Chapter 015 Western Fantasy Town 6
After walking a few steps, Xie Yunsui noticed a group of people following behind him, and turned around to look at everyone.
The leader was the bearded man who had first spoken to him. He looked around, stepped forward, and asked, "Does your team still need to form a team?"
The person behind him looked at him expectantly.
Generally, an adventurer team consists of four to six people. If there are more, the money earned will not be enough to be divided. Hunting the Flame Winged Beast requires more than ten people. They thought that if Xie Yunsui's team still needs to hunt the Flame Winged Beast, they can consider teaming up with their team.
Xie Yunsui shook his head: "We won't be going to Vilanste for the time being."
At that moment, everyone's face showed a look of disappointment.
Seeing that they were all right and didn't seem to be planning to do anything wrong, Xie Yunsui said goodbye in a friendly manner and walked towards the Pharmacists' Union inside.
The further you go in, the quieter it becomes, and the shops on both sides of the street have become herb and spice vendors.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
A lady with big wavy aqua hair stood behind the counter, serving customers with a big smile.
The lady was wearing glasses. She took a quick look at the black-haired, black-eyed man in front of her. He had fair skin and a handsome face, like the son of an aristocrat. However, his clothes were very simple and did not look like the material that a rich man would wear.
Wait, the fluctuations in his body are...
Selina asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, are you a pharmacist?"
Xie Yunsui then withdrew his gaze from the union and smiled, "Not yet."
He saw a lady hurriedly walking by in a long robe that covered her. At first glance, the robe looked like a straight skirt, very similar in style to Xie Yunsui's cowhide coat (dress).
Is this the pharmacist? No wonder those adventurers mistook him for a pharmacist at first. Is this the pharmacist's uniform?
Xie Yunsui didn't know that the pharmacist wore a long robe to maintain his secrecy. He just felt that he was lucky enough to have bumped into such a powerful person as soon as he arrived.
"I heard that magic power can be detected here, is that right?" Xie Yunsui asked.
"……Yes."
Selina hesitated to speak, thinking to herself, this gentleman is already an adult, but hasn't he undergone magic test yet?
Children in large families are tested at birth.
For the children in the orphanage, the first thing they do after leaving the orphanage when they turn eight is to come to the Pharmacist's Union for a free magic test. Children with magic will be taken away by the Pharmacist's Union and given free education.
Fortunately, she had just sensed the magical fluctuations from Xie Yunsui. Selina laboriously moved out a large stone slab. There was an oval depression in the center of the stone slab, and six crystal gems of different colors on the four corners and both sides.
Selina said, "Just put your hand in the middle."
Xie Yunsui stretched out his hand tentatively and began to slowly release energy.
The six gems evenly emitted a lustrous light, and then a light green gem suddenly emerged, shining exceptionally brightly.
Selina's expression changed and her eyes widened. Seeing this, Xie Yunsui stopped releasing energy.
"You have a magic attribute with an affinity for the wood element. I've never seen such a vast amount of magic. Perhaps your magic has already reached the level of an intermediate pharmacist," Selina said in surprise. "Those with an affinity for the wood element have the highest potential for development among pharmacists. If you need help, I can connect you with the Pharmacist Academy in the Royal Capital."
The experienced Selina was so dazzled by the unusually shiny green gem that she didn't notice anything unusual about the other five gems.
People who have an affinity with magic will make the gems emit a faint glow, as if covered with a layer of mist. However, to truly meet the standard, the light of the gems needs to dispel the mist. The stronger the magic, the brighter the light emitted.
But looking at the other five gems, they all have fluorescent colors, but they appear too dim against the backdrop of the green gems.
As the owner of the Wanjie Shop, Xie Yunsui has a different feeling from Selina's cognition.
The five gems seemed to take turns sucking away his energy, each one clamoring for more.
Because the energy absorbed before was the essence of ginseng's wood spirit, the green gem absorbed the most energy among these gems, as if it had seen a relative from its hometown.
Xie Yunsui registered with the Pharmacists' Union and politely declined Selina's offer to help him contact the Royal Capital Academy, the lord, the mayor, and the union manager.
Selina lamented: "Only by receiving a good education can one become a better pharmacist."
"Don't you say that as long as you pass the pharmacist assessment, you can become a qualified pharmacist?" Xie Yunsui asked.
Serena: "Yeah, how can I take the test if I don't study?"
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "I want to learn it by myself first."
He heard from the village chief Agnes that it would take at least ten years to complete the courses at the Pharmacist College.
The college is responsible for all students, and the curriculum always has to pay more attention to some lagging students. Therefore, it is not suitable for Xie Yunsui. What he needs are all the books for the entire course.
And it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a teacher who can occasionally guide him through his doubts.
He is a shop owner whose main business is running a shop, and he learned these things purely out of curiosity.
"You need to buy all the books for the course at a grocery store near the academy. There's no pharmacist academy in Leize. The nearest academy is in Klein, a town in the neighboring earldom. It takes two days to get there by carriage."
Xie Yunsui was silent for a moment: "Can you buy it for me?"
Selina: "Huh?"
…
After learning that the Pharmacists' Union did not have any purchasing agency business and did not sell related professional books, Xie Yunsui's interest was greatly reduced. After obtaining a silver triangle badge with a light green gem in the middle, Xie Yunsui planned to go shopping in the town's market.
Cabbage stalls, purple eggplant stalls, tomato stalls, white bakeries, cake shops, barbecue shops, sandwich shops...
Smelling the aromas coming from all directions, I was mentally evaluating where to go for lunch today.
Xie Yunsui glanced at the many stalls and suddenly stopped.
"Sir, would you like some pancakes? They're 10 coppers each. They're made with finely sifted wheat flour and topped with good chocolate peanut butter. They're delicious."
Xie Yunsui looked at it for a long time. "One copy, thank you."
The last time he ate it, he thought the taste was strange, wondering how could there be sweet pancakes. He then finished all the sweet ones. This opened the door to a new world for Xie Yunsui, who had only ever eaten Jianbing Guozi.
Although it is strange, it tastes surprisingly good and not greasy.
The stall owner deftly scooped up a ball of wheat flour paste and spread it on an iron plate as big as a washbasin. The thin wheat flour paste gradually gave off a wheat flour aroma. When the edges became a little crispy, he turned the pancake over.
Up to this point, the stall owner's method was the same as Xie Yunsui's memory of making pancakes.
But then, the stall owner used a small spoon to scoop half a spoonful of chocolate peanut butter and spread it evenly on the crust. This technique must be worth 5 copper coins.
Fold the dough into a triangle that fits your needs and wrap it with baking paper to make a thin pancake.
The still hot pancakes exude the aroma of chocolate, and you can vaguely see the flowing chocolate sauce.
Xie Yunsui happily paid 10 copper coins for this delicious treat and eagerly took a bite. Hmm? Did it taste different?
The cold chocolate peanut butter and the hot molten one have two completely different flavors, but both seem good?
He took two bites and found it was not very elegant to eat on the road, so he turned and walked into a restaurant. A handsome waiter came up to him and asked what he wanted to order. Xie Yunsui sat in a seat against the wall and looked through their wooden menu.
"A cup of black tea and an apple pie."
I've been running around all morning and finally I can sit down and enjoy a proper lunch.
There were not many customers in the restaurant, and no other customer came in until Xie Yunsui finished eating.
Xie Yunsui recalled the taste of the apple pie. It was similar to the one Theodore had brought him before, both were equally unpalatable.
Might as well eat pancakes, not as good and more expensive.
The black tea with milk tastes okay, but people who come here for lunch may not want to go out with a belly full of hot tea.
Turning the corner, a large wooden sign came into view.
"Sophia's tailor shop?"
He looked down and realized he was still wearing Theodore's ill-fitting clothes.
Xie Yunsui borrowed two sets of clothes from him when he was in the village, and he has been wearing them these days.
Neither Theodore nor the village chief had ever charged him any money. After thinking it over, Xie Yunsui decided to buy two new sets and return them.
"Hello, sir, Sophia is at your service."
The owner, Ms. Sophia, came to greet us personally. She was young, probably in her early thirties, and had a calm and peaceful aura about her.
Xie Yunsui explained his purpose: "I want to buy a few sets of clothes, and also have two more made to fit my size."
Sophia nodded slightly and offered to take his measurements.
Xie Yunsui stretched out his arms rather stiffly. Fortunately, Sophia was quick to note down his measurements and then recommended two ready-made clothing styles for him.
"This is a style favored by gentlemen. Perhaps you have a style you prefer?"
"Make two sets of this kind, and two sets of daily use..."
Xie Yunsui carefully communicated with Sophia about the style he wanted: two sets of clothes for formal occasions, two sets of casual clothes for daily life, two sets of sportswear, and a few sets of comfortable pajamas.
There were some styles that Sophia had never heard of, so Xie Yunsui drew some rough designs for her based on his memory.
Sophia understood it immediately.
And because he provided the new style, this part of the money was waived. In the end, including the two sets of clothes for Theodore, the total cost was only about ten silver coins.
Sophia said, "The construction will take about a week, and half of the deposit must be paid first."
It was already very fast that the clothes were made in just one week. Xie Yunsui nodded, paid the deposit, and decided to find a hotel to stay in first.
night.
Xie Yunsui lay on the big bed in the hotel and asked Little Bee, "What kind of store do you think is suitable for me to open?"
The little bee asked curiously, "The owner has looked around the town today. Is there no store he wants to open?"
"Opening a shop requires costs. I only have meat and fruit, and the variety is very limited."
Little Bee thought for a moment and said, "Didn't Whitebeard and that little golden retriever praise the owner's cooking? Doesn't the owner want to open a restaurant?"
"My cooking skills are average, but they thought it was delicious. Partly because it was their first time trying it, and partly because they were being polite."
Xie Yunsui has a clear understanding of his craft.
It's fine if he can just eat there, and if he has time to study, maybe he can improve his cooking skills, but it's still overestimated that he can open a restaurant with his current level.
After all, he was not familiar with the tastes of the native residents of this world. If he just followed his own taste, he might end up like the apple pie he was eating today.
The little bee also sighed.
Little Bee said, "I can give you some examples of the shops opened by previous shop owners for your reference."
The previous owner of the shop loved to make clothes by measurements, and all of his shops were clothing stores.
The previous owner had experienced many worlds, but because Fairy Wei Ling had the ability to taming beasts, he diligently raised furry animals in every world and did business of selling the beauty of furry animals.
The previous store owner was a warmongerer. The worlds he chose were either in war or about to be in war, and all he sold were hot weapons.
The first three shop owners all have their own characteristics. The first one relies on his own craftsmanship, the second one relies on furry breeding, and the third one relies on shameless plundering. In short, they have no serious reference value.
It seems...it all depends on what the shop owners like.
Xie Yunsui doesn’t know what he likes. Does hoarding count?
Xie Yunsui was lost in thought, playing with the gold coins unconsciously, when suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.
“I know what kind of store I want to open!”
