Chapter 21: Kur's troubles

"Wally is Wally's master, and I'm Wally's nanny, I'm in charge of all the chores of his life!"

Veria added again proudly, with a smug smile on her face.

Kuhl looked at Willy and Veria with admiration. These two brothers and sisters even kept a bear as a pet.

"Vilia, it's time for you to feed Wally some milk."

Willy said, "I took Brother Kool to the house to rest."

"OK!"

Veria answered loudly.

On the table.

The Willy family sat around with Kool, the table was filled with sumptuous food.

Pickled rabbit meat, fried rabbit meat, sliced ​​roasted deer legs, radish vegetables, noodle soup, as well as white flour cakes and glucose wine.

Kuhl's eyes widened. This was the first time he had eaten such a sumptuous dinner at Uncle Lake's house.

He suddenly understood why Veria admired Willy so much before. It turned out that the rich meat brought by a hunter was really hard to resist.

Kuhl subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his stomach was grumbling as he was tired from running around all afternoon.

"Go on!"

Uncle Lake announced happily.

"Then I'm welcome!"

Kool stretched out his fork and put a piece of roasted deer leg into his mouth, the meat aroma filled his mouth in an instant.

He didn't stop, and continued to stuff the rabbit meat into his mouth. Thick grease ran in his mouth, but Kool didn't feel greasy at all. Kool was very satisfied, because he used to eat meat, and at most he ate an oil star, how could he enjoy it as much as he does now.

After swallowing the meat in his mouth whole, Kool poured a large glass of wine into his mouth, and the cool feeling spread all over his body. Eating meat and drinking heavily is the way of life he has always longed for.

Like Kool, Veria filled her mouth with meat and didn't look like a lady at all. If it wasn't for Mrs. Shawin's good mood, she would have been lectured again.

The faces of Lake and Mrs. Shawin were filled with unspeakable joy, while Willy appeared calm after all. He had eaten meat for more than ten days in a row, so tonight's dinner was not particularly attractive to him. It was the wine that Lake brought out that made him a little interested.

Alcohol is still quite expensive in this world. For commoners, it is impossible to drink every day. This kind of cost is unaffordable for an ordinary commoner's family.

Willy took a sip of the wine in the glass, and a sweet and astringent feeling spread to his taste buds.

Willy frowned slightly. The taste of this wine was far worse than he expected, and it couldn't compare to the inferior wines of the previous life. It's like a low-grade version of grape juice. The taste of the wine is very weak. Even if you drink a hundred glasses, it will only last until you get drunk.

"Cool, thank you for traveling between diamond towns and villages for Thorpes."

Lake raised his glass and thanked Kur.

Kool quickly swallowed the residue in his mouth and raised his glass in return: "Uncle Lake, you are too polite. This is all right. Thorps and I have been friends since childhood."

Lake nodded and didn't continue to express his gratitude. Kuhl was also the child he grew up with.

"By the way, Kool, is your work in Diamond Town going well?"

Shortly after Thorps became a member of Baron Kells' escort, Cool also entered Diamond Town and became an apprentice in a pharmacy.

Kuhl replied, "It's going well. My boss values ​​me very much. He taught me a lot of things, and now he has to teach me about accounting and let me manage the finances in the pharmacy."

Lake was not surprised to hear that, Kuhl was a clever child since he was a child, and it was normal for him to win the boss's respect.

"But I may have to live a little tighter in the last two months, because the pharmacy won't be able to pay salaries."

When the topic came to this point, a trace of worry suddenly appeared on Kuhl's face.

"Your pharmacy is going to close down?"

Lake frowned, even if he was valued by the boss again, if the poorly managed store disappeared, it would be of no use.

"That's not true, it's just that he encountered a big trouble recently." Having said that, Kuhl also stopped eating, with a sad expression on his face, "Just two weeks ago, my boss brought in a batch from out of town. New medicinal materials. Those medicinal materials are some sun-dried grass leaves, which are mixed together. But I didn't expect that it rained heavily during the transportation process, and those grass leaves were all soaked and even soaked. Dry again. Later, I found that many of them have been broken into pieces."

"It doesn't matter if the medicinal material is broken, right? After all, the medicinal effect will not decay."

Willy has the knowledge of primary collectors, so he knows this.

"Of course the efficacy of the medicine will not be affected, but the problem is that the leaves of the herbs with similar shapes are mixed together after being broken, and the species cannot be distinguished at all. This is the biggest trouble."

As he spoke, Kuhl felt sorry for his boss.

When Willy heard the words, he instantly understood.

The leaves of some herbs are very similar, but can be identified by the details of some rhizomes But if they are all crushed and put back together, then it is difficult to distinguish, because the leaves are mostly convergent , you can't tell which kind of herb the leaves are. If these leaves cannot be separated, they cannot be sold at all. Using the wrong herbs can be fatal.

"Didn't your boss ask a professional herbalist to help with sorting?"

Willie continued to ask.

Kuer showed a look of regret: "Of course I found it, but those herbalists said that the herbs were too damaged and they couldn't tell them apart."

"This transaction has caused the boss to lose a lot of money, so he can't pay his salary for the time being." Kuhl continued, "My boss is a good man. This time something like this happened, I'm really sorry for him, I hope He can get this out of the way."

Kool suddenly felt a little dull.

Willy rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "Maybe, I can help your boss."

"you?"

Kool looked at Willy questioningly, with a look of disbelief.

"I often enter Morse Forest, and I am relatively familiar with some medicinal herbs."

Willy was not particularly full of words.

"Maybe Willy can really help you." Mrs. Shawin said suddenly, "He can accurately identify the quality of the sweet fruit. The sweet fruit he picked last time was sweet and fragrant, and it was sold in Diamond Town. a good price."

Originally, this was a little secret in the family, but now that Willy has become a hunter, there is no need to hide this little secret from outsiders.

"But……"

Kuer still felt a little unreliable. There is a huge difference between distinguishing the quality of sweet fruit and distinguishing the types of medicinal materials.
