"Stop! What are you doing?" When we arrived at the entrance of the town, there were guards wearing wooden armor blocking the way.
Zion got out of the car and came forward, and said respectfully: "We are country villagers living in the mountains and forests not far away. We want to go into the town to sell some food."
"Get out of the car and get checked!"
"Yes!" Zion turned back to the car and whispered to Jia Zhengjin who was sitting on it, "Your Highness, routine inspection, don't worry!"
"Um!"
Everyone in the car got off one after another and stood beside him obediently.
The guard came over to carefully examine the goods on the wooden trailer. He grabbed a handful of wild wheat rice, took it to his nose and smelled it suspiciously, then turned around and asked, "What is this?"
"A specialty on the mountain," Zion quickly replied, "This is called wild rice. It is a food with a pretty good taste. Just put it in a pot and add water to cook it, and you can make quite delicious rice."
"Rice?" the guard looked confused, "What is that?"
There is no word for rice here, so the guards don't understand.
"You and the soldiers can bring some back. It's very convenient to cook. If you think it's delicious, we can bring some to you from time to time when we come over." Zion knew that these guards had prepared the food and went in and out of Flatto Town.
It will be more convenient and safer.
Several guards looked at each other. Although they didn't know what these things were, they heard that they were food, so they turned around and took some bags to put some in each.
In fact, their wages are not much, and they barely make ends meet. While on duty, they often receive some benefits from passers-by and merchants.
"What are these?" After putting away the wild wheat rice, they moved to the second cart, which was full of broad-leaf vegetables.
"Brother Bing, this is also a specialty of the mountain, a plant called broadleaf vegetable." Zion said immediately, "This vegetable can be eaten raw, very clean, or cooked, and tastes great."
"Oh? You guys have so many weird things." One of the guards said, "Are you sure you can eat them?"
"Of course!" Zion picked up a broad-leaf vegetable, tore off a leaf and put it into his mouth.
Seeing that he ate it himself, several guards hesitantly picked off a vegetable leaf to taste it, and then their eyes lit up: "It tastes good!"
"Of course! Can any of the military lords take some away?" Zion said with a smile, "They are all things from the mountains, not valuable."
"Hmm~" The soldiers were not polite, and each of them took two broad-leaf vegetables.
Jia Zhengjin doesn't feel bad at all, after all, he can grow a lot of food in one day.
"What is this car?"
"Master Bing, these are soybean oil!"
"Soybean oil?"
"The oil squeezed out of beans is good for cooking or lighting lamps." Zion took a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to the guards for them to smell.
The soybean oil tastes very good. The guard glanced at the bottles in the car and waved: "Bring us a few bottles!"
"Okay!" Zion turned around and shouted to Heiman, "Quick, prepare a few bottles for Mr. Bing!"
"Yes!" Heiman and others immediately took out several bottles of soybean oil and handed them to the guards respectfully.
"Okay! It's not easy for you to come from the mountains," the guard said with satisfaction. "Since you live nearby, you can be considered a resident of our town of Flatto. You have lived here for several years, right?"
"Yes, Master Bing, you have such good eyesight!" Zion said with a smile on his face.
"I have met you several times before," the guard said, "but is it inconvenient to go up and down the mountain? Do you want to consider moving to the town? After registration, you will be an official resident of Flatto Town!"
"Master Bing, we don't have any other skills, we can only rely on the mountains to make a living." Zion said, "We don't know how to make a living in the town, so we can still live comfortably in the mountains. Occasionally we can sell some things here to exchange for some money.
fine."
"Okay! Anyway, it's up to you." The guard said, "You don't go down the mountain often. Have you been hoarding these goods for a year?"
"Yes, yes!" Of course Zion couldn't tell the other party that this was done in one day, "but we may go down the mountain more frequently in the future."
"Well, let's go in!" The guard nodded and let him go.
The team set off immediately, pulling the cart into the town of Frato.
Arriving in the town away from the gate and coming to a road with fewer people, Zion looked around and whispered to Jia Zhengjin: "Your Highness, for the sake of safety, you are my granddaughter Maxi when you are here. We can't
When it comes to the Reisel Empire, I can’t call you princess. Do you still remember?”
They probably made an agreement before entering the town. Of course Jia Zhengjin didn't know that he was not the real Princess Mahi, but it was understandable that this kind of thing was different.
"Don't worry, I understand!"
"That's good!" Zion breathed a sigh of relief, "We must be more cautious. Although the Dawn Front has almost forgotten our existence, it is very dangerous if we are discovered. Let's go to the market later and sell things.
Buy some daily necessities and leave the city and go back to the mountains immediately!"
"I know," Jia Zhengjin nodded.
"You must also be careful and never let anything slip!" Zion turned around and said to the others.
"Every time you give us an order, everyone remembers it thoroughly, and there will be no mistakes!" Heiman replied immediately.
Zion was relieved and drove the horses forward with a whip.
The team soon arrived at the lively market, where most of the people in the town gathered, and stalls could be seen everywhere.
The shouts of hawkers kept coming and going.
Zion led the team and chose a good place to stop. He ordered Heiman to take down the straw mat and prepare the music. He took some wild rice, broad-leaf vegetables and bottled soybean oil from the car to make samples, and then used the charcoal he brought with him to make samples.
Write the corresponding price on the ground.
Then we waited by the car.
Jia Zhengjin was speechless when he saw this scene: "Zion, don't you need to hawk? You see, everyone is trying hard to attract customers, but we are silent here..."
Zion looked around nervously and whispered: "You are my granddaughter here. Although it is embarrassing for you, you must be careful with this title. Also, we don't know how to hawk. In the past, we just put down the goods, and if you are interested,
Of course they will buy it.”
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was even more speechless: "The problem is that others may not know our new ingredient!"
"What should we do?"
"Hmm..." After thinking for a moment, Jia Zhengjin turned to look at Ashley and the three of them. With a flash of inspiration, he called them to his side and whispered a few words.
Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah were all smart and learned quickly. They walked to the stall and followed Jia Zhengjin’s instructions and shouted: “Take a look, take a look! New varieties of wild rice, big leaf beans,
Broad-leaf vegetables are delicious, cheap and nutritious! Big-leaf soybean oil is a good helper for cooking and a new material for lamp oil! Come and take a look, take a look! You can’t buy it and you’ll suffer a loss, you can’t be cheated if you buy it..."
Such a shout really attracted the attention of many people, and a large number of passers-by immediately gathered around him.
