Chapter Seventy-One: The Merchants Who Went and Returned

At noon, the door of the Momiji Restaurant is closed, and it has not officially opened, but many people have already arrived.

There were civilians, merchants, and some strangely dressed explorers.

"You say, what kind of food does this restaurant of the city lord sell?"

Someone whispered to each other.

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

In the past, there was no restaurant in Red Leaf City, only a dilapidated tavern, which sold some black bread in addition to beer, beer mixed with water, and bread mixed with sawdust, which everyone is used to.

But the lord of the castle probably doesn't use black bread mixed with sawdust, does he?

"I don't think it's bread, I heard a relative of mine who was a guard in Red Leaf City say that the food they eat is different from ours, as for the specific difference, I don't know, but it must be a food unique to nobles, so I think this restaurant is probably related to the food of the city lord!"

Listening to the words of this resident of Red Leaf City, someone exclaimed:

"Is it white bread?"

"Uh, what's white bread? Bread and white? ”

"White bread is a food that only nobles can eat, it ......"

The residents began to communicate.

They may have lived in Red Leaf City all their lives, they have 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 at all.

In addition to these residents, the merchants also gathered in a circle and whispered quietly.

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

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

Terry was a little surprised.

At the beginning, Valen had auctioned a lot of things at the auction, and he thought that Valen would go to the royal capital to operate his things! I didn't expect to meet again in Red Leaf City.

"Haha, Terry, aren't you back in Red Leaf City too!"

Valen said with a smile.

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

They are not stupid, if they can buy refined salt and white sugar once in Red Leaf City, 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 you can stay in Momiji Castle all the time, you will have an advantage over other merchants!

After a few days of operation, they have already sold some of the goods that were auctioned from Red Leaf City.

The willingness to come to this place where birds don't again when winter is coming shows that the gold coins they earn are definitely not a decimal.

Both of them are businessmen of equal strength, so they are naturally in a competitive relationship, and to be honest, neither of them is very willing to see each other.

But since you have encountered it, you can't pretend not to see it, maybe you may cooperate later, after all, you are a businessman, and your interests are paramount.

"Each other, each other!"

After a chill with the smell of gunpowder, Terry whispered:

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

What was Terry talking about, he shook his head a little and said:

"It shouldn't be, you also know how precious the food we ate before was, now this restaurant is under the banner of free tasting by civil servants in Red Leaf City, and you can eat as much as you want, if this is the kind of food we ate last time, I'm afraid the city lord won't be able to bear it!"

Last time, Zhang Feng held an afternoon tea before the auction began, and the taste of that afternoon tea, the people who ate it, still can't forget it.

They really wanted the food in this restaurant to be at the level of afternoon tea, but they thought it was a little impossible.

After all, in their opinion, Zhang Feng's afternoon tea has a great cost, even if he is a very wealthy aristocrat, he may have unlimited supply.

The two thought about it for a while, and they couldn't guess what kind of medicine Zhang Feng was selling in the gourd, but they didn't have to worry too much, and when the restaurant door opened, they would naturally know.

"But speaking of this civil servant, it's really an enviable profession!"

Terry shook his head with some embarrassment.

"Who's to say it isn't!"

Valen also deeply agrees, the civil servants in Red Leaf City are not a separate profession, but a collective term for some professions that work for the city lord's mansion or city hall.

Don't look at the remote location of Red Leaf City, but the salary of being a civil servant here is very high, especially compared with some other cities under the Sunset Mountains, it is several times or even more than ten times higher!

And that's just the salary, like today's benefits, civil servants eat for free at the Momiji Restaurant today. Even if you eat black bread, it's blood!

"However, although I am envious, I still have my own business to do, so naturally it is impossible to apply for a civil servant, but I am still very interested in the identity of 'official resident of Red Leaf City', but unfortunately ......"

Hearing Valen's words, Terry also shook his head helplessly.

"I didn't expect that the city lord would not allow outsiders to join Red Leaf City for the time being, the household registration card of Red Leaf City is so strict, and outsiders who want to live in Red Leaf City also need to apply for a temporary residence permit, with this temporary residence permit, I always have a feeling of inferiority......"

"Hey, me too, I thought I was the only one who thought this way!"

"But today, it's not just an idea, it's a reality! Didn't you see that the permanent residents of Red Leaf City can buy it at half price, we outsiders can only go to the full price! ”

Valen smiled a little self-deprecatingly, it was not that he was reluctant to let go of these copper coins, but this way of treating him differently made him very unhappy, Valen decided that during this time, he must have the identity of a permanent residence in Red Leaf City!

……

While everyone was chatting, a strong aroma slowly wafted out from the crack in the door.

"It smells so good!"

"What does it smell like? Is it meat? ”

"I've eaten pork and venison, but none of them have such a flavor......"

"First of all, rye bales can be ruled out!"

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

“……”

"Huh? Can we outsiders only buy it at full price? ”

An explorer dressed in fancy dress with a harax asked.

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

Someone answered him with his chest puffed out.

Originally, these aborigines of Red Leaf City thought that buying at half price was just a simple way to save money.

But now they don't think like that, it's not just about saving money, it's also about showing off capital in front of outsiders!

Bang~

The doors of the restaurant finally opened.

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

Grunt~

Everyone subconsciously swallowed.
