Through the wild age

Generally speaking, their process of obtaining the right of residence in Airo City went smoothly, although it was a bit baffling.

"There happens to be a vacant house on the West Street, you can live in it today." The old man said this on his own, regardless of whether they could keep up.

"Which one is it?" Chen Qiao finally figured it out. This old man just doesn't follow the rules. He just needs to get the information he wants, and he can avoid in-depth communication.

The elder brother yelled, "Third brother, come out."

Then I heard someone lazily saying: "Here it is, it's early in the morning. What are you shouting about..."

Chen Qiao looked at the sun outside, it turned out that it was still very early in the morning...

What came out was a young man in disheveled clothes. He looked about 24 or [-] years old, and his features were pretty. But look at his clothes, his movements, his half-squinted eyes and the gums in the corners of his eyes...

It's really, a little, frustrating.

As expected of the two fathers and sons, they were shocked enough to see the city lord's bare feet. It turns out that the city lord's son is also like this, regardless of the details...

Well, in fact, bare feet are very normal in this world, although since Chen Qiao tossed out the straw sandals, their father and son have not been barefoot in front of outsiders for a long time, and this is the city lord after all, and the legend is very wise old man.

If they remember correctly, most people in the city have to wear shoes, well, in fact, they haven't observed carefully, who would stare at other people's shoes?

The barefooted brother said to the son who was buttonholed, "Take these people to the house on West Street in a while."

"Which building?" His son seemed not fully awake yet.

"Which one else is there? It's the one that was vacated just now."

"Oh, it's the house of the rice merchant who was expelled." You said with a look of shit on your face.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, why are you dawdling?"

"Ah, but we haven't finished moving the rice and white noodles from the rice merchant. Hey, you said that it's not good to be seen by the people in the city during the day, and you want us to act at night, so I can't sleep well now. " His son complained nonchalantly, "If you are seen, you will be seen. What does it matter, if you don't move to our house, who else can you move to? Dad, you are the city owner anyway, aren't you?"

Hearing these words, several other people in the room were a little dizzy. What, what is going on? Does it mean that they are actually boarding a pirate ship now...

"Stinky boy, are you finished? Go back to the house and change!" The old city lord heard his veins twitching, and kicked his son out.

"Ahem, my son likes to joke, and he likes to tear me down the most. I really made a few laugh just now." Brother said in the most serious and sincere tone he could do.

"Hehehe..." Apart from laughing dryly, Chen Qiao didn't know how to react.

"How about this city, you will understand after living for a while, the city gates are always open, please do what you want."

"I'm really grateful to the city lord!" The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and Chen Qiao didn't know what to say except thank you.

"There are no rules in this city, but people with crooked roots will be expelled sooner or later." The city lord gave the final advice, but several people didn't quite understand what a crooked person is.But basically it can be understood that the city lord Ge Geng doesn't like those people who are "not upright". Since the city lord doesn't like them anymore, do you still want to stay in this city?

After a while, the third child of the city lord's house changed his clothes and came out, bid farewell to the city lord, Chen Qiao and the others also left with the young man.

The youngest of this brother Geng’s family yawned as he walked, passed by the old man who sold sesame seed cakes, and picked one up, and greeted him with a smile when he finished. people like it.

"Well, my name is Sansu. I will live in this city from now on. I can't see you when I look up. Let me introduce myself. I'm the third child of the owner of the city."

"Sansu?" The name is quite strange, and it doesn't fit the naming habits here.

"Oh, my father thinks that the sky is big and the earth is big, and the five grains are the biggest. Unfortunately, he didn't live up to it, so he gave birth to three. My eldest brother is called Dadao, and the second brother is called Ermai."

"Hehe, Sansu is a good name."

"Hahaha, it's so-so, and it sounds better than Sandou." (Note: Five grains are millet, beans, hemp, wheat, and rice.)

He was so funny, Chen Qiao couldn't help laughing out loud, completely oblivious to the fact that Baya's face was getting darker and darker.

There is also Mai Xi, because no matter what he does today, he can't attract his father's attention. That Sansu is the most annoying!

The house of this rice merchant is not bad, and he was expelled by the city lord for some unknown reason, and the rice grains in stock of their family were directly confiscated, that is, they were filled into the warehouse of the city lord's house.

Sansu sent the few of them there, and then asked the staff to carry away the remaining rice grains in the house, one person and one sack, without leaving a single piece of rice for them.If they hadn't known the original residents here, no one would have guessed that there used to be a rice merchant living here, and there was a large amount of rice stored in this house.

Chen Qiao and the others tried to clean the house before dark, quilts and so on, let's talk about it tomorrow.After spending more than half a year sleeping in the uninhabited wilderness, they finally found a place of their own. They all felt very at ease, and they all slept very well this night.

This house has three rooms, still the same, Chen Qiao and Baya sleep in one, Mai Xi and Dila sleep in one, and Lan Jia lives alone in the other.

The warehouse is quite big, and Chen Qiao doesn't know what to use it for now. There is also a facade room, the facade of the rice merchant, and it will never be in a bad location. Although it is not very prosperous, it is fine to do some business in the future not bad.

Baya got up early the next morning to sort out his things. His big package really stuffed a lot of things. At the beginning, he wanted to bring the big iron pot at home, but Chen Qiao vetoed it.But later, I was really afraid of Mai Xi's entanglement, so I had to ask the pregnant Ada to make another mold and cast a smaller iron pot to carry.

Hammer and chisel, etc., Baya would bring them here even if he said anything. Chen Qiao thought it was unbelievable at first, but now he thinks that the head of the house is really infinitely wise.Because there is no ironware in Airo City, and he also checked the rice merchant's inventory. Judging from the rough wheat flour, there must be no such thing as stone mills in this place.

Thinking about it, it is true. Although bronzes are not bad, they are not as hard and wear-resistant as irons. It is probably quite difficult to use bronzes to chisel stones.

So naturally, Chen Qiao discovered the first business opportunity, which was selling stone mills. Although it was hard work, it was better than eating mountains and empty fields.But when you think about it, it's wrong. If you want to make a stone mill, you need to consume hammers and chisels. The iron tools they have are limited now, so they need to use them sparingly.

Think about it again, why don't you make a big stone mill and help others grind some rice and wheat, although the income will definitely not be particularly high, but at least you can make ends meet.

Chen Qiao told Baya about this idea, and Baya was very happy, because raising children and raising a wife is what every man should do, and it made Chen Qiao depend on him, Baya felt very satisfied.
