Chapter Twenty-Eight: Entering the Continent for the First Time

A continent is located in the northern hemisphere, the southernmost point is close to the equator, the eastern and southern parts of the continent are all primeval forests, accounting for one-third of the total area of the continent, and the five major empires and churches are in the western and northern parts of the continent.

The war seems to have been far away from this continent for many years, the Sun Cult in the center is the center of power on the continent, the churches are located in every corner of the five empires, the knight legion is the force of the church, the blood-red two-horned horse, the silver spear, and the golden armor are the dreams of every young warrior in the continent.

The first place I arrived at was a medium-sized city by the sea of the Shenlong Empire, with a population of more than one million, the living conditions of the common people seemed to be good, and the city's business was quite prosperous. Gold and silver coins were also used on this continent, as well as copper coins of the smallest denomination, one silver coin for a hundred copper coins, one gold coin worth ten silver coins, as well as gold bars and silver bars in private circulation, as well as state-issued gold and silver ingots, with the country's stamp, fixed shape, and weight.

I took Guodong and Guoliang two guards into the second floor of a restaurant, sat down by the window along the street, and Xiao Er immediately stepped forward to greet: "Three guests, what kind of food do you need?" ”

"What's the best banquet here?" I asked.

"Our banquet is divided into three grades, five silver coins for the low grade, eight silver coins for the middle grade, and ten silver coins for the high grade, and those with special requirements need to be reserved." Xiao Er introduced.

"Then bring the best wine in your restaurant to the highest standard." I said lightly.

After a while, eight delicate cold dishes were served, and Xiao Er opened a quaint porcelain bottle and filled me with a glass: "My lord, please try it, this is the best sky blue wine in our store." ”

I took a sip from my glass and almost threw it out, "What's the smell?" It's so unpleasant. I frowned and said, "Little Er, is there any better wine?" ”

"My lord, this is the best wine in the city, and it's worth a gold coin! Why don't you get a cup of tea and a drink? ”

"Okay, bring some of each, let me taste it."

After a while, Xiao Er brought a kind of tea and two kinds of juice, followed by a fat middle-aged man, who came up and said: "This adult, I am the shopkeeper of the restaurant, I heard Xiao Er say that you don't like Azure wine, then try the tea and juice made by our store." ”

I tasted them one by one and nodded my head and said, "It tastes good and refreshing." ”

"My lord, these two juices are made from wild fruits in the forest, and they are carefully brewed with ancestral techniques, which is one of the specialties of our restaurant, so if you like it, you can drink more." The shopkeeper said.

At this time, the hot dishes came up, there were seafood, vegetables, most of them were meat dishes, I stopped tasting each dish, and motioned to the shopkeeper to sit down, and commented: "These meat dishes are game, the fishy smell is very strong, with a little bitterness, it should be the reason for salt, the fishy smell of seafood is not handled well, and the vegetables are so-so." As I spoke, I took out a small bag of MSG and a small bag of sugar from the space ring, added a little sugar and MSG to a meat dish with a small spoon, and tossed it.

"Shopkeeper, you try this dish." I said.

The shopkeeper carefully tasted it, and an incomparable umami taste made him lose his way, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and stammer: "My lord, please give me some guidance." ”

"This is called white sugar, and the sweetness in fruit juice is the same, only not much of this can be soaked in water to drink, put in some to increase the taste when cooking, these crystals are called monosodium glutamate, put in before the dish is put in the pot, you can achieve the taste you just tasted." I said.

"That's amazing, my lord, can you tell me the price of these two things?"

"This monosodium glutamate is one hundred gold coins per catty, and sugar is ten gold coins per catty, this time I only have these with me, it is considered to be given to you, if you want, I will bring some next time."

"Okay, I'll order 100 catties of MSG and 200 catties of sugar, my lord, when will the goods arrive?"

"Let's take a few days, don't worry, I still have a kind of wine here, you can taste it." I took out a half-catty bottle of forty-degree liquor and filled a glass to the shopkeeper, this wine is made from wheat, which is an ordinary liquor in my hometown, also known as wheat roast, which is much better than any sky blue wine here. Looking at the shopkeeper's expression after drinking, I knew the answer.

"My lord, how do you sell this wine?"

"Ten gold coins a catty, each jar of wine is twenty catties, how much do you want?"

"Fifty altars, this is all my property."

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver it in seven days, you prepare the gold coins, and tell me which is the largest chamber of commerce and auction house in the city?"

"Lauren Auction House and the Heya Chamber of Commerce, this Heya Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest chambers of commerce in the empire, and it has a good reputation."

Came out of the restaurant, asked for directions, and walked forward slowly······
