"Hagiyaki, that famous ceramic Hagiyaki, isn't there here?" Long Tao's face changed slightly.

The shopkeeper frowned and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, "Ceramic Hagiyaki?" Haven't heard of it. ”

Long Tao's heart sank, remembering that some specialties in the game would only appear after the town reached a certain scale, and now the scale of this Akama Seki no Town is obviously still very small!

"Am I coming early? Hagiyaki hasn't existed at all? ”

The towns in the game will gradually grow in size over time, but at an extremely slow pace!

If you want to expand the size of the town quickly, you have to invest in it, and if you invest enough money, the size of the town will increase in a month or two.

But, that's just in the game!

You know, the expansion of the scale of the town means the expansion of the town, the increase in population, the increase in the flow of customers, etc., in this living story world, these things can never be as simple as in the game, just one or two months can be realized, it will definitely take a long process to do.

Rather than waiting for the scale of the town to grow slowly, it is better to simply go back and continue to do those less profitable transactions, and after a year and a half, I believe that I can also make 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.

"Are you going to run for nothing?" Long Tao looked at the sparse guests in the seat, frowning and pondering.

"Huh? Wrong! Long Tao's heart suddenly moved, "Since the scale of the town can't suddenly become as big as in the game, then it is impossible for a certain product to suddenly appear as the scale of the town increases." ”

The so-called "products that appear when the scale of the town grows" are products that have been discovered gradually as the town's commerce has developed.

In other words, Hagiyaki's kind of thing should already exist at this moment, at least a prototype has appeared, but it is just dusty somewhere, waiting for someone with a discerning eye to find out!

"In this case, if I become this discerning person, won't I make a fortune?"

Thinking of this, Long Tao perked up and asked the shopkeeper: "Is there anything famous for making pottery in this area?" ”

"Nope." The shopkeeper thought for a moment and shook his head.

Long Tao continued to ask: "Is there a place called Hagi in this area?" ”

"Hey, I'm glad you asked me, there really is such a place!" The shopkeeper smiled: "It is a small village near the Abu River, it is very remote, someone in the village has come to buy things, I just know, the average person in this town does not know this place at all." ”

"Where's Awuchuan?"

Long Tao knew that the Japanese called the big river Chuan, and with such a river as a mark, the place should be easy to find.

"If you leave the town and go north and east along the seaside, you will see the mouth of the Abu River after passing a few small islands."

According to the guidance of the shopkeeper, Long Tao and the three of them walked forty or fifty miles to the northeast, and sure enough, they saw a big river flowing into the sea.

The area around the mouth of the sea was deserted, and the three of them went up the river against the current, and soon entered the mountains, and the river valley became narrow and deep, making it difficult to walk.

The three of them climbed to the top of the mountain, looked around, and there was smoke rising from the southwest direction, and Long Tao was overjoyed, leading the two of them down the mountain to run there.

After walking a short time, I met a girl in a wood, about eleven or twelve years old, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, and looked at them with big eyes and vigilant eyes when she saw them.

"Little girl, is the village over there Hagi Village?" Long Tao asked.

The little girl looked at them without saying a word for a moment, then suddenly turned around and ran away.

"Hey! What to run? ”

Liuji screamed, wanting to catch up, Long Tao held him down, "No need to chase, it should be, it seems that there are few outsiders here, and that little girl will be so nervous." ”

The three of them walked out of the woods, through a rice paddy, and in front of a small village.

A small road winds its way to the entrance of the quiet village, and as the three of them walked past, a group of people suddenly jumped out of the grass hut on the side of the road and stopped them in the middle.

This is a group of teenagers, holding bamboo guns and wooden knives in their hands, looking at the three of them, as if they are facing a great enemy.

The little girl who was collecting firewood just now also stood up and sandwiched a bamboo gun in it, and next to her was a tall and thin teenager, and the only one holding a real knife, which was particularly conspicuous among a group of half-grown children.

The young man roared and shouted, "You thieves, if you want to enter the village, you must first pass my Kenzaburo pass!" After speaking, he slashed the long knife forward twice, and the wind was blowing.

Ruyoshi pulled out his knife, stepped forward, and said with a smile: "Have you ever practiced swordsmanship?" ”

The young man stepped out of the crowd, stood in front of Ruyoshi, and shouted, "Let's have a duel between the samurai!" ”

"You skinny monkey dare to call yourself a samurai?" Ruyoshi raised his knife and made a fierce expression.

Long Tao smiled: "Liuji, don't hurt people." ”

"Yes, sir!" Ruyoshi bowed down to receive the order, and suddenly turned around and slashed at the boy.

This is a knife in the "Ten Styles of Bloody Battle", and as soon as he made a move, he had a desperate momentum, and the young man jumped and was stunned for a while.

Seeing that a knife was about to be cut, when Ruyoshi was about to accept it, the young man suddenly swung the long knife diagonally, and actually blocked Ruyoshi's knife.

Although the block was hasty, the boy rolled on the spot, avoiding Ruyoshi's back move, pressing on the ground with one hand, and his body immediately stood up, staring at Ruyoshi with his eyes tightly.

"This kid's body reaction is much stronger than that of Ruyoshi and the others." Long Tao's heart moved.

Ruyoshi continued to swing his knife and slash sideways, but was picked open by the young man, he took advantage of the situation to jump, turned around in the air, and slashed down from top to bottom.

This knife is powerful and heavy, and Ruyoshi was aroused by the young man's fighting spirit, and this time he has used nine points of strength.

The young man blocked with a horizontal knife, although he was lean, his strength was not small, and the two knives were slashed together. It was a stalemate.

At this time, a woman's coquettish voice came: "Kenzaburo, you're messing around again!" I only know what samurai games to play all day long, what should I do with the injured people? ”

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl walked over, dragged him behind him by the back of the young man, and bowed to Long Tao and the others: "I'm really sorry, my naughty brother has frightened you. ”

The young Kenzaburo was dragged away by his sister, his face was flushed, and his eyes were full of unconvinced and helpless looks.

The little girl who was collecting firewood came to the girl's side and whispered, "Sister, these three people are all carrying knives!" ”

Long Tao noticed that the two girls had some similarities with Kenzaburo's appearance.

The girl bowed again and introduced: "The little woman's name is Ah Chun, this is my younger brother Kenzaburo, this is my sister Ah Chang, I don't know what the three adults are doing here?" ”

Long Tao leaned over slightly and returned the salute, "Down here are the Ashikaga Yoshi, a merchant from Gyeonggi, these two are my servants, is this Hagi Village?" ”

Ah Chun bent down again and said with a smile: "It turns out that a few of them are from Gyeonggi, it's really not easy to find here!" This village is Hagimura, is Mr. Ashikaga 5 looking for someone? ”

Long Tao shook his head and said, "No, I heard that there is a famous craftsman who makes pottery in this village, and he came to pay a visit." ”

Ah Chun raised his head, looked surprised, and asked excitedly, "Does Ashikaga-sama-chan even know that there are pottery makers in this village!" Where did you hear about it? It's really incredible, only my father is the only one who makes pottery in this village! Ah, I knew my father's pottery would be appreciated! ”

Long Tao didn't expect to run into the main owner with a casual try, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart.

Kenzaburo stepped out from behind Ah Chun and shouted, "Sister, don't be stupid! These people are far away in Gyeonggi, how can they know about our small village? And those broken jars made by my father have never left the village at all, how can anyone know? I think these three people are liars! ”

Ah Chun reproached: "Kenzaburo! How can you say that about the work of the father! ”

Long Tao thought that this kid was clever enough.

"Am I wrong?" Kenzaburo said loudly: "A man should pick up a sword and a gun, go to the battlefield to fight for the honor of a samurai, and pinch those mud all day long!" ”

"You're going too far!" Ah Chun slapped Kenzaburo on the back of the neck.

Kenzaburo took two steps back with his neck covered, raised his head and shouted, "You and your eldest brother will follow him here to play with mud!" Sooner or later, I'm going to become a samurai and get out of this hellish place! After saying that, he ran into the distance without looking back.

Ah Chun looked at his distant back and shook his head, turned around, bowed deeply to Long Tao and the three of them, and said apologetically: "Let the three of them laugh!" ”

Long Tao waved his hand and said: "Miss Ah Chun doesn't have to be polite, so that my brother has great ambitions, and I also like this temperament." Oh, by the way, can you take us to meet Lingzun? ”

"Okay, please come with me."

The three of them followed Ah Chun into the village, passing through the rows of grass huts, all the way to the end of the village, Ah Chun did not stop, and continued to walk outside the village.

Along the way, Long Tao secretly noticed that there were about 100 families in the whole village, all of which lived in wooden thatched-roof houses, a barren and backward scene.

About a mile from the village, beside a stream, four large huts stood, and as we approached, I heard a peculiar smell of earth.

There were several loquat-colored clay pots under the eaves, and the naturally changing colors had a natural feeling, which immediately attracted the attention of the three of them.

Ah Chun pushed open the door, an old man and a young man were making a clay blank inside, the young one was rotating with a roller, and the old one was pinching it purely by hand, both of them were extremely focused, and they were unaware of the arrival of Long Tao and a few people.

Long Tao glanced at the finished pottery placed in the house, the color is mainly loquat and cream white, it looks natural and simple, and the ordinary simplicity reveals a heaviness.

"Looks like you've found the right one!"

Long Tao's heart settled down.
