Verse 289: Suspicion is the way to survive II.
Walking into the nail salon, Han Jinxian handed over his task list to the old woman: "Old lady, I have completed the task." β
"Well done, young man, what you have done, Mrs. Ella and her husband have seen it. The old woman smiled and nodded: "Young man, are you ready to accept a new task, or are you going to rest for a while." β
"Let me rest for a while, I'm going to see my son, the little one has been clamoring to see me lately. For the old man, Han Jinxian has always been respectful, he replied with a smile, thought about it for a while, and finally asked: "Old lady, what did that kitten do when he came in just now." β
"Nail art, what did he say to surprise his friends of the same age, so he wanted to make a thumb inscription, so I repaired a cat footprint for him, and you seem to have encountered it when you went out, see. β
"Yes, ma'am, a beautiful inscription, you are really a sword. Regardless of race or gender, Han Jinxian finished filming, smiled and leaned over and saluted: "Madam, Rong Jinxian will go first." β
"Go, young man, don't keep your child too long, that's not what a good father should do. β
ββ¦β¦ That's what you're saying. There was silence for a while, and finally Han Jinxian smiled at the old lady and saluted again, and then turned to leave.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Marceau stood at the fruit stand for a while, and as an employee of the stall, the halfling approached: "Do you want to buy something, kitten?" β
"Six pounds of Merando honey fruits, I want to give my friend a little surprise. "Melando honey fruit is the favorite fruit of the steppe elves, a big and sweet, the Heschel people love and hate this sweet and sugary fruit, what they love is that they are non-sugar tolerant in reality, blood sugar above 10 is already a fatal value for the Hescher people, but the blood sugar 10 of the Tershan people is still at a low level. The elves played by the Heschers are also very fond of this fruit, as they can credit any high-sugar food in the game world, but when they get used to it, the Heschels will be painful to find that these things that can be eaten at will in the game are no different from poison in the real world.
The halfling man quickly bagged the Melando honey fruit and weighed it, exactly five pounds: "Five gold coins." This fruit is everywhere in the wild of the north. It belongs to the kind of magic plant that bears fruit twice a year, and because of the high sugar content and easy preservation, even if the market demand is relatively large, the price is not all the way to the point that it is unacceptable.
The halfling's hand made Marceau a little puzzled, to be able to hold the goods so accurately, this middle-aged halfling NPC seemed to be really an old clerk, so he paid the money, and the cat cub put the fruit in the space satchel and was about to leave. The clerk's sudden words made the kitten frown.
"Are you...... Marceau?" "...... Yes, I'm Marceau, what's the matter. β
Marceau looked at the halfling, who did not pick up the topic, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Marceau: "You are Marceau, Marceau Sue, Your Excellency Sophie should be your mother...... The letter came from a big man named Riberius, who gave me a bag of gold coins. Said I was waiting here for a black-haired kitten with a white tail and his name was Marceau. β
Riberius ...... Oh, my God. If it weren't for the name, Marceau would have forgotten that she still had this sinkhole in her taskbar.
Taking the letter, Marceau gave the halfling a strange look: "You are ......" "I am a field agent of Gray Eagle, and my boss told me about you, and he said that you are a friend of Gray Eagle...... When I was at Greyhawk's Academy, Riberius was my classmate. The halfling scratched his chin. He looked at Marceau with some embarrassment: "Do you want to know from me why a Greyhawk apprentice would become a guerrilla knight, become a traitor and work on a pirate ship, and eventually become a half-undead...... Right. β
ββ¦β¦ That's right, there are some things, don't ask Liberius. It doesn't really work out if you don't think about it. Marceau nodded: "Anyway, thank you, your name ......" "Do our business, does the name really matter?" After speaking, the halfling man smiled and sighed: "The big man who almost bumped into you at the door of the nail salon came out, unlike you, this guy has been very arrogant lately, and he almost wrote 'I am a substitute' on his face." β
"Thanks, you know how to talk to him, right. Marceau said in a low voice.
"I know, I also know that if I offend you, the big celebrity in the eyes of Mrs. Ella, I will definitely be directly picked up and cramped by the old lady in the nail salon. β
With this explanation, Marceau smiled and nodded: "Then, goodbye, I'll read the letter when I go back to the hotel...... By the way, is Riberius still sane? β
"If I were you, I wouldn't see him on the fifteenth of every month, and he would talk to people at other times. At this, the halfling glanced behind the kitten, and then shouted to the kitten, "Thank you for coming, Mr. Cat, do you want anything else?" β
"No, these Merando Honey Fruits of yours are good, and I think my friends will be very happy. With that, Marceau gave the halfling a knowing look.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Seeing Marceau leave, Han Jinxian frowned, he walked to the fruit stall and looked at it for a while, and finally decided to buy some pineapples for his wife and son, this fruit has always been his son's favorite fruit, and in this regard, the child follows his mother's preference.
The halfling man bagged and weighed with skillful movements: "Three pounds in total, six gold coins." β
Han Jinxian paid with one hand and asked with one mouth: "By the way, what was that kitten buying just now?" β
"Merando honey fruit should be a small gift for his friends, the steppe elves and some elven strangers love this fruit. After taking the gold coin and sending the goods out, the halfling looked at Han Jinxian: "Your Excellency, is that your target?" β
"No...... Just friends. Han Jinxian finished with an expressionless face, turned around and walked to the other side of the street.
From the first contact, it was not felt at all that there was anything special about this kitten, except for the reflexes...... But the most important thing that Tieflin kitten people lack is reflexes, which can't be regarded as one thing at all, and this year, only kittens can't control themselves and collide with you is news.
I don't know what new progress has been made on the side of the black guy and the bald head, so let's go and ask after dinner. Thinking of this, Han Jinxian sped up his pace - after giving these pears to his wife and children, he still had to go offline to cook for his wife and children in the real world.
Since the emergence of a Bai Prince, there is one more cooking skill in the latest survival skills directory of Cylis Man, the stomach is a common weakness of everyone, are you really willing to let your weakness be mastered by others, rather than trying to master other people's weaknesses?
Han Jinxian felt that this sentence was good, since he had mastered his wife's weakness, the cat girl had always responded to her needs.
That's right...... Tonight, whether to make sweet and sour tenderloin, or fish-flavored shredded pork, or some Celestial relics-style roast lamb.
The homely man Han Jinxian thought so.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After tidying up the things on the table and putting the text and the volume back in the cabinet, the old lady stood up and walked out of the store, locked the door, and the old lady who was about to go home for dinner came to the stall and looked at the halfling who was a little scared: "Bring me a pound of Melando honey fruit, young man." β
Weighing it in a bag, and receiving a gold coin from the old lady, the halfling asked in embarrassment, "Is there anything else, madam?" β
"Nothing, just wanted to say you're doing the right thing. The old lady took out a fruit and put it in her mouth.
ββ¦β¦ Ah, on this point, I don't think I have the courage and the ability to turn against several His Highnesses at the same time, and besides, this is the boy of that one, a fellow like me who could sail back to Palo Ernst at any moment...... You have to ask for peace of mind, right? β
"That's right, young man, there's nothing wrong with what you're talking about. With that, the old lady turned and left, leaving the halfling with a laugh and a wordβ"Lady Ella and her husband saw what the mortals did, the kittens and the big men like that...... So do you. (To be continued......)
