Chapter 396: Second meeting with the above (9)

Seeing so many men and women in neat uniforms made Fro very nervous.

"Respected High Priestess, is this the high official who has come to pick us up?"

"They are high-ranking officials who came to check on your situation and count your numbers so they can go back and prepare supplies. The people who will actually take over your position will be seen next time."

Just these two sentences made the three deputy ministers and others look different instantly.

Especially Captain Lin and others who were standing a little further away, they couldn't help but turn slightly and glance at the various foods on the table.

Fro came here just to find out if someone else would take over today. Since it wasn't, he chatted for a few words and then bowed and left.

As soon as he walked away, Yenne felt a strong arm on her shoulder.

When she turned around, it was Deputy Minister Su who was holding her back to the table.

Her secretary was in charge of keeping watch, observing the crowd beyond the awning, on guard against anyone coming again.

"What are you doing? Deputy Minister Su, please calm down and talk nicely~"

"Just be quiet for now." Deputy Minister Su patted Ye Nai lightly.

"Okay." Ye Nai was extremely well-behaved.

The staff officers were already analyzing the various foods on the table.

Everyone had tasted it before, and when Ye Nai was talking to Fro, they found that they could almost understand what he said in just a few words.

This made them realize that this was the quick method that Ye Na told them. It only took one meal and was simple and quick.

"First, eliminate the staple food." The staff looked sharp. "Ms. Ye Nai did intelligence business with the nobles from the other world, which made them speak Dahua Mandarin. It must not be caused by these staple foods."

"So in these side dishes?"

"The salads are all our own vegetable varieties. They don't have energy and are all grown in a forced way, so they are not either."

“That leaves only one dish.”

The staff officers moved all the other bowls and plates to the two ends of the long table. At this time, only a plate of cold dish was left in the middle of the table.

That plate of spicy and sour mixed mushrooms.

Everyone looked at Ye Nai, their eyes filled with excitement and delight.

"Mushrooms taste like they have a weak energy, is that right?"

"Yes, I call it the translation mushroom."

Ye Nai didn't act pretentiously and nodded in agreement. She then took out five leaf bags and filled them with translation mushrooms one by one.

"Hey, these three are for you, and these two, one for the government and one for the experts."

"Okay, thank you!"

The three staff officers happily held the five bags in their arms.

"Don't mind, Captain Lin. I'll give you a pot of braised pork with soybeans as an extra dish tonight."

Ye Na did not leave Captain Lin behind. She directly took out the pressure cooker for stewing meat, opened the lid, and a rich aroma of meat and energy wafted out.

An experienced person can tell that this pot of meat is full of energy just by smelling it.

Ye Na then took out a large takeout box, filled it up and gave it to Captain Lin.

Captain Lin took it with great joy.

"Thank you!" After wiping the table, Ye Na finally took out a pile of letters.

"These are daily letters from knights. They are suitable for accumulating basic vocabulary. How about eating some? See how much you can understand?"

"Eat, eat, and keep eating."

The food that had just been placed far away was moved back and put back in place. The previously used paper bowls and chopsticks could no longer be identified by who used them, so they were thrown into the trash can and replaced with new ones.

Previously, he only took half a spoonful of the staple food, but this time he filled the bowl with it and ate it with big mouthfuls of cold-mixed mushrooms.

Yenna took out all the cooked staple foods from other worlds that she had, including a large pot of translation mushrooms, and let them eat as much as they wanted.

After each of them finished a bowl of rice and wiped their hands and mouths, they divided the nobles' letters and read them one by one.

The more you eat, the more amazing the effect is. You can pick up a piece of letter paper at random and find that you can understand the content on it. It is indeed easy to understand. The handwritten text that seemed like a mystery in your hand, after staring at it for a while, you will slowly understand the meaning of these words and sentences.

“Oh my god, I can really understand it!”

"Ms. Ye Nai, is this translation mushroom easy to grow?"

"It's easy to grow, but it can only be grown in an alien environment."

"Are there any conditions required? For example, the substrate for growing the fungi?" asked Deputy Minister Cheng of the Logistics Department.

"It doesn't matter if there is no substrate, as long as there is a nutrient-rich forest. Fast-growing bacteria will grow in a few days, but harvesting requires manpower."

Yenne purposely kept it to herself and didn't let them know that in the alien environment, this kind of translation mushroom could grow in just a few seconds.

“Manpower is easy to handle, but in the past, if you wanted to grow mushrooms, you needed a safe living environment.”

"Yes, there is a military fort at the foot of the mountain. There are villages not far from the military fort. Further away are the former territories of former knights and former barons. The territory I control is absolutely safe."

Everyone immediately thought of the women and children they had seen before. If they remembered correctly, they were the families of the former knights and barons.

"That's absolutely fine."

"Do you want to take these letters back and give them to others to try? These are all originals. Keep them safe when you take them back. I don't have any copies."

"No, no, I won't bring it this time. It's the same if I take pictures and bring them back."

The secretaries immediately gathered together and prepared to take pictures of the contents of the letter.

“This thing can be put in a museum later.”

"Don't be so nervous. I have plenty of paper materials like letters and books."

Ye Na stood there motionless, and several tall bookcases suddenly appeared on the open space near the alfalfa field.

This kind of bookcase can be moved. It is just placed on the ground and is not fixed to the wall. It is not a giant bookshelf embedded in the wall.

And this is only a part of what is displayed. Ye Nai has the character of confiscating property wherever he goes, and there are a lot of various paper books and materials accumulated in the space.

"Want to take a look? See if the little translation mushroom I just ate can help me understand those books."

Before Ye Na could finish her words, everyone had already run towards the bookcases, pulled out a book at random, and ran back under the awning to open it.

During this trial reading, Ye Nai witnessed with her own eyes that even these people in high positions were also having trouble seeing things. She turned around to clean up the table and pretended not to see anything.

In the alien global environment of knowledge monopoly, the books that can be well kept, even popular novels to kill time, have obscure words and sentences, not to mention professional books. Yenne herself has eaten a lot of translation mushrooms, but she is not willing to read those books, and often falls asleep after reading two pages.

If she was asked to read, she would rather read everyday letters and notes and children's storybooks.

The popular novels, historical biographies, memoirs, political economy, military culture, geography, philosophy and wizard series, each one more difficult to understand, she didn't even want to look at the cover.

Judging by the standards of the upper class in the other world, she could only be considered semi-illiterate, but she had no problem communicating in language, otherwise she would not be able to do business with so many middle and high-level customers.
