Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 459 Starting from the Grass Roots

Nami Star is really beautiful. 50% of it is covered by water. Most of the water is not vast oceans but scattered inland lakes. Because the planet was not separated by oceans in ancient times, cultural and technological exchanges among various places are very convenient. It is also one of the geographical factors for the prosperity of the Nami Star.

It is the summer of Nami Star and it’s really hot. However, the high green coverage has brought the coolness of summer. Lin Luoran and others choose a starship to go directly to the capital and they soon reach their destination.

The starship lands on the outskirts of the city where classic vintage cars are everywhere. It is said that the fuel of the cars is like water and the exhaust emissions do not pollute the air. And there are more...carriages? Carriages? In order to protect their planet, the Nami people can do this?

Lin Luoran twitches and Colin Weir is also shocked.

The Weir family is also a big family on the Caesar Star. When he was enjoying his extravagant life, he still never thought of using this method to show his nobility. It’s not hard to know how extravagant the Nami Star is. They have advanced technology but they just don’t drive cars. When he returns to his hometown, he also wants to get eight white horses to pull carriage for him, which is more eye-catching than any airships.

The transportation is very retro. However, when Lin Luoran gets on a carriage, she realizes that it is actually a result of technological advancement. The shock absorption device of the carriage is perfect and the road is very smooth. Except for the slow speed, the carriage is not bumpy at all. This place doesn’t take gold coins as currency. Every deputy coachman has a small card swiping device for them... Under the retro appearance, it is actually high technology. The two things are perfectly integrated.

The coachman is well-dressed and the carriage is clean and tidy. The capital of the Nami Star is called “Maple Leaf City”. In autumn, the city is filled with red maple leaves everywhere. With natural and historical scenery, Maple Leaf City is a famous tourist destination of Nami Alliance. This coachman serves so many tourists every year that he almost becomes a guide.

Halfway the journey, Lin Luoran has already known a lot of accommodations and delicious food in Maple Leaf City from the coachman.

The residents who can live on the Nami Star are mostly nobles or Nami people who inherit property from their ancestry. Only rich or powerful foreign people can live here. Suburban castles are everywhere and they are more expensive than the houses of Huaxia before the New Era. Normal people can’t afford them at all.

A lot of people visit Nami Star every year. In addition to a few big hotels, guest houses are also a good choice for them because they can know more about the customs of Nami Star.

“Your interstellar standard language is pretty good. Since you have introduced so much, how about recommending a clean guest house for us?”

The driver laughs shyly, “As long as the lady asks, I am willing to help you.”

He takes Lin Luoran and others to go sightseeing in the city and introduces the regional distribution of Maple Leaf City briefly. He then takes Lin Luoran and other people to a busy alley.

It is a tavern and many Nami people are sitting there talking aloud. This place is filled with the taste of beer, barbecue, and the sweetness of cheese. It is really a good place.

“This is really a good place.”

The coachman takes off his hat and stoops, “My mother runs this place. I hope guests coming from afar can enjoy it.”

This is a young man with red hair and freckles on his nose. Lin Luoran is not angry about his manipulative mind and she actually likes the environment here.

Compared to a perfect but starchy royal hotel, Lin Luoran feels more at ease in this family hotel with a good atmosphere to talk and laugh. Just like her Taoist name, Mortal Heart, Lin can only feel the peace and tranquility in the mortal world.

The siblings of the Ma family are also very happy. They grew up in a very shabby community and they feel familiar with this tavern.

The four of Lin Luoran stand in front of the tavern and they are dressed differently from the Nami Star people. The people who drink and chat here see many tourists every year and they don’t bully them at all. Everyone laughs, “Mrs. Susan, your son takes people back again. Such a smart boy!”

“He graduated from the Royal School of Etiquette. If we had some social connection, he would be more than enough to be a manager in the palace.”

“But coachman is also a good job. The tips from the guests are quite a lot of credit points.”

“Yes...”

Middle-aged women are not the only people who like to gossip. Older men gather together and they are like hundreds of sparrows when they have free time.

In the tavern, a middle-aged woman in a blue dress comes out. She also has red hair which is tied up on the top of her head. Her skin is very white and she is really a middle-aged beautiful woman.

“I am Susan. Are you here to visit Nami Star?”

Susan doesn’t seem to hire any servants. Regular customers laugh aloud and make way for Lin Luoran and the others. Many people go to the tall counter for more wine by themselves.

Now it is less than half a month before the Nami princess’s wedding. People who come to watch the ceremony are all over Maple Leaf City. This tavern is a bit remote so it is not totally booked. Susan takes them to the backyard. Lin Luoran hears that there are four rooms on the third floor and she decides to stay here.

The wooden floor creaks when people step on it. The flower garden downstairs is filled with lisianthuses. It is a typical medieval European courtyard.

The old wooden boards of the room is very clean. Quill pens and plain letterhead are placed on the long table. Sunlight pours into the house through the lattice curtains. A dressing mirror as tall as a person is set in the closet and everything looks just perfect.

“Thank you, Mrs. Susan. This is really a nice place.”

Susan wipes her hands on the apron. Nami Star has a lot of beauties. However, facing a beauty like Lin Luoran with black hair, black eyes, and skin like jade, Susan feels unusually nervous.

“The bathroom is at the corner of the corridor. It’s hot so we deliberately bring the spring water down here. Maybe you can wash first.”

After introducing the house, Susan politely says goodbye.

Lin Luoran contacts the “Alpha-Edward” starship and reports that they are safe now. Then she asks the three of them, “Do you guys feel satisfied with this place?”

Ma Shuangshuang has slipped to see her room and nods violently, “The layout here is like the fairy tale kingdom I read when I was a kid.”

The fairy tales she read are all masterpieces of the former masters before the New Era. Because of the social background, it’s usual that Ma Shuangshuang feels familiar with this.

Ma Yiming runs for a mountain spring bath while Colin Weir endures the sweaty stickiness. He feels a little puzzled now, “Lady, it’s hard for us to sell our chilies if we live here.”

Lin Luoran has known Colin Weir’s plans. One of the plans is to make sure chilies appear at the wedding dinner of the princess and then it will naturally be very easy to sell them.

He wants to use the method of the nobility leading the fashion. Lin Luoran thinks about it and shakes her head. “It’s not easy to ask those nobles to eat spicy food on such a hot day. There is still half a month for us to plan it. We should start from the grass roots.”

She will definitely go to see the royal wedding but it’s not mainly for watching it. She wants to meet Nolan Mancia, the mysterious royal designer of yellow jadeite phoenix hairpin.

The real delicacy can become popular very quickly. Lin Luoran gives up Colin’s plan which is to show up unexpectedly at the princess wedding dinner. Lin wants to start from the grass roots and she gets the inspiration from this tavern. She thinks these alcoholic Nami people can never refuse the charm of beer with barbecue.

Colin thinks of the feasibility of this new plan in his mind. With enough people and momentum, the chance of success is still great.

“Is half a month enough?”

“No... so we have to act quickly.”

Lin Luoran looks out from the third floor. The houses in these alleys are not high. Houses with three storeys are the highest and she can see the whole street. There is another tavern after two corners. That tavern is adjacent to the main street and its business is very great. It owns several houses to pile beer and ingredients.

Lin Luoran feels happy at once, “Well, the place is ready now. You can go to handle the transferring of cargo to the Nami Star. Oh, bring the coconuts with you. I feel you can also sell them. ”

No matter for selling chilies or running a store, they are not for making a living in desperate. Colin is trying to prove Lin Luoran that he is valuable so he does a lot of work. Lin Luoran also wants to train the siblings of the Ma family so she asks them to buy a yard.

Both Ma Yiming and Ma Shuangshuang have no experience. Fortunately, Ma Yiming is willing to use his brain, so he asks for information all over. He finally makes it. Ma buys a popular store with a yard, which is a little more expensive than the market price and costs 8.9 million credit points.

That place has a large area and it is popular. The house prices of Maple Leaf City is high and they want to buy it as soon as possible. Therefore, it is natural that they buy it at an expensive price.

Anyway, they live near it and can reach their new home just after a few walls. Lin Luoran takes the siblings of the Ma family to decorate it overnight. They change the tavern into a place which is more suitable for barbecue. The owner has sold the store with beers to Ma Yiming and it saves them lots of effort.

Colin is still handling the transshipment of goods. Lin Luoran has to take the siblings of the Ma family to purchase ingredients.

She doesn’t plan to use the monster meat in space. It is not worth it at all. She has to buy some local meat and other spices for barbecue.

Mrs. Susan only feels that the newcomers are very quiet. They do not show up except for dinner time. She never knows that they have secretly prepared for the opening of a shop.

Can Lin Luoran’s so-called grass roots route work?

In fact, she is just doing it for fun. If just for getting into the royal wedding, she can do it without anyone noticing it.

Taking out the yellow jadeite phoenix hairpin, Lin Luoran says nothing. Does she feel nervous before meeting her fellow?
