Chapter 2575 A Disadvantageous Start
Well, Xu Yue took a general look at his physical condition and found that he was generally able to accept it. Although he had to practice again, the current year was 1995, just one year after the Fourth Holy Grail War, and the ruined Fuyuki City had not yet been rebuilt.
(Note: Originally, the Fourth World War was supposed to be in 1990, and the Fifth War ten years later was in 2000, but they later changed it. Now the Fourth World War is in 1994, and the Fifth War is in 2004.)
And perhaps because of the compensation given to Xu Yue's talents, Xu Yue's own identity is completely unblessed.
Originally, in the past, Xu Yue was usually able to obtain a higher initial status, which could reduce a lot of trouble and make it much more convenient.
But this time, Xu Yue directly became an ordinary mainlander who smuggled himself into Hong Kong City from the mainland.
I believe that I can make a fortune here, so I swam here with my hopes and dreams!
In the original life trajectory, it was because I was interested in the imminent return of Hong Kong Island and wanted to take the opportunity to gain status here and make a lot of money.
This era can be said to be a period when port cities are at their peak. The GDP of one port city alone exceeds a quarter of that of the mainland.
This simple number can understand its relative economic prosperity.
But again, because of the relationship that has not yet returned, the current social environment in Hong Kong City is relatively chaotic, and young and Dangerous people are rampant.
Moreover, during this period, Hong Kong people's own upward path has almost been closed. Before the handover, the Hong Kong city never had a self-elected chief executive, only a governor who directly accepted his fate.
Choose a chief executive?
Want to eat shit...
So far, excluding political issues, the port city during this period was indeed extremely prosperous and intoxicated.
There may even be cases in the future where taxi drivers from Hong Kong cities go to the other side to hire mistresses. One can imagine the economic conditions.
The identity arranged by Xu Yue is exactly such a young man with dreams.
It only took a burst of courage to successfully swim over.
Well, when Xu Yue came, he was standing on the beach soaked all over. When the cold wind blew at night, even if it wasn't winter, it was immediately disturbing.
I just swam here and I was really hungry, cold, tired, sleepy, and penniless.
"Since the initial location is arranged here, even if it doesn't give me any status bonus, there will be a reason. Unfortunately, the additional memory has no clue about the current situation of the port city. I guess those small worlds are probably here."
Feeling this frail body, Xu Yue didn't care much.
Anyway, there's no rush now. Fuyuki is still rebuilding, so there's no point in running over there. Plus, he's a magic Muggle now. At least he can work up some self-protection power first.
Otherwise, it would be really sad to be hacked to death by the Young and Dangerous guys here.
Fortunately, the space didn't frantically arrange any scenario of picking up goods on the beach for him to happen upon.
"First of all, we still need to organize some money. Although the management here is not so strict at the moment, the image will be directly exposed as soon as it passes."
Xu Yue shook his head, and then swam directly on the beach for a while, finding some shellfish and small crabs.
You have to fill your stomach first...
…
"No,
What a magical thing this is, this is too magical! "
A middle-aged woman with old-fashioned glasses was eating a piece of oysters, her eyes almost bulging out.
What kind of magical operation was this? The ordinary ingredients were obviously not processed much, and it seemed that there was no seasoning. However, the deliciousness of the ingredients itself completely conquered her.
These were the best oysters she had ever tasted!
"Thank you for your patronage."
Wearing clothes that had been dried and wrinkled, Xu Yue also extended his hand to the woman in front of him.
Using some of the ingredients he picked up and some abandoned barbecue grills, Xu Yue also simply built a barbecue stall.
Just relying on a little salt and seasonings that came from next door, relying on his understanding of the ingredients themselves, and making fine adjustments according to the differences of each ingredient, and fully highlighting the umami flavor, he finally made a few deals.
There is no way, the seasoning is limited, it can only improve the deliciousness of the added ingredients, but cannot create much aroma, so based on his image, the success of this order is all based on his own beauty.
But fortunately, when the middle-aged woman with old-fashioned eyes took the first bite, Xu Yue's few products were wrapped up by her.
After taking the 120 Hong Kong dollars from the middle-aged woman with a look in her eyes, Xu Yue started to prepare the ingredients.
In 1995, the salary of ordinary workers in Hong Kong City was about 6,500, Thai fragrant rice was about 5 yuan per catty, and pork was 20 yuan per catty. (As found so far, if there are any errors, please point them out, or refer to them directly~)
120 Hong Kong dollars can only be regarded as half a day's salary for ordinary workers, but Xu Yue couldn't bear it and started from scratch. Everything was sourced locally, and the ingredients were finally picked out a few that sell well. It is already good to get such a harvest. .
At first, he was posing in the corner. With his shabby appearance, the stall owners nearby didn't even care, and no young and Dangerous guys came up to exploit him.
It really looks terrible.
It might be faster to earn money by squatting on an overpass to pick up a bowl. Of course, it would definitely be faster if it relies on looks, but obviously Xu Yue is not yet at this level.
And after Xu Yue had the basic money to buy seasonings, plus the cost of some cheap ingredients and the barbecue grill he put together by himself, his income began to grow explosively.
Because there are spices, he can make scent bombs. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look good, or it doesn't matter if it's in the corner, as long as the fragrance is enough!
Considering the reaction of Young and Dangerous and other vendors, Xu Yue cautiously moved to another place, which limited the speed of his income.
Even if he didn't specifically raise the price, after one night of guerrilla warfare, Xu Yue had more than 1,400 Hong Kong dollars left after changing into a stall outfit.
But this place has almost come to an end.
When he was selling for the last time, when he saw the young and Dangerous boys vaguely surrounding him, he immediately ran away from the self-made stall.
It's not that he is overly cautious, but that now he wants a black man with no identity, purely relying on the holy body of ordinary people, and the magic circuit has not been opened, so it is really not suitable for any conflict to occur.
It's possible that some vendors took the initiative to complain to them. Coupled with the flaw in his previous outfit, he judged that he had smuggled over from the mainland.
If this is really the case, in the hands of young and Dangerous guys who don't know what the bottom line is, they may become workers who directly make money. It is even possible that they may be forced to do some bad things because of their appearance.
Before he had the strength to protect himself, Xu Yue had no intention of taking risks.
Well, even if an ordinary person's body directly uses combat consciousness and fighting skills, a small number of young and Dangerous people will not look down upon it, but it is not a crime.
The basic funds are already enough...
And relying on some discarded newspapers, Xu Yue generally made some simple judgments.
There was a reason why he was in Hong Kong City in the first place, because he subconsciously paid attention to the newspapers he searched and saw reports about the God of Cookery and Chen Jiaju.
Oh, let's live together, Hong Kong TV series.
Fortunately, the force value is not high, just enough to allow me to comfortably complete those magic circuits that are about to close.
Even Emiya Shirou still practices incorrectly every day. Even if the path is crooked, he still maintains the vitality of his magic circuit.
This body has been closed since birth. If it weren't for extraordinary talent, it would be of little saving value...
