Chapter 20: Hinoki Town
Xiao You and his party looked at the surrounding farmland on the road to Hinoki Town, Xiao You said with some concern, "It hasn't rained for several days, and the crops in the fields are going to die, and it's so hot."
"Hold on for a while, there is Hinoki Town in front" As a member of the Lingling Tower, Shi is very familiar with the city, so Xiaoyou and they have not been lost.
"Okay, let's go", finally about to arrive at Hinoki Town, and Xiao You, who was already in a hurry, was also a little energetic.
Arriving at the entrance of Hinoki Town, Xiao Yu found a sign that read, "It says that water supply restrictions have been imposed due to drought." Xiao You glanced at the scorching sun again, shook his head, and said to Lily and Shiki, "It seems that the gym may also be closed, so let's go find Mr. Steel first, anyway, I picked a lot of tree fruits on the way." β
Shi nodded, and Lily looked inexplicable, "Xiaoyou, are those unpalatable tree fruits for the person named Mr. Steel?" As for why Lily has the comment that it is unpalatable, it is because when Xiao You picked this tree fruit for the first time in Silver Mountain, Lily, a foodie, thought that she could eat it, but she tasted it and then spit it out on the spot, so Lily had a psychological shadow on this tree fruit, so Xiao You did not explain the role of the tree fruit.
At this time, Shi answered Lily's question, "Lily doesn't know?" Mr. Steel makes some special PokΓ©balls, and the ingredients are these tree fruits. β
"So this fruit is used to make balls?" Lily covered her mouth, as if she remembered something bad, "Xiaoyou, why didn't you sue me at that time." β
"At that time, your hands were so fast, I just finished shouting don't eat you, and you have already bitten a big piece." Then he spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and said, "Blame me?" β
"Blame you! Blame you! It's your fault! Lily pounced on Xiao You, and her pink fist kept smashing this Xiao You.
Xiao You was obviously shocked that Lily suddenly coquetted him, but he still caught Lily who pounced on her, and let her fist smash into her chest, well, Lily smashed it very lightly.
The formula on one side covered his face helplessly, "Two of you, don't put flashbangs." Then he complained silently in his heart, knowing that he didn't want to teach Lily how to be coquettish, and the lethality was slightly greater.
"Ahem." The two parted slightly awkwardly.
The three of them walked down the street, Lily looked east and west, and then pulled her sleeve and asked, "Sister Shi, what's going on here, why are there dumb beasts everywhere, and even the signs are 'Pay attention to the dumb beasts'." β
"This is because there is a legend in Hinoki Town, about 400 years ago, there was also a great drought here, and then a dumb beast yawned, unfortunately, the sky suddenly rained heavily and solved the problem of the drought, so the people of Hinoki Town thought that it was the rain brought by the yawn of the silly beast, so they called the dumb beast the god of dumb beasts." formula began to explain.
"That's right." Lily nodded, then continued to ask, "However, it is said that the tail of the Silly Beast is good......" Before Lily could finish speaking, Shikiwa and Xiaoyu covered her mouth at the same time and made a silent gesture at her.
Then Shiki and Xiaoyu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, before they let go of Lily's mouth.
"Lily, how can you talk about Dumb Beast's tail here?" Xiao Yu whispered to Lily.
Lily wasn't stupid either, and had apparently reacted so much when Shiki and Xiao Yu heard him say that the tail of the dumb beast was so big.
"I remembered it because I saw the dumb beast, it is said to be delicious, Xiaoyou, you are the rich second generation, you must have eaten it, right?"
"Hey, hey, who taught you this contemptuous title of the rich second generation." Xiao You raised his eyebrows, and then looked at himself whistling at the sky, he seemed to understand who taught Lily Fu the second generation to say this.
"I haven't eaten it." Xiao You scratched his head and said, "Although this dish is available when the family goes to a five-star restaurant to eat, and the price is not expensive, but my family is all elf lovers, how can they order this dish." β
"Five-star hotel...... Cut, local tyrant. Shi and Lily said at the same time.
"Hey, hey, Sister Shi, forget about Lily, she was lonely when she was young, and her life was more embarrassing, but what about you, your family is also a big family, right?"
"But the heir is Brother Zhi, and even if you don't be your housekeeper, Zai Xia will be married somewhere else, so the property of the Liangyi family has nothing to do with Zaixia." Shi said with a smile.
"Okay." Xiao You could only cover her face helplessly.
Grabbed a passer-by and praised the stupid beast brought by the passer-by, and the passer-by happily pointed out the way to Xiaoyou.
When he came to Mr. Steel's house, Xiao You knocked on the door and found that it was a little girl who opened the door.
"Little sister, is Mr. Steel at home?"
"Yes." The little girl nodded, then asked, "Are you here to make balls for my grandfather?" He said with a look of hope.
"Yes." Xiaoyou knows why this little girl has a hopeful vision, because with the progress of science and technology, baby balls can be mass-produced, completely replacing the status of hand-made balls, compared to collecting fruits, and then finding someone to make balls, and then waiting for a few days to get the balls, consumers are naturally more willing to go to the league store to buy convenient and practical balls.
But fortunately, due to the particularity of some balls, the best effect can only be achieved by making zuΓ² with fruits, so this craft has not been lost, which is also a blessing in misfortune.
Although it has not been lost, the market will definitely not be very good, and I will know when I see the little girl looking at Xiao You and his group.
However, in Xiaoyou's opinion, there is no need to worry about this kind of ball having no market, because as far as he knows, many people are still using this kind of ball made of fruit zuΓ², as for why Mr. Steel's granddaughter is so happy to see the guests, it may be because the people who find Mr. Steel's customized balls are acquaintances, so except for when picking up the goods, there is usually nothing to come, so Mr. Steel's granddaughter may think that there is no business.
Entering the back room, Xiao You saw that Mr. Steel was really busy.
Seeing that there were guests, Mr. Steel put down the work in his hand and greeted Xiao You and his party, "Oh, it's a guest, hello." β
"Hello, Mr. Steel." Xiao You and his party also nodded like Mr. Steel. Immediately afterwards, Xiao You took out a lot of tree fruits from his space bag. Because before coming to the city, Xiao You first went to Silver Mountain, which is different from the tree fruits in the wild, more or less some people still pick them, but the tree fruits of Silver Mountain are different, because the elves of Silver Mountain are strong, and ordinary people will not go to Silver Mountain to pick tree fruits, so Xiao You picked a lot of tree fruits in Silver Mountain.
"What balls do the guests need?" When do you want it to be delivered? Seeing the amount of Xiaoyou's tree fruit, Mr. Steel was stunned for a moment, and then began to ask Xiaoyou.
"Well, the overweight and velocity balls will be given priority, and then Mr. Steel can deliver them before the Silver Conference begins." The super weight ball is for himself, because most of the ground elves are larger, while the speed balls are for Lily, and the flying elves are generally faster.
"Okay."
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Steel and Xiao You counted the tree fruits, and Mr. Steel gave an estimate, Xiao You was paying according to Mr. Steel's value, because people in this world are relatively simple, so they don't have to worry about cutting corners at all, so Xiao You paid very happily.
After going to Mr. Steel's house, Xiao You and his party came to the Elf Center, and he had forgotten about the plot of Hinoki Town, and it seemed that things would turn around when Ash came.
