Zhao Ji followed the flow of people towards the shop he was going to.
The coins in people's pockets in the market are transferred from one person's purse to another's pocket, and often after a while, they will be traded to the next person again and put into another person's pocket. There are legitimate transactions and some pickpocket labor. Zhao Ji accidentally saw the actions of these pickpockets several times.
However, he had no intention of catching these pickpockets. Firstly, the other party was obviously a gang. Second, the pickpockets only took out a few of the most valuable silver or copper coins from the victim's purse, not the entire purse. Steal them all.
Since the other party knew how to restrain himself, Zhao Ji didn't intend to cause trouble, but kept a close eye on his pocketbook.
The market was so crowded that it seemed like farmers from all over Kendall City had come here to trade holiday preparations at this very moment.
The liveliest festival in the area is just around the corner.
It was the Harvest Festival.
It is said that during the Harvest Festival every year, basically all people will celebrate the end of a year's hard work at this time. It was the time when the laborers had worked hard all year and it was finally time to rest. Every household was full of food, chickens, ducks and fish were hung high on the beams of the houses, and the sweet fruits from the fruit trees beside their fields were also dried in the sun. Dried into dried fruit and preserved for enjoyment.
Different from the festivals of Zhao Ji's previous life, most people in the previous life regarded the middle of winter as the end and beginning of a year. But in this different world, here, around Kendall City, people use the end of autumn as the end and beginning of a year.
Of course, the middle of winter is still used as the rotation point of the year in the calendar, which is not in line with people's common sense.
After a while, Zhao Jicai squeezed people to his destination, a shop specializing in the sale of various rainproof gear.
It may be because most of the farm work has ended, and the business of this store is obviously not very good. At this time, there are no customers in the store, and only the owner of the store is sorting things out of boredom, packing things that are not needed into large wooden boxes .
After Zhao Ji came in, he walked around. The store owner also asked Zhao Ji to choose the rainproof gear he liked, and after he picked it up, he came to his place to pay the bill. It seems that the store owner obviously thinks that Zhao Ji is not a street gangster, but a customer with enough purchasing power.
There are many types of rainproof gear in the store, so I won't introduce them here. The price of each rain gear is marked on a small wooden sign next to the merchandise.
Interestingly, in order to remind illiterate farmers to buy, the specific price and quantity of iron coins and copper coins are drawn on each small wooden sign with colored pencils.
Under a wool felt rainproof cloak that Zhao Ji was looking at, there were eleven golden copper coins and three black iron coins drawn on a small wooden sign. Zhao Ji could tell at a glance that his favorite equipment was priced at eleven copper coins and three iron coins.
Zhao Ji chuckled, thinking that people have their own little wisdom, he should let go of his identity as a time traveler, let go of the airs of being a visitor from another world, and enjoy a brand new life.
He came to the shop owner with the felt cloak he wanted to buy, and waved the goods in his hand to him. The shop owner immediately reported the specific price of the item, and Zhao Ji stopped bargaining. He counted twelve copper coins from his wallet and handed them to the other party. He took the seven iron coins he had found and walked out of the shop.
Since it was not the Harvest Festival here, Zhao Ji didn't spend much time in the noisy wild grape market, and returned directly to the chamber of commerce.
The stewards and fellows in the chamber of commerce who have not left the city to work are making their own preparations for the upcoming festival. Zhao Ji heard from the old man at the gate of the chamber of commerce that the chamber of commerce would not work during the harvest festival. From the harvest festival to the next week, the chamber of commerce would not operate.
Of course, the young guy and Zhao Ji who live on the third floor of the chamber of commerce can still visit the chamber of commerce, but the door of the chamber of commerce will not be opened. If you want to enter and exit the Chamber of Commerce, you can only go through the small door on the main gate. Remember to look for him when you come in and out, because he will close all the doors of the chamber of commerce.
Zhao Ji put the things back in his room, worried that most of the employees and stewards of the chamber of commerce hadn't come back, wondering if they could make it to the important harvest festival.
For this reason, he made a special trip to the office of the old president of the Chamber of Commerce, Foxtail, and asked him when the members of the Chamber of Commerce would return.
The old foxtail president stroked his beard with a smile, and after counting the days, he replied to Zhao Ji: "It will be about a day or two, either tomorrow afternoon or the day after tomorrow at noon. What's the matter, you are so anxious to send What kind of badge is handed over to Jamura for safekeeping, are you so worried about me?" After speaking, he winked at Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji curled his lips, he can rest assured, with the shrewdness of this old man, it is estimated that he has studied and pondered his badge for the past two days, so it is strange that he can rest assured. Of course, in fact, what he hopes more is to see Jamura return safely, after all, the transportation distance this time is too long. It was still in the middle of autumn when Jamura and the others set off, but it is already late autumn now.
Considering that the wilderness in Kendall County is not safe, he is naturally quite worried about the safety of their group.
Zhao Ji, who was relieved, didn't answer the words of the old President Huwei, and left after waving to him.
It was getting late, and he had to go to the Table Corner Tavern for a drink to celebrate Ganner's becoming a craftsman.
This is the one that Zhao Ji is holding on to recently. For Zhao Ji, it is very necessary for him to become good friends with an armor craftsman. Although he has a very good relationship with the Punica craftsman now, behind the Punica craftsman is his big family. Although it can provide Zhao Ji with more help, it will also add more constraints.
As for Ganna, who has just become an armor craftsman, his background is unknown, but it obviously won't bring any trouble to Zhao Ji. Therefore, Zhao Ji can become friends with Ganna craftsman a lot. After all, as the only armor craftsman in Kendall City in the future, his importance is self-evident.
When Zhao Ji arrived at the Table Corner Tavern, Ganna hadn't come yet, so it was probably not time to finish work. Zhao Ji took advantage of the time when there were few people, and occupied a place in the corner of the tavern. Tonight is to celebrate Ganna becoming a craftsman, so Zhao Ji ordered two roasted chicken legs, one tender lamb chops, one Kendall fish soup, two new wheat breads from Todd, and of course, the most important of beer. I don't know if Gan Na can drink strong alcohol, Zhao Ji himself does not drink strong alcohol.
For beer, Zhao Ji asked for a small barrel of ale. Before eating, Zhao Ji drank the beer first. After all, in the market in the afternoon, Zhao Ji was exhausted by the crowds. Going around the market made Zhao Ji exhausted, more tiring than hunting thirty or forty slime monsters.
Let's have a glass of beer first, and after drinking the whole glass in one gulp, Zhao Jicai feels full of energy again.
Seeing that Keir and the others had an appointment for a drink at night, and the other party hadn't come yet, taking advantage of the time when the tavern was not busy, Todd sat across from Zhao Ji and asked about Zhao Ji's recent affairs.
Zhao Ji took the time to give Todd the intermediate fee to Todd, which was quite a lot of money, and as Zhao Ji hunted more slime monsters, this money has been handed over to Todd intermittently. At this time, Todd made a small amount of money from Keele, and the relationship with Keele became much better.
Zhao Ji told Todd his recent hunting stories. Of course, he also concealed a lot of inconvenient information, and exaggerated a lot of results and hunting situations.
Hearing that Keir went hunting in the swamp with the pastors and assistants of the Saturnalia Church, Todd was obviously interested in this, and asked Keir to talk about it carefully. What does Zhao Ji say? It can't be said that this is a limited tentative cooperation. He needs the influence of the church, and the pastor of the Saturnalia Church needs to come for nothing to get rid of monsters.
Zhao Ji can only talk about trivial details that don't affect, and then make up some things that the two cooperated to eradicate a batch of slime monsters.
After talking about this incident, Zhao Ji also took the opportunity to propose a new cooperation plan to Todd.
This cooperation plan has been in his mind for a long time. He has been thinking about this cooperation since he started hunting slime monsters.
The cooperation program is not complicated. Zhao Ji needs Todd to pay attention to who has some troubles among the drinkers who come to the tavern in the tavern. Todd introduced the troubled drinker to Zhao Ji, and asked Zhao Ji to solve the trouble of the drinker.
The entrustment between the drinker and Zhao Ji will be witnessed by Todd, a third-party intermediary, and Zhao Ji will draw one-tenth of the entrustment fee from the entrustment to Todd~www.mtlnovel.com~Of course, the entrustment fee is It was negotiated by the entrusted drinker and Zhao Ji, and Todd could supervise.
This cooperation plan obviously made Todd a little excited, and he quickly gave himself a glass of wine to suppress his excitement.
"Ha, Keel, what a great idea you have! Kendall has long needed a place like this for all the troubles everyone has. The dull place in the town government center, where dull gentlemen never They will pay attention to the real needs of us people, and the guards will always push away troublesome things. As a result, in the end, everyone can only drink to relieve their worries. This is a really good thing for everyone.”
Todd then said excitedly: "Then when shall we start?"
"You can do whatever you want. You can start now. After all, it's up to you to find out the trouble. It can't be said that someone came to me, right? I don't even know where I am doing every day!"
"Hehe, I thought of one. In the morning, Mr. Weiss from the farm outside the city came to drink and complained about something strange happening in their farm, which caused everyone in their farm to be punished."
"What's weird?"
"I don't know about that. Mr. Weiss didn't make it clear. He just drank a few glasses of wine with a bitter face and went out. However, when he comes to the city from the farm outside the city, he basically comes here to drink. A glass and a half. When he comes tomorrow, I'll introduce him to you. How is it?"
"Okay, I'll come early tomorrow morning."
"Actually, you don't come that early. After all, it will take a while for Mr. Weiss to get from outside the city to the city. You can come back after eating."
"Okay, then it's settled, I hope the first order will not be a big trouble."
