The seven dwarves looked at each other, clearly not understanding what Fang Er was saying.
"My Lord, who is Snow White?" Liu Meng asked, scratching his head.
The guy's hair had been singed off by the flames from the gun's muzzle earlier. He looked like a bald man.
"Ahem!" Realizing he had said the wrong thing, Fang Er cleared his throat and changed the subject.
"Did you catch the interpreter?" Liu Meng asked a soldier behind him. "Bring that old man over."
Before long, Meichuan Kuto was brought over, staring at Fang Er in terror. This young man before him was too terrifying!
Fang Er walked over and patted Meichuan Kuto's old face. "Old man, this Marquis thanks you for bringing these fellows over. Tell me, how much of a reward do you want?"
The old man shook his head like a rattle. "Please, Your Lordship from the honored country, spare my life! Spare my life, Your Lordship from the honored country!"
"Spare your life? Alright, tell me, what kind of business have you been doing?" Fang Er actually had no intention of killing him. Greed was human nature, and it was the same for anyone. Generosity meant bringing more money. The three large ships floating on the sea were, as one could imagine, very attractive to these unsophisticated people.
"Old Kuto, ah, no." Hearing Fang Er ask about this, Meichuan Kuto's face finally regained some color. "Reporting to Your Lordship from the honored country, as long as it's profitable, be it goods or information, I've sold it all."
He said this and then quietly raised his head a little, observing Fang Er's expression. Fang Er tossed the short sword hanging from his waist to Meichuan Kuto.
"See this sword, how much can it sell for in Wa Country!" Meichuan Kuto picked up the short sword, looking at its ornate decoration, and his hands began to tremble. He had never seen such a beautiful short sword in his life. He drew the sword halfway and used his finger to feel the blade. It was too sharp! He pulled out a strand of hair, placed it on the blade, and blew lightly. The hair was instantly cut.
"Cutting hair with a blow!" Meichuan Kuto said excitedly, "This sword is priceless in Wa Country!" Liu Meng listened, finding it hard to believe. He looked at his own saber. "This thing? Priceless?" Damn it, it seemed like the Marquis had brought half a cargo hold of these when they came! Thinking of this, he suddenly understood why the Marquis had asked them to bring these cold weapons.
Indeed, Fang Er looked at Meichuan Kuto and said, "I have many of these swords. Do you dare to take on this business?" Meichuan Kuto was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fang Er in disbelief. "My Lord, you mean, you want me to sell swords for you?"
Fang Er nodded. "I want you to sell swords, but I don't accept your Wa Country's copper coins, only silver, strong male slaves, and grain!" Meichuan Kuto's face flushed. "My Lord, rest assured, I will do a good job!" He then seemed to remember something. "It's just that I don't have any capable assistants. Can I ask My Lord to send someone to accompany me?"
Fang Er smiled. "This old fellow is very sensible!" He was actively asking for someone to supervise him. "You can take on this business of mine, but first, help me with something!" He pointed at the seven dwarf chieftains and said, "Take my men and seize their territory. From now on, you will be the foremost merchant under my command!"
Meichuan Kuto felt like his ancestors' graves must have exploded! It couldn't be that such good fortune had fallen upon him without some divine intervention. He was so happy that his mouth split from ear to ear, and he kowtowed on the ground. "My Lord, rest assured, I will obey. I will do as you say."
Fang Er nodded with satisfaction and waved to Liu Meng. Liu Meng directly grabbed the seven chieftains and dragged them to the woods by the beach, tying them to trees. Then, he assembled his men, and with Meichuan Kuto, began the raid.
It wasn't until evening that Fang Er received a system prompt. "Ding! Mission 'Following the Donkey's Balls to Touch the Donkey's Eggs' completed. Rewards have been issued. Please check yourself, host."
Fang Er lay on the beach, his head resting on Xiao Qing's lap. Xiao Qing's warm little hands were massaging his stomach. Chai Yue had suddenly become fond of grilled fish, and Fang Er had been experiencing stomach issues all day.
He mentally opened the exchange shop. As expected, his refresh count had increased by one. "Refresh!" The store flashed with a "bu ling bu ling" sound. Then, a pile of brand new items appeared. "Oh ho!" Seeing what appeared in the store, Fang Er excitedly jumped up, grabbed Xiao Qing's head, and gave it a fierce lick. "Hahahaha!!" Laughing madly, he brushed the sand off his body and ran towards the tent.
Chai Yue, who was learning to grill fish, was startled by him. The small yellow croaker, which was only eight-tenths cooked, plopped into the fire. "Qing'er? What's wrong with him?" Xiao Qing said to Chai Yue a bit sheepishly, "Madam, the young master is not normal for a few days each month, but don't worry, the young master is fine!"
Chai Yue... She had never heard that men also had menstrual cycles! Could it be that her father and elder brother had problems? Since her husband was fine, Chai Yue was relieved. She shook her head, looked at the grilled fish in the fire, which was all burnt. She had no choice but to get another one from the wooden barrel to grill. "Hmm, my husband really likes Yue'er's grilled fish. I'll send it to him once it's ready."
Xing'er, who was nearby, looked on, wanting to say something but stopping herself. "My Lord, take care!"
Back in the tent, Fang Er lay on the camp bed, looking at the two golden-flashing items. He chuckled constantly. The items were not too special, and he had seen them before when he refreshed. However, precisely because he had seen them more than once, this time they appeared in the store, some could be unlocked for unlimited exchange!
"Ai Kang 58 wheat seeds!" Just this one item made Fang Er's mouth grin widely. And it wasn't just this. There was also fertilizer. The fertilizer he had exchanged before had never been used and had been blacked out by the system. This time, it appeared, and it could be directly unlocked for unlimited exchange. After exchanging all the items and looking at the new seeds and fertilizer in the open store, Fang Er felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. With seeds and fertilizer, he could already see a population explosion in the Great Tang.
With his hands behind his back, taking confident strides, he walked out of the tent. As soon as he poked his head out, he saw Chai Yue bringing over a grilled fish. "My husband, Yue'er grilled another one for you. I also added chili. Eat it while it's hot!"
Fang Er instantly made a face like a bitter gourd. This girl had become fond of grilled fish. She didn't eat spicy food herself, but after hearing Xiao Qing say that he liked spicy food, she sprinkled a thick layer of chili powder on every fish! Three meals a day, and it wasn't even dinner time yet, but Fang Er had already eaten six portions of ultra-spicy grilled fish. He had been to the "Yang Shu Lin" (a euphemism for going to the toilet) three times! His backside still felt like it was burning.
But looking at Chai Yue's face, smudged like a little kitten by the charcoal fire, Fang Er couldn't bear to refuse. An idea flashed through his mind. "Yue'er, why don't we give this one to Father first? He also likes spicy food. Husband has eaten six today, I really can't eat anymore."
Hearing Fang Er say this, Chai Yue nodded. "My husband is truly filial. Yue'er didn't even think to send one to Father! I'll go now!" Saying this, she took the grilled fish, sprinkled with half a centimeter of chili powder, towards Chai Shao's tent.
