Chapter 159 Streets
"Tsk." Charles put his face towards the front and looked at himself in the mirror carefully.
He doesn't look in the mirror often, and suddenly he sees his appearance and feels very strange.
"Is there such a big change? I remember I shouldn't have looked like this." Charles murmured to himself.
"What did Mr. Charles look like before?"
"I can't remember it very clearly, but it shouldn't be so fierce." Charles said as he put his clothes back.
After watching for a while, Charles turned his head and looked at the gunner on the table. "Let's go, Lily, accompany me to the street."
"Yeah!" Lily lit her little head excitedly.
One man and one rat walked out of the captain's room and came to the deck of the Narwhal.
Standing on the deck, looking towards Hope Island, I saw that the previously simple straw hut was renovated and became taller and wider.
If the straw shed before was just a curved centipede, then the straw shed now is a big octopus crawling on the island, and the tentacles of the "octopus" crawl all over the island with people's needs.
Some people in the distance were wearing wide hats, like ants, going in and out of the "octopus".
When Charles walked to the beach, the street inside a tentacle under the "octopus" appeared in front of them.
There have been some low houses on both sides of the street. Because Charles did not allow trees to be cut down, most of the houses were made of stones. Due to their insecureness, in order to prevent collapse from overwhelming people, most of the houses did not have roofs.
But such a simple building sets off the lively pedestrian street.
Charles held Lily with his hands and walked slowly by the street. He looked at the goods placed on the stones in the store. The goods were not much less than Coral Island.
"Mr. Charles, I want to eat that." Lily walked towards a shop selling drinks.
"Banana wine? Are you brewed with bananas?" Charles pointed to the light brown liquid in the large urn.
"Yes, sir, it's the kind of food named by the Governor, bananas, which are not available on other islands. Do you want to try it?"
I don’t know if it was because of the change in appearance, the other party did not realize that the governor in his mouth was right in front of him.
Charles was a little surprised to see the price of 300 echoes. He didn't expect this glass of wine to be so expensive.
"Sir, now the bananas are purchased at the price of the Ministry of Agriculture, and the quantity is very small. I finally bought them."
Charles didn't say anything else, took out the banknote and handed it over. This order was indeed issued by him.
Among all kinds of fruits, bananas have the most starch and are also the most suitable for being a staple food.
He asked Frey to find someone to explore the fields and try to grow bananas. If the food is to be imported on an island, it would be very inconvenient.
A tree like banana bears a little slow in ten months, but it grows a lot. A tree can bear up to 100 fruits at a time. The yield cannot be compared with rice, but at least it can be compared with corn.
As for storage, you can put the bananas in the sun and dry them into dried bananas. Anyway, it has no sugar and is resistant to storage.
Lily hugged the cup excitedly, put her head in and sucked it, and nodded to Charles excitedly. "Mr. Charles, although this banana is not delicious, it is really delicious to make wine! Do you want to try it?"
The hotel owner next to him had a wonderful expression. He was either disgusted with the mouse in his cup and was surprised that the mouse could actually speak.
"If you drink more, drink more." Charles asked the beer belly man who bought the beer: Friend, is this street safe?"
"Well..." The man's face showed a hint of disgrace.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Charles was stunned. Someone destroyed the order before it appeared?
"It's quite safe, but the young director wearing a mask was a bit too strict. He just stole things and cut off his palms. The robbery was even shot directly on the street, and everyone was careful."
"Is that..."
"Yes, to be honest, the Governor lets such a guy who has not grown up all his hair to control such great power, which is really not a serious matter."
Seeing Lily poke her head out of the cup, put her hands on her hips and glaring at the hotel owner, Charles returned the cup to the hotel owner.
"Maybe, but in this way, there will be no trouble on other islands."
After Charles finished speaking, he led Lily toward the crowd.
Dipp is indeed irritable, but as long as a person stays in one position, he can always find the best way to deal with things.
Continuing to move forward, Char discovered something that other islands could not see.
The believers of the Church of Light, the crew of the Explorer, and those pioneers who have taken the lead, everyone is full of vitality, no matter what their identities are.
Hope the island is in chaos, and it is not difficult for anyone to support themselves. Moreover, it is full of business opportunities. As long as you turn your mind fast enough, you can make a fortune immediately.
As he walked, a huge square appeared in front of Charles. Looking at the wide straw shed above his head, Charles judged that this place should be the center of the "octopus".
There was also a huge sign hanging in the center of the square, and a large group of people were surrounding them on three floors inside and three floors outside.
As soon as Charles approached, he heard someone in the crowd explaining the above decree to his illiterate companions.
"There are a lot of things to say, but it's actually one thing. Hope Island starts selling land. As long as you have money and buy a piece of land here, you will be the permanent islander here. By the way, there is an additional clause behind it, and future generations need to pay taxes to inherit the land."
"Does there any above talk about the price?"
"The distance from the center of the island is different, the price is also different, and the cheapest one also requires 2 million echoes."
"The sun god is on it, how much land does the entire island have? How many echoes can this be exchanged for? No wonder some people say that as long as they become the governor, they no longer have to worry about echoes."
"No matter how you choose, I want to buy one, and it is definitely much better to settle on this island than other places."
Lily raised her head and looked at Charles. "Mr. Charles, you are so rich now."
After touching Lily's head with her hand, Charles quickly looked over the crowd's face.
They were discussing fiercely whether they needed to buy it, and were calculating which location to buy was the most cost-effective.
But Charles did not see anyone talking about the land of light in infinite land.
"Hey, didn't the Governor say that the land of light is above? There is infinite land there, why should you care about these?" Charles asked, patting someone on the shoulder.
