30. Buying hearts and minds

Frevans, the bazaar of the lower town.

Miguel, our hard bone, is pushing the cart behind Himeha at this time, working hard to play the role of a tool man.

His current boss, Himeba, stands in front of the tool shop, constantly directing Miguel's men to carry bundles of shovels, shovels, sacks and a series of tools onto the pallet truck.

What kind of work will it be...... Miguel looked curiously at the tools on the cart.

You know, since he decided to become a gangster and robber years ago, he hasn't done this kind of work for a long time.

Although I have occasionally thought about washing my hands in the golden basin before, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Although the work of robbery and extortion is hated, the money comes quickly.

And these days of not doing personnel have made them accustomed to this kind of rich life of wanton plunder, so they occasionally think about it, if they are really good, they must be the first to be unwilling.

Sometimes, when they have money and can squander it freely, they even despise those who work in exchange for payment.

But I didn't expect that now, I was forced to do such a job through such a method.

Miguel thought about the tragic situation of having diarrhea for most of the night after taking everyone back yesterday, just after dinner, and felt related.

It's not dead, but it's weird...... This poison.

Miguel was so frightened by this that he didn't dare to eat this morning, so he hurriedly took his little brother to the alley yesterday and waited for Himeha's arrival.

During this time, they also inquired about the characteristics and symptoms of the poison in their bodies, but Ji Ye always put on a smile and did not answer these questions.

And when they arrived at the bazaar, they were even more polite but did not allow them to refuse to order them to move here and there, and did not give them a chance to inquire at all.

"How's it going, are you hungry?"

After the tools were purchased neatly, Ji Ye asked with a smile: "If the official start of construction is tentatively scheduled to the afternoon, at this time, I will take you to eat first." ”

"Uh...... Okay, it's all up to you...... Listen to the boss. Miguel replied unnaturally, God knows how long he hadn't spoken so politely.

"If that's the case, that's it." Saying this, Ji Ye smiled again and led the people from the market to the snack street.

It was noon at this time, and the snack street was very lively.

Steaming, frying, grilling, and stewing cannot be said to be everything, but can only be said to have everything.

Although before entering the snack street, Ji Ye said that today is the first day of work and that everyone will eat something good, but everyone, including Miguel himself, clearly knows that this is a polite word, and he is not so arrogant that he can really eat something good with Ji Ye.

It is estimated that eighty percent of Ji Ye eats a big meal, and the others eat some dry food and drink some water.

But who would have thought that as soon as they arrived at the snack street......

"Boss, this signboard bothers you to make fifteen servings, you don't need to pack it, we will eat it directly on the way......"

"Hello, Auntie, bring me fifteen portions of this meat labor......"

"Wow! This amount is enough, let's go to five points first, everyone tastes one bite at a time, and we will go to the next stall to continue eating. ”

"Huh? What are they? First time I saw it, boss, I'm tired of having one, it's okay, I can eat, there are a lot of people on my side......"

Miguel: "............"

Damn, I'm afraid this won't be a severed head!

Miguel and his subordinates held a hand of food, their expressions were trembling, and they looked at Ji Ye who was walking in front of him and eating happily with some worry, and their hearts were sudden.

But if you don't eat it, you're afraid of offending Ji Ye, so you can only eat it if you hesitate.

Not...... Not to mention, the taste is not bad. At least it's much better than that weird little pill yesterday.

And this eating, after eating through the defense line in their hearts, everyone's mouths never stopped.

At the beginning, everyone was still embarrassed and restrained and couldn't let go of their hands and feet, after all, they still had the consciousness of being a captive, but after eating, they slowly let go, and even made a noise and learned to order their own food.

Not to mention the direct passive to active, but also particularly self-familiar with a person who came over, took Ji Ye from the street to the end of the street, and incarnated as a tour guide to introduce local characteristics.

Himeba: "............"

Wow, what a simple bunch of people.

"Alas, Xiao Jiye, this is fake, this is to fool outsiders, let's go eat that house, that house is authentic."

"Eat this little Himeba, this fruit tea is the most delicious to drink in this season!"

"Huh?! Aren't you drinking alcohol?! That's a shame! ”

"Then Xiao Himeba, you can try this, this little cake is a local specialty, and it is very popular among girls......

"It's delicious, isn't it? What? Want to bring one back to the chess watcher? No problem, I've got this on my shoulder! ”

The meal was full of joy and excitement.

Ahh......h Wait a minute! Isn't there something wrong with that?

They're obviously prisoners, right? What is this guy's intention to be so good to them?!

Miguel was in a trance, and suddenly reacted to his identity as a "former robber and now a prisoner"!

So while he had doubts, he immediately looked at Ji Ye vigilantly, while constantly warning himself not to forget his identity as a prisoner, and on the other hand, he secretly felt that Ji Ye's method of buying people's hearts was really not very clever.

Just a meal, you want him Miguel to pour out her heart and lungs?

It's just wishful thinking!

"Huh? Big brother, why do you have such an expression? ”

The younger brother on the side saw that Miguel's face was not very good-looking, and hurriedly handed the food in his hand to his eldest brother, "Haven't you eaten enough?" I also have grilled elephant fish on skewers! It's a sweet sauce, but it's fresh! ”

Miguel immediately smiled: "Alas? Really? Thanks, let me taste it! ”

"Oh, if you want me to say big brother, that guy Ji Ye is good! We were also invited to eat. ”

Miguel: "yes, yes, that's a nice home......"

…… Wait, no! Wrong!

Miguel, who had digressed again, shook his head violently, and at the same time bent forward in frustration with his will to hate iron and steel, he thought to himself how he had lost his vigilance under such a sugar-coated cannonball!

So is my own little brother! How could it be bought so easily? Haven't I usually fed you, big brother? What a shame!

Miguel gulped out the elephant fish in his hand, and just when he wanted to expose Ji Ye's conspiracy and teach his little brother not to be so brainless, he found that his stupid little brother had already been smashed into the honey pot by Ji Ye's sugar-coated cannonball.

And not only him, but even other people's faces were full of smirks at this time, and one by one they were like tamed puppies, surrounding Ji Ye's side and looking forward and behind.

Miguel: "............"

Ahh How can you be bought so easily by a meal!!

At least...... At least it's not too late to wait for the other party to ask for a few more meals before digging out your heart and lungs!!
