Otherworld Management Manual

"Other World Management Manual ()"

"Escape? Can't you stay in Hongye City?"

A group of businessmen looked at each other in blank dismay.

We... Are we talking about the same Hongye City?

If it is possible, they don't want to leave Hongye City, it's not that they have no money, they have to come out to make money!

Facing the ridicule from his former colleagues, Marlowe did not speak. He felt that there was nothing to say. To exaggerate, the two of them were no longer from the same world, and he didn't need to spend more time with each other.

Seeing that Marlowe didn't speak, Marcie thought that he had acquiesced, and spoke again with some pride:

"I said at the time that I asked you to leave with me. There was a care on the way. In the end, you had to assist the wife of the city owner who didn't know the details. Now, it's okay, and you don't want to leave in the end! Look at us, thanks The City Lord can appreciate it, and being entrusted with important tasks in Yinpine City is much better than being in Hongye City!"

Marlowe still didn't speak, but Shu Daqiang was not happy.

He knows whether Hongye City is good or not, and to a certain extent, the orcs also contributed a lot to the construction of Hongye City.

Shu Daqiang said unconvinced:

"You're not in Hongye City, how do you know that Hongye City is not good? This place is better than Hongye City? Hehe, I really dare to speak up. Let's talk about it after you have been to Hongye City!"

When he said this, Marcie was not happy.

"I haven't been there? I was the mayor of Hongye City at the time! Just pretend, you were forced to leave Hongye City in a snowy day, so what is there to deny!"

"you--"

Shu Daqiang was about to refute, but was interrupted by Earl Longman.

"Okay, okay, I guess you must have some misunderstanding, but now that the food has been served, let's eat first, and we'll talk after we're done!"

Earl Longman was still smiling, like a peacemaker.

Shu Daqiang didn't say anything when he saw this, and Zhang Feng explained that he should try not to cause trouble outside, and if he encountered conflicts, he could tolerate it, even if he lost money and avoided disasters, it would be fine, as long as he reported the names of these people to Zhang Feng later.

As soon as Earl Langman finished speaking, a servant immediately stepped forward and placed the food in front of everyone.

Looking at the delicious food in front of her, Marcy licked her lips.

It has to be said that a big city is a big city, and it is not comparable to Hongye City, a remote town that is not shown on the map. Just look at the food for entertaining guests.

A banquet of this scale has not been held for a long time since winter came.

Under normal circumstances, banquets in other worlds are divided into meals.

There is a similar amount of food in front of everyone. Of course, if there is not enough food, you can ask the host of the banquet for it.

It is the highest compliment to the host of a banquet to eat cleanly of the food he has prepared.

Perhaps considering that Marlowe and the others had come from afar, the food they prepared this time was of many types, and the amount of food in front of everyone was also very large.

After all the dishes were served, Earl Langman said with a smile:

"Everyone is welcome. Although you are free to eat, we may not have many other things in Yinpine City, but there is still a lot of food. I guess you have never eaten many delicacies. If there is not enough food, you can ask the servants to add more!"

After Earl Langman finished speaking, Marlowe and the others immediately expressed gratitude:

"Thank you Earl for your hospitality!"

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your hospitality."

"..."

However, listening to these voices of thanks, Langman always felt that these people were a little weak. Could it be that they haven't had a good rest yet?

With so many delicacies, even if you doze off, you have to fly away!

Although he didn't quite understand what happened to them, Earl Langman didn't care too much. He took the first two knives and cut open a plate of boiled meat in salt water in front of him.

Seeing that Earl Langman made a move, his retainers immediately started, as if someone was robbing them.

Marcie couldn't wait to cut open a black pudding, which is a black pudding processed from pig blood, meat, fat, oats, bread, etc.

Although it doesn't look very good, the taste is very suitable for Marcie's taste, and she has almost no chance to eat this kind of delicacy in Red Leaf City.

"It's delicious! I think the black pudding from Lord Earl's house is the best food in Silverpine City! No, it's the best food in the entire Baker Kingdom!"

Marcie was generous with her compliments.

"I like this viscera pie better, soak it in green bean sugar, this taste, after eating it, I will never forget it!"

The former knight of Hongye City spoke.

Others also agreed one after another. After all, it was rare to have a meal with the city lord, so they naturally wanted to say good things, and it was really delicious!

"Haha, as long as everyone likes it, but I myself prefer these boiled meat in salt water. You don't know, the salt I used this time is the refined salt bought from Wangdu! It has no smell and is as white as snow! This is what I paid a lot of money for, and I only bought it with shame!"

Hearing Earl Longman's words, the eyes of his retainers instantly lit up.

They have heard the legend about refined salt a long time ago. This is a kind of salt that only appeared this year. It is said that the output is extremely rare. There may be a little bit in a hundred salt mines!

This kind of refined salt is only available in the royal capital, and it is exclusively used by the royal family. They have always been curious about what the food made from this refined salt will look like, but because of their identities, they naturally have no chance to taste it.

But I didn't expect that the Earl actually bought these fine salts, and through these outsiders, the Earl generously gave them a taste!

This is simply a great honor!

Marcy didn't bother to eat the black pudding anymore, she quickly cut off a piece of fat meat, then carefully used the tip of a knife to pick up the fat meat and put it into her mouth.

"Hmm! It's delicious, it seems to be really different, it doesn't have the astringent taste like before!"

Marcie's eyes lit up, she didn't know if it was because of psychological effects, but she actually thought this piece of boiled meat in salt water was more delicious than black pudding!

"Yes, I also think this boiled meat in salt water is delicious!"

"good to eat……"

"..."

"Eh? Why don't you eat it?"

Suddenly, Earl Longman was a little surprised to see that none of Marlowe and the others did anything.

"Everyone, don't be restrained, just eat, if it's not enough for me, there's more here!"

He thought these people were embarrassed, so he spoke boldly.

All the businessmen from Red Leaf City looked at me, I looked at you, there was no way, Lord Earl said, eat!

It's just - looking at the food on the table, it's really hard to put your mouth down!

Those black puddings are long and crooked, they look like poop, especially these black puddings are not cut open, they are exactly the same!

Most of the white boiled meat in salt water was fat, with a lot of blood foam floating on it, and a faint fishy smell came from the soup pot.

And the animal offal pie exuding a strong fishy smell, and the green and yellow green bean soup with a strange smell...

The only one that sells better is the vanilla chicken, but this is only relatively speaking. After all, this pale and pale chicken looks very bad, especially since there are many grapes in its stomach, it looks like it has no appetite at all.

In the end it was Marlowe who ate first.

He cut a small piece of boiled meat in salt water and put it in his mouth with a blank expression.

It's not that he can't eat these things at all, but it's hard for him to accept them after he's used to eating things from Hongye City.

In particular, they had breakfast in the morning. For Earl Longman and the others, this meal might be the first meal of the day, but for Marlowe and the others, they ate delicious food from Red Leaf City in the morning. Can't eat this food anymore.

Just like Annie.

She has lived in Hongye City for such a long time, and she has long been used to everything in Hongye City, especially in terms of food.

Annie's appetite is not large. After eating some biscuits in the morning, she is not hungry at all. Now, after seeing these unsightly and unpalatable foods, she instantly lost her appetite.

She looked at Abei pitifully, and Abei gave her a helpless look.

As for other people, they are similar, they can eat it, but it tastes like chewing wax.

In order to avoid embarrassing Earl Longman, everyone pinched their noses and stuffed it directly into their mouths regardless of the smell.

Soon, Earl Longman and his vassals finished eating the food in front of them. He waved his hand and swallowed his saliva. The servant hurried up, cleared the table, and brought the food again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Earl Longman was about to say something, but he saw that the people in Red Leaf City on the opposite side had a lot of food left on the table, and even a lot of food remained untouched, and they just ate it symbolically A few mouthfuls.

This made Earl Longman's face a little stiff.

Following Earl Longman's gaze, his retainers naturally also noticed the other party's situation, not understanding what was going on.

Don't eat such delicious food in front of you?

Could it be because of Marcie and the others?

Marcie looked a little unfriendly, she felt that these people were purely embarrassing herself.

It is very rare for the city lord to treat guests to dinner, but they don't eat it. Take it on yourself!

After figuring this out, Marcie looked at Marlowe bitterly.

"It's really calculating. How come I didn't realize that Marlowe is so good at playing tricks!"

Although Marcie had seen through Marlowe's plot, she had no other solution at the moment, but she wasn't very worried, after all, no one was more proficient in eliminating the Earl's anger than her.

"What's the matter, everyone? Could it be that today's food doesn't suit everyone's appetite?"

Earl Longman smiled a little stiffly.

"No, the Earl's food is already delicious, but we've already had breakfast, so we're not hungry now."

Someone explained aloud, barely finding an excuse.

It's just that his excuse doesn't make Lord Earl feel relieved.

"Breakfast? Excuse my ignorance. I have never heard the word breakfast. Can this gentleman explain it to me?"

After Earl Longman finished speaking, their retainers didn't dare to eat any more. They could clearly feel that the Earl was a little unhappy.

"Uh……"

The businessman who spoke could also feel that Earl Langman's tone was not right, but the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't take them back, so he could only bite the bullet and explain:

"In Hongye City, we have three meals a day. The first meal is called breakfast after we wake up in the morning, the second meal at noon is called lunch, and the third meal in the afternoon is called It's called dinner... Oh yes, if you work overtime at night, you will have a supper, which is the fourth meal."

After the businessman finished speaking, Earl Longman seemed to be in a daze and didn't speak. His retainers were unwilling, and someone immediately accused the businessman.

"Nonsense, I have grown up so much, and I have never heard of eating four meals a day. Where is this custom? Are you lying to our Lord Earl!"

Earl Langman, who had been silent all this time, became even more ugly when he heard the word "lie" in this man's words.

What is most important to nobles? Of course it is face!

To be deceived in front of someone is simply not taking him seriously!

Earl Langman also thought that the other party was lying to him. After all, in the entire Kingdom of Buck, he had never heard of them eating four meals a day, not even in Buck's royal city.

Don't underestimate the two extra meals, which means doubling the food consumption in the city!

Taking his Silverpine City as an example, if the food consumption increased by 10%, it would be enough for him to pay attention to it, and if it increased by 20%, it would be enough for him to burn out.

What if food consumption increased by 30 percent?

Then he has reason to suspect that someone is keeping private soldiers in captivity!

This is no longer overwhelmed, this is a threat to his position!

So Earl Longman didn't believe the businessman's words.

Not to mention whether they have enough money to maintain the doubled expenses, but the local city lord will definitely not allow it. After all, a city's food reserves are limited, especially in winter.

If this happens, it may cause food prices to rise, and then these people find that the gold coins in their pockets are not enough to support them to eat four meals a day, so they can only give up this idea and buy food With fewer people, the food will gradually become normal. They can only obediently eat two meals a day.

And in this situation, the city lord will most likely intervene. After all, for the city lord, he doesn't need his people to live well. He just needs them to pay taxes obediently and not make trouble.

Of course, the premise of all this is on a large scale. If you are an individual, you will eat ten or eight meals a day, and no one will care about you, and it is even less likely that you will shake the price of food.

Earl Langman looked at the businessman sternly. As an earl, his eyes were still very oppressive.

It's just that this businessman from Hongye City feels aggrieved by the retainer's rebuttal and the city lord's stern gaze.

"How could I, how dare I deceive the great Earl? In Hongye City, I really ate at least three meals a day. This is the death order issued by the Lord of Hongye City, the kind that everyone must obey! No If you obey, you will be fined!"

Seeing the businessman's frightened expression, Earl Langman felt that he didn't look like he was talking, but how could this be possible! Or did the city lord personally order it? Does he think his city is too stable!

"Hehe, can you ask this gentleman, what did you eat for breakfast? Even if you have really eaten this kind of breakfast, is it better than the feast prepared by the Earl? This is not because you ignored the Earl. reason!"

Although Marcie was talking to the businessman, her eyes looked at Marlowe from time to time, which was quite provocative.

The reason why she targeted Marlowe so much was because they suffered a big loss after they left Hongye City!

At that time, they met a group of horse thieves. Although some of them were escorted by several knights, these knights were all new knights, and the opponent's horse thieves had several horse thieves no less powerful than the knights!

Both sides were a little apprehensive, but the horse thieves had a large number of people, and they were even more dominant. In the end, they had no choice but to spend their money to avoid disaster, and gave the horse thieves all the property they took away from Hongye City, thus avoiding a big battle.

She always felt that if there were two knights with explosive combat power, Marlowe and Baker, it would definitely not have been like this, and maybe they could even rob horse thieves in reverse!

But there is no if, otherwise, if they have this money, they can go to a better place to develop, such as the capital.

Of course, it's not bad now, they still live quite comfortably in Silverpine City, and Earl Longman treats them, especially her, well, and it's not in vain for her to work so hard on the bed.

Regarding Marcie's question about breakfast, the businessman looked at Marlowe.

Marlowe is the team leader this time, and he has to listen to Marlowe in everything. He also knows that these breakfasts are exclusively owned by Hongye City, so he doesn't know if it's appropriate to say it now.

After thinking for a while, Marlowe nodded slightly.

Anyway, Mr. Zhang Feng has always wanted to open up the reputation of Hongye City. It would be good if he could start from here. Although his goal is the capital, after all, there is Annie in the team, and he will definitely get some care in the capital, but Zhang Feng let He acted according to circumstances, and those merchants in Silverpine City would definitely tell everything about Hongye City. Instead of hiding it like this, they might as well speak out on their own initiative, and he didn't want to offend the Earl.

After getting Marlowe's consent, the businessman said with some embarrassment:

"I ate relatively simple in the morning. I only ate a dozen or so biscuits..."

The low-priced biscuits produced in Hongye City are relatively affordable, one piece is almost the size of a palm, and it is also very thick. More than ten pieces are enough to fill you up.

It's not that he can't afford other things. If he was in Hongye City, he could eat these relatively affordable things freely, but isn't it because he left Hongye City? It's money!

Hearing the businessman's words, Earl Langman's retainers all looked at each other, biscuit? What is this?

It doesn't sound like a random name, but none of them have heard of it!

How about asking him?

no no no! Can't ask! Doesn't this seem to be very short-sighted!

This is not only the thinking of the retainers, even Earl Langman thinks so. Although he is curious in his heart, his aristocratic face does not allow him to ask an unknown small businessman for advice.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be in embarrassment, Earl Langman suddenly laughed twice.

"Looking at these friends who have come from afar, they are not used to the delicious food in our Silver Pine City. Anyway, I won't force them, come here!"

He clapped his hands, and the servants cleared the table at his command.

Seeing these delicacies leaving them, those retainers hated people like Marlowe to death.

How rare it is to be able to be stingy, oh no, the great Earl treats guests to dinner. They have just tasted the delicious food, and then they are withdrawn, which makes people crazy.

Annie looked at the unfriendly eyes of these people, and quietly tugged at the corner of Abe's clothes.

"Abe, we won't be in danger..."

Facing Annie's worry, Abe shook his head slightly.

"No, don't worry, the knights here are no match for me and Marlowe."

After hearing Abe's words, Annie was relieved, and Abe said it was okay if there was no problem.

But now she misses Hongye City a little bit. There are so many delicious foods in Hongye City. It’s not like what it is now. Because it’s just a meal, I feel like I’m about to fight.

As for the small problem of "they lost face to Earl Longman because they didn't eat it", Anne naturally ignored it. After all, it was so bad, no one would eat it!

After these so-called delicacies were withdrawn, Earl Langman still smiled, as if what happened just now had no effect on him at all.

He smiled and said:

"This banquet was hosted by me. It is my responsibility if you don't eat well. Since the food is not to your taste, then everyone likes fine wine. We have several kinds of fine wine in Silverpine City. I believe you must have never drank them. Come on." , Serve the wine!"

The servants brought wine glasses and jugs.

"Thank you, Lord Earl!"

"Thank you, Lord Earl!"

"..."

Marlowe and the others had no choice but to accept it silently. Although they feel that the wine here is definitely not as good as that in Hongye City, but now this is Earl Langman's territory, in order not to hurt the other party's face, they can only let it go.

But this also makes people really understand the true meaning of the phrase "aristocrat with good face".

This sentence was vividly reflected in Earl Longman.

But in fact, Earl Longman is quite helpless.

Because the soldiers reported yesterday that a group of caravans came to Yinpine City, and this group of caravans came from Hongye City.

As an earl, Langman's knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people. He knows this remote town in the northernmost part of the map of Buck Kingdom. After all, everyone is in the north, and some of his retainers are also from Hongye City. .

Speaking of these retainers, his favorite is Marcie. Although she is not the most beautiful or the best figure in Silverpine City, she is the most skilled and the best, and she can let herself enjoy flying every time. a feeling of.

As for this retainer, although he did not announce his relationship, it was no secret among the upper echelons of Silverpine City. He was very kind to Marcie, and everyone saw it.

For example, he was surprised by the news that "the caravan from Red Leaf City came to Silver Pine City in a snowy day", so he shared it with Marcie, who didn't believe it at first.

This season, few people dare to go outside. But there is no need for the other party to lie to them. After all, if they really want to lie, it is better to say that they are from Hongye City.

Then there is only one possibility left——

The other party is fleeing!

Hongye City has no more supplies, if they don't leave, they will die!

Thinking that Hongye City was finally coming to an end, Marcie still had some morbid pleasure in her heart. After all, Marlowe and the others were still in Hongye City.

After hearing the news, Marcie wanted to meet these people. It would be even better if she could find some acquaintances inside. She wanted to show those who hadn't left how good he was after Marcie left!

That's why Marcie blew a pillow breeze in Earl Longman's ear, and that's how today's banquet came about.

Langman naturally liked Marcie very much, so he agreed to her request, and speaking of it, he did not hold a banquet anymore, so he would take this opportunity to get in touch with his retainers.

But what I didn't expect was that Earl Langman was humiliated by these people at the banquet!

His mind is not big in the first place, and with so many family members here, he was humiliated in front of his subordinates, how can this be tolerated? I definitely can't bear it, otherwise where is my majesty!

Since it is a matter of face, let's find face again.

The usual way of drinking in the foreign world is similar to that in taverns. You can drink it with meals, or anytime, anywhere. It’s easy to take out the wine. You don’t need any side dishes, just drink it hard, because their alcohol content is very low. Don't worry about getting drunk.

Seeing that the wine was already in place, Langman showed a confident smile.

Yesterday, his subordinates honored him with several jugs of fine wine. According to his subordinates, he spent a lot of money to buy them from a down-and-out nobleman. He was reluctant to drink it himself, but he really had no money, so he had to sell it cheaply.

After the subordinate took a sip, he was immediately amazed, he had never tasted such a delicious wine!

So he made a quick decision, bought the jug of wine at a high price, and dedicated it to the Earl.

After Earl Langman tasted it, he naturally praised his subordinates, and directly raised him three levels!

In order to earn back the face this time, Earl Longman can be said to have spent a lot of money!

"Everyone, this is a good wine passed down from my ancestors. Not to mention you, I rarely drink it myself! Today is also taking this opportunity to invite everyone to taste it together."

Hearing Earl Langman's words, not only the retainers, but even the merchants from Hongye City widened their eyes.

There is no businessman who does not like to drink, unless he is allergic.

If these fine wines are really as miraculous as Earl Longman said, they must have a taste!

The wine and food cannot be missed.

"Thank you, Lord Earl!"

Thanks again everyone.

"It is my honor to taste the wine passed down from the Earl's ancestors!"

Earl Langman's retainers naturally thanked him too, but their words were flattering.

"By the way, I have to explain in advance before drinking that this wine is different from the dark beer or spiced red wine you usually drink. Drunk, if you don't drink well, please drink in moderation."

Hearing Earl Longman's words, his retainers were a little excited. This wine sounds very powerful, and it is worthy of being the fine wine passed down by the Earl's ancestors!

For a while, all kinds of compliments came out of their mouths, which made Earl Longman a little bit elated.

As for Marcie, it seemed as if her tail was up to the sky at this moment.

Because Earl Longman shared this wine with her last night!

With regard to the characteristics and drinking methods of this wine, she thinks that she is definitely second only to the Earl among these people!

Marcie rolled her eyes, and she thought of a good idea!

"Let me tell you, you have to drink like this, otherwise..."

Marcie quietly whispered beside her current colleagues, after all, this wine is too irritating, if you don't pay attention to it for the first time, you may make a fool of yourself.

Earl Longman naturally noticed Marcie's little move, but he didn't stop it, and even had a mentality of watching the show.

After all, when he drank for the first time yesterday, his performance was not very elegant.

Although these wines are expensive, if spending some gold coins can buy back face, he must be willing.

As for Marlowe and his party, after hearing Earl Longman's introduction about his "wine handed down from ancestors", they were all a little confused.

This introduction...why is it so familiar?

If you just look at it literally, isn't this the specialty "baijiu" of Hongye City?

But it shouldn't be possible, after all, it was passed down by Earl Langman from his ancestors, maybe it's just a coincidence, after all, there is a big difference between wine and wine, it's hard to express it just by words, it needs to be savored carefully.

But when the servant picked up the jug and poured the transparent, faintly scented liquor into the cup, Malu and his group were completely stunned.

This familiar color, familiar taste...

"It's not—uh!"

Annie saw Baijiu in front of her just talking, but Abe suddenly covered her mouth.

But now everyone is very interested in this "ancestral wine", and no one cares about Annie's unspoken words.

"Abe, what are you doing! What 'ancestral wine'? This is clearly Zhang Feng's baijiu!"

Annie expressed her dissatisfaction with Abe in a low voice.

This is the wine brewed by Zhang Feng, she doesn't want to be impersonated!

"Shh-"

Abe first hissed, and when she saw that no one was looking over, she whispered in Annie's ear:

"Miss, as long as you know it, please don't say it out. Please show the Earl a face, otherwise if he becomes angry, we may have some troubles."

"Oh~ I see!"

Annie is not stupid, she immediately understood what it meant and nodded immediately.

"I understand, I won't say it!"

Everyone is not stupid, although they dare to be 100% sure that this is the baijiu produced in Hongye City. After all, they have all drank a lot, but the Earl has been bragging for so long just now, if I expose him , wouldn't it be difficult to get out of this castle?

I understand, I don't say it!

Marcie, the former knight of Red Leaf City, those retainers, and even Earl Longman all stared at Marlowe and his party in a vague way. They had already reached an agreement tacitly. The other meaning is to see the other party make a fool of himself!

Although it sounds naive to say it, it is not a trivial matter when it comes to nobles and city lords!

After all, for these nobles, especially the big nobles, when there is no threat of war, they don't have to worry about food and drink, they have no natural enemies, and they don't lack anything. Relatively speaking, face is very valuable.

But what happened next was beyond their expectations.

I saw these people pick up the wine glass, first sniffed it lightly, and then took a small sip. Some frowned slightly, and some showed enjoyment. Although their expressions were different, they did not make a fool of themselves as Earl Longman expected. On the contrary, everything is so natural and elegant.

Marlowe closed his eyes slightly, and waited until the wine in his mouth burst open, and the rich aroma of the wine filled his mouth, and then he swallowed slowly, until all the aroma entered his stomach with the wine, and then he opened his eyes. open your eyes.

"Good wine!"

At the same time, he was also complaining mercilessly in his heart.

exactly the same! It was indeed Hongye City's baijiu, but it was a first-generation baijiu, and compared to the second-generation baijiu he carried, it was still a little bit weaker.

"Good wine!"

"Good wine!"

"..."

After Marlowe finished speaking, other merchants also applauded, and even Annie yelled for good wine with a blushing face.

She didn't drink much, just dipped her fingers and tasted a little bit, but this did not prevent her from saying "good wine".

It stands to reason that Earl Longman should be happy to receive the approval and praise of these Red Leaf City merchants. After all, this is his banquet, and to praise the wine is to praise him, but why does it feel a little weird?

Not only Earl Longman had this idea, but Marcie too.

The other party finally agreed, even praised, and Marcie could tell from their eyes that they were absolutely sincere, but why couldn't she be happy?

The other party drank, and the retainers of Earl Langman naturally no longer hesitated, they couldn't wait for a long time.

only--

"Ahem!"

"cough!"

"Uh-cough cough, bah!"

"..."

Although they have been told to take small sips, they have never drank it before. This white wine and beer are not the same thing at all.

In particular, there are still a few people who are confident in their drinking capacity and did not heed the warning. They just like the refreshing feeling of drinking heavily, and then it is a tragedy-they were so overwhelmed that they vomited it out!

Looking at the swaying and imageless retainers, and looking at the calm and elegant Red Leaf City businessman on the opposite side, Earl Longman finally understood why he was still unhappy when he heard the other party's praise.

Because they didn't make a fool of themselves, but their own people made a fool of themselves!

"No, didn't I tell you to drink more slowly! How could you embarrass the Earl in front of outsiders!"

Marcie whimpered softly.

"Ahem, we don't want to, but who knows that this wine is so strong, ahem, I haven't tasted the aroma, I just feel that my throat is hot... cough cough!"

The former knight of Hongye City was also very helpless.

Earl Langman's face was a bit ugly, he felt that these subordinates were too ashamed!

All of them are usually so good at bragging, but in the end, not to mention going to the battlefield, the last wine shop has become like this, and it is still in front of outsiders. This is a loss of face!

But fortunately, I don't know if the wine is too good to drink. Marlowe and the others didn't look at Earl Longman, but just focused on drinking.

Earl Langman felt that his gaffe expression should not have been seen by the other party, which was a blessing in disguise.

"Hee hee, look at this earl, his face is so ugly, it's like a pig's liver!"

Annie lowered her head, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.

"Miss, please keep your voice down."

Abei is very helpless, this lady is actually very good in other aspects, but her smile is a bit low, didn't you see that we all have serious faces!

"It's okay, it's okay, they can't see me!"

Anne spoke softly.

Abbe shook his head helplessly.

By the time these retainers had all recovered from their vigor, Marlowe and the others had already finished drinking the wine in their glasses, and the white wine in Anne's glass had also been drunk by Abeday.

After all, out of respect for the host of the banquet, it's better not to leave any.

"My lord, thank you for your hospitality today! These fine wines are one of the best wines I have ever drank in my life!"

Marlowe stood up and saluted the knight in a very standard manner.

He was not lying, this baijiu was indeed one of the best wines he had ever drank, but he drank it a long time ago.

As Marlowe's words fell, these merchants also got up, and they all expressed their sincere admiration for the wine and Earl Longman. Their tone was sincere and their faces were solemn, which seemed to be from the heart.

Earl Longman's complexion finally improved a lot.

Although a lot of fine wine and gold coins were consumed today, although today was a bit unpleasant at the beginning, but overall, it is still good!

He has no shortage of gold coins or anything.

Earl Longman, who was respected and praised, smiled heartily and said:

"Since that's the case, then I won't keep you guys. I wish you all the best in Silverpine City!"

"Thank you Earl, I will take my leave!"

"Farewell!"

The crowd saluted Earl Longman, and then left in an orderly manner under the leadership of the servants.

"you--"

After seeing the other party leave, Earl Longman was about to teach his subordinates a lesson, but Marlowe left and returned.

Earl Longman quickly changed his face, and smiled kindly:

"What's the matter with Marlowe Knight?"

"It's like this. We just drank such a precious wine from the Earl. We feel a little bit sorry, so we are going to give back a small gift to the Earl. Please don't dislike the Earl!"

Marlowe took out a small long box very seriously. The engraving patterns on the box are very exquisite, and it looks like a masterpiece at first sight.

"What are you feeling sorry for... Cough cough, since it's your wish, I won't hold it against you!"

Langman originally wanted to be polite, but when he saw the exquisite box, he lost his restraint instantly. With his noble experience, he could tell at a glance that this little gift was not simple!

After the servant took the gift, Marlowe said:

"Then I'll take my leave—by the way, my lord, I think it's better for you to watch this little gift alone!"

Without waiting for Earl Longman to speak, he left immediately.

"Hehe, what a weirdo!"

Earl Longman didn't care about Marlowe's words. Since it was a gift from someone else, and it looked very precious, it must be opened in a crowded place to show off. What's the point of hiding alone?

Everyone was also very curious about this gift and looked at Earl Langman eagerly.

Earl Langman didn't have any ink marks, so he opened it directly:

"Let me see, what gift has this guest from afar prepared? Huh?"

After the wooden box is opened, it is a delicate glass bottle,

Not to mention anything else, the small wooden box and glazed bottle alone are worth a lot of gold coins!

Earl Langman happily picked up the big glass bottle, and everyone gathered around to watch, only to see a few lines written on it——

Hongye liquor (limited edition in gift box)

Place of Origin: No. 1 Brewery in Hongye City

Price: 888 gold coins

"Hongye liquor?"

Seeing the above words, everyone was a little puzzled.

Langman didn't quite understand, Baijiu? He hasn't heard of it?

Curiosity drove him to open the bottle cap directly.

Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine came out!

This is the same scent as the "Earl Longman's ancestral wine" just now!

No, this scent is stronger!

Earl Langman just took a sip, and he had the urge to drink.

But his face became ugly.

He's not stupid, he finally understood why Knight Marlowe said that he was going to open it alone!

Everyone is not stupid either.

Earl Longman's ancestral wine?

No, Hongye liquor!

"Come on! Call me the captain of the North City Gate!"

Earl Langman was furious, and at the same time, he was crazily complaining.

"Who made this wine! Damn me..."

...

In a hidden corner of Silverpine City, Eugene and Benson lit oil lamps and counted a bag full of gold coins.

"Do you think we are cheating like this?"

Eugene was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, brother, it's fine if you can make money! Others don't know the origin of these wines. Besides, with our strength, as long as we don't sell the wines to Lord Earl, even if the other party finally finds out, we can't do it in Silverpine City." What to us!"

"makes sense……"

...

Outside Hongye City.

A golden steam car ignores the snow.

"Ah Choo!"

In the car, Zhang Feng, who had just taken off his clothes, sneezed.

"Master? Are you catching a cold?"

Erica, who was only wearing small clothes, spoke with some awkwardness.

"I don't know who's talking about me... I know I've caught a cold, so hurry up and warm me up!"

Zhang Feng said with a smirk.

"Yes, Master~"

Erica bit her lip lightly, walked to Zhang Feng with a blushing face, put her arms around Zhang Feng's waist, and buried her head in his chest. She could clearly feel the heartbeats of the two of them.

Although she had expected such a day for a long time, she never expected to be in such an environment.

Outside is the whistling wind and snow, and inside is the garden full of spring.
