In the evening, the convoy finally arrived in a small village.

Clarice jumped out of the car and yelled at Todd, "I'm going to get the roof fixed and some more flyers." Look at this kid, don't let him run away. He's worth twenty gold, and if he runs away, I'll deduct it from your paycheck!"

Todd replied angrily, "Yes, Captain." ”

"Shut up, don't call me sir, I'm poor!" Clarice angrily left.

She was indeed furious, because Heaven had sent her a poor and worthless fellow.

This guy who calls himself Fink doesn't even have a copper Wirt on him.

It's infuriating.

But it's rare that this is also a stupid boy, and he doesn't have the slightest intention of bargaining. God knows that she offered such a price, but it was used to lower the price of the other party. You must know that there are too many scoundrels in this world who break other people's things and refuse to compensate according to the price, they always try their best to deny and refuse to admit the facts, so you must first raise the price and give the other party a room to bargain, so that it is possible to get normal compensation.

However, the boy's generosity was soon realized by the leader of the philistine group that he was a "stupid boy who could be bullied", and since the heavens did not drop her gold coins, she could regard this as a gift from heaven to her labor.

People always have to inch in, not to mention that this teenager has done something that she thinks is "very stupid".

So before leaving, Clarice told the girls to leave all the work to the brunette boy. Although the girls were reluctant to arrive, Clarice didn't care about it - being handsome was not a reason to be exempt from servitude.

After the convoy stopped, there was a lot of work to be done, they had to set up the stage, prepare for the performance, and build a fire to cook.

Due to the poor living conditions of the troupe, there is no special cook, so the girls have always taken turns to take care of the cooking.

Today it was Lan Ti, the scantily clad little girl in charge of cooking.

"Girls shouldn't be smoky with their beauty, I'll leave that to me. Xiui said to Ranti with a smile.

"Forget it. Lan Ti jingle began to chop vegetables: "The head of the regiment is not here, you don't have to do anything." Isn't it just a broken roof? It's less than twenty Kingwitt. I reckon that at most two Kingwitt will solve all the problems. The head of the regiment is really too much for you, but you are also to blame for your own bad feelings, you shouldn't say how much you promised. ”

"It's okay, but anyway, I've made you cold, and I'm always a little unhappy. Besides, I'm not short of money. ”

"Really?" Lan Ti stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes.

This embarrassed Huey a little: "I mean, I thought I had enough money to come out, but in fact there are always things that are out of my control. ”

"So now you can only grit your teeth and accept the price of the regimental commander?

"Honestly, I don't mind doing something for you to compensate, so I don't have to regret it. Huey laughed.

"Oh, since you're willing to help, then help me deal with the dishes on the side, I mean if you know how to do it, but it doesn't matter if you can't do it, you just can't eat the dead anyway. Actually, you shouldn't have taken out those weird things, otherwise the head of the regiment might not be so angry. ”

In order to make up for Clarice's loss, Huey specially took out several bottles of precious potions for her. It's a pity that not everyone knows what to do, and a bottle of precious potion that can be sold for at least hundreds of Jinvit in the market is no different from a bottle of water in Clarice's eyes.

She was furious that God had not only not given her a god of wealth, but on the contrary, had given her a charlatan. That's why I decided to let Xiui work to make up for the loss, and at the same time educate this kid well, so that he knows that deception is immoral.

This made Xiu Yi very helpless.

Those potions that have a good therapeutic effect cannot reflect their value because the girls are not sick or painful. Auxiliary potions, basically for magicians and samurai, ordinary people use it is meaningless, as for the anti-aging elixir, the effect can not be seen immediately, can be seen immediately, but those curse potions and poison potions.

Considering that the girls didn't make any big mistakes, he really didn't want them to try the taste of "dead and alive".

As for the seeds of the demon plant, Xiu was very skeptical that if he took them out, he would be thrown away as stones by Clarice immediately.

He still has some magic swords that he can sell for some money, and he doesn't worry that Clarice doesn't know the goods, but the problem is that he obviously can't fit such a large object on his body, and appearing out of thin air will undoubtedly expose the existence of the ring, and the sword is a murder weapon that will also scare these girls.

He carried all the wealth of the entire Purgatory Island, but it was all books, medicines, weapons, energy crystals, magic amplification gems and the like, and either they could not prove their value, or they could not appear in front of others at all. Perhaps the only thing that can confirm Clarice's value is Hines's staff, and women are always very sensitive to gems.

But he doubted that if he did give the staff to Clarice, the woman would have sled all the gems from the staff and then throw it away.

That's really tyrannical.

For the vast majority of ordinary people, let alone a magic staff, even magicians are just legendary beings. They never had the chance to see it, and they didn't think that a person who fell from the sky would be a reason to be a magician.

Especially since the boy was still so young, he didn't show any of the pride of a magician and the age commensurate with him.

Everyone knows that big people are always proud, especially those magicians who are rare in the world.

If Huey had returned the favor with an arrogant "How dare you ask for money from a magician?" when she asked for compensation, perhaps Clarice would have shut up immediately, given the fact that he had fallen from the sky. But Huey didn't show that arrogance, and he immediately accepted the demand for compensation.

That's why Clarice decided to requisition Huey so unceremoniously when she said she had no money and tried to come up with potions to pay for it.

She would never believe that a magician could be so polite, no matter how he fell from the sky, he could not be a magician.

Even if he was a magician, he was just a "bully magician." ”

That's what Clarice realized.

At this moment, Lan Ti said this, Xiu Yi touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "If I say that I am rich and rival the country, you will definitely not believe it." ”

"Everyone has the right to dream. The little girl replied cheerfully.

Alas, cook honestly.

————————————

The Violet Cabaret Troupe, with about thirty people, is predominantly female, with less than a third being men.

The entire song and dance troupe has a total of five carriages, a wagon, plus those performance props, which is almost the entire industry of the song and dance troupe.

In addition to Clarice, there is also a butler named Alec Binney, who is mainly responsible for arranging the affairs of the cabaret troupe, and a foreign affairs officer, who is mainly responsible for liaising with theaters in various places and negotiating the cost of renting venues for performances. However, this kind of performance in rented venues is generally only carried out in large cities, and if it is in a small place, the song and dance troupe will build a performance studio because of the simplicity of the performance.

In contrast, although the rental cost of venues in big cities is high, there are many aristocrats, there are many people who can afford to watch performances, and the income of song and dance troupes will increase compared to usual, so being able to perform in big cities has always been their favorite for song and dance troupes. It's a pity that many high-end venues don't allow small cabaret groups to enter, so Clarice often has to rely on some scattered performances to maintain expenses.

Therefore, whenever they go to a place, they will immediately set up a stage to prepare for a performance, and the head of the troupe and the foreign affairs staff will go to run business and attract customers.

When Clarice returned, she had already finished handing out flyers and brought a few locals to repair the roof of the car, and she bargained with the locals for a long time, and finally managed to get it with one gold and eighty silver virts.

As soon as she came back, she exclaimed, "Oh, that little boy is still there? That's good, tell me what job you've given him? Don't try to fool me, I know you can't walk when you see a pretty boy." Todd, you answer me. ”

Todd, the strong-headed coachman, replied, "I saw him cooking, doing some carrying, and flirting with Ranti. ”

"Lanti!" Clarice screamed.

Lan Ti angrily smashed a towel into Todd's face and shouted, "Todd, you bastard, I didn't expect a fool like you to be playing right and wrong behind your back!"

Todd touched his face and smiled silly: "Mom said that stupid people don't equal good people." ”

Xiu Yi looked at the ridiculous scene in front of him, and his heart was only amused.

During those days on Purgatory Island, he had to live in fear every day and speak carefully. He had to be careful to avoid Hines's eyes everywhere, and he had to think over everything he did.

And now, in this cabaret troupe, he sees the natural coexistence between people.

They can laugh and scold loudly, talk at will, there is no difference between up and down, and everyone coexists equally.

It's really enviable.

Perhaps this life had always been something she wanted to get rid of for Clarice, the head of the regiment, but for Huey, it was exactly what she had dreamed of the most in years—maybe he would get tired of it soon, but at least for now, he loved it.

After the frolic, Clarice asks Ranti, "My Lanti baby, what are we going to eat today?"

Lan Ti replied weakly: "Stir-fried mountain greens, big-eared pine cones, oh, and some tomato juice and roma soup left over from noon." ”

"Sounds unappetizing. ”

"It's winter, and we don't have much money. Lan Ti replied helplessly.

Clarice clenched her fists, "Okay then, just eat these." Let everyone hurry up and eat and then make money...... Hopefully there will be more guests today. ”

Looking at the current predicament of the song and dance troupe, Xiu Yi finally couldn't help but say: "Captain Clarice, in fact, even in winter, there can be a lot of rich raw materials that can be processed into food, and it doesn't cost money. ”

Huey's words not only made Clarice stunned, but also the other girls looked at Huey together.

Clarice glanced at Hue to make sure he wasn't joking, and then asked suspiciously, "Are you sure we can find anything else?"

"Yes, Captain Clarice, I noticed that there are some wild mushrooms growing on the outskirts of this village. Even in winter, they are still thriving and are easy to pick in patches. ”

"But mushrooms are poisonous and can't be eaten!"

"Yes, Captain Clarice, but not every mushroom is poisonous, and most importantly, the mushroom's toxin is not impossible to remove, in fact it is not difficult. ”

"You mean you can get rid of the poison of those mushrooms?" Clarice's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't imagine that the little boy could do this.

Xiu Yi nodded: "Yes, I've seen that mushroom, and I'm absolutely sure that you can enjoy its delicious taste without worrying about poisoning." ”

"How can I trust you? I think you're probably going to want to poison us all and run away on your own. Clarice exclaimed.

Xiu Yi said helplessly: "You can not believe me, but I just want to help you, and by the way, make up for the losses I have caused you." Don't forget that I eat those mushrooms too. ”

Clarice crossed her hands and looked at Huey for a long time before she said:

"None of us here can make mushrooms. ”

"I will. Xiu Yi smiled, "And I'm confident that I'm doing a good job." ”

"You're a good cook?"

"You can try my cooking first. ”

Ranti brought a pot of green vegetables made by Thui to Clarice.

Clarice picked one up with her slender fingers and tasted it, her eyes widened, and she exclaimed, "Well done, oh Fink, you're a wonderful cook!"

Lan Ti also smiled: "I think I can let him try." ”

"Okay then, let him eat it first when it's done. Clarice nodded in agreement.

That evening, the members of the song and dance troupe enjoyed a feast of mushrooms made for them by Xiu Yi himself. Although everyone was cautious at the beginning, no one dared to swallow, but when they saw Xiu Yi eating a lot and nothing happened, they finally let go of the scruples in their hearts.

They were soon intoxicated by the delicious taste of mushrooms.

It was the best meal the troupe had ever enjoyed since its inception, and in Clarice's words, "Even the nobles could never eat so much delicious food, and we were the happiest people in the world." ”

She's really not very demanding.

The way she looked at Xiu Yi was finally different.

At that time, Huey said to Clarice, "I will sell the few bottles of potions I have with me when I enter the city, and then return the money I owe you." As for now, I don't mind doing what I can to apologize for helping you, like cooking from today onwards. Think of it as ...... Car money and interest. ”

Clarice agreed without hesitation.

For the sake of food, she sincerely hoped that Xiu Yi would not pay for it, and she didn't think that the bottles of broken potions in Xiu Yi's hand could be sold for any good price.
