smoked meat?"
"Yes. This smoked meat can be eaten and lasts until mid winter. We already put some salt in it. However, you can only exchange it with spicy ingredients or plants that can make food spicy." the rabbit beastman explained.
"That's great. Can we inspect it?" The inspector was full of curiosity towards this smoked meat and stepped up.
"Sure. We can also trade the way to smoke the meat with another way of cooking food," the tiger beastman stated, which made them immediately interested.
"Okay. We can talk about it later." The trade leader watched not juts his inspectors but also physicians surround the smoked meat.
"Can we inspect the cart too?" Jia Ting looked at Shun Su who suddenly spoke up. He then remembered before Shun Su even became what he is right now. Shun Su was learning from an old beastman with wood crafts.
"Can we?" Jia Ting asked again.
"Sure." And with that some beastman who has a background of wood crafting and Shun Su checked what the cart looked like.
"How did you think of creating this?" Shun Su asked when he saw the rabbit beastman joining in.
The rabbit beastman shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not sure, our master has all the ideas to create many things."
"He is that talented," Shun Su muttered as he touched the circular thing.
He felt that he could make this cart too. He just needs to inspect it thoroughly and maybe deconstruct it.
"That's right. Our master is talented," the rabbit beastman proudly said.
Shun Su stood up and asked, "Is Master his name?"
Stunned, "Huh? Ah, no," then chuckles, "Master is like a Tribe leader in your terms. We just don't have a tribe. He is the one in power."
"And what are you?"
"Advisor. I would most of the time the mouth of our master. The one who gives advice to our master on what might happen or what steps we could take. Do you have those?" the rabbit beastman inquired.
"Yes, but with no name or title." Shun Su thinks that he is one of advisors. He holds all information that is why most of the time, he is the one that their tribe leader asks when a problem arises. For Shun Su, there is no reason for him to tell that to the rabbit beastman.
"You're looking for a place to stay right?" the rabbit beastman nodded at Shun Su's question. "Do take note that all tribes might not welcome you."
The rabbit beastman chuckles in embarrassment. He still took his opportunity, "We know. We tried. Your tribe… Are visitors allowed?"
