Chapter 24: Stability
"You're up, Mr. Xiao Ya!" The first greeting when he woke up, accompanied by a gentle and sweet female voice, floated into the ears of Xiao Ya, who looked comfortable.
"Well, it's up," the greeted smiled and nodded to the other person, stretching his waist as he walked out of the room. Being able to sleep peacefully, especially after a period of upheaval and chaos, he never thought that even lying in bed with his eyes closed would be so precious, and of course, there was no such factor in Lucina's delicate face, smooth skin, and perfect body......
And Xiao Ya, who had to sleep randomly before, was able to sleep peacefully, of course, because of the negotiation with Louis, to be exact, the friendly agreement reached with the Nabo Chamber of Commerce to which he belonged, in fact, after understanding all the bottom lines on the other side, the negotiation became a very easy thing, because there was no need to repeatedly try, calculate, and waste time.
Therefore, Xiao Ya "accepted" the "apology" of the Nabo Chamber of Commerce, and would no longer act "hostile" to the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce ensured that his life on Hannabar was stable, and no people on the island would come to disturb him, so he obtained the guarantee of a normal, no, privileged life in Hannabar, after all, in an environment where there are no normal law enforcement agencies and the law of the jungle is admired, being able to follow the rules of relatively equal communication is already an unattainable treatment for ordinary people.
Of course, all this is just a verbal agreement, in fact, even if it is a written agreement, it is meaningless, because there are too many loopholes to exploit in it, for example, "the Chamber of Commerce will ensure the stability of Xiao Ya's life on Hannabar", which means that as long as you leave Hannabar, it will be invalid; And "no people from the island to disturb" means that "people from outside the island" are not within the scope of the agreement...... Oh, and although Xiao Ya is new here, she also knows that on an island like Hannabal, which is highly populated, almost half of the population meets this standard, and maybe more.
Therefore, this is just a simple agreement built on ensuring that the two sides do not conflict with each other, and it is non-binding, but even if you know the loopholes inside, because when the head of the Chamber of Commerce discussed these contents, Xiao Ya also "attended" it, and there is no need to say it, anyway, in the final analysis, although the other party has no sincerity, he also has the mentality of coping, anyway, it is still necessary to exchange these conditions for an adjustment period, as for what to adjust, it is naturally clothing, food, housing, transportation, food, clothing and enjoyment, all-round adjustment!
After going through all the previous experiences, it is not easy to live a plain and stable life that Xiao Ya was accustomed to, instead of the days when I was nervous and rumored every day, oh, there is also a little difference, that is, there are more, and after removing some of the previous daily expenses, there are still more than 100 million Baileys left. Oh, and it looks like a small goal has been achieved? In this case, we can also live the life of a rich man!
It's pitiful, Xiao Ya hasn't had a peaceful life since she came to this world, and it goes without saying it when she was on the "Proverbs", it's good that she didn't starve to death when she was dizzy; finally found an island, but the result was that the Magic Valley Town, which was devastated by destruction, did not eat, drink and have fun, but added 3 imps to take care of; Finally took a boat to Hannabar, there was no shortage of everything, but he caught up with the thieves' den, experienced the power of the people's war, and was worried about the thieves every day, annoyed, naturally he couldn't eat well, drink badly, and even sleep badly......
Fortunately, all this is over, although Xiao Ya knows that the agreement with the Nabo Chamber of Commerce does not ensure absolute security, but at least if there is no strong enough force or interest to intervene, the other party will definitely do its best to maintain it, after all, this cost is the lowest, otherwise, who knows how much loss he can cause by initiating Biaolai, in comparison, it is too attractive to make this guy's money with peace of mind, so.
"Wow, this barbecue is so delicious! It's delicious! ”
"yes, yes, there's a lot of spices in there!"
"Well, it's okay......" comes from someone who is exposed to spices with a special smell for the first time, at least less receptive than cumin, chili noodles.
"This ramen is amazing!"
"Well, the soup is so fragrant, and there are a lot of barbecued pork, huh? Sir, how are you shedding tears! ”
"......" someone who didn't know about this world's mustard seasoning burst into tears.
"Amazing, is this a fine dining restaurant?"
"Former ...... on the island"
"Look, there's still people playing music!"
"Well, this high-end restaurant looks like a Western restaurant again," muttered someone who had decided to "corrupt" it because he had a huge amount of money, "and sure enough, steaks, bread, wine, salads, noodles, ......"
A few days later, Xiao Ya finally took the 3 little guys to go around Hannabal, as for the content of the activity, the essence of his foodie has been fully exposed from the previous conversation, and he was surprised to find that the dining style of this world is obviously Westernized, especially those high-end restaurants, which are basically Western restaurants, in contrast, many snacks are very distinctive, and they are more attractive to a certain foodie, but after all, the overall taste is quite different from what he is used to, which makes him very unoptimistic about his expectations for future food standards.
Of course, Xiao Ya also wants to eat all day long, but there is no way, with children, of course, you can't go to some places that you like to see, then in addition to the natural scenery, it is nothing more than the landscape, although it is very high, but Hannabar has only one mountain in total, which corresponds to the poem "Only because of being in this mountain", there is no high and low perspective, except for the surrounding trees, I can't see anything else......
And the water, well, the island is surrounded by seawater, even if Xiao Ya used to be uncommon, after arriving in this world, there is not a day that it cannot be seen, and the other 3 little guys are even more commonplace, for the matter of going to the beach to play, no one even mentions it, they are discussing where to eat......
Relatively speaking, it was Hannabal's characteristic moving boat that attracted their interest more, when they first approached the island, they saw a lot of large and small shipwrecks in the building, and later learned that it was left over during the island's organization of the Death Sea Race, which actually had to wash the boat down from the waterfall on the top of the mountain, and if it was uncontrollable or unlucky, it was easy to deviate from the river, so it was scattered everywhere, but it also added a way for the island's residents to make money.
But it's a pity that a comfortable life is always rare, and soon, Xiao Ya found a problem, that is, Bailey's consumption rate is far faster than he expected, it's not that someone cheats him, but it seems that he overestimated the gold content of 100 million Bailey.
Oh, but think about it carefully, as mentioned earlier, the head fee charged by the evil dragon is 100,000 Baileys per month for adults and 50,000 Baileys per month for children, and then collected for 8 consecutive years, and judging from the reaction of the local people, it is about the limit of tolerance, or the maximum disposable income after removing daily expenses, so taking into account the average distribution rate of the population, the per capita monthly income of the labor force in the 20 villages near Windmill Town should reach the level of about 20-300,000 Baileys, otherwise it is difficult to support, so, 100 million Baileys is the average monthly income of 300-500 local people.
From this point of view, the 100 million Bailey and Xiao Ya's habitual purchasing power unit are converted, although it will not be so miserable as directly losing 4 zeros, but the most conservative will also lose 2, and then make a few discounts, well, barely a small windfall, but if you want to rely on it to make a living, it is still a bit thin, not to mention "poor and extravagant" like him, it is a high-end restaurant!

I'm going on a business trip again, so I'm afraid I'll have to break it again....
