Chapter 107: Phantom of the Empire
In fact, Huo Chi smelled the aroma emanating from this shop when he was far away, which was the mixed aroma that could be smelled when visiting a spice shop in the original world, but the mixed smell here was very light, and the varieties of spices were much rarer.
But this still surprised Huo Chi, after all, in today's world, most people don't have enough to eat, and growing spices has become a very luxury.
There are several spices on sale in the Spice Empire: chili peppers, black pepper, star anise, and other spices that were very common in the original world, all of which are carefully packed in glass jars for fear of losing the taste.
The price of spices here is very expensive, a chili pepper costs 200, 1 black pepper 50, and 100 star anise to give a petal! Huo Chi rubbed his eyes and gave up the idea of buying spices, although he really wanted to sell some spices, but the price was too expensive.
"Daddy!" the little fox Coco ran to the counter, where there was a middle-aged man of medium stature, who, like Coco, was also a humanoid subhuman, but the pair of fox ears on his head didn't look as cute as Coco at all, but rather very funny.
The man saw Coco running over, walked out from behind the counter, picked up Coco, and his big fluffy red tail swung from behind him, gently curling the little fox.
"Coco, you're running around again! Didn't I tell you you're going to get lost here!" the man caressed Coco's hair lovingly.
Coco said: "It was the big brother who sent me back, and they saved Coco just now, that butcher is so terrible." ”
The man looked at a small section of sausage in Coco's hand and understood what was going on, he came to Huo Chi with Coco in his arms, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you to a few people for rescuing Coco, I am very grateful." ”
He straightened up, hugged Coco and returned to the counter. Huo Chi only felt that although this person was thanking everyone, his attitude was very cold, as if the thanks just now were just for show.
"You're welcome, uh, we're taking our leave. Fu Ze naturally understands the thoughts of the subhumans, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the human race, and the long-term persecution of the subhumans by the human race has led to some subhumans not wanting to deal with people at all.
Huo Chi waved his hand at the little fox, and was about to leave with everyone, but the little fox said loudly: "Brother Huo Chi, my name is Hu Keke, don't forget it." ”
"Coco!" the man tried to stop Coco, but the little girl was quick to say her name.
Huo Chi turned around and nodded, and then followed everyone out of the store.
The man reprimanded Coco in a low voice: "Coco! I've told you many times that you don't have anything to do with human beings, and you still tell them your name, why are you so unbelievable! It seems that you have to go back to Yaxin!
Coco was reprimanded by her father, her little mouth pursed, and she stopped talking. At this moment, the curtain at the back of the shop opened, and a human girl walked out, she walked to the door of the store, and stood behind the pillar to look at the snow leopards that were fading away.
If Su Qingqing and Fu Ze could turn around, they would find that Su Qingyu, who had been looking for several months, was actually close to them!
"Miss Qingyu, you better go inside. The subhuman man said to her very politely.
Su Qingyu nodded, took a deep look at the snow leopard team in the distance, and then turned around and walked back into the room.
The man looked out of the street, hugged Xiao Coco, followed behind Su Qingyu, and also entered the house.
There were still a few subhumans sitting in the inner room of the Spice Empire, and one of the fox-shaped subhumans saw Su Qingyu walk in, so he got up and said, "What's the matter?"
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little stuffy in the house, and I just want to go out to breathe." ”
The fox-shaped subhuman: "It's better to bear with it now, and when you get out of Huaxia, you can move around at will." ”
He said to Coco's father, "Your spice cart will leave tomorrow, right? ”
Coco's father said, "Tomorrow morning, I will leave on time, but are you really sure to let Miss Qingyu take my car?"
The fox-shaped subhuman nodded and said, "The green jade girl is now being searched by the military department, and there are rewards for her disappearance at various outposts, and it is safest to take your car now." ”
Coco's father said: "Safety is safety, but it's summer, and there will be a queue when crossing the border, and it will take more than an hour to be optimistic, can she stay under the chair for so long?"
Fox-shaped subhuman: "No problem, don't worry, when will I make you sad." ”
Coco's father nodded when he heard this, "Okay, by the way, I still have something to ask you, so let's take it as a reward for this matter." ”
Fox-shaped subhuman: "Say it." ”
Coco's father put Coco down and said, "Please also ask my brother to help me bring Coco back to Yaxin, she is always under a bad influence here, so it's better to go back." ”
Coco was stunned when she heard this, she quickly hugged her father and said, "No!
Coco's father said, "You have to go back! This matter is not negotiable! If you stay here any longer, what other Asian boy will take a fancy to you?"
Coco stopped talking when she heard this, but she was thinking in her heart, Coco doesn't want any subhuman boy, Coco is still very young, and Coco likes humans!
But she only dared to think about it in her heart, if she said it, her father would probably be furious, and subhumans and humans basically do not intermarry! This is taboo for both humans and subhumans.
Huo Chi and Fu Ze returned the little fox Coco and began to visit the black market, the black market exudes a huge allure for everyone who comes here, you can buy almost anything you want here, as long as you can afford it.
"Huo Chi, your body doesn't matter, right?" The cold-faced man Qin Lang was a little worried about him when he saw Huo Chi happily shopping in the black market with everyone.
Huo Chi had basically recovered at this time, so he naturally didn't think there was anything, but he also knew that the recovery speed of ordinary people was definitely not so fast, so he said: "It's okay, I'll be careful." ”
Qin Lang said: "You stand between us, don't be touched by others again, you were too impulsive when you caught that little fox just now, in case the Naya people resisted, it would be broken if you touched the ribs again." ”
Qin Lang's words made Huo Chi feel warm in his heart, and since he was visiting the black market just now, Su Qingqing had actually been pulling him, for fear that someone would touch him.
Next, after they walked around for less than half an hour, Xiao Jian bought a handmade dagger, and Qin Lang bought a notebook of basically different colors, although Fu Ze picked the door as always, he still bought a few shoelaces, and the happiest was Su Qingqing, she bought a pair of pajamas full of cartoon chicks!
