The Tiny Lina Maya

Chapter 176 - A Lot of Selling

When Lina had free time, she would practice archery in a courtyard, on the wood she had targeted.

Lina's talent in this field wasn't bad, even though she was self-taught, but she still practiced earnestly.

"After training for a few days, at least now I've been able to hit right on target. Of the ten arrows, eight hit the target. I'm pretty good too.." Inner Lina.

During archery practice, the wine from the sweet fruit and pickled bamboo shoots that he kept, was finally ready to eat.

That night, Uriel boiled a pot of meat mixed with bamboo shoots, and added with sweet fruit wine. Lina's family ate really well and really enjoyed tonight's meal.

Just suddenly..

"Is there anyone in the house?"

Nano comes to Lina's house, to discuss business with Uriel.

"Is mister Uriel around?"

"Yes. Just a minute." Answer Uriel.

After saying so, Uriel immediately got up from the seat, and walked towards the door to meet the guest.

"What's wrong?" Ask Uriel to Nano.

Nano said, "Maybe in two more days, I will return to the City of Sun. My purpose is to come here, to buy some vegetables and fruits, which I will bring to the City of the Sun. Besides, do you still have a bamboo basket like yesterday? I'd also like to buy some more, if it's still there."

Recently, the weather has gotten colder. Saga and Uriel decide not to go hunting at night. They stayed at home and made many bamboo baskets.

"How much do you want?" Ask Uriel to Nano.

Nano answered hesitantly, "What.. One hundred is okay?" 

"Too many. I can only give you fifty." Uriel.

Then Nano thought for a moment, after which said, "Fifty is also enough." 

That amount to him was still lacking, but that was still better than nothing. 

Fifty bamboo baskets, replaced with ten colorless Crystal Stones. In addition, Nano also buys a lot of fruits and vegetables, which is much more than before. He also paid for all those vegetables and fruits with two blue Crystal Stones. 

Uriel took all the Crystals, saying to Nano, "Winter is coming soon. Once you get to Sun City, are you just going to be back here when spring starts?"

Nano nodded, then said, "Yes, the weather in winter is too bad to run a business, otherwise I wouldn't have bought so many fruits and vegetables this much." 

"It's going to be very cold outside. If you freeze, you lose consciousness. That's very dangerous."  Uriel.

After imagining and feeling scared to the point of freezing, Nano nodded her head several times non-stop while saying, "Yes, yes.." 

"We have a special kind of water, which can make the bodies of the Orcs feel warm after drinking it. By drinking that water, at least it will be able to keep the body warm in winter." Uriel. 

Upon hearing what Uriel said, Nano's eyes sparkled immediately, then he asked with interest, "What kind of water is it, sir? Will you show it to me?"

Wiro who picked up the wine, poured the wine into a wooden glass, and handed it to Nano to taste. 

As soon as Nano received the wine glass, he could smell the sweet fruit. 

"There's a sweet fruit in this water?" 

Hearing what Nano asked, Wiro laughed, "Haha.. Your nose is pretty sharp too. In that water, it is indeed added with sweet fruit." 

The wine made from the sweet fruit was indeed sweet, and it was slightly close to the taste of the wine. In addition, the alcohol content is also not high. But for Nano who had never drank wine at all, it was enough to make him a little bit drunk. His body also now began to feel a little warm after drinking the wine.

"Hmmm.. This water will definitely be very much in demand during the winter!" Think Nano.

Seeing this very promising business opportunity, Nano immediately asked the price of the wine.

"How much is this wine? I want to buy it too." Tanya Nano to Wiro.

Wiro tapped on the stone jar he was holding, saying, "One of these wine jars was exchanged for one blue Crystal Stone. We can only sell ten jars, no more." 

That said, the price is quite expensive. But for Nano, who is an Orc businessman, he knows that the efficacy of the drink is worth the price! 

Then Wiro said with a smile, "To be honest, it's not easy to make wine like this. Our family only made twenty jars of wine this year. We can also share it, the ten you bought, and the remaining ten for our family. If it wasn't for you acquaintance of Uriel, we'd only sell him two jars at most."

"But.. Ten jars is really too little. I can also get more Crystal Stones. Can you sell more?" Ask Nano again to Wiro.

From inside the house, Saga, who had been invisible and silent, suddenly showed herself and opened her mouth to say, with a very cold tone of voice, "There are only ten jars. Please leave if you don't want to buy it." 

On a typical day in the Stone Wolf tribe, Nano met and conversed more often with Uriel and Wiro, and he also rarely saw Saga and had never once spoken to her.

In his impression, "He looks very cold. This man must be very difficult to get close to a male Orc."

In reality, there were indeed many Orcs who felt fear, despite only seeing Saga's cold expression.

At this moment, Saga who had just suddenly opened her mouth, and her cold breath that was hitting Nano's face, had made Nano afraid to speak again.

Then immediately, he took out ten blue-colored Crystal Stones, and then called out to the men behind him, "You guys bring these jars as well, then soon we get ready to return."

After Nano left, Lina came out of the kitchen. While the men were talking about business, Lina wanted to go out and join Uriel and Wiro for business, but she was immediately pushed back into the kitchen by Wiro.

Wiro said, "Let the three of us talk about this business. You stay here, don't show up."

That is what Uriel wants.

Although Nano had signed the contract and would not divulge about the true situation of the Stone Wolf tribe to outsiders, but after all, Nano was also an outsider. Besides, he is also a paid businessman. Uriel doesn't want him to get too close to Lina.

At this moment Lina said, "I've already made as many as forty jars of wine. Nor will our family be able to spend it all. It doesn't matter if you sold a lot of wine jars to Nano."

But Wiro said discontentedly, "Those sweet fruits are your own. We want to sell ten jars that's good for Nano!" 

Saga said in a condescending tone, "If it were me, I wouldn't sell him a single jar." 

The fruit wine made by this little female, was only theirs! Outsiders were not worthy to touch her, let alone taste her!

Looking at Wiro and Saga, Uriel also said, "Then, what are you waiting for? Let's drink the wine immediately." 

"Come on." Wiro.

Saga only nodded her head, as a sign that she also agreed.

Seeing what the three partners had decided, Lina could only sigh, "Hhhh.. It's up to you." 

...........

Early the next day, Nano began his journey to return to the City of the Sun, along with ten of his men. They all carried many leather bags of various sizes, which were filled with fruits and vegetables, as well as bamboo baskets and ten wine jars.

On the fourth day after Nano left, snow began to fall heavily.

The winter has finally come.

"I don't know if it's just my feeling. But I feel like this winter is not as cold as last year. Even the snow piles outside, were also not as thick as last year, and some dead branches and leaves could still be seen." Lina.

Last year, there was not the slightest gap to be able to see the withered branches and leaves, which were covered by thick snow.

But in the winter of this year, some tree branches and leaves can still be seen.

Wiro said confidently, "Winter this year is normal. Only last year's winter was much colder, besides, its duration was also very long. That is what has left many animals and Orcs killed in the forest. If last year you weren't lucky enough and weren't in Stone Mountain, I'm afraid you'd definitely be frozen to ice."

As Lina looked at Wiro's extremely confident performance, she couldn't help herself anymore to immediately touch Wiro's head.

"His short silver hair felt stiff, but smooth to the touch." Inner Lina.

After that Lina said with a sweet smile, "Last year, you saved me and Uriel. How should I repay your kindness? How about tonight ..." At her last hanging word, Lina deliberately looked at Wiro while blinking her one eye at Wiro.

As soon as Wiro saw the blink of Lina's eyes, Wiro's eyes immediately looked sparkling, his ears looked red and looked at Lina with the look of his expectant eyes. 

"Tonight we'll all eat roasted meat until we're full.." Lina said as she passed away heading towards the kitchen.

Whoa, "....."

"What's? The reward is just eating roast meat? Shouldn't you sleep with me?" Asked Wiro while whining.
