Chapter 290
Listening to the rooster crowing outside the window, Hamlin opened his eyes and looked out the window. It was already dawn. Sitting up, jumping out of bed, putting on the tunic hanging next to him, and hanging his saber on his belt, Hamlin slapped his face with his hand to refresh himself. It's been half a year, and looking at the sun outside the window, Hamlin can't help but sigh.
Half a year has passed since I came to this world. I was confused at the beginning, but now I have some spirit. Hamlin thought of the confusion and fear he had felt when he was first asked to survive in the forest for three days by the inexplicable system, and he didn't diminish it in the slightest until he encountered the caravan. Fortunately, the people in the caravan were very good, and there was no obvious discrimination against an outsider like himself, and he gave himself some food and clothes when he decided to leave. Later, I went to a village, because the merchants were acquaintances here, they introduced me to a temporary place, so I didn't have to sleep in the open air, and I had a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Of course, you can't eat if you don't work, and you can be given a place to live, and Hamlin is thankful that he doesn't care about the fact that the village doesn't give him food and firewood. Food is the most valuable treasure in this village, with food there is more life, although firewood is not as good as food, but no matter who it is, daily life is inseparable from it, and firewood can also be used to sell, it is also the wealth of the family.
Of course, as a Chinese student, Hamlin did not look down on those who started to live again after traveling to another world, and he also knew that although his current situation was not the worst, it was not a good situation. The most important thing now is to integrate into the village and then use it as a base point to expand your social circle. Fortunately, I still have a lot of knowledge that can be used, plus the system that makes me love and hate the guy on the side, will always hand over some tasks, although each task will have an unacceptable failure penalty, but anyway, whenever I don't know what to do, these tasks will always guide me on the right path, and even give a reminder similar to defensive tasks or other tasks when the crisis is coming that I am not aware of. And many of the rewards were urgently needed by myself at that time, and I could also exchange some urgently needed things through indescribable things like souls, even including knowledge.
Yes, more than any other physical object, Hamlin felt that knowledge was the most valuable thing that the system could exchange. And the knowledge in this system is so wide that not only the knowledge in this world can be exchanged, but even the knowledge on the earth in the previous life can be found - Hamlin even found his graduation thesis in it.
With this knowledge, Hamlin gradually integrated into the village. In particular, all kinds of better technologies that can make wheat grow have made Hamlin extremely popular in the village, and even not long ago, an aunt brought her daughter and niece to go on a blind date. Hamlin looked at the black and thin little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her head was scratched.
However, because Hamlin's agricultural technology is not very good now, most of them are just words, and it is not really good to actually do it. And now it's just that the wheat seedlings are growing well, and as for how much the final harvest is, even he himself is not sure. So after initially tending to a small piece of farmland leased to him by the village chief with his neighbor Uncle Fama, Hamlin was more likely to process finished products from the resources around him – selling deep-processed finished products was more profitable than selling raw materials, as Hamlin had known for a long time.
Hamlin used half a fist-sized amount of fructose to get a one-year lease on the house he now lives in, and he used half a piece of fructose to go to the market to find a merchant in exchange for a lot of wheat seeds.
Nowadays, the price of wheat seeds is cheap because of the season, but because it is not easy to preserve, the price is not high. With these wheat seeds, Hamlin made maltose with wheat and won the first pot of gold. Now, half a year later, Hamlin has become one of the richest people in the village. It is also a pity that the lords of this village are not very fond of taking care of things—in fact, most lords don't like to take care of rural affairs except for taxes—otherwise, technicians like Hamlin, who have the ability to make money but have no background, are only forcibly recruited to work day and night in the house.
Today is the date of delivery. Hamlin got up and walked straight to a jar next to the bed. Hamlin used a cotton cloth to strain the dregs from the syrup, then poured all the syrup into the cauldron in the kitchen, lit the firewood, and carefully controlled the fire to keep it too big, while Hamlin kept stirring in the pot with a large spoon. As the water vapor in the syrup is lost, the syrup becomes more and more viscous. Counting the time, Hamlin removed the wood from the stove, and then took out two small jars while the maltose in the pot was not low and had not solidified, scooped the maltose into the pot and sealed it with a cotton cloth. Last time I made an appointment with the merchant was a jar, this time Hamlin made some more, ready to send Uncle Fama next door, who had troubled the uncle's family for a long time, and now that his life is relaxed, it would be good to be able to help them.
After finishing the business at hand, Hamlin casually made some food to fill his stomach. There was still some sugar in the pot just now, and Hamlin didn't care, so he directly added some water to boil it and boiled a bowl of sugar water. Then Hamlin looked at the black bread at hand, threw it in, put out the fire and simmered for a while, so that the sugar water could penetrate into the black bread and simmer the black bread until soft. In the past six months, Hamlin has already learned how to deal with these dough cakes that are hard enough to knock people to death, and at least now he can make food that does not knock people's teeth out, which is really gratifying, gratifying.
Sighing secretly, Hamlin directly took a bowl of cold water and rinsed his mouth. Due to the lack of effective maintenance, people in this world are prone to tooth loss. Hamlin didn't want to lose his teeth in his thirties, so he maintained them regularly - but the means were limited, and Hamlin didn't know how much effect it would have, but at least it was better to do it than not to do it at all. Every now and then, Hamlin misses the past more and more.
But now is not the time to think about this, Hamlin put down the bowl in his hand, opened the lid of the pot, looked at the black bread that was full of sugar water and became fluffy, and sighed slightly: "Let's live first." At least I know that the world is not simple. Anyway, that damn system isn't going to give me time to get sad. If I don't prepare, if the time comes, the mission fails and I die in vain, that's not the ending I want. ”
