Chapter 607 Do you have a lot of question marks, kid
A very distinctive feature of "Xianjin Station" is that the closer you get to the castle tower on the top of the mountain, the larger the area of the house and the more luxurious the decoration.
This clear distinction in terrain is like the hierarchy between people here.
Although the house that the passerby pointed to was close to the mountainside, it was still within the slums. There were four or five wooden houses built in a small courtyard, as well as symbolic walls and gates. Compared with the thatched roof houses below, it was definitely It stands out from the crowd.
The door was ajar, and the succulents asked Luo Jie for instructions with their eyes. Then they knocked on the rusty door knocker and shouted inside: "Is there anyone there? We are foreign merchants and want to stay at your house for a while. Is it inconvenient to know the time?"
"Please wait!"
A girl's slightly panicked voice sounded from inside the door. After a moment, the door opened, and a handsome girl with a brown side ponytail and simple clothes, who looked like a jade from a small family, emerged from inside.
Luo Jie and Succulent exchanged glances subconsciously, with a hint of undetectable surprise on their faces.
This girl is called "Loach". She is the supporting actress who most resembles the heroine in the original work. She has a gentle personality and an IKEA-like interior. She is very popular with children...
He is also the friend and workplace partner of the male protagonist "Ikoma".
There are thousands of households in the entire "Xianjinyi", and the probability is one in a few thousand that they can actually find the home of a major plot character. Luo Jie can only say that their luck this time is really good.
Of course, it is not ruled out that this is the arrangement of the system - no matter which passerby is asked, the player will eventually be pointed here.
Seeing the confusion on the side ponytail girl's face, Luo Jie took the initiative to step forward, smiled as kindly as possible, and said: "We are Chinese merchants who just arrived at Xianjinyi today. An uncle told us that there may be vacancies here. Room."
"I'm... I'm the only one at home. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to receive you." "Loach" is obviously very wary of strangers he has never met before.
"We also have female relatives." Luo Jie moved to the side, revealing the red cactus and "Hualiuzhai Glass" behind him, and said at the same time: "And we will pay rent, one gold coin like this every month, is that okay? "
While talking, Luo Jie handed over an ancient Egyptian gold coin brought from Hamna Tower - there were so many of these in "Scheherazade"'s treasury that he could afford to pay for one every minute.
With the income of "Loach", it is impossible to reach the level of gold coins. I was a little overwhelmed when I took it in my hand. I hurriedly returned it as if this golden thing was hot to my hands, waving my hand and saying: "You don't need so much, this is really too much." It’s so much, it’s almost half a year’s salary for me...Okay, if you want to live here, you can live here. There are still a lot of empty rooms anyway, and I will clear out two for you later, but here The conditions are very simple and there are no extra beddings, so you need to prepare them yourself."
"Thank you." Luo Jie thanked him, put the gold coin back into "Loach"'s hand, smiled slightly and said: "We are not very familiar with this place, so I will trouble you to purchase daily necessities. The extra money will be counted as Do you think this is okay for the food expenses for us?"
"Loach" resisted again and again, but when Luo Jie insisted, he could only reluctantly accept it.
After "Loach" went out, he sat on the spotless floor of the main room, and the red cactus stared at Luo Jie's face with a half-smile.
"I remember you should have smaller gold dust. Why did you give that girl such a big gold coin?"
"Because I have money."
Luo Jie's simple and rude answer choked the red cactus half to death. He rolled his eyes angrily and muttered angrily: "I don't care how many romantic debts you plan to leave, I just remind you, don't forget us.
There is still business."
Luo Jie smiled. He heard that the fiery red cactus was vaguely reminding him to discuss things, so he said to "Hanalyuzhai Glass" who was sitting beside him and looking at the sky outside in trance: "Miss Glass, can you step aside for a moment?"
"Actually, I'm not interested in who you are or what you're going to do."
"Hanaryuzhai Glass" knocked the burnt ash from his pipe, left a meaningful word, stood up and walked towards the courtyard with a swaying figure.
"This woman seems to have seen something." The red cactus frowned.
"It's strange that we can't see it. After all, we are very different from the aboriginal people in this world." Luo Jie changed into a comfortable cross-legged position, "Let's get started, kid, do you have many questions?"
"Do you Chinese like to make jokes so much when you talk? Don't think I don't know the lyrics of a song..."
"Yes, it's called "Listen to Dad"." Succulent finally found a chance after holding back a lot of bad water.
"Go away! Neither of you are good people!"
...
After a few punches and punches on your chest, the red cactus was no longer in the mood to ask questions.
At dusk, "Loach"'s petite figure carried a disproportionately large bag on his back and two large bags of ingredients in his hands, staggering through the door like a fat penguin.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Because I have to go to the factory to work, so I can only wait until after work to help you buy things."
"Duoshu, help me get the things." Luo Jie also stepped forward and took off "Loach"'s big bag containing four thin quilts, and said: "Miss Loach, you bought so many things, you can let the seller deliver them, why?"
Did you carry it back alone?"
"There is an extra charge for delivery." "Loach" raised her wrist to wipe away the fine sweat on her forehead. Under her rolled-up sleeves, a clear line of sun marks was exposed. She smiled and bent her arms towards Luo Jie, revealing two rows of
Pretty little White Teeth: "It doesn't matter. Even though I'm thin, I'm very strong...Okay, it's time to make dinner. I'll help you clean up the room after dinner."
"Loach" ran into the kitchen carrying ingredients like a clockwork pendulum, and soon there was the rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables.
"She is really a good girl who is suitable to be a wife... I really don't know what the protagonist was thinking, but he actually chose a "nameless" who could earn the death penalty for three years."
The succulent plant made a tut-tutting sound, as if complaining about the "loach"'s plight.
The Japanese country is not a country rich in products. Even though the various post cities maintain trade with each other through railways, they are still in a long-term state of tension in various daily necessities.
The dinner dishes are very simple, and the taste can be called bland due to the lack of necessary seasonings.
It was difficult for Luo Jie and others to get used to it, but "Loach" ate it with gusto, which made people even suspect that they were eating the same thing at all.
"Thanks to Mr. Nightmare and everyone, I haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time."
After adding three large bowls of rice in a row, "Loach" put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction. He held his chin and looked at the people at the dinner table who were "chewing slowly", and his demeanor regained the liveliness of a girl of the same age.
"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Nightmare wants to do when he comes to our Xianjin Station?...I'm just curious. If it's inconvenient, you don't need to answer."
"It's nothing inconvenient." Luo Jie took a sip of the miso soup and said with a smile: "As a businessman, of course I do whatever I want to do to make money... Miss Loach thinks I should do some business here.
Okay?"
Of course, Luo Jie never thought about being a businessman. These words were purely improvisation after assuming the role.
"Just call me "Loach". I am just an ordinary girl from a commoner's family. How can I deserve such a title? Miss "Acorus" who lives in the castle tower is the real noble lady."
"Loach" is just a young girl who is not very experienced in the world. How could she have thought that Luo Jie was just perfunctory with her and actually started to think about it seriously.
"I don't know much about this, but if something is expensive, it should be food... When I work in a factory, the wages I get are only enough to fill my stomach, and I don't even dare to buy new clothes.
Woolen cloth."
Hearing "Loach" mention the factory, Luo Jie brought the topic to it: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked "Loach" yet, what kind of job do you do?"
"I work in the steam forge, where the steam locomotive "Juncheng" is manufactured and repaired."
"The factory of "Juncheng"?"
"Yes, not only "Juncheng", we are also responsible for manufacturing and repairing steam engines." Speaking of this, "Loach" suddenly remembered something and said with some excitement: "By the way, Mr. Nightmare, I
I saw Miss "Calamus" today. It seemed that one of her guns was broken and she came to our factory to find a technician who could repair it."
Sifangchuan Acorus? Repair the gun?
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
Luo Jie suppressed the violent fluctuations in his heart, and still had a peaceful smile on his face: "By the way, I heard the whistle of the train during the day. Has any Juncheng arrived?"
"Loach" nodded and answered truthfully: "It's the 'Katetsu Castle'. The damage was very serious. It took us a long time to complete the renovation... By the way, it seems that the 'Fuso Castle' is coming tonight too."
, I might have to work overtime again tomorrow."
Luo Jie, Succulent Plant and Fire Red Cactus, all three of them exchanged shocked looks.
They didn't expect that on the first day they arrived at "Xianjinyi", they would catch up with the first key turning point in the original plot!
