Chapter 23 - Selling Salt (Part 2)

Li Fan didn't know that he had almost been 'kissed by a snake' just now, and he already had an idea.

To break the current deadlock, it is difficult to say it is difficult, but it is also very simple to say it. There is still a lack of the first person to eat the crab. As long as there is the first person, the remaining orcs will naturally buy salt under the herd mentality.

The question now is how to attract the first person to eat crabs?

As a son and daughter of China, Li Fan has inherited the wisdom that has been passed down by China for thousands of years. If he cannot solve this small problem, it is estimated that his ancestors will not let him go even if they are ghosts.

Placing bags of salt in front of him, Li Fan shouted again to the orcs on the hill.

"Friends of the orcs, although I am a human being, I was invited by Her Highness Anna to come here to trade with you. I am very grateful to Her Highness Anna for this. In order to repay Her Highness Anna's broad mind, I decided to be the first to trade with you. I will give him a small bag of salt for free."

Anna on the side was slightly stunned after hearing this.

What is this guy talking about? When did she invite him? Wasn't it because he, Li Fan, was so shameless that he wanted to come? And what kind of broad mind?

Thinking about it, Ana couldn't help but look down at her chest.

Although it is indeed vast, how can you say it so loudly?

Dina, who was also on the side, was also stunned, but the difference was that she was stunned when she heard Li Fan mention Anna but not her.

Dina therefore also looked down at her chest.

Although she is not as good as her sister, she has a broad mind, and she is still young, so she still has a lot of room for growth.

...

Regardless of what the sisters thought, Li Fan's words successfully caused a commotion among the orcs on the hill.

It's free! That's free!

People's resistance is weakest when faced with free things, especially when the free things happen to be what you need.

The discussion among the orcs is getting louder and louder, but unfortunately, no one is willing to take the first step.

Xiaoqing was slightly relieved when she saw this. To be honest, when she heard that it was free, she was actually a little excited, but in order to win Li Fan, she still held it back.

Just when Xiaoqing thought Li Fan's plan had failed, a thin figure suddenly emerged from among the orcs on the hill.

That was a youth from the fox tribe, younger than Xiao Qing, less than ten years old.

Compared with other orc boys and girls, he looks particularly thin, and the hair on his ears and tail is also dull.

At this time, he emerged from the pile of orcs, staring blankly in the direction of Li Fan, aiming at the bags of salt.

The fox boy looked at the salt in the distance hesitantly. Finally, he seemed to be unable to bear the temptation and took the first step in the direction of Li Fan.

However, before the fox boy took the second step, an old hand covered with calluses grabbed his shoulder, "Muqi, what are you doing? Are you going to believe in that human being? Have you forgotten to believe in human beings?" What's the end? They won't do anything now, but as long as you trust them once, they will try their best to deceive you into more trust, until one day they deceive you out of their territory, and then capture you and sell you into slavery. merchant."

The youth from the fox tribe called Mu Qi turned around and looked at the owner of the palm. He was Grandpa Mu Feng, an old man from the fox tribe.

Mu Qi glanced at Grandpa Mufeng, then looked in the direction of Li Fan, gritted his teeth for the last time, and said to Grandpa Mufeng: "Grandpa Mufeng, but I need salt. My mother was not good at hunting to begin with, and even more so after she was injured. She didn't eat any salt, and now she can't even stand up. My mother and I both need salt."

"Didn't we agree to find a solution about the salt matter..."

"But Grandpa Mufeng, you are also short of salt! I know, I have known it for a long time. Everyone is in need. Even though everyone is in need of salt, they still need to help our family. If this continues, everyone will not be able to hold on. I can't give up on this. Chances are, with those salts, my mother may be able to get better. Then I will go hunting with my mother, and maybe I can change the situation. Now Her Royal Highness Dina and Her Royal Highness Anna from the Silver Wolf Clan are here, at least they are safe now, I Can't pass up this opportunity."

As he spoke, Mu Qi raised his feet again and walked in the direction of Li Fan.

Grandpa Mufeng raised his hand. This time he did not stop Muqi. As Muqi said, this was a rare opportunity for Muqi and his son.

Muqi's behavior quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mu Qi was a little nervous, but his steps were extremely determined.

Soon, Mu Qi walked up to Li Fan.

Xiaoqing on the side was very angry when he saw this and wanted to catch Muqi and beat him.

On the contrary, Li Fan was very happy and showed what he thought was a gentle smile to Mu Qi.

This smiling face did not dispel Muqi's vigilance, but made Muqi even more nervous.

Muqi bit his lip first, and then said: "Human, you...are you telling the truth?"

"Of course" Li Fan looked very happy at this time, and immediately grabbed a bag of salt and handed it to Mu Qi.

Muqi took the salt in disbelief. He did not leave immediately. Instead, he opened the animal skin bag, dipped his fingers into some salt, and put it in his mouth.

The next moment Muqi's eyes widened and he couldn't help but say, "Is this really table salt? Why is it neither bitter nor astringent?"

Everyone who lives in the Sin Forest, whether they are orcs or humans, in their impression, salt is bitter, astringent and has a strange smell. Eating too much can even make people want to vomit.

Therefore, Muqi, who had tasted such high-quality salt for the first time, even suspected that it was fake salt.

But he quickly confirmed, "This smell, yes, it is indeed table salt. This is the first time I have seen such good table salt. With such good table salt, my mother should get better soon."

Muqi muttered, and then quickly ran back to the direction of the hill. He wanted to go back immediately to add salt to his mother so that she could get better quickly.

When the orcs on the hill saw this, they immediately fell into discussion again. Many of them looked at Muqi with envy, and they only regretted why they were not the first to come forward.

Seeing this, Li Fan immediately pursued the victory and announced loudly on the spot: "Just now it was to thank Her Royal Highness Anna for her broad mind, and now to thank Her Royal Highness Dina for her broad mind, the second and third people who came to me were in my hands. The bag of salt is divided equally between the two of them and is also free."

As soon as these words came out, a smile appeared on Dina's face for some reason, and the orcs on the hill suddenly became commotion.

First: Muqi's success just now made their hearts flutter.

Secondly: Li Fan gave the salt very happily just now and almost didn't speak.

What the orcs feared most was that cunning humans would deceive them. Now that Li Fan really only gave him salt and made no other demands, they suddenly became interested.

Soon, only a few seconds passed, and two orcs walked in the direction of Li Fan. One of them was Grandpa Mufeng. He led another fox tribe to Li Fan.

Grandpa Mufeng stared at Li Fan without saying anything, while the other fox man didn't speak at all.

It was obvious that the two fox men were still very wary of Li Fan.

Li Fan still didn't care and happily handed over a bag of salt again.

Grandpa Mufeng took the salt and left without saying anything, pulling another fox man with him.
