Chapter 131
More than a hundred big crabs were killed, and a large amount of crab shell residues were piled up at the gate of Dark Night City.
Cheng Yu got more than two hundred big crab claws, each weighing dozens of kilograms, and the crab meat in the claws was quite delicious.
As a chef, it is necessary to collect ingredients extensively.
The civilians in the city also reaped a lot of benefits and got a lot of crab meat.
They usually eat coarse grains and wild vegetables, and today they eat meat, which is considered a meat-free meal.
Cheng Yu arranged for the civilians in the city to transport the crab shell residues and the fish monster corpses to a distant place and bury them to avoid breeding mosquitoes.
I was crazy about catching crabs last night and didn't sleep all night.
Cheng Yu and Mei Weier went back to their respective rooms to make up for sleep.
I slept until the afternoon.
Cheng Yu ate something and prepared to go around the city.
As soon as the door of the mansion was opened, two young men were sitting at the door, one with a sword on his back; the other with a large white cloth bag on his back, I don't know what it was for.
"Who are you?"
Cheng Yu looked at the two young men, who were dressed rather brightly and did not look like people from Dark Night City.
"Are you Mr. Cheng Yu?"
The yellow-haired young man with a sword on his back smiled politely.
"Yes, I am Cheng Yu."
"We are adventurers from the Adventurer's Guild. We saw the commission you posted in the Adventurer's Guild yesterday, and we took it." The yellow-haired young man smiled.
"So fast?"
The commission posted yesterday was delivered today.
Cheng Yu thought he would have to wait for a few days.
"I like plants and flowers. I just planted some red sand wood at home. When I saw your commission, I pulled out the red sand wood at home and brought it to you."
A commission with a reward of five gold coins is rare, and the most important thing is that this task is super simple.
Excited and unable to sleep, the yellow-haired young man delivered it to Cheng Yu overnight.
"Look at your red sand wood."
Another young man took off the big cloth bag on his back and opened it. There were ten red sand woods in the bag.
Because Cheng Yu's reward was high enough, the two dug up the soil where the red sand wood grew to ensure that the red sand wood would not die during the transplanting process.
The stems of the red sand wood are red, the leaves are green, and the tops are full of black red sand seeds. There are seven ears in total, and each ear has dozens of red sand seeds hanging on it, which looks a bit like black wheat.
This thing is obviously a herbaceous plant, why is it called red sand wood?
Cheng Yu didn't know.
"Red sand wood can only be planted in saline-alkali land. My ten red sand trees are not yet mature. The red sand seeds are considered mature when they turn bright red." The yellow-haired young man reminded.
"Well, I know."
Cheng Yu took out five gold coins and gave them to the yellow-haired young man.
"Five gold coins, great."
With a burning look in his eyes, the yellow-haired young man and his companions were ecstatic.
"By the way, you two, do you know where there is a port or dock nearby?"
Cheng Yu wanted to go to the port or dock to inquire about the news of the mermaids.
The two were adventurers in this area, well-informed, and knew where there was a port.
The yellow-haired young man said: "There is a relatively large port city in the north of Dark Night City, Peace Port."
Pease Port.
Cheng Yu wrote down the place name.
The commissioned task was completed, and the yellow-haired young man and his companions left Dark Night City.
Cheng Yu picked a seed of red sand wood and threw it into his mouth to taste it. The salt content was extremely high, the taste was very salty, there was no bitter taste, and it was accompanied by a faint grassy fragrance.
This thing is ground into powder, which is better than the salt on the market.
The ten red sand woods are not yet mature, and they have to be planted for a while.
Back in the courtyard of the mansion, Cheng Yu found a small shovel, planted the ten red sand woods in the courtyard flowerbed, and then watered them with salt mixed with brine.
When these ten red sandwood seeds mature, they can be distributed to the residents of the city and planted in the nearby saline-alkali land.
"Human, what are you doing?"
Meiweier woke up and saw Cheng Yu standing in front of the flower bed with a kettle and a shovel.
"Planting flowers."
"You are a chef, and you still have this leisure and elegance?"
"Of course, the talent for planting is something engraved deep in the genes of every Chinese."
"..."
Meiweier frowned, not knowing what Cheng Yu was talking about.
Cheng Yu would occasionally say some incomprehensible words, such as: Wo Ri, Wow, Ma Le Gobi, Good Citizen Da Di~ Meiweier has lived for hundreds of years and still doesn't know the meaning of those words. She guessed that it was a mysterious language older than Dragon Language.
"Take me to Pease Port tomorrow."
"Where is Pease Port?"
"North."
"Okay."
~
The next morning, Meiweier took Cheng Yu to fly north.
After leaving the Dark Night City, the sea outside the beach is free of gray fog. It is blue sky, white clouds, azure sea, golden beach, and beautiful scenery.
Go northAfter flying for more than 100 kilometers, a coastal city appeared on the land below.
With tall city walls, gorgeous wooden houses, and clean and tidy bluestone streets, the city environment is N times better than that of Dark Night City, and even much better than that of Snow City.
The main city of Pis Port is connected to the sea, with many ships docked at the port and all kinds of goods piled up in the port square.
Sea transportation is much more efficient than land transportation. Pis Port is prosperous in business and is the richest main city in this area.
With such a commercial port, Cheng Yu is envious of the port management fees and taxes he has collected.
It is still dark, and there are not many people in Pis Port.
Meiweier landed outside Pis Port, transformed into a human form, and followed Cheng Yu.
At seven o'clock in the morning, Pis Port was like a giant beast slowly waking up from its slumber, and the quiet city gradually became lively.
"Human, what are we doing here?" Meiweier asked.
"Ask about the mermaids."
"Mermaids? Are they delicious?"
Cheng Yu is a chef. When a chef wants to find mermaids, Meiweier's first reaction is that Cheng Yu is going to catch a mermaid to cook.
"Wozhi, why are you thinking about eating?"
Cheng Yu reached out and knocked Meiweier's head.
"Don't knock my head."
Meweier held her head with both hands and squinted her eyes.
Cheng Yu came to the tavern near the Pier of Pease Harbor to inquire about the news.
The tavern was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and the sailors were in groups of three or five, drinking, chatting and bragging.
"Friend, have you seen the mermaids?"
Cheng Yu asked a sailor at random.
"No." Sailor said.
Abandoning this sailor, Cheng Yu asked another sailor, "Friend, have you seen the mermaids?"
"I've heard that the mermaids sing very well, but I haven't seen them." Sailor said.
"Friend, have you ever seen a mermaid?"
Cheng Yu asked the third sailor.
"I saw one once when I was crossing a strait. It was very far away at that time. I only saw a beautiful fish tail flipping out of the water."
~
Cheng Yu asked around in the tavern. Some people had never seen a mermaid, and some had seen it once or twice, but that was all they had seen, and there was no more useful information.
Dejected and a little disappointed.
When Cheng Yu was about to leave the tavern, an old man with a beard walked up to Cheng Yu, "Friend, I've noticed you for a long time. You've been asking about the mermaids."
"Yes, do you know anything about the mermaids?"
"I know a little bit."
The old man smiled.
