Chapter 2 I don't know the goods

In the evening, the convoy finally arrived at a small village.

Clarice jumped out of the car and shouted to Todd, "I'll ask someone to repair the roof and send some flyers. Look at this kid, don't let him run away. He's worth twenty Jinweits. If he runs away, I'll deduct it from your salary!"

Todd replied in a muffled voice: "Yes, Lord Commander."

"Shut up, don't call me lord, I'm poor!" Clarice left angrily.

She was indeed very angry because what God sent her was a worthless guy.

This guy who claims to be Fink doesn't even have a copper Vite on his body.

This is so annoying.

However, it is rare that this is also a fool, who has no intention of bargaining. God knows that she offers such a price to suppress the other party. You must know that there are too many rogues in this world who refuse to compensate at the price. They always try their best to deny it and refuse to admit the facts, so you must first raise the price and give the other party a space to bargain, so that you can get normal compensation.

However, the boy's generosity was soon realized by the merciless leader that this was a "silly boy who can be oppressed". Since God did not drop her gold coins, she could regard this as a labor given to her by God.

People always get more and more greedy, not to mention that this young man did something that she thought was "very stupid".

So before leaving, Claris told the girls to hand over all the work to the black-haired boy. Although the girls were reluctant to let it go, Claris didn't care whether he was handsome or not, it would not be a reason to be exempted from labor.

After the convoy stopped, there was a lot of work to do, they had to build a stage, prepare a performance, and make a fire to cook.

Because the troupe's living conditions are simple and there is no special chef, the girls have always taken turns to cook.

Today is Lanti, the exposed-dressed little girl is responsible for cooking.

"Girls should not be stained with fireworks, so let me do this kind of thing." Xiuyi said to Lanti with a smile.

"Forget it." Lanti started cutting vegetables: "If the leader is not here, you don't have to do anything. Isn't it just breaking the roof? It costs less than twenty Jinweites. I guess at most two Jinweites can solve all the problems. The leader is a bit too much for you, but it's all your fault. You shouldn't have said as much as you promise."

"It's okay, but no matter how I say that, I've made you feel cold and I'm always a little sad. Besides, I'm not short of this little money."

"Is that right?" Lanti stared at him with a pair of wonderful eyes.

This made Xiu Yi a little embarrassed: "I mean, I thought I had brought enough money, but in fact there were always some things that were out of control."

"So you can only accept the price of the team leader with your teeth now? Do you regret it?"

"To be honest, I don't mind doing anything for you to compensate, so there is no need for me to regret it." Xiu Yi smiled.

"Oh, since you are willing to help, please help me deal with the dishes on the side. I mean, if you know how to cook, it doesn't matter if you can't cook it. Anyway, you can't eat it. In fact, you shouldn't take out those weird things, otherwise the leader might not be so angry."

In order to make up for Claris's losses, Xiu Yi specially brought out several bottles of precious potions for her. Unfortunately, not everyone knows the good things. A bottle of precious potions that can be sold at least hundreds of Jinweits in the market. In Claris's eyes, it is no different from a bottle of clean water.

She angrily believed that God not only did not give her a God of Wealth, but instead gave her a little liar in the world. So she decided to let Xiu Yi work to make up for the losses, and at the same time educated the boy well to let him know that deception is an immoral act.

This made Xiu Yi helpless.

Those potions with good therapeutic effects cannot reflect their value because the girls are not sick or painful. Auxiliary potions are basically used for magicians and warriors, and it doesn’t make sense for ordinary people to use them. As for the potions of the beauty, they cannot be seen immediately. The ones that can see the effect immediately are those potions of cursed potions and poisons.

Considering that the girls didn't make any big mistakes, he really didn't want them to try the "to die" taste.

As for the seeds of the magic plant, Xiu Yi doubted whether Clarice would immediately throw away if he took them out.

He still has some magic swords that can be sold for some money, and he doesn't have to worry about Clarice not knowing the goods, but the problem is that he obviously can't put such a large object on his body. The appearance of the ring will undoubtedly reveal the existence of the ring, and the swords and other weapons will also scare these girls.

He carried all the wealth of the entire Purgatory Island, but it was all books, medicines, weapons, energy crystals, magic amplification gems, and so on. They were either unable to prove their value or could not appear in front of others. Perhaps the only thing that could make Clarice confirm its value was Hines's staff, and women were always very sensitive to gems.

But he doubted that if he really gave the staff to Clarice, the woman would sled all the gems on the staff and then throw them away.

That's really a huge congestion of things.

For most ordinary people, let alone the staff, even magicians are just legendary existences. They have no chance to see them at all, and they will not think that the reason why people who fall from the sky can become "a magician."

Especially since this young man was so young, he did not show any magician's arrogance or a commensurate age.

Everyone knows that big men are always extremely proud, especially those rare magicians in the world.

If Claris asked for compensation, Xiuyi retaliated with the arrogant attitude of "You dare to ask for money from a magician?", then considering the fact that he fell from the sky, Claris might shut up immediately. But Xiuyi did not show that arrogance, and he immediately accepted the compensation claim.

That's why Claris decided to requisition Shuyi when he said he had no money and tried to take out the potion to compensate him.

She would never believe that a magician would be so polite. No matter how he fell from the sky, he could not be a magician.

Even if he is a magician, he is just a "bullying magician."

This is what Clarice knows.

At this moment, Lanti said this, Xiuyi touched her nose and smiled bitterly: "If I say that I am rich enough to rival a country, you will definitely not believe it."

"Everyone has the right to dream." The little girl answered readily.

Alas, cook honestly.

There are about thirty people in the Purple Loren Opera and Dance Theatre, mainly women, and less than one-third are men.

The entire song and dance troupe has a total of five carriages, a truck, and those performance props, which are almost the entire industry of the song and dance troupe.

In addition to the leader of Clarice, there is also a manager in charge named Alec Binney, who is mainly responsible for arranging the affairs of the opera troupe, and a foreign affairs officer, who is mainly responsible for contacting local theaters and discussing the costs of renting venues. However, such performances of renting venues are usually only held in big cities. If you go to a small place, the opera troupe will make a simple arrangement and now set up a performance shed.

In contrast, although the venue rental fee in big cities is high, there are many nobles there and many people who can afford to watch performances. The income of the opera troupe will increase compared to usual. Therefore, for the opera troupe, being able to perform in big cities has always been their favorite. Unfortunately, many high-end venues do not allow small opera troupes to enter, which makes Clarice often rely on some scattered performances to maintain expenses.

Therefore, whenever they arrive at a place, they will immediately set up a stage to prepare for the performance, and the troupe leader and foreign affairs officers go to business and attract customers.

When Clarice came back, she had already sent out the flyers and brought several locals to repair the roof. She bargained with the locals for half a day and finally got it done with a goldwitter plus eighty silverwitters.

As soon as she came back, she shouted, "Oh, that little boy is still there? That's great. Tell me what job you have arranged for him? Don't try to fool me, I know you can't walk when you see a beautiful boy. Todd, please answer me."

The silly coachman Todd replied: "I saw him cooking, doing some transport work, and flirting with Lanti."

"Lanti!" Clarice screamed.

Ranti angrily smashed Todd's face with a towel and shouted, "Tord, you bastard, I didn't expect that a fool like you would also make trouble behind the scenes!"

Todd touched his face and smiled silly: "Mom said, stupid people are not equal to good people."

Xiu Yi was only interested in watching the ridiculous scene in front of him.

During those days on Purgatory Island, he had to live a nervous life every day and speak carefully. He had to avoid the eyes that Heines had arranged everywhere, and had to think about it repeatedly every thing he did.

And now, in this musical and dance troupe, he sees the natural interaction between people.

They can laugh and scold loudly and speak freely. There is no difference between superiors and subordinates, and everyone lives equally.

This is really enviable.

Perhaps this kind of life has always been what she hoped to get rid of for the leader Clarice, but for Shuyi, this kind of life is exactly what she dreamed of in the years. Maybe it won't take long to get tired of it, but at least now, he likes it very much.

After the playfulness, Clarice asked Ranti: "My Ranti baby, what are we eating today?"

Ranti replied weakly: "Fried mountain greens, big ear pinecones, oh, and some leftover tomato sauce and rom soup for lunch."

“It sounds really disgusting.”

"It's winter now, and we don't have much money," Lanti replied helplessly.

Clarice clenched his fists: "Well, just eat these. Let everyone eat quickly and make money... I hope there are more customers today."

Looking at the current dilemma of the song and dance troupe, Xiu Yi finally couldn't help saying: "Captain Clarice, in fact, even in winter, there are many rich raw materials for processing into food, and it doesn't cost money."

Xiu Yi's words not only made Claris stunned, but also the other girls looked at Xiu Yi together.

Clarice glanced at Shuyi, confirmed that he was not watching the joke, and asked in confusion: "Are you sure we can find other food?"

"Yes, Captain Clarice, I noticed that there are some wild mushrooms growing on the periphery of this village. Even in winter, they still grow well and are scattered and easy to pick."

"But mushrooms are poisonous and cannot be eaten!"

"Yes, Captain Clarice, but not every mushroom is poisonous, and most importantly, the toxins of mushrooms are not impossible to remove. In fact, that's not difficult."

"You mean you can remove the poison of those mushrooms?" Clarice's eyes widened in surprise, she couldn't imagine that the little boy could do this.

Xiuyi nodded: "Yes, I've seen that kind of mushroom, and I'm absolutely sure you can enjoy its deliciousness without worrying about poisoning."

"How can I believe you? I feel you may want to poison us all and run away by yourself." Clarice shouted.

Xiu Yi said helplessly: "You may not believe me, but I just want to help you and make up for the losses I have caused to you. Don't forget that I will eat those mushrooms too."

Clarice held his hands and looked at Xiuyi, and after watching for a while, he said:

“No one here can make mushrooms.”

"I will." Xiu Yi smiled, "and I'm confident that I'm doing a good job."

"Are you proficient in cooking?"

"You can try the dishes I made first."

Ranti brought a pot of mountain green vegetables made from Shuyi to Claris.

Clarice picked up one with her slender fingers and tasted it, her eyes widened, and then she screamed: "It's pretty good, oh Fink, you're a wonderful cook!"

Lanti also smiled and said, "I think I can let him try."

"So OK, let him eat first when it's done." Clarice nodded in agreement.

That night, the members of the singing and dancing troupe enjoyed a mushroom feast made by Xiu Yi for them. Although everyone was careful at the beginning, no one dared to slap in it, when they saw Xiu Yi eating very much and having nothing to do, they finally let go of their concerns.

They were soon intoxicated by the delicious taste of mushrooms.

This night became the best food the song and dance troupe has enjoyed since its establishment. In Clarice's words: "Even aristocrats will definitely not eat so many delicious foods. We have become the happiest people in the world."

Her requirements are not high.

Her eyes looked at Xiuyi finally changed.

At that time, Xiuyi said to Claris: "I will sell the bottles of potions I carry with me after entering the city and return the money I owe you. As for now, I don't mind helping you do what I can to express my apology, such as I will cook from today. Just treat it as... car money and interest."

Clarice agreed without hesitation.
