Lord of Rot

Chapter 348 Vegetarian and meat prices

Near the exit of Bonta Canyon, the temperature suddenly rises.

Under the sun's rays, the sand and gravel absorb heat and heat up rapidly. It's June again, and the people in the team are already sweating profusely before they can get out of the gap in the canyon.

Extraordinary beings like Li Qi were in better condition, but ordinary soldiers were extremely tired. Fortunately, the cavalry still had spare horses to transfer, otherwise the team would have to stop.

Walking out of the canyon, it suddenly became clear.

The sun falls on the endless yellow sand, and the reflected golden light is painful to the eyes.

The heat distorted vision.

The soldiers in armor quickly covered themselves with a coat, otherwise the iron shell would absorb heat and they would have to be cooked first.

Li Qi put up the awning with his hands and looked into the distance with squinted eyes.

As far as the eye can see, nothing can be seen.

The leader of the caravan came over with a map, raised his head and said to Li Qi: "Sir, if you walk half a day's journey ahead, there will be a post station."

After taking a look at the map, they saw that there were still dozens of miles away from the inn, and their target, Bangta Market, was even further away.

If you don’t make some repairs along the way and replenish fresh water and food, the road ahead will be difficult.

Returning the map to the merchant, Li Qi said: "Okay, let's go to the inn to rest."

Now he has connected the three places of Iron Valley, Burning City and Shuijian Land through Shuijian River Bend.

Then take the tributaries to disperse, and you can contact Linta Bay with grandpa, and the Sancha River, which has a good relationship.

The sea directly connects Porcupine Collar and Iron Valley.

The entire southeastern part of the East Gorge has been connected into a network, extending in all directions. If you want to develop profitable paintings deeper, you will naturally inevitably walk into the desert.

What's more, Li Qiqi's 50 slaves in the high blood city of the desert can liberate the poor people and gain freedom, and secondly, they can also gain 50 people, which is a direct wave of fat.

It happened that he still remembered the invitation from Kool Oasis at that time. The other party was willing to pay the hiring price of 30 gold days for a Chao Chao. Now there are 8 Chaofans around him, including himself, and the 240 gold days are already comparable to the Porcupine collar last year. 5 times profit.

If you're on your way, you can do anything.

He thought to himself: "They say there is gold everywhere in the desert. I also want to be a gold miner and dig for it."

No one in the entire team had ever been to the desert.

Li Qi had been to the edge of the desert in his previous life, and had lined up with camels during vacation travel, but this was the first time he had come here in his life.

No one else in the team has traveled such a long distance.

Needless to mention the corpses, they are already dead and no one cares about their feelings.

"It would be great if we brought Crow Camel here. Maybe we could have an extra local guide."

He thought again of the desert nobles who were eating and drinking for free in his territory. It cannot be said that they were eating and drinking for free. The other party was also a precious teacher. Li Qi had many nobles under his command, but people like Crowe Camel admitted that I have little ability, and almost no one is willing to teach people to read and write. Everyone has great ambitions and just wants to follow a group of people to direct things, but they are absolutely unwilling to waste energy on becoming a teacher.

After passing Bonta Canyon, the world has really changed.

Suddenly a gust of wind and sand blew over, and the team immediately kept "bah bah".

The wind is full of sand, making it dry and astringent when you eat it. You may accidentally take an extra bite when you open your mouth to spit it out.

The unlucky ones will have sand in their noses, clothes, and eyes, which is really painful.

Not long after walking, everyone gained experience and took out some old clothes from their luggage to cover their mouths and faces, otherwise they would be full without eating today.

sunset.

The inn, which was smoking, finally appeared in front of everyone, and there was also a small tributary.

Trevor, the fourth-hand mercenary, had already rushed over, holding water and splashing it on his face.

The small tributary is only as deep as the calf and less than 10 feet wide. If there were not a reservoir further away, it would be completely dry in one day.

Water is indeed living water.

Li Qi looked at the inn and guessed that the water flow should have been stopped inside, and whatever flowed out was the overflow part.

More than a dozen houses are connected to the city. It is more like a small village than a post station.

If the economy of Bangta Commercial Road was really developed, it would be normal for it to develop here.

There was also a group of people who did not live in the village, but set up a tent outside. One or two horses were tied outside the tent and a bonfire was lit. It made Li Qi feel like he had changed the world.

As he looked at the group, scattered people looked at them as well.

When a strong team comes, it will always be intimidating.

Li Qi definitely didn't need to prepare for issues such as food and accommodation. His subordinates took the initiative to discuss accommodation issues with the inn owner.

As soon as night comes, the sun sets and the temperature is pulled out of the sand very quickly. The weather in June is actually a bit chilly. It's not too cold, but compared to the day when it makes people sizzling and greasy, the change is so fast. Very uncomfortable.

The teams have been distributed, and the merchants and soldiers need to guard the goods brought by this trip.

There aren’t many items, but they have almost every category.

So they have to come in batches to eat and rest.

No one really cares enough to let the inn protect them. If it is a fat sheep, maybe the inn will turn around and pull out a knife to work part-time as a desert bandit.

Li Qi took a seat in the inn, with a row of extraordinary people standing beside him.

Others couldn't see the extraordinary ones, but looking at the thick and sophisticated armor and weapons, they knew it was best not to provoke them, especially when there was a man with four arms sitting on another table.

He took a knife and gently cut open the roasted lamb leg in front of him.

Then he grabbed the crispy pancake on the side and pinched it gently with his fingers, and the pastry fell down.

If you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be reduced by half.

Baron Li Qi never paid any attention to aristocratic etiquette when eating. He ate potatoes and garlic accordingly.

Roll the meat into a small pancake and stuff it with garlic, lower your head and take a bite.

Fragrant!

"Just for this bite, I didn't come to this place in vain!" He couldn't help but sigh.

Even if you train a group of chefs yourself, it is not as good as traveling to a distant place to eat an authentic home-cooked meal.

While I was eating happily, a figure came over with a hot smell like sand.

Li Qi turned around and saw a tall woman. Her skin was slightly tanned by the sun, but her facial features were regular. She was not as noble as the Dongxia woman, but she had an unspeakable charm.

To put it simply, it is atmosphere.

She is the proprietress of the inn, responsible for pouring wine and water.

"Sir, this is our Bonta's wine."

She bent down to pour the wine, and I don’t know if it was intentional. The open collar was facing Li Qi, and the clothes happened to be very spacious. This bending down also allowed Li Qi to see clearly the two native Bangta. White melon.

Wobbly, swaying.

The woman raised her head and met Li Qi's gaze.

Li Qi was completely unaware that there was something wrong with his gaze. If others were willing to show it, he would be losing face if he didn't.

What matters is that one walks and sits upright.

When the landlady straightened up, he didn't feel any pity.

"Okay, let me try it"

Li Qi took a sip from the wine glass and nodded slightly: "It tastes really good. How much does it cost for a bottle?"

"1 Silver Moon"

What a vegetarian and meat-free meal!

The wine was indeed pretty good, but Li Qi ate good meat and drank good wine all day long, so of course he could taste that it was water mixed with wine.

Li Qi waved his hand: "I can't get used to this wine."

He will never pursue premium products. What Porcupine values ​​most is cost-effectiveness.

It takes a lot of effort and effort to rob other people's property, but your own money doesn't come from strong winds.

The woman turned around with a smile, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. She didn't dare to speak, but she couldn't help but curse a few words in her heart.

Li Qi didn't doubt that he could really eat meat dishes by spending more money, but the cost and price were wrong. 1Yinyue could spend more money at his old neighbor's place, and the quality was absolutely guaranteed.

While eating, there were suddenly shouts and curses outside.

The sound of horses neighing was heard, and many people were making a fuss.

Then two people came in. One of them took off his hat as soon as he entered the door, revealing his bald head and face full of flesh.

Li Qi noticed the stick held in his other hand.

High blood city slave owner!

The slave owner turned to the door and shouted: "Watch the cage, don't let those two bastards escape!"

"Yes!" came a response from outside.

Then there was the sound of sticks hitting the iron cage.

The two slave owners took a look at Li Qi and the tables next to him. Knowing that they had met a noble master, they took the initiative to sit in the corner and waved to the proprietress: "Food and wine!"

"Yes~" The landlady swung her hips and walked over. Li Qi wondered if she would have a herniated disc in her waist when she got older due to her walking posture.

"Snapped!"

The bald man slapped the landlady's butt and rubbed it hard.

The landlady exclaimed and hurriedly dodged away, but she still had a smile on her face. After putting down her food, she turned around and left. But looking at her expression, it was clear that the price of this meal must be raised, and the buttocks were not touched casually.

Li Qi listened quietly to the chat between the two slave owners. Although their voices were kept low, they could not hide any information in front of Li Qi's extraordinary hearing.

"I say you should kill those two bastards! They killed so many of us and lost more than thirty slaves."

"What's the use of killing him? It's better to sell him to the arena to fight to the death. Didn't they say that they are wandering knights? Knights can be sold for more than a dozen silver moons at least."

"Hey, that's true. We can't call these two bastards easy!"

"Fuck, this wine is spiked with water! It's a special size!"
