Chapter 395 Skin
Chapter 395 Skin
In addition to skin color, Li Zhuoguang also discovered that the common people here either wrapped themselves up tightly to block the sun, or hid in the shade and rarely came out. For those who stood in the sun openly, even if they were not nobles, they were definitely tough guys.
After walking for a while, Pojun exclaimed. She pointed at a slightly luxurious shop on the side of the road and asked loudly: "Is that a brothel? Oh my!"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhuoguang slapped her on the head. It is better to beat children early. She is tough anyway. If she gets older, it will be impossible to change her mind.
Aliana looked in the direction Broken pointed and explained, "That's the water store. It's where they sell water."
The most luxurious store on the entire commercial street is a water store. Li Zhuoguang somewhat understood Ariana's reaction when she first saw mineral water.
If the famous Ms. Storm is like this, then the common people may never be able to drink clean drinking water in their entire lives. Thinking of this, Li Zhuoguang began to wonder, "If water is so hard to come by here, then how do ordinary people survive?"
“When the forests first started to disappear, more and more people died of thirst. Now the tribes that can still survive on this land are all extremely thirst-resistant.
As for replenishing water, those who are a little bit strong can go to the wilderness to hunt elemental creatures. Their cores are soft and juicy, and are a good source of water.
If you don’t have the means to hunt elemental creatures, you can only replenish water through the entrails of reptiles or some plants growing in underground caves.”
Li Zhuo frowned just by listening to her description. He wondered how uncomfortable it would feel to drink water in this way.
The shop selling pack carts is in another place. According to Ariana, the pack carts here have more or less some safety hazards, so the shop will not be opened on a busy commercial street. They need to walk some distance to get there.
But before they reached the end of the commercial street, they saw someone coming towards them from afar. The man was a slightly fat middle-aged man wearing an old and ill-fitting suit. There were four servants holding up a canopy around him to provide shade for him.
It seemed that this guy was a genuine local aristocrat, but as he got closer, Li Zhuoguang discovered that sand kept falling from his coat and boots to the ground as he walked, as if he had just fought a round of boxing in the sand.
Li Zhuoguang turned his head and asked: "Do all the nobles here like to play with sand?"
Aliana also saw the sand on the man's body and explained, "The sand used by the nobles is not ordinary sand. They will have people collect the softest and finest white sand in the desert, and then screen it through layers to remove impurities.
Then they add various spices to the sand and fry and purify it repeatedly with fire to make a kind of fragrant sand. They will use this sand to bathe to remove the dirt on their bodies. Even the fragrant sand that has been used many times will be kept for washing clothes. "
Li Zhuoguang understood: "He just washed his clothes and wore them out to meet people before they were even dried?"
Aliana smiled sarcastically: "The mayor of Haichao City is a hypocrite. The previous mayor invented a kind of "etiquette", which is to grab a handful of ordinary white sand and sprinkle it on yourself when you go out to meet guests, and the white sand will fall when you walk.
It made people think that he had washed his clothes beforehand just to meet him, and even didn't have time to clean up the precious incense sand before going out to meet the guest. As a result, other city lords followed suit and used this "dusty" way to express their importance to the guests.
If the sand sprinkled on him now was real fragrant sand, then the maid who washed his clothes would not survive this night."
Li Zhuoguang nodded. It seemed that the nobles here also liked to play the game of "Zhou Gong spits out food to feed the people and the world is at peace". Then, Li Zhuoguang seemed to remember something and began to look Ariana up and down.
Before boarding the Dragon God, Ariana obviously couldn't afford scented sand, but Li Zhuoguang clearly didn't smell any strange odor on her at that time, and there was even a faint fragrance, which was much better than the Black Widow's.
They have known each other for such a long time. Seeing the look in Li Zhuoguang's eyes, Aliana knew what he was thinking, so she said shyly, "We elves are the darlings of nature. We have a self-cleaning physique since birth, and we will not produce body dirt or odor." When Xiong Facai heard this, he immediately cast an envious look. He was usually forced to take a bath by his wife every day at home, but his hair was thick and dense, so it was very troublesome to take a bath every time.
If he used magic to dry his hair, it would damage the hair quality. But if he let it air dry naturally, he would have to stand in the yard and shiver for a long time, and would often be laughed at by the skinny guy next door. If he could have this kind of physique, wouldn't he never have to take a bath again?
While a few people were chatting, the man walked in front of everyone, and his repeated movements were well planned. As soon as he stopped, the sand on his body was shaken off.
He first glanced at Ariana and smiled at her in a friendly manner. It was obvious that the two had dealt with each other before. Then he looked at Li Zhuoguang and others.
His eyes quickly swept across several people, and when he saw Po Jun, who was slightly darker than him, he did not react. When his eyes swept across Xiong Fa Cai and Qin Daniu, who were of similar skin color, his expression softened a little and revealed a slight smile.
But when he saw Li Zhuoguang, Wei Changfeng and William, three people whose skin was obviously much whiter, the smile on his face immediately brightened.
Everyone saw his joyful expression, and even Li Zhuoguang had some doubts. If William had not obtained the Uchiha bloodline and still had the sickly and pale skin color as before, he wondered if this man would have started to cling to William directly.
After looking everyone up and down, the newcomer began to introduce himself: "I am the mayor of Haichao City, Pierre Steven. You can just call me Old Pierre. I wonder if you all..."
"Li Zhuoguang from Rongcheng."
"Xiangshui...Chengqin Daniu."
"Wei Changfeng from Shanglin City."
"Bears of Huijing City are getting rich."
"William of Whisman City."
"The Black Abyss City is broken."
Old Pierre recalled quickly, but he could not retrieve any information about these cities from his memory. If it were someone else, he would have started to suspect that the other party was deceiving him.
However, in this world, skin symbolizes status. The skin of those people is not only fair, but also as delicate as the finest oil. I don't know how fine the sand they used to make the fragrant sand is, and I even dare to guess that they may be nobles.
It is said that the nobles would wipe their bodies with water, which is why they have such delicate skin.
Thinking of this, Old Pierre immediately became very alert. Haichao City was now at a critical time. If he could get to know a few great nobles, even if they didn't lend a hand, they would be valuable help if they stood behind him and shouted a few times.
When he waved his hand implicitly, the four followers received the order and moved the canopy towards Li Zhuoguang to provide shade for them, exposing old Pierre to the sun.
Lao Pi was suddenly dazzled and could not open his eyes. He lowered his head slightly and squinted his eyes to invite Li Zhuoguang and the others: "You have come from afar, please allow me to show my hospitality as a host."
