It's late September, and the heat is gradually starting to subside, and the breeze in the air is even starting to mix with a hint of coolness.

On the trees beside the road, the originally thick green leaves also began to hang a trace of bright yellow, which was blown by the wind, and occasionally fell one or two pieces down.

However, in such a cool autumn weather, Ferriman still sweated profusely, soaking all the short shirts he was wearing, and it was very uncomfortable to lie on his body.

There is no way to do this, anyone who drags more than 200 catties of wheat from Ireland to Bonta City, and catches up with the road for nearly 30 kilometers in a row, I am afraid that they will sweat profusely.

In fact, he didn't need to make himself so hard, because since the day of the autumn harvest, the Maddy Chamber of Commerce, which specializes in grain business in Bonta City, has sent people to the village to buy, and most of the farmers in the village have sold almost all the wheat harvested to them.

In previous years, Feliman had done the same, but this year he chose to ship the harvested wheat to Bonta City to sell.

The reason is simple: this year he suddenly learned that the price per catty of a direct sale to a buyer in Irish Village would be 34 copper coins lower than that of a man sold in Bonta City.

If you count the more than 200 catties of wheat, this time it will be about 70 or 80 silver coins less.

Perhaps for the nobles in Bonta City, seventy or eighty silver coins were simply dropped on the ground and they didn't bother to look at them, even most of the villagers in Irish Village didn't care too much, so they almost all chose to sell the wheat directly to the Maddie Chamber of Commerce in the village.

However, for a poor family like Fairman, who had three children to be fed, seventy or eighty silver coins were a sum of money that could not be ignored.

The rest of the villagers felt that it was too much work, but Fellman insisted on dragging the wheat to Bonta City himself, just to be able to sell an extra seventy or eighty silver coins.

A cool breeze suddenly blew, making Fairman feel much cooler in an instant.

He put down the handlebars for a moment, picked up a towel and wiped off his sweat, ready to rest.

Anyway, the walls of Bangta City are already in sight, and there is still some time before noon, so there is no need to be too anxious.

After raising his head to wipe the sweat from his face, Fairman's gaze unconsciously fell to the distant city of Bonta, but suddenly he sighed.

Outside the four walls of Bonta City, there has always been a tall giant sign, not only the residents of Bonta City have long been familiar with it, but even ordinary farmers in villages outside the city like Fairman know it clearly, every time he comes to Bonta City because of something, Fellman can't help but look at the sign twice.

Not for anything else, just to see the beautiful and noble girl above.

This time, however, when Fellman habitually looked at the sign again, he noticed that the pattern on the sign had changed.

On the previous sign, in addition to the beautiful girl, there was also a pattern of the new flying brand magic fan.

When he first saw the painting on the sign, Fehlman was intrigued.

In addition to remembering the beautiful girl, he also remembered this new flying brand magic fan, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that as long as the family is a little more comfortable in the future, he must buy a new flying brand magic fan to bring back, so that the three children in the family can enjoy this cool breeze in the hot summer.

However, on the huge picture on the huge sign, the beautiful girl that Fellman knew was still there, but there were two other girls who were also young.

Although these two girls are not as beautiful as the girl, they are equally beautiful, and one is lively and bright, the other is quiet and beautiful, and they give people different feelings.

The picture shows three girls around a table, judging by the several plates of dishes on the table, they should be preparing to eat.

But in the middle of the table was a strange cylindrical iron vessel, in which a girl with a lively face and a round face was scooping out a spoonful of rice from the strange iron vessel, which was still bubbling with aroma.

"What is this?" said Feliman, looking at the picture in wonder, thinking about it, and guessing something. "The previous picture was an advertisement made by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for the Xinfei brand magic fan, so this picture should also be an advertisement? But what is this strange thing? Why is there cooked rice in it?"

There were two lines of words on the sign in addition to the pictures, but unfortunately Freeman didn't recognize the words, and finally, driven by curiosity, he pulled a middle-aged man who happened to pass by and seemed to have some knowledge.

"What's written on that?" the middle-aged man smiled as he glanced in the direction Ferriman was pointing. "Oh, that's it. Sue you, that's a new billboard that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce put on two days ago, and it's made for their Chamber of Commerce's new product, the Magic Rice Cooker. ”

"The magic rice cooker, is that the round thing on it, what is it for?" Ferriman was even more curious.

"Can't you understand this? Look, there's no rice in there, so this magic rice cooker can be used by people to cook rice. The middle-aged man pointed to the sign and read it word by word. "There are two rows of words on it, the first row is 'Xinfei brand magic rice cooker, let you enjoy the purest rice'. The row below is 'Healthy Living, Away from Firewood and Smoke'. Do you see what it means?"

Feliman shook his head honestly: "I don't understand." ”

The middle-aged man couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What's wrong with this? If you use this magic rice cooker, you don't need to use firewood to light the fire, you can cook the rice directly, not only is it faster than using firewood, but there is no smoke at all." How's it going?

"How can it be cooked without firewood?" said Feliman, stunned.

The middle-aged man laughed: "It seems that you still don't understand." But forget it, there's nothing to show you here, and you won't understand what I said. If you're really curious, buy one yourself and try it out. I sue you, I bought one for the first time, and now my wife cooks every day with much less trouble. ”

Seeing the middle-aged man laughing and leaving, Freeman shook his head helplessly, thinking that although this magic rice cooker was a good thing, he couldn't afford it, no matter how good it was, it was useless.

After saying this for a few moments on the side of the road, Ferriman felt that he had regained some strength, so he washed up the cart and continued to drag the cart full of wheat towards the city of Bonta.

Half an hour later, Feliman arrived at the Maddie Chamber of Commerce, easily followed the flow of people to find a place to buy wheat, and then sold it, finally buying two gold coins, thirty-seven silver coins, and seventy-six copper coins.

With this hard-won income, Feliman glanced at the restaurant next to the Maddy Chamber of Commerce, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, took out the baked cakes prepared by his wife in the morning from the cloth bag that he had carried in his arms for a long time, and prepared to solve his lunch with the cold boiled water provided by the Maddy Chamber of Commerce for free.

Just after taking a sip of water and about to take a bite of the baked cake, he suddenly heard a conversation between two people who were hurrying by the roadside.

"Hey, did you go to that big stomach king competition of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce?"

"I participated, but unfortunately I couldn't hold on after only eating three bowls. Ugh—"

"It's only three bowls, you're too bad, aren't you? I've eaten five bowls!"

"Cut, what about five bowls, the time I went, the guy who won the prize ate nine bowls!

"This guy can't be a pig, right?"

"Then where do I know ......?"

......

Feliman's ears moved, Big Stomach Match? What is this?

The curious Feliman pulled a guy in the Chamber of Commerce to inquire, and then he found out that this Big Stomach King Contest was a competition that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce had been holding since this morning.

There is no restriction on anyone who can participate in this competition, no matter who they want, they can participate as long as they want.

In the competition, all participants can eat the rice provided by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce at will, and the one who eats the most will win.

The all-day competition will culminate in a winner, who will not only be rewarded with a magic rice cooker, but also a special membership card from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, which will give you a certain discount on any items you purchase from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce in the future.

Feliman didn't care too much about the eventual reward, he cared about the fact that he could eat rice for free.

Looking down at the shriveled pancake in his hand, Freeman thought about it, decisively rewrapped the pancake and stuffed it into his arms, and then asked the guy about the direction of the competition held by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and strode away.
