Chapter 033 Western Fantasy Town 24
Xie Yunsui asked Edmund to take the lead in building a few wooden houses for the children, right next to the apple orchard, and gave them a week's salary in advance so that they would have money to eat in the hotel.
After just a few days of eating well and sleeping well, I could feel that these children had grown stronger, their complexions became more rosy, and even their voices became more powerful.
When Neo heard the sound, he quickly put down the water scoop and rushed to the owner: "Owner!"
Seeing his energetic appearance, Xie Yunsui couldn't help but smile: "Nio, has your work been hard these days?"
"What's that?" Neo didn't think so. It was just watering the plants. Could it be harder than running around in a small town and still not being able to find one or two businesses?
Neo said, "We carefully water every seed every day. Shopkeeper, I've counted, and 104 seeds have already sprouted."
The germination rate of these apple seeds is 100%, but the growth stages vary.
Xie Yunsui nodded. "I see. They should all sprout in the next few days. A few days after that, we'll need to use pesticides."
Neo: "Yeah, we carry bug spray with us every day."
He patted the side of his belt, and sure enough, there was a piece of insect repellent the size of a bamboo tube tied on it.
Neo and his friends cherish this job very much. They will check the seed pits again after finishing their work every day. Whenever they find a green sprout in a pit, they will happily gather around it, say a lot of good things to praise the green sprout, and hope that it will grow up healthily.
Xie Yunsui said a few more words of encouragement, and when he saw that everything was normal in the apple orchard, he wanted to go back to the store.
Neo unconsciously took two steps forward.
Xie Yunsui seemed to realize something: "Anything else?"
Neo tugged at the corner of his clothes and mustered up his courage. "Shopkeeper, can we...can we grow some vegetables in the yard? We'll eat them ourselves and not sell them, and it won't interfere with the work in the apple orchard."
"Sure." Xie Yunsui laughed. "As long as you don't overwork yourself, you can eat the vegetables you grow yourself, or sell them to my shop like the other villagers."
"yeah!"
The children behind him jumped up with joy.
Xie Yunsui looked at them and seemed to be able to feel the vigorous vitality in them.
Well, it’s not impossible to live in this world for a hundred years.
The morning passed so slowly that Xie Yunsui wasted some more time.
"Hi! Charles." Mrs. Anita, who was washing vegetables by the stream, greeted him in a high-spirited voice.
Xie Yunsui: "Good morning, Anita."
"It's getting late, Charles." Anita was busy cleaning the lunch dishes. She looked at Xie Yunsui and said in a tone of experience: "Owner, do you want to hear about my love history?"
Xie Yunsui paused, feeling a bad premonition.
Little Pauline, helping her mother, gave him a shy but curious smile. "Charles, Uncle Edmund said you and Theodore are together, right?"
Xie Yunsui: "...Yes."
With such great kung fu skills, everyone in the village must know about it, right?
-
Any new news in the village will spread throughout the village in an instant.
Fortunately, everyone gave their blessings with good intentions, and all the married people dedicated their love history to Xie Yunsui free of charge.
Even the adventurers joined in and shared their experiences.
Xie Yunsui: "..."
When Theodore comes back, I must have a good chat with him.
Xie Yunsui maintained a romantic relationship with Theodore, and their daily interactions were almost the same as before.
In addition to their closer relationship, Theodore would occasionally stay overnight at Charles's shop.
The store's operations have also stabilized, with daily transaction volume reaching around 300 times.
Adventurers came and went in the village, and there was a lot of traffic. Some of them settled here temporarily to make money. Within a month or two, a tailor shop and a grocery store opened in the village. Edmund even opened a carpentry shop here because he had constant work.
Adventurers' lives have become more convenient.
Agnes used her savings over the years and some donations from the villagers to ask Edmund to build a five-story luxury hotel in the village, and continued to hire Anita as the hotel manager.
Anita's cooking skills got better and better. After asking Xie Yunsui for advice several times, she found that Xie Yunsui only knew a few dishes. Anita then researched new dishes based on her experience, and the taste was surprisingly good.
Her new dishes became so popular that they attracted foodies from surrounding towns to come and dine.
After Angelica finished her work in the royal capital, she came to Ika Village again, under the pretext of supervising whether the price of the magic apples in the store had increased. However, Xie Yunsui always felt that she came for Anita's cooking skills. She was the first one to rush into the hotel to eat every day at mealtime, and her speed was beyond the reach of other adventurers.
"Charles!" Theodore ran into the kitchen and saw Xie Yunsui preparing the ingredients. He put his arm around his waist from behind and said with a smile, "Uncle Nelson's chickens have grown up. There are more eggs than we can eat every day. Do you want to take them in?"
"Don't you want Anita?"
"She's been obsessed with grilled lamb chops lately and hasn't been using as many eggs as she should."
"Okay, let Nelson deliver it. I'll still charge the market price."
Xie Yunsui placed bananas and corn in the "magic juicer" he had just made, activated his magic power to light up the magic formation on the "juicer", and waited for two magic crystals to light up in succession. The juicer began to make a rumbling sound.
Theodore looked over and asked, "What is this?"
"I want to make a glass of banana corn juice, and this is the tool I developed."
Xie Yunsui went out once a month and often brought back some food that Theodore didn't recognize. Theodore eventually got used to it.
Although I have never seen a banana, I have heard of corn.
Grinding corn into powder and adding water can make a delicious paste. If you add bananas, will the taste become more fragrant?
Theodore looked forward to it a little.
"By the way, Theodore, I made a deal with Angelica. I will be learning swordsmanship from her in a couple of days."
Because Xie Yunsui had been misunderstood by Theodore when he was learning to make potions with Angelica before, this time Xie Yunsui took the initiative to explain the itinerary.
"Really? Pauline said she wanted to learn too, and Anita even paid Angelica two gold coins."
But this was far from enough to cover Angelica's tuition. Angelica liked Anita's cooking so much that she just accepted a little as a token of her appreciation.
The rumbling sound stopped, and a cup of fresh banana corn juice was ready.
Xie Yunsui first tried the poison himself, and the taste... was a very normal banana and corn juice taste. As expected, bananas go well with any juice.
He then gave it to Theodore to try without hesitation.
Theodore's eyes lit up after just one sip. The delicate taste did not leave any corn residue at all. Besides the corn, there was indeed a very fragrant flavor.
"Banana?" Theodore looked up.
Xie Yunsui took out a bunch of bananas, just like the mangoes and durians he had given to Theodore to taste before.
Theodore learned to peel a banana, and after just one bite, he ranked banana as his second favorite fruit after durian.
He has always been open to new flavors of fruits and especially likes durian.
He prefers to open durian. Before opening each one, he would guess how much durian flesh would be found in it. Even though Xie Yunsui said that there would be a guaranteed five pieces of durian, Theodore still enjoyed it.
However, Xie Yunsui had a flash of inspiration and organized a blind box opening event in the store, which triggered a blind box craze.
It is said that even the stores in the royal capital have started to engage in blind box activities, which has greatly promoted consumption.
Two days later, Xie Yunsui arrived at an open space in the village as agreed. This was the place chosen by Angelica to practice swordsmanship. It was empty and few people came.
As a result, when Xie Yunsui arrived, he was dazed for a moment when he saw the huge group of people here.
Angelica hugged Pauline and sighed inwardly.
As a renowned high-level swordsman, the news that she was going to teach swordsmanship spread like wildfire. Students from Klein Sword Academy rushed here overnight, and even adventurers who wanted to improve their abilities came here one after another.
The new hotel and the old hotel were full last night.
Anita's hands were almost rubbing sparks from cooking, so she quickly recruited two kitchen helpers from the village.
——Forget it, since they are here, we can’t just chase them away.
Besides, the conditions in Ika Village are like this, and there is no sword training ground that can withstand the sword energy.
Angelia resigned herself to her fate and gave Pauline a wooden sword.
Agnes took a look from a distance and quickly ordered Edmund to build a sword training ground.
Edmund looked at the endless list and the increasing amount of gold coins, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.
Ika Village is still the best, there are jobs everywhere.
-
"Okay, Ciel, your basic course is over."
Xie Yunsui put away his sword, but his breathing was still unstable.
After another two months of training, his physical fitness has improved in all aspects. When he looks in the mirror, he can see a list of conditions under his level bar, such as acumen, speed, strength, etc.
"Starting tomorrow, if you have time, go to Villanstai to practice with Warcraft." Angelica said.
Xie Yunsui nodded: "Any recommendations?"
Angelica said, "With your current abilities, it would be best if you challenge all the first-level monsters and become familiar with their attack methods. Only when you can handle them all can you be considered proficient in swordsmanship."
There are many types of first-level monsters, covering six major attributes, making them the perfect training objects.
Xie Yunsui glanced over the map of Vilanstei in his mind and had an idea in mind.
He smiled again, "I feel like my dodging is still quite clumsy. Is there any way to train me specifically?"
Angelica thought for a moment and said, "Throw sandbags?"
Xie Yunsui thought of the swift training that Angelica had given Pauline.
A circle was drawn for Pauline to stand inside, and ten people outside threw sandbags into the circle. As long as she could dodge all of them, she would pass the dodge training.
The sandbags were specially made, not heavy, and dipped in paint powder, so when they hit you, it would just leave a spot on your body.
Pauline came home a few days ago with spots all over her body and looked extremely miserable.
Xie Yunsui's face suddenly turned grim. "Is there any special training that can be done by one person, without being seen by others?"
Angelica thought of Theodore at his home and smiled knowingly: "Yes, but it's very painful and quite exhausting. But if you persist, maybe even I won't be able to hit you."
Xie Yunsui became interested: "Oh?"
