Chapter 21: Kuhl's Troubles

"Willy is Wally's owner, and I'm Wally's nanny, and I'm in charge of taking care of all the chores of his life!"

Velia added proudly, a smug smile on her face.

Kull looked at Willy and Velia with admiration, the brother and sister, who actually kept a bear as a pet.

"Velia, it's time for Wally to feed her milk. ”

"I took Big Brother Chur to the house to rest," Willy said. ”

"Okay!"

Vilia agreed loudly.

on the dining table.

The Willy family sat around with Kuhl, and the table was filled with hearty food.

Marinated rabbit, stir-fried rabbit, sliced roasted deer leg, turnip vegetables, noodle soup, white flour cake and glucose wine.

Kuhl's eyes widened, it was the first time he had eaten such a sumptuous dinner at Uncle Lake's house.

He suddenly understood why Velia had such a high regard for Willy before, it turned out that the rich meat brought by a hunter was really difficult for people to resist.

Kuhl subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his stomach was gurgling after an afternoon of travel.

"Let's go!"

Uncle Lake happily announced.

"Then you're welcome!"

Kull stretched out his fork and put a slice of roasted deer leg into his mouth, the smell of meat filling his mouth for a moment.

He didn't stop and continued to stuff the rabbit meat into his mouth. Thick grease flowed in his mouth, but Kuhl didn't feel greasy at all. Kuhl is very satisfied, because he used to eat meat, and at most he ate an oil star, how can he eat so happily as he does now.

After swallowing the meat in his mouth, Kuhl poured a large glass of wine into his mouth, and the cool sensation spread throughout his body. Eating meat and drinking alcohol is a way of life that he has always longed for.

Vilia, like Kuhl, stuffed her mouth with meat, not a bit of a lady. If it weren't for Mrs. Sawin's good mood, she would have been lectured again.

Ryker and Mrs. Swaen's faces were filled with indescribable joy, and Willy was calm after all, having eaten meat for more than ten days in a row, so tonight's dinner was not particularly attractive to him. It was the wine that Lake brought out that made him a little interested.

Alcohol is still quite expensive in this world, and it is simply impossible for civilians to drink alcohol every day, and this kind of cost is unaffordable for an ordinary civilian family.

Willy took a gentle sip of the wine from his glass, and a mixture of sweetness and astringency spread through his taste buds.

Willy frowned slightly, the taste of this wine was far worse than he expected, and it could not be compared to the inferior wines of his previous life. It's like a low-grade version of grape juice, the taste of the wine is very light, and even if you drink a hundred glasses, you will only last until you get drunk instead of getting drunk.

"Kull, thank you for traveling between Diamond Town and the village for Thorpass. ”

Lake raised his glass and thanked Kuhl.

Kull hurriedly swallowed the residue in his mouth, and at the same time raised his glass in return: "Uncle Lake, you are too polite, this is all as it should be, Thorpes and I have been friends since childhood." ”

Lake nodded, not continuing to thank pretentiously, Kuhl was also the child he grew up watching.

"By the way, Kuhl, is your job in Diamondville going well?"

Shortly after Thorpes became a member of Baron Kells' bodyguard, Kull also entered Diamondville as an apprentice at a drugstore.

Kuhl replied, "It's going well, my boss thinks a lot of things to me, he teaches me a lot of things, and now he teaches me about accounting and manages the finances of the pharmacy." ”

It wasn't surprising that Lake heard this, as Kuhl had been a clever kid since he was a child, and it was normal for him to win the weight of his boss.

"But I may have to live a little tighter in the last two months, because the pharmacy will not be able to pay my salary. ”

At this point, a hint of annoyance suddenly appeared on Kuhl's face.

"Your pharmacy is going to close?"

Lake frowned, even if he was valued by the boss again, if the store was not well managed, it would be useless.

"Not really, it's just that he's been in big trouble lately. Speaking of this, Kuhl also stopped eating and looked sad, "Just half a month ago, my boss imported a batch of new medicinal herbs from other places. The herbs were all sun-dried blades of grass, mixed together. But I didn't expect it to rain heavily during the transportation process, and the grass blades were all soaked and even soaked and rotten. When they were dried again, they found that many of them were broken to the point that they were no longer in shape. ”

"It doesn't matter if the herbs are broken, right? After all, the effect of the medicine will not decay. ”

Willy has the knowledge of a beginner gatherer, and he understands this as well.

"Of course, the efficacy of the medicine will not be affected, but the problem is that the leaves of those similar-looking herbs are mixed together after breaking, and the varieties cannot be distinguished at all, which is the biggest problem. ”

As he spoke, Kuhl felt sorry for his boss.

When Willy heard this, he instantly understood.

Some herbs have very similar leaves, but can be identified by the detailed features of some rhizomes. But if you crush them all and put them back together, then it is difficult to tell because the leaves are mostly homogeneous, and it is impossible to tell which herb is the leaf. If you can't separate these leaves, you can't sell them at all. If you use the wrong herbs, you can die.

"Didn't your boss find a professional herbalist to help with sorting?"

Willy continued.

Kull showed a regretful look: "Of course I found it, but those herbalists said that the herbs were so damaged that they couldn't tell the difference." ”

"This transaction caused the boss to lose a lot of money, so he couldn't pay his salary for the time being. Kuhl continued, "My boss is a good person, and I really feel sorry for him for this kind of thing, and I hope he can solve this problem." ”

Kuhl was suddenly a little dull.

Velimore rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Perhaps, I can help your boss." ”

"You?"

Kuhl glanced at Willy questioningly, a look of disbelief.

"I often go into Morse Forest, and I'm quite familiar with certain varieties of medicinal herbs. ”

Willy didn't say anything particularly full.

"Maybe Vully can really help you. Mrs. Swaen spoke suddenly, "He can accurately discern the quality of the sweetener, and the last time he picked it was so sweet and fragrant that it fetched a good price in Diamond Town." ”

Originally, this was still a little secret in the family, but now that Willy is a hunter, there is no need to hide this little secret from outsiders.

"But ......"

Kuhl still felt a little unreliable, and there was too much difference between distinguishing the quality of the sweet fruit and the type of medicinal herb.
