"Tsk." Charles pressed his face to the front, carefully looking at himself in the mirror.
He didn't look in the mirror often, and suddenly saw his face, feeling very strange.
"Is there such a big change? I remember that I shouldn't have grown like this." Charles murmured.
"Then what did Mr. Charles look like before?"
"I don't remember clearly, but it should not be so fierce." Charles said as he put his clothes back on.
After watching for a while, Charles turned to look at the gunner on the table. "Come on, Lily, walk with me on the street."
"Hmm!" Lily lit her little head excitedly.
One person and one mouse came out of the captain's cabin and came to the deck of the Narwhal.
Standing on the deck, looking towards Hope Island, I saw that the former simple straw shed was renovated and became taller and wider.
If the previous thatched shed was just a crooked centipede, then the current thatched shed is a big octopus crawling on the island. The tentacles of the "octopus" crawl over the entire island as people demand.
In the distance, some people wearing hats with wide brimmed brim, go in and out of the "octopus" like ants.
When Charles walked to the beach, a street inside the tentacles under the "octopus" appeared in front of them.
Some low-rise houses have appeared on both sides of the street. Because Charles did not allow trees to be felled, most of the houses are made of stones. Because they are not strong enough to prevent the collapse and overwhelming people, most of the houses have no roof. .
But it is such a simple building, it is just to highlight the excitement of the pedestrian street.
Charles held Lily with his hands and walked slowly along the street. He looked at the goods placed on the stones in the store. The goods were not much less than the coral island.
"Mr. Charles, I want to eat that." Lily walked towards a shop selling drinks.
"Banana wine? You made this wine from bananas?" Charles pointed his finger at the light brown liquid in the urn.
"Yes, sir, it is the kind of food named by the Governor, bananas, which are not available on other islands. Would you like 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 when he saw the price of 300 Echoes. He didn't expect this glass of wine to be so expensive.
"Mr., bananas are now purchased at a fixed price by the Ministry of Agriculture, and the quantity is still very small. I bought it with great difficulty."
Charles didn't say anything, took out the paper money and handed it over. He really gave this order.
Among various fruits, banana has the most starch and is the most suitable staple food.
He asked Frey to find someone to open up a field to try if he could grow bananas. It would be very inconvenient for an island to import food.
The banana tree is a bit slow in ten months, but it grows a lot. A tree can hang up to more than one hundred at a time. The yield is not comparable to rice, but at least comparable to corn.
As for storage, you can put bananas in the sun to dry bananas. Anyway, it has no sugar and is storage-resistant.
Lily held the cup excitedly, put her head in and took a breath, and nodded excitedly at Charles. "Mr. Charles, although this banana is not delicious, it is really good for making wine! Would you like to try it?"
The hotel owner next to him has a wonderful expression, not that he dislikes the mouse for drinking from his cup, or he is surprised that the mouse can speak.
"If it tastes good, you can drink more." Charles asked the beer belly man who bought alcohol: Friend, is this street safe? "
"Yeah..." There was a trace of embarrassment on that face.
"What's the matter? Is there any problem?" Charles was taken aback. How long hadn't the order appeared, someone broke?
"Safety is pretty safe, but the masked young director is a bit too harsh. He just stole something and cut off his palm. The robbery was shot directly in the street. Everyone he got was cautious."
"Is it……"
"Yeah, to be honest, the Governor really doesn't take human life seriously for letting this kind of guy with no hair grow so much power."
Seeing Lily poking her head out of the cup and glaring at the hotelier with her hands on hips, Charles returned the cup to the hotelier.
"Maybe, but in this way, the troubles of other islands are not all gone."
Charles finished speaking, and walked towards the crowd with Lily.
Dip is really frizzy, but as long as a person stays in one position, he can always find the best way to do things for him.
Moving on, Char found some things that other islands couldn't see.
The believers of the Illuminati, the explorer crew, and the pioneers, no matter what their status, everyone is full of vitality.
I hope that the island is a waste of time. It is not difficult for anyone to support themselves, and there are all kinds of business opportunities here. As long as you turn your mind fast enough, you can make a lot of money right away.
As he walked, a huge square appeared in front of Charles. Looking at the large thatched shed above his head, Charles judged that this should be the location of the center of the "octopus" ~ EbookFREE.me~ There is a huge hanging in the center of the square. The sign, a large group of people were surrounding the inner and outer three floors.
As soon as Charles approached, he heard someone in the crowd explaining the above decrees to illiterate companions.
"The above is a lot of mess, but it's actually one thing. Hope the island will start selling land. As long as you have money and buy a piece of land here, you will be a permanent islander here. By the way, there are An additional clause, future generations must pay taxes on inheriting land."
"Does it say what the price is?"
"The distance to the center of the island is different, the price is different, and the cheapest one needs 2 million echoes."
"The sun is here, how much land does the whole island have? How many echoes can this exchange? No wonder some people say that as long as you become a governor, you don't have to worry about echoes anymore."
"No matter what you choose, I want to buy a set anyway. Settling on this island is definitely better than other places."
Lily raised her head and looked at Charles. "Mr. Charles, you are so rich now."
Touching Lily's head with his hand, Charles quickly glanced over the faces of the crowd.
They heatedly discussed whether they needed to buy, and they were calculating which lot to buy the most cost-effective.
But Charles did not see anyone talking about the Bright Land of Infinite Land.
"Hey, didn't the Governor say that the above is the land of light? There is infinite land there, why should I care about it?" Charles patted a person on the shoulder and asked.
The man looked at Charles with contemptuous eyes, "Are you a kid? What do you believe in what others say? There is really a bright place, and the governor will jam the door and collect taxes from ordinary people like us."
