Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 233 Large-scale Charity Sale and Exchange Event

It snowed twice in the tribe until the hunting party returned, each snowfall lasting a day and a half.

Every time it snows, it's a little worrying, but luckily, these two snowfalls were not heavy enough to force the hunting party to return.

After the hunting party returned, the tribe held another bonfire feast on the mountaintop.

The mountaintop had been cleared of snow by the tribesmen. Jiang Luoluo put on her new clothes and was carried to the top of the mountain by Ge. The snow was more than a meter thick, enough to bury most of Jiang Luoluo.

Although the path had been cleared to make it walkable, the ground was slippery and Jiang Luoluo was dressed in heavy clothes, making it difficult for her to move around, so she could only rely on Ge.

Although it was called a bonfire feast, food was not the main purpose. In Jiang Luoluo's opinion, it was more like a... large-scale charity sale?

Pieces of animal hides were laid out on the ground. These hides had been stored in the icehouse behind the mountain for a long time, but no one from the tribe had gone to exchange them for them due to various reasons such as "poor condition", "damage", and "too small size".

So, before the snow season, all of these items were taken out and exchanged at a low price for those tribesmen who were not yet fully prepared, so that they could be made into clothes and blankets for the snow season.

The remaining items, after the tribespeople exchanged them, were sent to the Fish Cave and given to the children so that they could also spend the snow season in a warmer environment.

Therefore, the tribespeople do not exchange all the animal hides for food. After all, animal hides have many uses; having an extra piece to spread on the bed or to make clothes would make them warmer.

After their basic needs were met, everyone would leave enough animal hides for the children in the Fish Cave.

A group of teenagers from Fish Cave also came to the top of the mountain. They will be responsible for carrying the remaining animal skins back to the mountain later.

In the past, during the bonfire feasts in the snow season, the children of Yuerdong would always keep their heads down and dare not look at their tribesmen—they were worried that there would not be enough animal hides left to provide warm clothes and blankets for all the children of Yuerdong.

Yet, they dared not look at their tribesmen with expectation or pleading, hoping they would not exchange any more animal hides.

Either way, it would make them feel despicable and pathetic.

But this snow season, the children from Yuerdong who came here were unusually generous, raising their heads and showing bright smiles to all their people.

Because of the work on making fishing line and transparent stones, they had a lot of animal hides and linen in the fish cave, and made a lot of clothes and blankets, so that every child could spend the snowy season warmly.

They no longer need to look to their people with hopeful eyes; they can already give themselves a happy ending.

Besides the animal hides brought out by the tribe, other tribespeople would also bring out things they no longer needed from their homes to exchange for things they wanted.

For example, bone needles that have been used for a long time but are not broken, stone pots with a broken corner but still usable, small stone knives made for children but which they don't like...

In Jiang Luoluo's eyes, most things should be found in a junkyard, but surprisingly, these dilapidated old things are actually quite popular.

Perhaps because it doesn't cost money, everyone exchanges their own junk for other people's junk, gaining a completely new experience.

Carpenter Cong also brought a lot of things to exchange. When Jiang Luoluo took a look, she couldn't help but smile because the wooden products that Carpenter Cong brought out all looked very familiar.

Most of them were custom-made wooden products based on Jiang Luoluo's requests, but a few were modified by him, resulting in a somewhat hybrid design.

These things are only useful to Jiang Luoluo herself; for the other clansmen, they are not even as valuable as the junk belonging to the neighboring clansmen.

So, out of curiosity, the carpenter Cong made some things and developed some new products. However, he found that no one wanted them and most of them ended up unsold.

Taking advantage of the last tribal gathering, I also wanted to see if I could get rid of these things.

It was Jiang Luoluo who came up with it, and she was very interested in the new things that the carpenter had made, so she immediately bought them all, being exceptionally generous.

The items exchanged included many pretty hair ties, several bars of soap, and a bottle of glycerin.

Carpenter Cong was quite satisfied. He was preparing to pursue a young woman from the tribe. A pretty hair tie and soap that could be used to wash feathers and make blankets could win her favor. As for glycerin... he didn't know what it was for, so he would keep it as a gift for now.

Minamoto and Moriya also brought out some of their collections from their new home, not to exchange anything, but mainly to tidy up the space.

After getting married, the two of our belongings took up too much space when put together.

Jiang Luoluo unceremoniously traded a pretty hair tie for a bunch of beautiful feathers—large feathers with very beautiful colors, which would look great as specimens or ornaments.

However, Jiang Luoluo felt that the most suitable thing would be to put it on clothes as an ornament, which would be much lighter and more colorful than stones, bones, teeth, claws, etc.

Along the way, I could hear many tribespeople chatting, and the topics were surprisingly familiar—they were talking about how their children had secretly taken the soap used to wash feathers and made some kind of bubble solution when they weren't looking.

Jiang Luoluo: Ah, this...

What's most infuriating is that very few of these children were able to complete it successfully!

Jiang Luoluo thought, of course, it's very difficult to make bubble solution from plain soapy water, and there's also the issue of proportions. Trying things haphazardly without understanding anything will only result in some soapy water and a beating from her parents.

However, since the bubble solution was something she had made herself, Jiang Luoluo felt a little guilty and quietly walked past these clansmen.

Unexpectedly, a very loud shout came from the side.

"Luo!"

He is the son of the chieftain Jingjia, Nan.

I haven't seen Nan for a while, and she's gotten even bigger than before.

Jiang Luoluo looked at herself again and was surprised to find that she was not much different. She had also grown a lot and was not inferior in terms of size at all.

Then he came to his senses, gave the few tribesmen who had turned their faces away an innocent and sensible smile, and looked south again.

"What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

"Um...this is for you!" Nan sniffed her nose, which was red from the cold, took out two transparent lenses from her bosom, and put them into Jiang Luoluo's arms without saying a word.

"I made this myself! I've already compensated you!"

After making this loud announcement, Nan walked away with his head held high and chest out.

Jiang Luoluo was left looking at the transparent lens in her hand, which still retained a little warmth from her body.

Huh? What is this thing being ground? It looks so ugly.
