Chapter 70: Prosperous County Town (Part 2)

Lin Yi Guang and Sun Yang talked for a quarter of an hour before they figured out everything. During this time, he frequently looked at Lin Yue's eyes and acted accordingly, which made Sun Yang realize that Lin Yue was the one in charge.

"Brother Sun, we should stay here for a while. I wonder if we can find someone familiar with the local area to take us around the county."

When asking for help, another gold leaf was handed over.

"No problem, no problem. There's a pawnshop next to my brother's house. Let him take you there."

Sun Yang pushed out a man who looked very smart.

Except for one person who stayed on the boat to watch over it, the rest of the people followed Lin Yue and prepared to go to the brokerage firm to rent a yard. Ruan Xiayu took Lin Yiran to the government office to handle the paperwork.

The area next to the pier is basically empty. After walking a few hundred meters, you will gradually see residential houses scattered around, with occasional children playing outside.

After passing the thatched houses, there are neat houses and clean streets. Countless people are walking around in the streets, with sounds of hawking, shouting, beating, scolding, and cheering.

I suddenly entered the bustling streets and finally felt the real feeling of living in this world!

The Piranha plant above my head has long complained that it is tired of eating seafood, and now it can finally go to the mountains to change its taste.

Passing by a noodle shop, the smell of chicken soup was rich and fresh, and there was a constant gurgling sound. Everyone stared at the noodle stall and couldn't help swallowing.

"Brother, we haven't had a staple food for a long time. Let's have a bowl of chicken noodle soup together. We may have a lot of places to go next, so we should eat a full meal before we can move forward."

Those who were chosen usually ran errands for Sun Yang. Now he can get money and a free meal. He hopes that such good things will happen more often.

Afraid of being misunderstood as disagreeing, I nodded quickly.

Lin Yue's mouth twitched slightly. Is it so straightforward to take advantage of others? Without even a hint of rejection.

Finally, the young man talked to the boss and ordered 100 bowls of chicken noodle soup.

After they entered, the originally spacious place became very crowded. Half of the people were sitting at the four tables, and the rest were standing, staring at the boss closely.

The noodle shop owner endured over a hundred creepy stares and gritted his teeth as he cooked the noodles. All the ingredients he had prepared for dinner were finished in one go.

The bucket of chicken soup was scooped out cleanly, and it was only barely complete after adding minced meat sauce. Now there was no wonton to sell in the evening.

A large bowl that could not be held in both hands, filled with golden chicken soup, white noodles, and a little green onion sprinkled on top as a decoration.

"Slurp."

Smooth and chewy, with the rich flavor of chicken broth.

After taking a bite, everyone buried their heads and ate voraciously without even looking up.

After a while, burps could be heard one after another at the noodle stall, and everyone had a satisfied look on their face.

Lin Yue threw down five taels of silver and walked out with everyone, holding her stomach.

"This is another foreigner who came here by boat. It's been days since he last had anything to eat."

"Oh, haven't you seen enough? The people on those ships are always starving. We rely on them for food, otherwise we would still be digging in the fields for food."

"Our Majesty is wise. He allows caravans from other countries to come ashore and trade. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live a good life."

After Lin Yue and others left, the boss and his family packed up and prepared to close the business, and also discussed the guests they would receive.

"ah!"

Lin Jiao's voice attracted everyone's attention.

"What's wrong? You're already so old, and you're still yelling. What did I teach you? You should stay calm no matter what happens."

"Aunt, look."

Everyone looked in the direction of her finger.

A man nearly two meters tall, with yellow curly hair and wearing a black tuxedo. The most important thing is that his skin is as pale as a dead person, but his eyes are blue.

Most of the people in Baixiang Village who had never seen the world opened their mouths wide, and some even screamed in surprise. Only Lin Yue, Lin Hongyuan, and Ruan Xiayu managed to maintain composure.

"Auntie, is this a human? Why is his hair yellow, his eyes blue, and his clothes so strange?"

Lin Yue was also shocked. There were actually humans from another hemisphere here. Could their current navigation technology allow them to cross half the planet?

"This is a Westerner, and everyone there looks like this, just like we have black hair and black eyes, there's nothing strange about it.

You see, fish have so many different red colors, and we humans can’t all look the same. They are just different people from us.”

Lin Jiao and others were so shocked that they forgot how Lin Yue knew these people.

There really are all kinds of strange things in this world.

"You will see more different kinds of people in the future. Some have eyes that are purple, gold, or green. There's also a type of person whose skin is completely black. If he doesn't show his teeth when he stands there at night, he will blend into the darkness."

"Is this true? Auntie, there are people like this. Are they completely black?"

Lin Jiao couldn't imagine what someone dressed entirely in black looked like, and was even more curious about someone she had never seen before.

"Of course, their skin is as black as our hair, and everything on their body is black except their teeth and nails."

The guy who followed was also listening with great interest, after all, he had never seen a black person before.

"Wow, what is this? Why is it glowing? It's so dazzling!"

Lin Jiao's attention was attracted by the diamonds on the stall next to her. Because there was no cutting technology in this world, the diamonds were very large, just like a piece of stone placed there. The difference was that they were transparent and sparkled in the sunlight.

"It's a kind of ore, it's useless."

"Ms. Lin, I know it's just a beautiful stone, very hard. A wealthy local man spent ten taels of gold to buy a piece of it. No matter what tricks he used, it was still the same. He was so angry that he came to the shop to make trouble.

But the money was paid for, and the man himself bought it, so the matter was later forgotten."

"Ten taels of gold? Buying something like this is like having too much money to spend."

"Actually, that man owns a jewelry shop. I guess he bought it to make jewelry, but it can't be cut, so no matter how beautiful it is, it's useless. Now it's probably gathering dust in a corner of the garden."

"Actually, he has other gemstones on his stall. They're all very small and can be easily made into jewelry. Would you like to see them?"

The guide had already prayed in his heart for his request. After all, as long as the customers he brought in made a purchase, he would get a share.

The women, already aroused by the desire to shop, have gathered together to pick and choose the gems on the stalls. They are mostly sapphires, rubies, pink sapphires and yellow sapphires, which are almost the size of rice grains or soybeans.

The men shuddered as they watched the women frantically trying to grab their arms. If she spent money like this, how fast would she have to make money to keep up?
