Chapter 190190. Matches and Glowing Jellyfish
In the early morning, there was no fog in the forest and the visibility was good.
The three of them walked on the soft black soil. Lian and Shasha took turns pulling the cart, which contained water and a little food to fill their stomachs.
Ye Nuan traveled lightly, his eyes focused on the wild sheep drinking water on the other side of the river.
As long as you wait near a water source, you won't have to worry about prey.
Ye Nuan took out the longbow behind him, took out the arrow from the quiver, and slowly pulled the bowstring.
The wild goat glanced at her as if it had noticed something, then moved sideways skillfully and disappeared into the bushes.
"What a pity!" said the animal-eared girl Sasha disappointedly.
"The other side of the lake is nearly 200 meters away, so we may not be able to hit it." Lian estimated the distance and shook her head slightly.
"Do you know the way?" Ye Nuan put down his bow and arrow: "If you do, we can go further."
There is not much prey left near human settlements.
After walking for such a long time, I only encountered a few of them, and they were very alert.
"But, Captain, I suggest that you better not go to the other side of the lake. I heard that there are earth dragons there, and it's very dangerous." A trace of fear flashed across Lian's face.
"I can't deal with the earth dragon." Ye Nuan was silent for a moment, looked at the rapidly flowing river, and did not choose to cross the river.
I don’t know if it was because there were too many people, but I only hunted one white rabbit in the whole morning.
The rabbit meat became lunch, and the rabbit skin could be sold to the fur merchant when we returned to the town for about ten copper pennies.
The fat rabbit has a lot of meat, weighing more than 20 kilograms. Not counting the skin and bones, the pure meat is about 7 or 8 kilograms.
Three people share one share, and there is still some left for one meal.
Lian and Shasha collected some firewood from everywhere, while Ye Nuan sat beside the cart, drank some water and took a rest.
"Hey, who of you two will start the fire?"
If I could find a companion who could make fire, I would be lucky enough, thought the dark elf girl with bluish skin.
"Leave it to me, I still have some matches left." Sasha said with a smile.
"I'll be in charge of the barbecue. I brought salt." Lian skillfully picked up the branches and threaded the rabbit.
Ye Xuan looked at the two people busying themselves and asked, "Did you bring all the flints?"
"Matches are better than flints!" Shasha took out a small wooden box from her pocket. She rubbed it lightly and it sparked, then threw it into the dry leaves and firewood.
"It's so simple!" Ye Nuan couldn't believe it.
"What else?" Sasha put away the matchbox.
"Why isn't this useful thing sold outside?" Ye Nuan raised his doubts.
"Because this is the Lord's latest invention. You can buy a box for a copper penny, which can be used to make fire about ten times. The disadvantage is that it is afraid of water, and not every stick can be used to make fire. In short, it is still very useful." Sasha explained.
"It's still a little expensive. It takes two or three matches to light a fire, and one match can be exchanged for a pancake." Lian complained about the price of matches.
She turned the roasted rabbit meat, took out a handful of salt and sprinkled it on it.
The price of salt in coastal areas is very low, and Ye Nuan brought some salt with him, so he was not surprised.
Lian’s barbecue skills are very good. The rabbit meat is roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Sasha and Yexuan both praised it highly.
Shasha said with emotion: "I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Woohoo, I must become a good hunter and eat meat every day."
"To become a hunter, you must at least have a weapon that suits you. With this small knife, you can probably only try to catch fish in the river." Ye Nuan kindly reminded.
The two of them agreed with this.
That afternoon, the team successfully captured a wild deer drinking water.
The three of them took turns pulling the cart and hurried back.
Before I knew it, it was dusk and the sky was getting dark. There was still one kilometer left to go.
As there was no watch to confirm the time, a misjudgment occurred when the sun hid in the clouds, resulting in the failure to return to the camp in time.
Fortunately, Ye Nuan had very good night vision, so they were able to return safely.
"Hey, girls, we have a good harvest! Wild deer are top-quality food!" Naba held up a torch and looked at Ye Wen with admiration: "Elf warrior, are you interested in joining the Guards? With your ability, we will not reject you. Lady Lodel is also a half-elf like you."
"No, my dream is to be a hunter." The three dragged the wild deer and found a buyer.
After some bargaining, he sold thirty-seven silver dollars, filling a sack.
Ye Nuan gave each of them five silver dollars, and Lian and Sasha were both very satisfied.
"Sister! If you keep going like this, you can buy a house in a month." Sasha looked envious.
"How much does the house cost?" Ye Nuan asked casually.
"A three-story cement house here costs ten gold longs. It might be cheaper if you buy it in Donggang City." Lian interjected.
"Why are remote places so expensive?" Ye Nuan frowned.
"Because the more remote the place, the harder it is to transport the materials. So for a house in your city, the first set of land is free. You just need to apply to the Executive Office and find a construction team to do the work. The transportation fee is also low, so it's cheap." Lian explained.
"Is there such a good thing?" Ye Nuan was slightly surprised.
"Yes! Yes! But each person is limited to one house, and can only live in it himself, and cannot transfer the ownership to others. Some businessmen want to buy many houses, which is very expensive. They have to collect the price of the land! Your lord is really wise and smart." The fox girl Sasha held her hands and acted like a little fan girl.
"Lord Lovey is truly remarkable, different from other nobles." Lian agreed.
In the auditorium of Fulin Castle, Lowe sneezed violently several times.
He glanced at the dark window and stopped at the glass fish tank. Several beautiful luminous jellyfish and the bright light of the caster quietly attracted people's attention.
Raising fish is something that only people with nothing to do would do. Undoubtedly, he is a person with nothing to do now.
I spend most of my time every day immersed in entertainment, occasionally meditating, and rarely handling official business.
"Master, it's your turn to play." Lan Lan grinned, showing her sharp canine teeth.
Xiqi's expressionless mouth curled slightly: "For a game that relies on luck, we won't give up easily."
The game of cards has been around for some time.
The response was very good. Most people supported the idea of adding another way to play.
A few people, such as the typical conservatives, Bruno, Triss, and Laudel, were extremely opposed to his indulgence in material things.
In fact, he really has nothing to do now. What can he do if he keeps his days and nights reversed? Oh, why not build a tall building? Now all the conditions are met. Lovi thought in his heart. In fact, he wanted to wait for a while. If the fleet of the Eternal Empire came to trade again, there would be more earth guards in the territory.
Big stones are so important! Whether it is mining or excavation, they are almost worth a hundred times the manpower, and can even accomplish things that human power cannot solve.
The big stone played an indispensable role in the rapid development of the territory.
