Chapter 1 Yuelai General Store

Yuelai General Store is the largest and most diverse grocery store in the Coconut Island country. It originated from a war: the Xinyou Naval Battle.
In the year 1501 AD, representatives from Jiaozhi Kingdom came to persuade the king of the Coconut Island country. They claimed that there were fifteen small cities on the southwest border of Ming Dynasty that seemed easy to conquer. As the saying goes, the higher the sky, the farther the emperor's reach. Why not make some war fortune together? The king, whose name was Yan Jiuxiao, was both pitiful and useless, lacking any ambition. Of course, this couldn't really be blamed on him. Coconut Island country was merely a small nation surviving on water, floating alone not far from the vast territory of Ming Dynasty. One day, a legendary tornado might blow and wipe the country out. As the ruler of the nation, his life was worse off compared to a local wealthy landowner in the neighboring Ming Dynasty. Even the palace hadn't been renovated for over a decade. The representatives from Jiaozhi Kingdom didn't need to spend much effort to persuade him; he agreed without hesitation. Greed had blinded him, leaving him with no choice.
Ming Kingdom was wealthy and possessed a strong army, while the emperor was young and ambitious. The outcome can be imagined.
This naval battle lasted less than a month, and the so-called "army of tigers and wolves" of the Jiaozhi Kingdom, as claimed by their envoys, was completely defeated. The hundred warships hastily constructed with the assistance of the Coconut Island Kingdom were either sunk or fell into enemy hands, and it ended with the death of General Zhan Lingfeng, the commanding general of the Coconut Island Kingdom.
In order to humiliate the defeated country, the three parties signed an unequal treaty, making Jiaozhi Country a dependent territory of Ming Dynasty. Henceforth, the annual tribute and audience became mandatory rituals. As for Coconut Island Country, being a vassal state, it enjoyed slightly better treatment than before. The young and lustful emperor of Ming Dynasty only accepted one princess from it and demanded the opening of a trading port to facilitate trade between the two countries.
Here, the checkpoint is set at this Yuelai Warehouse.
When the owner of the warehouse and his assistant first arrived in Coconut Island, they experienced countless cold glances from the people around them. Everyone treated them as if they were enemies. After all, they were seen as "invaders" who were naturally at a disadvantage. However, soon after, batches of young and old girls came forward, followed by batches of children and elderly people, and then batches of homemakers and strong men, all switching sides to show goodwill.
Here, we sell non-local delicacies that even the royal family of Coconut Island finds difficult to taste. Spicy jerky, exotic fruits and vegetables, we have everything. What can a small country with few people know? Even if they are priced high, they quickly become popular.
This place often operates overnight. In the coconut island country, all you can see is the sea, working during sunrise and resting during sunset. What can a small and sparse population in a boring island country hold on to? The nightlife on the island, which was initially uninteresting, soon added a new activity: group food hunting.
Twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the boss is still the same boss as before, but he has transformed from a youthful Clear Steed into a well-off middle-aged man. It seems that money is easily earned.
His business is becoming more and more stable, and he is spending less and less time on Coconut Island, only visiting once or twice a year.
By coincidence, this year, he encountered a strange event and met a peculiar person.
"Little girl, for the past half month, you have been coming in front of our warehouse every day to draw for a short while. What exactly are you drawing?"
The boss's smile can definitely be called kind and approachable, and he has always believed in being friendly to make money, especially towards such a young girl like you.
"S-Sorry, am I hindering your business?"
She raised her head, revealing a small and thin face, with a mix of innocence, confusion, and apology. However, her voice held no traces of immaturity.
