Chapter 3 Barley Brand Bread

The next day's bottle milk business was really hot, and Xia Barley went online in the evening and saw a bunch of people crowding the entrance of the village from afar, bustling with activity.

But what attracted her more was the two new houses added to the village, right next to the Bottle Milk Big House. Curious, she went over to take a look, no one was in the yard and the treasure tree hadn't hung any fruit yet... a new player? Or was it the Second Young Master and the Green Meadow?

You can relocate your home in the game, you just have to pay a fee and you have to be level 10.

Xia Barley didn't care and continued to go to the field to collect vegetables. But when she arrived at the field, she was dumbfounded, several fields around her were planted with rice, and she clicked to check the owner's information - Brother He.

She fixed her eyes again, there are a few small carp swimming happily in the rice paddy, feelings he even rice paddy fish farming has been engaged in. Here adjacent to Chang'an, do not plant sorghum plant rice, is also rich and capricious.

Fields are expensive, but Brother He must have made a lot of money by selling bottled milk. [Fishing] was also a skill that had a certain chance of obtaining fish fry, but it wasn't cost-effective in the early days, so Xia Barley didn't open it. Yesterday she saw Brother He sitting by the river and fishing, and thought it was just recreation, but she didn't expect it to come in handy.

Thinking about this, Charley looked at his lone piece of land and was speechless for a moment.

Could this be the difference between an europa and a non-celebrity? I'm sure it's the control group.

At that exact moment, Xia Barley heard footsteps coming from behind her, she turned around and saw Brother He smilingly handing over a bottle of milk, Today's bottle of bottle milk.

Thanks. Xia Barley received it without any psychological burden at all, this might be the feeling of eating a big house. She then asked about the two new houses, and received an affirmative answer from Brother He.

The ones who moved to Hidden Mountain Village were the Second Young Master and the Green Grassland, and it was said that the Second Young Master felt that Hidden Mountain Village was a good place with spirituality, and that maybe he could reopen a Rare Treasure Tree.

Treasure trees do grow back after a player moves, and some players are not so happy with their Treasure Trees that they choose to move.

Do you have any plans today? Brother He asked.

Farming. Charley answered as a matter of course.

It's best not to sell the harvest to the village headman, a cargo man will be here soon.

Good.

Xia Barley understood what he meant, bottle milk sells so well, it is impossible for the cargo man not to smell the wind.

Freighters are also players who sell goods back and forth between various villages and towns. Basic crops such as turnips and cabbages may not be bought by players, but the Cargo Boys can sell them back and forth between the various NPCs, and the NPCs in the towns will buy them at a much higher price than in the villages and towns. In particular, wild mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and the like that were gathered from the forest would cost a bit more.

It is said that the top freighters can even build their own business empires in the game.

Xia Barley couldn't help but look at Brother He one more time, she felt that Brother He had this potential, no matter how she looked at him, he wasn't as harmless as he appeared to be.

And it wasn't long after that that the freighter did come.

Isn't that what God said about having light?

Xia Barley couldn't care less about planting, so he said to Brother He and hurriedly ran to the village entrance.

The name of the cargo man who came to Hidden Mountain Village was Hengtong, and he made up a face that looked like he could speak very well, and he was also dressed as a hu-man. When Xia Barley went over, the cargo man was trying to squeeze into the pile of people buying bottles of milk, but because he could not squeeze others, he almost fell on his butt squat.

Milk! My milk! He padded and shouted, still not giving up. Some lackluster player in the crowd heard him and shouted back to him, Stop shouting, I don't have grandchildren as big as you!

This pissed him off, and his two moustaches twitched as if they were going to grow wings and fly away. And in just a moment's time, the auction for the bottle of milk was nearing its end, and he knew he had no chance, so he turned around and left.

Xia Barley then stood beside his stretcher with a basket on his back and opened the door, Collecting vegetables?

Henton swept her up and down suspiciously, Are you a villager here?

Summer barley: Right.

Henton: Then take it, I can't come here for nothing.

Xia Barley then took him back to her house to load up her goods, she only had a basic basket and couldn't fit so many things in it. Hengtong picks his stretcher and follows him, asking her about the treasure chest as he goes.

You want to go look for it too? Summer barley was curious.

I'm not going to find out, but I can sell the information... if you know anything reliable, how about we split the money we make at the end fifty-fifty? Henton winked at her.

Charley would know the truth, but she had already collected the hush money for a bottle of bottled milk a day and could only shake her head in regret.

Henton was also sorry, and at the end of the day began to lament the desolation of their village.

Xia barley asked him how he came, he told her with a slight expression of interest: rowing ah, other people are focused on the stage, because the stage can be transmitted, but rowing is also fast ah, at least faster than walking, but also can carry goods. Rowing you can also occasionally catch some aquatic products, and you can go back and sell them for good money, and I just happened to find out that there is a river that leads here ......

Hengtong talked excitedly about his business all the way and tried to sell Xia Barley the water network distribution map he had made himself, which was politely rejected by Xia Barley.

Back home, Xia Barley nimbly poured out all the stock from the past few days to Hengtong, including the mushrooms she had picked in the mountains, the eggs laid by the hens, the flying knives from Baoshu, and the remaining radishes and greens.

Hengtong was a generous merchant and gave her a good price, so that Xia Barley could buy the land. As for the bottles of milk, Xia Barley didn't take them out, she only had those two bottles, maybe she could save some more and sell them later when she went to the city, she could still sell them at a high price.

At this time, the second young master and the green grassland also came back, Hengtong rushed to welcome them, wanting to talk to them about the matter of wholesale bottle milk. Xia barley did not go to join in the fun, counting their own small money and went to find the village chief.

With this in and out, Charley gained an extra piece of land, but also lost most of his money.

In life, your synonym is poverty.

The poor villager Kong Cuihua diligently planted his two plots of land, and went home to feed the chickens, coinciding with the second young master and the green meadow of the treasure tree hanging fruit, ran over to look at the tree, found a tree bearing ice candy gourds, a tree hanging green dough.

All of them are not as good as bottle milk, but at least they are better than flyers.

Xia Barley see through, waiting for Tang Yue on the line, they got off the game to send her microblogging. Tang Yue went to a blind date tonight, received Xia Barley microblogging just arrived home, is a bellyful of complaints to say to her.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: The matchmaker set us up at the matchmaking mecca KFC ......

Invincible Little Yue Yue: Then the matchmaker left and his ex-girlfriend showed up.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: with her current boyfriend.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: He cried.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: I sat there for an hour listening to him tell his sad love story.

Bread Barley: hard work, my friend.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: smile.jpg

Bread Barley: So are you still going to contact him?

Invincible Little Yue Yue: I don't want to, but what am I going to tell my mom? She's the one who found this guy, and she says he's especially good.

Bread Barley: You can tell your auntie about his sad love story with his ex-girlfriend.

Bread Barley: Wait until your uncle comes back and you tell him again.

Bread Barley: Or maybe you just record it and play it on a twenty-four hour stereo loop in your house, I think they'll shed a tear for the love.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: ......

Invincible Little Yue Yue: In fact, I have always been very curious, barley barley you really have not been beaten by uncles and aunts since you were a child?

Bread Barley: No, because I'm cute.

Bread Barley: selfie.jpg

The photo of Xia Barley can be seen just washed his face, tied with a cat ear hair band revealing a bare forehead, did not intentionally make any cute expression, but those eyes watery, cheeks white and red, just cute to burst.

Tang Yue felt that if she were a man, she would have fallen in love with her, but since she was a woman, she could only continue to meet people and then tweet to her cute sister.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: What's the point of sending it to me!

Invincible Little Yue Yue: Go fall in love with me!

Bread Barley: Don't be mean to me, sister.

Bread Barley: selfie.jpg

Tang Yue was completely convinced by her, her depressed mood swept away. She knew that Xia Barley was deliberately trying to make her happy, and also knew that it was very late, so she sent her to bed, and played the game for a while on her own.

Xia Barley saw that she was no longer doing anything, so he went to sleep first. Who knew that when she woke up early the next morning, she saw a series of unread messages on WeChat.

Invincible little Yue Yue: bottle bottle milk cover green brick big tile house now!

Invincible Little Yue Yue: His teammates are covering too!

Invincible Little Yue Yue: I've been watching the house building all night!

Invincible Little Yue Yue: Cover my mouth to keep my jealousy from flowing out.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: But heartbreaking tears still came to my eyes.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: You're the only one in the whole village with a thatched roof, my friend.

Invincible Little Yue Yue: Move.

Damn.

Early summer barley, gas into blowfish.

Summer barley actually rented in the bakery that lane, twenty or thirty square feet of small house, from the main house of other people's homes separate out. Inside the high to do a small second floor, barely put down a bed. Below is the bathroom and a small living room, the living room can only put a sofa and a little bit of small furniture.

But the house came with a yard of its own, and although it was also small, it was enclosed with a walnut-colored wooden fence, lined with cobblestones, and had a washing machine under the eaves to dry clothes.

For Charley, a separate space is more important than anything else, and with a little more effort to make the room the way you like it, it doesn't matter if it's a little smaller.

Her only regret is that she can't cook, but Summer Barley has a bakery and a rice cooker and microwave in the lounge, which allows her to flex her culinary muscles on occasion.

But summer barley's favorite is still bread, do not need to spread butter, add all kinds of accessories, the most primitive, pure bread.

After washing up, Xia Barley arrived at the bakery early to make preparations. She was always one of the first to arrive because she lived close by and was both the boss and responsible for making the bread.

The bakery opens at 8:30, and by the time the first customer enters, Xia Barley has actually been busy for a long time, handing over all the work to another baker, she starts to take a short break. Combine labor and rest, has always been her work guidelines.

Meanwhile, in some alleyway about a block away from the bakery, Xi Huai pushed open the glass door of his studio and was rewarded with a bunch of surprises.

It was well known that Xi Huai always did as he pleased, it was unknown when he would show up at the studio, the only thing that was not included was the morning. Xi Huai hated waking up early, he had a tendency to get up, if you didn't disturb him in the early morning then you would only see a slightly narcissistic perfectionist, but if you disturbed him from sleeping, then your life would be crippled from then on.

Xi Huai looks in a good mood today, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his academic breath covering those beautiful fox eyes slightly, only to be hooked again by the hair sweeping over the end of his eyes.

Looking at it like that makes it even more like Sven-scum.

Good morning. Xi Huai looked as if he had completely missed their surprised gazes and walked up the rotating staircase unhurriedly. The industrial style space was mostly black, white and gray, with glass and black and gray metal as accents, and the leather sofas everywhere were soft underneath the hardness.

Xi Huai loves green plants, so here also put a lot of green plants, set the rules in accordance with the Chinese garden of three steps a scene, five steps a painting, so that people can look out not so monotonous.

It all started with the slightly perfectionist Xi Huai, a space-obsessed, independent jewelry designer.

Xi Huai actually didn't sleep well yesterday because he spent too much time building a house in the game, but the process of building the house gave him some inspiration, which put him in a pretty good mood.

Walking into the office to hang up his jacket, Xi Huai just wanted to make a cup of coffee, but realized that the coffee beans were gone, so he had to go to the public pantry outside.

When the aroma of the coffee started to overflow, another person walked into the pantry. Xi Huai glanced at her and realized that she was a new intern, and just assumed that she wasn't clear about the rules yet, so he didn't say anything.

Who knows that she seems to be attracted by the fragrance of the coffee, her eyes showed surprise, This coffee turned out to be so fragrant? Or boss you brewed it well, before I brewed it myself it didn't have this flavor.

Xi Huai nosed out, Uh-huh.

The intern didn't feel perfunctory at all, and suddenly remembered something, took out a bag of bread from the refrigerator behind him, placed it in front of Xi Huai with anticipation, and said, There's a new bakery in the neighborhood, and Sister Chen and the others say it's delicious, especially this signature bun, which is said to be unavailable if you go late. It just so happens that I bought a bag today, boss have you had breakfast yet? Do you want to try it?

Meeting those sincere eyes, Xi Huai walked past her with his coffee shimmering and said, If it's good, you can eat more.

Author's Note: Xi Huai: Once a bag of bread was placed in front of me ......

Chapter 4: The Hero Saves the Day

Xia barley again logged in the game, I really saw the next door of the three new houses, green bricks and tiles, white walled courtyard, the door of the lanterns seem to be permeated with two words - rich and noble.

In contrast to his own thatched cottage, Xia Barley wanted to immediately recite a song called Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind.

But envy to envy, summer barley at most in the heart said a hateful, turned his head and planted his own land to go.

Today's village is still bustling, more and more players are coming for the bottled milk and treasure chests, the village entrance, the fields, the mountains and forests, there are people everywhere, and there are even some circling around the houses. Xia Barley also does not come forward, carrying a small basket and ran to her land.

Tang Yue was also in Hidden Mountain Village, standing on the ridge waving at her from afar. The two of them converged, and Tang Yue squatted on the ridge to pluck grass in boredom while talking to Xia Barley.

You didn't see the scene last night, boatloads of green bricks were pulled over, how much would that cost. I now realize why they hide the treasure chest and don't open it, the more people come, the more bottled milk can be sold at a high price. But what kind of treasure do you think they have in that treasure chest? Those three people can actually hide it and not open it, it's too calm, right?

For the inquisitive Tang Yue, this was absolutely incomprehensible behavior. In the past few days, she had watched the news of so-and-so opened the treasure chest and obtained some treasures on the official notices that were constantly refreshed, and her eyes and heart were also greedy.

Official notices are available in every place, usually set up at the entrance of the village, the main road of the town and other conspicuous places, announcing important matters to all players in the form of paper documents. The game also retains the traditional online game of the world channel, team channel and private messaging interface, open the system panel can be seen, the player can call out the virtual keyboard typing input, to speak, and this interface is only visible to the player himself, do not have to worry about other people prying eyes.

Xia barley play the game so many days, but also opened to see two or three times, the information in there is too refuted, she is a new player for the time being can not be used.

Hearing Tang Yue mention it at this moment, she couldn't help but open it up and take another look, and sure enough, the matter of bottled milk was being hotly discussed in the world channel.

There's a saying that things are rare.

After collecting the dishes, Xia Barley gave Tang Yue a bottle of bottle milk despite her excuses, The price of bottle milk is so high now, it's not cost-effective for you to buy it. Anyway, he'll give me a bottle every day, I'll save up and have more, and this would have been your share ah, not to take it for nothing.

Only then did Tang Yue put it away, looked around for a few moments, and said, I didn't see Brother He today eh.

Whatever, he's a big family, he's not going to withhold my bottles of milk.

Speaking of which, Barley Barley, does this look like Brother He has provided you with a daily milk ordering service, just like how you used to order breakfast milk. Only this service is currently only open to you alone, VIP customer ah.

Tang Yue said, suddenly poked her own laugh, Ke Ke laugh. When Xia Barley first moved into the dormitory, she couldn't tell whether she was laughing or calling her name, but later, when we got acquainted, Tang Yue even laughed and joked, We must be a natural pair, look, I'm laughing at your name.

Getting back to the point, Charley wanted to try [Cooking] today.

The game's database is claimed to have recorded all the menus that can be found on the entire internet, and the player just has to put the right ingredients in the right order in the right cooking tool to get a food. This means that food recipes don't necessarily need to be purchased; all you need to do if you want to make a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is to start the fire first, then put in the oil, the ingredients, and the seasoning, and when the time is up, the food comes out automatically.

Of course, you may also get a failing product, or a dark dish that can poison someone.

The hardest part of cooking still lies in the acquisition of various ingredients, planting and gathering is one way, spending money to buy is also a way. Xia Barley is poor now, of course she can't spend money lavishly, so there is only one thing in her menu at the moment - rice balls.

The ingredients were grown by herself, and the harvested rice could be processed into white rice using the village's stone mill, and then made into simple rice balls. One rice ball could restore 50 points of blood and gain a buff that increased the planting and gathering speed by 5%, a must for traveling at home.

Making rice balls was quick, cooking rice only took three minutes, pinching a rice ball for five seconds, Xia Barley didn't take long to harvest fifty rice balls. Tang Yue, on the other hand, couldn't wait to return to the city with bottles of milk, selling is impossible, she just wanted to go back to show off.

After Xia Barley made the rice balls, she planned to go to the mountains to try hunting. She had risen another level and lit up the [Meteor Blade] skill, which was a martial art that she had specifically picked out to use with her flying dagger after carefully studying the skill tree. If it was successful, she would have meat that she could sell for more money.

It's time for the world to see the true strength of Xia's flying daggers.

Before leaving the door, Xia Barley glanced next door and still didn't see Brother He's figure. She shook her head and didn't put it on her mind, and went all the way to the mountains happily, chasing after pheasants.

Charley was confident because she had killed chickens when she lived in the countryside.

But this pheasant seems to have participated in the international marathon, running that called a fast, physical strength that called a lasting. Although Xia Barley can not feel tired, but how can allow themselves to be a chicken play, heart said damn, took out the flying dagger began to show their own mastery ---

Well, the shot missed.

Flying knife in the tree, not tied in, fell into the bushes. Summer barley can not stop to pick up, chasing the chicken all the way to run all the way to throw, do not say, but also really thrown by her sense of hand.

Eat my blade! Xia Barley was full of confidence and threw it out with force. Only to see that flying knife in the air shot away, the sunlight hit it refracted eye-catching silver light, who looked at it not to say a word -

Ah! An exasperated voice came from the front, Who the fuck zapped me?!

Xia Barley hugged the tree trunk and stopped with a sharp brake, blinking his eyes, still a little confused. This is accidentally stabbed someone? She cautiously poked her head out, only to see a man dressed in a bandit style, with his collar wide open to reveal his bronze skin, a red bandage tied around his forehead, and a scar on his cheek was furious.

He should be furious, because Xia Barley's flying dagger was stuck right on his butt, and Xia Barley herself felt embarrassed to see it. What was even more embarrassing was that she had been discovered, Scarface raised his large knife and aimed it at her hiding place, fuming, Come out to me!

Xia Barley knew he definitely couldn't fight, and with a twinkle in his eye, he stepped out from behind the tree with his hands up, accompanying him with a smile and said, Don't be impulsive, one of our own.

Scarface: Who's on your side, I'm a bandit!

Look at me, do I look like I'm honestly farming? I just came to Hidden Mountain Village to rob! Xia Barley saw the trick and quickly made up the rhetoric in his mind, and his afterglow caught a glimpse of the place that was just blocked by the shrubs, and he actually saw an acquaintance.

Brother Ho!

Soft and weak a brother He stood there as if he was a young lady who had been forcibly robbed by bandits.

The truth seems to be not far from what Charley thought.

What are you looking at, I grabbed this first, first come first served understand? Scarface glared in warning.

I'm not stealing from you. You also came here because you heard the news about the bottle of milk and the treasure chest, right? To be honest this is the first time I've come out to rob, and I don't have much in my heart, so why don't we work together? Xia Barley asked.

Bandits are also players, there is always a group of people in this game who are not willing to honestly farming and chopping wood, they are willing to become the embodiment of evil. Players encountered bandits can be reported to the government, the government wanted to post arrest paperwork, a battle of wits and courage of the players to chase the war has begun.

Players who succeed in capturing bandits will be rewarded by the government and the bandits will go to jail. All in all, this is the most difficult game of all the gameplay, but can not hold the militants tend to rush, and even to get on the reward list for pride.

You just stabbed me with a flying dagger and I believe you? The bandit brother wasn't so gullible, and touched his ass with lingering anger.

I really was careless. Xia Barley touched his nose awkwardly, then as if he remembered something, he hurriedly fished out a bottle of bottle milk from his pocket, Look at this, always believe me, right? I can afford to buy a bottle of milk in this dress? This is what I just robbed from someone. I also heard some clues about the treasure chest, it's on the mountain, so I looked for it. If you can forget about what just happened, I'll take you to find the treasure chest, how about it?

Really? The bandit brother was still half convinced.

What am I lying to you for, do you think I can beat you? Xia Barley spread his hands.

Under Xia Barley's repeated lulling, the bandit brother finally loosened his tongue. However, he insisted that Xia Barley lead the way in front, and he pressed Brother He to follow behind in case Xia Barley played a trick.

Xia Barley led the two of them around the forest for half a day, making all the gestures of searching painstakingly, before finally finding the cliff from yesterday amidst the bandits' impatient urging.

This is it, I heard them say that the treasure chest is down there! Summer barley face surprise, ran to the edge of the cliff can not wait to go down. Bandits see him like this, which still have time to doubt, anxious to rush in front of him to find the treasure chest, familiar with the fact that he just walked to the edge of the cliff, the back suddenly stretched out a foot, without hesitation, dry and sharp, he kicked him down.

Crap- were his last words.

Xia Barley turned his head to look at Brother He, who at the moment was standing at the edge of the cliff with the same old spirit as yesterday, even standing in a similar position.

He said, Thank you for saving me.

Xia Barley felt a little strange, but couldn't say how. This heroic rescue was not what she expected.

Bandit brother fell down, but did not die, tenaciously climbed up from the ground to the two cursed, what wolvish adultery, what secret communication are out, Xia Barley did not think that his language level is actually good, will be so many idioms it.

Go you. Summer barley rained flying daggers on him without saying a word.

One cut missed.

Damn it. Summer barley was furious.

The bandits at the bottom of the cliff laughed at her, and shouted out a series of idioms such as not as skillful as a human being and disgraceful, shouting as they climbed upward, You'll be dead when I come up.

Then you think I will wait for you? Xia Barley didn't even think about it, pulling up Brother He and running away.

The whistling wind blew on her face, she couldn't feel tiredness, Xia Barley only felt pain. She kept pulling Brother He and ran a few hundred meters away before stopping, and when the pheasants on the road saw her, they all fluttered their wings to get out of the way.

The two of them came to the same place where Xia Barley had picked mushrooms before, and with this, Xia Barley had no desire to continue hunting, so he returned to the village with Brother He.

On the way, Xia Barley asked him, How did you get caught by the bandits alone?

Brother He, or Xi Huai, replied, I'm looking to see if there's any treasure.

Summer barley: Baby?

Xi Huai laughed, The game is about fairness, Hidden Mountain Village is so remote and small, it's too unfair for the players who chose this place, so there might be special outputs here.

Like your bottled milk.

Charley hid his little jealousy, looked around, and said, Do you think it's up here on the hill?

Xi Huai nodded, I've seen everything in the village, nothing special.

Charley's mind wandered in a hundred directions, and eventually he crept closer, blinked, and asked in a whisper, So, did you find it?

Xi Huai: Not yet, but I have a bit of a head start, do you want to come along tomorrow?

Emperor invitation, how can Xia Barley refuse, she even held a little bit of this transit unrealistic ideas. Xi Huai looked at the person next to him, although through the game that exaggerated shape, he could not know what the other side looks like, but just somehow feel that she is at the moment in the heart of the calculation of the appearance of some
