Chapter 331 334 Cooperation
Because the smile on Allen's face was the same as that on some fat bosses she had seen before. It was evil and dangerous!
"But what does it have to do with me? As long as Allen can let me get what I want, it has nothing to do with me even if Ming died today!"
Jessica had a clear mind.
When Ming heard Allen's words, he immediately revealed a brilliant smile that even his were exposed.
"Oh, Master Allen, that's a deal! I will provide beast's hide and you will provide dried fish!"
"No problem. But I have a question. How should we change it?"
"I don't understand. I'll leave it to you, Master Allen."
Ming asked Allen to make the decision.
Allen also pretended to think about it with a smile. But when he had considered the use of the rest of the dried fish, Allen had thought of that use.
"But I didn't know that Ming liked dried fish so much before, so I've changed my strategy now. First of all, raise the price of dried fish and then suppress the value of beast's hide clothes."
Allen felt relieved.
"Well, let me ask you a question first. How many people will go out together if you go hunting?"
Ming didn't expect that Allen would ask him such a question, but he said a number.
"Eight, right? That's all you need to do to kill the prey and obtain its fur."
Allen made a gesture in front of Ming.
Ming understood at a glance that Allen was going to do a measurement.
"That's right!"
So Ming didn't say anything and let Allen continue.
"The amount of manpower on our end is eight. We only have one more Luan than you. But considering that Luan is from your tribe, I'll rule him out."
Ming nodded, indicating that what Allen said was reasonable.
"Then we have to consider the time now. It took us nearly four days to catch these yellow croaks and then make them dry."
Hearing Allen's question, although Ming wanted to lie that they had hunted for a longer time than Allen did, he realized that it was unrealistic for him to lie at this time.
"I almost forget that Luan is with Allen now. I can't lie to him. It will be embarrassing if he is exposed!"
Ming told the truth.
"Generally, we go out to hunt for one to two days, but because some prey is cunning, or if there is an accident, our hunting time will extend..."
Ming wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Allen.
"Okay, I see. Then I'll extend your hunting time. We can also erase the time and energy spent in your peeling process. But there's one thing, that's the way I made the dried fish. It's my wisdom, and the pickling technique is also a skill of mine."
Allen's words made Ming open his mouth as if he wanted to say something to refute Allen. But when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say, so he could only nod to show that he had admitted Allen's words.
"So, I'm setting the price now. A beast's hide can be exchanged for eight dried fish. What do you think of this price?"
"More, more!"
Ming said after hesitating for a while. Then he said that sometimes when they caught their prey, some savages would be injured, or there would be some problems, which could cause a loss.
Allen was not surprised to hear that. The reason why he made the price so low was to let Ming raise the price and then give Ming a feeling of earning money.
"Well, then... I can add two more for you!"
Hearing Allen's words, Ming ignored the hesitation and embarrassment on Allen's face and continued, "Besides, Master Allen, Jessica... She is learning new production methods here... Don't you think...?"
"Well, I know what you are going to say. Add five more!"
Allen interrupted Ming's words. Then he took a look at Jessica as if he was saying that it was all your fault!
You make me have to pay more dried fish!
This was what Ming saw in his eyes.
But what Jessica saw was different. She saw Allen winking at her calmly.
She realized that Allen wanted her to show her acting skills! So Jessica immediately grabbed Allen's arm and shouted, "Allen! No! 15 dried fish in exchange for the beast's hide clothes. You can hunt the prey. Why do you trade with the savages like this? I know you appreciate their help, but you don't have to make such a big sacrifice, do you? The girls like eating dried fish the most!"
After saying that, Jessica began to cry, which shocked Allen, let alone Ming.
"Oh my God!"
Ming panicked. He was completely conquered by Jessica's acting skills.
He couldn't help but look at Allen, while Allen nodded at Ming, indicating that there was nothing wrong. Let him handle it!
"You are wrong, Jessica. The savages have helped us a lot. We have to repay them. Besides, we have made so many concessions today. Won't Ming take it seriously? Won't he be moved?"
As Allen spoke, he looked at Ming. Jessica also looked at Ming with her big tearful eyes.
Ming let out a cry. Under the gaze of Allen and Jessica, he said, "That's right! Master Allen is right! I'm not that kind of mean person. Since Master Allen and Jessica have sacrificed so much, there's no need for me to continue to hide!"
"There are 10 sets of beast's skins in our tribe. They are large and heavy, but they are not made. I will also add them to our deal. I promise that Allen won't be cold this winter!"
Ming took out the beast's hide at the bottom of his chest. Allen and Jessica looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise because now they had their winter clothes!
Jessica looked at Ming and thought happily.
"Then I can make clothes according to my idea! Wow, that's great! We girls are not fat and then we can save a lot of beast skins. The extra beast's skins can be used to make... Hat, shoes, and gloves! That's great!"
Jessica was so happy that she even wanted to kiss Allen as a reward.
But when Jessica looked at Allen's face, she realized that she didn't like men.
"Oh, but why does my heart beat so fast? Oh, I see. It's because I'm too excited now!"
"Hey, Jessica, can't you calm down? It's just 10 winter clothes that you can make as you like. Why are you so fussy?"
