Chapter 172 Teahouse Merchants
"My lord, this is the card it dropped." After everyone left, Du Yu secretly slipped a card into Qin Ziwen's palm.

Qin Ziwen glanced at the card.

[Building Card] Level 1 Leather Armor Workshop.

Silently putting the cards away, Du Yu then walked to the corpse of the dragon and used his knife to cut off its claws one by one.

These jet-black, sharp claws are natural daggers.

It is extremely hard and sharp.

Then there's its fur. After being dragged all the way, its fur was damaged to some extent, but fortunately, the meat inside was preserved.

Such a large corpse would take too long for one person to handle, so Qin Ziwen called on everyone to help cut the meat, and everyone worked enthusiastically.

The commotion attracted the attention of onlookers. Dinosaur meat is a rare commodity at this stage. Although people have seen it, very few have actually eaten it.

From behind, a figure approached. Encouraged by his teammates, Zheng Yuan stepped forward somewhat embarrassed and asked, "President Qin, is this meat for sale?"

Qin Ziwen looked up with a smile on his face. "Long time no see. I'm not selling meat, but since we're friends, I can give you two jin for free."

Zheng Yuan felt somewhat ashamed, "President Qin, this..."

He hadn't seen Qin Ziwen since his failed attempt to invite him to join the team.

The residential complex, consisting of ten buildings, is neither very large nor very small.

The only two times they met were when the giant hyena pack attacked last time, and now.

Zheng Yuan said, "I appreciate your kindness. I'll bring you some sugarcane later. Don't refuse. Since you consider me a friend, we should reciprocate."

"Haha, sure, it's been a while since I've had sugarcane," Qin Ziwen laughed.

"I was lucky enough to get a sugarcane forest resource card during the settlement. It's not a lot, but it'll be enough to enjoy a little sweetness from time to time," Zheng Yuan said with a smile.

As they talked, they became even more familiar with each other.

Zheng Yuan couldn't help but sigh, "You've changed a lot. It's only been a short time since I last saw you, and you've become the president of the Qin Alliance. I saw you hunting the Flesh Rift Beast earlier; you were very skilled, your teamwork was excellent, and your weapons were top-notch."

At this point, Zheng Yuan felt a pang of envy.

He joined the alliance later due to circumstances, which was a bit late. In addition, there were too many hunting teams in the alliance, so he didn't make much progress. Fortunately, he had discovered the altar before, and the team got a few cards. In addition, he got a share of the settlement of the homeland during the second time travel. He was better off than some but not as good as others.

Qin Ziwen smiled and shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated. By the way, Brother Zheng, your beard is getting longer and longer."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yuan stroked his thick beard and said helplessly, "My beard has been growing thick since I was a child, making me look older. When I was in high school, elementary school students often called me 'uncle'."

Qin Ziwen laughed when he heard this, "That's great. People called you uncle in high school, and they still call you uncle after graduation. You can be considered an ageless god."

"Screw you."

Just as the two were chatting, they heard the sound of a bicycle.

The sound moves from far to near.

A red mountain bike, with its distinctive whirring sound of gears, passed by the two men and finally stopped in front of Luo Gang.

The boy pressed the brake, put his left foot on the ground, stopped the bicycle, and said pantingly, "Teacher Luo! A caravan is coming. This time the caravan is very large, with twenty people, and they also have oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages."

"Have some water first, speak slowly, don't rush." ​​Luo Gang took a glass of water from the table next to him and handed it to the boy.

The boy took a couple of sips of water to moisten his dry throat, and after catching his breath, his voice regained its strength: "Zhou Xiaqing has temporarily stabilized the caravan. The caravan is also quite interested in some of the things we brought out, and has agreed to wait another half day."

Luo Gang praised, "You did a great job."

The boy gripped the handlebars and called out, "Teacher Luo, shall we go back now? Or I can give you a ride on my bicycle." "Wait a moment," Luo Gang said, gesturing for the boy to sit down first.

Then he found Qin Ziwen and Zou Jianghe and told them about it.

Qin Ziwen was also curious about the merchants: "Okay, let's go back then, it's getting dark."

Zou Jianghe glanced at the sky and said, "Okay, it's getting late."

After making their decision, the group gathered everyone to prepare to return.

Looking at the group cleaning up, Luo Gang glanced back at the puddle.

His original intention was to set up a simple encampment here today, preferably with someone stationed there, to completely occupy this water resource point, and use it as a base to hunt wild animals and form a second base.

But after today's on-site operation, we realized that the plan was somewhat rushed and hasty.

The temperature drops at night, and the Gobi Desert becomes lively, making it somewhat dangerous to leave people here.

After packing up their belongings, the long line of two hundred people headed back the way they came.

It was already 7 p.m. when I got back to my apartment complex.

Qin Ziwen had Du Yu ride Red Hare and take the horned eagle to the southern altar to retrieve the cards that had been refreshed that day. Then he found Jia Liangcai and asked him about the preparation of the trading materials.

Jia Liangcai replied, "Reporting to my lord, preparations are complete."

Jia Liangcai led him to the open space behind the corner. After the area was renovated, a large amount of metal and parts removed from cars were piled up on the open space.

According to him, many of the items inside had been selected by Li Tieshan, leaving behind only "scrap iron" that was difficult to reprocess or had a low cost-performance ratio.

In addition, there are two pieces of leather that have undergone preliminary processing.

“I remember tanned leather was a forbidden item in the Great Yong Dynasty,” Qin Ziwen said, pointing to the leather.

Jia Liangcai smiled slightly and looked at his lord: "The more it is forbidden, the more valuable it becomes. However, this item cannot be sold openly, as there are many merchants who are not interested in it, so it must be traded privately."

Qin Ziwen understood, and the two exchanged a smile.

With Jia Liangcai, a former official from the Dayong region, around, Qin Ziwen felt relatively at ease.

They called upon some members of the Qin Alliance to help move the goods to the teaching building.

Now, nearly three-quarters of the students in the teaching building have moved to the residential area.

The remaining hundred or so people stayed in the building.

Because there are eight homes inside the building, almost all the cards obtained in the last world are here, and they are hard to part with. Those who remain in the building are mostly male.

Upon seeing Qin Ziwen arrive with his group, the boys enthusiastically stepped forward to help, carrying the items to classroom 305 on the third floor.

This classroom was converted into a reception room, and inside there is also a simple teahouse with a bamboo shed and wooden frame, which is the main body of the traveling merchant's teahouse.

Five merchants sat upright in the reception room.

They sat leisurely and relaxed, listening to Luo Gang's quote while whispering among themselves, constantly trying to lower the price.

The door opened, and Qin Ziwen walked in, followed by Jia Liangcai, who was hunched over and had his head down, looking like an ordinary old man.

Jia Liangcai discreetly observed the five people, finally settling on the merchant on the left, who was wearing a blue silk robe. Jia Liangcai sensed a familiar aura emanating from him.
