Chapter Eighty-Six: News of Soap
Ruya, who was dreaming of playing in the water with Avela, was woken up by a strong knock on the door, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was already dark, and he could faintly hear the noisy people coming and going on the street below. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Boss, boss, are you still sleeping?" Xiong Da's voice came from outside the door.
"Don't knock, go downstairs and wait" Lu Ya looked down at his pants, couldn't help but blush, and quickly found a new pair of pants to change into.
Half an hour later, in front of a wooden table on the first floor of the hotel, the three of Lu Ya were eating breakfast.
"The two of you will follow what I said in a while, go door to door and ask, these four gold coins are two of you, you can buy something if you want to eat, don't delay things, come back and report to me before the evening, do you know" After Xiong Da gave an example, now the money bag is held by Lu Ya himself, and after taking out 4 gold coins from it, Lu Ya gave Xiong Da Xiong Er and two people.
"Hehe, boss, don't worry, you can't forget it" The two grabbed the gold coin and smiled at Lu Yahan.
"Don't ink, hurry up and finish eating and go. ”
Xiong Daxiong and the two of them, after eating the food in their hands two or three times, got up and walked out of the hotel, and then walked separately in different directions. After a while, Ruya also finished eating, paid for the meal, and walked out of the hotel.
Walking on the streets of Boulder City, Lu Ya once again felt the strong beast style, when he entered the city yesterday, the sky was a little dark and he didn't see it carefully, and now Lu Ya can be regarded as seeing them really.
Most of the surrounding streets are two- or three-story buildings with civil structures or stone blocks, but this 'small' is for ordinary orcs, in Luya's opinion, these wooden buildings with more than three meters of door panels at every turn do not have a little bit of a small feeling, and those stone buildings that look like they are made of stones on the outside reflect the rugged character of orcs.
"Hey, find one" Lu Ya walked around for a while before he saw a wooden building with a sign of 'Beast Wind Chamber of Commerce', so he turned around and walked in.
The wooden building where this 'Beast Wind Chamber of Commerce' is located has a total of two floors, as soon as you enter the door, you will see a circle of counters neatly arranged, the counters and the walls behind the counters are full of all kinds of goods, and the three-meter-high roof is lit with oil lamps in the daytime, and the lights shine on some smooth surface goods with a slight glimmer, making the whole store more bright and atmospheric.
At this time, it was still early, and the clerks in this store were still sorting out the goods and cleaning.
"Sir, please, how can I help you?"
The orc female clerk on the counter near the door greeted Ruya warmly.
"I'll just see for myself, I don't have to bother you," Ruya said with a smile as he looked at the clerk.
"Okay" The clerk didn't say much, and took care of sorting out the things on the ancient platform.
The area of this shop is not less than 300 square meters, which is significantly larger than the small shops in the previous bazaar, and of course sells more kinds of goods. The Beast Wind Chamber of Commerce seems to be the main clothes and leather armor, Lu Ya found that most of the counters and walls are hung with all kinds of clothes made of animal skins and leather armor of different soft and hard, and Lu Ya also saw a small number of various weapons on the most corner of the counter, of which bronze is the majority, and there are one or two iron tools, but the quality is not very good at a glance, but in general it is much better than the worst iron in the market.
"Sir, do you need good ironware?" the clerk in charge of this row of counters noticed that Lu Ya had been looking at the ironware for a long time, so he stepped forward and asked.
"You mean there's something better," Ruya asked, looking up.
"Excuse me sir, we only have this kind of iron," the clerk replied with a smile.
"Doesn't it get any better than this?" asked Ruya with a regretful expression.
"Sir, our shopkeeper sells clothes and armor, and we don't have a supply of the best iron tools," although the clerk was still smiling, he probably found that Lu Ya was not here to buy clothes and armor, and his tone of voice was a little more stiff.
"Uh..." Ruya asked, rubbing his nose and continuing to lick his face.
"Do you have any soap for sale here?"
"Soap, what's that?" the clerk looked puzzled.
"It's a thing that cleans clothes and stains on the body, doesn't hurt the skin, and leaves a fragrance," Ruya gestured with his hand to the soap, and then looked at the clerk with a 'I don't know this' expression.
"Hey, haven't you heard of any soap?"
"Soap, I don't know"
"I've never heard of it, what is it for?"
Several clerks were talking about it, all saying that they had not heard of it, and then they all looked at Lu Ya, and it could be seen from their eyes that they were very suspicious that this mixed-race teenager was looking for them to be happy, but Lu Ya was completely unmoved, and walked around the counter again before leaving the store with a regretful expression. In the end, I didn't forget to say "I don't know what soap is, what kind of store is it", and as a result, the angry clerks wanted to rush out and fight with Luya.
In this way, Lu Ya walked in one direction, and when he saw the shop where he bought things on the road, he drilled in, and after earning enough white eyes, he came out and continued to visit another one, until the afternoon, last night, Lu Ya's publicity may have played a little effect, and occasionally when he visited one or two stores, the clerks seemed to have been asked about the soap, and they did not roll their eyes at Lu Ya, but they were even more confused about the origin of this kind of soap.
In the evening, Lu Ya, who had been walking for a day, returned to the hotel where he stayed last night with a dry mouth, and after pouring two pots of water in the hall alone, Xiong Da Xiong Er also rushed back one after another, and he also got used to two pots of water after sitting down, and then reported to Lu Ya about today's situation.
Just like Lu Ya, Xiong Da and Xiong Er also went door to door to ask people about the news of soap, and finally after statistics, Lu Ya felt that tomorrow and one day should be able to almost ask the shops in the entire Boulder City.
Lu Ya ordered a more sumptuous dinner to treat the three of them, and after they were full, they let Xiong Daxiong and the two of them go to the evening market to ask about soap, and he himself sent the two of them to the market and stood at the door and began to look around, he was waiting for someone, waiting for Avella, who had only met once last night, but although he was full of anticipation and not lacking patience, he still did not wait for the Avella who made him dream last night until the time when the two were separated yesterday.
"Hey~" Lu Ya sighed lightly, and he didn't enter the market again in his heart, so he squatted on the ground and waited until Xiong Da and the two came back, and then returned to the hotel a little dull all the way.
Ruya tossed and turned at night and didn't fall asleep for a long time, and all that flashed in his mind was Avella's shadow, and it wasn't until the second half of the night that he fell asleep in a daze. In the past, Lu Ya enlisted in the army as an adult, and after he was discharged from the army, he stayed at home except for work, and he never fell in love at all, and this feeling of first love, which was similar to love at first sight, made him both enjoy and torture.
In the dream, Ruya dreamed of Avella again, but this time Avella kept asking Ruya in her dream, 'What do you like about me'・・・・・' and 'What do you like about me', but Ruya couldn't answer, he could only keep silently saying 'I don't know' and 'I don't know'...
Until the next morning, Lu Ya, who opened two dark circles under his eyes, got up and said "I don't know", shook his head vigorously and then washed his face with cold water, Lu Ya then walked downstairs, and when Xiong Daxiong and Xiong saw Lu Ya's dark circles during the meal, they wanted to ask several times, but they were glared back by Lu Ya at a glance.
After the meal, the three of them continued to act separately, continuing to go in and out of the shops, today's situation was obviously different from yesterday, most of the shops were no longer at a loss when answering Lu Ya's question, and they didn't know anything about soap. The clerks who were questioned generally first politely told them about the characteristics of the soap and then asked them if it was this kind of thing, and after receiving a positive answer, they would be very sorry to say no, and some of them would ask if they knew of a store that sold this kind of soap.
Of course, a small number of shops are also very impatient, saying that they have never heard of such a thing, and that it is purely deceptive...
In general, until the evening when the three of Lu Ya gathered together again, the news about soap was almost circulating in the business community of the entire Boulder City, and the first thing the owners and proprietors of those shops said when they met was, "Do you know who sells the soap", of course, they will definitely not get any answers.
Many people began to think that this was a fake news, and it was deliberately promoted by whom and for what reason, but this statement was immediately broken.
Because some merchants have inquired clearly and confirmed that soap did appear in the evening market the night before, and there have been people who have received one or two pieces at a high price, and it is rumored that the effect is indeed as rumored, there is no adulteration, which not only makes all the merchants look forward to it, because according to the news that night, the stall owner who sells soap wants to say that he will sell soap to their shops.
However, it has been two days since there has been no news of any store receiving this kind of soap, so it also makes the magic of soap even more mysterious.
And the other two clues, the tribal bazaar and the Blackstone tribe, although they are also remembered, but the news given by this tribal bazaar is only west of Boulder City, which is too general to find, and the other clue points out that the Blackstone tribe also made them ask everyone and no one has heard of such a tribe.
Just when these people were full of anticipation, the three of Lu Ya came to the dinner market again after dinner, and the two of them went in to act, and Lu Ya himself stood again in the place where he and Avella were separated the night before.
"She won't remember me," Ruya murmured, standing still.
