Chapter 266 Actively Crossing Provinces
Lu Jiu felt that what Yong Lin said was very likely to happen. "That's true. If people from both sides frequently traveled back and forth, at least these two provinces would become more active."
Yao Bingan and the others had finished chatting and were all mounted on their mounts, ready to set off.
There were about thirty people in total, divided into two teams. More than a dozen mounts rose into the air, and the residents at the city gate watched them leave.
Lu Jiu crossed his arms, "It's only been a few days, and someone has already decided to go there. I thought we would have to wait a few more days before anyone would take action."
·
The departure of Yao Bing'an and the others inspired more people to go out and see the world, while Lu Jiu and the others went to Jidu City.
Coming to Jidu City again, the NPC patrols here are still frequent, and this time there are still NPCs guarding the city gate.
Zhuang Yun had already greeted the boss before coming, and he was now standing at the city gate waiting. They were very curious about the shrimps and props sold in Xuantian City.
The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Zhuang Yun, he immediately rushed forward and said, "Brother Zhuang, you're finally here."
Zhuang Yun politely shook his hand and said, "I'm here in no hurry to clear the jungle. These three are my teammates. They brought back the pearl item."
He pointed at Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng. The middle-aged boss glanced at the two pretty young girls and boys and said, "You are so promising young people. You can go to such a far place like Anshao Province without any hesitation. I have been there before when I traveled with my wife."
Speaking of which, I still feel a little nostalgic. At that time, he felt very dizzy after riding on a boat, and he felt listless for several days.
Zhuang Yun laughed. "It's very different there. It's very different from here."
The middle-aged boss nodded repeatedly, "That's right, come on, come and have a seat in my shop."
After entering the city, several people went straight to the boss's shop. The boss was an ordinary resident, but he learned forging skills and would research some interesting props to sell when he had nothing to do.
There were not many people in the store now, so they went to the lounge on the second floor.
Lu Jiu just looked around the store and found a lot of fishing tools, such as fishing nets and fishing cages, which were all quite effective.
"Is the boss experienced in fishing?"
The boss waved his hands and said, "No, I used to be a boat builder, so I was involved in making and repairing boats. Lately, I've been researching how to make a small boat, a wooden one."
Iron boats are more complicated to make, so try a wooden boat first.
Lu Jiu nodded thoughtfully. There was really no one in their city-state who could make a boat. It was still several managers of the forging shops who were researching it.
"If it's made, I'll definitely buy it."
The boss smiled and nodded, "Sure, sure."
Then Shen Jufeng took out some dried shrimp and a water-melting pearl. "As for dried shrimp, we can't sell too many because our city lord has already bought a lot. As for this water-melting pearl prop, as long as you hold it under your tongue, you can walk in the water as if it were flat ground, not much different from walking on land. There are also some other special costumes and small props from that place. Do you think you are interested?"
Of course the boss was interested. "Yes, yes, yes. I don't know how much you offer, but I'd like to buy some."
Shen Jufeng quoted a price, but of course he would not give him a suggested price. The prices in each city-state were not exactly the same, so it was the boss's freedom to decide how much to sell it for.
When the boss heard that the price was not expensive, even a little cheap, he immediately took out his savings and wanted to buy more.
After the deal was done, the boss kept nagging, "If I were a professional resident, I would go to Anshao Province myself."
When we were doing the transaction just now, the boss asked curiously about the situation over there, and only then did I realize how interesting it is there now.
Lu Jiu: "Maybe one day you can really go by yourself, but the time is not right yet. Just like our ancestors never thought of flying to the sky, but eventually they realized it."
When the boss heard this, he realized it was indeed the case and said, "I've been looking forward to this day too."
Since they were in Jidu City, Lu Jiu naturally took her three teammates to the stall she had been to before, which specialized in ice cream.
But today the mother was alone, and the little boy went out to collect food.
After seeing Lu Jiu, the proprietress was a little surprised. Lu Jiu ordered four ice creams and gave the proprietress a melted pearl before leaving, saying it was a gift for her child.
Before the proprietress could refuse, they had already walked away.
When the little boy came back, he found the melted water pearl and learned from his mother the function of this prop. He kept the treasure and prepared to keep it close to his body every day.
The next day, the little boy said goodbye to his mother and left the city.
The boss who was doing business with Lujiu had already started selling dried shrimps and pearl items, but the prices were slightly higher than those in Xuantian City.
The little boy gathered with his friends. They often collected food together and sometimes went to collect herbs.
When passing by the lake, the little boy touched the pocket of his shirt, wondering if he could really breathe and move normally in the water like a fish if he went into the water with the props in his mouth.
One of the little girls saw him in a daze and asked, "Chenchen, what are you looking at? Do you want to go fishing?"
She knew that many adults had been able to catch big fish there recently. Her father had also caught one, and the fish soup he cooked when he got home was particularly delicious.
The little boy called Chenchen shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm just looking at the scenery. Let's go and catch up."
He decided not to do anything dangerous like that, so as not to make his mother worry.
·
Later, on the same provincial channel, someone said that someone from Yangshan City had been to Anshao Province, which caused heated discussion.
[Ruan Fanyao] (Channel from the same province): Which warrior went directly to An Thao Province? Are dried shrimps really that delicious?
[Jiang Xiao] (from the same provincial channel): Yangshan City is amazing. Has anyone tried the effects of Rongshui Pearls?
[Cheng Yunshi] (Channel from the same province): I am a resident of Xuantian City, Jinjiang District, Yangshan City. I have tried Rongshui Pearls and they really work!
[Ruan Fanyao] (Channel from the same province): Sister, could you please describe it in detail? I’m very curious now.
Cheng Yunshi saw the follow-up question in the channel and continued to answer.
[Cheng Yunshi] (Same provincial channel): At first I could feel it when I held it under my tongue, but when I went into water, the pearl seemed to disappear. However, I could breathe and move normally in the water. If it weren't for the fish tail, I would have thought I had turned into a mermaid.
Jiang Xiao (from the same province): Ahhh! I'm so envious! I want to try my hand at meltwater pearls, too. No, I really want to go to Anshao Province right now!
[He Miaomiao] (Same province channel): +1
[Guan Xie] (same province channel): +2
【Fan Heng】(Same province channel): +10086
…
Now the whole of Long Province is talking about going to An Thieu Province. Some want to buy some food and props to resell, while others are simply curious about the living environment there.
From this moment on, residents of Long Province and Anshao Province began to travel frequently, and those city-states that were originally not far from Anshao Province simply took action immediately.
·
Ding Jiayi, who was far away in Anshao Province, was resting. Since Cheng Yuan was dealt with, the cancer of Anshao Province was removed, and the whole province became much quieter.
Before she could rest for long, her deputy city lord came running in, "Jia Jia, someone from Long Province has arrived again!"
Ding Jiayi slowly turned her head: "So fast?"
