The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

As the shrimp meat entered his mouth, a spicy taste burst out from his mouth.

The chewy shrimp meat jumped around in his mouth, as if it still had life.

He was a little surprised at once. The taste was really impactful.

It seems that as long as this seasoning is used to make food, no matter what flavor it is, it will be covered up by it. I always feel that this seasoning has other purposes when it is discovered.

For example, it can cover up some foods with strong smells.

Thor asked curiously, "Do you have any left?"

He wanted to take some back for his teacher and younger brother to try. If he didn't eat such a novel food this time, he might remember it for the rest of his life.

The boy said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we have a daily quota, and today's production has sold out. If you want it, you can only order it tomorrow."

Thor asked, "Are you going back to prepare the materials?"

The boy seemed to have no ulterior motives and answered directly, "That's right. Every time we close our stall, my sister and I go to the creek near the farm to collect traps. We then use the lobsters we catch to make the lobsters we need to sell the next day."

Thor thought for a moment and said, "You two kids, doing so many things, isn't it a waste of time?"

He suggested, "How about this? I'll go with you and help you work. You make an extra copy and sell it to me today. How about that?"

As if fearing the boy's refusal, Thor immediately assured him, "I'll only help you with the catching and cleaning. I can wait outside while the actual production is being done."

Having said this, Thor showed a pleading look.

The little boy seemed to consider that Thor had come from afar, or for some other reason, and finally nodded and agreed to his request reluctantly.

Thor was also very considerate. He stood up and went to help the boy and his sister clean up the stall.

As a native villager of Baihua Village, Thor naturally did things with ease. After all, he was an adult and much stronger than the two children. With his help, the containers used to hold lobsters were quickly moved to a cart.

Thor saw that the things were almost packed, so he asked, "Where do you live? Let me help you push it over there!"

Although this kind of stroller can save effort to a certain extent, it is still too difficult for two children to push it back and forth.

The little boy smiled and said, "No need. Grandpa will be here soon and he will help us push it back. And it was Grandpa who pushed it back for us!"

Thor then realized that it was indeed too difficult for these children to push such a large car.

So he and the two kids waited for a while.

Sure enough, not long after, an old man with sunburned skin walked towards them.

The old man's hair is sparse, but you can still vaguely see a few strands of black hair, so he may not be too old.

He saw the old man greeting the boy and his sister from a distance.

The smile on his face was so obvious that it seemed like it was about to jump out.

The old man trotted over to the cart, seemingly not noticing Thor, and asked the boy with a smile, "How are your sales today?"

The boy said proudly, "They're all sold out! The customers today are very enthusiastic, and there are still many people waiting in line who haven't seen their turn yet."

Then, he pointed at Thor and said, "Grandpa, this customer came from far away. After tasting it, he really regretted not buying one. So he wanted to help us catch it so that we can make one and sell it to him directly after we get home."

After the little boy mentioned it, the old man realized that Thor was looking at them.

He said to Thor in a calmer tone: "Where is this guest from?"

Thor answered directly: "I am from Baihua Village. I was originally on the border, but the Golden Rooster Kingdom launched a war and our village was destroyed."

"Then, my teacher, my brother, and I heard that the people here live a prosperous life, so we wanted to come and take a look. When we arrived, we saw your grandson just starting to set up his stall."

"The main reason was that I had never seen this kind of food before, so I was a little hesitant and didn't make up my mind to buy it directly."

The old man smiled and said, "Kid, you are too young. The reason we can buy things here is naturally because the food we sell is not problematic."

"You're just too cautious."

Thor defended himself, "There's nothing I can do. After all, the colors of this creature are too bright. If I don't try it myself, I really can't accept it."

As he spoke, the old man had already started pushing the cart and said as he walked, "Come with us. Since you are a guest from outside, we will make an exception and make a special portion for you."

Thor thanked him sincerely, "Thank you very much! I will pay you double for this!"

The old man said directly and cheerfully, "Forget about the money, just consider it our treat this time!"

Thor immediately shook his head: "No, no, no! How can this be possible? The three of us grown men have big appetites. If we don't pay, I will feel guilty!"

"Don't worry, I'll pay with precious metals, not Golden Rooster Coupons!"

Regarding the issue of the Golden Rooster Coupon, almost everyone knows that it has collapsed. Even if it is endorsed by the Golden Rooster Kingdom, no one will recognize its value.

In response to this, the old man could only nod his head, which was considered as his agreement.

The four of them slowly walked out of the city. Although Thor had repeatedly expressed his willingness to help the old man push the cart, he was always rejected.

So Thor began to talk to the old man about some things.

He asked directly, "Old man, where is your son? Wouldn't he be more suitable to do this kind of work?"

At this point, the old man explained as if he wasn't on guard: "My son is working for the Duke now! He gets paid a silver coin every day! This job makes much more money than we do farming!"

"It's a pity that I'm too old to go."

Thor asked in surprise, "What? There's such a lucrative job?"

"Do you think my age meets the requirements?"

The old man looked Thor up and down and murmured, "Although your beard is thick, your actual age does not seem very old. By the way, are you married? What's the situation with your partner and children?"

Thor said helplessly: "Not yet, let alone the child."

Hearing this, the old man shook his head slightly and sighed, "Then you don't meet the requirements. After all, the most basic requirement for this job is that you need to have a partner and have offspring."

Thor couldn't help but ask, "Why is there such a strange request?"

The old man asked, "Isn't it strange? Being a soldier is a life-threatening job. If you don't have any offspring, what if you die on the battlefield?"

"Join the army!?"
