Chapter 013 Western Fantasy Town 4
"Want to cook for yourself?" Mrs. Anita was very nervous when she heard Xie Yunsui's words: "Is my cooking not tasty?"
Xie Yunsui's mouth twitched, and he almost told the truth.
Fortunately, he managed his expression well and smiled: "I haven't eaten hometown food for a long time. I want to make some myself."
Mrs. Anita was very touched: "If I leave the village, I will miss the taste of home."
She reached out and patted Xie Yunsui's shoulder, then left the kitchen.
Xie Yunsui rubbed his shoulders and took out the ingredients for cooking from the warehouse.
Theodore's eyes widened as he stood aside: "Xia, Xia Er, is this the legendary space prop?"
The little bee that stayed on the cuff as a decoration: ...
Xie Yunsui remained unmoved: "Yes, you have seen it too?"
Theodore shook his head. "I've only seen it in the pharmacy in Laizer Town. The pharmacist has a space backpack that she can take out a lot of things from. She said there are even more powerful space props, but they're too expensive for her to buy."
“I was lucky to get it.”
"Wow, Ciel, can I see it?"
Xie Yunsui smiled and reached out to lend him the little bee to have a look.
Little Bee: Playing dead.
"So beautiful!" Theodore held it carefully, not daring to touch it too much. He just looked at it and returned it to Xie Yunsui, then helped him wash the vegetables.
Xie Yunsui’s cooking skills are not that great, he can only cook some home-cooked dishes.
Scrambled bird eggs with tomatoes, homemade shredded potatoes, stir-fried pork slices with lettuce, and hand-shredded cabbage.
There is not enough time, otherwise Xie Yunsui would like to make tomato beef soup.
In the end, I just reprocessed the mushroom and bamboo shoot vegetarian soup from Desert Island World and ate it with toast.
The staple food here is almost always toasted bread made of wheat flour, and some people also eat boiled potatoes directly.
"There's no rice. I still can't eat rice."
Xie Yunsui felt very sorry.
"Wow!"
Theodore watched the dishes being served one after another, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration: "Charles' cooking skills are amazing."
Each dish has fresh colors and tastes delicious.
Xie Yunsui looked at him seriously and found that he was really praising her.
Then I thought about Mrs. Anita's cooking skills and felt that his compliment must be sincere.
Xie Yunsui said modestly, "It's very simple, just stir-fry it."
After using the kitchen, it was almost dinner time in the village.
Everyone works from sunrise to sunset, and when the sun sets, they make an appointment to come to the hotel for dinner.
"Oh? Is Ciel cooking today?"
In the past few days, Charles has also had some exchanges with the villagers who come here to eat. When everyone sees Charles in the kitchen, they gather around excitedly.
Xie Yunsui looked at the dozen or so people outside, then looked at his own four dishes and one soup, and thought something was wrong.
Mrs. Anita clapped her iron palm at the person who had just spoken in dissatisfaction, and said kindly, "I'm the one who cooked. Charles just borrowed the kitchen. Isn't my cooking delicious?"
"No, no, Anita's cooking is the best!"
The villagers knew what was happening and dispersed in a hurry.
Xie Yunsui couldn't help laughing.
Maureen yawned as she came down from upstairs. Seeing the crowd's expressions, she said in dissatisfaction, "Mom, are you bullying us again?"
"What bullying!" Anita was very afraid of her eldest daughter, and was most afraid that she would preach again, so she quickly tied on an apron and went to the kitchen.
Mo Lin went into the kitchen to help. Seeing Xie Yunsui's dishes, she couldn't help but exclaim, "They look delicious."
Anita snorted, unyielding: "What's the big deal? I can do it too."
She cut potatoes, imitating Xie Yunsui's way of shredding them, but she cut them very thickly. She cut a basket of potato strips in a row and put them directly into the pan to stir-fry.
Xie Yunsui couldn't stop him: "Wait..."
He first stir-fried the meat slices to release the oil and then stir-fried the shredded potatoes. He didn't even add any oil. Wasn't he just stir-frying them dry?
It turns out that even a simple dish of shredded potatoes requires cooking skills. Anita stir-fried the potato strips, half of which were burnt and the other half were still raw. Finally, she added water and cooked them, and then the villagers got a portion of mashed potatoes with a burnt smell.
There was also a plate of red and yellow tomato and bird egg soup, a plate of boiled lettuce and pork slices, and a plate of boiled cabbage.
Everyone looked at the dishes on their own tables, which formed a sharp contrast with the ones on Xie Yunsui's table, but they didn't dare to speak. They picked up the toast and started eating in silence.
It seems that from now on, we should let Mrs. Anita display her cooking skills normally.
Innovative dishes really test the relationship between villagers.
Xie Yunsui invited Theodore and Agnes to have dinner together. Halfway through the meal, when he was about to suggest leaving the village for the small town, he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside.
"Pharmacist! Pharmacist!"
"Is Sir Ciel here?"
"Help!"
When the people in the room heard the familiar name, they were stunned and rushed out to see what was going on.
This was another pair of adventurers, five in total including the one being carried. The adventurers followed the light and looked over at all the villagers.
The villagers consciously made way for Xie Yunsui who was eating in the innermost part.
Black hair, black eyes.
It’s him!
Hunter strode forward and knelt on the ground: "Lord Ciel, I heard that you have an exorcism ability comparable to that of an exorcist potion. Please save my companions!"
Xie Yunsui put down his fork and asked curiously, "Who told you that?"
"It's spread throughout the Adventurer's Guild. I heard there's a pharmacist in the village outside of Vilanste who can perform exorcisms. He has black hair and black eyes, and his prices are... fair."
Hunter swallowed the word "cheap".
Xie Yunsui knew that it was the previous adventurers who promoted him.
But he was not a pharmacist. It was just a lucky coincidence last time. And because he needed someone to take him away from Villansted, he just went with the flow and did not deny it.
He had wanted to go to the small town tomorrow to find out more about the world and see if he could get a permanent position as a pharmacist.
In this world, it seems that having a good reputation makes things easier.
However, there was no need to confess these thoughts. Xie Yunsui paused and planned to check the patient's injuries first.
Coincidentally, the person being carried had the same injury as Harold.
Xie Yunsui glanced at the Flame Winged Beast, whose hair was barely left in the hands of an adventurer, and asked, "It seems like a lot of people have been hunting Flame Winged Beasts lately?"
Hunter followed behind and explained, "The pharmacists in the capital need Flame Winged Beasts as ingredients for their potions, so the Adventurer's Guild has received many more orders for Flame Winged Beasts."
Many adventurers had no idea why, and some just looked at the glaring bounty and rushed to Villanstai.
Xie Yunsui was familiar with the technique and with just a wave of his hand, he absorbed the remaining demonic energy from the injured person.
Before the onlookers could react, the members of Hunter's team expressed their gratitude.
Xie Yunsui handed over a bamboo tube of bullfrog, sweet potato, and ginseng paste and said, "One gold coin."
Hunter quickly took out a gold coin from his pocket. After they heard that there was a pharmacist here, they prepared the money early. It would be best if it was not used, but it would be worth it if it was used. This would save much more money than buying an exorcism potion for three gold coins a bottle!
Besides, there was no exorcism potion for sale in the town of Laize. They would have to spend two days going to the town of Klein in the neighboring earldom to buy it.
In two days, all his companions died.
The adventurer who ate the bullfrog, sweet potato and ginseng paste woke up slowly, and his wounds gradually recovered. His condition was even better than that of his other two lightly injured companions.
Hunter took a look and felt that it wasn't enough to treat only one person, so he asked, "This potion...is it paste? Do you have any more? I'll buy two more."
Xie Yunsui glanced at him and said, "This is very expensive. If sold separately, it costs 50 silver coins per tube."
This bullfrog and sweet potato paste with ginseng only makes ten servings!
But you don't have to eat this, he has many other products that increase health value.
Xie Yunsui has always had a guess in his mind. Just adding 15 health points can make the adventurer's body almost healed. Are those with +1 health point also more powerful than he thought?
He pulled out an apple and a blueberry from his pocket, both of which gave +1 health.
Xie Yunsui said, "These two also contain... healing energy. Each is only one silver coin. Do you want one?"
Onlookers: ...
Aren’t those apples and berries that are everywhere?
Can this be sold for 1 silver coin?
They usually sell a basket of fruit for only a few dozen copper coins!
Hunter was also full of doubts. After all, from the outside, the apple and blueberry looked no different from what they usually saw.
However, due to his trust in Pharmacist Charles and the fact that he had just saved his companion, Hunter still took out two silver coins.
The adventurer with several deep scratches on his body got one each. The one who got the apple was slightly happy. At least he could eat a few more bites, right?
The person who got the blueberry threw it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice to taste it, and swallowed it.
Then I looked at the person who got the apple and munched on it. Just as I was about to roll my eyes, I felt a surge of energy in my body.
Hunter noticed it the fastest: "Leo! Your wound!"
The wounds on his body that were still oozing blood not only stopped bleeding, but were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Eric, who was chewing an apple, saw this and ate the apple in two bites.
Sure enough, his wounds healed quickly.
Hunter was so shocked that his two companions were healed by one fruit.
This...what are the blood-replenishing potions they spent a few silver coins to buy over the years?
What’s the point of spending a dozen silver coins to buy a recovery potion?
"Master Charles." Hunter hugged Xie Yunsui's thighs and sobbed, "How many apples and blueberries do you have? I'll buy them all!"
Xie Yunsui was silent for a moment: "Then you have to prepare one million gold coins."
Hunter: “…”
Suddenly I wasn't anxious anymore.
He cleared his throat and then asked something serious: "Will you stay in the village from now on?"
Xie Yunsui said: "I'm not sure, I was just passing by here."
Hunter was shocked: "Then you will leave here? Which town is your store located in? If we want to find you in the future, where should we go?"
His companions also stared at him without daring to breathe.
Xie Yunsui silently took two steps back: "Uh... I'm not sure yet."
uncertain?
Why are you so unsure about anything?
Hunter asked, "Wouldn't you consider staying in the village? This village is the closest to Villansted, and adventurers passing through here are bound to pass by. You won't lack business if you stay here."
Xie Yunsui was suspicious: "Since this is a transportation fortress, why are the people in the village so poor? Why do you rarely see people coming and going?"
The villagers behind him shed tears silently.
Hunter scratched his head: "I don't know either."
They just knew that there was a village here. Sometimes they would stay here for a night late at night to have a meal and get supplies. Because they were busy completing tasks, they didn't pay much attention to these things.
Agnes stepped forward and coughed twice. "Because we can't keep adventurers here. If we had a pharmacy, adventurers would stop here for treatment. If we had a blacksmith shop, adventurers would be willing to buy weapons here. If we had a market, adventurers would stay here longer to stock up on supplies."
Because there is nothing in the village and adventurers won't gain anything by staying here, it has always been unpopular.
Theodore whispered, “But we don’t have such talent, nor do we have the money to open a store.”
The adults in the village either go to Villanstai to make money and never come back, or go to the town to work. The money they earn is just enough to support their family and they cannot learn a skill or open a shop.
Alas, this is also the reason why Xie Yunsui likes this village very much but has to leave.
If you open a store here, there may not be much business volume.
The Wanjie Shop needs to obtain energy from the transaction volume. The more transactions there are, the more energy it can generate, regardless of the value of the transaction.
He should open a store in a densely populated metropolis to ensure that he can earn more energy points.
Hunter was very disappointed. What they said made sense. After all, even though it was dark now, they didn't want to stay in the village all night. They wanted to hurry back to the town and wait for the Adventurer's Guild to open early tomorrow morning so that they could hand over the goods in their hands.
However, he still spent all the silver coins he had and bought as many apples as he could.
Xie Yunsui took out a few apples from his pocket and gave them to him. Hunter stared at the pocket that could only hold one apple for a while, then said goodbye with a smile.
The villagers returned to the restaurant to eat one after another. The already unpalatable dishes became even more unpalatable after they got cold.
Theodore looked at Xie Yunsui reluctantly: "Are you leaving?"
Xie Yunsui smiled and nodded: "I've almost finished recuperating here, let's go to the town to take a look."
"Will you come back then?"
Xie Yunsui didn't know either. He had never seen this continent and didn't know if this village was the only one with such beautiful scenery. Maybe after he earned enough energy in a certain city, he would want to return to this village to rest for a while before leaving?
Maybe, just leave when you say so.
After all, he is not from this world.
He smiled again, but didn't give any affirmative response.
Theodore understood and lowered his head in frustration.
