Chapter 63, Restaurant-Foxtail’s Story

What Zhao Ji actually hopes most is to buy a suit of iron armor, but he knows without asking that the price of a suit of iron armor is certainly not cheap and he cannot afford it. So he can only settle for the second best, wear a suit of leather armor, and for the sake of the future

It is considered that Zhao Ji will leave a place and design for adding iron armor pieces on his leather armor.

Zhao Ji recorded all his ideas on papyrus, including a multi-strap backpack made of strong linen, a comprehensive pendant to repel mosquitoes, an integrated sleeping bag for overnight trips in the wild, outdoor lighting equipment, and a windproof oil lamp.

But not long after, the oil lamp in the house went out because there was no lamp oil. Zhao Ji had no choice but to pack up his things by moonlight and lie down to sleep.

He lay there, thinking about some arrangements for tomorrow and beyond.

First of all, the first thing tomorrow is to go with Guild Foxtail to see how the leather shop is making the slime monster's envelope. If everything goes well, try to finalize the matter that day. Guild Foxtail is the president of Foxtail Chamber of Commerce.

It was handled by one hand, and as long as President Foxtail is sure about it, there will be no problem.

Secondly, it will take some time to make the slime monster's envelope. The chamber of commerce will not pay until the envelope is made. So he only has so much money for the time being, and it is difficult to find new channels for making money.

We can only use the opportunity of the Chamber of Commerce to repair the roof to hunt more slime monsters. Although Zhao Ji really doesn't want to hunt slime monsters, but who told him to come here with nothing? He has no accumulation of property, so he can only rely on it first.

Now is the opportunity.

Finally, it was a question of when to hunt slime monsters, how to hunt slime monsters, and where to hunt slime monsters. There were many things to do tomorrow, and there were many preparations for hunting slime monsters. At least he had to modify the shield according to his vision.

As for weapons, he also plans not to use the short sword anymore, and everything has been dismantled. Moreover, the short sword is still inconvenient, it is difficult to use force, and it cannot cause fatal damage.

Secondly, it is always easy to smash the slime monsters into sieves, and they cannot be sold for a price. Each smashed slime monster is a loss of more than ten copper coins.

Thirdly, the attack method of Dange still has limitations, and it is not as convenient as the straight-forward long wooden spear. Although both of them feel quite easy for Zhao Ji, in intense battles, simpler attack methods will save more money.

Precious time, a more labor-saving attack method will save precious physical strength, and a faster attack method will allow him to attack first and gain the advantage.

So before the next hunt, his weapons had to be prepared.

As for the work of making a battle site in the swamp south of the city, he had to start after deciding where to clean up the slime monsters. And he also had to find someone to borrow an axe. It would be best to have a cart so that he could use it conveniently.

Transporting slime is weird, so you don’t need to trouble Punika craftsmen to move back and forth.

After hunting so many slime monsters before, he had no choice but to find someone to watch. He not only wanted to find someone to prove that he was the one hunting the slime monsters, but also wanted to use their mouths to publicize his reputation, and he also wanted to win the bet quickly and get the two.

Got a silver coin.

Life without money is really painful.

Thinking about it from left to right, Zhao Ji fell asleep unconsciously.

——

The next day, morning.

As soon as it dawned, Zhao Ji was woken up by the sound of roosters crowing one after another. However, he didn't sleep too late last night, so he was very energetic now. He washed his face and rinsed his mouth with a bucket in the house.

Ji went downstairs.

I went to the restroom next to the restaurant to use the toilet, then washed my hands and had breakfast.

Today's breakfast is still soup and bread, but the soup is fish soup, with the Kendall River fish that Chef Whinnell caught yesterday. The large pieces of fish meat and fish bones turn the soup into a milky white color.

, vegetables and tubers are floating in it, and the dry but very filling black bread is soaked in. It feels like the bread is holding back the fish soup.

Aunt Dilu's loud voice in the restaurant rang in her ears, warning the chamber of commerce workers to be careful of fish bones and fish bones when eating fish. One of her brothers died because of this when he was less than ten years old.

One of the waiters said that he was no longer ten years old and could not even eat fish. Aunt Dilu sighed and said that when she was a child, her family was poor and she had never eaten fish, so this kind of thing happened. Whitney

Chef Er comforted his wife by patting her back.

Zhao Ji ate slowly, waiting for President Foxtail to come to the Chamber of Commerce restaurant for dinner.

After a while, President Foxtail came. After seeing Zhao Ji, he nodded to him and went to get food.

Seeing President Foxtail coming, Zhao Ji finished his meal in a few seconds. He ate the fish first, then broke the bread and soaked it in the soup. When President Foxtail arrived, he finished the meal in one breath

Put the soft bread and vegetables soaked in the soup into your mouth and drink up the soup.

Arriving next to President Foxtail, Zhao Ji was waiting for President Foxtail, who was eating slowly.

He blinked his eyes with a smile. The wrinkles on President Foxtail's face seemed to have expanded a little because he had eaten something delicious. After cutting the black bread into slices with a silver table knife, he ate the bread with the thick soup.

.

Zhao Ji has always wondered why President Foxtail, as the president of the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce and one of the top thirty in Kendall City, still eats this kind of bread made of crude rye.

And he is quite old, at least in his fifties and sixties, which is considered an old man here. Why do he still eat black bread that even the young people don't want to eat?

As if seeing the confusion in Kil's eyes, President Foxtail stopped his meal and asked Kil what troubled him and if he could tell him.

Zhao Ji truthfully stated his question. Unexpectedly, it made the old Foxtail President laugh.

"When I was young, just like you young people, I left my hometown alone to explore. It wasn't because I had any ambitions in my heart, it was simply because there was a famine in my hometown at that time. The older generation of Imperial people all know that

You young people today don't understand how terrible famine is. After all, the conditions in the kingdom are still very good.

My parents couldn't feed so many children at home, so they had to let me, the eldest son, go out and have his own adventures. As long as there was one less person to eat, maybe the family could survive for a while longer.

As long as it rains, immortal-eating mushrooms will grow on the grass in the wild, and wild vegetables that are not toxic will grow in the wasteland.

I was walking toward the big city with what little food I had at home. When I encountered a dry river, I would lift up rocks and drink the muddy water below. I would eat the top leaves of trees that no one could reach.

We walked for many days before we arrived in the big city.

I didn't dare to finish all the food provided at home along the way, so I could only hold the little bits left tightly in my hands.

In the big city, I struggled to gain a foothold, and after the famine passed, I dared to return to my hometown." President Foxtail said slowly.

Zhao Ji's eyes widened and he asked slowly: "What happens after you return to your hometown?"

The other people in the restaurant had no reaction at all when they heard President Foxtail's story. They continued to go about their own business, eating and chatting.

"After returning to my hometown, hey." President Foxtail took out a necklace hanging around his neck from his chest. On it was a god's emblem, and the other was a small transparent glass bottle, which contained several dried

Small fruits and wild vegetables.

Zhao Ji looked at the vial and paused in breathing.

"After returning to my hometown, I discovered that my hometown happened to pass by an elf envoy because it was beside a main road in the empire. They saw that there was a famine in their hometown, so they used magic to bring light rain to large areas there for a week.

The village is full of wild vegetables, the village is full of mushrooms, and even the wooden windows are covered with mushrooms.

I have endured hardship in a big city for nothing, and I have suffered a lot of beatings and grievances." President Foxtail said with a smile and speeded up.

This time Zhao Ji was stupid and could only say: "I'll go."

He was tricked by the old man. To this, Zhao Ji could only say slowly: "Fortunately, your hardships were not in vain, and you later embarked on the road of business, right?"

Zhao Ji felt that his guess was probably correct. After President Huwei saw the big city, he would definitely not want to stay in the small place in his hometown anymore.

Winking his eyes, Old Foxtail smiled even happier: "No! Because the protagonist in the above story is actually not me, that person is my brother. After he returned to his hometown, he told me his experience and asked me to learn from it.

He taught me a lesson and asked me to keep the fruits and wild vegetables he left behind. He followed in the footsteps of the elves and learned magic spells."

This time Zhao Ji was completely speechless.

Old man, are you kidding me?
