Chapter 5 Merchants
Speaking of which, Liu Jieming is one of the few people who belong to the "foreign population" like Xia Lin.
It's just that unlike Charlene, who is a newcomer and directly stays with an aristocratic identity, Liu Jieming has come here as early as ten years ago.
And Liu Jieming only came here to "live temporarily" in order to find more ingredients, but after conquering the residents here with his cooking skills and being "conquered" by the environment here, he chose to stay.
Therefore, Liu Jieming's status in the hearts of the people here is still very delicate. Especially when you know that the other party's ability is the same as the vast majority of "locals" in Castle Peak City, which is fire-based. Although, his ability isn't very aggressive.
It is precisely in this way that Liu Jieming's small restaurant can be opened safely in Qingshan City for ten years, and even recruited two local teenagers to be his apprentices.
Although, in Charlene's eyes, these two teenagers are obviously more like shopkeepers who work part-time...... Cheap labor.
It can be said that Liu Jieming is now an "authentic" resident of Qingshan City. No one cares anymore about where he came from, who he was, or even if he had any secrets.
This is what Charlene expected, but it is clear that Liu Jieming is one step ahead of Charlene in this regard. In less than ten years, she completely integrated herself into the hearts of everyone in this small town, which is actually quite xenophobic, and Charlene thought she didn't have that ability.
This point, just looking at the fact that she has been here for several months, in fact, there are only a few people who are familiar with her, and the other party is still vaguely taboo about her "noble" identity.
After all......
She's a lazy person, too lazy to socialize, and even less sociable.
And a skill like Liu Yishou ......
Xia Lin blinked, looking at Liu Jieming with a look of sincere study.
Raising his hand to support his forehead, Liu Jieming couldn't help but sigh. "Do you know what the consequences of this so-called skill of yours will be if it is passed on?!"
Charlene looked at each other innocently.
Of course she does.
It was precisely because she knew that she would hide these fish in the space without telling anyone, and now she took them out to show him.
After all, she only eats this thing, but she can't handle it.
Otherwise, Liu Jieming, who had an almost clean habit of food, would not have jumped out to stop Charlene's behavior after he couldn't stand Charlene's abuse of round juveniles.
Although, it turned out that Charlene was not wrong in the strict sense.
But......
"Now that you know, you still dare to take this thing out?!" Liu Jieming's expression is rare and strict.
Xia Lin looked at Liu Jieming with an innocent face, "I only showed it to you." ”
So, are you going to snitch?
Liu Jieming made a tiger face, "Whoever sues you and I am absolutely credible?!" ”
Charlene glared at Liu Jieming, "Do you mean you can't be trusted?!" ”
Liu Jieming: ......
Looking at Liu Jieming with a black face, Xia Lin raised the corners of her lips slightly, and smiled slyly, "If you dare to tell the truth, there will be no fresh round juvenile fish and wild vegetables for you in the future~"
Not only will she not provide it to him, but she will also prohibit others from collecting it and providing it to him.
After all, her ability is just a coincidence, and she can "communicate friendly" with those alien plants. It's easy to get the plants to do something.
Although, if it wasn't necessary, Charlene didn't want to damage the aliens who simply trusted her.
I was actually threatened!
Glaring at Charlene, who was smiling heartlessly in front of him, Liu Jieming suddenly felt an indescribable mood.
"I'm sure you wouldn't do that, though, would you?" Seeing Liu Jieming glaring at herself, Xia Lin blinked, and once again looked at Liu Jieming with a look of pure expectation.
The green tendons on Liu Jieming's forehead jumped unconsciously.
It's so fake!
This girl, doesn't anyone sue her, if she changes her face too quickly, she is prone to facial paralysis, bastard!
However, at least this girl is not completely defenseless, isn't it...... Is it?
In desperation, Liu Jieming had to comfort himself like this.
"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't take this thing out lightly." After all, who can guarantee that he will be safe here?
Even he himself did not dare to guarantee it.
"You can bear to let a little girl do this kind of thing with these fish?" Xia Lin glared at Liu Jieming with an accusatory face, and if he dared, she would cry to him.
Liu Jieming: ......
Why did he have a feeling of meeting a nemesis after meeting this girl?!
Peat, he's still single?! This kind of old father is going to make a fuss about his daughter's heartbroken balls!
was helplessly defeated, but Liu Jieming was unwilling to clean up here, so he had to let Xia Lin take the basket of fish back into the storage space.
"Take it back first, and I'll go to your house to help you deal with it at night."
Charlene blinked, revealing a just right defensive expression, "Uncle, it's not good in the dead of night, lonely men and widows!" It's true! ”
Liu Jieming: ......
glared at Charlene angrily, Liu Jieming simply spread his hands, "Otherwise?" Uncle doesn't mind if the girl learns how to deal with it by herself~Oh~~"
Hearing Liu Jieming's deliberately long "oh" word, Charlene puffed out her cheeks. "Why not now?"
After all, it is not the first time that Charlene has brought round juvenile fish to Liu Jieming to deal with. Although the first few times I brought no more than five round juvenile fish, today there are as many as twenty, but it is not enough to go to her house in the middle of the night to help her deal with it, right?
It's just a few round juveniles, as long as you avoid his two apprentices, wouldn't it be good?
It's mysterious, as if he's done a lot of unsightly things.
Charlene pursed her lips and stared at her, looking at Liu Jieming angry and funny.
"You should know that the fish flood is coming......" Liu Jieming was silent for a moment, thought about it, and then said thoughtfully.
Charlene nodded, "Ang, so what?" ”
Before she came here, she had already done a deep understanding of this place, and she had a thorough understanding of the living habits, customs, and even the situation of several small families who had been in the area for a long time.
Therefore, it is natural to have some understanding of the situation of the fish flood and the upcoming rainy season after that. It's just that I was only concerned about transporting coral ferns to my rubble space before, so I forgot about it for a while.
But......
Does the arrival of the fish flood have anything to do with the topic they are discussing now?
"This year's fish flood is expected to start in five days. Because the rainy season is immediately followed by the fish flood, all the fish this year must be transported before the rainy season arrives. ”
Liu Jieming's face was stern, and Xia Lin nodded her little head, but she looked confused. "So what?" What the hell does this have to do with her?!
"Therefore, several big merchants who bought Xunyu have now arrived in Qingshan City, and they live in the Qingshan Hotel next door."
Charlene:......
Qingshan Hotel or something, refers to the building that looks exactly the same as many of the many self-service hotels in Panyu City that I don't know what it is used for (self-service hotels), and looks exactly the same?
In other words, she always thought that the house had been vacant for a long time, after all, even when she first arrived, she lived in the city lord's mansion.
It turns out that this house will still be inhabited?
"And the three meals a day of these merchants during this period of time are solved by us."
In other words, from today onwards, this will be a place with a lot of people and mouths, and Charlene wants to be like before, as long as the two apprentices are off work, this is the safest place, and it is simply impossible.
After all, these merchants are not little sheep, and they are not so simple, especially the round juvenile fish, which is more precious than Xunyu, they have been spying on the news.
It is only because of the scarcity of juveniles and the extreme difficulty of catching them that in the eyes of the people of Castle Peak, juveniles are equivalent to a treasure that is only caught as a precious "offering" during important events or festivals. Therefore, the local people almost unanimously concealed the way of catching round juveniles.
If you want to buy one or two to try it, you can buy it or even catch it, sorry, I can't help it.
Even Charlene found her own way of catching round juveniles. Otherwise, the people in this shop would not have been ignorant of Charlene's "fishing expert" level.
And if the other party knows that Charlene has this kind of fishing method, not to mention whether the local residents will be angry, just saying what these inns will do, it will be a troublesome thing......
And Charlene, obviously not afraid of heaven and earth, is afraid of trouble.
Seeing Charlene pouting and puffing out her cheeks, and finally silently acquiescing in his decision to help her deal with the fish at night, Liu Jieming's face showed a smile again.
And when I saw Liu Jieming, who was smiling again, he asked himself what he wanted for dinner with a gentle face. Charlene couldn't help but pout and muttered quietly, "Thick skin and black belly!" ”
"Huh?" Liu Jieming glared at Xia Lin with a dangerous expression.
Xia Lin raised an innocent face and looked back at Xu Shuoyang with a pure and innocent smile.
She is a smart child and will never offend her meal ticket.
Although, it is a paid meal ticket.
Xu Shuoyang didn't really plan to really do anything with Xia Lin, so he just glared at Xia Lin angrily and funny. "What, you're not going to eat dinner?"
"How is that possible!" Charlene immediately said loudly.
If it weren't for this dinner, what would she do if she went to the forest to dig wild vegetables every day? Can't exercise?!
After all, she has greens in her own space, with a complete variety and a large quantity, and she can make it herself if she wants to eat it.
As for the discovery of new varieties of wild vegetables......
And there is no reward, how positive is she? It's just that I happened to meet it, and I had a strong intuition that she was edible, so I brought it back.
Of course, as for this, there is no need for anyone to know. Sometimes, beautiful misunderstandings are necessary, aren't they? RS
