Chapter 023 Migration and Staple Food Store 2
Di Si was a little confused, then flew into a rage, "How dare you, a mere baron, speak to me like that!"
"Show him off!" Kedero said to the guard without further ado, "Don't let any strangers bother me anymore!"
The guard nodded hurriedly and escorted Kedro away. Even he, as a guard, had been unhappy with this kid Dis for a long time.
Di Si was so angry that he jumped off the flying beast and chased after Kede Luo, cursing: "I will make my father teach you a lesson! My father is the viscount lord, the youngest son of the Duke..."
The slamming of a door interrupted his roar.
He was so frustrated that he was jumping up and down in anger. The sound of the door closing showed how incompetent and furious he was.
Although it is true.
He wanted to chase after him, but was ruthlessly stopped by the guards. He shook his fists and gritted his teeth, "I'm going to make my father teach you a lesson..."
In the silence of the night, his cries sounded like the clucking of chickens in the fields.
The attendants nearby exchanged glances and hurried over to stop him from embarrassing himself. "Sir, when we return to the Oez Territory, we'll report this to the Lord! But it's too late now. How about we find a place to rest first?"
Diss glanced around with disdain. "Even the Lord's Hall is so tiny here, let alone other places. It feels like a desert. How can we live here? It's so dirty."
When Kedeluo, who was behind the door, heard this, he became even more angry.
In the past, whenever this person came, he would always offer him fine food and wine, and give him the bedroom in his lord's hall. However, the other party either complained that the bedroom he gave up was too small, or ridiculed that his town was as big as a bird town.
In the past, he had endured it for the sake of the overall situation, but the appearance of Lin Muqiu brought about a big change in his mentality.
If you want others to respect you, you must first respect yourself, right?
What's wrong with small towns?
He couldn't help but sneer, "All the money earned in Ankang Town is used for village and town construction, unlike some territories where all the profits go into the pockets of certain lords! Besides, as far as I know, there are many dilapidated wilderness areas in your territory, and far more people have starved to death than in Ankang Town. It's just that you have never paid attention to it."
"You!" Di Si was so angry that he pointed at the door. After holding it in for a long time, he cursed unreasonably: "Which lord doesn't covet wealth and fame? What's wrong with secretly taking money into your own pocket? Besides, what does it have to do with me if those poor people die? It's just bad luck!"
Hearing this, the guards at Kedero looked at him with disdain. For the first time, they realized that nobles were nothing special. Scum was still scum, regardless of their status.
At this moment, even the way Dis's servants looked at him changed slightly.
They all came from poor backgrounds and hated high taxes. They used to think that Di Si was just stupid, spoiled and lawless, but now it seemed that he was clearly evil.
When Di Si turned around and saw the servant's gaze, he became even more angry. "Why are you looking at me? Go find a place to rest!"
He couldn't understand why Kedero, who had always been patient and unwilling to argue with others, seemed like a different person today?
Could it be that... the other party has a new backer?
His face froze, and he felt inexplicably frightened. He rode away on his flying beast. After all, he understood the principle that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
Looking at Di Si's hurriedly fleeing back, Kedero felt inexplicably refreshed.
Lin Muqiu changed him in so many ways.
Thinking of this, he took out the sound transmission stone that Lin Muqiu had given him and left her a message: "Someone may cause trouble for you, so be careful. The person is Di Si, the son of the lord of the neighboring town of Oez."
After finishing, Kedero sighed.
Obviously, Augustus is Augustine's younger brother, but Augustus is not as kind and humble as Augustine. Even when talking about business, they are polite and respect each other.
Unfortunately, Lord Oez was blind and only favored Di Si.
How great would it be if Augustine was the one favored?
*
Confused and frustrated, Di Si cursed as he walked, "My father shouldn't have let me come to this godforsaken place! He even said Lin Muqiu was important and told me to contact him anytime using the sound transmission stone. Bah! How can a commoner like me, a cook, be worthy of such a name! Even if I starve to death, I, Di Si, would never eat a single bite of food from this town!"
Although he said harsh words, he still had to find a place to rest.
After walking aimlessly for a long time, it was already dawn.
He followed the aroma and unknowingly came to a shop. The shop was crowded with people. It was actually made of ice houses. Many people were eating mashed potatoes and chatting:
"Oh my god! The adults are so nice! They even said that the store will be open 24 hours a day!"
"Who says it's not? If you can't go home sometimes, you can buy a potato tower and juice here and spend the whole night lying on the table. The adults won't chase you away!"
"Your Excellency is so kindhearted! So when will the new dishes be available?"
"I heard that tomorrow, the master will catch the chicken himself."
“…”
There was an ice screen outside, and it seemed like some drama was being performed. Many people wearing straw sandals and leading their children squatted outside, watching with enjoyment, and the summer breeze blew by, making them feel leisurely and relaxed.
It was like some childhood memory being recalled.
When Di Si saw this scene, he always felt that something seemed strange.
Obviously, this town is not big, and the shop is also small, but it seems to have an invisible magic that attracts everyone's attention, and there is happiness in the eyes of these people, which is something that is not found in his town.
He pursed his lips. Although he had seen ice screens before, he had never seen one with a plot, so he took a few more glances.
However, he couldn't stop watching it once he started. Not only did he read it with relish, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva while reading, completely forgetting his own "lofty ambitions".
A townsman happened to be watching nearby, so he smiled and whispered to his companion, "So the nobles like these too."
"Who cares!" Di Si was angry and embarrassed, but at that moment, he regretted it.
The scene from the movie rushed directly into his mind: that terrifying woman could actually fight against a level 30 warrior single-handedly, so terrifying...
Thinking of Kedero's strange attitude, he suddenly seemed to understand something. There must be a master in this town, maybe it's the owner of this shop!
Suddenly, he was afraid to speak and began to stammer, "Who cares... I, I really care."
Townspeople: “?”
Deece blushed and went straight into the store to avoid it. "I can rest here, right? Give me a potato tower and juice!"
Mario was on duty and apologized, "Juice is not available to non-residents of this town."
Di Si: “…”
Is there something evil going on today? Why is everything going wrong?
He wanted to say he didn't want it, but his stomach started to growl. He held it in for a long time, but the aroma tortured him and made him unable to refuse. For the first time, he knew how it felt when Kedero bought ice from their town, and he was even more unhappy.
The attendant beside him saw his gloomy face and immediately spoke up for him, "You little shop assistant, can you please have some good sense? Give us a portion of everything we can! We have money!"
Mario rolled his eyes, ordered a menu and went to the kitchen.
Di Si: “…”
I'm so angry, I suddenly don't want to eat
Thirty minutes later.
He ate with relish, his face covered in grease. As he ate, he asked, "Don't you have a staple food store here? It smells so good."
Admiring the strong mentality, he wanted to ask who opened this store and why it was so great, but he was so busy eating that he had no chance to ask.
It smells so good, hehe.

Meanwhile, in the suburbs.
Lind and Alex were joining several teams of gatherers to hunt a wild boar.
It took them a lot of effort to trap the wild boar, and many people were injured.
But fortunately, they were happy: they heard that Lin Muqiu wanted to open a staple food store, and maybe they could sell the animal meat to her.
Lind was tying up a wild boar when he sighed, "It's not easy being a forager like you! Summer disasters used to keep us from going out, but now we have ice powder and can go out. But because of the summer disasters, the crops we can collect are getting smaller and smaller!"
The injured forager nearby chimed in, "That's right! Otherwise, who would want to switch from being a gatherer to a hunter? In the middle of summer, the wild animals are getting more and more violent!"
After they finished their work, they picked up the prepared potato towers, mashed potatoes, ice jelly and other foods and started eating them with great enthusiasm.
Hunters have a high-risk, high-reward profession, and they are willing to spend more money to eat better.
Lind was eating his favorite French fries, but he felt a little hungry. "Alex, do you feel particularly tired today?"
Alex didn't even raise his eyes. "Have you forgotten? We are doing high-intensity physical activity. Without the supplementary effect of meat, our stamina will be depleted very quickly."
Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and started wailing loudly, hoping that Lin Muqiu's staple food would be ready as soon as possible, because the meat they cooked always had a strong fishy smell!

Lin Muqiu and Yun Yi are in the town of Oez.
After delivering the ice jelly to Augustine, they had a rare moment of free time, so they wandered around the village to experience the different customs and practices. However, although this place was a big town, it was lifeless and had been tormented by the summer disasters.
Yun Yi discovered a strange phenomenon: the ice jelly in this town was sold for 40 copper coins per portion, but he remembered that the owner sold the ice jelly to Augustine for 60 copper coins per portion?
Augustine actually lost money from reselling?
Seeing that he had doubts, Lin Muqiu laughed and said, "Actually, the reason is very simple. Let me ask you, how much does ice jelly cost in our town?"
"30 copper coins."
"If Augustine sells a bowl of ice for 60 copper coins in Oez and 30 copper coins in Ankang, and the average lower-class person only makes 30 copper coins a day... and ice jelly is a necessity in the summer, what do you think will happen?"
"This..." Yun Yi blinked, then suddenly slapped his head and understood. "If it were me, I would probably move to Ankang Town."
"Yes," Lin Muqiu patted his head, coaxing him like a puppy, "really smart. So Augustine took this into consideration and would rather lose money than sell at a lower price."
Yun Yi felt itchy on his head and felt even more embarrassed. He scratched his ear, thinking about something.
The owner is now selling a bowl of natural disaster-resistant juice for 10 copper coins. Is he trying to get others to settle down in Ankang Town?
Will the master's wish come true?
Will others cause trouble to the owner?
Yun Yi is just a system and doesn't know how to think about such complicated problems, but he wants to know everything about his master and wants to realize it for his master. Suddenly, his face became as worried as a bitter gourd and he tried his best to think.
Lin Muqiu saw him scratching his head and cheeks clumsily and was amused again. Just when he was about to coax him, he heard someone in the distance say:
"Is the ice jelly in Lin Muqiu's shop really only 30 yuan a bowl? And there's also fruit juice, which is only 10 copper coins?" Elizabeth and her husband, who was holding their daughter, asked anxiously.
There were many other townspeople around, and they also came over to listen to the sound.
In fact, if the price was 40 copper coins per bowl, Elizabeth's family could barely afford to eat one bowl every three days. However, because their daughter was weak and had suffered the trauma of losing their eldest son, they insisted on letting their daughter eat one bowl a day, and their savings were a little stretched.
Other families are desperately asking because the town has high tax rates and is too poor.
Allen patted his chest and said, "Of course! I'm selling things from door to door, don't you still trust me?! And Lord Lin said that when winter comes, we will also release products to resist winter disasters!"
Elizabeth asked many more questions about Ankang Town. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said to her husband, "Okay! I've decided. Let's settle down in Ankang Town!"
She is gambling.
They bet their lives and fortune on Lin Muqiu, betting that she would not let them down as the rumors said.
When these words were spoken, many people sighed. After all, Elizabeth's family was considered to be well off in the town. If their family was like this... Everyone's eyes changed, and they returned home in a daze, silently packing up their packages.
The journey is long and this trip will at least cost me some money, but I hope Lin Muqiu and her shop are worth it.
Lin Muqiu was satisfied seeing this scene and gave Allen a look.
Oversees completed, great job.
Allen couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips when he got the look. It was really good. Following Lin Muqiu, he could make much more money than before when he went to various towns to pick vegetables and work as a vendor.
Lin Muqiu didn't know that Augustine, whose name she mentioned, was having a heated debate with his father Oez.
