At dusk, it is the time for the miners in the mining area to go home from work.

There are almost no night shifts in the southeast mining area, and these mines are like the last remaining bits of toothpaste, and they may be dug up one day. The major miners are gradually less concerned about the management here, and if they can dig for one more day, they will earn one more day.

An adult strong miner toils for a day to dig up ore and hand it over to the minions of the big mine owner, and although as immigrants, these miners sell their labor at a much lower price than the people of Mingdu, and have to pay a lot of commission, but still leave a considerable income.

The soul guide is the foundation of the Sun and Moon Empire, and as a part of the source of the soul guide industry chain, the treatment of the miner profession is correspondingly higher than that of other civilian professions, which is enough to attract immigrants from foreign lands to gather here.

This kind of income is not very attractive to the people of Mingdu, most of whom look down on this long-dilapidated mining area, and go to other large mining areas to do the same work and get more wages than here. Over time, the main miners in the southeast mining area became immigrants from Xingluo and Heavenly Soul.

Their relatives gathered around the mining area, forming an immigrant community.

At this moment, at the intersection of one of the few wide streets and another side road in this residential area, a small barbecue stand has been erected.

Huo Yuhao stood in front of a long grill, his hands on the grill slowly, but he turned the wooden skewers on the grill very rhythmically, and each wooden skewer was a fatty herring that had been processed.

Each herring has small arms, and the skin is drizzled with a thick layer of red sauce, giving it a dark brown color, but it is appetizing.

The rich aroma is slowly wafting away with the breeze under the charcoal fire.

Huo Yuhao was wearing sunglasses and grilling fish leisurely, next to him was Tianmeng, who was staring at him with bright eyes, while Huo Qiu'er and the Second Emperor of Ice and Snow were very reserved.

Huo Qiu'er frowned and carefully observed his movements and techniques, with a puzzled look on her face.

Soon, the first batch of fish was grilled, and before Huo Yuhao could open his mouth, Tianmeng couldn't wait to grab one and bite it.

"Delicious! Today's grilled fish is not the same taste. ”

The rich aroma bursts from the meat covered in a thick sauce, and the tenmu of a veteran grilled fish critic suddenly notices the difference.

"Today's grilled fish is noticeably a little more fragrant than usual. Bingbing, Sister Xue'er, Xiaoba, you can also try it. ”

Octagon was silent for a moment and declined: "I can't eat it." ”

After the Ice Emperor tasted it, he nodded slightly: "It's really different, the ingredients are a little too much, so they are salty, and the heat is more fierce than usual." ”

Emperor Xue couldn't help but sigh: "Speaking of which, Yu Hao hasn't baked anything himself for a long time." ”

This period of time seems to be one thing after another, I don't know when it started, Huo Yuhao didn't have a peaceful time to barbecue peacefully.

The rich fragrance also attracted Huo Qiu'er, she took one and took a bite lightly, savoring it, wanting to explore what the mystery was.

Although she received Huo Yuhao's memories and was no stranger to her craftsmanship, after getting along for so many days, it seemed that this was the first time she had tasted the freshly baked grilled fish under Huo Yuhao's hands.

"What went wrong?" Huo Qiu'er muttered to herself in her heart.

has the same memories as the other party, but under the same steps, she can't bake the same taste as Huo Yuhao.

The Ice Emperor elegantly held the grilled fish that he had only tasted and asked, "Yu Hao, has it been too long since you roasted it, and even your style has changed?" ”

"How is that possible? What did you take me for? ”

Huo Yuhao didn't stop what he was doing, and started the next round of grilled fish.

"Today's target customers are mainly middle-aged miners, who must want to eat something heavy oil and salt after digging for a day, and I am accurately cutting into the customer's pain points."

During the conversation, several figures walked towards Huo Yuhao's barbecue stall together.

He was already located at the intersection of the road, and coupled with the enticing fragrance, it naturally attracted the attention of those residents.

For now, however, these residents are not disgraced miners, but women.

Huo Qiu'er said leisurely: "How do I think your target customers are middle-aged and elderly women? ”

A middle-aged woman holding a child stepped forward and asked in surprise: "Young man, little girl, you look very raw, where did you come from?" ”

She also has a distinct Xingluo accent.

Huo Yuhao replied with a smile: "Auntie, I heard that the income of the miners of the Sun Moon Empire is good, so I came to the mining area to beg for a living. ”

Originally, he didn't have a distinct accent, but now he had a hint of it on his own.

"You're also from Xingluo?" The women couldn't help but be overjoyed.

They couldn't see the fluctuation of Huo Yuhao's soul power, so they naturally regarded him as a member of the Star Luo immigrants.

A woman in her fifties behaved enthusiastically and asked, "Young man, how did you come to the Sun and Moon Empire?" ”

Huo Yuhao replied naturally: "We originally worked in a small caravan, and we felt that the treatment in Sun and Moon was better than that of Xingluo, so we stayed in Mingdu. Auntie, I think there are all Xingluo and Heavenly Soul people here, how can there be so many Xingluo people? ”

He asked curiously.

The arrival of a stranger stimulated the desire of these middle-aged and elderly women to communicate, and they didn't care about barbecue, so they talked nonsense.

The woman in her fifties shook her head and sighed: "In the past few years, most of them have taken the initiative to beg for a living like you, mining here in Mingdu, some diligent men can dig up a golden soul coin in a day." ”

"But there are also many people like me who have to stay here because of the war between the Sun and Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire."

This reason was somewhat unexpected by Huo Yuhao, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, can you elaborate?" ”

The middle-aged woman smiled: "My family and I live on the border between the two countries, the Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire have always fought on the border, I remember that there was a very fierce fight at that time, and they all hit near our village, and we had to flee into the Mingdou Mountain Range." When we got ready, we came out and found that we had entered the territory of the Sun and Moon Empire. ”

Huo Yuhao asked: "Then aunt, how long have you lived in the Sun and Moon Empire?" How did you come to Mingdu? ”

"It's been a long time, I've forgotten it, but it's been at least thirty-four years." The middle-aged woman smiled, "Young man, you don't know how much the people of the Sun and Moon Empire reject us, and they want to make things difficult for us everywhere. As soon as I heard our Xingluo accent, even the vegetable seller charged us a lot more. ”

"Ordinary people like us can only live a slightly decent life by working hard like mining. Fortunately, my family has the strength to dig up several Silver Soul coins in a day. ”

"We went to the mine owner everywhere to mine, but ordinary people like us can only dig some poor mines that the soul master can't look down on at all, about twenty years ago, after the last mine was closed, we came to this mining area in Mingdu."

Faced with a young man who had just arrived from her hometown, she showed a strong desire to talk.

Huo Yuhao listened carefully to the middle-aged woman's story, full of emotion.

Huo Qiu'er asked, "You have left your hometown and come here, have you ever thought about going home?" ”

The middle-aged woman did not feel the slightest sadness on this topic, but said very optimistically: "What do you miss, my hometown has long been destroyed." ”

"Besides, my years in the Sun and Moon Empire are much longer than those of Xingluo, and I live well here, and the Xingluo Empire has no mining, so how many copper soul coins can I earn when I go back?"

When Huo Yuhao heard this, he fell silent.

In fact, many civilians like the middle-aged woman in front of them do not have a deep sense of family and country, where life is good and they make more money, they naturally feel that it is good.

But do you want to blame them for that? And who made them homeless?

The smile on the face of the middle-aged woman was quite proud, in her eyes, she and her husband, who were born in commoners, completed an insignificant but great class leap through mining, which was a very boastful thing.

However, she was smiling proudly, and another woman next to her poured a basin of cold water: "Alas, I don't know how long this mining area can be dug up, I heard that the southeast mining area is not a few years of good stones to dig." Then it's time to find the next mine. ”

"You crow's mouth, can you say something good?" Her lament immediately aroused the complaints of other women.

The middle-aged woman looked at Huo Yuhao again and persuaded, "Young man, you should go to other mining areas at a young age." ”

Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Auntie, you misunderstood, I didn't come here to mine, I came to provide supporting services." ”

"You think, a miner like your lover, after a day of mining, must be hungry, and will definitely want to eat a delicious barbecue."

As he spoke, he flipped the grilled fish in his hand.

The middle-aged woman asked curiously, "Young man, how do you sell this grilled fish?" ”

Huo Yuhao replied with a smile: "Two copper soul coins." ”

"So cheap?"

Not only those middle-aged women, but even Tianmeng, who was eating grilled fish next to them, was shocked.

"Yuhao, you didn't set the wrong price......

"What are you doing?" Huo Qiu'er looked at him suspiciously.

She clearly remembered that in Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao sold five copper soul coins each.

Huo Yuhao said indifferently: "I'm not interested in making poor people's money. ”

The middle-aged woman said in disbelief: "Little ...... Young man, we need at least five Copper Soul Coins to buy such a big fish in the mining area, and you only sell two Copper Soul Coins, which is ......"

Huo Yuhao interrupted her with a smile: "Auntie, my fish is purchased in bulk from the market in Mingdu, and it only costs one copper soul coin for a piece, which is very cheap." ”

"How did you get such cheap fish, young man?"

The middle-aged woman looked surprised, but she knew that as soon as their Xingluo accent was spoken, the small traders in Mingdu would sneer and immediately sit on the ground and raise the price, it would be impossible to buy such cheap fish.

At this moment, several rough voices floated from a distance.

"What smells so good? Damn, I'm hungry for Lao Tzu. ”

The few people who opened the mouth were dirty, and it was obvious that they were also a group of miners.

At the end of a day's hard work, several black-faced men were already hungry, and now they smelled such a strange fragrance, and one by one their stomachs were stirred, and their appetites were greatly increased.

A slightly older miner dragged his tired body forward, hairless and only a haggy black-gray beard.

"Wife, why are you here?" He walked up to the middle-aged woman and handed over three silver soul coins, "I only dug up three silver coins today." ”

The older miner was the husband of the middle-aged woman.

He beat his waist and said in a deep voice: "My old waist can still hold up, but I don't know how many years this mine can dig and how much money I can save." ”

Huo Yuhao carefully observed the miner, he was naked, revealing a dust-covered bronzed skin and a lean and strong physique, but his belly was bulging out, which looked a little incongruous.

He has several levels of soul power on his body, and although he is unkempt, he can be seen at a glance that he is a good hand at manual work.

"Three silver is not a lot." The middle-aged woman took the dusty silver soul coin with some distress and carefully put it away.

Only then did the older miner turn his gaze to Huo Yuhao, staring at the grilled fish in front of him with his eyes, and swallowed his saliva: "Little brother, how did you sell this fish?" ”

"Two Bronze Soul Coins."

Miners are a little unconvinced: "This ......"

The middle-aged woman beside him hurriedly handed over a silver soul coin: "Young man, bring us five." ”

"Thank you for your patronage." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and said to the side, "Tianmeng, collect money." ”

Tianmeng blinked his eyes before he reacted, and happily took the somewhat dirty Silver Soul Coin.

"Okay~"

Five fragrant grilled fish were handed to the miner and his co-workers, and he naturally couldn't eat the five large grilled fish alone.

With the first person to buy, someone follows.

"Bring me two too."

"Give me ...... too"

"Haha, it's been a long time since I've eaten so cool." A group of miners feasted on the hunger in their stomachs.

After eating two grilled fish, the older miner seemed much more energetic and asked Huo Yuhao, "Little brother, are you a newcomer?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong, uncle?" Huo Yuhao coped while grilling the fish.

"You can't sell your stuff so cheaply."

Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I have my own channels, even if I sell two copper soul coins, I can make a profit, it's a big deal." ”

"Little brother, I'm also good for you." The older miner shook his head and said, "Business here is not for everyone, haven't you noticed that there are no vendors here?" ”

Huo Yuhao frowned when he heard this, his spiritual detection unfolded slightly, and he really didn't find how many small merchants and vendors there were on the street.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

At this moment, a loud shout came from the other side of the street, and all the miners were shocked when they heard this, and they cowered and made way to the side.

Greeted by a tall and strong man with red hair, he was walking towards Huo Yuhao menacingly.

"Who allowed you to set up a stall here?"

He asked Huo Yuhao arrogantly. As soon as he spoke, it was also obvious Xingluo's accent.

Huo Yuhao asked calmly, "Is there any problem with setting up a stall here?" ”

"No problem, of course."

The red-haired man sneered and glanced at the grilled fish in front of him: "But as long as you set up a stall here, you have to pay half of our Nange's income as a stall fee." ”

"And everything that is sold for food and drink must be purchased in our liquor store, otherwise it will be forbidden."

Collecting protection money? Huo Yuhao frowned when he heard this.

The Ice Emperor raised her eyebrows, she didn't even need to raise her hand, she could make the little gangster in front of her who didn't have long eyes fart to urinate, but she was stopped by Huo Yuhao's voice.

The other miners and women didn't dare to come forward to speak, just because the red-haired strong man was a second-ring great soul master, and he was used to being powerful here.

Huo Yuhao said coldly: "Listening to your accent, it should also be a Xingluo person, right?" ”

The red-haired man scoffed: "So what? ”

"Since they are all Xingluo people, they should help each other in a foreign country."

"But if you open and close your mouth, you will take half of your income, and you have to buy goods from you, isn't it a bit too domineering?"

The red-haired man laughed: "Domineering? What if they are all Xingluo people, you don't give Lao Tzu a friendship. ”

"We don't care about the Sun and Moon people, as long as the Xingluo people come to our mining area, they have to abide by the rules of our mining area."

"Otherwise, I'll smash your stall."

Faced with the threat of the red-haired strong man, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but cover his face and laughed funny.

The Sun and Moon people reject the Xingluo immigrants, which is reasonable. But the red-haired strong man in front of him, who was also from Xingluo, was able to bully his compatriots so naturally, which made Huo Yuhao feel extremely ridiculous, and he sincerely admired it in his heart.

Originally, he was curious about how those mine owners hired so many immigrants to manage, but now it suddenly dawned on him.

It turns out that those mine owners use to manage the Xingluo people are the Xingluo people, and I have to say that they are really a group of geniuses who have thoroughly understood human nature.

This is also the reason why Huo Yuhao wants to laugh.

"It's really a fellow to see a fellow, a shot in the back."
