Chapter 172: This side is very extravagant

"Sir, you're here to get these...... Well, what does feces do? ”

Lux was very curious about the old man getting this filthy feces. Finally, he couldn't help but come over and asked.

The old man looked up at Lux and his lieutenant, but he didn't stop moving, and was pulling the feces out of the chimney and pouring it into the cart's large 'keg'.

"You're new here, aren't you?"

The old man asked rhetorically, and Lux and his lieutenant nodded.

"Yes, we just came to Manhattan. I'm going to buy some goods from here and sell them back. ”

The old man smiled: "The goods here in Manhattan are very popular, you are very discerning." If I had been younger, I would have found a ship to work as a sailor, but now that I'm too old, I still prefer a more stable life. ”

The old man seemed to be very satisfied with his current life.

"My job is to collect the excrement and deliver it to a large area nearby. I've heard that the nobles here want to do something with this excrement, but I don't understand. ”

The old man's subordinates kept talking, but they talked to Lux.

What's the use of collecting manure, it's useless at all.

Lux couldn't figure out what this dirty stuff could do.

"There are a lot of people like me in Manhattan. We are all older people, we can't do the work on the dock, and we can't be soldiers, we don't have the capital to do business, and we don't have the skills to do it. The old man was very talkative, and he didn't have anything to do now anyway, so he opened his chatterbox.

"Fortunately, the old men in Manhattan took pity on us and didn't want us to starve to death this winter, so they arranged such a job for us, although it was a little dirty, but it was not tiring at all, and the income was not bad."

Talking about this, the old man's face smiled a little more, and at the same time, his eyes also radiated the longing for a happy life, as well as confidence.

It stands to reason that at his age on the European continent, he is basically a person waiting for death.

It is simply impossible to see such information feedback in his face and eyes.

What kind of magic does this Manhattan city have to make people like this?

However, Lux knew that this change would be good for the people.

Who doesn't want to be able to live a better and happier life, before everyone just couldn't see hope.

But in Manhattan, no matter who you are, as long as you are willing to do things and endure hardship, then it is not a luxury to have a happy and prosperous life.

It's just that Lux doesn't know anything about it.

During the chat, the old man had already filled the 'barrel' behind his carriage, and he smiled apologetically at Lux and his lieutenant: "I'm sorry, I'm leaving now." I hope you all the best and earn your own wealth, and here in Manhattan you can do everything with your efforts. ”

Then the old man drove the carriage away.

Lux learned a lot from talking to the elderly, first of all, the city of Manhattan has invested heavily in sanitation and has a very good plan.

The excrement of people will be collected and hoarded in Manhattan, although I don't know what they are for.

At the same time, in the city of Manhattan, a number of underground sewage systems have been excavated specifically for sewage discharge.

This system, not to mention in Europe, has never even heard of it.

The sewage can be directly discharged into the sea not far away through the underground sewerage system. In this way, the residents who live here do not have to dump their sewage directly on the streets.

At the same time, manure collectors like this old man go from house to house every morning to collect their excrement for the evening, because every household here has an iron thing called a spittoon.

This kind of 'spittoon' is specially designed for everyone's convenience and convenience at night.

I have to say that here in Manhattan, many things are very thoughtful.

With his deputy, Lux turned and left the toilet.

From a small point of view, you can see the general direction, the city of Manhattan is definitely not the kind of natives they think they are, but their civilization system is much higher than that of Europe.

At the very least, it can be seen from the neatness of the streets, the attire of the people, and the appearance of the jīng god. Therefore, Lukes's desire to attack the Port of Manhattan and plunder wealth has slowly faded a lot.

Of course, the main reason for his mind to fade was the genetic soldiers on the street. He and his deputy had been walking around for so long, and they had already seen quite a few soldiers.

It can be seen that Manhattan's military power is very strong, and it is somewhat unrealistic for them to want to plunder the port of Manhattan.

And before entering the Port of Manhattan, the coastal defense batteries along the coast can deal a blow to them and put the Port of Manhattan into a state of jǐng ring.

At the same time, Lukes weighed it, and he personally didn't think that they, the pirates, would be able to defeat these sharp Manhattan soldiers.

Lukes' eyes were poisonous, and he saw the strength of the Manhattan Gene Soldiers, so he put away some unnecessary thoughts.

It's just that he doesn't know what to do, and after putting away this thought, he himself can be regarded as avoiding the gaze of death.

"Captain, I'm a little hungry. Let's go get something to eat, I see a lot of food here. The deputy suggested to Lux at this time, and the 'gurgling' sound kept coming from the deputy's belly.

hehe

Lux smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's go see what's delicious." ”

After dismissing the idea of attacking the Port of Manhattan, Lux felt relaxed. Anyway, there are still a lot of fat sheep, and they can't attack the port of Manhattan, so let's plunder other merchant ships.

Anyway, you can do business without capital, and you don't have to attack the port.

The two returned to the bustling market, and after some selection, they went to the ramen shop and sat down.

The reason is simple, the fragrance wafting from the ramen shop is so appealing.

When Lux and his lieutenant smelled it, they followed the aroma of beef bone broth.

Of course, there are also many shops in the surrounding area, each with its own fragrance. But the smell of the barbecue at that time, Lux and his deputy, were clearly not interested in meat now.

"Excuse me, what is this?"

After Lux and his deputy sat down, they looked at the young boss who was stretching his noodles with some curiosity and asked.

Not very authentic English, after all, Lukes is Dutch.

However, the young boss understood, and then he replied, "Ramen." ”

These people with dúlì personality genes cultivated by Zhao Hongyu have also lived in this world for more than a year. So they also learned a lot of Indian and, if necessary, English.

It's just some regular conversation, but it's pretty good, isn't it?

Ramen?

Lux and the deputy looked at each other, neither of them knowing what it was, because they had never eaten it.

However, looking at the big blond and blue-eyed fat man next to him, eating 'Siri Snoring', it seemed to be delicious, so Lux thought he might as well give it a try.

"Then, please give me two copies in the style of this gentleman."

The young boss smiled and nodded in response.

Then, he began to stretch his face in front of Lux, showing off his skills that stunned Lux.

Not only Lukes, but also the European and Indian diners next to him would look up from time to time or look directly at the boss stretching the noodles.

In their opinion, this boss is simply amazing.

This kind of soft flour can actually do this in his hands.

They can't do it themselves anyway.

An Indian girl who looked to be only twelve years old smiled and held a jug in front of Lux and his deputy, and then put down two more teacups.

Then she told them in very broken English that the tea was free to drink.

This kind of tea is not a good tea, it is basically the end of the tea leaves.

But the way this way of buying and selling is very shocking for many people.

Especially for the Europeans.

What is tea!

It's an absolutely lucrative commodity, and even the end of the tea can be sold for money, isn't it?

But here in Manhattan, the owner of this noodle restaurant actually uses it to entertain customers for free, which is simply ...... Add me some boiling water......

Goo-goo-goo

The big fat man sitting next to Lux picked up the sea bowl and drank the ramen soup clean, then put the empty bowl on the countertop and wiped it on his forehead.

Wow, I'm sweating from my food, so it can be seen that this guy is very comfortable eating.

"Boss, your craft is getting better and better, I'm completely captured by you now, and I can't sleep at all without eating a bowl every day." After the fat man finished eating, he did not leave, but sat down and began to chat with the young boss.

The boss didn't mean to drive people away, but responded happily to this fat man.

"Ha Luha, what is this. When the adults plant peppers and other crops next year, I'll have more ingredients here, and it will be even more delicious. ”

The young man's face showed a strong self-confidence, which showed that he was very confident in his craft.

"Oh, could it be better? I can't imagine it. The fat man looked a little incredulous, he couldn't believe the young boss's words, because in his opinion such ramen was already very delicious.

"You'll know next year." , the young man did not say much.

"Captain, this kind of noodles is extravagant. I've seen a lot of spices, and I've counted more than a dozen. While Lux was listening to the two chattering, his deputy swallowed his saliva and whispered something to him. (To be continued.)
