Chapter 9: The Profiteers of the Other World
"Dad, this man wants to settle in our village." Ula walked up to the middle-aged man, took his hand, and said to the village chief with a smile.
Ulla turned out to be the daughter of the village chief? This is something Jiang Feng never imagined.
At this time, the middle-aged man moved his gaze to Jiang Feng's body, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Aren't you from the mercenary group yesterday?" Why do you want to settle in our Gemu Village? ”
Jiang Feng said what he had just said to Ula to the village chief again, and after listening to it, the village chief thought about it and said, "Okay, you will be a member of Gemu Village from today onwards, Ulla, you take him to get a vacant room." ”
"Well, yes, father." Ula said to Jiang Feng again, "Follow me." After saying that, he was the first to leave the village chief's room.
On the way, Jiang Feng smiled and said to Ulla: "I didn't expect you to be the daughter of the village chief, hehe." ”
"What's there?" Ulla said indifferently.
Jiang Feng smiled, thinking that it was so easy to become a member of the village, so he asked Ulla: "How can you join the village so easily, I thought it would be difficult." ”
"Oh, our village is very welcoming to the villagers. But tribes are not good, they are basically one ethnic group, so they are very xenophobic. Ulla explained it casually.
"Then why did your father hesitate just now?" Jiang Feng asked another question.
Ula stopped, looked at Jiang Feng, and then laughed.
"Because your strength is very poor, even if anyone can join the village, but the stronger you are, the better."
Jiang Feng blushed again, it was still the fault of his strength, his spiritual power was different from the cultivation system of this world, so the people of this world could not know their strength, so they always thought that Jiang Feng was an ordinary person without any strength. However, none of them knew that Jiang Feng now had the strength of an intermediate apprentice swordsman.
But Jiang Feng wished that they didn't know their strength, so he wouldn't tell them.
Jiang Feng kept talking and laughing with Ula on the road, and after a while, he came to the room that belonged to Jiang Feng in the future.
When I went in, it was about 20 square meters. A bed with futon on the bed. A table, and a small fire in the corner of the room, and several earthenware jars beside the fire.
The shabby furnishings in this room made Jiang Feng a little dumbfounded.
At this time, Ulla said to Jiang Feng: "I have already brought you here, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”
After speaking, he left directly without waiting for Jiang Feng to reply, Jiang Feng looked at the simple house in front of him, and then looked at the place where Ula disappeared, and smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he would live in such a place in the future.
After cleaning casually, Jiang Feng left the house, and the room was empty, so Jiang Feng decided to go out to make a purchase.
After inquiring all the way, Jiang Feng finally found the grocery store.
As soon as he walked into the store, a fat man with a very sensual feeling immediately rolled in front of Jiang Feng. smiled at him and said politely, "This guest, what do you need?" ”
"Eh, I just joined the village and need some daily necessities, do you have any supplies here?" Jiang Feng looked at the meat ball in front of him, a little surprised, he didn't expect that someone could grow like this, it was really wonderful. Sure enough, there are all kinds of strange things in the other world.
"Oh, yes, everything. Guest, wait a minute. After speaking, he took out a large number of goods from the counter and enthusiastically sold them to Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng was stunned by this round fat man, and after a while, he bought a lot of things. Then I took the things back to my nest with the store staff.
Jiang Feng looked at the pile of goods on the ground in front of him, and then looked at his money bag that was missing five gold coins, and he had the urge to slap his face. I always thought that people from other worlds were pure, but I didn't expect that there were profiteers.
What Jiang Feng didn't expect was that he, a young man with a nose, eyes, ears, and a mouth who had been in the Great Celestial Empire for more than 20 years, was actually fooled by a profiteer from another world, which was simply insulting to the face of the army.
Look at the pile of groceries in front of you, get ready to tidy up, and see what's in there by the way. I was fooled by the profiteers just now, and I didn't know what I bought.
I cleaned up the items and found that I was really fooled, and there was everything in it. Even unused items such as ropes and tents are among them, and many of them have a thick layer of ash, which looks like they have been stockpiled for a long time.
This lesson also made Jiang Feng sober up, knowing that not all people in the other world are good people, and the other world is actually no different from the earth. It's just that the people I met at the beginning were all good people, and most of the people I knew were good people.
But Jiang Feng still didn't know that Luna had a purpose in saving him, and he always thought that he was lucky and met a good person.
Jiang Feng threw all the unused items such as tents and ropes into the Ring Realm, and wiped the rest clean and placed them away. Then I looked at the room and finally felt a little bit of home.
But Jiang Feng still felt that something was wrong, and after taking a closer look, it turned out that the food had not been prepared yet. It just so happened that Jiang Feng's stomach was also a little hungry at this time, so he was going to go outside to buy some ingredients and come back to cook and eat.
This time, Jiang Feng didn't make a fool, he was there to see what price others used to buy things, and then after knowing the price. I bargained and bought a piece of meat that I don't know what kind of animal it was. Actually, he wanted to buy some vegetables, but he walked all over the places where the food was sold. I didn't find a place to sell vegetables, and they all sold meat.
Carrying the meat he bought, Jiang Feng returned to the nest he loved, although there was no hostess yet. He washed it with clean water, then cut the meat into dices with a dagger that he had been fooled into, put it all into a clay pot, and filled it with water.
Then it is boiled over the fire, and from time to time it is added with some seasoning bought from the grocery store, although the seasoning is very small, only salt, cumin and black pepper. But after Jiang Feng's cooking skills that he had practiced in the Great Heaven Empire for four years, it was still delicious, at least better than the barbecue from the other world.
After Jiang Feng finished eating the broth in the wooden bowl, he burped, which was the most delicious food he had eaten since he came to the Otherworld. Although he did it himself.
After eating, Jiang Feng lay on the bed, thinking that he had nothing to do now anyway, so he went back to the ring realm to find the ring spirit.
As soon as he entered the precept realm, he saw that the precept spirit was playing with some of the items he had gotten in earlier, and he was having a good time.
Jiang Feng quietly walked behind the ring spirit and shouted in the ear of the ring spirit.
But the Ring Spirit didn't panic at all, turned around and said to Jiang Feng with a smile: "Am I the Ring Spirit, I knew it as soon as you came in, and you still want to scare me?" You're just dreaming. ”
"Uh, hehe, I'm just kidding." Jiang Feng smiled at the ring spirit. "By the way, you're having so much fun with these things?"
