Chapter 50: Autumn Harvest 2

Views:

"Looking from the map, it's more than half an hour before you can reach Lingyun Town." Ren Shile said while passing water to the team members, "Sit down and rest. I'll walk to Lingyun Town in one breath, and I won't be halfway through. Rest again."

The team members found a place to sit down according to the words.

"Autumn is really a good season." One person opened the bamboo tube, poured two sips into his mouth, and wiped the corners of his mouth. Then he said, "The temperature is suitable, neither too cold nor too hot. It is also safe to walk on the road. If you see the monsters avoid in advance, they will It won't be chasing like crazy."

"That's why I came out to run business in autumn." Ren Shile patted the linen backpack, and a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Since there is a ranking list, Lingyun Town has been ranked first. It must be developing well, and the territory should be Are there many specialties?"

"If you buy it and take it back and sell it, you will definitely make a fortune!"

Thinking of the possibility of making a lot of money in the future, the team members couldn't help showing a knowing smile.

After the break, Ren Shile took the lead to stand up, "Let's go, continue on our way."

The closer you get to Lingyun Town, the more the surroundings look like they've been gouged. Along the way, there was not a single resource left.

Someone asked hesitantly, "Could it be that the entire town of Lingyun Town is a life player who specializes in gathering skills? This is too clean!"

Ren Shile was secretly frightened, his face did not show, he just said lightly, "You will know when you enter the territory and take a look."

【You discovered "Lingyun Town". 】

As the system prompt sounded, a group of people stepped into the territory one after another.

As a result, looking around, everyone was dumbfounded.

Pine trees and cypresses are planted sporadically in Lingyun Town, which looks different from other territories.

Going inside, rows of wooden racks are arranged in an orderly and orderly manner, and bacon is hanging on them.

Everyone was surprised and their mouths opened slightly. At this moment, a strange fragrance came to me.

A team member's nose moved and immediately exclaimed, "It's bacon! Our village used to make bacon, and that's what it smells like!"

On another look, piles of bonfires were blazing. A few pieces of good meat are bright red in color and look very attractive.

"Gudu——" The team members swallowed together.

Going inside, there are many tents, and wooden houses are neatly arranged.

These are nothing, the most important thing is that there are wooden fences around the wooden house, directly encircling a piece of land! At this moment, there are residents who are tending the bushes and gathering berries. Others dug out sweet potatoes from the ground and planned to roast them for lunch.

At the front is a row of stone houses, which are majestic and cover a larger area. Everyone glanced at them and fell silent.

"Sell oven-baked bread! Delicious oven-baked bread! You can add meat floss, spread jam, come and buy if you want to eat it! It's hot as soon as it comes out of the oven."

The sound of hawking suddenly reached everyone's ears.

"Boss." The team members looked at their captain while covering their shriveled belly.

"Let's go." Ren Shile pursed his lips, "Buy anything for lunch, and continue shopping when you have the strength."

"Long live the boss!" The team members cheered in unison, and couldn't wait to rush over to the little girl who sold the oven toast.

"How do you sell bread?"

"What is oven-baked bread?"

"What's the price if you add meat floss and spread jam?"

Everyone asked in a row, as if they had just come out of the mountains and had not seen much of the world.

Xia Xi answered patiently, "A piece of oven-baked bread is 4 copper coins."

"Ordinary bread is baked in the oven. The oven baked bread is different. I built a bread kiln and baked it myself. The taste is better than the ordinary oven."

"Add a spoonful of meat floss and receive 1 copper coin. Add two spoons of jam and receive 1 copper coin, and I will earn hard money."

Ren Shile saw that the bread baked in the oven was long, wide, and thick. He estimated that one person would be full by eating one piece of bread, so he directly bought fifteen.

"I add a spoonful of meat floss to mine!"

"I want two spoons of jam."

The team members excitedly placed orders.

"Okay." Xia Xi responded, added the ingredients quickly, and handed them to the guests.

The team members rushed for a long time, and they were already hungry. When I got the bread at this moment, I was not polite at all, and I immediately took a hard bite.

After tasting it, I was shocked, "Why is it so delicious!"

"Is this jam made from berries?"

"I didn't expect that berries can be made into jam. Usually, they are picked and eaten directly."

"Where did the meat floss come from?"

"It's so delicious! I want to add a spoonful of pork floss..."

There were too many questions, and Xia Xi couldn't answer them, so he could only answer, "The bread baked in the bakery is especially delicious. My business here is good, and I'm going to develop new flavors next."

"The jam is made from berries. It tastes good with bread after a little treatment."

"Meat floss, also known as meat velvet, is a powder made by removing moisture from meat."

Ren Shile nibbled on the bread silently, inexplicably feeling that the performance of the team members was a bit embarrassing.

He interrupted the team's in-depth questioning and changed the subject, "We are outsiders and have just arrived in the town. What specialties does Lingyun Town have? Can you tell us more about it?"

Xia Xi was stunned for a while, but did not respond for a long time.

"Specialty? Haven't heard of it..." she whispered.

Is it a waste of time? Ren Shile's heart sank suddenly.

After thinking for a while, he changed his way of asking, "How is Ling Yunzhen usually? Can you tell us about it?"

She will do this!

Xia Xi was refreshed and said, "At 8:00 in the morning, the hunting team goes out to hunt, and the living players will stay in the camp to work."

"Look at that old grandpa over there. He can weave straw shoes from straw, and he can also weave scorpions. He is very good! Now that he has bought a house, he still goes out to set up a stall every day."

"The man next to him is a bamboo craftsman. He usually chops bamboo to make bamboo shields and spears. He sells his own equipment and occasionally hats. If you need it, you can ask him to customize furniture."

"The two brothers here, one specialises in making wooden frames, and the other specialises in rubbing straw ropes. Recently, every household makes bacon, and the wooden frames and straw ropes are easy to sell."

"A couple of grandparents and grandchildren in the past. The cooking skills are really good! I usually dry dried sweet potatoes, make fried peanuts, and occasionally drink soy milk and rice wine. Recently, I picked up firewood and roasted bacon. fragrant!"

"There is also a carpenter on the side. It is said that he was a craftsman before the end of the world. I didn't know what to do at first. Later, I went to the carpentry workshop for a walk. When I came back, I immediately started selling wooden spears, wooden shields and wooden bows. I heard that this In a few days, the daughter-in-law was married."

"Aunt Li next to me is best at doing manual work. I usually buy fabrics and make cloth armor and belts. The quality of the products is as good as those sold in the system stores, but the prices are much cheaper."

Weave straw shoes, weave minnows

Split bamboo to make bamboo shields and bamboo spears? Occasionally sell hats

Two brothers, one specializes in wooden frames, and the other specializes in grass ropes

what else? Dried sweet potatoes, fried peanuts, soy milk, rice wine

Listen, are you talking about people? !

The eyes of the team members were dull, and the whole person was as stiff as a sculpture.

Ren Shiluo seriously suspected that he had not woken up this morning, so that he had auditory hallucinations.

One of the team members was expressionless and vomited, "I finally know why she said that Lingyun Town has no specialties."

The above items, no matter which territory they are in, can be regarded as special products. However, Lingyun Town didn't know what was going on, it was as if he was hanging up. Other territories have it, and other territories don't have it!

So residents feel that these gadgets can be seen everywhere, and they can't be called "specialties".

After thinking about it, the team members burst into tears. What kind of happiness do the residents of Lingyun Town live to treat rare treasures as ordinary objects!

"These are really nothing to be uncommon." Xia Xi said earnestly, "The town's straw sandals are overflowing, and many people will make them up."

player, "..."

In their territory, there are only system stores that can sell them.

"I understand." Ren Shile said with difficulty, "Thank you for telling me."

"You're welcome, you bought all my bread. After finishing the business, I should also close the stall and go home." Xia Xi simply cleaned up, waved to everyone, and then walked briskly in the direction of home. go.

"Boss," a member said in a tragic tone, his face full of pain, "I don't want to run a business anymore, I want to settle here."

The people who run the business are gone, which is probably the case.

"Do you think you are the only one who has such a plan?" Ren Shile glanced at the other party, then looked away, and said quietly, "I think so too."

in the mine.

Five young adults wielded shovels and worked hard to mine.

"I dug up iron ore and earned 5 copper coins!"

"Hey, cold iron ore, 8 copper coins!"

"Hoho, 2 copper ore, add up to 6 copper coins!"

The ore price table is well known by heart, and players can calculate the corresponding income almost as soon as they are dug.

"After smashing it for such a short time, I earned more than 30 copper coins, right?" The more he counted, the more excited he became.

"There are more than 20 copper coins for the unlucky, and forty copper coins for the lucky ones." The companion next to him said, "I am tired from mining, and I have to prepare an iron pick by myself, but the money is really fast!"

"As long as you work hard and work hard for half a month, you will have the money for the house. When the time comes to buy a formal resident qualification and buy a house, what else should you worry about?"

When my friend heard it, this is the truth. So work harder and harder, sometimes even reluctant to stop and rest.

Blacksmith shop.

The blacksmith A pulled the bellows like a gust of wind, and he was busy turning around all by himself.

Whenever he smelted a piece of ore, Yunling would receive a system prompt.

[Successful smelting, coal*1. 】

[Successful smelting, iron block *1. 】

[Successful smelting, copper block *1. 】

[Successful smelting, cold iron block *1. 】

Iron blocks, copper blocks, and cold iron blocks are all materials for making equipment, but coal is different. This is the fuel, it can be used as a high-end torch, and it can also be used to heat the fireplace in winter.

Winter needs to be prepared in many ways, not just hoarding food.

Early in the morning, Yunling asked people to make winter clothes, and accumulated a lot of wood and fur materials.

With coal, fuel stocks are more adequate, and there is greater confidence in surviving the winter.

After checking the list of npc attributes, Yunling couldn't help but think, "I have to smelt and forge again, and only one blacksmith A is too busy. When will blacksmith B, blacksmith C, and blacksmith D refresh? Hurry up, come. Everything is arranged..."

**

Autumn is high and crisp, and there are no clouds in the sky.

Taking advantage of the suitable temperature, residents purchased equipment one after another, planning to hunt more, store more food, and make more money.

Perhaps because of the "harvest day", every time the hunting team goes out, they will return with a full load.

With spare money on hand, residents are willing to spend, and the town is lively.

As the lord of the territory and the owner of the system store, Yun Ling is earning thousands of gold every day. With spare money, she immediately upgraded the buildings in the territory.

[The wood workshop is upgraded to level 2. 】

[The blacksmith shop is upgraded to level 2. 】

Looking at the territory attribute panel, I saw that the data was updated and displayed——

[Territory name: Lingyun]

[Level: Small town. 】

【Taxes: 5%. 】

【Habitable population: 5000】

【Existing Residents: 1736】

[Unlockable buildings: 10]

【Existing buildings: 10】

【Existing building details:

Warehouse (Level 2): Omitted.

Mission Hall (Level 2): omitted.

Wood Workshop (Level 2): omitted.

Tailor's shop (level 2): omitted.

Protective cover (level 2): omitted.

Restaurant (level 2): omitted.

Ice Warehouse (Level 2): Omitted.

Farmland (Level 2): omitted.

Blacksmith Shop (Level 2): Omitted. 】

Everything is perfect except that the population is growing a bit slower.

"It costs 200,000 copper coins to upgrade a building from level 2 to level 3, and 1 million copper coins for a territorial town to upgrade to a city." After calculating the cost, Yun Ling's heart was trembling.

"Take your time." She sighed vaguely.

In Lingyun Town.

The wooden frame is erected, and the bacon flutters in the wind, which almost constitutes a unique landscape.

After experiencing the rainy season and the scorching sun, many people have almost no food left, so they hurriedly prepared food. When they had saved some food and had a little more money on hand, they began to hoard other supplies.

"Selling firewood! Useful firewood! A bundle of 2 copper coins!"

"Sell cotton, just collected cotton! Quantity is limited, first come, first served."

"Cashmere vest, brand new cashmere vest! Blue quality, plus defense and health, especially warm to wear! One price, 500 copper coins!"

The so-called firewood refers to branches, straw, straw, etc. These can be used as fuel to burn, but the effect is average.

The stall owner also knows in his heart that this is how it sells cheaply and earns hard money.

Winter clothes must be prepared for the winter, and cotton is an essential material. The seller probably thinks that what they have is a scarce item, so they don't even give an offer. A person sat quietly on the ground, waiting for customers to come to the door.

Players sell equipment, which is generally cheaper than those sold in system stores.

Brand new equipment, blue quality, sells 500 copper coins in the system store, and players generally sell it for 300-400.

Winter is coming soon, cashmere vest not only adds attributes, but also has the effect of keeping warm. Therefore, the holder lion opened his mouth and directly offered the same price as the system store.

Rare is expensive.

As soon as the voice fell, the stall owner selling cashmere vests was surrounded by a group, and it seemed that many senior players were moved.

Yun Ling walked and strolled, feeling quite relaxed. She didn't go to grab the cashmere vest, but instead went to the stall next to her, "How do you sell firewood?"

Those who picked up firewood and sold it were all half-aged children. The oldest of them was twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.

On the one hand, when firewood is sold, it can subsidize some households.

On the other hand, if you can't sell it, it's almost winter, so it's not bad to keep it for your own use.

In bad times, even children have to work.

Seeing a customer coming to inquire, the eldest boy said seriously, "A bundle of 2 copper coins."

Yun Ling looked down and found that the firewood was tightly bundled with rattan, "Does this count as a bundle?"

The boy nodded vigorously, "That's right."

Yun Ling glanced at the firewood on the ground, "I want it all."

boy,"???"

Yunling paid 12 copper coins, and without the help of the children to carry it, he put the firewood into the cotton backpack and continued to hang out.

"Brother! We earned 12 copper coins!" a child exclaimed excitedly.

"Is this money going to be given to the parents?" A little girl looked at the copper coins reluctantly, like a little money fan.

"No need?" Another boy retorted in a low voice, "Parents didn't tell me to pick up firewood, so don't make trouble... We earned the money ourselves."

The eldest boy thought for a while, "Come on, let's go buy maltose to eat! For the rest of the money, buy some sweet potatoes and take them home."

Parents must be happy to know that they are bringing food home.

Thinking of the sweet maltose, the children suddenly became hungry. Someone immediately said, "Tomorrow I have to pick up firewood! I have to eat maltose!"

"Okay, let's go together."

During the conversation, the children ran to the stall selling maltose and paid for the candy.

"How many of you?" Hu Dacheng recognized these children.

In these years, as long as you can afford to support a family, you have some skills.

However, there are many people in the family, and the money is a little tight.

"Uncle, we want to buy 8 pieces of maltose." The eldest boy said solemnly.

1 copper coin can buy 2 candy, 8 is 4 copper coins.

"If you buy a lot, I will give you an extra piece." Hu Dacheng said happily.

"Thank you uncle."

The children lined up to pick up candies one by one and couldn't wait to put the candies in their mouths.

"Really delicious."

The children couldn't help but smile happily.

**

Tailor shop.

Tailor A sews cotton coats, Tailor B makes cotton pants, and Tailor C makes quilts. Yun Ling had nothing to do when he was idle, so he simply stayed in the studio and started making velvet hats.

【Name: velvet hat (cold hat)】

Quality: ordinary

Required materials: flannel*5, silk thread*1.

Wearing effect: Stamina +2.

The studio is full of tools.

Yun Ling threaded the needle and made the velvet cap in a short time.

Try wearing a hat on your head, it's both warm and ear protection, and the style is pretty good.

"Lu Chuan and You Qingwen often give me food. When preparing items to keep out the cold, do you have to prepare theirs too?"

After thinking about it, Yun Ling took the flannel and silk thread, and got busy again.

**

On the 78th day, residents rushed to make winter clothes one after another.

Granny Qian took a thick needle made of animal bones, passed the silk thread through the needle, and started to make cotton-padded clothes.

The cotton coat is made of two layers, the inner and outer materials are cotton, and the middle is filled with cotton or duck down, goose down. In this way, the cotton coat will be extremely warm after it is made.

Qiaoqiao didn't know how to make cotton-padded clothes, so she took twenty wool threads and two wooden sticks and devoted herself to weaving scarves.

The two chatted while working, and from time to time they could observe how the bacon hanging in the wooden shed was drying.

Some residents were so moved that they couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Qian, how is this cotton-padded coat made? Can you teach me?"

One person spoke, and several others agreed, "Yes, teach us! It's almost winter, how can I do without winter clothes?"

"Qiaoqiao, this scarf is also beautifully knitted. If you wear a scarf and go out in winter, how much protection from the wind?"

"I promise, I will be obedient, and I will never cause you trouble!"

Granny Qian immediately looked embarrassed.

In her opinion, making clothes is not a great craft, and someone who wants to learn her is happy to teach it. It's just that she is the only one who can make winter clothes. She not only has to make them for herself and Qiaoqiao, but also for Xiaofan and others, which makes her a little too busy.

Granny Qian was about to refuse, but one person said first, "Otherwise, you can open an interest class and teach everyone how to make cotton-padded clothes. If you have time, let us think about it by ourselves. What will we learn in the end? It's all up to us, you don't have to be responsible, okay?"

… If you don’t agree to such conditions, you will probably be stabbed in the spine behind your back.

"Okay." Granny Qian agreed, "but I don't have any extra tools or materials. You have to prepare these yourself."

"Okay." Everyone was overjoyed and scrambled to sign up.

In the end, each person received 10 copper coins, and the "clothing" interest class officially started.

"We need to make a version first to understand what the final clothes will look like."

"If you have a sample, you can change the size and just do it."

"When sewing, pay attention to fine stitches, otherwise duck down and goose down will easily come out."

Some people just started to think that 10 copper coins are really cheap for hobby classes! Only later did I find out whether the clothes can be made or not depends on the person.

Some residents are naturally skilled and can get started with a little teaching. Some residents are not good at manual work, and no matter how they practice it, it is not good. Not to mention winter clothes, even small items such as gloves and scarves can't be done well.

a few days later.

Finally someone broke down and asked, "Mother Qian, I don't think I can make this dress. Can you help me make it by paying you for the labor?"

Without waiting for Granny Qian's reply, she hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we will prepare the materials ourselves, so you don't need to worry about it."

"I have to make winter clothes for several people, so I might not be free," said Granny Qian.

Hearing this, a look of disappointment appeared in the man's eyes.

Granny Qian said again, "But you don't have to worry too much."

"I saw that there are two or three students with good craftsmanship. You can ask them to do it for you later."

"If I'm willing to wait, I can pick up the work after I'm done with the work at hand."

The man was overjoyed, "Mother-in-law Qian has the best craftsmanship, I'll just wait."

I heard that it can be customized, and if the family is good, I immediately give up the struggle, "I want to customize it!"

"I want too! Fleece hats, scarves, winter clothes, cotton shoes, gloves, preferably one of each!"

"And quilts. Winter is coming, and I'm afraid it will be cold. The quilts I used before can't keep out the cold."

The crowd surrounded Granny Qian, chatting with anticipation in their eyes. It looks like making a wish to Santa Claus...

"Come one by one, speak slowly, and I'll take a note." Granny Qian said with a good temper.

The students lined up obediently and placed orders one by one.

There are also people from ordinary families who are shy, and wish to split a copper coin into two halves. At this moment, I didn't dare to go to Grandma Qian's side, so I could only lower my head and continue to work hard with bone needles, silk threads, and cotton cloth.

What if the finished product is ugly or bad? It can be used, at least to save money, right

"Surround! Surround! Don't let them run away!"

"Use group attack skills to kill directly."

"Speed focus fire, as many as you can kill."

Under the siege of the hunting team, more than a dozen sheep fell down, and the falling objects exploded on the ground.

Only three survived the encirclement, and hurriedly ran into the distance.

The members of the hunting team didn't chase after them, and happily took stock of their harvest, "Hey, several pieces of mutton have been posted!"

"Look at this woolen thread, it's enough for a scarf."

"A pair of cashmere knee pads burst out here, blue quality equipment, who wants it?"

"give me."

At the same time, three people started to fight.

The captain glanced at it and decided to give the cashmere knee pads to the member who contributed the most.

The other two are envious, but not jealous. Happy teamwork and fair distribution. There will be more opportunities in the future, and it will always be your turn.

The group is distributing the spoils, and the members are all laughing from ear to ear. At this moment, one person exclaimed, "Enemy attack! My blood volume is dropping!"

Looking far into the distance, the surroundings are empty, and there is not a single mobs.

The captain has rich fighting experience and quickly reacted, "It's a shadow monster! Quick! Fire attack!"

"Fireball." The fire mage decisively cast the skill.

There are also warrior players who take out torches from their backpacks and burn shadows with fire.

"Why are you still not dead?!" The attacked player's blood volume continued to decline, and he couldn't help but turn pale.

"Don't worry about saving blue, all fire skills will be smashed together." The captain made a decisive decision.

"firewall."

"Flaming Knife."

"Flame burns the sky."

"Lava."

The players threw their skills away.

The shape of the shadow was mutilated, as if it had been slightly injured. However, persistent attack, vowed to kill the player.

Someone sucked in a breath of cold air, "It won't die like this? Could it be the boss?"

Hearing this, everyone present felt a chill, and no one knew whether they would be the next one.

Killing and not being killed, hiding and not being able to escape, isn't it dead? ! The attacked player closed his eyes in despair.

At the last moment of his life, he suddenly woke up - even if it was a harvest day in autumn, the doomsday natural disaster was still a dangerous survival game, and the slightest carelessness would kill him.
