Chapter 024 Western Fantasy Town 15
"Theodore, I'm going out to make deliveries for the next three days. Could you please help me look after the store?"
Xie Yunsui pulled out the carriage and said to Theodore who came to take over the shift.
Only then did Theodore remember that the vegetables he bought were to be given to a shop called Wanjie Shop.
Theodore nodded obediently: "Okay, I will work hard."
"Don't be so nervous. I'll leave the little bee here. If any bad people break the rules, it will punish them on my behalf."
The exquisite silver bee is placed safely on top of the shelf, and its perspective encompasses the entire store.
Camera Bee: ...Finally back to my job.
Xie Yunsui left it for another reason.
Apart from himself, only the little bee can open the Shop of All Worlds. No matter where Xie Yunsui is, as long as he opens the Shop of All Worlds and goes in, and then lets the little bee open the shop, Xie Yunsui can flash back home.
This time he went out, he was not going to deliver goods, he planned to go to Villansted.
After Xie Yunsui brewed potions day and night, his level has now been raised to level 15. Recently, he clearly felt that brewing potions could no longer give him "experience". He encountered a bottleneck in upgrading, so he planned to kill a few monsters to gain some experience.
This level is neither high nor low. If he hadn't used the energy of the Myriad Worlds Shop to conceal his level, making the adventurers mistakenly believe that he was a powerful figure whose level they couldn't see through, these adventurers would definitely not be so polite.
The level must be improved. As time goes by, you will always encounter people of higher levels. If even they cannot see through Xie Yunsui's level, you will inevitably be questioned.
No matter how high the level is, there is a limit, right?
After the carriage traveled for a distance, Xie Yunsui put the carriage into the Wanjie Shop and walked towards Vilanste with a long sword in hand.
The map that the little bee had surveyed before was of great use. Xie Yunsui carefully avoided the territory of the second-level monsters and came to an area of first-level water monsters with not very high lethality.
Very good, I will use you to practice today.

"Excuse me, is the store manager here?"
There was a shout from the door. Theodore, who was reading in the reading area, stood up and walked to the door: "The manager is not here now... is it you?"
The person before him was the lady who looked very powerful, whom Theodore had met in the Adventurer's Guild.
Angelica recalled Theodore's memory and raised her lips slightly: "Hello, I'm Angelica."
Theodore smiled back, "I'm Theodore."
Charles once said that anyone coming from afar is a guest, and as long as they step into the store, they must be treated well.
He made a pot of black tea for Angelica and asked her what she wanted to buy.
While Theodore was busy, Angelica scanned all the items in the store at a glance.
The main thing is that there aren't many things. One shelf is full of seed packets, and the price is ridiculously low, only 1 copper coin. On the other side are crimson potions and apples.
"Is this a blood-replenishing potion?"
Theodore said, "Yes."
Angelica glanced at the price and said, "The fixed price of the blood-replenishing potion in the pharmacy is 12 silver coins. Why is it only 5 silver coins here?"
Over the past few days, Theodore had only seen adventurers get ecstatic the moment they saw the price, and then pay for the medicine without saying a word, fearing that they would raise the price, but no one ever asked why the price was so low.
He recalled what Ciel had said when the potion was put on the shelf, and said slowly, "Our shop owner said that the cost of making the blood-replenishing potion is only 4 silver coins, and the remaining 1 silver coin is his production fee."
Angelica was surprised: "He only added 1 silver coin to the production fee?"
Angelica is a high-level pharmacist. She knows very well that when brewing potions, pharmacists need to spend a lot of magic power to blend herbs and materials, and also need great concentration. Some pharmacists even have to take energy potions to brew a pot of medicine.
The production fee is only 1 silver coin?
What’s the difference between this and selling potions to adventurers for free?
Angelica wanted to get to know Charles even more. What kind of sucker (crossed out) good man is he?
Unfortunately the owner was not there.
Angelica asked, "When will the owner come back?"
Theodore: "About three days later."
Angelica: “…”
You came at the wrong time.
But I'm here now.
Angelica turned around and booked a room at the village inn.
Mrs. Anita sent her youngest daughter Pauline over to ask if she wanted to provide some food.
Angelica's space bag was filled with delicious food. Looking at Pauline's cute little face, she lowered her voice unconsciously: "Okay, what's there to eat?"
Pauline smiled. "Shredded potatoes! Shredded cabbage!"
Anita has been studying Charles' recipes for some time. After several instructions from Charles, she has mastered the cooking of stir-fried shredded potatoes and shredded cabbage.
However, stir-fried pork with lettuce and scrambled eggs with tomatoes require certain ingredients, and Anita has not yet mastered them.
Angelica has tasted delicacies from all over the continent, but this was her first time eating fried shredded potatoes. She scooped up a spoonful with a spoon, and a few stubborn shredded potatoes slid down, leaving only one in the spoon.
She changed her fork, picked up a few pieces with some effort, and put them into her mouth.
Angelica: “Hmm?”
The potato shreds fried in a thin layer of oil have a crisp and refreshing taste, and are seasoned with just a little salt and pepper, so you can taste the aroma of the potatoes themselves.
The texture and taste are very different from steamed or baked potatoes dipped in cheese sauce.
It’s delicious!
The hand-shredded cabbage also has a crisp texture, mixed with a light garlic flavor, and is crispy and tender.
Anita had just brought out the toast when she saw Angelica struggling to finish half of two dishes with her fork. She smiled cheerfully and said, "Don't worry, there's plenty of food."
She found that even two dishes came together faster than making a big pot of vegetable soup.
This saved her a lot of time. When Pauline had nothing to do, she would tear cabbage at home and enjoy it.
Ever since she mastered the art of making these two dishes, few villagers like the vegetable soup anymore, and they almost take turns ordering these two dishes.
Not only the villagers, but also the adventurers who came to the inn to eat, who originally just wanted to have something hot, fill their water bags and leave, but after tasting these two dishes, they actually stayed overnight just to have an extra meal.
The hotel's revenue has increased significantly in recent weeks.
Anita was thinking about asking Charles about a few new dishes.
The cabbages and potatoes in the field are almost eaten up, but other vegetables are still growing lushly.
Angelica devoured her meal in a flash, finishing a small basket of toast along with the vegetables. After a brief moment of relaxation, she said, "I want to extend my stay. For another week!"
I didn’t expect that there would be such delicious food in this small place!
It is obviously just a common vegetable, and the seasoning is not rich. There is no rosemary, thyme, or coriander, but it tastes very satisfying.
If she hadn't been full, she would still...
No, she wasn't full.
Angelica took her sword and went to the yard to practice two sets of sword techniques to help digest the food.
Pauline hid behind the gate, watching with wide eyes and fascination.
-
Three days later.
Xie Yunsui drove the carriage back to Ika Village.
Theodore would go out from time to time and look towards the village entrance. When he saw the shadow of a carriage from a distance, he would come out to greet it.
Theodore led the horse over and was about to ask Charles if he had encountered any fun things or eaten any delicious food on this trip, but when he turned around, he saw that Charles' face was pale and his eyes were dark blue, and he was shocked.
"Ciel...you look terrible. What happened? Were you robbed by bandits?"
Xie Yunsui rubbed his brows and tried to put on a soothing smile: "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well for two days."
Looking back on the three days of "battle", I feel a sense of frustration that I want to complain but don't know how to complain.
He overestimated himself, thinking that with the energy provided by the Ten Thousand Worlds Shop, he could fight these monsters back and forth.
Don’t mention “some”, in fact there was only one monster chasing him, and he even had a hard time getting back.
The experience of fighting the wild bull in the deserted island world was like a child fighting an Ultraman toy, and then coming to this world, it was like fighting the real Ultraman.
Despite being in a miserable state, Xie Yunsui did not choose to retreat.
Every time I was being chased, I would hide in the Wanjie Shop, and then when the monster gave up chasing me, I would suddenly come out and give it a sword.
With just one sword strike after another, he painstakingly killed the first water monster.
So tired.
This water-based monster has a layer of sticky liquid on its body, so you can't get close to it. You also have to be careful of its occasional water spray attacks. Although the sprayed water doesn't cause any additional damage, it's still uncomfortable to fight in wet clothes.
While fighting, Xie Yunsui observed the weaknesses of the water monsters and then summarized his experience.
The battle was difficult in the early stages, and there was not even a piece of intact meat on the monsters that were barely hunted. Xie Yunsui was thinking about how to better hunt monsters even in his dreams.
Three days passed in a flash. Xie Yunsui killed a total of five water monsters and his level increased by two levels.
If Xie Yunsui hadn't agreed on a time with Theodore, he really wanted to move into Villanstai.
He followed Theodore into the village and said, "I bought another cow. Theodore, please send it to the inn for me. Ask Mrs. Anita to help cut it up. The beef will be distributed to the villagers. Everyone works hard on the farm..."
Over the past month, everyone has been selling vegetables from their fields to Xie Yunsui and making a lot of money, but few villagers have used the money to improve their meals.
The villagers were all very skinny, and Xie Yunsui couldn't stand it, so he decided to get some meat for everyone every month under the pretext of delivering goods.
Anyway, his cows don't cost money.
"Uh..." Theodore hesitated for a moment, then told him, "Everyone shouldn't be short of meat these days."
Xie Yunsui: "Hmm?"
The story begins when Angelica falls in love with Anita's cooking.
After eating five consecutive meals of shredded potatoes and shredded cabbage, Angelica asked Anita if she had any other recipes. Anita said she could also make scrambled eggs with tomatoes and meat and lettuce, but without eggs or meat.
Angelica immediately rushed to the town and looted wild boar meat and goat meat, and also bought a large basket of pheasant eggs, wild duck eggs and bird eggs.
Anita was shocked.
Anita said embarrassedly that her cooking skills were not very good yet and the food might not taste good. Angelica said that it was no problem and that these ingredients could be used for practice and she would buy more after they were used up.
Then Anita started her journey to improve her cooking skills. The first dozen or so times she cooked, the taste was average, either burnt or too much water was added. So these dishes didn't taste very good, but because the ingredients were precious, Anita couldn't bear to throw them away, so she gave them to the villagers to eat.
Villager: ...
It’s okay, I’ve been doing this for so many years.
What's more, these dishes contain meat.
After tasting it again, it was similar to the vegetable soup I had before, a little burnt at best, but not inedible.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
Xie Yunsui: "Who is Angelica?"
