Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji returned the same way, backed from the sparsely forested swamp to the place where he entered the swamp. The farmers not far away saw Zhao Ji entered the swamp and retreated after a while, looking at him strangely. I don't know what Zhao Ji is doing.

Facing the puzzled eyes of the farmer, Zhao Ji spread out his hands, took out the shoes from his arms, and washed his feet with the small irrigation ditch beside the field. After drying his feet with his trousers, Zhao Ji put on his shoes and returned to the town.

After going back and forth, it was noon, and the guards at the gate of the city were eating dry bread with their backs against the gate hole. There are some vegetables and other things sandwiched in the dry bread. A guard with a two-handed sword is taking out the sauce from a small clay pot with a small wooden spoon and spreading it evenly on the dry bread. Seeing this, the other two guards begged him to smear a little bit of their bread.

Zhao Ji hurried past the gate of the city, saw the guards and greeted them. The guards nodded to Zhao Ji to pass.

Zhao Ji went all the way back to the restaurant of the chamber of commerce. Lunch in the restaurant has already started to be eaten. It is still thick soup with coarse grain bread, but the soup has become a mushroom and vegetable soup. The plump fresh mushrooms are produced from the farm outside the city, and the vegetables include all kinds of vegetables that can be found in the kitchen. Vegetables, radishes, potatoes, cabbage, celery, onions and apples.

Zhao Ji wondered why there were apples in the soup. He asked Aunt Dilu, the cook, how the apples were added to the soup. Others were surprised that Zhao Ji could taste the apples, but they didn’t taste them. Believe it or not The man tasted it carefully again, and sure enough, he tasted that apples were added to the soup.

Aunt Dilu proudly announced to everyone that this is a new attempt by the chef---her husband---Chef Whitier. After many experiments, the two of them added appropriate apples to the soup to make the soup taste more delicious. Thirty percent better. When everyone heard this, they all ordered another thick soup, which seemed to be much better than before, and even the rough bread seemed not so hard to swallow.

The old Foxtail President who came out of nowhere, tasted the soup with tears in his eyes. After drinking it, he said that Chef Whitier must pass on this technique to his wife. He can rely on this when he gets old. The roux survived at home.

Coincidentally, Jamura also came to the restaurant for dinner at this time, and Zhao Ji approached, intending to ask Jamula about the slime monster in the swamp south of the city.

Zhao Ji didn't say anything about his bet, but only said that he was going to the south of the city to hunt slime monsters and get the slime monster's envelope to make money. He came to consult Jamura to see if it was feasible.

"Well, the envelope of the slime monster, this thing has a certain value. But, Joe, this thing is used in a very small amount. We usually only use this thing when building houses or repairing the roof of houses here. Come on," Jamura said.

Zhao Ji asked: "But I saw that our chamber of commerce bought a batch of these coatings last month."

Jamura winked and said, "Our chamber of commerce? You are finally going to join the chamber of commerce."

"No, no, I have to think about it again, what is the purpose of the chamber of commerce to enter the envelope of the slime monster?"

"I plan to use it myself. The building of the chamber of commerce has been in use for twenty years. I joined the chamber of commerce when I was young. I just became an adult. At that time, everyone worked together to build this building. It has been twenty years in a flash. The main body of the whole house is okay, but the roof is not so good. At that time, everyone hired a dwarf architect, have you seen a dwarf architect?" Jamura said with nostalgia.

"I haven't seen it before, isn't it short and thick, with a big beard?" Zhao Ji said speculatively.

"It's like that, and you're right in describing it. However, it's okay to say they are thick and have a lot of beards. If you dare to say that they are short in front of them, you will get into trouble. At least you will be beaten up.

Oh, where are you talking, dwarf architect. At that time, we all asked a famous dwarf architect in Wangduli to design our building. Everyone saw that this building was good, so we built this building according to the instructions in the design book. As a result, we have seasonal rainfall every spring, and the rain takes a long time. As a result, the design of the dwarves' buildings against precipitation is not good. When asked, they said that the dwarves' buildings are all in the mountains, and there is not so much precipitation. Up to now, every year I have to endure the rainy season, and the roof leaks. You are here in summer and have never seen this. "Jamura narrated these things.

"So, the Chamber of Commerce is now planning to repair the roof leaking during the rainy season? Use the slime monster's envelope?" Zhao Ji asked.

"That's right, so if you hunt slime monsters, the Chamber of Commerce can buy them, but we just need to die. After all, slime monsters are said to be difficult monsters to deal with. After all, they only appear in swamps. You have to be very careful in the swamp to hunt them. There are poisonous snakes, poisonous frogs, poisonous insects, and a lot of flies and mosquitoes in the swamp. You must be careful not to get injured in the swamp. I said this. Don't get hurt!" Jamura told Zhao Ji sentence by sentence. Zhao Ji also recorded the problems encountered on the rough paper one by one with black charcoal strips.

The information is very rich, and it also solved the problem of the slime monster's corpse after the game. Zhao Ji planned to ask some other people. It was really irrational to go straight to the swamp in a hurry in the morning. It was all the old alcoholics in the tavern who insisted on filling him with wine. He must have been a little drunk at the time, of course Just a little drunk, how can that little beer make Zhao Ji drunk.
