Chapter 6 Tailor ShopThe bamboo shoots were wrapped in dark brown shells, emitting a bright green light and carrying a fresh fragrance. Jiang Yuan clearly saw that the moment Aunt Qi saw the bamboo shoots, golden light instantly flashed in her eyes. The corners of her mouth curled up, and she couldn't stop smiling. Although she tried to refuse it, she took it honestly with her hands. Holding the bamboo shoots, Aunt Qi looked Jiang Yuan up and down and asked, "By the way, what kind of demon are you? Why don't I sense any demonic energy from you?" Jiang Yuan did not give a clever answer, but looked at Gui Yuan. Guiyuan thought for two seconds and made up a story: "This child is a monkey demon. She has just gained intelligence and is not very smart yet. Her parents are distant relatives of the village chief. They are going on a long journey for ten days. It is inconvenient to bring her with them, so they sent her to our village. But as you know, the houses in our village are built according to the number of demons in our village. There is really no room for her and this cat to live in, so we sent her to you." Aunt Qi didn't say whether she believed it or not, she just nodded and said, "Okay, leave them to me." After solving the problem, Guiyuan turned to look at Jiang Yuan. He inadvertently saw the moss and mud stains on her clothes and pants, and couldn't help but sigh. Feeling confused by Guiyuan's stare, Jiang Yuan looked down at himself and found nothing wrong. Just as he was about to ask, he saw Guiyuan reaching out and pulling him out of the restaurant. In his haste, he only left a few words: "Aunt Qi, I'll take her to buy some clothes first and give them to you later. Please help take care of the cat."
Knowing that Guiyuan had good intentions and that she really needed clothes, he saw that Da Miao was about to catch up and called out, "Da Miao, wait for me in the store. I'll be back soon." Hearing this, Big Cat moved his ears and squatted back on the ground. Aunt Qi simply responded, and when she saw them all go away, she hurried behind the counter and hid the bamboo shoots in the cupboard. Watching her actions, Big Cat said nothing... …… Although the Monster Village is just a village, it is ridiculously large and bustling, and the villagers who come and go will greet each other. Although they only asked questions like "Are you there?", "Have you eaten?", "What are you busy with?", it did not affect their enthusiastic communication at all. When Jiang Yuan came to the street, he was a little shy at first, but soon released his childish nature and pulled Gui Yuan to ask all kinds of questions. "Sister Guiyuan, what is that?" she asked, pointing at a transparent bamboo basket in a villager's hand. There was a fish swimming in the bamboo basket that looked like a lantern, glowing faintly and looking particularly conspicuous. Guiyuan took one look and replied, "It is called a lantern fish in spring and summer and lives in the water, but in autumn and winter it will shed all its fish characteristics and become a lantern bird, flying to the mountains. When it is a lantern fish, it will emit a light yellow light at night, which is brighter than a lantern. Therefore, villagers often raise it and use it as a lantern." Seeing Jiang Yuan's love for it, Gui Yuan chuckled and said, "If you like it, I'll give you one." Jiang Yuan shook her head and said, "I don't like fish, but I'm curious about how the transparent bamboo basket was made." The transparent bamboo basket was not like the plastic bag in her world. If it had not been filled with water, she would not have been able to see its existence at all. But it was precisely because of the flowing water that she could roughly make out the shape of a bamboo basket. "This..." Guiyuan paused for two seconds and explained: "The demon race has demonic power, and the container that looks like a bamboo basket is transformed by the demonic power." After she finished speaking, she suddenly murmured, "Using demonic power to transform into a container? Why didn't I think of this before? If this is the case, I won't need a bowl to eat in the future, let alone wash the dishes!" Jiang Yuan happened to hear this clearly, and her mouth twitched involuntarily, but she felt a little more envious in her heart... Led by Guiyuan, they walked into a shop called "Tailor Shop". Jiang Yuan was slightly stunned, because the store looked extremely small from the outside, but after walking in, she found that there was something special inside the store. This store not only has fabrics and needles and thread, but also some ready-made clothes, large and small, hanging on the shelves, which is dazzling.
Guiyuan only glanced at the clothes twice and then lost interest. The clothes were the same as the last time she came to see them, and it seemed that she had no new clothes. She pushed Jiang Yuan who was standing there in a daze and said, "Why are you standing there? Go see if there's anything you like." Jiang Yuan blushed slightly, leaned close to Gui Yuan's ear, and whispered, "But I don't have the money from your world." "Money... is that what you call it in your world?" Guiyuan said. Seeing Jiang Yuan nod, he continued, "The universal currency in our world is called shell money. It is made of a rare shell that is not afraid of water or fire, and even the power of demons cannot break it. We use it to exchange most things in this world." As she spoke, she scratched her head, as if she suddenly thought of something, and added, "In addition to shells, you can also barter. For example, just now, I used Aunt Qi's favorite bamboo shoots to pay for your and Da Miao's board and lodging at her place." Jiang Yuan listened carefully and nodded from time to time in response. Based on what the village chief said, she could conclude that not only could she not go back now, but she would even stay in this world for a long time. Therefore, what Guiyuan said now was not only the common sense of this world, but perhaps also her life-saving talisman in the future. After Guiyuan finished explaining, he comforted Jiang Yuan and said, "As for the money for buying things, you don't have to worry about it. The village chief has given me enough shells." Hearing this, Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to look at the clothes hanging on the wooden rack with confidence. Looking through the clothes, she found that they were either too complicated or too expensive. Even though she didn't know the prices, she could roughly guess by seeing other monsters bargaining with the people in the shops. Finally, Jiang Yuan chose a light grey, chest-length skirt. If nothing else, it was stain-resistant and not too cumbersome. Seeing that the dress was not only ugly in color but also of poor quality, Guiyuan advised her to change it. But after much persuasion, Jiang Yuan remained unmoved! Helpless, Guiyuan had to accept her fate and took the dress to the counter to pay. After paying the bill, she found out that the dress only cost her nine cowrie shells. Looking at the bag that seemed to have not been short of anything, Guiyuan couldn't help but sigh. This was the first time in her life that she had shells but couldn't spend them... Seeing that it was getting late, Guiyuan took Jiangyuan and prepared to return the way they had come. But as soon as they walked out of the tailor shop, they saw several demons that looked much taller than Guiyuan, surrounding them... Gui Yuan protected Jiang Yuan behind him, frowned slightly, and scolded: "Ah Huang, what do you want to do?" The answer to the first question-and-answer activity is the fourth option.
