The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Old John eventually took Hughes to where the grocery store was.

At this time, the grocery store has changed a lot, from a grocery store selling only sweet powder at the beginning to a grocery store with a wide range of products. It has moved from a narrow thatched hut to the current wood-brick building.

Wooden multi-layered shelves were placed in the grocery store in an orderly manner, dividing the grocery store into several areas. The layout of the supermarket in William's previous life still surprised Hughes secretly.

The goods on the shelves are arranged in categories, sweet powder, lizard meat, wild fruit, rye flour, clay pots, clay bowls, brooms, briquettes, red clay stoves, chalk, small blackboards, and the most precious thing-salt like snow !

Hughes was overwhelmed by the dazzling array of products, and his whole brain was spinning like a spinning top.

He pointed to the sweet powder on the food shelf and asked Old John, "Master John, what is this?"

"Oh." With a reserved look, Old John cast a casual glance, and said disapprovingly, "We call this stuff sweet powder! It's a product of our lord baron!"

As for how William's sweet powder came from? Old John didn't say, didn't know, and didn't want to know.

He can persuade William from the perspective of considering William, but he will never pry into secrets that William does not want to tell.

This is one of the reasons why William trusted Old John so much.

Even under the peeping of the magic mirror, Old John has always been loyal to William.

"Sweet powder? Master John, do you mean this thing has a sweet taste? Is it as sweet as honey?" Hughes' eyes gleamed greedily.

"Honey?" Hearing this word, Old John salivated in a conditioned reflex, recalling the taste of honey he had tasted in his heart, and after comparing the two, he couldn't help shaking his head and said, "It's not as good as it is! No! It's just a little sweet."

"Even if it's a little bit, it's precious food!" Hughes stared at the sweet powder intently, as if looking at a rare treasure.

"May I taste a little?"

Old John nodded. The reason why Hughes was called here was to do business with him.

After all, if there is no "living water" from outside, the economy of Nisai Town will go bankrupt.

Hundreds of knights, plus infrastructure development projects, and a large number of wild slaves, opening their eyes every day is a mountain of expenses, even if there are all kinds of precious things produced by the gourmet table to shear the villagers with scissors, William's more than one thousand gold coins rolled around, and he was almost unable to support it.

Especially when winter is over and the closed economy of Nisai Town will have to open up.

Therefore, in order to avoid the first economic crisis in Nisai Town, William ordered Old John to find a way to find Hughes, a businessman who had been happy with him before, hoping to harvest other areas through him.

Hughes is very important to the current Nise Town!

Therefore, Old John naturally has no objections to this small request from his partner.

Kerry Mark's father was there, and when he saw Old John nodding, he took out a clay bowl, and then used a clay spoon to scoop a few tablespoons of sweet powder into the bowl from the jar of sweet powder.

Then he bent down and picked up a clay pot with a handle from the red clay stove under his feet.

The spout fell down, and steaming hot water rushed into the bowl.

The sweet powder suddenly turned into sweet porridge, and a tantalizing fragrance spread.

Before Hughes had time to taste the bowl of sweet porridge, he was attracted by the red clay stove under the feet of the grocery store manager Kerry Mark's father.

Like a swan, he stretched his neck, looked into the counter, and said involuntarily, "This is..."

Old John saw,

Curling his lips, he whispered, "Hillbilly."

Although the voice was small, it was still heard by Hughes, who had keen hearing, and he couldn't help but blush.

Once upon a time, this was his evaluation of Old John and the others in his heart.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, everything turned upside down.

If Hughes is also traveling through time, then he will definitely think of a few words like "30 years in Hexi, 30 years in Hedong", "Don't bully the young and poor".

Unfortunately he is not.

So he can only stand awkwardly.

He had no choice but to bow his head to the strength displayed behind Nisai Town, which had spent the whole winter.

When Kerry Mark's father saw it, he kindly said, "Did you say this? This is the invention of our lord. He called this kind of thing a red clay stove, and the thing burned in it is called honeycomb coal. It is small and exquisite, and can be used everywhere. Moving, you can cook and keep warm, and you don’t have to worry about catching fire. It’s like a mobile fireplace! It’s even better than a fireplace! These briquettes have no smoke when they burn, which is what the lord said must be ventilated. Otherwise, You may faint or even die. Of course, as long as you ventilate, there will be no problem."

Kerry Mark's father is now considered an "upper class" in Nisai Town. Although he is not as powerful as Old John, his small rescue is not enough to worry about offending Old John.

As he expected, Old John didn't show any displeasure at all.

Hearing Kerry Mark's detailed explanation, Hughes' expression gradually returned to normal, and his eyes were still looking at the red clay stove.

As a businessman, he is too aware of the business opportunities behind this thing.

Although winter is over, the weather is still relatively cold.

Such a "mobile fireplace" that can both heat and cook things will definitely be sought after by many people, but I don't know the price?

But then again, this Baron Dikas is really not a simple character.

Hughes remembered that the wood saw, which is now popular throughout the Principality, was his invention.

It is this wood saw that makes logging easier and faster, so this winter, the firewood in Patras has dropped a lot.

This winter, many people can become relatively calm.

It can be said that this Baron Dikas has benefited one party.

A light flashed in Hughes' eyes, and he said, "Can you show me this red...moving fireplace?"

Hughes couldn't remember the correct name for the red clay stove, so he had to use the mobile fireplace instead.

Kerry Mark's father refused without hesitation, "Of course...no!"

Disappointment flashed across Hughes's face, and he was relieved immediately. He thought to himself that the wood saw was imitated by others last time, which caused Baron Dikas to lose a lot of money. Now that he has a new invention, it is normal to be worried!

Unexpectedly, Kerry Mark's father said immediately, "This one is burning briquettes. It's too hot. If you want to look at it, you can see it on the shelf. The red clay stove and briquettes are placed on it."

Hughes was stunned, then overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Where is it?"

Kerry Mark's father immediately pointed in a direction.

Hughes rushed over like a pervert who had seen a rape, and like a wild dog running free.

Old John shook his head disdainfully, thinking that Hughes had no style at all.

He can't do this. In the near future, Lord William will fulfill his promise, and he will be a knight by then.

Can't mess up the battle!

Old John thought so.

At this time, Hughes was in front of the shelf, picking up the red clay stove and watching it constantly, looking at the briquettes next to him from time to time, with doubts flashing in his eyes.

Old Gretel's oldest son, Big Gretel, patrolled the nearby shelves.

He has become more and more silent now, especially after the Lizardman was repulsed, especially after his younger brother became the leader of the knight order, he just does things in silence every day.

It is in stark contrast to the laid-back expression of Kerry Mark's father.

He saw Hughes standing blankly in front of the shelf, staring at the briquettes. After thinking for a while, he walked over with a straight face and said in a deep voice, "This is a red clay stove, and that one is briquettes. As long as you put the briquettes Put it in and ignite it, and that's it!"

"Each piece of honeycomb can burn about two candles."

"Uh...thank you!" Hughes was taken aback, then thanked Great Gretel, and then asked, "By the way, what is this briquette made of? It's black?"

Great Gretel was silent when he heard the words. He glanced at Hughes expressionlessly, and then retreated to other places without saying a word.
