Chapter 23 Career Savings Plan
As soon as the news spread that Kanu was going to McGee, the small village of Mado became much busier. There were more people from outside the village than usual. Nowhere is this more evident than in Kanu's bars. The usual vacant seats are no longer available, and many people can only choose to stand at the bar and ask for a drink and chat. Naturally, they are discussing a wide variety of topics. The main topic is still focused on the trade of various goods and the monsters that have recently appeared.
The main reason is that the people of the village and a considerable number of outsiders have to bring things to the tokanu and exchange them for the supplies they need. But the capacity of the car is limited. Naturally, there will be a lot of things that are not good or worthless and do not have a chance to get on the bus. So naturally, there will be a lot of speculative people who come here and plan to save a lot of money. And the seller is not at all resistant to the existence of these unfinished people. After all, there aren't many things here that produce money. β
"This is a MOT1 engine that I just removed from the shredder, and it weighs 8 tons. Looks the same as new. A large man pointed to a rather heavy metal part on the floor next to the counter.
"Things look okay." Kanu glanced at it and replied, "The problem is that I take it to the parts store to toss far more than the little money I saved" Kanu usually collects 5% of the goods, so he must consider that there is a certain profit on the things transported.
"You can smoke more." The big man is still not dead.
"You don't want to say whether this engine can be used directly. Its model is too old. The load capacity is not as large as my truck. Basically, it's higher than the price of scrap iron. "After all, Kanu has been doing this all year round, and her eyes are vicious.
"You're like that, put things here. It's okay to sit down. I guess someone will ask for the price. "Kanu's popularity here is inseparable from his kindness." It's better to be able to shoot right here. After all, this is a good thing for many people who build their own cars. β
Dahan nodded gratefully, and Kanu lifted the engine and placed it on the shelf behind him. There's already a mess on it. It seems to be the same thing as this engine.
Countless similar transactions are being staged here. The people in the small bar were in stark contrast to Wu Yun, who was lying alone on the bed on the second floor a few hundred meters away.
This is the third day of lying down, and Wu Yun estimates that he can barely move. He still remembers the surprised expressions of the people in the village when they saw that he was carried back by the fat man. And after Xiao Lei's explanation, everyone looked at themselves with an expression of holding back a smile and holding back internal injuries. Even the ever-calm village chief of Solu was not spared.
It seems that this matter can be added to himself again. Wu Yun thought depressedly. His depressed thing is not only this, the little thunder fat man lifted himself up and threw himself on the bed and disappeared. Kasan also came up on the first day to ask about her condition, and she never came back again. It looks like everyone is busy. He estimated that nine times out of ten it was the reason why Kanu went to McGee.
In the past few days in bed, in addition to playing with slingshots and practicing arm strength, he is an idler. Until he accidentally saw the fat man's backpack in the corner. He realized that he finally had something to do.
He went down to the ground with great difficulty, carefully opened the bag, and sure enough, it was the wild fruits that he had picked before, which he thought were not very tasty.
Anyway, if you have nothing to do, let's pick again. Thinking of this, Wu Yun took a cushion and sat on the ground. Preparing for the second screening, it was inconvenient for him to go downstairs, so the fat man put the bucket directly beside his bed, and this time things were much easier.
He opened the bag and found that some of the underneath had begun to turn sour. He raised his hand and turned his backpack upside down. The pile of fruits at the bottom of the bag was obviously rotten a lot, Wu Yun had to take them out and put them aside, one of them was a yellow jelly-like thing that caught his attention, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the small yellow fruit he picked up for the first time, the one with lychee flesh but no taste. It turned out that I don't know who picked a bunch of them and threw them inside. In the end, it was pressed like this.
Wu Yun picked up the small piece. I looked at it through the sunlight and it felt very gelatinous. It's not very tasty, but it's not useless. This may make the otherwise relatively thin sauce more viscous and thus more jamy. Thinking of this, he carefully put away the small pieces.
He then began to put the different fruits into his mouth one by one and chewed them carefully. The difference between this time and the previous wild is that he now has enough time to slowly savor the true taste of each fruit; And he rinsed his mouth carefully for each change so as not to affect the taste of the other fruits. Under this delicate and efficient work, he made a good discovery, it was a white egg-sized fruit, which at first had no special sensation in the mouth, but gradually its aftertaste made him frown like the green oranges on the market. He quickly threw up.
Sure enough, it's something you can't eat, but if you use it as a sauce, you should be able to use it as a sauce. Wu Yun nodded, noting down the fruit of this taste that made him remember it deeply.
Now that he has chosen, Wu Yun is very eager to try. Melon is not worried, the three of Kasan have picked a bunch and thrown it downstairs in the past two days. After all, the bounty was still there, if it weren't for Wu Yun's "accidental injury". Several people had already urged him to do it. The problem of sugar is said to have been solved by Kanu as well. He also specifically mentioned that the cost of sugar can be directly offset by the finished breadfruit.
Wu Yun originally wanted to go down by himself, but he visually measured the height of the second floor and decided to give up this act of death. Just when he was at a loss. There was a commotion downstairs. It sounds like Kasan and Soru are arguing about something. After all, it was far away on the second floor, and Wu Yun couldn't hear what he was talking about with all his might. Just as he wanted to call attention to him, two figures, one thin and one fat, rushed up from the iron ladder.
"Wu Yun, you're awake!" The fat man shouted in surprise. Immediately, he was kicked from behind by Xiao Lei. Even though it was light, he turned his head and glared at the culprit who kicked him.
"Be quiet." Xiao Lei made a shushing gesture, "You want to hear it from below?" β
The fat man nodded again and again with a look of sudden realization, obviously forgetting all about the kicking he had been given.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the appearance of the two, Wu Yun couldn't help but lower his voice.
"It's not because of the barrel monster we caught last time." Little Ray was a little frustrated.
"What's wrong? Did you run away? Wu Yun's first reaction was the same as what happened to the little boar before.
"Not really." The fat man was a little proud, "Not only did there be no problems, but it was also sold for a good price~ a full 150 gold." β
Wu Yun, who has seen the prices here, naturally knows that this is not a small amount.
"And what's going on downstairs?" He asked, puzzled.
Before the two of them could answer, a beautiful figure flashed out at the top of the stairs.
"What are you two doing running so fast? Looking for death!? Kasan asked angrily. She saw Wu Yun sitting upright at the head of the bed, looking at her in surprise. I couldn't help but blush.
"Wu Yun, you're awake~" Kasan smiled slightly, ignoring the frightened quail-like two and walked straight to the head of the bed. "We've been busy these days, and we may not be able to take care of you." As she spoke, she sat down and touched Wu Yun's forehead with her hand. It was as if it had become a habit for her.
"You just raise it for a few days, and don't have any accidents." Wu Yungang wanted to say something. As soon as I saw her serious expression, I swallowed the words.
"Hurry up, you two, or it'll be late." Kasan stood up and spoke to the two of them in a commanding tone. Then he walked quickly towards the iron ladder entrance.
Seeing that she was about to go downstairs, Wu Yun looked at the two of them with crying and mournful faces, and couldn't help but be very curious. Hurriedly stopped: "Let them stay for a while, I have something to talk to them about." β
"Remember to be fast~" Kashan turned her head and glanced at the three of them. He jumped downstairs.
"What the hell is going on? Tell me about it. "Ignore this arrogant way of going downstairs. Wu Yun asked about the two.
"It's just because she caught the oil barrel monster, and Kashan thinks it's a good pay. So she was going to go hunting through the jungle again. "Little Ray performed his long tongue stunt. I continued to speak in one breath. "Chief Kosoru thinks there is an unknown and powerful monster there. It was dangerous to go, so I stopped her. As a result, there was a quarrel. β
"What does that have to do with you, look at you two as thieves." Wu Yun asked.
"Kassan's temper can't be stopped once she decides. She insisted on going, and we couldn't help but go with her. Xiao Lei looked sad with a crying face, "The problem is that the village chief of Solu spoke again, saying that if we want to go with us, we will give us two a good look... β
"Actually, it's not all Kasan's fault." After not speaking for a long time, the fat man suddenly interjected. "After all, this year's income is obviously not as good as in previous years, if you don't work hard, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive this winter..."
"Why is this year so bad?" Wu Yun was a little curious.
The two looked at each other... They all shut their mouths, and even Xiao Lei, who has always talked a lot, looked like he wanted to say something.
"Hurry up, fatty." Wu Yun adheres to the principle of striking the east and attacking the west. "Xiao Lei is timid, what are you afraid of?"
"Who's cowardly." Xiao Lei was really fooled, "It's not because of you... "He suddenly discovered something. Hurriedly stopped his mouth.
"Sure enough." When he saw the attitude of the two, Wu Yun had a premonition. The means of subsistence here are not abundant, and you have to worry about using sugar. I don't know how long I have lived here, and it must have been a huge burden for the family.
"You're stupid. Kasan told us not to talk about it. See what she does. "It's rare for the fat man to catch Xiao Lei by making a mistake, but he doesn't see joy at all.
"I don't see that you're so cunning... Xiao Lei looked at Wu Yun hatefully.
"I don't have time to talk about that right now." Wu Yun thought back to his plan and the reactions of the people here. I feel that the success rate is very high. He couldn't help but smile slightly.
"How much does it cost her and Soru to spend a winter like Kasan?" Wu Yun asked the two. "I said it's better."
"The bulk of the winter consumption is heating oil." Xiao Lei counted with his fingers that a small tent there would use up at least 300g in winter. And that's not counting the food. Fat people are about the same. β
"We had a problem the year before, and then thanks to Kashan and the village chief, we were taken in for a winter." Xiao Lei and the fat man said with a little emotion. "This big building. Consider that the heating cost should be at least 800g. What to bring with you is estimated to be more than 1,000. β
"Oh" Although Wu Yun still had a question, it was enough to know this now.
"In other words, I will save 1000g first." Wu Yun thought about it for a while, there were too many things that he didn't know very well, so it was better to set a low goal first and develop obscenely.
"What are you talking about? How can 1000g be so easy to save? Xiao Lei was extremely puzzled, "You were naked when you came, I know better than anyone else." Don't talk about money, you don't even have a pair of pants. β
Wu Yun pressed down the strong desire to slap him. After all, they are indispensable in the next action.
"I should be able to do it." Wu Yun paused, he looked at the two of them, Xiao Lei was skeptical with a disbelieving expression, while the fat man was listening attentively to his every word.
"You've forgotten something important." Wu Yun bought a pass. He suddenly felt that he was enjoying the feeling of bathing in the eager gaze of the two.
"That's my professionββββ chef."
