Volume 1 Chapter 57 (1/2)

New advertisement

It was already the latter half of September and the summer heat began to gradually dissipate. There was even a cool feeling that filled the breeze in the air.

On the trees by the roads, there was a trace of yellow that appeared in the originally green leaves. When the wind blew through them, there would be one or two that fell down with it from time to time.

However even in this refreshing autumn weather, Freeman was covered in sweat, soaking the shirt that he was wearing. It was very uncomfortable having the shirt stick to his body.

But there was no other choice here. Anyone who was carrying a two hundred pounds bag of wheat from Ireland to Banta City, which was a trip of close to thirty kilometers would be covered in sweat.

Actually he didn’t need to make it this hard for himself because the day of the fall harvest, the McGrady Chamber of Commerce from Banta City that specialized in the grains business had already sent someone to the villages to buy their harvest. Most of the wheat in the village had already been sold to them.

Freeman had done this in the past few years, but this year he chose to send his best wheat to Banta City himself to sell.

The reason was very simple. He had asked around this year and he found that if he sold it in Ireland Village, each pound of would be sold for three copper coins less than in Banta City.

If it was for over two hundred pounds of wheat, this difference was around seven-eight silver coins.

Perhaps to the nobles of Banta City, if seven-eight gold coins were to fall on the ground, they would be too lazy to acknowledge their existence. Even for the citizens of Ireland Village, they didn’t care that much, so they almost all chose to sell their wheat to the McGrady Chamber of Commerce in their villages.

However, for Freeman with a poor family of three children crying for food, seven-eight gold coins was an amount he couldn’t ignore.

The other villages thought it was too troublesome, but Freeman insisted on bringing his wheat to Banta City just for these seven-eight silver coins.

A cool breeze suddenly blew and made it much more refreshing for Freeman.

He temporarily stopped his cart and grabbed a towel to wipe his sweat, as he prepared to rest for a bit.

The walls of Banta City was already in sight and there was still some time before noon, so he didn’t need to rush.

Looking up after wiping off the sweat on his face, Freeman’s eyes suddenly fell onto a location outside of Banta City and he suddenly made a yi sound.

Outside the walls of Banta City, there was a giant brand that had been there the entire time. Not only were the citizens inside Banta City familiar with it, even the villagers like Freeman from outside the city were familiar with it. Each time he had business in Banta City, Freeman couldn’t help taking a look at the sign.

It was for no other reason than to see the beautiful and noble girl on the sign.

But when Freeman looked at the sign once again out of habit, he found that the picture on it had changed.

On the sign, other than the beautiful girl, there was the Frestech Brand Magic Fan on it.

The first time he saw the picture on the sign, Freeman had already been deeply attracted.

Other than remembering the beautiful girl, he also remembered the Frestech Brand Magic Fan. He even secretly made up his mind that as long as his family became a bit richer, he would definitely buy a Frestech Brand Magic Fan to bring back, letting the three kids in his family enjoy a cool breeze on a hot summer day.

However on the image of the giant sign now, other than the beautiful girl that Freeman was familiar with, there were two other young girls on their as well.

Although the two girls weren’t as pretty as the other girl, they were also still quite pretty. One was very lively and one was a gentle beauty, giving people different feelings.

The three girls in the picture were around a table and based on the cooked dishes, they were prepared to eat.

But in the center of the table was a strange round iron tub. The lively looking girl with a round face had a rice paddle in her hand and was digging out fragrant rice from the strange iron thing.

“What is that thing?” Freeman looked at the image in confusion. After thinking for a bit, he guessed something, “The previous image was an advertisement the Frestech Chamber of Commerce did for the Magic Fan, so this should also be an advertisement? But what is that strange thing? Why is there cooked rice inside it?”
