Volume 3 The Cradle of the Chicks Chapter 55 Natural Disaster
Luo, this guy is willing to follow Lasis and them out, eighty percent or as a nanny a little more, who knows what brainless things this skinny tiger will do when his brain is hot, such as running all the way to the capital of this country, and then sneaking into the palace to see the princess of this country, etc., but this time Luo is too worried, even if he learns that the princess of this country is a little beauty embryo, Lasis just wants to find a good restaurant, taste the most authentic camel meat, he has eaten in other places, because of regional cultural differences, There is always a little local flavor in it, and it is not very authentic, just like eating Chinese food in other countries.
Luo is not a foodie, as a doctor, he is always very particular about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, never overeat, put down the tableware in his hand early, asked the boss for a copy of today's newspaper, read it carefully, and the remaining few are still eating there in large pieces, especially Lacis's eating appearance is the worst, since he was a child, the ability to grab food under people's mouths trained together with Ace and Luffy in the Dadan family is outstanding, this is the dining concept of the Dadan family - if you don't eat enough, you won't win if you fight, So if you can't win this meal, you won't be full at the next meal, this is the divine logic of their family, and that's why Lasis and their table are extremely noisy, and when they fight with each other for a few big pieces of meat, there will be things like wine bottles or table knives flying to the next table, but other people only dare to write their complaints on their faces, but no one is willing to come out and make a bird, and righteously let Lasis and their behavior be checked, Lasis and their gang are too much like pirates, "pirates in navy skins" This phrase used to describe the G5 Fortress Navy is not for nothing.
"Boss!" Lassis raised his hand and shouted, "Another barrel of rum!" ”
"Bring me a glass of water, too, thank you." Luo, who was reading the newspaper, looked up and said.
Soon, a wooden barrel full of wine was carried up by the waiters, and at the same time, a maid put the water that Luo asked for in front of him, and noticed that the maid did not leave, and Luo, who was very polite, raised his head and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Sir, you see you're dressed as foreigners, right?" The maid said timidly: "Now the transactions involving Qingshui here need to be paid on the spot. ”
It is very normal for clear water to be traded as a commodity as an important material for survival at sea, and this is the case in various ports, but it is not so harsh that you need to pay for a glass of water in a restaurant.
"How much." Law asked.
"10,000 Baileys." The maid's voice was still a little shaky, in her opinion, the group of guys in front of her was 100% pirates, especially the big bald head that was more than 3 meters tall and had a scar on his face.
All of a sudden, Lasis and his gang, who were originally playing, stopped what they were doing, and their faces were not very good-looking, and finally Lacis, who was still smiling, spoke, "Little girl, although it is understandable to deceive tourists a little bit by putting on various names in tourist resorts, but you guys are a bit too much, right?" ”
Lasis pointed to the glass in front of Luo, "This is not more than my pee, and I have to charge 10,000?" No one likes to be fooled. ”
"Well, no one likes to be taken for a fool!" Li Luo, who had a small bald head and thick eyebrows, echoed on the side, "It's just that boss, your analogy is omitted, it's too vulgar." ”
The maid shook her hand and hurriedly said: "No, it's not such a gentleman, it's just that this country has not had rain for almost 1 year, and some small oases have dried up, sir can go to the exchange to see, Qingshui is now rising in price every day, and the price is almost the same as the specialty spice." ”
"Acts of God?" When it comes to big topics, Lasis can always immediately restrain his playful thoughts, Lasis smiled: "I walked all the way from the dock, and I saw a lot of people along the street, I really can't see that this place has been plagued by natural disasters for 1 year, on the contrary, it is very calm, and nothing major has happened." ”
Thinking that there was nothing to lie about such a big matter, as soon as I asked, I knew that Lacis and the maids did not embarrass them, and they quickly paid the bills, and the maids who carefully counted the banknotes one by one said casually: "This is a trading port, most of them are maritime merchants, with their own ships, and their water is transported from other places nearby, and then dumped locally, which can make a big difference!" If it weren't for the fact that our boss had taken risks at sea when he was young, and he was born locally, he had a certain amount of connections and prestige here, and he would not have gotten a discount when buying clean water. ”
"Do you take advantage of the national disaster to make a fortune?" Luo, who never interjected, said: "Pathetic human nature. ”
Lassis pointed at Law and said, "You can't be so arbitrary, if it were me, I would do the same, but I will provide some job opportunities for the young laborers, don't raise them for nothing!" ”
Lassis turned his head and asked, "Does the royal family care?" An injunction should be issued three months after a natural disaster like this occurs, right? If I were the king, I would buy the water from these merchants, and of course I would still make some money for them, but there would never be a sky-high price, and if they didn't agree, they would all be thrown in jail. ”
Lying on his back, Liu Bang, who was grunting and drinking, teased: "King, you have no chance, or you can get rid of that princess, maybe you can mix with the regent in the future." ”
"On that day, I will definitely hire you to the palace at a high price."
"Good brother!"
"It's just cleaning the toilet."
“……”
"The royal family here is beyond the reach of the whip." The maid said, "I heard from the people on the other side of the river that in the oasis of Juba, on the other side of the Sando River, there have been rebels for the purpose of overthrowing the government, and most of the king's troops have gathered by the river to guard against the rebels on the other side. ”
Dating back almost thousands of years to the primeval period, Alabastan was bisected by a huge river called the Santo River, where the Lassis are now located, near the middle of the country's eastern south coast.
"Rebels?" In Lacis's impression, this kind of rebel army is probably the same as the Yellow Turban thieves in the Three Kingdoms, whether they are equipped or not, whether they have quality or not, they are completely a rabble composed of a group of civilians, Lasis was curious: "Can't you do it all at once?" ”
"How can I say it......" The maid thought for a moment and said, "Originally, the king's army was in an absolute advantage, and quickly defeated the main force of the rebels, but when it carried out the final blow, it was disturbed by a sudden desert storm, because the rebels had scattered in all directions and there was no loss, but the elite of the king's army suffered huge losses in that storm, and finally had to retreat to the riverside. ”
"Haha, it's like Roger facing the Golden Lion, Roger, who is absolutely weak in terms of troops, was saved by a storm before he was defeated, Destiny!" Liu Bang, who had been listening for so long, finally spoke.
The maid nodded, "So now more and more people think that the rebels are the place to be, at least in the west, where more and more civilians are fleeing. ”
"You know a lot." Lasis laughed.
The maid stuck out her tongue mischievously, "I've heard it all, working in this kind of place, you will always know more." ”
Until the maid retreated, Lassis asked as if to herself: "It's really strange, this country has been in turmoil for nearly a year, and seeing that the rebels are gradually growing, why hasn't the world government organized a combined army to enter the country to suppress it?" Is it really as rumored that he is dissatisfied with the democratic policies advocated by the current king and wants to take the opportunity to become regent? ”
After taking a sip of clear water, which was probably comparable to gold, Luo Youyou said: "Let the rebels overthrow the royal family, and then let the government army come forward to quell the rebellion, and take the opportunity to establish a dictatorship closer to the coalition government?" What a calculation. ”
"Anyway, it doesn't matter how many people die in this country." The heartless Lasis shrugged and said, "I'm just a soldier, just obey orders." ”
