Lu Xi spent the remaining two hours purely shopping.
I have to say that shopping is really fun, especially when your wallet is full.
A complete set of good-quality clothes only costs a few silver coins, and the most expensive one is only a dozen silver coins.
Of course, the shop Lu Xi and Dina went to was not a shop that made clothes for nobles, but the kind that mercenaries often went to. The styles were not too pretty, but the quality was really solid.
Although the quality of the gorgeous clothes of the nobles was good, they were not convenient for movement, and the price was dozens of times more expensive. Without any hesitation, Lu Xi chose the store recommended by Dina.
There were not many people in the store, or rather, there were always no people in a store selling clothes like this.
This is not an era on Earth, where you would need to buy a new piece of clothing after wearing it for a few days. In another world, even if a piece of clothing is broken, you can repair it and wear it for several years.
That is to say, mercenaries often have to live in the wild and wear out their clothes. They have to buy a few new ones from time to time. Otherwise, the clothes in this store would probably still be the popular styles of the previous ten years.
Lu Xi bought a dozen sets of clothes in a big way. Anyway, her contract package had enough space to buy hundreds of sets.
After that, Dina took Lu Xi to a store that sold jewelry. This store sold two kinds of things, one was ordinary jewelry, and the other was elemental artifacts that looked like jewelry.
But they were just gadgets, not as powerful as the defensive element robes and phantom badges that Lu Xi bought at the auction house.
For example, a ring that functions like a lighter can cast a flame of about three centimeters by twisting the decorative crystal on it... which is definitely enough to ignite firewood.
Selling 20 silver coins, I actually bought one gold coin at first, but it couldn't be sold, so I lowered the price to 20 silver coins. If it couldn't sell anymore, the boss decided to lower the price to 10 silver coins.
Another example is a hollow metal ball with a diameter of about 20 centimeters. As long as the mechanism in the middle is twisted, this thing can cast wind elements in all directions and 360 degrees. The power is about four or five levels of wind... To put it bluntly, it is a Spherical fan.
The selling price is 1 gold coin, the original price is 10 gold coins.
Lu Xi was slightly moved, "I want 10 silver coins."
Dina looked up in shock and watched Lu Xi bargaining with the boss. Her eyes gradually changed from shock to admiration.
"You can't have more than 20 silver coins." Lu Xi shook his head and pointed to the lighter ring, "You give this to me, and I will add 5 more silver coins."
The boss gritted his teeth and finally nodded in agreement. These two things were really useless. Those who could afford them couldn't use them, and those who could use them couldn't afford them. He had been suppressing them for too long.
Lu Xi also asked for a set of ordinary wooden shelves as a gift, and the boss generously agreed. After all, the wooden shelves only cost a few copper coins and were not valuable.
At six o'clock in the evening, when she met Xiulan and the others at the gate of the city, Dina was still looking at Lu Xi with admiring eyes, because Lu Xi helped her bargain for an elemental magic weapon that she wanted to buy but didn't have enough money.
After finding a suitable resting place a few kilometers outside the town, everyone began to prepare dinner and rest.
Lu Xi hung the phantom badge on a silver chain she just bought and put it around the baby dragon's neck. She activated the phantom badge according to Dina's instructions.
Considering the size of the baby dragon and other issues, Dina set the illusion for the baby dragon as a dragon bird beast. This monster looks more like a dragon and has the ability to fly.
The disadvantage is that the dragon bird beast is usually very irritable, extremely difficult to tame, dangerous and can easily hurt people. The certification fee required to enter a human town is more than ten times that of Xiao Yuan.
It doesn't matter, who made Lu Xi rich now?
Lu Xi felt a little regretful that her stay in the human town was too short. She only visited a few shops and only saw a corner of the human town, and was unable to learn anything more.
"Miss Lucy, we bought the flour, what are we going to do next?" Xiu Lan walked to Lu Xi embarrassedly before speaking.
He and Kagli were responsible for replenishing daily necessities, and there were also some tools that Lu Xi asked to buy, such as a set of larger pots, and things like a "steamer."
Of course, there was no steamer in the other world, so Lu Xi just asked Xiulan to look for something with a similar shape.
Xiulan was more direct. He spent money to go to the blacksmith shop and asked the other party to make him a set as requested. The items were simple and did not take long. At six o'clock in the evening, the other party delivered them to him at the city gate. .
In addition, he also bought many things that Lu Xi didn't mention... It can be useless, but it can't be lived without. This is the truest portrayal of Xiulan.
Lu Xi was not polite either. During this period of time, she was almost vomiting from eating bread. She could finally improve her taste, which she wished for.
Flour fermentation usually uses yeast powder or dough left over from the previous fermentation, but Lu Xi did not have these two things, so she used the method of adding white vinegar, which can also achieve the fermentation effect.
Mix the flour with water, add a little white vinegar, and keep kneading until it forms a large dough that does not stick to your hands. Place it in a basin and close the lid to wait for fermentation.
Because the temperature is relatively hot, about two hours is enough.
After asking everyone for their opinions, everyone didn't mind eating late, so Lu Xi calmly directed Kagli to start kneading the dough. Lu Xi couldn't be asked to do this tiring and troublesome work. She also had to prepare other meals. Woolen cloth.
Considering the dishes suitable for eating steamed buns, Lu Xi took advantage of the rare time to pickle some pickles, such as pickled cucumbers, garlic eggplants, salted radish, etc. Considering that Xiulan likes to eat ghost hand peppers, Lu Xi also A jar of specially pickled ghost hand chili peppers made Xiulan's eyes gleam and the others' eyelids twitched wildly.
After doing this, the noodles are almost ready to rise. The water in the big pot has already been boiled. Divide the dough into small pieces, put the steamer directly on it, and put it in to steam.
Steaming steamed buns takes a long time, so Lu Xi just made a vegetable soup and stir-fried several plates of mutton.
Although the soup and meat Lu Xi made were more casual, they were still full of aroma, but everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the big steamer.
A smell completely different from white bread and brown bread came out from it. It was not as sweet as green vegetables, but equally fresh. The taste was not strong, and it was even hard to describe, but it was particularly worrying.
Finally, Lu Xi confirmed that the steamed buns were steamed and opened the lid of the pot. Steaming steam came out along with the aroma of the steamed buns.
It feels as soft as the white clouds in the sky. You can easily break it open without touching it with soup. It takes no effort at all to bite into it. Even chewing becomes a pleasure.
At this moment, the seven people from another world received the biggest shock in their lives - "I will never eat white bread again!!!"
…
A month later, Lu Xi finally arrived at the last marked point in the novice mission guide. The location of the farm was shown to be dozens of kilometers ahead.
After receiving Lu Xi's definite answer about the location of the farm, everyone in the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group had complicated expressions.
For more than a month, they enjoyed all kinds of delicious food that they had never eaten before, and everyone gained several pounds.
Dina even found that her belt was a little tight in the past two days, while Hailin silently increased her daily activity time. Although several other men also found that they had gained weight, they were not as concerned about the changes in weight as the girls. I'm nervous. Anyway, I won't have so much delicious food in the future, so I can always lose weight.
Lu Xi also eats a lot, but fortunately she can refresh her body back to its original state every day without worrying about gaining weight, which makes Dina jealous.
Arriving at the farm at this time means the end of the escort mission. It will be difficult for their dragon-hunting mercenary group to eat such delicious food again. How can it not make people feel complicated.
Another point is that it was not easy for them to finally find the farm.
"There won't be anything ahead." Clyde looked at Lu Xi with a complicated expression. It was enough to make him show such an expression, which is enough to show how troublesome this journey is.
Lu Xi pursed her lips and looked away with a slight guilty conscience, "...Probably."
In fact, according to the normal traveling speed, Lu Xi would have to walk for at least three months to get here. But since the young dragon discovered that it could carry Lu Xi on its back, Lu Xi had never walked on his own again.
If it weren't for the two elemental mages, Dina and Xiulan, who couldn't walk faster, the journey would have been shorter.
But these are actually not problems. The problem lies in Lu Xi's route. She can only see the direction of the arrow pointing to the novice mission. She does not know whether it is pointing to a forest or a lake, a valley or a basin...
As the young dragon flew wildly with Lu Xi on its back, the members of the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group had no time to catch up, but had no time to explore the situation ahead.
As a result, the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group began to cross vast lakes, swamps with unknown boundaries, climb over mountains with boiling magma, and pass through valleys full of Emei wind monkeys. In just one month, they experienced things that they had not experienced in the past year. Exciting experience.
The terrain changes are actually minor problems. At most, they make walking a little more difficult and dangerous. However, running into the nest of some gregarious monsters and being chased for a day and a night... then it is not a dangerous problem.
Lu Xi also didn't expect that the novice mission guide would be even more unethical to use than a bad navigation system. The bad navigation system would at least mark where not to go and plan a route that was cheating but still possible.
The novice mission guide only has one marker point after another. No matter how you choose the route, the marker point must be reached, and this marker point may appear anywhere, and I don’t know what to rely on to make the judgment. .
But in short, this thrilling journey is about to reach the end. No matter whether there are other problems in the next few dozen kilometers, the farewell will come as scheduled.
