I Transmigrated Into A Fantasy World To Farm And Build Houses!-Chapter 291: Exchanging Wine for People

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Exchanging Wine for People
Eric also found it inconvenient to comment much on the kingdom’s behavior, but seeing them like this, he couldn’t help but feel a bit sorrowful.
Sunflower was also a straightforward beastman; being forced to do this certainly didn’t feel good in his heart either.
Being beastmen yet bullying the weak was something the beastman world despised the most.
Although the beastmen on the Illusion Dream Continent lived scattered apart, there had never been a case of beastmen bullying the weak like this; everyone held such actions in extreme contempt.
Max rubbed the head of the dejected Eric:
"We just happened to meet them, so we sat down to discuss for a while. In short, the kingdom wants to turn beastmen into goods, isn’t it just for gold coins?
We don’t have gold coins, but we have magic nuclei and food, as well as other items. Just like that, the Rabbit tribe beastmen can stay in our tribe; after all, it’s better than being sold to humans."
Arthur, sitting silently beside Eric, heard this and sized up the Rabbit tribe:
"Can these rabbits work?"
The bodies of the huddled rabbits immediately stiffened, and terror appeared in their eyes. If the Snow Wolf people criticized them for being unable to work, they would only end up being sold as slaves to humans.
Annoyed, Eric kicked Arthur hard with his hind leg. Although he didn’t know what he had said wrong, Arthur still obediently shut his mouth.
A slightly larger lop-eared rabbit trembled and took a step forward. He heard that the little Snow Wolf who had just arrived was the patriarch, so without time to think about why a child could be the patriarch, he said with a trembling voice:
"Our Rabbit tribe can also do many things. We can act as bait, and we know how to plant radishes too. Please don’t sell us to humans."
Perhaps they themselves felt that such conditions weren’t very attractive. The whole group of rabbits held their breath in suspense, dozens of pairs of eyes fixed on Eric, waiting nervously.
"Radishes?" Eric’s ears perked up. What, these rabbits know how to plant radishes? That’s great!
Hope flared in the rabbits’ eyes, and they nodded hurriedly.
"The carrots and white radishes we grow are both big and crisp; even Snow Wolf people will definitely like eating them!" A bolder rabbit said loudly.
A timid rabbit tremblingly chimed in: "Also, also can make soup, for the children to eat."
Originally, Eric had no intention of disliking the Rabbit tribe, and now he was even happier. The tribe would have a new type of vegetable, and radishes were very good vegetables that could be kept for a long time!
"Even without radishes, we wouldn’t abandon you. Welcome to join the Hadu tribe!" He declared loudly.
A smile appeared in the eyes of Grass and the other Snow Wolves; they didn’t expose his little thoughts.
The rabbits breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other with teary eyes, and cheered softly to celebrate escaping disaster.
Sunflower’s solemn expression also softened a lot: "Sigh, we discussed for a while but still didn’t know how many goods to take back to make it right."
Michael was silent for a moment before speaking:
"Just now we mentioned using food and magic nuclei to exchange, but the price isn’t easy to negotiate, and the kingdom doesn’t lack these things; they want gold coins more. Eric, the wine you brewed can be exchanged for a lot of things in the human world. Can it be used to exchange for these Rabbit tribe beastmen with the kingdom?"
Hearing this, Max also looked down at Eric.
Eric’s furry face looked very serious. He propped up his chin to think for a while and then said:
"There are still a few jars of berry wine in the cellar. As for the white liquor, apart from the portion for the Dwarves, the remaining jars were all exchanged with the Ox-Head tribe last time. The new wine hasn’t been brewed yet, but I can make sticky rice wine for you. By the time you return, this wine will be just ready."
Hearing about sticky rice wine, Sunflower’s face twisted slightly. Last time the three of them got dead drunk and almost slept rolling in the snow all night. Fortunately, they happened to meet tribesmen coming to look for them and were picked up, but it was still very embarrassing.
But having said that, the taste of sticky rice wine was indeed delicious. Sunflower had a not-so-low status in the kingdom and had drunk good wine brewed by humans, even buying wine from the Elf tribe through merchant channels.
Yet the Snow Wolf people’s sticky rice wine was not inferior to those wines at all; he still remembered that flavor quite well.
This type of wine fetched a high price when exchanged with humans; using it to trade for these Rabbit tribe beastmen wouldn’t be bad.
"Berry wine and white liquor... I really want to taste them. Since sticky rice wine is so delicious, the other wines you brew certainly won’t be inferior." Sunflower licked his lips and said.
At the mention of wine, the Tiger warriors temporarily forgot their dissatisfaction with the kingdom’s upper class and gathered around to ask noisily.
"Sticky rice wine? Is that the wine that made Sunflower drunk as a fish last time?"
"Sunflower said that wine is sweet and tastes very good; I’ve wanted to taste it for a long time."
"Even if we exchange for it, it will be brought back to the kingdom. Is there any share for you to be excited about?"
If there was still white liquor, this group of Tigers would probably like it more. Eric couldn’t help thinking, could they trade with the Golden Kingdom in the future? Their white liquor would certainly be very popular.
It was just that this idea had to wait until Leo’s mother came to power. The current high-ranking officials of the kingdom who could decide to sell weak beastmen as goods to humans couldn’t be anything good. He didn’t want them to use it as an excuse to attack the Hadu tribe.
If only he knew the current power distribution of the kingdom. Love me, love my dog; Eric was also a bit worried about the situation of Leo’s mother. Moreover, if she succeeded early, other races would suffer a little less.
The original novel didn’t describe the Golden Kingdom much; after all, Leo was just a supporting male character in the story, and his background was described in even less detail.
But reading later on, when Leo became a prince, the slavery system of the Golden Kingdom couldn’t be abolished because it involved the interests of many people.
However, the story didn’t write that the kingdom traded slaves with humans; perhaps Leo’s mother abolished this rule after coming to power.
Clitus was unconvinced and argued back with another warrior: "I also have magic nuclei and gold coins. Can’t I exchange for a little wine to drink!"
The heavy atmosphere was broken. The worries of the Rabbit tribe beastmen and the Tiger warriors were temporarily resolved, and everyone’s expressions became much more relaxed.
Eric was a bit worried in his heart about Sunflower trading the Rabbit tribe to the Snow Wolves on his own initiative, wondering if he would be punished after returning.
But on second thought, the kingdom had gone crazy to this extent. Since they were exchanging the Rabbit tribe for gold coins anyway, exchanging them with the Snow Wolves was better.
They were even taking the Rabbit tribe, who were fellow beastmen, to trade with humans. In the future, they might even target other beastman tribes; one really couldn’t help but be on guard.
Sunflower glanced at the Rabbit tribe beastmen huddled not far away, with the joy of escaping disaster on their faces, and sighed in his heart.
When he received this order, he was both shocked and confused, but he couldn’t resist. On the way, although they tried to travel slowly, they had captured quite a few weak herbivorous beastmen.
When capturing this group of Rabbits, they happened to meet the Snow Wolves of the Hadu tribe in this area. Max first took action to save the Rabbit tribe beastmen. After recognizing Sunflower, Max stopped the other Snow Wolves, and only then could the two sides sit down and talk.
While they were discussing without a result, Eric and that strange young man arrived, solving their problem. Otherwise, this matter would have been truly difficult to resolve.
