Chapter 146 Real dog!
At the sudden burst of laughter of the little female, Ji Liang looked down in confusion and subconsciously fed her spiritual power, fearing that she would hurt the baby in her belly too hard.
"Xiao Shuoshuo, is there anything funny?"
Si Shuo buried her head in his arms and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just think what you said just now is funny. The more I think about it, the funnier it becomes. , Haha..."
Ji Liang really thought that her smile was low, and he was infected by her and smiled softly with the corners of his lips curled up.
Si Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then continued to laugh tremblingly, ah, I can’t stop, I can’t stop! She could no longer look directly at Ji Liang to use some special powers...
At this moment, Zhi Qi stopped. They had arrived at the downtown area of Chengxi District. There were two long streets running across the place. It's a stall owner.
Porcelain, cotton cloth, fruits and vegetables, furs, muscles, bones, various meats, eggs, grains and various cooked foods are also sold, as well as domesticated and gentle poultry and livestock, as well as various handmade products, and of course there are also stands Orcs waiting for odd jobs at a specific location.
This lively atmosphere is similar to the markets and temple fairs of later generations.
Si Shuo liked the excitement the most, so he took Zhi Qi’s hand and started walking around. The snacks here are much richer than Dongye Zhongfang, and they taste authentic and delicious.
It's like a kind of sticky rice that is crushed, then a very small amount of water is added, and the grains are kneaded continuously until the grains are clearly defined. Layers are spread evenly on a bamboo cage with fine cotton cloth, and then sprinkled with dried flowers and dried berries, and then sprinkled on the mud. Steam slowly on the stove.
The steamed sticky rice is turned into thick and soft cakes, cut into small pieces and topped with honey for sale!
Jiliang directly bought a pot of freshly baked celebration cakes, leaving three pieces for them to eat. The rest were put into the animal skin bag and actually put into a storage ring for the little female to keep as snacks.
The steaming celebratory cake has the sweet and sour fragrance of flowers and berries, and is chewy and chewy. It is a rare delicacy in the beast world that is loved by everyone.
Si Shuo ate happily, and his whole body was filled with love. The two beastmen's eyebrows widened, and they felt that it was only the Big Beast City that could intensively raise their own little females.
Kouba and Hanghe saw that Si Shuo liked to eat, so they also bought a cage for Yili and the cubs at home and put them in the storage ring. Twenty square meters of storage rings are enough for their daily use, not to mention one for each male. This is a treatment that other orcs do not have. They were especially grateful to Si Shuo's family and wished them well!
There were also sellers of small dried fish in the market. Si Shuo tasted one. The type of dried fish was average and had a strong fishy smell. It was completely incomparable with Gong You’s private collection.
Bought some plant-dyed coarse cloth, and after asking around, they found the place marked on the land deed.
The Hexi tribe mainly operates in the west area of the city, so the houses, shops and fields they provide are also nearby.
The second-floor shop is located on the street of the market. It is quite old and the stones on it have serious signs of weathering. Now the shop is for rent and the customer flow is not small.
Zhi Qi and Si Shuo were eating wontons at a stall diagonally across from them. The floating wheat was peeled and crushed into powder, then mixed with water to make noodles. Each palm-sized pot was filled with slightly seasoned meat fillings, and then Knead them together.
The soup is cooked with gilt chicken rack! According to the requests of diners, after cooking the wontons, the stall owner cracks in one or two eggs and boils them into egg droplets.
Sure enough, people have withdrawn from endless hunting, because farming and breeding are basically self-sufficient. With extra time, life is much more sophisticated than other places.
Eating the hot and delicious wontons, Si Shuo couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction, this is called life!
Jiliang came back from wandering around, and while eating wontons, he whispered to Si Shuo and Zhi Qi:
"Hiss, the person who rents the shop is a gray parrot orc who sells various kinds of wontons. It sells ready-made clothes, and the business is pretty good. 10% of the orcs who pass by always want to go in and browse. It is said that this shop has been open for 20 or 30 years, and there are many regular customers coming to buy clothes."
Si Shuo nodded: "In other words, while our situation is unclear and we have not yet established a foothold in Guangshou City, this shop cannot be taken back and we can only rent it out for the time being?"
Ji Liang hummed: "On these streets, whether it is stalls or shops, the changes are not big. Unless something happens to the stall owner's family, he will change hands.
And basically there are no people outside. I heard that the handover of the shop has been completed
There are many orcs who come to settle in Guangshou City every day, and the local orcs are quite exclusive and bullying.
Even if a new orc spends a lot of money to find a shop or stall, in addition to being required to pay a relatively high protection fee, regardless of whether the stall's business is incompatible with other stalls, as long as it makes money, there will be All kinds of troubles come to your door..."
Zhi Qi raised his eyebrows: "If you make money, you will have trouble, but if you don't make money, you can't afford the protection fee? "
"Yes, this is basically the situation. In Guangshou City, everything depends on family background first, and then strength and connections," Ji Liang began to understand everything about China from Dongye Zhongfang. Only by having enough understanding of the lives of the orcs on the mainland can we seek breakthroughs and vitality from this impregnable beast city, which is dominated by families and tribes. "Otherwise, even if we get the contracts for shops, houses and fields. Books cannot easily drive away tenants. ”
Speaking of this, he looked meaningfully at the little female picking up wontons.
Si Shuo met his gaze, turned his head and coughed twice.
Zhi Qi hurriedly stroked her back with one hand to calm her down, and injected spiritual energy into her with the other hand.
Ji Liang said with a helpless smile: "Xiao Shuoshuo, please be careful when eating. If you have anything to say, please wait. Swallow the food in your mouth before talking. "
Si Shuo's eyes were slightly red because she choked, and she glared at him, and it wasn't because of him!
Don't think that she couldn't understand what he meant. She just arrived in Guangshou City. She is about to shoulder the arduous task of finding the golden thigh...
Since Ji Liang said so, it means that the five small courtyards and twenty-five acres of fields they won through the ring competition, as well as the shops and one hundred acres of fields they looted from Wang Hao, are all rented by people. They are renting them for a short period of time. Guilt is hard to take back.
"It's okay, let's take it slow. Anyway, Zhiler and the others can earn crystal stones by being beast soldiers, and whether it is shops, houses or fields, they all have rent..."
mentioned This, Ji Liang twitched the corner of his lips, "Didn't the Hexi tribe come back early? They hurriedly collected the rent, and it lasted for five years. This does not include the two-year deposit!"
Si Shuo...the people of the Hexi tribe are really dogs!
With these deeds in hand, it will take seven years for them to see the crystal?
Even if the tenant has not reached the lease term, or the lease term has expired, and they are not ready to continue renting, then they have to pay for the spar themselves!
Seven years is a long time. They came in a hurry and felt like a bucket of cold water was poured down on them. The only good thing was that the five beastmen in the family were recruited as beast soldiers in Dongye Zhongfang.
Otherwise, they would have to spend a lot of crystals to stay in the guest cave and face the risk of being kicked out at any time.
It is impossible for the beastmen to watch her condensing spiritual plants and stay at home doing nothing.
All they can do is do humble odd jobs, selling their labor to do dirty and tiring work like those orcs in the suburbs. On the contrary, it is better to be free and happy in the southern continent.
Sure enough, no matter where you are, the first step is the hardest.
