Mercenaries and Adventurers

Walking to the door of the tavern, Zhao Ji looked up at the tavern's house number, and from his limited knowledge of local characters, he could spell "Wharton's Full Belly". Of course, Zhao Ji knew that this tavern was the most famous in the local area. , and the corresponding consumer price is also the highest in the local area.

Walk up a few wooden steps, and next to the steps are the ornamental flowers and plants specially planted by the tavern. The autumn sunshine can't stop the strong flowers from blooming. The door of the tavern was wide open, and Zhao Ji walked in directly. There was a wide open wooden window beside the door, which made the entrance of the tavern very well lit. From the road outside, you could directly see the whole hall of the tavern. Zhao Ji thought that this must be what the tavern owner meant. When the tavern was full of guests, people passing by outside could also feel the tavern's exuberant popularity.

In the hot afternoon, there was no one drinking in the lobby of the tavern, and the male and female waiters in the tavern were listlessly cleaning. Seeing Zhao Ji coming in, they swept Zhao Ji's clothes, and one by one continued to wipe the table listlessly, and to oil the oil lamp. Zhao Ji saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he walked to the bar in the middle of the hall on the first floor of the tavern, and knocked on the table.

The bartender who was cleaning the small copper wine glass looked up at Zhao Ji, and said to Zhao Ji: "Your age, you are not ready to drink strong alcohol, um, your clothes don't seem to be suitable for drinking wine, so child, what would you like?"

The bartender is tall and thin, wearing a clean cotton shirt with a silver pendant on the neckline, which is printed with a charm that Zhao Ji doesn't know the meaning of. gem.

"Well, I am, uh, I'm not here to buy wine, I'm here to buy a small bucket of iced mint water for the city gate guards, do you sell iced mint water here?" Zhao Ji was asked by him The child was depressed. He himself was not young in his previous life, and he often drank alcohol, but his body is still a little young now. Regardless, he quickly asked how the iced mint water was sold.

"Yes, but we don't keep accounts. If the guards want anything, they have to exchange it with copper coins." The bartender took out a shiny copper coin from his shirt pocket, held it up to Zhao Ji's eyes and motioned to him. .

"I have money, so I will pay the bill. However, I would like to ask first, how do you sell this iced mint water?" Zhao Ji was still a little worried about the price. He didn't have much money, and he had to save some money for insurance It’s okay, you can’t spend it all at once.

"One cup is one copper coin, a large cup costs two copper coins, and if you want a small bucket, you need ten copper coins." Seeing that Zhao Ji had plans to buy it, the bartender took out an ordinary copper coin from the bar. Zhao Ji showed the cup and a much larger wooden cup with a copper hoop and a handle, and pointed to the small wooden barrels placed horizontally behind him to indicate that the so-called small barrels were the ones in the back.

Considering that you need to ask for information, you can't be too stingy, so an ordinary wine glass is too small. There are four guards in total, and the big cup costs eight copper coins, while the small bucket only costs ten copper coins, which is much more than the four big cups. In the hot autumn weather, Zhao Ji also wanted to drink some cool drinks. The beer he drank in the morning had already turned into sweat. After thinking about it, he decided to buy a small bucket, which seemed more affordable.

"I want a small bucket of iced mint water. It must be iced. Please." Zhao Ji took out a small handful of coins from his purse, and put away the extra copper coins and unusable iron coins. go back.

The bartender put the coins into a metal box under the bar, and said to the listless waiters in the hall, "Go get an empty bucket, the size of which should be a small bucket. And half a dozen ice cubes, and a small packet of mint." The two waiters I agreed, and went down the stairs from the place next to the wall in the hall to the warehouse below.

"You can sit and wait for a while, it will be ready soon." The bartender said to Zhao Ji, and then he took out a jar made of delicate marble from under the bar,

Then he took some strong wine from a barrel behind him in a copper cup. Then stopped and waited for something else.

During this moment of waiting, the bartender looked at Zhao Ji who was sitting in front of the bar and asked, "Are you a descendant of the city gate guards? I think you prepared cooling products for them in this weather."

"No, I need to ask them about something. Do you know about slime monsters?" Zhao Ji returned.

The bartender shook his head: "I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. Why are you asking about it?"

"I'm planning to hunt a batch of slime monsters. The Foxtail Chamber of Commerce is going to repair the roof of the chamber of commerce. The envelope of the slime monsters may come in handy." Zhao Ji didn't have the nerve to talk about his bet, so he had to use the chamber of commerce to repair the roof as an excuse. Question for the bartender.

"That's good, but can the slime monster's envelope be used on the roof of a house? I don't know much about it." The bartender seemed to be confused about the relationship between the slime monster's envelope and the roof.

"Oh, I heard about Jamura, do you know Jamura?" Zhao Ji replied.

"I grew up with Cullen, we know each other." The bartender nodded.

"Okay, Jamra said, put the slime monster's envelope on the roof, under the tiles, and it will keep out the rain."

"Is that all right?"

"Ah, we need to treat the slime monster's envelope first, so that the slime monster's envelope will change from permeable to waterproof. I don't know how to do it."

"Ah, ok, thank you, boy. The waiters have brought everything here, it's my job." The bartender nodded and beckoned the waiter to bring the things.
