I believe that if it weren't for Ye Feng making up a lie in time, then the price of the old pirate would definitely not be more than two!

"What! 500 gold pounds! When Nightfeng heard the price quoted by the old pirate, he couldn't help but be subconsciously surprised. 35xs

Then he immediately said unceremoniously: "Since everyone knows the truth about this stone egg, how dare he sell it at such a high price!" ”

The old pirate smiled awkwardly and said, "Didn't I say just now, he is ready to deceive the people outside, so I advise you not to waste this unjust money in vain!" ”

"Alas!" Ye Feng deliberately sighed and said, "There's no way, it seems that I still can't help it!" After all, I don't want to end up with even a strange thing to collect, so I won't be able to pay for it in the end! ”

With that, he immediately took out a money bag, then counted out 500 gold pounds from the money bag and handed it to the old pirate, and then he took the stone egg out of the magic chest and placed it in the ape's hand.

Seeing that Ye Feng had paid 500 gold pounds neatly, the old pirate's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of chagrin, although Ye Feng didn't care, but the old pirate was also an old and refined guy.

Based on his years of experience, it can be seen that Ye Feng actually cares a lot about this stone egg, which means that even if he just quoted a high price of 700, 800 or even 1000 gold pounds, Ye Feng is likely to buy this stone egg.

That meant he had lost at least a few hundred pounds of gold, so how could this not annoy the old pirate!

It's a pity that now Ye Feng is one step ahead of others to take out 500 gold pounds to complete the transaction, so even if he wants to add money temporarily, it is impossible!

And the most important thing is that he had already given the price to death just now, so for the sake of the reputation of the organization, the price just now can only be lowered but not raised.

Therefore, at this time, the old pirate could only complete the deal with a wry smile.

At this time, Ye Feng also knew that he must have taken a big advantage, so he directly asked the bartender to bring out a glass of golden rum to the old pirate, and the price of a glass of golden rum was as high as 5 gold pounds a cup.

For the same price, it's enough to drink dozens of ordinary rums!

At this time, the old pirate's face softened a little.

Because this time it can be said that Nightfeng has picked up a big bargain, so he can't wait to go back to the Verl to check the stone egg.

But he immediately dismissed this idea, because it was obvious that it was telling others that the stone egg was a big problem, and probably of great value.

Then others can't help but think of the story told by the fisherman.

If that's the case, then it can't be ruled out that there may be forces that will play the idea of the night edge because of this.

While Nightfeng wasn't afraid of this, it would undoubtedly greatly weaken his forces, as dealing with enemies lurking in the shadows wasn't as easy as fighting them head-to-head with those standing in the open.

Therefore, although his heart was very eager to explore the stone egg at this time, now he had to show that it was not so urgent.

Thinking of this, after paying the gold pounds, Ye Feng didn't look at the stone egg that the sea ape was carrying, but signaled to the next pirate who came to apply.

As the old pirate drank delicious golden rum, he watched Nightfront interview one pirate after another without stopping, but in the midst of this, he didn't notice Nightfeng's eyes on the stone egg.

At this time, the old pirate couldn't help but think in his heart: It seems that Ye Feng really only wanted to complete the boss's task, so he spent a high price to buy this stone egg, it should not be that this stone egg hides a huge value!

Therefore, when the old pirate watched Yefeng start to interview the pirate for the fifth interview, he had already finished drinking the golden rum, and he would not continue to waste his time here.

With a glance from him, the Assassin standing behind him stepped forward and put the magic box in his hand. 35xs

A short time later, the old pirate got up and left the bar, and the Assassin man followed him out of the bar.

It wasn't until the figure of the old pirate disappeared into the shadow of the bar that Nightfeng's heart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, he did not immediately leave the bar because of the departure of the old pirate, after all, it was still a bit risky to do so.

So he continued to patiently interview the wandering pirates who came to apply.

As time passed, Ye Feng couldn't help but really shift his mind to the interview, but to his disappointment, as he interviewed more than a dozen wandering pirates, he still didn't meet the pirates who met his requirements.

The minutes ticked by, and in the blink of an eye he had been at the bar for almost two hours.

At this time, he also felt in his heart that he should be almost pretending, so he prepared to end the recruitment work and return to the Verl.

But just then, just as Nightfront was ready to return to the Verm.

The last man who came to apply for the job stopped his original intention of getting up and leaving in an instant.

This is a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, the clothes he wears all indicate his recent predicament, and the stubble on his sparse beard shows that he deliberately shaved his beard for this application.

And according to Ye Feng's observations, he found that this man's muscles were not developed, and he did not have the aggressive temperament of a pirate.

So he guessed that either the man was just a liar or a man with real skills!

Thinking of this, he blurted out and asked, "What is your name and what kind of skills do you have?" ”

The man smiled and bowed his head, "My name is Aeneco, and I am a chef. ”

"Cook?" Yefeng looked the man up and down curiously, and to be honest, he really didn't see that this man could be a chef.

Then he couldn't help but think, as if there was no official cook on his ship?

Because of this, the food he ate on previous voyages was at best barely palatable, after all, you can't expect the average pirate to make any delicious food.

Thinking of this, Nightfeng was already planning to take this man, at least for the rest of the day, he would be able to eat delicious food during the long voyage.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, you've passed the interview, but we're going to set sail early tomorrow morning, so if you're going to give you anything, you'll be done today." ”

"By the way, if I find that the food you made is not up to par after setting sail, then don't blame me for being unkind!"

The man smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the taste of the food, but in terms of salary, I ask for no less than 300 gold pounds in a year, and this time you have to pay me a year's salary in advance, which is 300 gold pounds!" ”

"What! No less than 300 gold pounds in a year! And now you have to advance your salary for a year! ”

Ye Feng was instantly stunned when he heard the man's request, you know, at that time, the purchasing power of gold pounds was quite strong, and the monthly living expenses of a family of three were only a few gold pounds.

Therefore, if calculated in this way, a normal adult's annual salary is only a few tens of gold pounds, and at most it will not exceed a hundred gold pounds.

Even if a chef is a little less expensive than the average profession, the salary is unlikely to be so much higher.

After all, the salary of 300 gold pounds is almost 5 times that of the average occupation, and this is calculated according to the minimum.

Facing the man's lion mouth, Ye Feng said angrily and funny: "I don't know if I heard it wrong or you said it wrong, pay a salary of no less than 300 gold pounds within a year." ”

Looking at Ye Feng's sneering eyes, the man said indifferently: "Yes, I didn't say it wrong, you didn't hear it wrong, that is, pay a salary of at least 300 gold pounds within a year!" ”

"Huh!" Ye Fengpi said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of ability you have, you dare to ask for such a high salary?" ”

The man didn't explain, but took out a package from his bosom and placed it on the table in front of Yefeng.

It can be clearly seen that although the material of this package is not very new, it has been washed very cleanly.

Ye Feng opened the package curiously, what he didn't expect was that inside the package was actually a piece of gray rice ball, which gave people the feeling that it had been left out for a long time and then moldy.

Suspiciously, he picked up the rice ball and took a small bite, and as soon as he bit it, his face changed instantly.

Seeing Ye Feng's face change drastically, the sea ape standing beside him subconsciously prepared to teach the man a lesson.

However, the long fist thrown by the sea ape was stopped by a palm in mid-air.

And the owner of this palm is the night feng whose face has changed drastically.

The sea ape looked at Ye Feng strangely, but was surprised to find that Ye Feng had actually eaten up the gray rice ball in such a short period of time!

After swallowing the last grain of rice, Ye Feng said decisively: "I agreed to your conditions!" ”

As he spoke, he immediately took out 300 gold pounds from his body and handed them to the man, and these 300 gold pounds were the last bit of wealth left on his body.

The reason why Ye Feng so happily agreed to such an outrageous salary for the man was because of the gray rice ball with a bad face just now.

What he really didn't expect was that the taste of this gray rice ball was beyond his imagination, not to mention the taste of the rice ball, but the rice itself was very elastic like a pinball.

When you bite into your mouth, it feels like he ate popping candy when he was a child, which is very exciting and refreshing!
