The line of slime corpses looks spectacular. Zhao Ji leaned against a tree and told others what he had gained last night. There were a total of 64 slime monsters. In addition to the two slime monsters he hunted in the previous two days, he hunted a total of 66 slime monsters. , greatly exceeding the number of games completed.
Zhao Ji crossed his arms and looked at Moore, the blacksmith apprentice, and said to everyone with a smile: "Now, please open the leaf ball carefully and check whether there is really a slime monster inside."
A group of people stepped forward one after another, and casually opened a few clusters of leaves, which indeed contained the slime monster that died after being pierced. Excitedly, a few drinkers opened the leaf clusters one by one to watch, while watching, they commented on the slime monster inside. Looking back, he even praised Keir's bravery.
Zhao Ji was very happy to hear it, thinking in his heart that he hoped they would boast more nicely.
Blacksmith Apprentice Moore followed the others to watch a few casually and then gave up, because what he saw had already exceeded the number of gambling wins. Moore walked to Todd's side, said a word to Todd, and walked over.
Looking at the complacent Keir, Moore felt that he had to explain clearly to him: "Keir, you know, I have already lost the bet, and I just told Todd that he will announce your victory when he returns to the tavern. .You just ask him for the winning silver coin."
Zhao Ji nodded, indicating that he knew. Seeing that Moore was a little disappointed, Zhao Ji patted him on the shoulder and said to him: "Okay, I get it. I told you, I don't want to stay in the artisan area all day, I want to do something different." The same thing, thank you for your kindness. You still have to think of a way to split firewood for various workshops, this job pays a lot of money, and someone will always do it."
"Hey, I see. I still have work, so I'll go back to the city first. If you have time, come and play with us. Everyone likes the stories you tell." After finishing speaking, Moore also patted Zhao Ji shoulder, and went back to the city alone.
Zhao Ji watched Moore walk away, sighed, and walked towards Todd.
Todd was excitedly dismantling the leaf **** with several other drinkers. Every time they opened one, everyone played with the dead slime monsters. They were excitedly bragging to each other, saying that they could beat dozens of slime by themselves. Strange.
Zhao Ji patted the arm of Todd who was bragging excitedly, pulled him out of the fantasy of flying cows, winked at him, and pointed to the Punika craftsman and his two apprentices.
Todd suddenly realized that he patted his head, made a clear expression with Zhao Ji, and the two walked over together.
Punica artisan is directing two of his apprentices to sort through the slime monster's corpse. They dealt with the leaf **** opened by the drinkers. Two apprentices reached into it to take out the slime monster, and showed the slime monster with both hands to the Punika craftsman.
The Punica craftsman is holding a notebook made of rough paper. While observing the slime monsters held by the apprentice, he is recording the size and outer layer damage of each slime monster with a fine charcoal pen, even the size of each slime monster. Color is also recorded.
Zhao Ji and Todd walked behind the Punika craftsman, stretched their heads from left to right, and looked at the craftsman's record of the slime monster. Zhao Ji is not very familiar with the commonly used local characters, so he can only get a general idea. Todd's literacy level is slightly better than Zhao Jineng's.
In other words, people here don’t have high requirements for their children to be literate. Many farmers are illiterate, and guards can recognize hundreds of commonly used words. There are even fewer drivers in the chamber of commerce. What is the vocabulary that often transports goods.
The strange thing is that the difficulty of literacy is actually not very high, at least Zhao Ji thinks so. There are many leather and rough paper notices on the notice board at the gate of the city. There are official notices from the baron's mansion, reward notices from the neighboring county, and the obituary of someone.
When he was working as a part-time job before, Zhao Ji liked to read characters in the past, and the commonly used words were all in it. Moreover, words are written on the signboards of each store, and some of the store's business history and the names of successive operators are written on the door of some stores.
When working part-time in the craftsman's workshop, he often asked the apprentices about the vocabulary of various tools and raw materials.
Generally speaking, there is actually no resistance to learning characters locally. It may be that the lack of specialized teachers has led to the current situation. Many local people's cultural knowledge is taught at home. Parents teach their sons and daughters. As much as parents know, generally speaking, their children know as much.
As for the equality between men and women, Zhao Ji himself observed it. Among ordinary people, men are valued because they have to use physical labor to get paid. As for higher classes, such as the stewards of the chamber of commerce, the number of stewards inside has obviously increased. In the Foxtail Chamber of Commerce, almost all the resident stewards on the second floor are women, and only those stewards who often go out to lead teams to transport goods , are all men.
Many apprentices in the various workshops in the artisan district are women, and in the higher levels of the city, such as the shepherds and priests in various temples, as far as Zhao Ji heard, they are basically divided in half. In the local aristocratic class, there is a knight who is a woman, and the number one heir to the baron is the eldest daughter of the baron. The nobles here seem to be regardless of gender, and anyone with strong ability can be a knight.
----------------------------------------------
Punika craftsmen carefully recorded the situation of each slime monster, and also marked the estimated value of the slime monster at the back. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
Zhao Ji did some calculations. Basically, big slime monsters are worth more, slime monsters with less damage are worth more, slime monsters with strange colors are worth more, and slime monsters with undamaged acid sacs are worth more. These are the four requirements.
He regretted it a little. He shouldn't have made some slime monsters into a sieve. It was enough to kill them. This would earn him more money.
Zhao Ji also noticed that some of these slime monsters have different colors, and their value is higher than other slime monsters. Zhao Ji then asked the Punika craftsman the reason.
The Punica craftsman did not answer directly, but called an apprentice who came with him to answer this question. Todd whispered to Zhao Ji that this young apprentice in his twenties was the chief apprentice of a craftsman in Punica, and he basically wanted to take over the class of a craftsman.
Like his master, this young apprentice in his twenties had a big beard, and explained the reason to Zhao Ji and Todd in a calm and reliable voice.
It turns out that there are many types of slime monsters, and what's interesting is that according to the recipe factors of slime monsters, slime monsters will also produce different changes. Take the slime monster that Zhao Ji brought to the leather shop for the first time as an example. That slime monster feeds on human excrement, so it is ugly in color, but it is huge. Most of the slime monsters recorded now are fed on animals in the swamp, so they are of medium size and smooth and bright in color. As for the rare slime monsters of other colors, they feed on other things, so they are smaller in size and have weird colors. But this kind of slime monster can be treated separately, which is more cost-effective than simply making an envelope.
As for the changes caused by what they ate, I don't know. After all, the slime monsters burrow in the mud of the swamp during the day, and it is difficult to observe at night.
