Inari Town is an important granary of the Church of the God of Harvest, although the population here is not large, but the yield of barley and wheat is dozens of times the demand of the population.

Ten kilometers from Inari Town, both sides of the road are already covered with green wheat, and the refreshing scent of plants is sent into the nostrils by the warm breeze.

"What does this smell like?" Nana poked her head out of the carriage and took a deep breath of wheat.

"It's wheat. Leo held Nana's shoulders so that the girl would not fall out of the carriage.

"It's barley, spelt, and some oats. Little Paul looked out the window and said exactly the names of the crops.

"That's a lot to know, boy. Leo rubbed little Paul's head.

Little Paul knocked off Leo's hand: "It's not tall to touch your head." My family used to farm, and I often helped in the fields, so I knew more. ”

"It seems that even if you stop adventuring in the future, you still have a craft that can survive. ”

Nana took another breath of wheat and asked, "Is the wheat green?" it smells like leaves. ”

"It's green, but it's more serious than the free leaves, and the wheat has to be sown and grown according to the farmer's plan. ”

"Ah, I think, I've got a picture. ”

Isenas and little Paul looked at the wheat fields, and then little Paul sighed: "The people of this town are so happy." ”

"Happiness?" the sleepy Lizanka was a little incomprehensible to the exclamation of Esenas and little Paul, what is there to be happy in such a cookie-cutter place, where there is no opera and no hunting grounds, which is monotonous and boring?

"Being well fed and clothed is the greatest happiness. Little Paul, who has been adrift in the war all year round, was deeply touched by this, and he looked at the barley in the field with great interest, although it was the tillering period of the barley, but little Paul, who had grown up in the farmland, had already seen the golden ears of wheat in the barley field when it was harvested in autumn.

"This year's feng shui is really good. Little Paul sighed again.

"It's not just Feng Shui. Ente pointed to the top of his head: "This place is protected by the god of harvest, the wind and rain are good every year, under the divine power, pests and weeds will not hinder the growth of crops, and the land will always remain fertile, as long as people sow seeds every year, they will not have to care." ”

"The gods are really omnipotent. Isenas was also amazed by Ente's portrayal of the scene: "Although we had a bit of a holiday with the god of harvest in the Golden City, he was indeed a good god. ”

In amazement and exclamation, the adventure group walked through the long green wheat field.

As is customary, they registered their identities in the church, exchanged their tokens, and searched for a place to stay in the town.

However, when the sun began to set in the wheat fields, the party could not find a tavern where they could stay, and there were only a few hunters in the town who sold meat, except for the farmers who farmed the land.

"Well, it's a small town. Leo opened his senses, and after unwillingly sweeping around the small town a few times, he said helplessly: "In this case, we can only see if these peasant families are willing to entertain us." ”

Little Paul said: "There is nothing wrong with the peasant family, you will know when you see it, all the peasant family is hospitable." ”

"I hope so. ”

Leo stopped the carriage in front of a house that looked like he had some savings, and stepped forward and knocked on the small wooden door: "Is anyone there?"

The mistress of the house heard the voice, put down the meal she was busy with, wiped her hands, and came out of the kitchen, peeking out an eye through the crack in the door.

"Who are you?"

"We were travelers and we were passing through this place, and it was getting late at night, and we wanted to spend the night here. ”

"It's a guest. The woman smiled, opened the door, and beckoned.

"Come in, gentlemen, oh, and the girls, and this child. ”

Isenas looked at the cabin, the clean walls, a large table, a large bed, and nothing else.

"It's a coincidence that you're here, I'm preparing tonight's meal. The hostess invited the guests to sit down on the bed, brought a couple of cups and a kettle and put them on the table. "Drink whatever you want, my man and child are still in the field. ”

With that, the hostess went back to the kitchen and scooped out a large pot of rice from the rice bowl.

Everyone in the adventuring group sat on the bed next to each other and looked at each other.

It doesn't seem quite like what they imagined their life to be.

Leo stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Nana's heart jumped, she stood up and followed behind Leo, "Are you going to help in the kitchen?"

"Just take a look. ”

Nana hurriedly grabbed Leo's arm: "It's better for me to come." ”

Leo hesitated for a moment, and the cooking experience of a dozen or so failures in the past surfaced in front of his eyes again, so he agreed: "Okay. ”

In the kitchen, there was a large cauldron on the hostess's stove, the water in which was just boiling, and a basin of washed barley on the stove next to it.

The hostess scooped a bowl of water from the water tank, poured it into the freshly taken barley bowl, and prepared it for washing.

Other than that, there were only some potatoes, beans, the only meat on the stove, and only a few salted fish fillets that had been hanging for an unknown amount of time.

The hostess watched Leo and Nana walk in, hesitated, and took out a handful of sweet cherries from the cupboard.

"Here, try it, there are many such things in the wild, and you may not be uncommon. ”

Leo silently took the only string of colorful food from the hostess's hand.

Porridge, this kind of thing Leo didn't know how long he hadn't eaten, and during the journey, the adventure party had never eaten something that only poor people would eat.

Barley porridge is easy to make and easy to obtain, but it is not easy to digest, and in this era, whether it is white or black bread, carefully processed bread should be a staple food.

"No, I love it, I haven't eaten cherries in a year. Nana smiled sweetly, rolled up her sleeves, and picked up a few potatoes from the basket. "I'm here to help you, after all, we've caused you so much trouble. ”

"That's so much appreciated. The hostess smiled and handed Nana a knife. "Watch your hands, girl. ”

Nana took the knife and hit Leo: "Don't stand stupid, go do something, understand?"

Leo nodded, and walked out of the kitchen with a complicated mood.

He never imagined that the people in such a seemingly wealthy town would be so poor.
