Charles was wrong, there were still chickens and ducks to eat in the city, and the tax by the leg did not involve food.

Andorra has more than 10,000 people, most of them artisans and their families, and the rest are merchants, who have to transport large quantities of food from outside the city every day.

The city is divided into four irregular parts like the word "field", of which the north part of the city is adjacent to the lake in the east of the workshop area, the west side is the residential area, the south side of the city is the commercial area, the east side is mainly foreign trade merchants because of its proximity to the wharf, and the shops in the west are more oriented to the people in the city, and the castle of the Grand Duke of Andorra is located in the middle of the city.

As soon as he entered the city, Brando took Charles to a poultry market in the southwest, where the villages in the basin with chickens and ducks would sell their poultry, and large customers could also come here to discuss wholesale with the people of each village.

There is a bulletin board in the market, which is like a task wall of the adventurers' union, where buyers pay the market and put up a sign that says who is buying in large quantities, and then wait for the seller to come to the door to negotiate.

Brando paid directly for a sign that read, "New.asxs. orphanage buys fresh eggs, five hundred eggs a day, long-term".

500 eggs looks like a lot, but in fact, there are more than 300 cartons of eggs sold in Charles's hometown, and 500 eggs is only one and a half boxes.

Based on a production cycle of 30 days, theoretically 15,000 eggs need to be stored, and the orphanage now only has a place to put so much production equipment, and there is no place to put more of them.

At this time, an old man with a loud voice shouted from behind: "Brando, you just got married and you have to buy so many eggs to replenish your body." ”

Brando, apparently familiar with the man, replied, "Old pig's head, do you still have any eggs to sell me?"

Charles and the others were no longer here, and after parking the carriage at the market, they scattered and moved separately.

They have already done a good job of dividing the work, Charles is in charge of investigating the shops suitable for opening restaurants, Ellie and Healy are investigating the residential area, Diana is investigating the business area, and Artoria is investigating the workshop area.

The central square of the city is on the east side of the castle, and the main road that divides the industrial and residential areas to the north, the main road that separates the industrial square area and the commercial area to the east and leads to the pier, and the main road that passes through the commercial area in the south converges here in the square, surrounded by the core business district.

Charles looked around the square, there was a theater, there were luxury stores, they couldn't open a shop here at the moment, and it would take many years for his apprentice to make the food ready for the noble lord's table.

So he walked towards the east, in his opinion, the business district is a good choice to open a store, here are all foreign businessmen, eat and drink naturally under the restaurant to solve.

Moreover, the businessmen are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the businessmen at the bottom are not well-off, so they can naturally save money.

It's just that there are a lot of people who think like this, and the main road in the business district is already full of restaurants, and it is already noon, and the smell of rice is beginning to waft into the street.

Charles kept walking and then came to the port area.

There are a lot of shirtless porters here in the port, they are sitting in the open space eating lunch at this time, most of them are eating dry food such as rice balls, some people can still see rice bran in the rice balls, at most they are carrying bamboo tubes filled with water, and the smell of rice in the restaurant next to them has nothing to do with them.

Then a young man saw that he was dressed in a splendid garment, and came up and asked, "Do you want to unload or load?"

Then a strong man in fairly clean clothes came running, and he kicked the young man away, and then took off the whip hanging from his waist and went up to give him a whip, and when he raised his hand, a tattoo of a winged fish appeared under his sleeve.

He cursed at the same time, "Little bastard, forgot the rules?"

The young man was more or less beaten to the point that his skin was torn apart and his blood was dripping with blood.

When the strong man stopped, two more men came and dragged the young man to the porters, punching and kicking him.

The porters watched numbly as the young man's wails grew quieter and quieter, without the slightest movement, and those who were close stepped back a little.

At last the young man was beaten so that he could not even scream, so the two men dragged him aside and threw him on the side of the road, leaving a blinding blood mark on the ground.

After the two men left, a middle-aged porter immediately ran over and ran away with the dying young man on his back.

At this time, the strong man turned around and said to Charles respectfully, "This lord, do you want to get on or off the ship?"

Charles asked quietly, "I have a batch of treasures to be handled lightly to get off the ship in a few days, are your hands and feet stable enough?"

"Steady, steady!" the strong man nodded like a chicken eating rice, "In this city, the people of our Flying Fish Club have the most stable hands and feet, and put a slow glass of water on the box, and it will not spill no matter how you move it." ”

Charles thought to himself that he had encountered the local underworld gangs, which monopolized the porter market at the docks, and both cargo owners and porters could only load and unload their goods. And the young man just now is obviously new to the new here, and he doesn't understand the rules yet.

At this time, someone came up behind Charles and said, "This honorable lord, don't be deceived by those dead fish, who on the dock doesn't know that they dropped a box of things yesterday." ”

Charles turned around and saw that it was from across the road, and the tattoo on his hand was a colored snake, which seemed to be from another gang.

The strong man who called himself the Colored Snake Club kept revealing each other's shortcomings there, and the people of the Flying Fish Club were so angry that they were ready to do it.

Charles narrowed his eyes and said, "In four days, I will have four boats coming, and the two of you will each move one first, and whoever moves the other two boats will be moved by whom." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, this kind of treatment method that doesn't listen to you and only looks at what you do, behaves like a child of a big family who has come out to train.

As far as these children are concerned, they just need someone to do a good job, regardless of which gang or faction they are.

It's just that as soon as Charles turned around, the whole person was confused.

Just now, his attention was drawn to the porter on the other side of the port, and he didn't notice the sign of the restaurant on the side of the port.

The restaurant has four floors and occupies a large area, making it the tallest building in the neighborhood.

Most importantly, the restaurant's sign reads "Autumn Leaves" in the middle, the palm-sized Maccaden family maple leaf coat of arms in the left center, and a silver daffodil in the lower right corner.

Charles knew that the family had a lot of investments in various places, but after he took over the family, he basically didn't manage the family's business, it was all Ah Fu in charge, and then Aunt Coriander supervised, so he really didn't know what industries were outside.

He walked into the restaurant, sat down in an empty seat, and took out a booklet from the storage ring, which was a list of the family's investments abroad, which he had not yet read.

Charles flipped through a few pages and found a description of the restaurant.

The restaurant was bought by Charles' father twenty years ago, and then managed by the Silver Narcissus Chamber of Commerce as a broker, and the profits were divided between the Maccaden family at 70 percent, the Archduke of Andorra with 20 percent, and the Silver Narcissus Chamber with 10 percent.

At this time, the waiter of the restaurant came over with a wooden menu card, and then threw it on the table with a "pop", saying, "See for yourself what you want to eat." ”

Charles looked up at the waitress and almost wanted to stand up and curse.

He deliberately wore a silk fabric dress today, how to look at how high-profile and luxurious, there is no reason for the other party to have such a bad attitude.

Charles didn't say anything, he got up and turned around and walked towards the stairs, then went straight to the fourth floor, where the office area of the restaurant was.

The door to the manager's office was closed, and there was a gasp from inside.

Charles kicked the door open, and then saw a young woman lying on the desk, her skirt lifted to her back, and an attacking middle-aged fat man standing behind her.

"You go on. Charles said with a cold face, "Don't worry about me, I'm not in a hurry." ”

He just stood next to the door with his hands crossed, the ring in his hand facing the desk.
