Chapter 2462 Profiteer

My barbecue skills are still very convincing.

At the moment, the two queens no longer dwell on meaningless topics, but instead follow the forest path while admiring the flowers and looking for willows, heading deeper into the forest.

Along the way, flowers bloomed, butterflies danced and insects chirped, hares and foxes chased each other, and wild monkeys and squirrels competed for pine cones.

These scenes, which seem sparse and ordinary to us, are actually incredibly interesting pictures in the eyes of Queen Medusa.

She was too proud of her status to pursue freedom and innocence as much as she wanted, so she had to stop and concentrate, watching quietly for a long time. The waiters carrying the grill behind her were so tired that their hands and feet were numb and their faces were bitter.

After stopping for a long time, Queen Medusa murmured in a daze: "Although it will sink my mind. But as long as a successor takes the throne in another hundred years, I will give up everything and come here to die. It can be regarded as a blessing in life."

"As long as you don't dislike it, you can come and stay here anytime."

The Fairy Queen smiled.

Unexpectedly, Queen Medusa actually showed a wry smile, which was both sad and helpless.

It seems that the Naga tribe also has many worries that trouble Queen Medusa, making her often unable to control herself.

But having said that, the Naga tribe lives deep in the sea. Even if we want to help, we can't do anything.

Pretending not to see the wry smile, a group of us continued walking for more than an hour and finally arrived at our destination.

It was a clear lake with crystal clear water and swarms of fish. On the boulders by the lake, there were a few small crabs lazily basking in the sun. When someone came, a few of them held up their crab claws in a show of force.

Fortunately, they were too small, less than half the size of a hand. Otherwise, they would have committed a major sin against the Holy Master and thrown themselves into the boiling water to apologize.

Queen Medusa, Elder Scyna and another woman thought these little crabs were very interesting. Perhaps when the shrimps and crabs on the seabed saw them, they would shrink their heads and legs in fear, wishing they could hide under the cracks in the rocks, but these days The little crabs were very bold. Not only were they not afraid of them, they even raised their pincers and acted like mighty generals to intimidate them not to get close.

Queen Medusa, whose lips curved into a crescent shape, stretched out her slender green fingers and teased the crab claws.

There is a saying that says, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. This sentence can also be extended to: crabs in the lake are not afraid of Queen Medusa.

Yes, it is really not afraid. If you look at the finger that the Queen hands over, there will be a pair of pliers.

Unexpectedly, the Queen is of high rank and strong. All joints in her body, including her skin, have been condensed to the point of being compacted. Even a giant crab in the sea may not be able to hurt her, let alone this little crab, which is no bigger than a palm.

The unsuccessful crab didn't believe in evil, and waved the other crab claw and continued to attack the queen's fingers. When both crab claws were stuck by the slender onion fingers, it finally understood the current situation. It probably couldn't defeat the queen in front of it. It was a huge creature, so while continuing to wave the crab claws to scare the Queen and others not to come near, he quickly moved a few crab legs and fled.

When Queen Medusa and others saw this, they burst into laughter.

Maybe the laughter came too suddenly, or maybe the signal from the escaping little crab was successfully transmitted to other companions, and all the crabs on the boulder also fled without a trace in a very short time.

Some fell into the lake, some slipped under the rocks, and some were hidden in the mud. After a while, not even one was found.

After watching this rather interesting scene, I turned to the center of the lake and looked at the leisurely school of fish. After looking at it for a long time, I never found the species I longed to see - white fish.

Isn’t white fish a specialty of Moonlight City? Why is there nothing in this lake?

When I was puzzled, I asked the Fairy Queen why.

The Fairy Queen said: "Do you really think that white fish is a mainland product that can be seen everywhere? It is a specialty of the Elf Forest and cannot be found anywhere else."

"It turns out it's a specialty of the Elf Forest." I sighed and shrugged, "That's a pity. I was thinking of eating a grilled white fish to satisfy my craving."

"Don't you know how to make ordinary grilled fish?"

"Yes, it just doesn't taste as good as white fish."

"Just make it normal." Glancing at Queen Medusa, the Fairy Queen said: "You can't even cook barbecue at the bottom of the sea. It's not easy to eat grilled fish, let alone grilled fish cooked by you. "

"Hey hey hey" I scratched my head in embarrassment.

"By the way, grandma, can white fish be cultured on a large scale?" I suddenly thought, "Maybe transplant them to other towns and cultivate them."

"Without possibility, this road will not work." The Fairy Queen denied: "The growth environment of white fish is extremely special. It must be water and soil containing a large amount of magic value. And such a land can only be found in the Fairy Forest and its surrounding areas. It can satisfy you.”

"What if the above conditions are not met? What happens to the white fish?"

"will die."

I didn't expect that the extremely delicious white fish would be so picky about the living environment. It was beyond my expectation.

"But there is one thing that really surprises me. You actually transplanted white fish into the yard to breed them." The Fairy Queen said with a smile: "Are you planning to wait until they start to take shape and then export them to other countries?"

Knowing that she was joking, I laughed and said, "Well, if you have this idea, isn't it okay?"

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can afford the taxes, you can export whatever you want."

Hiss, there is something in the words!

"May I ask grandma, how much is the export tax?"

"Ten gold coins for a white fish, that's about the price, and the weight of white fish is also limited. It cannot exceed 500 grams. White fish exceeding 500 grams will be taxed."

"I'll go! Grandma, you are killing a fool!"

As soon as I said the words, I noticed something was wrong. Isn't this just a different way of scolding myself?

"Uh-huh, why are taxes so expensive?"

"Things are rare and expensive. White fish is only produced in Moonlight City, so the price is naturally high. You see, you don't take white fish seriously. You steam, fry and fry it every day and eat it in different flavors. But in other countries, White fish is the most noble and top-notch delicacy, and even great nobles cannot guarantee that they can always eat it."

"Hmm~ Rare things are precious. Hey, grandma, if this diplomacy can be a complete success, we will import from the Naga people things that are common to them but extremely rare on land and sell them to other countries. Earn the difference and make some money from him!"

"Really just a few strokes?" The Fairy Queen glanced at me and chuckled: "Why do I feel that you look like a profiteer? Have you been led astray by Master Dewey?"

"He is my adoptive father. There is nothing wrong with being like him."

"Those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are dark. There is nothing wrong with following your cunning adoptive father, but you are an adventurer after all. Don't get too deep, or it will delay the business."

"I got it."

"Okay." A cold light flashed in the Fairy Queen's eyes, and she said calmly: "A few mice are here. You should warm up first and prepare for the grilled fish later."
