Chapter 9: Granty

Earlier, Lormine noticed a detail - Granty's wallet seemed to be quite shriveled.

The twenty copper coins just now are especially economical, enough for a family of three to eat for two days, although it is far from a huge amount of money, but it is not a small amount of money that can be thrown away casually for her who is not rich.

"Okay, next time don't do this kind of bad thing, let me see you again, just hang you up and beat you. ”

Although Luo Ming held back a smile when he said this, the boy was obviously not so sharp, and he said yes, and then ran away in a hurry.

"You're a kind man. Granty could see that he was just joking.

"Oh, what do you think, what if he doesn't correct it and continues to steal?" asked Luo Ming curiously.

"Ah, it's okay...... It was his own choice, and he couldn't blame anyone if he was caught and cut off his hand. And I have been in Bijin City all this time, and if I see him stealing again, I will teach him a lesson myself.

But I see that his stealing methods are rusty, his expression is flustered, and he is mostly a novice, so give him a chance. Granty clenched his fists and said earnestly.

"Well, at first glance I thought you were extraordinary, and now it seems that you are...... Meet me, my name is Luo Ming, and I just came to Bijin City. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand.

Grant shook his hand without hesitation, raised his head, and said with a smile, "Grant Palatina, it's a pleasure to meet you, a traveler from afar. ”

Aya chewed on the name repeatedly, and although it felt a little familiar, she couldn't think of anything for a while.

“...... Do you have any friends or relatives here, or is there somewhere else to go?"

Looking at Luo Ming's slightly wary expression for a moment, Grant scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "It doesn't mean anything else, but if there is no place to go, Uncle Banner's inn is good."

The prices are fair, and they are much better than some unscrupulous shops, even if I can afford to live there. ”

Helpful...... This is the second time I've helped myself, right?

Although we have seen a lot of malice in this world, it is right to be careful, but there are always some good intentions that can be trusted.

Romann followed Grant and walked towards the inn she had spoken of.

To be honest, it looks a bit old at first glance. Although Luo Ming is not familiar with this aspect, he can also tell that the location of the hotel is a bit remote, and few people pass by.

Maybe that's why Uncle Banner lowered his prices to attract customers.

But it's nothing, I've experienced the wind and food, and it's a very good condition to have a room that can shelter from the wind and rain.

Grant walked in the door and greeted the owner and a few customers who were eating on the first floor - it seemed that her popularity was really good, and the other party basically responded enthusiastically.

Luo Ming then walked in and saw everyone smiling.

Although she is very beautiful, she can't make so many people really welcome her face alone.

"Uncle Banner, this Mr. Rollin didn't think of a hotel, so I'll introduce him here. Don't let him go out and complain in the future, saying I'm a liar!"

Granty's tone was too cheerful, and the shopkeeper uncle across from her accepted her statement and smiled at Luo Ming.

"I dare to say that among the eighteen inns in the entire Bijin City, it is the most affordable one for me, if you can find a more affordable one, I will invite you to drink for free until you get drunk!"

Luo Ming didn't know how to respond, only laughed awkwardly twice.

When the owner of Banner was looking for the key to the room, Grant suddenly remembered something, smashed Luo Ming with his elbow and said, "Ah, yes, it's all a little bit, you should be hungry too, right?"

"Hmm. "Last night and this morning combined to eat only one roast hare, in fact, two hours ago Luo Ming felt hunger, he endured it for a while, the hunger was numb, and now it is slowly recovering.

"Take it, although it is not as good as the chef, but the food here is acceptable. ”

As she spoke, she handed Luo Ming a wooden board with a knife carved with words.

"What do you mean to get by?" the shopkeeper pretended to be angry, "Little Granty, you eat so well every time, you can't even lick the plate, I want to put you here as a live advertisement all the time, why are you talking nonsense now?"

"Because it's a shame to waste food?" said Granty, tilting her head, "I used to try to make my own bread and bake it, but I still didn't waste a bite and ate it all." ”

Luo Ming looked at the wooden board in his hand, which was basically a menu for a small restaurant.

Being able to speak the lingua franca is the ability that he inexplicably has when he arrives in this world, and he is as fluent as his mother tongue, and he can translate all the proverbs and idioms in Chinese very fluently, but originally he couldn't read and write.

Fortunately, the lingua franca is also an alphabet, and it is not very difficult for him to memorize the 32 letters, as long as he can read the sound of each word, he can basically figure out what it means.

"Boss, I want this, plus this ......"

"Then I'll come to this. ”

Before Granty could finish speaking, Luo Ming smiled and put a silver coin on the counter: "I'm in for a treat." ”

The boss looked at him with strange eyes, and then turned into the back kitchen, Luo Ming didn't know why he had such a gaze, but he didn't care, and directly found a place to sit down. Granty also sat across from him with familiarity.

When the boss brought the lunch of the two with a strange face, Luo Ming finally understood what was going on with the strange look in his eyes just now.

Perhaps due to the widespread existence of magic and vindictiveness, the level of productivity in this world was not as backward as that of the European Middle Ages, and not yet to the point where the common people could not even afford to eat black bread mixed with wood chips and gravel.

But in such a comparison, the food in front of Grant is even more distressing.

Ordinary black bread, potato paste, two small pieces of radish, and a slice of jerky the size of two fingers are only a little better than those as thin as cicada's wings. The uncle also gave a bowl of hot water very intimately.

Well...... Maybe it's not hot water, it's some kind of soup, but it's not much as water.

Lormin turned her gaze to Granty, who didn't look reluctant or angry, and even closed her eyes and calmly recited a prayer - some worshippers did thank the gods before a meal, but it wasn't a formal ritual that was required to die.

It seems like she's really grateful for every meal.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Ming glanced at the plates in front of the other diners, most of them were not particularly rich, but they were half a grade better than the plate in front of Granty.

And the big meal I ordered before was a stark contrast.
