560 Books Insect Bones and Spider Birds
Zhou Shu, who was going to experience the customs and customs in the new world, was inexplicably taken by a professional drunkard to a wine tasting place that seemed to be a bit forced, and it was not easy to walk, so he couldn't beat someone and run away again, right?
Faced with this situation, Ban Shi'er apologized to everyone with a guilty face, the drunkard was found by her, and it was self-defeating.
"It's okay, it's good. Zhou Shu took off the translator and whispered: "Anyway, we are just going to go around casually this time, just take it as a tour, and go back when we have had enough." ”
The sick princess is still busy with the aftermath of the Knight King's death on the side of the White Moon Kingdom, including her coronation. The country that was still in chaos, with monsters, the country of the forest, the lantern region, and the lords and prime ministers of various places, suddenly stabilized because of the death of the king.
At the moment, no one can explain why it suddenly got such a steady dìng. The sick princess was puzzled, and could only decide that there was a hidden clue that she could not find.
Zhou Shu was surrounded as a VIP in the winemaker school. As a winemaker in a port city, I attach great importance to the taste of foreigners. If you can make sake that is well received by overseas peoples, and if it is pulled away by their big boats, the benefits of this income and reputation are very considerable.
Because this school is a relatively hidden wine tasting place, it is difficult for ordinary foreigners to recruit them, and Zhou Shu's storage zài is extremely rare.
In a large classroom-like room, the winemakers gather here. A skinny, white-bearded old man in a formal suit carried a small wooden barrel and quietly visited the wooden table in front of him.
The formal wear in this country is also relatively simple, and there is nothing new in the style, and there is already a little rudimentary form of a suit. The reason why Zhou Shu can see that this is a formal suit is mainly because it seems to be a little too hot to wear this thing in this climate.
At this point, all the trainees focused their attention on one female trainee. The woman didn't do anything to attract others, she just sat there. Generally speaking, there are only two possibilities for a woman to be so high-profile in such a situation. Either she's some great guy, or she's got amazing looks.
Master Zhou is for this kind of woman with low summoning points. Basically, I don't have any intention of interacting with it. It's not that he looks down on people who don't have combat effectiveness, mainly because Zhou Shu can use summons to satisfy his evil thoughts that he can't get rid of as a man at any time.
Just when he thought that the behavior of everyone watching cute girls together would continue for a while, the old man in formal clothes who was accompanied by the baby-faced boy on the stage coughed lightly, and everyone was quiet. In fact, everyone has been quite quiet, and after this reminder, even Zhou Shu unconsciously sat upright on the seat at the back of the room.
The old man seemed to be a teacher, and when he saw the young people turn their attention to their side, he patted the small wine barrel in his hand and announced to everyone. "Today, we are very honored to find a few friends from overseas to taste the barrel of wine that I have at hand. He said. Nodding in the direction of Zhou Shu, the students looked into the corner, as if they had just realized that there were guests in the room.
"Hello strangers. The old man nodded in the direction of Zhou Shu, and several girls also nodded.
The group of winemakers after discovering that there were guests. He found that all of the guests were beautiful women, except for a tall man in a cloak, and their expressions became quite soft, and they looked very kind.
Zhou Shu bet that there would probably be a few people who would come over to talk to the Gray Witch, Nati and Ban Shi'er. He could read the men's expressions, their faces as if they were written, and their thoughts were already expressed.
Because of the discovery of a beautiful girl, the first time in the house was a little ridiculed.
Zhou Shu paid attention to the expression of the beautiful female winemaker, and found that she had no reaction to the three girls beside her. As if I didn't see them.
Doesn't it mean that beautiful women will compare when they see their kind?
Master Zhou didn't see that this woman was comparing, of course, this may just be because she hides it well, or it may be because she is more unconventional. At least the three around him are quite unconventional.
The four of them thought that they would soon get drunk, and then they would leave here after chatting about their feelings, but the old man was obviously not prepared to do the work so happily.
He waved his hand in the direction of the doorway and ordered, "You." It's time to come in. Then a little girl walked in.
"Wow. Zhou Shu couldn't help but admire after seeing this girl, this guy is also very beautiful, but this is not the point of his sigh. He sighed at the girl's dress, it was the first time he had seen anyone in this world wearing patched clothes. The Lynx sisters were also poor before. But people don't bother to make up for their rags, and it is estimated that the wild animal-like sister can't do needlework.
The Baiyue country has abundant materials and does not have to worry about food and clothing, obviously the people of this western country are not so lucky, and the children of poor families still have to wear patched clothes.
In Zhou Shu's impression, the word 'patch' is matched with computer software, and now I suddenly see a girl at home, wearing a coarse cloth dress, and even the skirt is not put away with threads, just scattered, as if a lot of fabric will be wasted if it is closed.
Although the costumes in this country are very simple, minimalist, and solid-colored, the dress of the girl here has been washed all over the place, and some of the colors have faded. It's such a garment, with many patches and many unpatched rips. It looks like the openings are all washed.
Zhou Shu felt that if this girl was willing to take off her clothes and let herself wash them, she would have to wash the clothes into rags in minutes with her own strength.
The old man on the stage coughed again as the girl walked up to him, drawing the attention of the male brewers away from the girl again.
The old man pushed the patch girl in front of him, as if he wanted to announce something about her. Just when Zhou Shu was trying to stare at the girl, trying to see if she was wearing underwear under her clothes, the old man said to the apprentice who was working as a winemaker: "We all know the family background of the spider bird, it's very bad. Although you may only have been classmates for two quarters, I still hope you can help her. ”
Donation?!
Zhou Shu was originally frightened by the girl's name, Spider Bird. There seems to be a woman named Worm Bone before. He didn't know what the world's conventions for naming children looked like, but the two names were a little too bizarre.
Before he could continue savoring the translated name of the spider, his old man was frightened by what was happening in front of him.
Take other people's girls in front of your classmates. It's cruel to ask these people to donate money to her. People who have had this kind of experience of being donated will probably have low self-esteem for the rest of their lives.
Low self-esteem is a very scary trait that has a very powerful impact on life. Although this effect is not necessarily negative, people with low self-esteem are always miserable.
Zhou Shu looked at the girl with a strange name called Spider Bird, her hair was very short and looked messy, as if she had given herself a haircut, which was very likely. Although the child was smiling on his face, it was obviously squeezed out.
It didn't take into account the spider's feelings at all. The old man who initiated the donation continued to persuade him.
"Donating to classmates is a very personal matter, and I will not force everyone. If you have plenty of money, you will be able to throw your money in this barrel in a moment. ”
The old man took out a small empty wine barrel from the audience and continued: "Although I will not break you, I still have something to say. Your children should save money for a lunch. Saving a little money to go to those taverns outside for a bad drink can help Spiderbird-san a lot, and she will thank you from the bottom of her heart. ”
After saying that, the old man took out a small silver coin from his pocket and threw it into the bucket.
Zhou Shu felt that the sound of the silver coin was quite uncrisp, probably because the wine barrel was made of cork, or maybe it was because he saw the girl who was publicly humiliated with some pitiful expressions. Resulting from compassion.
The spider looked strong, and after the old man threw the coin, she bowed deeply and thanked him. A few of the students then pinched the coin and threw it into the bucket, and the spider bird responded with gratitude for each sound of the coin.
"It's like begging. Ban Shi'er sighed and shook her head, she really couldn't stand it.
The attitude of the Gray Witch and Zhou Shu is the same, but because they carry a translator. It's not good to complain casually. As for Nati, she was probably an idiot of the same level as the old man, and she didn't see anything bad about this donation. If she had the money, she would probably go up and give it too.
After all the brewers who wanted to give money returned to their seats, Zhou Shu casually took out a coin he had obtained from the slave traders. Throw it into the barrel with a shot. Hit the red heart and make a bang.
His behavior was very impolite, not only the winemakers, but even Nati and Ban Shi'er looked at Zhou Shu for a while.
"What are you doing?" Nattie looked upset, "If you want to help that girl, can't you just go to the front?"
The spider didn't get much money in that small barrel, five silver coins, and the others were copper coins. For Zhou Shu, who gave the silver coin, she also bowed deeply to the corner of the room.
Zhou Shu's approach seemed to anger some people, and several winemaker apprentices got up from their seats with indignant expressions on their faces, staring at Zhou Shu.
"Foreigner, what are you doing here?"
"Are you humiliating the spider?"
Zhou Shu shrugged, "I'm sorry, I'm a foreigner, I don't understand what you're saying." ”
Those winemaker students were so angry when they heard this, and they said in their hearts, you guys who don't speak with any accent, what are you pretending to be a foreigner with me here?
The spider bird in question looked panicked at this time, and he didn't have the ability to act if he wanted to persuade him, but he just stood beside the old man in formal clothes and didn't know what to do.
"Less nonsense!" Several students approached Zhou Shu's side, surrounded him and the three girls, and the person in the lead shouted in a tough tone, "Apologize to the spider bird." ”
"Apologize? Why should I apologize?"
Zhou Shu is still pretending to be garlic there, and he doesn't bird these guys at all. The girl couldn't understand what this neuropathy wanted to do, so she honestly sat and watched the situation.
These students are just a little angry, and it is foreigners who are causing trouble, so they will come to Xingshi to ask for the guilt. It's just a very small matter, a matter of attitude, and a single apology can make these people go back satisfied.
Zhou Shu had no intention of admitting his mistake at all, and asked rhetorically, "I probably didn't understand what you said." Aren't you just insulting this girl called a spider in public? I'm just pandering to you. Doing the same thing as you, why are you angry?"
Normally, Master Zhou would not jump like this, he has always been a person who is unwilling to be in the limelight and unwilling to be noticed. He didn't have any special ideas this time. I just want to make a little fuss, let the old man know that his behavior is very problematic, and stop doing something like this without going out of his head.
He's meddling in this way, and the troubles of the past have suddenly become less, and he is very unaccustomed to starting to look for trouble.
"What did you say, we humiliated the spiders?"
"Tell me how we humiliated her!?"
Zhou Shu's purpose of making such a small deal has been achieved, and the old man in the formal suit looked at the few dollars in the bucket and somewhat realized that there was something wrong with his approach. Looking at the girl Spider again, he really wanted to help. However, the approach is really not well considered. He is a very good empathetic person, and after a little thought, he sighs at his recklessness.
He wanted to cough again to calm the senseless anger of his fellow apprentices, but before he could make a sound, there was another 'thump'. A silver coin is thrown at the keg. But it's a pity that this money didn't hit like Zhou Shu's one, but rolled on the wooden table for a while and stuck into the gap of the wooden bar.
"I didn't get in, it's so hard. ”
A crisp female voice sounded, the female winemaker who had been in the spotlight before, the one with a ponytail. A girl with a beautiful forehead is grabbing a second silver coin and aiming at the keg.
Another throw, but it still didn't go in, and the silver coin fell to the ground and rolled into the corner.
This behavior caught the attention of a large group of winemaker trainees, who couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Miss Wormbone, what are you doing?!!!! one of the winemaker students was surprised, "why are you doing such a thing?"
"What am I?" The woman called Worm Bone tilted her head deliberately. A puzzled expression was revealed.
When Zhou Shu heard this name on the side, he also remembered the local beauty in the mouth of the drunkard who made him proud.
The winemaker students had mixed feelings at this time, they just wanted to make these vulgar and rude foreigners polite, but they didn't expect that Miss Worm Bone, who was loved by all the men in the city, would do the same. "Miss Wormbone, why are you humiliating the spider like this?"
"Did I humiliate her?" said Wormbone shrugged. "I'm just donating money, and I've given two silver coins, more than all of you, how can this be humiliating?"
"But Miss Worm Bone, even if it is a good deed, you have to pay attention to the way!!"
Wormbone shrugged again, "You're right, but I haven't seen you 'particular way'?" As she said this, she looked at Zhou Shu, whose face was completely concealed in a cloak, and asked, "How did you vote so accurately, and why couldn't I vote?"
Master Zhou swept this beautiful woman from behind the cloak and felt that she was really an interesting person. In the face of questions, he casually took out some gold nuggets, and then shot them one after another, hitting them all. After having the strength of the internal organs, the control of the limbs will be greatly enhanced, and it is very simple to do this kind of technical work.
After showing off his hollow basket skills, his old man showed the insect bone, "See, this thing is talented, miss, you are still a little behind." ”
A group of winemaker trainees didn't want to talk much now, and they just seemed to see that the foreigner threw the big gold nugget like a stone.
Worm Bone didn't seem to be satisfied with Zhou Shu's answer, and said with a smile: "No, I think it's easier for you to hit what you voted." You can give me a few to give it a try, maybe I'm talented too. ”
Zhou Shu had never seen anyone ask him for money like this, but for the sake of being cute enough, he also grabbed a large handful of gold from his pocket, stuffed it into a cloth bag and threw it to the insect bones.
After receiving the worm bone, his hands sank, and he almost let the bag hit the ground. The quality of the gold is quite large, and it is remarkable that she can catch it as an ordinary woman.
Next, there was her worm bone's shooting failure show, and a bag of gold was smashed everywhere by her, but she couldn't throw it into the small wine barrel. Her gold nuggets had hit the wine barrel a few times, but Zhou Shu had already put enough gold nuggets in it, and the weight was so large that it was not knocked down.
The winemakers will finally understand that this is not the right time to speak. Several of them thought about what Worm Bone had just said, and realized that their actions were wrong, so they sat back in their seats. The others did the same, and soon the room fell silent again, except for the sound of worm bones shooting.
In the end, Zhou Shu and his party still couldn't drink the wine here. After Zhou Shu lost all his gold in the worm bones, he lied that something was wrong and left. He was afraid of being targeted by the thugs or something, and the things that attracted other people's attention to the fact that the disclosure of money and wealth had happened before, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.
The old man in formal clothes and the baby-faced young man did not keep it, and they did not dare to persuade this rich man who treated the money as a clod of soil to stay, for fear of delaying the business of others.
But the worm bone said to Zhou Shu, "You gave me so much money, according to the rules, I should commit to you for a few nights." ”
Zhou Shu saw that this woman was really a stumbling woman, and swept away her covetousness, and said, 'Save it until next time', and then casually instructed: "That girl with a patch is afraid that she will not be blessed to consume so much money, you can help her, is it okay?"
Worm Bone nodded, took down this laborious thing, and then said goodbye to Zhou Shu, the cloak man, with a very charming smile.
