Realm Overlord

Chapter 6 Master has a request (various requests)

There was mist rising in the city early in the morning.

Xiajun County is not a big city, and it is not considered a water town. However, there are several small rivers that cross the city.

The center of the city is naturally the county government office, the county school and the main commercial streets, all in this area.

At this time, the city was gradually becoming lively, with small breakfast vendors and shops selling vegetables, meat and eggs opening early.

Regardless of the world or era, the lives of the people at the bottom are very difficult.

When passing by a breakfast stall, Lin Qi spent a copper plate and bought two thin-skinned vegetable buns with large fillings, one for each of the brothers.

After taking one bite, there is still a bit of oily smell in the steamed bun stuffing, which is really a rare delicious food.

In his previous life, Lin Qi wouldn't have even glanced at it, but now he was eating very happily, finishing a vegetable bun in just a few mouthfuls.

Brother Lin Fan didn't hesitate to give in too much. He even didn't let go of the oily bits on his fingers and stretched out his tongue to lick them clean.

"It would be even more delicious if you could eat meat buns!"

When walking onto a stone arch bridge, my brother Lin Fan said with great longing.

"there will be chances in the future!"

Lin Qi spoke slowly, walked to the edge of the bridge at a slow pace, looked along the fence towards the water, and said in his mouth: "When the time comes, I will give you a big meat bun every morning for you to eat to your heart's content!"

Money, no money is all bullshit!
But making money is not that easy.

My parents would never agree to doing business.

After finally sending the two brothers to the county school, they had to get out once they had anything to do with business.

Originally, Lin Qi wanted to open a breakfast stall and sell some food that was not available in the county, such as pan-fried buns and siomai.

Although he is not very good at it, he still understands the general production process.

Pity……

As for other money-making businesses, he didn't dare to get involved.

His father, Lin Cai, worked as an errand in the county government office and knew a lot of secret information that was not available on the market. This was really shocking.

The county government officials, the powerful and wealthy households in the city, and the gangs on the streets all have a tight monopoly on almost all the resources in the city.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, medicinal materials, cloth, etc. were all divided up.

As for luxury items such as glass soap and white sugar, once they show up, they will be robbed, which makes no sense.

Unless Lin Qi's fist is strong enough or he has an extremely powerful backer.

A small fight is okay, but if you want to go further, your family will be ruined and you will not be able to escape.

For example, the breakfast stall I just passed by not only has to pay a share of the money to the government officials and gangsters, but also has to withstand the fluctuations in food prices from time to time.

It's just a hand-to-mouth existence and doing better than ordinary people.

Even if you have the capital to open a shop in the county after a long period of accumulation, if you cannot be protected by a powerful family, you will have no choice but to go bankrupt.

As for the craftsmen with some skills, they were recruited by various companies immediately, and they were not allowed to have the opportunity and space to develop independently.

"Okay, okay, when can I eat big meat buns every day?"

Brother Lin Fan's face was full of surprise and he kept asking questions.

Lin Qi was speechless and could only blame her father for being too prodigal.

Originally, with their family's conditions, they could afford it. The two brothers had a big meat bun every morning, but it was a pity that they were all wasted on the card table.

"We don't have big meat buns for the time being. How about fish and shrimp instead?" Lin Qi pointed to the somewhat turbid river water under the stone arch bridge and changed the topic directly: "After school, let's go fishing for fish and shrimp in the river!"

“It’s best to eat fish and shrimps, but I’m afraid there won’t be any harvest!”

Brother Lin Fan was also lying on the railing of the arch bridge, looking at the turbid river water below, with a look of disgust on his face.

This section of the river is located in the core area of ​​the city. It is a place where nearby residents dump domestic garbage and wash clothes.

Contaminated by various domestic wastes, the water quality is naturally not much better.

Lin Qi was really at his wits end, so he came up with the idea of ​​fishing for fish and shrimps in the river.

At this moment he suddenly reacted!
Since the family does not have enough money to provide the two brothers with the nutrition they need to study and practice martial arts, they can only find a solution on their own.

Going to Baicaotang Pharmacy every once in a while to work and study is one way, and finding a way to catch fish and shrimp from the river is also an idea.

Isn’t there a saying: If the mountain doesn’t belong to me, I will go to the mountain!

Before, I had been disturbed by thoughts from my past life, thinking that as long as I had money, I could buy everything I needed.

But the problem is, he has no money.

There happened to be a river not far from home.

The amount of water is okay, mainly fish and shrimps!

The reason why we did not encounter large-scale fishing and trafficking was mainly because of the excessive exploitation by urban gangs and government officials.

It’s impossible to make money, and you may have to pay back!

Lin Qi happened to know that ordinary people basically don't cook fish and shrimp dishes at home.

It consumes too much oil and salt, and the ingredients must be sufficient, otherwise it will be difficult to remove the fishy smell from the fish and shrimp.

Otherwise, opportunities will only come to those who are prepared.

Lin Qi loved outdoor sports in his previous life and even participated in simple wilderness survival training.Not only can I use local ingredients to make fish and shrimp and other river fresh food, but I also learned how to make fish balls through the Internet.

No matter how bad the conditions at home are, at least there are still some seasonings.

He was confident that the fish and shrimp dishes he made might not taste that wonderful, but at least they wouldn't make people sick to their stomachs.

Damn it, he was such a bad time traveler!
"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to school quickly!"

With a calculation in his mind, Lin Qi showed a relaxed smile, grabbed his brother Lin Fan's arm, and rushed towards the county school.

The urban area is not large, and it is less than two miles from home to the county school.

Even though the two brothers wandered along the way, when they arrived at the county school, the sun had not yet risen in the sky.

However, the county school here is already quite lively.

Different from those young students and scholars, like the two brothers, they are all students who spent a lot of money to come here, and most of them still attach great importance to their studies.

Lin Qi separated from his brother and came to the middle class. Most of the classmates had already arrived.

Some were reading books loudly, while others were practicing silently. Even those who chatted were all reviewing their civil and martial arts lessons at the same time.

Seeing Lin Qi entering the door, many students showed surprise and interest.

Of course he doesn't care!
Glancing around, especially the seats at the back, I saw that the guys who blackmailed my brother at the school gate yesterday hadn't arrived yet.

"Lin Qi, Lin Qi, Master asked you to come over!"

Just when he was wondering whether he wanted to have a fight outside the school when those guys came over, Lu Chao, a classmate in the front row who acted like a monitor, took the initiative to greet him.
