Chapter 213 All
Food, clothing, housing and transportation, it seems that as long as you are willing to work hard, you can figure it out.
It’s a pity that the tastes of males are quite different from those of females. Although the food they make is okay, it always feels like something is missing.
Thinking of this, Zhou Manman gained a little more confidence.
The red door was very conspicuous, with a small window. A female was sitting inside, looking bored. When she saw Zhou Manman coming over, her face perked up a little.
"Are you selling something? What? Food? Let me check it first."
She had a plump figure and was now standing upright, looking out of the window.
"Well, sell some food that you make yourself."
As Zhou Manman spoke, she asked Lin to open the lid of the bamboo tube. The fragrance immediately rushed out, and the fragrance wrapped in hot air spread over a distance of two miles. The female took a deep breath in excitement.
Then he sat back down.
He shook his head and said, "Where do you want to rent?"
"Next to the orc selling rice cakes in front, next to the big tree."
"There, it seems there is still room, one energy stone for ten days."
Zhou Manman nodded, "Okay."
Just as he was about to hand over the energy stone, he heard her continue, "But..."
Zhou Manman thought she was deliberately making things difficult for her, and she frowned slightly, wavering for a moment. That position was indeed quite good, but if the lion asked for too much, she seemed unable to accept it.
"If you are willing to give me some of that—" the female pointed her lips at the bamboo tube, "If you are willing to let me have a taste, I will give you a few more days."
"that's it?"
"you are not willing?"
The female blushed and said angrily, "If you don't want to, then I'll give you an energy stone for ten days."
"Yes, yes."
Zhou Manman smiled, took the leaves out of the basket, rinsed them, gave her some and passed them to her through the window, "Try it, if you like it, come and patronize our stall."
The female snorted coldly, "I'm testing the poison on myself, what if it doesn't taste good?"
As she spoke, her hand quickly took it and put it aside, then took out a dead leaf that was faintly glowing green and handed it to them, with the number twenty written on it in large letters.
After watching them walk away, she picked up the braised food and took a bite. Although it smelled good, it was unexpectedly so delicious!
When Zhou Manman returned there, she found that more and more people were coming. They set up stalls and opened all the braised food. Soon the aroma spread far away.
A young female and a young female came over following the scent, followed by an orc who was nearly two meters tall and kept strangers away.
“How do you sell this?”
Zhou Manman picked up a stone, "An energy stone, weigh this stone."
It was the first time that Julia had seen such a transaction method. She found it very novel. She took the stone and weighed it. "This stone is quite heavy. How can I know that what I bought is as heavy as this stone?"
Zhou Manman instructed Lin to take out a simple scale made of wood, put the stone into one side, and the other side bent down.
Julia curled her lips slightly, "That's quite fair."
"A little trick."
"Then get me an energy stone first."
Zhou Manman said, "Don't worry, you can try it first. It would be bad if you don't like it after buying it."
As she spoke, she picked out the cut pieces of meat and handed them to her. Julia picked up a piece of meat with a small skewer and started eating. After chewing it for a few times, her eyes lit up.
It’s fresh and flavorful, with a mellow texture to the meat, but somehow it has a strong flavor of sauce while still having a very tender texture.
She nodded. "Very good. Take the one with three energy stones. It's delicious. By the way, how should I display this thing when I take it back?"
"If the weather is not hot, you can keep it for two or three days, but if the weather is hot, it tastes best if you eat it all in one day." Zhou Manman said this and paused, "Will you not be able to finish so much if you buy so much?"
Julia shook her head. "It's not a lot. Just keep it. It's just a little. If everyone shares some, it will be gone."
"Amu, I want to eat too."
The female cub has a little bun on her head and is pulling Am's hand to act coquettishly.
Zhou Manman took the stick and handed it over, "I wonder if there are any dietary restrictions."
"There's no such thing as a dietary restriction. She just wants to eat more."
Julia handed the skewer to the kid and said, "Eat slowly."
The kid smiled and nodded, eating with great relish.
Zhou Manman looked at her well-behaved appearance and was suddenly deeply moved. She thought all female cubs were like Liz.
After sending them away, some more females came forward to ask, and some asked if they could exchange things. Zhou Manman shook her head and said, "When we have a market, we will go to the market to sell it and exchange things there. Now we can only buy it with energy stones."
The orc nodded after hearing that and tried the food. The taste was mixed. It couldn't be said to be bad, but it couldn't be said to be delicious either. It was not pure.
But the females at home should like it very much. I want an energy stone.
"What's that over there? Why does it smell so good?"
The sound came before the people, and soon Zhou Manman saw two females twisting their bodies and coming out of the crowd.
He sniffed again and again, "What are you selling? I've never seen you before."
"We just arrived today. It's normal that we haven't seen it before."
One of the females poked the other female's hand and said, "You, we can't eat anything we want. We don't have money to buy anything. We will be punished when we go back."
"If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?"
You smiled at her, leaned over to look at the milky white soup, pointed at it, and said, "What is this? How much is this?"
"This is pickled fish. Buy the fish fillet and get the soup for free."
"Is that so?" Youdian nodded, "How can I know if it tastes good? Can you let me have a bowl for free, good sister? I'll buy it if it tastes good."
This is not an unreasonable request. You cannot be too haggard when doing business.
Zhou Manman nodded and scooped a bowl for her.
You took a sip and looked up immediately. Wan said worriedly, "What's wrong? Is it too unpalatable?" Thinking that this was at someone else's stall, she lowered her voice and said, "If it doesn't taste good, finish it quickly and we'll run away."
You was so excited that he pulled her wrist and took another big sip, then reluctantly handed it to Wan, "Do you want a drink?"
Wan shook her head and was about to speak, but You wanted to finish the drink quickly. Wan immediately stepped forward to grab the bamboo tube and said, "Wait, I want to drink it."
After she said that, she took a sip, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she gulped it all down.
It’s fresh, sour, and rich, with slices of ginger and scallions floating in the air, and it’s fragrant but not greasy.
This stuff tastes so good!
This is the first time I have eaten such delicious food since I sneaked out ashore for so long.
You and Wan looked at each other and couldn't help but feel fortunate that they had stolen two energy stones from their seventh brother when they came out.
He immediately said generously: "We want two energy stones!"
Wan took a look at the stewed food and asked hurriedly, "Can we try that?"
"Of course, try it and see if it tastes good before buying."
Wan picked up a piece of meat with a skewer, put it in her mouth and chewed it. She immediately felt her saliva secretion increase and she became hungrier.
I was confused for a moment.
You waved his hand, "What's there to worry about? We have two energy stones, one for each!"
Wan also nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, why didn't I think of that, we all want them."
