Dwarf Tavern
Ye Miaomiao handed the porridge that Zhang Jiajia had specially left for her to Bell. The smell of the hot porridge immediately made Bell's eyes as big as soybeans widen, and he couldn't help but look at the white rice porridge in front of him mixed with bacon and mushrooms and sprinkled with chopped green onions.
"Waste! Waste! How shameful! You..." Bell swallowed, his voice suddenly rising, and he turned around like a split: "You...your porridge smells so good, give it to...me?"
Ye Miaomiao nodded sincerely and handed the porridge to Beier.
Bell couldn't wait to take it and took a sip. The warm and easy-to-eat porridge tasted completely different from the dwarf food he had eaten before, the dry lean meat and dry bread that were hard to chew.
"I... I thought it was just a rumor that human food was delicious, but I didn't expect..." Bell drank the porridge in one breath, and said with a lingering feeling: "I didn't expect it to be really, really, really delicious."
Ye Miaomiao quickly asked humbly: "Then Prince Bell, where do you think I should build the forge..."
"Impatient!" Bell immediately jumped up again, showing the common problem of dwarves being small and hot-tempered. However, he had just jumped for a moment when he smelled the fragrance that still lingered on his lips. His expression changed drastically, and he stopped with a cautious smile: "Then something so delicious... I can eat it every day..."
He seemed embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence. He hesitated and hesitated to say anything, just looking at Ye Miaomiao with his eyes.
Ye Miaomiao admired his expression with a smile, and then said considerately: "You can eat it every day, three meals a day for free."
She recalled the article she had seen on the forums before, "One Hundred Simple Ways to Abduct Dwarven NPCs," and couldn't help but smile brightly.
The Internet has never deceived me, Ye Miaomiao!
"Well... actually... it's not... impetuous." As expected, Bell stroked his beard.
He slowly pulled a complex blueprint from his pocket, took half of it, and then suddenly put it back guiltily. He lowered his head and rummaged through his large pocket until he found another wrinkled blueprint stained with food residue.
"You are my friend, Bell, so I won't make things difficult for you. You don't have to live here anyway..."
Ye Miaomiao wiped the sweat from her forehead as if nothing had happened. She had just glanced at the words "pure gold" clearly written on the building material on the retrieved drawing.
Ye Miaomiao almost had a heavy hemorrhage. She had to thank Zhang Jiajia very much when she got back. Zhang Jiajia was simply her lucky star!
"This is my dwarven foundry!" Bell proudly introduced the wrinkled blueprints, shoving them towards him. "This hut is located next to an underground hot spring, and we can use the hot spring water to cool down the materials. In the same amount of time, we can produce twice as much material!"
Ye Miaomiao's eyes lit up. The Yellowstone Mine already had a doubled output bonus, and the Dwarf Foundry Hut had another doubled bonus, so the total bonus was four times!
Bell saw that Ye Miaomiao was very surprised. His eyes rolled around and he carefully took out a neatly placed drawing from his chest pocket.
"This is..." He coughed lightly and disagreed, "The blueprint for the Dwarf Tavern. A sip of Dwarf beer can indeed double the speed of mining and casting, and it can also make people warm up, and the cost is not high. But it is true... Alas, as a Dwarf prince, I don't like to drink. Just look at you..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Miaomiao snatched the neatly arranged blueprint from his hand, startling Bell and shouting, "Don't tear my treasure!"
After he finished shouting, he realized that he had spoken out of turn and coughed lightly: "I mean... every blueprint is my treasure."
Ye Miaomiao: “?”
She looked at the suspicious water stains on the blueprints of the foundry shed and the clean, unbroken appearance of the tavern. The contrast was so stark that she didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Bell's words.
But Dwarf Beer is indeed a good thing!
With Dwarven Beer, a total of six times the bonus, as long as the raw ore keeps up, she can harvest 600+ ore every day!
Ye Miaomiao counted on her fingers and simply calculated from the perspective of a poor person... 1 point for 1 piece of metal ore, 2 points for 1 piece of metal ore material. With Bell working diligently to process the ore into ore material, she could earn 600 points a day!
——In a word, we have become rich!
For a moment, Ye Miaomiao looked at Bell with extremely kind eyes.
Ye Miaomiao placed the foundry hut next to the hot spring, and when she was about to place the dwarf tavern, Bell held her hand.
"Put it in the place closest to my cabin. I mean... so that if anyone gets drunk, I can lend a hand in time. I'm..." He tried his best to make it sound reasonable: "Very helpful."
Ye Miaomiao: “…” She was calculating very quickly, wondering how she could cooperate with the performance and pretend not to see anything.
The Dwarf Tavern was a blueprint that Bell secretly took out. It was not a building of human civilization and had not been certified by the system, so after it was built, no human NPC appeared.
In the huge tavern, only Bell looked around expectantly, which eventually turned into deep disappointment.
"Oh..." Bell couldn't help sighing: "Oh, what a pity, without the beer bonus, my work will be greatly reduced..."
Ye Miaomiao: “…” 600 points, waiting!
.
"Zhang Ya! Zhang Ya! Hurry! Urgent!"
Zhang Ya was working her morning shift outside. It was almost ten o'clock, and hordes of monsters appeared. It was not safe outside the territory.
She took out the half corn left over from the morning and started chewing it while walking back when she received a message from her friend.
Zhang Ya replied with a grin, "What's up? Did you find some points on the ground?"
"Look at the elite group!"
Zhang Ya casually opened the "Civil Servant Squad" elite group, and the large number of messages refreshing instantly made her pupils dilate - it turned out to be a lot of recruitment information!
It really is a great way to pick up points!
"Wait! Wait for me!" Zhang Ya quickly finished eating the corn in her hand and ran back to the territory like a flash.
At this time, there were already quite a few people in front of the territory task board. Zhang Ya struggled to squeeze in and was pleasantly surprised to find that all the job types were still posted there and none of them were filled.
There are so many positions available this time, it's obvious the lord wants to fill them all at once. As expected of a wealthy territory! So many positions available at once!
In fact, it’s just Ye Miaomiao who suddenly became rich: low-key, low-key.
Zhang Ya counted the past: 4 farmers, 3 expedition members, 3 textile workers, 5 miners, 15 people in total, and one... a winemaker?
"Winemaker, you must have winemaking experience to be selected. I don't think I have a chance." Someone next to him sighed.
"Will there be alcohol to drink in our territory from now on?"
Someone complained: "Winemaker! Think about it, it's the easiest job. Just throw in the rice wine yeast and wait for the wine to mature every day? How can they get a salary of 20 points... We have to go out early and come back late every day..."
"Then you're incompetent!" another person said. "The requirements for all the positions this time are so high. I don't think you, a farmer, will even be selected!"
The man quickly glanced at the task board, his face falling. He had just realized that all the professions had minimum requirements.
Both the expedition team and the miners need to have a strength higher than 20. Ordinary people have 5 points of strength. Unless you mine and chop wood frequently and happen to get an achievement that can increase your strength, don't even think about it.
Farmers, textile workers, and winemakers must have work experience or a high level of skills, which is even more difficult to force.
Zhang Ya: “…” The child wants to cry, but the child must be strong.
Her recent entertainment is lying on the edge of the field, watching and learning how to farm. Does this count as experience? Thinking to herself, Zhang Ya placed her fingertips on the task board with trembling hands. A white light flashed into her system.
【Thank you for your participation. Please wait for the screening results. 】
Usually this... there is no result.
Zhang Ya looked at the task board for a long time and found that many people had signed up, but the recruitment information was still firmly hanging there, with no intention of taking it down.
It seems that most people don't meet the requirements...including her, Zhang Ya.
Zhang Ya walked back, crying and feeling depressed. She walked through the increasingly bustling market and came to a shop. "Auntie, I missed the job again..."
"What kind of weaving is this?" Aunt Zhang Li was lying on a cushion.
My aunt is pregnant. She stays in the territory every day. Like other people who are ill and have difficulty working, she is worried every day.
But my aunt, with her quick thinking and skillful cooking skills, hit upon the idea of opening a small shop. She earned a considerable amount of points, not only improving her life, but also earning her a greater respect from those around her. After all, the entire "Hungry Hungry" territory's temporary residents' market was entirely thanks to my aunt!
Screaming Chicken Zhang Ya: “!” Aunt is my idol.
But...her niece couldn't stand up.
"The territory is recruiting experienced textile workers, farmers, and winemakers... I majored in biology and just graduated, so where can I find them..." Zhang Ya said halfway when she suddenly remembered something.
At the same time, her aunt raised her eyebrows and looked behind her.
At this time of year, the young and middle-aged people have not returned home. Behind her are some aunts, grandmothers, uncles and grandfathers who are not in good health. These days, her aunt has become very familiar with them, and they all know who has a skill.
Zhang Ya suddenly remembered that her aunt had once sewed buttons for her clothes! Her aunt once said that without the raw materials and tools, even the best cook cannot cook without rice. This aunt's handicrafts would definitely earn her more points!
The aunt and niece looked at each other and understood each other instantly.
Why are you still worrying and feeling sorry for yourself? Isn’t the opportunity here?
A moment later, several aunts and uncles walked through the bustling market and headed towards the gate of the territory. Among them was even a young man who was limping and was being led by an aunt.
Their group was particularly "old, weak, sick and disabled", and was particularly conspicuous among the group of young men and women coming and going. It was not until they walked to the task board that everyone came to their senses.
"Make way! Make way!" Zhang Ya squeezed through the crowd and said, "Let us in to register."
He actually came to sign up for the civil service position.
One person didn't get in, so when he saw someone registering, he said sarcastically, "Why are all these people signing up? They didn't even look at the task board and see how difficult the required information is. Where do you get the confidence from? Do you think you can do it?"
Her words immediately provoked laughter from the others. After all, they hadn't registered, so how could a group of "old, weak, sick, and disabled" have registered?
"A cripple is here too?" Someone even chuckled, "Do you have any self-awareness? Just lie back in your territory and wait for your parents to raise you. Don't come and cause trouble!"
"Grandpas and aunts are like this," some even muttered in a low voice, but were actually very loud.
The chattering sounds around them made the group of uncles and aunts who were persuaded by Zhang Ya to come here a little hesitant.
"How about..." Song Xiaoqing, Zhang Ya's aunt who had sewed buttons on her, hesitated and said, "Xiaoya, forget it. We are both ill and cannot do heavy work. We are afraid that the lord will not want us."
"How can that be? You're just not capable of hard work like felling trees and mining!" Zhang Ya was now even more anxious than her Aunt Song. She shouted, "If you don't have the skills, then you don't have them! They're the ones with real skills! They're the ones who are in charge!"
She pushed aside the people blocking her way and said, "Aunties and grandfathers, report it! Leave them alone!"
