Ye Chong didn't know how troubled the Ye family and other three major families were, but even if he knew, it would be useless. His strategy is not at the level where he can use this matter to bring more benefits to himself. If it is a tragedy, that is a different matter.
Just now, he rescued an honest and honest man from the land. This fief was about thirty years old, with a simple and honest face, but at this moment, his whole body was covered in mud. Just now, he accidentally got stuck in the mud while trying to pick a piece of green yarrow. In desperation, he shouted for help. The quagmire was not far from Ye Zhong. Ye Zhong, who heard the cry for help, rescued the fief.
The so-called farmers are people who specialize in picking plants in the wild. According to Crazy Chip's description, the division of training professionals in this system is no less sophisticated than the training systems in the five major star regions.
Ye Chong didn't expect that he would meet a fief.
Zhao Ying gratefully said to Ye Zhong: "Thanks to you sir this time. If it weren't for you, I would have died." He rubbed his hands vigorously, but found that his hands were covered with mud. Zhao Yingchen blushed and held it in for a long time before he said, "Can you please come to my house and sit down?"
Zhao Ying's home is small and can be called simple. His wife was not beautiful, but she was very enthusiastic. After learning that the person in front of her saved her husband, she became even more enthusiastic towards Ye Chong. His daughter was only seven or eight years old and was obviously afraid of strangers. She hid behind her father, carefully stretched out her little head, and looked at the stranger curiously with her small eyes.
Linhua tea, pickled pork with pickled plums, all the best things in the house were brought out by Zhao Ying and his wife to entertain Ye Chong.
An honest and kind couple, a shy but curious child, this ordinary family gave Ye Chong unprecedented warmth. He thought of his father. I thought of Mu Shang and Grandpa Qian. If you are very familiar with Ye Chongqing, you will find that the lines on Ye Chongqing's face that were cold and rigid in the past have become a bit softer.
After the meal, Zhao Ying and Ye Zhong started chatting, but it was obvious. Ye Chong was very unaccustomed to this kind of communication. Basically, Zhao Ying was talking and Ye Chong was listening. It's hard for Zhao Ying, an honest and humble person, to meet someone who is more dull and silent than him. He said more today than he did in the past ten days.
From Zhao Ying's narration, Ye Chong learned about the bitterness and hardship of life of an ordinary fief. He could hear the deep feelings contained in Zhao Ying's plain and slightly blunt words.
Zhao Ying has to go out to pick plants every day, and his wife has to do some simple rough processing of the picked plants. Their source of income mainly comes from the sale of these raw materials that have only undergone simple processing. Neither of them had learned any real training and were completely wild, so the purchase price was kept very low. Both of them have to work hard every day, otherwise they won't even be able to support their daughter.
"The child's father, come here quickly. What to do with this flat yarrow?" Zhao Ying's wife came over and asked.
Only then did Zhao Ying suddenly remember that he was lucky today and picked a piece of flat wormwood. But then he could only sit back slumped, and said helplessly: "Forget it. I don't know, just sell it tomorrow. You work first, I will have a chat with my husband, and we will come over later."
Turning his face, Zhao Ying said with some heartache: "Oh. I will only sell it at a low price tomorrow. I don't know if it can be sold."
Ye Zhong understood what Zhao Ying meant. The green grass must be roasted within five hours of being picked. Otherwise, the effect will be at least half as bad.
"Go over and take a look." Ye Zhong said softly, but he got up first.
Zhao Ying was stunned for a moment, then became a little panicked: "Let's just sit here, it's too messy inside."
But while he was talking, Ye Zhong had already walked into the inner room, and Zhao Ying had no choice but to follow him quickly.
The room was filled with smoke and an unpleasant smell, which was the result of the mixed smells emitted by many plants when they were roasted. Ye Zhong couldn't help but frowned. From a professional perspective, this is very unsafe.
What caught his sight were several very primitive baking tools. Zhao Ying's wife was sweating profusely and roughing the plants nearby.
The heat is not well controlled, the technique is wrong, and the order is also wrong.
Ye Zhong couldn't help but shook his head slightly in his heart. No wonder the plants they baked couldn't be sold at a good price in the market. The training raw materials made in this way can only be regarded as defective products in a sense.
Zhao Yingdi's wife was obviously stunned when she saw Ye Chong. She quickly stood up, rubbed her apron with her hands, and said embarrassedly: "Why did you come in here? It's too messy in here!"
At this moment, Zhao Ying also came in.
Ye Chong did not speak, but walked straight to the baking utensils. In the surprised eyes of Zhao Ying and his wife, he poured everything in the baking pot into the waste pool, but stretched out his other hand.
"Bring the green grass."
In a room filled with smoke, a young man looked at the baking pot with concentration. Beside him, a couple stared in admiration, fearing to miss any detail.
"The fire should be slightly green, and the hands should be evenly applied without using water. The order of baking is from bottom to top, from roots to leaves. The roots will be slightly browned, and the stems will turn light purple. When baking the leaves, use a small brush and dip them in water repeatedly. Brush three times, make sure it is completely dry before brushing again.”
When this roasted green yarrow plant was placed in front of Zhao Ying and his wife, Zhao Ying could not help but tremble with excitement. With the quality of this plant, it will definitely fetch a good price!
The honest Zhao Ying was not focused on this flat grass that could be sold at a high price, but was chewing over every detail of what Ye Zhong just said in his mind. He knew that just because of this, they would not have to worry about their future lives!
Seeing Zhao Ying's thinking expression, Ye Chong knew that he had understood what he meant.
With a plop, Zhao Ying pulled his wife to kneel down and kowtowed three times with gratitude on his face. This honest man could only use this simplest way to thank the young man who had brought a turnaround in their lives.
"Not bad, not bad. The fire is old and the quality of this flat grass is very good. I said Zhao Ying, this is not at your level." Lao Zhangtou, who was in charge of the acquisition, raised his head and glanced at Zhao Ying, and then his eyes fell on
On Ye Chong's body beside him. No one knows Zhao Ying's level better than him. Few people in the city would accept the processed products he had made before.
Zhao Ying laughed a few times but said nothing. When Lao Zhangtou saw this, he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, I guess God has given you a blessing because of your hard work for half your life. I'll give you fifty pieces of silver for this flat grass. What do you think?"
Zhao Ying nodded emphatically. This money was enough for their family to spend for a while. Seeing Zhao Ying's excited look, Lao Zhangtou couldn't help but smile again and took out fifty silver coins. However, most of Lao Zhangtou's attention was focused on this young man who came with Zhao Ying but remained silent and expressionless.
Zhao Ying carefully took the fifty pieces of silver, put it even more carefully into his bag, and kept it close to his body.
"Grandpa, do you know how to get to Tianzhu City?" Zhao Ying asked Lao Zhangtou. He was asking for Ye Chong.
"Tianzhou City?" Old Zhangtou couldn't help but cast his eyes on Ye Zhong, who was silent at the side, and said unhurriedly: "What? Zhao Ying, do you want to go to Tianzhou City? Tianzhou City is very far away. Miles."
"No, no." The honest Zhao Ying quickly shook his head and said, "This friend of mine wants to go, but he doesn't know the way. Let me ask you, how knowledgeable you are, you must know."
Lao Zhangtou pondered: "I have been to Tianzhu City when I was young. But it is far away from here, and I can't tell you exactly how to get there."
"Then do you have a map?" Ye Zhong asked. As long as he has a map, it is really a very simple matter for him to go to Tianzhu City. With the speed of the Moon Server King, he can go whenever he wants, and it won't even take an hour to go back and forth.
"Map?" Lao Zhangtou looked at the young man in surprise, but then shook his head: "No, these days, who has a map and who doesn't keep it like a treasure?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying couldn't help but look anxious. On the contrary, Ye Chong looked as usual, calm and calm.
This young man is really calm, and Lao Zhangtou couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart. But he immediately said: "But, there happens to be a caravan going to Tianzhu City. I can help you and ask if I can take you with me." Old Zhangtou often does things like this, and the caravan has guards. , safety in numbers, many people want to join forces and follow on the road.
After thinking for a while, Ye Zhong said, "Then there's Grandpa Lao."
Lao Zhang went in and soon brought Ye Zhong and Zhao Ying in, leading them to a middle-aged man.
In Zhao Ying's view, this middle-aged man was calm and proud, and his clothes were extremely gorgeous. He looked like a big shot at first glance. But in Ye Chong's eyes, the opponent's face looked weak, his skin was loose, he was typical strong on the outside but dry on the inside, and his clothes were too dazzling, which was not conducive to the movement of his limbs.
"This is Team Leader Yu." Lao Zhangtou introduced the two of them.
This middle-aged man had two slightly raised beards at the corners of his mouth, high cheekbones, and sunken eye sockets. He couldn't help but yawn twice just standing there.
"Who is going to Tianzhu City?" Leader Yu said lazily.
"Me." A short and somewhat cold reply floated in the air. Leader Yu's sleepiness disappeared immediately. He couldn't help but look at Ye Chong, his slightly narrowed eyes showed a bit of shrewdness: "Oh, young man, what are you doing in Tianzhu City?"
