Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Chapter 52 The Emergence of Handicrafts

At this time, footsteps were heard outside, and Mingxing, the young man sitting inside, immediately stood up.

The person who walked in was not Ning Kuan, but a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, with a pink little girl with long horns lying on his head.

Ming Xing was stunned for a moment, then quickly saluted: "Minister of the Salt God, Ming Xing, pays homage to the Human King Guili. Long live the Human King!"

He had heard of the Human King Guili from his father, but had never seen him. Now that they met for the first time, he was surprised that this Human King did not look much older than himself!

"You are Mingxing, where is Uncle Mingyou?" Zhu Yuncheng looked at the young man and asked, "Why didn't he come?"

"Reporting to the Human King, it was Grandpa. Two months ago, Grandpa suddenly ate several kilograms of meat in one meal, and then fell asleep on the bed. When I woke up in the morning, Grandpa had already..."

When Mingxing said this, his eyes turned red.

Zhu Yuncheng sighed. When Mingyou first met him, he was already in his fifties. Twenty years later, he would be in his seventies. In Teyvat, where the average life expectancy of ordinary humans is in their sixties, this is considered a long life.

He reached out and gently patted Mingxing's shoulder: "Your grandfather has done us a favor. If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me."

What Zhu Yuncheng said was correct. If he had not obtained the secret of refining jade from him, the establishment of Qianyan Army would have been greatly delayed. Also, the new generation of Guiliji people became strong thanks to him persuading the salt god Heuliah and the king of Yancheng to take out more salt in exchange.

"Thank you, King Guiliren." When Mingxing heard this, tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Yeah." Zhu Yuncheng nodded gently, then turned to ask Ning Kuan, "Have the people from Chenyu Valley arrived?"

Ning Kuan thought about it and said, "It seems that it hasn't happened yet, but it will be soon, probably in the next two days."

"Well, the job of exchanging salt is left to you, Ganyu. Senior Brother will take you to the market to eat delicious food!"

"Delicious!" Gan Yu cheered a little when she heard that. In her memory, every autumn, her senior brother would take her to the market outside Guiliji City to buy delicious food. Those things were much better than eating flowers and plants in the mountains.

"You bastard!" Ning Kuan looked at Zhu Yuncheng's leaving back, feeling extremely angry.

The farmers, who have worked hard for a year, have finally welcomed the harvest season. They are counting on their fingers, calculating how much food to leave for their families, how much to take out to worship the emperor, to exchange for Mora, and to buy new clothes.

Return to the trading market outside the city.

Although the weather is not good at the moment, rain shelters have already been set up above the trading market, and it is extremely lively here with people coming here to sell or trade.

All I saw were various stalls set up in the empty spaces planned by Zhu Yuncheng.

The largest number of people were farmers who piled grain on wooden carts.

This wooden cart was also made by Zhu Yuncheng. Since becoming the King of Guili, Zhu Yuncheng no longer has to explain carefully to the demons and immortals what he wants to promote as before. As long as he thinks it is reasonable to have this thing at this stage, he will do it!

When the immortal emperors saw that this would benefit the people of Guiliji, they did not ask Zhu Yuncheng.

"Shopkeeper, give me ten skewers of meat, half with Jueyun pepper and half without."

"Okay, two Moras in total."

Zhu Yuncheng was wearing the cloak made for him by Liuyun, which he could carry with him. On the one hand, it could cover his face, and on the other hand, it could hide the little Ganyu in his arms.

Zhu Yuncheng handed the non-spicy skewers to Ganyu, and he ate them while strolling around the trading market.

Ganyu in his arms quickly finished eating five skewers of barbecued meat. She twisted her body, raised her little head and looked eagerly at the skewers in Zhu Yuncheng's hand.

"You little greedy sheep." Zhu Yuncheng thought about it, took out a piece of barbecue and put it in front of little Ganyu's mouth with a wicked smile.

"Ah~" The latter immediately opened her mouth and ate the piece of barbecue. Then her cheeks immediately turned red and she spit the barbecue directly into her hands.

"Ouch, it hurts, ouch~" Little Ganyu held the piece of barbecue in her hand, tears in her eyes. After a while, she put it into her mouth and then spit it out.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuncheng couldn't help laughing, and took out a piece of cloth from his arms to wipe Xiao Ganyu's mouth: "Don't eat if it hurts."

"Woo woo~" Little Ganyu made a dissatisfied sound when she saw her barbecue being taken away by Zhu Yuncheng, and then her attention was attracted by a stall.

Zhu Yuncheng followed his gaze and saw a number of small wooden sculptures of various animals placed on a stall.

"Shopkeeper, what is this?" At this moment, a man came forward and asked, "What is it for?"

"I made this myself," said the shopkeeper, who looked to be in his twenties. "I didn't know what it was for, but I thought of selling it because my family was short of money."

"Why are you selling this useless thing?" The man glared at the shop owner and left in dissatisfaction, making the shop owner blush.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuncheng immediately went up and looked at these fist-sized wooden animals while asking, "Shopkeeper, what do you usually do?"

"My family was originally a hunter. Twenty years ago, my father became a pig farmer after he obtained two pigs and two iron farm tools from the Human King," said the shop owner.

"Oh." Zhu Yuncheng nodded. "In that case, why do you have time to do these things?"

The shopkeeper was a little confused, looking at the person in front of him with his face covered.

Zhu Yuncheng thought about it, then lifted his cloak, revealing his face.

The moment the shopkeeper saw Zhu Yuncheng, his eyes widened and he subconsciously wanted to pay his respects. Fortunately, Zhu Yuncheng put a finger to his mouth in time, signaling him to be quiet, and then put on his cloak again: "You can tell me now."

"Yes, long live the Human King!" The shopkeeper was excited. He didn't expect to see the Human King here, who could only be seen during the Chinese New Year. He swallowed his saliva and said, "At that time, my father took iron farm tools and occupied four acres of land. My father and I, one with iron and the other with stone, were able to finish the farming in the morning. My mother was feeding pigs at home, so we basically had nothing to do in the afternoon.

Ten years ago, I saw a statue of Emperor Jun, and it occurred to me that I could carve a statue of Emperor Jun myself and place it at home for worship. But I was worried that my sculpture wouldn’t look like him, so I started carving from a pig at home.”

The sculptures of Emperor and Guizhong on the stage of the Guili City Festival were not made by the people of Guiliji, but were sculpted by Minghai Zhenjun. The reason is that the people of Guili also tried to sculpt the image of Emperor in the early days, but they were extremely abstract and Minghai Zhenjun could not bear to see them.

The shopkeeper continued, "But in recent years, my four children have been born one after another, and the food we get from raising pigs and farming is barely enough for food. But we don't have much Mora to buy new clothes, so I thought about selling these to see if I can get a good price."

Zhu Yuncheng nodded slightly, with a look of satisfaction on his face. The benefits of the improvement in productivity finally showed up - the emergence of handicraft industry.

In fact, theoretically speaking, the textile industry can also be regarded as a handicraft industry, but Guili Ji's textile industry came from Guizhong's teachings, rather than being produced naturally.
