Chapter 4 Broken Beauty
The next morning, Qiao Suluo got up early, washed, and made breakfast.
There is no food at home.
She could only make fried rice with the cornmeal pancakes and cabbage left over from last night, otherwise she would have nothing to eat.
The small courtyard at home is actually a yard surrounded by bamboo. Apart from the kitchen, there are only three simple rooms.
She lived in the largest room on the east side, next to the kitchen. The other two rooms were where Que Hongjin and Bai Qianluo lived.
"No wonder the original owner sold Yue Hanzheng and the other two. Could it be that there were only three rooms in the house and they had nowhere else to live?"
According to the original owner's memory, when she lived in this house before, she had a room to herself, and five beastly husbands lived in the other two rooms.
The system said: "Host, you are so naive. The original body was so vicious, how could it be possible that it sold three beast husbands for such a small matter? The original owner despised them as disabled and had no use for them, so he thought it would be better to sell them for a good price."
Qiao Su Luo frowned and thought to herself, "Do the beastmen here have no human rights? Can the female beastmen, as their wives, sell their husbands at will?"
The system said: "Logically speaking, it's not allowed, but who made these five people disabled and useless? The original owner can dispose of them at will."
"These five individuals were originally top-tier male beasts of exceptional talent and noble status. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened to them and they became what they are today. There are many people in the capital who are jealous of them and want them dead. They threw these five individuals back to their original owners like garbage. They knew their original owners' true nature and deliberately humiliated and humiliated them."
"It's easy to kill someone, but it's only by humiliating them that you break their character."
Qiao Su Luo was speechless, "It's very cruel."
Qiao Su Luo communicated with the system, understanding her current situation in detail, and her hands did not stop moving.
After making breakfast, he boiled a pot of hot water and said, "No, I remember that the water in the water tank was all gone last night. How come it's only half full today?"
At this moment, Qiao Su Luo heard some noise outside the door, and saw Bai Qianluo, who was as elegant as an orchid and a jade tree, and cold and extraordinary, coming in carrying two buckets of water on a shoulder pole.
He was wearing a plain long gown, which fluttered gently in the wind.
The wet rain and mist in the morning enveloped him, and the rain and mist were like gauze, dyeing him and the surrounding scenery into an ink painting.
In this hazy rain painting, he seems like a banished immortal.
It was just that his overly pale face added a sense of broken and weak beauty to him.
Qiao Suruo hesitated, "So, he got up so early to fetch water?"
"He can't see clearly, how can he carry water?"
Based on the original owner's memory, she remembered that there was only one well in the village, which was at the front entrance of the village. Their house was at the northernmost end of the village, and it took a while to walk there to fetch water.
The system said, "Although they are disabled, they do the work they are supposed to do. They are the ones who clean up the house inside and out."
"They also chopped and split the firewood in the corner of the yard."
"But your five beast husbands are not simple. They may have unknown abilities, so they can still do housework normally."
Bai Qianluo seemed to feel something, or to "see" something. He paused slightly for a moment, then put down his shoulder pole, carried the bucket into the kitchen, and filled the water tank with water.
Qiao Su Luo said, "I made breakfast for you, too. Do you want to eat together?"
Bai Qianluo "looked" at Qiao Suluo, his cold and beautiful face seemed to be filled with a look of vigilance and suspicion.
She actually gets up early to make breakfast?
In the past, she would sleep until noon, then take the money to the county restaurant for dinner. She didn't go out for the past two days, probably because she had spent all the money.
Seeing that Bai Qianluo didn't move, Qiao Suluo didn't want to wait for him, "Then I'll eat first."
After this meal, there was not a single grain of food left in the house, nor a penny. She was anxious to go to the mountain to see if she could get some food, or get some mountain products to sell in the county, otherwise she would be starving.
Is it possible that the whole family will starve to death?
Qiao Suluo sat down and ate by herself, not caring what Bai Qianluo was thinking.
After a moment of silence, Bai Qianluo sat down to eat.
Qiao Su Luo also noticed that Bai Qianluo ate silently, and every move he made was very elegant, as if he had received a good education since childhood, neither hurried nor slow, and was dignified and elegant.
After dinner, Qiao Su Luo cleaned up her dishes and washed them, then went up the mountain with her tools and a backpack.
When they reached the back mountain, Qiao Suluo looked at the vast bamboo forest and her eyes lit up. The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and she could use the bamboo to make bamboo tube dumplings to sell.
It’s a pity that there is no glutinous rice at home, and you need copper coins to buy glutinous rice.
After looking around, Qiao Suluo didn't find any spring bamboo shoots and was very confused.
The system said, "This cat village is remote and simple, with backward conditions. Many orcs are hungry and come to the mountains and forests to find food. The spring bamboo shoots have long been dug up by everyone."
Qiao Su Luo was not discouraged. She took a breath of fresh air and said, "The air here is really fresh." She felt very comfortable after taking a breath.
The system said: "Not only is the air good and the environment good, there are also many authentic ingredients here. The host will definitely like this place after a long time."
There were many mushrooms on the mountain after the rain, and Qiao Su Luo picked some mushrooms.
"Host, people here don't dare to eat mushrooms. If you go to the county to sell them, no one will buy them."
Qiao Su Luo said, "If I sell these in the mall, I should be able to get some points."
The system said: "This is fine. The mall accepts this kind of food."
Qiao Su Luo quickly entered the space with her mind, and an interface full of goods appeared before her eyes.
"Host can click the automatic detection option in the mall, and the space mall will have a quote."
Qiao Su Luo reached out and clicked an option on the mall panel. The system's mechanical voice automatically sounded, "Ding, six kilograms of pure natural and pollution-free wild mushrooms detected, six points per kilogram. Host, do you want to sell?"
Qiao Su Luo automatically clicked on the sale, and thirty-six points instantly appeared in her space mall account, and her backpack was empty.
Qiao Su Luo got the points and immediately looked at the food in the mall. One pound of brown rice was eight points, and one pound of coarse flour was also eight points.
Now it is not just a matter of buying food. There are two problems to be solved right now. One is to have food to eat, and the other is to make money.
I only have these few points now, which is not enough.
The system reminded: "Host cannot use the price difference in the Beast World to resell items in the mall. This goes against the original intention of the mission. However, you can make food and sell it yourself."
"Host, make money as quickly as possible and rescue the three beastly husbands who were sold."
Qiao Su Luo's expression changed. At present, she had no cost and could only do some small business first.
She needs to accumulate initial capital before she can do much.
For now, she can buy wheat and glutinous rice to make malt sugar and sell it.
According to her original body's memory, she knew that sugar was very expensive in the Beast World Continent.
She didn't see any sugar cane on the mountain, but she could make malt sugar and sell it. The price of malt sugar was three cents per piece.
This little bit of mushrooms was not enough for her, so Qiao Su Luo continued to pick mushrooms in the mountains and sell them.
"Hey, is this konjac?"
While digging mushrooms, Qiao Su Luo unexpectedly found konjac on the mountain, a large area of konjac, which made Qiao Su Luo excited.
