Chapter 71 The Merchants Who Went and Returned

At noon, the entrance of Hongye Restaurant was closed, and it hadn't officially opened yet, but a lot of people had already arrived.

There are civilians, there are merchants, and there are some strangely dressed explorers.

"Tell me, what kind of food does this restaurant, Lord City Master, sell?"

Someone whispered to each other.

"It should be black bread, but it must be black bread without crumbs!"

Red Leaf City used to have no restaurants, only a dilapidated tavern. Besides selling some beer, the tavern also sold some black bread. The beer was mixed with water, and the bread was also mixed with sawdust. Everyone took it for granted.

But the city lord shouldn't use black bread mixed with sawdust, right?

"I don't think it should be bread. I heard from a relative of mine who works as a guard in Hongye City that the food the city lord eats is different from ours. As for the specific difference, I don't know, but it must be unique to the nobles. Food, so I think this restaurant is probably related to the food of Lord Santo!"

Listening to the words of the Hongye City resident, someone exclaimed:

"Is it white bread?"

"Uh, what is white bread? There's still 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 never seen the outside world. Their daily food is black bread, and they may occasionally eat some meat, but they have never seen anything else.

In addition to these residents, those merchants also formed a circle, whispering softly.

If Zhang Feng was here, he would be able to recognize that these people were the businessmen who participated in the auction a few days ago.

"Valen, I didn't expect you to return to Hongye City?"

Terry was a little surprised.

At the beginning, Varen bought a lot of things at the auction, and he thought that Varen would go to the capital to manage his things! I didn't expect to meet again in Hongye City.

"Haha, Terry, haven't you returned to Hongye City too!"

Warren said with a smile.

Terry's eyes flickered a little, and when the two looked at each other, there was even a spark.

They are not stupid, if they can buy refined salt and white sugar in Hongye City once, they will definitely be able to buy it a second time, even if they can't buy it now, they will definitely have a chance in the future.

If he can stay in Hongye City all the time, he will have an advantage over other merchants!

After these few days of operations, they have already sold some of the products they bought from Hongye City.

They are willing to come to this place where no shit is coming again when winter is coming, which shows that the gold coins they earn are definitely not decimals.

Both of them are businessmen of comparable strength, so they are naturally in a competitive relationship. To be honest, they are not very willing to see each other.

But since we met, we can't pretend we didn't see it. We might cooperate in the future. After all, we are businessmen, and our interests come first.

"Each each other!"

After the two felt shabby with the smell of gunpowder, Terry whispered:

"What kind of food do you think the city owner will sell in this restaurant this time? Could it be..."

What was Warren's natural way Terry talking about? He shook his head and said:

"Probably not. You know how precious the food we ate before is. Now this restaurant is under the banner of free tasting for civil servants in Hongye City, and you can eat as much as you want. If this is what we ate last time Growing food, I am afraid that the city lord will not be able to bear it!"

The last time Zhang Feng held an afternoon tea before the auction started, the taste of the afternoon tea, those who had it, still can't forget it.

They really wanted the food sold in this restaurant to be at the level of afternoon tea, but they felt that it was impossible.

After all, in their view,

Zhang Feng's afternoon teas cost a lot, even if he is a very wealthy nobleman, he may have unlimited supply.

The two thought about it for a while, but they couldn't guess what kind of medicine was sold in Zhang Feng's gourd, but there was no need to be too entangled. When the restaurant door opened, they would naturally know.

"However, this civil servant is really an enviable profession!"

Terry shook his head sadly.

"Who says it's not!"

Warren also felt the same way. 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.

Regardless of the remote location of Hongye City, the salary of being a civil servant here is very high, especially compared with other cities under the Sunset Mountains, the salary is several times or even ten times higher!

And this is just a salary. Like today's benefits, civil servants eat for free at Hongye Restaurant today. Even if they all eat black bread, it's blood money!

"However, although I envy you, I still have my own business to do. Naturally, it is impossible to apply for a civil servant. However, I am still very interested in the status of 'official resident of Hongye City'. Unfortunately..."

Hearing Warren's words, Terry shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't expect that the city lord will not allow outsiders to join Hongye City for the time being. The household registration card of Hongye City is so strict, and foreigners need to apply for a temporary residence permit if they want to live in Hongye City. With this temporary residence permit, I always have a feeling The feeling of being humbled..."

"Hey, me too, I thought I was the only one with this idea!"

"But today, it's not just an idea, but reality! Didn't you see that the permanent residents of Hongye City can buy it at half price? We outsiders can only go for full price!"

Varen laughed at himself, it wasn't that he was reluctant to part with these copper coins, but this kind of differential treatment made him very unhappy. Varen decided that during this period of time, he must establish a permanent residence status in Hongye City !

...

While everyone was chatting, a strong fragrance slowly floated out from the crack in the door.

"smell good!"

"What does it taste like? Could it be meat?"

"It doesn't look like it. I've eaten both pork and venison, but none of them smell like this..."

"First of all, we can rule out the rye bag!"

"I'm a civil servant, I can't wait, I must eat enough today!"

"..."

"Hey? We outsiders can only buy at full price?"

asked an explorer in strange clothes and a halazi.

"Of course, your Excellency, you are not a resident of our Hongye City, so you can only buy it at the original price!"

Someone answered him with a straight chest.

Originally, the original residents of Hongye City thought that buying at half price was just to save money.

But now they don't think so, this is not only to save money, but also to show off capital in front of outsiders!

boom~

The restaurant door finally opened.

A fresh and fragrant smell spread from the restaurant in an instant.

grunt~

Everyone swallowed subconsciously.
