Chapter 669, All Very Proud

“How can those actions of yours be compared to perfume?” The stall owner put down the perfume when he saw they did not want to trade.

 

He waved his hand, signalling for them to hurry up and leave, then continued organising his perfumes.

 

“Aren’t you here to trade your goods? How can you trade anything with that attitude?” Kai said with dissatisfaction.

 

Seeing the other party’s disdainful expression, he became even more curious about this perfume.

 

“I’m in no hurry. There are plenty of people who want such amazing items. It’s fine if you don’t want them. That just leaves more for others.” The stall owner said disdainfully.

 

“Could you let us smell it? Just hearing you talk like this, we find it hard to believe.” Li asked, suppressing her temper.

 

“Of course, but you’d better prepare yourselves. It will definitely amaze you.” The stall owner looked confident.

 

Kuang crossed his arms over his chest and said seriously. “If it’s not as good as you claim, I won’t let you off.”

 

He had been holding back his patience all along, and now seeing the other party’s contemptuous manner made him even more annoyed.

 

Unfortunately, this place belonged to the Flame Dragon Tribe, so no matter how angry he got, there was no trouble he could cause.

 

“Well then, are you ready?” The stall owner picked and chose amongst five or six bottles of perfume and selected a small bottle.

 

He smiled mysteriously, pulled out the cork from the opening, and gently waved it in front of everyone.

 

“How’s that? Doesn’t it smell wonderful?” The stall owner asked proudly.

 

Kai closed his eyes and took a deep breath, instantly opening his blue eyes wide in shock. “How can it smell so good?”

 

“There’s a faint floral fragrance, but the scent is very pure.” Li also felt the difference.

 

“This is perfume? I love it.” Lan was instantly captivated.

 

“It really is a fine item.” The serious expression on Kuang’s face also softened somewhat.

 

The stall owner immediately put the cork back, smiling as he asked. “How’s that? I wasn’t lying to you, was I?”

 

He quickly put the perfume back in its place, clapped his hands and showed a proud expression.

 

“How do we trade for this perfume? We’d like to trade for some to take back.” Kai immediately lost his composure.

 

He thought that if he traded for perfume to give to his Mother, she would definitely be happy. After all, women certainly liked such things.

 

“Are there other scents? I see you have many bottles here.” Li was still savouring the scent from just now.

 

“This bottle of perfume is very valuable. I won’t trade it for less than ten bags of dried meat.”

 

The stall owner casually played with his fingernails and continued. “There are other scents too, but it depends on whether you want to trade or not.”

 

His meaning was that if they were sincere about trading, he would bring out other scents for them to smell.

 

“What!? This one bottle of perfume is so expensive!?” Kai doubted whether he had heard correctly.

 

“Impossible! We won’t trade for something so expensive.” Kuang turned and left without hesitation.

 

“But…” Lan was obviously reluctant to leave.

 

The others were the same, all still savouring the fragrance lingering in the air, but had no choice but to follow and leave.

 

*Step step step…*

 

They walked to the next stall, which had some wine displayed.

 

The stall owner was also sitting casually in front of his stall, with his legs crossed, swaying back and forth.

 

All the stalls were actually just Animal Hide, or a few tree leaves spread on the ground, with some goods placed on top.

 

“What’s this?” Kai saw wooden barrels.

 

Those wooden barrels were sealed very tightly, with large pieces of Animal Hide covering them, and not only that, they were also sealed with yellow mud.

 

“This? It’s wine from the Flame Dragon Tribe. I traded a lot of dried meat to get this out.” The stall owner proudly said.

 

“Wine? What’s wine?” Kai felt he’d heard too many new words today.

 

And he felt that every stall owner looked very proud, as if they looked down on others.

 

“You don’t even know what wine is? This is something unique to the Flame Dragon Tribe.” The stall owner looked at him as if he were looking at an idiot.

 

“How would I know? You said it yourself, this is something unique to the Flame Dragon Tribe.”

 

Kai was a bit indignant and continued asking. “What exactly is this thing? If you don’t tell us, how can we trade?”

 

“I feel like the people here all seem very proud.” Lan said softly.

 

“Yes, as if they look down on us.” Li also frowned.

 

“Wine is something to drink. I guarantee that once you drink it, you’ll definitely fall in love with it.” The stall owner did not spare any exaggerated words of praise. He still had no intention of standing up, and his crossed legs continued swaying leisurely.

 

“Can you let us try some? We need to taste it to know whether we want to trade or not.” Kuang became curious about the wine.

 

Although the wooden barrels were sealed tightly, when you got close you could still smell the fragrance.

 

This fragrance was a faint wine aroma that smelled quite nice, which made him curious.

 

“Letting you have a drink isn’t a problem, but you have to want to trade. If you want to trade, I’ll let you drink.” The stall owner seemed in no hurry.

 

“Just let us have a drink. If we think it tastes good, we’ll definitely trade.” Kuang said without hesitation.

 

Only then did the stall owner slowly get up and open a wine barrel that had been opened beforehand.

 

He took two wooden cups and scooped out a little from inside, handing them over: “Just this much. You can take turns savouring it.”

 

After giving them the cups, he sealed the wooden barrel again, afraid that the aroma inside would escape.

 

After Kuang received the cup, he took a deep sniff. The wine fragrance that hit his nose brought a smile to his face.

 

He was the first to take a small sip and praised. “Mmm! This taste! Amazing!”

 

What he drank was wheat wine, with a rich wheat fragrance hitting the nose, plus the well-fermented wine tasted particularly strong. Just smelling it was intoxicating, let alone tasting it.

 

“It really is amazing.” Kai also loved it.

 

After Luo finished drinking, his red eyes widened in surprise. “This is too good. I love it!”

 

Compared to the other two girls, they were more reserved. Their fondness for it was lukewarm.

 

“I only have this kind of wine here, but there are many wines suitable for girls in the Flame Dragon Tribe.” The stall owner spoke enthusiastically for the first time.

 

“Really? Are there more different wines to drink?” Li wanted to see if this wine had other flavours.

 

Because the sip of wine she just had really wasn’t to her liking. It had a burning sensation in the throat.

 

“Why would I lie to you? So, how much do you want to trade for?” The stall owner immediately asked.

 

“How do you trade this wine?” Kuang was interested in goods for the first time.

 

“Twenty bags of dried meat for one barrel.” The stall owner said without changing his expression.

 

“Are you joking!?” Kai became angry after hearing this.
