The pet of the beast world: sickly beauty has many children and good fortune

Chapter 146 What a dog!

Ji Liang looked down in confusion at the little female's sudden laughter, and subconsciously input spiritual power into her, fearing that she would hurt the baby in her belly by exerting too much force.

"Xiao Shuo Shuo, what's so funny?"

Si Shuo buried his head in his arms and shook his head, "Nothing, I just thought what you said just now was funny, the more I think about it, the funnier it gets, haha..."

Ji Liang actually thought that she had a low sense of humor, and was infected by her and laughed softly with the corners of his lips curled up.

Si Shuo was stunned for a moment, then continued to laugh tremblingly, ah, can't stop, can't stop! She couldn't look directly at Ji Liang's ability...

At this moment, Zhi Qi stopped. They had arrived at the downtown area in the west of the city. There were two long streets, both horizontal and vertical, full of stalls.

There are porcelain, cotton cloth, fruits and vegetables, fur, bones, various kinds of meat, eggs, grains and various cooked foods, as well as domesticated and docile poultry and livestock, and various handicrafts. Of course, there are also orcs standing in specific locations waiting to do odd jobs.

The excitement was almost the same as the markets and temple fairs of later generations.

Si Shuo likes the hustle and bustle the most, so he took Zhi Qi's hand and started walking around. The snacks here are much richer than those in Dongye Zhongfang, and they taste authentic and delicious.

It's like glutinous rice that's been crushed, with a very small amount of water added, and it's been kneaded continuously until the grains are distinct, then spread evenly layer by layer on a bamboo basket covered with fine cotton cloth, sprinkled with dried flowers and berries, and slowly steamed on a clay stove.

The glutinous rice is steamed into thick and soft cakes, cut into small pieces, drizzled with honey and sold!

Ji Liang directly bought a pot of freshly baked celebration cakes, left three pieces for them to eat, and put the rest into an animal skin bag, which was actually put into a storage ring for the little female to keep as snacks.

The steaming hot celebration cake has the sweet and sour fragrance of flowers and berries. It is chewy, dense and strong. It is a rare delicacy in the animal world that is loved by everyone.

Si Shuo ate happily, his whole body filled with joy, which made the two beast husbands look relieved. They felt that only the Big Beast City could raise their own little females well.

Seeing that Si Shuo liked to eat them, Kou Ba and Hang He also bought a cage for Yi Mei and the cubs at home and put them in the storage ring. A 20-square-meter storage ring is enough for their daily use, not to mention that each male has one, which is a treatment that other orcs do not have. They are particularly grateful to Si Shuo's family and think well of them!

There were also dried fish for sale at the market. Si Shuo tried one and found the selected dried fish to be of average quality with a strong fishy smell, which was in no way comparable to Gong You's private collection.

After buying some coarse cloth dyed with plants, they asked along the way and found the place marked on the title deed.

The Hexi tribe mainly operated in the western part of the city, so the houses, shops and fields they provided were also nearby.

The second-floor shop is right on the street of the market. It is quite old and the stones on it show signs of severe weathering. Now the shop is rented out and has a considerable flow of customers.

Zhi Qi took Si Shuo to eat wontons at a stall diagonally opposite. The floating wheat was hulled and crushed into powder, which was then mixed with water to make dough. Slightly seasoned meat filling was put into each palm-sized dough and then kneaded together.

The soup is made with chicken racks! The stall owner also cracks one or two eggs into the wontons after cooking them according to the customers' requirements.

As expected, people were able to free themselves from endless hunting. Since farming and breeding were basically self-sufficient, they had plenty of time and their lives were much more refined than in other places.

While eating the hot and delicious wontons, Si Shuo couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction, this is life!
Ji Liang came back from a walk, eating wontons while whispering to Si Shuo and Zhi Qi:

"Hiss, the person who rents the shop is a Grey Parrot orc. He sells all kinds of ready-made clothes and his business is pretty good. Ten percent of the orcs passing by always go in for a look. It is said that this shop has been open for 20 to 30 years and has many regular customers who come to buy clothes."

Si Shuo nodded: "In other words, while our situation is still unclear and we haven't established a firm foothold in Guangshou City, we can't take back this shop and can only rent it out for the time being?"

Ji Liang hummed and said, "On these streets, whether it's stalls or shops, the changes are not big. Unless something happens at home, the stall owner will sell it.

And basically, people outside didn't get the news yet, the shop had already been handed over.

Many orcs come to Guangshou City to settle down every day, and the local orcs are rather xenophobic and bully newcomers.

Even if a new orc spends a lot of money to find a shop or stall, in addition to being required to pay a relatively high protection fee, no matter whether the business of the stall conflicts with other stalls, as long as it makes money, there will be all kinds of troubles..."

Zhi Qi raised his eyebrows: "If I make money, I'll be in trouble, but if I don't make money, I can't pay the protection fee?"

"Yes, that's basically the situation. In Guangshou City, everything is based on family background first, then strength and connections." Ji Liang started to learn about the lives of the beastmen in the Central Continent from Dongye Middle Square. Only with sufficient understanding can we seek breakthroughs and opportunities in this impregnable beast city where families and tribes hold together. "Otherwise, even if we get the deeds for shops, houses and fields, we can't easily drive away the tenants."

Having said that, he looked meaningfully at the little female who was happily eating wontons.

Si Shuo met his gaze, turned his head and coughed twice.

Zhi Qi hurriedly stroked her back with one hand to help her calm down, and used the other hand to input spiritual energy into her.

Ji Liang smiled helplessly and said, "Xiao Shuo Shuo, you should eat more seriously. If you have anything to say, wait until you have swallowed the food in your mouth."

Si Shuo's eyes turned slightly red because of choking, and he glared at him. It was all because of him!

Don't think she doesn't understand what he means. As soon as she arrives in Guangshou City, she has to shoulder the arduous task of finding the golden thigh...

Since Ji Liang said so, it means that the five courtyards, 25 acres of land that they won through the arena competition, as well as the shop and 100 acres of land looted from Wang Cai, are all rented by someone, and it will be difficult for them to take them back in the short term.

"It's okay. Let's take it slow. Zhile and the others can earn crystals as beast soldiers. Besides, all shops, houses and fields have rent..."

Speaking of this, Ji Liang curled his lips, "Didn't the Hexi tribe come back early? They hurriedly collected the rent, and collected it for five years, not counting the two-year deposit!"

Si Shuo...the people of the Hexi tribe are such dogs!
So even with these deeds in hand, they will have to wait seven years before they can see the crystal?
Even if the tenants have not yet completed their lease, or if their lease has just expired and they do not plan to continue renting, they still have to pay the difference with crystal stones themselves!
Seven years was a long time. They came here in a hurry, only to feel as if a bag of cold water had been poured down on them. The only thing to be thankful for was that the five beastmen in their family were recruited as beast soldiers in Dongye Zhongfang.

Otherwise, they would have to spend a lot of crystals to live in the cave and face the risk of being driven away at any time.

It was impossible for the beastly husbands to just watch her condense the spiritual plants and stay at home and do nothing.

All they can do is to do menial odd jobs, like those orcs in the suburbs, selling their labor and doing dirty and tiring work. It would be better for them to be free and happy in the southern continent.

As expected, no matter where you are, the first step is the most difficult.
