Tool Man's Guide to Getting Rich

She is not the kind of parent who likes to suppress children, and people in the village basically follow the "let it be" education method. When the children's demands are not excessive, the adults generally will not object.

Probably because this method has cultivated the autonomy of the children very well. Anyway, Lu Xiaoyan has lived in this village for so long, and the children she sees are sensible earlier.

This sensibility is not "precocious" in the general sense, but sensibility in terms of planning, being responsible for what you do, and autonomy.

Therefore, when Lu Xiaoyan taught Gong Lu, she also absorbed a lot of experience from her fellow villagers. Now she is not surprised to see the children planning their stalls in a decent manner, and knowing how to reduce competitors. ".

You must know that when Ceci and Marina's respective brothers were their age, they had been trying to find ways to earn pocket money from adults.However, most of what they do is to take the initiative to help with some off-topic or grazing work in exchange for pocket money.

After getting the consent of the children, Lu Xiaoyan placed a small prop with protective function in Gong Lu's room, told them not to touch some dangerous objects, and left Gong Lu's room to go about her daily routine.

After Marina sent Lu Xiaoyan away, she immediately suppressed the smile on her face, and worried about the fruits on the table: "There are so many fruits, how do we test which one tastes better?"

Lucia touched the middle berry, and relayed the news she heard from her father to everyone: "I asked my father after I got home yesterday, what is special about making drinks. My father said that in general, he doesn't Clearly, but he knows that on the other side of the continent there is a magical practice of cutting all the fruits and steeping them in tea."

Just listening to this description is a little hard to imagine, but after Lucia made a supplementary explanation, Gong Lu probably guessed what she was talking about - isn't this the way of fruit tea?

"I remember that tea is not cheap, right?" Marina is more sensitive to food prices, after all, her parents also use tea when making some special dishes.

She still remembers her mother complaining bitterly that the price of tea had risen again, and she didn't know whether the price of the dishes should be raised.

The five of them were originally going in the direction of "small business". After learning about the price of tea, all of them with aspirations removed the practice of fruit tea from the options.

"How about this," Sisi suggested, "let's make all the fruits into juice first, and then try each problem and see what we can do."

And after knowing the taste of those juices, they can also blend them according to their own tastes, which should be much simpler than what they want here.

The other children had no objection to this, so Gong Lu ran downstairs and asked Lu Xiaoyan for several cups, and then went back to the room holding the cups.

Marina counted the number of cups and the types of fruits, and found that the numbers of the two parties did not match at all.

Fortunately, after returning home last night, Phil also made some small wooden cups. He took out all the small wooden cups and wooden bowls he had made in the past from his backpack and used them as temporary containers.

After all these preparations were done, the five children discovered that they were facing a new problem.

Sisi: "Well...how can I squeeze the fruit into juice?"

In the end, Marina remembered that there was a long-abandoned juicer at home. After running home and asking her parents for it, she brought it to Gonglu’s room for simple cleaning, which allowed the group of children to proceed to the next step successfully. .

Keeping in mind that their goal was just to earn some pocket money, they decided to vote only for the three juices they thought tasted the best.

After arranging and combining all the fruits, Gong Lu numbered all the juices for everyone to vote.

In the end, the results of the vote were relatively consistent. Everyone had similar tastes, and they chose the same drink by coincidence.

One of these three drinks is ordinary berry juice. Gong Lu imagined that the taste should be similar to blueberry juice, mulberry juice, or strawberry juice before trying it, but he did not expect the final product to be more like grape juice. .

But compared with ordinary grape juice, the berry juice is a little more refreshing.The sweetness and sourness seem to be just right for Gong Lu, and there is no need to add sugar.

In addition to this berry juice, the other two are mixed juices.One is made with sour fruit as the main ingredient. The sour juice tastes too sour. After adding the juice of the other two fruits, the taste is richer and the sweetness and sourness are more suitable.Gong Lu thinks that the taste of this juice is a bit similar to passion fruit lemon juice. The overall taste is sour, but after adding ice cubes, it is really suitable for quenching thirst in hot weather.

The taste of the other one is a bit peculiar, Gonglu can't recognize what kind of fruit is added, but the final taste is a bit similar to mango and pear juice, with a sweet taste.

When seeing Marina carefully recording the recipe, Gong Lu couldn't help but leaned over to take a look, and memorized the names of the fruits he didn't know.

The two kinds of fruits that are paired with sour fruit are fragrant fruit and honey fruit. The former tastes good when eaten empty-handed, but the latter is not. .However, these two kinds of fruits belong to the category of "no one picks". The former will be picked and made into dried fruit for consumption, while the latter can be cut into countless small pieces for seasoning, or used to boil sugar juice.

But the two kinds of fruits added to the last drink are things that no one wants to eat even when they are delivered to the door.One of the two fruits is called stone fruit and the other is called peel fruit.And their taste is similar to the name, one tastes like eating stones, and the other tastes like eating leather.It was a pure accident that this drink could be made. It was the result of a competition between Ceci and Marina who could make the strangest tasting drink. Unexpectedly, the squeezed juice tasted surprisingly good.

After confirming the formula of the juice, the five children cleaned up the mess on the table and started the next agenda.

"Let's practice the freezing technique first." Marina found five things similar to ice trays from her backpack, and used the water polo technique to fill each grid with clean water, pushing them in front of everyone.

"Feel how many small ice cubes each person can make. If you make less, we need to stock up in advance."

They will definitely have to cool the drink itself when the time comes, but throwing ice cubes in it is also a must.As children, their mana is not high. If there is no way to take care of it, it is indeed necessary to make ice cubes in advance.

But using the freezing technique on the ice tray is not a simple matter. In order to take out the ice cubes one by one, they cannot simply and roughly freeze all the water inside, otherwise the ice tray will also be frozen.

Ceci's patience is the worst. After carefully freezing a few ice cubes, he wanted to quit the business: "Is it okay to not add ice cubes? When the time comes, just freeze the drink into ice, right?" ?”

In order to show the reliability of his suggestion, he stopped what he was doing, found a bowl of berry juice, and used the freezing technique on the berry juice in the bowl.

However, a strange thing happened, because he didn't have a good grasp of the freezing technique. He couldn't directly freeze berry juice, a liquid mixed with "scrap", into ice, but instead created a kind of liquid that was in a liquid state and a solid state. products between.

Gong Lu curiously stirred the small bowl in front of Ceci with a spoon, and unexpectedly found that the state of this thing was somewhat similar to slush.Under the eyes of everyone looking at the warrior, he took a sip, and then his eyes lit up: "This tastes great!"

After hearing Gong Lu's words, the other children found spoons to share the slush in the bowl. They were also very satisfied with the taste: "Except for the lack of milk flavor, this tastes similar to the ice cream made by Marina's father."

Phil commented so.

Although Marina was a little dissatisfied with Phil comparing Sisi with her dear father, she had to say that the cool, sweet and fragrant taste was really popular with the children. After eating the slush in the bowl , They tried to use the freezing technique on the juices that they thought tasted good before.

Some were not frozen at all, some were successfully frozen into ice cubes, and some were frozen into slush.

But the children also know that they can’t eat too much ice. After trying a small bite of each, they found that only the berry juice and the mixed juice of stone fruit and peel fruit have the most special taste after being frozen into slush.

Marina also wrote down this recipe in a small notebook, and the five children tacitly changed the menu and decided to focus on juice and slush.

"Let me count how many freeze spells you can use in a day." Lucia walked around in front of everyone with her little book, instructing them to feel the mana consumption in their bodies.

"If you use it on juice, you can only use it about a hundred times..." Lucia registered the data, and then wrote and drew beside it to make some calculations.

After she and Marina had consolidated what they had recorded, they announced the main task of the five-person team before market time.

"In the morning, go to pick berries, peel fruits and stone fruits, sour fruits, fragrant fruits and honey fruits, and come to Gonglu's house in the afternoon to make ice cubes."

Lucia assigned the tasks with a blank expression: "Most of the time is picking berries, so it is tentatively scheduled to pick berries on the first three to five days, pick sour savory and honey fruits on the second and fourth, pick peel and stone fruits on Saturday, and pick berries on Sunday. rest."

Peel fruit and stone fruit are not eaten by many people, and it is not difficult to pick; sour fruit and honey fruit are not eaten by many people, and fragrant fruit is still relatively small, so it is arranged at a medium level; The most popular one is also the "basic model" that children plan to make.Picking is difficult and requires a large quantity, so the highlight of their fruit picking is picking berries.

"What about the afternoon?" After hearing about this task, Ceci had a brief moment of mosquito-repellent eyes, but when he thought of the pocket money he could earn after successfully setting up a stall, he felt full of energy.

"I'm going to Gong Lu's house to make ice cubes in the afternoon." Lucia explained.

Phil raised a question: "How many ice cubes are we going to make? Didn't we say it was just in case?"

They haven't calculated how many ice cubes they can make in a day.

Lucia doesn't look like the type to make such a mistake.

Lucia is indeed not the person who would make such a mistake, but she is the one who will squeeze everyone's labor force to the greatest extent.

Lucia: "Because our freezing technique is reserved for making slush when selling fruit juice, so ice cubes can only be prepared in advance."

Fortunately, their respective packages were sewn by Lu Xiaoyan herself, which can keep them fresh for a long time without worrying about the ice cubes melting.

Lucia also added: "At that time, the quantity of slush will be limited... only five hundred copies will be sold a day. They should understand that we don't have enough mana."

But if someone really wants to eat it and buys juice and freezes it himself, that's okay.

Phil felt dizzy when he heard that, Sisi next to him didn't expect to be lazy and was assigned a new task, and complained with a droopy face: "Then why not make the juice and slushie in advance, and when the time comes It’s time to sell it directly.”

Lucia blinked. She didn't expect that Ceci, who always didn't like to prepare in advance, synced up with her once in a while, and explained patiently: "I thought so too, but it's not that picking fruits and using freezing techniques have put Is it taking up most of our time?"

In addition, Phil also needs to make small wooden cups and small wooden bowls, Lucia feels that they are simply too busy.

"If you want to make small wooden cups and small wooden bowls, Sisi and I can help."

Marina took the initiative and said: "We originally planned to ask our respective brothers if there is any fruit to pick, but now we don't need them anymore, and we can just save time to make small wooden cups and small wooden bowls."

Carpentry is a relatively difficult thing to learn, but if you just make small wooden cups and bowls, Marina and Ceci are still competent.

"At that time, we will see how many we can make, and then decide whether the cup can be taken away by the buyer."

Although Ceci doesn't like to work, he will not shirk at will if he is assigned to a task.After hearing what Marina said, he didn't object to patting his chest, saying that he would definitely make better small wooden cups and small wooden bowls than Marina made.

After discussing this aspect, several children got together to price the juice and slush, and specially named the latter two juices according to their taste.

Considering that both slush and frozen drinks actually require the use of Freezing, the price difference between the two is not particularly large.

A cup of berry juice costs six copper coins; the mixed juice of stone fruit and peel fruit is called sweet juice, and the price is eight copper coins a glass; the mixed juice of sour fruit, honey fruit and spice fruit is named passion juice by them. The price is also eight copper coins per cup.

And if you want to eat slush, you have to give two more copper coins on the basis of juice.

If someone really wants to try passion juice sorbet, they can do it too, but a few children always think that this sorbet is not as good as the other two.

After determining the products to be sold and the pricing, the children began to act according to the established plan.

When Gong Lu followed Lu Xiaoyan to order a small cart in the middle, he specifically asked for a place where the juicer could be placed.

After all, what they sell is "freshly squeezed juice", so it must be "fresh and visible".

Because he has been busy with various things, Gong Lu also forgot for a moment that he still has "special genetic characteristics" and an inactive golden finger.

When he got the trolley, the business module, which had never received much attention, finally came out unwilling to be lonely and made a sense of its presence.

"It has been detected that the user has met the conditions for obtaining a cheat. Would you like to activate a random cheat? Note that there are currently two ways to activate a cheat. The user can choose to inherit the existing cheat or obtain a random cheat."

It seemed that he was worried that Gong Lu didn't know what kind of cheats he had, and the business module also gave the options very thoughtfully.

[Gold Finger Optional Items]:

[Option [-]]: I have special foreign language skills (equipping this skill can understand the language of a creature in the current world whose language is not shared with the user.) Note: Using this cheat for many times will increase the level, specifically in The user's "familiarity" with a foreign language.

[Option [-]]: Everyone needs to abide by the rules (equipping this skill can force people around the user to obey the rules)

[Option [-]]: Obtain a new cheat at random

Gong Lu glanced at the cheat given on the module panel. He originally wanted to get a new cheat at random. After seeing that the first cheat could be upgraded by using it multiple times, he subconsciously wanted to give the first cheat first. Goldfinger refreshes the level.

After he selected the first gold finger, the operation module issued a "ding ding" notification sound, indicating that he had successfully equipped it.

【Cheat Name】: I have special foreign language skills

[Golden Finger Level]: Lv.10/Lv.20 (You can handle general conversation and daily communication, but when faced with some relatively professional vocabulary, you may still be unable to respond, and the words you speak will It looks a little stiff.)

[Gold Finger Type]: Auxiliary Growth Type

[Cheat status]: in effect

Gong Lu looked at the module again, and found that it had no special updates except for adding his own cart to the experience calculation area.

It is worth noting that the module very considerately notes that this small stall is jointly operated by him and four friends, so when calculating experience, it will be converted according to a certain ratio.

There is a long list of calculation formulas attached to the specific ratio. Gong Lu felt dizzy after watching it for a while, so he simply turned it off and didn't pay attention.

It's just that this activated cheat refers to a creature with a "different language system"?

Gong Lu had doubts in his heart, and in the next few days, when picking fruits, he paid special attention to the sounds of various small animals in the forest.Did not expect to hear a lonely all.

He had to guess whether there were any magical creatures in this world, such as dragons, elves, goblins and the like.

When he asked this question to Lu Xiaoyan, although the latter didn't know why Gong Lu would ask such a question, it was very common for children to come and go one after another. She thought about it and introduced the general situation of this world to Gong Lu. distributed.

"The continent we are in now is the Western Continent. In addition to humans, there are elves, dragons, druids, goblins, and dwarves. Goblins and dwarves are good partners who help each other. They live in the lowest part of the Western Continent, which is The east of the Western Continent is good at forging and making various props; the elves live in the Elven Forest on the west of the Western Continent, guarding their mother tree; the dragons live in the north of the Western Continent, where volcanoes and various The mountains make up the mysterious Dragon Valley; the druids live in tribes as a group, and live in places on the mainland that are suitable for grazing or where there are more small animals."

And the place where they live is the most central part of the Western Continent, with cities, small towns and villages.

"Your father and I came from the Eastern Continent. There are also magical creatures in the Eastern Continent, but they rarely appear in front of humans. Unlike the Western Continent, different creatures communicate with each other. Probably because the Western Continent Everyone around here speaks the common language."

Although each race has its own language, those languages ​​are basically only used in ceremonies to communicate with ancestors.In daily communication and communication, the common language of the mainland is used.

After listening to Lu Xiaoyan's explanation, Gong Lu was even more confused.

If so, was his foreign language the language of these different races?

He is not yet five years old, and this skill needs to be used a lot to increase the level. If it is true, he might have loaded this function for nothing.

Because according to the memory of the soul fragments, the time when this world and the other world merged with each other was five years later. At that time, he was only ten years old, and he was not yet old enough to experience alone.

If you can't meet other races before you reach the age of experience, isn't this skill useless?

But he didn't give him too much time to mourn the spring and autumn, and the quarterly market was about to start.The five children prepared all the materials the night before, checked over and over again to make sure there were no problems, and then cheered each other up: "Come on, we will succeed!"

Parents who didn't know the situation thought that the children were excited because they went to the market for the first time, and smiled and said a few words, "As expected of children", but they didn't know that this group of children would change suddenly the next day and become their children. colleague".

The people in the village have been to the market many times, and this time they naturally came to the market place with ease.They took the children to the booth registration place to register, and just about to take them away, they found five children imitating their appearance and saying to the staff at the registration office: "Please register a booth for us."

The staff thought it was a little funny: "Okay, what do you sell at your stall?"

The author has something to say: I just remembered that last night was Ghost Festival (.)

By the way, is it true that the Hungry Ghost Festival is on July 0th in some places?We here generally say that July 0th is Ghost Festival [-]-[-]
