Chapter 706: Slime Basin Travels (Arsenal Ranking)
The supply and marketing cooperatives opposite the farm canteen didn't have much goods except for the necessities of life, such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and needles, threads, and brains, so Charles could only buy some dried fruits as snacks.
However, the shop next door to the supply and marketing cooperatives was a bit interesting, and Charles suspected that he could wait for Kong Yiji here.
Before the end of the evening, the boss was frying soybeans for wine in a small pot, and the fragrance wafted to the supply and marketing cooperatives next door.
The tavern was the best place to inquire about the news, and Charles came to the counter, cleared a few work tickets, and said, "Boss, have some drinks, and some snacks." ”
The boss glanced at Charles, scooped a cup of hot tea from the steaming barrel, placed it on the counter along with a small plate of fried soybeans, and took a work ticket.
Charles had intended to sit in the store, but it was now occupied by a number of aunts, who gathered together to embroider cross-stitch and talk about their parents.
So he pulled a chair and sat at the counter, drinking tea and chewing fried soybeans while chatting with the boss.
Charles asked, "Boss, are the things embroidered by those eldest sisters easy to sell?"
The boss, who continued to fry the soybeans, replied: "I heard that the sales are good, but they can't be sold at a price, so I will make some hard money." ”
Charles saw a pair of cross-stitches hanging on the walls of the tavern, embroidered on white linen and dyed in bright colors, with the story of Artoria helping to clear the way in the Slime Basin.
Although this kind of cross-stitch is simple and inexpensive, it also has its own unique features.
In these years, tapestry and embroidery are the best choice for decorating the wall, the cost of linen is not high, the simple process and high output make its price not high, plus its artistic value is okay, this kind of cheap embroidery that the rich do not look down on is quite popular among ordinary citizens.
It can be seen that Ji Shijun has worked hard to increase the income of residents.
Charles continued to chat with the boss over a cup of tea, but there wasn't much news here, it was all trivial matters of daily life, and the interesting part was that Bailovich and a man named Starmer were often discussing heated issues that no one understood.
Now Charles was interested, and he asked, "Who is Starmer?"
The boss replied, "Mr. Starmer is the priest of the Temple of the Harvest, and he is as knowledgeable as Mr. Bailovich, and they get along well when they are in the field, but they are prone to quarrel when they leave the field. ”
"Oh, they're arguing so fiercely, we're all afraid they're going to fight. ”
Now Charles is energetic.
The temples in the basin are not only from the west, but other temples have also opened their doors here.
Charles heard Queen Victoria say that the Harvest Temple had embarked on a path contrary to Philip's ideals, which can be said to be one of the reasons why Philip finally chose the demons.
Now it can be said that Philip's two groups of disciples are quarreling, and it would be a pity not to see this excitement.
However, Charles didn't deliberately provoke the two to fight again, and he decided to meet the Starmer.
Charles asked the owner and learned that Starmer had been teaching the children at the farm's school during this time, and after asking where the school was, he left the tavern.
The farm's school is located on the east side of the residential area, and it covers a large area, with no fence, but a fence more than one meter high.
This afternoon there was a magic class at school, and a row of children practiced magic on the playground against a stake target.
People in this world can theoretically release magic as long as they eat for a long time, but the fireball technique released by the vast majority of people who are not talented is only the effect of two or three disposable lighters being lit at the same time, and the torrent technique is not much stronger than the bathroom shower, and the wind technique is almost the same as a floor fan, which is better than nothing.
In this world where power is respected, the wind you unleash is one notch stronger than others, and you will gain more respect than others.
So the kids in school are training hard, even if the goal is to be just a little better than the others.
The children of the poor are in charge of the family, and the children here have experienced difficult days, and they know that studying in school can change their destiny, so none of the students in the playground are lazy.
Charles watched with interest for a moment, and it was an elf who was teaching magic, and he didn't see Starmer.
There are a few children here who are talented and have good hearts, Charles greeted the elf teacher and took the dried fruits he just bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives to encourage those children, patted their heads by the way, and quietly stuffed them into the "system" plug-in.
Charles can't remember how many kids he's stuffed with plug-ins, and now his principle is: your mother.
After the plug-in was delivered, Charles was surprised to find Freya walking out of the school building, and Freya seemed to be very happy humming a ditty.
Charles walked over and asked, "Why are you here?"
Freya replied, "Why can't I be here?" ”
Charles tapped her head and asked, "What happened, so happy?"
Freya said: "I came to ask the teachers about it, and the students can't hide what they are thinking, and they often spread what they hear from home in the school. ”
"Oh?" Charles asked curiously, "Got any news?"
"No, I don't. Freya shook her head with disdain, "It's just that someone tried to preach to me, and I was defeated when he debated with me." ”
Charles asked curiously, "How can you still refute others?" ”
Freya stepped on Charles's feet, looked at Charles with disdain, and said, "You think I'm stupid, don't you?"
Charles nodded.
Freya stepped on the other side of Charles's foot again, and then said: "I have read all the books of her parents in Cuihua's family in the past few years, and I have read all the books in the farm library, don't think that we won't study." ”
Charles took out a piece of dried fruit and handed it to Freya, saying, "What a good boy, this is a reward for you." ”
Freya looked at Charles angrily, she took the dried fruit and threw it into her mouth, and said as she ate, "You should learn from your uncle, who carries a bundle of pens and gives them two days to encourage people." ”
Charles was embarrassed, he still remembered the first time he went to see Cuihua with the Demon King, and the Demon King gave Cuihua a pen.
He asked, "Who did you just refute?"
Freya said disdainfully: "A man named Starmer, hmph, reformism and gradualism are evil. ”
Charles blinked, he seemed to know something.
Now was clearly not the time to meet Starmer, who had just lost the battle, and Charles decided to ask at Bailovich's house for dinner tonight.
Then Charles and Freya went to the vegetable market, and although Bailovich's allowance as a member of the expert group was not low, Charles and his group would eat Bailovich until the following days to drink porridge, which was embarrassing.
If Bailovich had posted on the Rurik Kingdom's dream platform tonight that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had eaten up his stock with five girls, the problem would be extremely serious.
Chickens and ducks are raised on farms on the edge of residential areas, and the farms are responsible for the supply of meat and eggs on the farms.
In the vegetable market not far from the farm, in addition to the meat and eggs provided with the meat ticket, you can also come here to buy some extra chickens and ducks to go back to the tooth sacrifice with the work ticket.
If you're willing to give a little more work, the people at the market can help you kill the chickens and ducks.
However, the feathers on the chicken's tail and duck feathers are strategic materials in the basin, and this must be recycled.
Not to mention the down jacket that is very popular in the north, Ji Shijun even exported feather dusters in order to make money.
When the sunset began to climb up the sky, Charles and Freya came to the door of Bailovich's house, with a chicken in their left hand and a duck in their right, and a large winter melon on their backs.
