Chapter 29 Instant Noodles and Ham Sausages
"What are those soldiers cooking, it smells so good!"
"Is it food?"
"Could it be the newly researched food by the chef in the City Lord's Mansion?"
“……”
Ignoring the crowd of arguments, Marlowe saw that it was almost cooked, and said to Baker and the soldiers:
"Bring your own bowls, don't blame me for who can't eat slowly!"
Hearing Marlowe's words, the soldiers were a little incredulous, but Baker took out two clay bowls out of nowhere and placed them in front of Marlowe with a clatter.
Only then did the soldiers react, this was really prepared for them by the Knight of Marlowe!
In a moment, the eight bowls were neatly placed, and eight soldiers squatted by the cauldron, rubbing their hands excitedly.
All the soldiers stared at the brightly colored instant noodles in the pot.
Although it was a bit troublesome to use a spoon to serve the noodles, the control of Marlowe's fingers was relatively strong, and soon all eight bowls were filled with about the same amount of instant noodles.
Marlowe also swallowed quietly, although he expected that this food called instant noodles would definitely taste good, but he didn't expect that this food had not yet been eaten, and the taste alone could kill people.
But after all, he was a person who had seen the "big scene", and Marlowe was still not in a hurry on the surface, he took out the ham sausage, peeled off the skin, and personally placed it in each soldier's bowl.
"Gollum~"
Several swallowing sounds sounded, not only from the soldiers, but also from the curious crowd of onlookers.
Marlowe first tasted the greasy soup.
"The taste? Is there spices in it? Fragrant! ”
Marlowe was a little surprised, knowing that the value of spices was comparable to gold, and he hadn't eaten spices for a long time!
After another bite of noodles, Marlowe's eyes widened instantly.
"Delicious!"
Baker couldn't wait, and after seeing Marlowe move, he quickly picked up the bowl, but the spoon was not very good enough to pick up the noodles, so he just held the bowl and pestled it into his mouth.
"Delicious! Delicious! ”
When the soldiers saw that the two knights had finally started eating, they didn't care about what image they picked up and ate, and they were already hungry.
"Wow! This is the first time I've eaten this taste in my life! It's delicious! ”
"It smells so good! Is it spiced? ”
"I was lucky enough to see spices once, and I don't think those spices have this fragrance!"
"Woo woo ~ so delicious! The smell reminds me of my deceased mother! ”
"Aren't you an orphan?"
“……”
Seeing these knights and soldiers so exaggerated, the workers on the dock who were loading the goods, and even the merchants in command, couldn't help it.
"What is that, it smells too good!"
"It's so delicious! It's better than white bread. Cut - Gollum~"
"That's it, I don't think it's as delicious as fresh venison - Gollum~"
"It looks so good! No, I mean it smells good......"
The people on the dock stopped what they were doing and kept wiping their saliva.
Originally, they were a little hungry, and then they were stimulated by Marlowe like this, which is not to be greedy.
At this time, a slightly chubby businessman dressed in gray-brown clothes came to Marlowe and the others with a smile on his face, and said in a respectful tone:
"Lord Marlowe, may I ask you what is the name of the food you eat? I haven't seen it in all my years in business. ”
The merchant was very polite, and Marlowe naturally had nothing to say, he said as he ate.
"It's called instant noodles and ham sausage. Purr~"
Listening to the words of the Marlowe Knight, the merchant and the crowd of onlookers on the docks and even the soldiers were surprised, it was the first time they had seen such a strange name.
The businessman's throat rolled, and it was unbearable to watch the other party eat such delicious food in front of him. So he asked cautiously:
"So, where can I buy this delicacy?"
"Buy? Then you probably can't buy it, this is the exclusive delicacy of our City Lord's Mansion. ”
Marlowe shrugged with regret.
Hearing Marlowe say that he couldn't buy it, not only the businessman, but even the onlookers on the dock were a little disappointed.
The merchant gritted his teeth, and his tone was a little flattering.
"Lord Marlowe, would you like to sell it, the price is not a problem."
"Oh, Valen, you want to buy? Unfortunately, this is not for sale. ”
Naturally, the conversation between the two could not be hidden, most of them heard it, and some people exclaimed.
"Valen! The largest timber merchant in Red Leaf City! He even stayed in Momiji City? ”
"It turned out to be a big businessman, but only a big businessman can say something like that......
Some people are envious.
"Huh? Not for sale? ”
Valen was a little surprised, he thought that he had spoken, this must be a safe business, but he didn't expect the Marlow knight to refuse.
"Yes."
Hearing the other party's affirmation, Wan Lun frowned.
You must know that in this world, gold coins can buy almost everything, and whatever territory and title you want are clearly priced, if you can't buy it, you can only say that the price you pay is not high enough.
But Marlowe refused without even listening to the price, which was a bit unacceptable.
Valen can become a famous big businessman today, relying on something, relying on eyesight, that is, the ability to seize opportunities.
When he saw this novel food today, in addition to satisfying his appetite, his first thought was to transport it to other cities and sell it at a high price.
After all, he has traveled north and south for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen food that makes people salivate just by its taste.
Unfortunately, Marlowe didn't give him a chance, but he didn't give up.
"Lord Knight, I'm willing to pay a gold coin to buy your bag of instant noodles!"
Hearing Valen's offer, the melon-eating masses here suddenly became calm.
"Oh my God, a gold coin! This is the most expensive food in Momiji City right now! ”
"I can earn about one gold coin a year, and one gold coin can buy as much rye bread as possible!"
"If I had a gold coin, I would have left Momiji City a long time ago......"
“……”
Marlowe was unmoved, even though the other party opened a gold coin.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, but that's not for me to decide."
Warren heard the difference in Marlowe's words, and Marlowe said that he couldn't decide, that is, someone could, so Valen asked again:
"What if you can get this delicacy?"
"This is our internal supply from the City Lord's Mansion, as long as you join the City Lord's Mansion, you will have the opportunity to obtain, for example, become a soldier of Red Leaf City."
Only then did Marlowe understand why Zhang Feng asked him to do this.
"What, there is such a good thing as being a soldier? Get a chance to get food worth one gold coin! ”
"I want to join the army!"
"But I don't know how the salary of the soldiers of Red Leaf City is, I remember that it seemed to be very average before......"
"It doesn't matter what the salary is, I just love food!"
"If I could get this, I'd sell it! A gold coin! ”
“……”
When these people heard the words of the Marlowe knight, they were very moved.
Valen also showed a contemplative look, he was going to leave tomorrow, and he was going to postpone it for now, and he might have a good harvest if he stayed.
Marlowe glanced at them, it seemed that his publicity effect was not bad, and he was still thinking about how to complete the task, but he didn't expect an assist.
"Then Knight Marlowe, how can I meet the city lord?"
"In a few days, the Lord of the City will hold an event, and if you don't leave, I think you should have a chance to meet it."
