Chapter 71 Businessmen who have gone and returned
At noon, the door of the Hongye Restaurant was closed and had not officially opened yet, but a lot of people had arrived.
There were civilians, merchants, and some strangely dressed explorers.
"You said, what food does this restaurant in the city lord sell?"
Someone whispered to each other in a low voice.
"It should be black bread, but it must be black bread without crumbs!"
There was no restaurant in Hongye City before, only a shabby tavern. In addition to selling some beer, the tavern also sells some black bread. The beer is mixed with water and the bread is mixed with wood chips. Everyone is used to it.
But the city lord probably won’t use black bread mixed with wood chips, right?
"I think it shouldn't be bread. I heard from a relative of mine who was a guard in Hongye City that the food the city lord and the others ate was different from ours. As for the specifics, I don't know, but it must be food unique to the nobles, so I think this restaurant is probably related to the food of the city lord and the city lord!"
Listening to the words of this resident of Hongye City, someone exclaimed:
"Is it white bread?"
"Well, what is white bread? There is also white bread?"
"White bread is a food that only nobles can eat, it..."
These residents began to communicate.
They may have lived in Hongye City all their lives and have never seen the outside world. The food every day is black bread, and they may occasionally eat some meat, but have never seen anything else.
In addition to these residents, the merchants also formed a circle and whispered in a low voice.
If Zhang Feng was here, he would be able to recognize that these people were the merchants who attended the auction a few days ago.
"Valun, I didn't expect you to return to Red Leaf City?"
Terry was a little surprised.
At that time, Valen bought a lot of things at the auction. He thought Valen would go to the capital to operate his things! He didn't expect to meet again in Hongye City.
"Haha, Terry, have you returned to Red Leaf City too!"
Valen said with a smile.
Terry's eyes flashed a little, and when the two of them looked at each other, a spark appeared.
They are not stupid. If they can buy fine salt and white sugar once in Hongye City, they will definitely buy it for the second time. Even if they can't buy it now, there will definitely be a chance in the future.
If you can stay in Hongye City forever, you will have the advantage over other businessmen!
After these days of operation, they have taken some of the products they have taken from Hongye City.
Being willing to come to this place where birds don't poop again when winter is approaching means that the gold coins they earn are definitely not decimals.
Both of them are businessmen of equal strength, so they are naturally in a competitive relationship. To be honest, they are not very willing to meet each other.
But since you have encountered it, you can't pretend not to see it. Maybe you may still cooperate in the future. After all, you are a businessman and interests are paramount.
“Each one another!”
After the two of them were covered in a cold smell of gunpowder, Terry whispered:
"What food do you think the city lord will sell in this restaurant this time? Will it be..."
What was Terry saying about Valen's Natural Way? He shook his head and said:
"It shouldn't be. You know how precious the food we ate before was. Now this restaurant is under the banner of free trials from civil servants in Hongye City, and can eat enough. If this is the kind of food we ate last time, I'm afraid the city lord will not be able to bear it!"
Last time, Zhang Feng held an afternoon tea before the auction started. The taste of the afternoon tea is still unforgettable for those who have eaten it.
They really wanted the food sold in this restaurant to be of afternoon tea, but they thought it was a bit impossible.
After all, in their opinion, Zhang Feng's afternoon tea costs a lot, and even if he is a very wealthy noble, he may have unlimited supply.
The two of them thought about it and could not guess what medicine was sold in Zhang Feng's gourd, but there was no need to worry too much. When the restaurant door opened later, they would naturally know.
"But when it comes to this civil servant, it's really an enviable profession!"
Terry shook his head with a sigh.
"Who said no!"
Valen also deeply felt that the civil servants in Hongye City are not a single profession, but a collective name for some professions that work for the city lord's mansion or the city hall.
Although Hongye City is remote, the salary for being a civil servant here is very high, especially compared with other cities under the Sunset Mountains, it is several times or even dozens of times higher!
And this is just a salary. For today's welfare, civil servants eat for free at Hongye Restaurant today. Even if they eat black bread, it would be a huge profit!
"However, although I am envious, I still have my own business to do, so it is naturally impossible to apply for a civil servant. However, I am still very interested in the identity of "official resident of Hongye City", but unfortunately..."
When Terry heard Valen's words, he shook his head helplessly.
"I didn't expect that the city lord would not allow outsiders to join Hongye City for the time being. The household registration card of Hongye City is so strict. In addition, if outsiders want to live in Hongye City, they still need to apply for a temporary residence permit. With this temporary residence permit, I always feel as if I am inferior..."
"Hey, so do I. I thought I was the only one who thought this way!"
"But today, this is not just an idea, but the reality is like this! I haven't seen that permanent residents of Hongye City can buy it at half price? We outsiders can only go to the full price!"
Valen smiled with a little self-deprecating smile. It was not that he was reluctant to let go of these copper coins, but that this different treatment made him very unhappy. Valen decided that he would have to establish a permanent residence in Red Leaf City during this period!
...
While everyone was chatting, a strong fragrance slowly floated out of the crack of the door.
"It smells so good!"
"What does this taste like? Is it meat?"
"I haven't eaten pork and venison, but none of them have such a fragrance..."
"First of all, we can rule out rye bread!"
"I am a civil servant, and I can't wait to eat enough today!"
“…”
"Hey? Can we outsiders only buy it at the full price?"
An explorer wearing strange clothes and drooling clothes asked.
"Of course, you are not a resident of our Hongye City, you can only buy it at the original price!"
Someone answered him with his chest straightened.
Originally, the indigenous residents of Hongye City thought that buying at half price was just a save money.
But now they don’t think so anymore. This is not only about saving money, but also about showing off in front of outsiders!
Boom ~
The restaurant gate finally opened wide.
A fresh and fragrant smell came from the restaurant instantly.
Guru~
Everyone subconsciously swallowed.
