Chapter 149: Welfare of Honglian Village
"Brother Shen, have you chosen yet?"
Seeing the big guy Shen Tu squatting in front of the cloth stall, looking at this and pinching that like a mouse in a rice jar, and seeing that Pei Yu and the others didn't object, he boldly reached out to pick up the cloth and weigh it. He didn't stand up for a long time, which made the people queuing behind him complain and kept yelling at him to hurry up.
Pei Yu was really impatient with this big guy who looked straightforward and honest but was actually fussy. Why was a grown man so slow when buying things?
Even Dou Xing, who was also from Honglian Village, frowned when he saw it, and Xu Le slapped his hand in the face.
But Shen Tu himself didn't feel anything. When the shouting behind him was just air, he pointed at the things on the cloth stall, looked at them carefully, asked questions, and had a lot of fun.
Only when Pei Yu asked did he stop comparing the small and medium greens in his hand. Unsatisfied, he placed the slightly larger one into the large wooden basket beside him and said, "Almost done. Brother, please help me calculate how many energy coins this is worth. Is it over one million?"
Seeing that the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes seemed quite sincere, Pei Yu's irritable expression eased a little.
Then click on the system computer to help calculate.
Thirty apples are 105,000 energy coins at wholesale price, 100 small green vegetables are 50,000 energy coins at wholesale price, plus ten boxes of Danmu soft candy are 5,000 energy coins, white radish is 10,000 energy coins,
"One million is agreed. The total is one million and four thousand three hundred and sixty energy coins."
Shen Tu grinned happily, "It seems that my calculations are just right. The village will provide one million, and I will provide 4,360 energy coins myself."
His eyes sparkled as he confidently shouted to Dou Xing who was watching over there, "Give me one million energy coins. The village chief said the energy coins will come from you."
Then he laughed and shouted to Xu Le beside him, "You kid, find a brother to carry this basket back. It has seasonings and other ingredients in it. Go back today and ask Peng Da to cook for us. Didn't that kid often say that he was a mid-level chef before he came to Exile Star?"
"Alright." Xu Le immediately jumped up with joy, squeezed through the crowd, hugged the big wooden basket with both hands, and said with sparkling eyes, "Brother Tu, there's no need to call anyone, I can move it by myself."
Shen Tu looked at his small arms and legs, frowned with concern, turned his head to look around, and saw no other people from Honglian Village except Dou Xing, who had a cold face as if he owed him eight million.
He tutted his words and said, "I'll help you lift it, so you don't ruin this thing worth a million."
He asked Xu Le to wait for him for a moment, then turned around and handed over the 4,360 energy coins himself, and asked Pei Yu to ask Dou Xing for the remaining one million.
Pei Yu was not worried that he would default on his debt. After all, he was from the Red Lotus Village, one of the three major forces in Chaos City. Everyone knew him, so he was not worried that they would not pay the energy coins. So he waved his hand and told him to leave, and asked Yunhe to ask Dou Xing for the money.
Shen Tu was also quite satisfied. He grinned, raised his muscular arms, and walked out with Xu Le carrying the wooden basket, attracting countless excited, envious, greedy and curious eyes along the way.
Shen Tu and Xu Le let them watch, with their necks raised high. Humph, the welfare in their Honglian Village is pretty good.
People outside the crowd were jumping for joy. The other people from Honglian Village who hadn't squeezed in saw Shen Tu and the other man carrying a basket of things out, and immediately came forward excitedly to greet them.
"Brother Tu, Brother Tu, these fruits and vegetables are really fresh."
The big guys couldn't hold back the serious expressions on their faces anymore, and stretched their necks to look into the frame in a funny way.
Shen Tu raised his neck and said, "Of course, I checked it myself, there is absolutely no mistake."
Xu Le also nodded proudly, "That's right. With Brother Tu's sharp eyes, who can lie in front of him?"
The big guy's men's eyes lit up, their expressions excited. "That's great! I heard that our village bought this for us to eat. Can we eat it tonight?"
Shen Tu smiled happily, "We can eat it, we can eat it. The fruits can be kept for three to five days, but these vegetables can't be kept for a long time. We will definitely be able to eat them tonight. Come on, don't block the way. Xu Le and I are busy delivering the things back to the village."
Several big guys came over with flattering expressions, and said cheerfully, "Why bother Brother Tu with moving things? I can do it."
"Yes, yes, let's do it."
Shen Tu knew what these big guys were thinking, so he snorted, "I'll do it myself. I bought an apple for the village chief, and I have to deliver it to him personally. This is the first apple to appear in Chaos City, and I must give it to the village chief."
After hearing what he said, the big guys felt regretful, but they didn't dare to snatch it from him.
However, someone still took the opportunity to ask, "Brother Tu, are we still going to hold the selection of the wife of the leader of the village? No one came to vote for them."
The smile on Shen Tu's face froze. Oops, he was so happy shopping that he forgot about this.
Glancing at the dozen or so beautiful girls on the stage, he frowned, still feeling that none of them could compare to Miss Yun who was selling apples just now.
So he shook his head in disdain and said, "Isn't Dou Xing handling this matter? You can ask him."
"Ah, but the village chief just gave an order, asking Brother Lou to take people to the north to fight the berserk beast. Brother Dou is Brother Lou's right-hand man, so he should go with Brother Lou." The big subordinate scratched his head and guessed foolishly.
Shen Tu's eyes suddenly lit up. "When are we going to fight the Berserker?"
"The village chief said that the incident happened suddenly and the situation is critical, so he asked Brother Lou to leave in the afternoon."
Shen Tu immediately beamed, his face lit up with joy. "Okay, okay, let's go in the afternoon. Let's go in the afternoon. That kid Dou Xing just relies on his youth and ability. This time, we must make him use his abilities and kill more berserker beasts."
"As for the selection of the chief consort," he glanced at the stage. "You guys keep an eye on her first. I'll go back and ask the village chief if we should proceed."
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Tu."
Shen Tu hummed a little tune and carried the treasure in a big wooden basket towards Honglian Village, with a happy expression on his face all the way.
Dou Xing spent money but couldn't eat anything, hahaha, he was so happy.
Outside the bustling crowd, a few girls on the selection stage were whispering to each other, some excitedly speculating that they might be able to get some of the fruits and vegetables. They were considering whether to go and ask the ferocious guards of Honglian Village, when Dou Xing squeezed out of the crowd with a sour face and empty hands.
His rebellious face was furrowed, and he looked around and asked irritably, "Where's that guy Shen Tu?"
