Creating a Different World - Chapter 2500
[Chapter 2500 Entering the Town]
“Stop! What are you doing?” When they arrived at the entrance of the town, guards wearing wooden armor immediately blocked their way.
Zion got out of the car and said respectfully: “We are rural villagers living in the mountains not far away. We want to go into the town to sell some food.”
“Get off the car for inspection!”
“Yes!” Zion turned around and came to the side of the car, whispered to Jia Zhengjin who was sitting on it, “Your Highness, it’s a routine inspection, don’t worry!”
“Yeah!”
Everyone got off the car one after another and stood aside honestly.
The guard came over to carefully check the goods on the wooden trailer, grabbed a handful of wild water chestnut rice, took it to his nose and smelled it in confusion, turned around and asked: “What is this?”
“A specialty of the mountain,” Zion quickly replied, “This is called wild water chestnut rice, a food that tastes pretty good. Just put it in a pot and add water to cook, you can make quite delicious rice.”
“Rice?” The guard was confused, “What is that?”
There is no term for rice here, so the guard didn’t understand.
“You and the other soldiers can take some back. It’s very easy to cook. If you like it, we’ll bring some back to you later.” Zion knew that these guards had been well prepared, and it would be more convenient and safer to enter and exit Flato Town.
The guards looked at each other. Although they didn’t know what these were, they heard that they were food, so they turned back and took some out of their bags.
Their wages were not much, just enough to make ends meet. When they were on duty, they often took some benefits from passers-by and merchants.
“What are these?” After collecting the wild water chestnut rice, they turned to the second car, which was full of broad-leaved vegetables.
“Brother Soldier, this is also a specialty of the mountain, a plant called broad-leaved vegetables.” Zion said immediately, “This vegetable can be eaten raw, which is very refreshing, and it can also be cooked and eaten, and it tastes great.”
“Oh? You have so many weird things.” One of the guards said, “Are you sure it’s edible?”
“Of course!” Zion picked up a broad-leaved vegetable and tore off a leaf and put it in his mouth.
Seeing that he ate first, several guards hesitated to pick a leaf to taste it, and then their eyes lit up: “It tastes good!”
“Of course! Can you take some away?” Zion said with a smile, “They are all things from the mountains, not worth much.”
“Yeah~” The soldiers were not polite, and each took two broad-leaved vegetables.
Jia Zhengjin didn’t feel bad at all, after all, a large amount of food could be grown in one day.
“What is this car?”
“Soldier, these are soybean oil!”
“Soybean oil?”
“It’s the oil squeezed from beans, whether it’s for cooking or lighting.” Zion took a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to the guards for them to smell.
The soybean oil tasted very good. The guards took a look at the bottles in the car and waved their hands: “Give us a few bottles!”
“Okay!” Zion turned around and shouted to Heiman, “Quick, prepare a few bottles for the soldier!”
“Yes!” Heiman and others immediately took out a few bottles of soybean oil and handed them to the guards respectfully.
“Okay! It’s not easy for you to come here from the mountains,” the guard said with satisfaction, “Since you live nearby, you can be considered a resident of our Flato town. You have lived here for several years, right?”
“Yes, soldier, you have a good eye!” Zion smiled.
“I have seen you several times before,” the guard said, “but it is not convenient to go up and down the mountain, right? Do you want to consider moving to the town? After registering, you will be a formal resident of our Flato town!”
“Soldier, we don’t have any other skills, we can only live on the mountain.” Zion said, “I don’t know how to make a living in the town, it’s better to live in the mountains and occasionally come here to sell some things for some money, which is also okay.” “
Okay! It’s up to you anyway.” The guard said, “You don’t go down the mountain often, have you been hoarding these goods for a year?”
“Yes, yes!” Of course, Zion couldn’t tell the other party that this was made in one day, “but we may go down the mountain more frequently in the future.”
“Well, go in!” The guard nodded and let them go.
The team set off immediately and pulled the car into Flato Town.
When they arrived at the town, far from the gate, and came to a road with fewer people, Zion looked around and whispered to Jia Zhengjin: “Princess, for safety reasons, you are my granddaughter Mashi when you are here. We can no longer mention the Ressel Empire, nor can we call you princess. Do you remember?”
Perhaps they had agreed on this before entering the town. Jia Zhengjin certainly didn’t know that he was not the real Princess Mashi, but this kind of thing was clear.
“Don’t worry, I understand!”
“That’s good!” Zion breathed a sigh of relief, “We must be more cautious. Although the Dawn Front has almost forgotten our existence, it would be very dangerous if we were discovered. We will go to the market later, sell some things, buy some daily necessities, and immediately leave the city and return to the mountains!”
“I know,” Jia Zhengjin nodded.
“You must also be careful, and you must not let it slip!” Zion turned around and said to the others.
“You always tell us, and everyone remembers it by heart, and there will be no mistakes!” Heiman answered immediately.
Zion was relieved and whipped the horse to continue moving forward.
The team soon arrived at the bustling market, where most people in the town gathered, stalls were everywhere, and
the sounds of hawking were heard one after another.
Zion led the team and chose a good place to stop. He told Heiman to take down the straw mat and take some wild water chestnut rice, broad-leaved vegetables and bottled soybean oil from the car as samples. Then he wrote the corresponding prices on the ground with the charcoal he carried with him.
Then he waited by the car.
Jia Zhengjin was speechless when he saw this scene: “Zion, don’t you need to shout? You see, everyone is trying hard to attract customers, but we are silent here.”
Zion looked around nervously and whispered: “You are my granddaughter here. Although it is difficult for you, you must be careful with this title. Also, we don’t know how to shout. In the past, we put the goods down and those who are interested will buy them naturally.”
Hearing this, Jia Zhengjin was even more speechless: “The problem is that other people may not know our new ingredients!”
“What should we do?”
“Hmm” After thinking for a while, Jia Zhengjin turned his head to look at Ashley and the other two. An idea flashed in his mind, and he called them to his side and whispered a few words in their ears.
Ashley, Amanda, and Sarah were all very smart. They learned quickly and walked to the front of the stall and followed Jia Zhengjin’s instructions, shouting: “Take a look! New varieties of wild water chestnut rice, big-leaf beans, and broad-leaf vegetables, delicious, cheap, and nutritious! Big-leaf soybean oil, a good helper for cooking, new materials for lamp oil! Come and take a look! You won’t lose money if you buy it, and you won’t
be fooled if you buy it.” This shout really attracted a lot of people’s attention, and a large number of passers-by gathered around immediately.
