Star of Civilization

The stall owner glanced at Joyna: she was wearing an old dusty cloak and a torn hood on her head, with only two eyes showing. He looked like a down-to-earth scavenger, dressed in poverty.

He immediately replied nonchalantly, "Then there's no need to say that? Isn't it obvious, of course it's food!"

The stall owner wanted to sneer a few more words, saying that Joyna was a scavenger from out of town, but it was unnecessary to think about it, and he was too lazy to vomit, so he swallowed the words back in his stomach.

"food…"

Joyna reluctantly asked, "Did you make this kind of food yourself?"

"Definitely not. The worm cakes I sell here are all purchased products, but other ingredients are also sold." The stall owner curled his lips after speaking, and then asked Joina without looking directly, "What are you asking? What?"

In order to draw out more information, Joyner deliberately said, "It's nothing, I just think this thing is made by bugs... Maybe it's not delicious, right?"

"It's not delicious? It's dried and ground into powder, and then other things are added. This is called synthetic food, understand?"

Hearing this, the stall owner looked disgusted and said excitedly, "What an idiot! This is a wonderful food that we can only make in the hidden sand castle. It can not only fight hunger, but also store it for at least half a year. It can be made into soup and has many uses. How could you despise the taste of such a good thing?"

Joyna was stunned for a moment, synthetic food?

"What, do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Ah no, I'm just curious."

Seeing Joina's disbelief, the stall owner seemed a little unhappy, and he said loudly, "Tell you, bug cakes can't be bought anywhere, this is the unique supply of Yinsha Castle. Food. Specialties, understand? Specialties! You can't get them anywhere else!"

"Oh, how are these specialties made?" Joyna nodded in confusion, looking very interested, and continued to ask.

Seeing Joyna's ignorant face, the stall owner suddenly became energetic and explained it for her for free.

"Only a big machine can make such perfect food. You can eat a piece of it for a day and not get hungry. Manual? Impossible, never want to make such food! And there is no such machine anywhere else, Because this machine is said to have been dug out of the rubble."

"Dug from the rubble?" Joyna murmured and repeated.

"Oh, what a country bumpkin from out of town! I don't know that."

The more and more the owner of the stall said, the more proud he became.

"Wait, who are you talking about—who are they?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's the Xuanming Gang, the big boss in this city, so synthetic food processing is also an industry controlled by the Xuanming Gang."

"So powerful? Have you seen this kind of machine with your own eyes?" Joyna continued to ask in order to confirm her guess.

"Hmph, of course I've seen it before! My two eldest nephews work under them. I must have some privilege to do this kind of business." The owner of the stall smiled smugly.

"So you have the privilege!" Joyna pretended to be surprised.

"If you want to hear about this kind of worm cake, then I'll tell you more! It has a lot of history... It is said that there was a big famine in the past, and this thing saved the lives of a large number of people."

Hearing what the stall owner said about the situation, Joyna was even more sure of her guess, but she almost didn't laugh out loud.

In fact, she had already seen the clues from the appearance of the insect cake, and she had been confirmed by the owner of the stall, so she already understood most of it.

Although she had never seen those machines, she finally came to a reliable conclusion through the search of memory - isn't this worm cake the conventional compressed dry food in the pre-civilization era?

The compressed dry food of the pre-civilization era is rich in nutrients, high in calories, and contains various trace elements needed by the human body, and can be used as wild food that can be preserved for a long time without deterioration.

And the production process of compressed dry food is not complicated, so in addition to the army, many private food factories will produce it.

It's just that now the raw materials have been replaced with bugs and other things, and even the name has not been preserved.

In Joyna's impression, it was really not something that could be done by hand in that era, and there must be a corresponding machine. And there is a corresponding machine, it means that someone will use this kind of machine, and a series of supporting technologies such as the corresponding technology are also retained.

It seems that in this era, the pre-civilization still left a lot of useful things, but I just don't know it. If these relics can be found, coupled with her knowledge, maybe the glorious civilization of the past can really be recreated.

"Then can you take me to the place where the worm cakes are made?" Joyna asked, staring at the stall owner.

"What are you thinking? That's impossible!" The stall owner shook his head like a rattle.

"why?"

"Oh, I said you are, why don't you understand? Didn't I tell you that the business of making worm cakes is monopolized by the Xuanming Gang, and everything from the raw materials to the production process is kept secret. Don't talk about you, It's impossible for ordinary people to get close to that place, how can they see it?"

"But, you just said you've seen it."

"That's different."

Seeing that the boss changed his appearance, Joyna knew that it would be useless to ask any more.

So she nodded and said, "I just came here, and there are indeed some things I don't know. But I would like to ask, apart from these, what other businesses are monopolized by the Xuanming Gang in Hidden Sand Castle?"

"That's too much, water, salt, grain, coins..."

Hearing Joyna ask this, Tan Chang said a few things at will.

But he suddenly stopped halfway through, his eyes became alert, "Hey, I said you are here to buy something, or to inquire about news? Why do you ask so many things about the Xuanming Gang?"

"Oh, didn't I say," Joyna said calmly, "I'm in business, I just came here, and I still don't understand some things here, so I want to find someone to ask clearly, so as not to always be Others are treated like hillbillies."

Seeing the vigilant gaze of the stall owner, Joyna felt that it would not be good to stay any longer.

Anyway, she asked what she should have asked, so she didn't want to stay any longer, and made up a nonsense.

"Hey, I said, why are you so ignorant!" The stall owner returned to his ignorant look again, UU reading www.uukanshu.com casually stuck his waist and turned his head to the other side.

"If you want to ask for news, then you are in the wrong place. You should go to Nancheng and find a tavern or Jiguan to inquire!"

"Oh, okay, so be it."

"Dang!"

Joyner threw out a shiny coin and dropped it on the stall in front of the vendor.

"It's a small gift for you for making you spend so much time, thank you."

"Um, a gift?"

The stall owner was stunned when he heard the sound, and immediately turned his head to see the shiny thing. As soon as he grabbed the dropped coin, his eyes lit up!

Ten rupees!

Oh my god! The vendor owner couldn't believe his eyes.

This amount of money is equivalent to his monthly income!
