Chapter 248: Gourmet

Chinese Orleans is getting closer and closer to what Green intended, with people coming and going, orderly, politics and business taking on a calm and peaceful look.

The number of citizens has increased to 30,000, and most of them stay in residential areas and go out of their homes, but rarely set foot in other places except the central square.

With the exception of those who are involved in the work, they need to come to their jobs, either in the central square, or in the Orleans district, or in the business district, and few people choose to go to Orleans industry unless they don't have a choice.

Because, comparatively speaking, the work in the industrial industry of Orleans is not so attractive, it may pay a lot, but it is farther away, and it will be more difficult and dangerous.

The exception is Meyer's fishing team, and some young people look forward to a life of fighting with the sea, even if their parents stop them.

This makes Maier very happy, and every time he recruits a new person, he sets up a large number of checkpoints in order to absorb the best talents.

Orleans industry is mainly occupied by New Zealanders, and now that New Zealand's population has increased to 60,000, which is twice as much as Orleans, it is no problem to support Orleans industry.

On top of that, some chambers of commerce need to recruit people on a temporary basis, and they will also select from New Zealand, which has the largest human resource reserve in the vicinity, and it is not enough to see it in the near future.

The population of Pigburgh is a little more complicated, and most of the people here are adventurers, wanderers, who don't like decent work, and many of them don't even lack money.

The reason why I came here was mainly because I heard about Green, and heard about Green's feat of destroying tens of thousands of orcs with a single stroke of magic, and I yearned for heroes.

But they didn't get a chance to see Green, and many of them couldn't even get into Orleans.

When Pigburg was built, the rules for entering Orleans became more stringent, and everyone except for the citizens of Orleans itself, who could travel unconditionally, had to get a voucher.

The Chamber of Commerce needs credentials, and so do the Wandering Knights.

Otherwise, with the current population around Orleans, Orleans simply can't bear it.

There are two kinds of certificates, one is long-term and the other is short-term, and the short-term difficulty is not very high, for example, as long as a wandering knight proves his official knighthood, he can obtain a short-term certificate.

With this certificate, he can enter the Orleans district, register for the assessment, and once the assessment is successful, he chooses to join the Orleans Knight Association, then he can easily obtain a long-term certificate.

If you make enough contributions to Orleans, you can become a citizen of Orleans and have unimpeded access.

Many adventurers don't care if they live in Orleans or not, but they value this status, and being able to travel through Orleans without hindrance is a privilege that gradually becomes an honor.

If you get it, you will be superior.

And a lot of interesting things are the first to appear in Orleans, and if they want to be the first to see them, they must obtain this status, otherwise they will be left behind.

Due to the different flow of people, the central square gradually formed three areas.

One is the East Square, close to the business district, where most of the people who stay are members of the Chamber of Commerce, and the other is the West Square, which is close to the residential area of Orleans, where the citizens of Orleans are mainly active.

In the middle is the central district, where not the citizens of Orleans, nor the members of the Chamber of Commerce, are located.

Normally, there are thousands of people in the central square, and one will come and another.

Such a scene made those people in Green Town very emotional, in just two years, Orleans has changed too much, to a degree that they can't even imagine.

They didn't even think they would live in a city.

So when Orleans was built, they were shocked once, but there were no people in Orleans at that time, and they were shocked mainly by the central square and the tall walls.

Now it's different, looking at such a huge flow of people, standing in the middle of Orleans, enjoying the treatment that the people of New Zealand and Pigburg do not enjoy, and living a good life.

Well-planned living quarters, spacious newly built houses, escorts to keep them safe, medical teams to treat them, and taverns and restaurants in the Orleans district.

All this is available only to the citizens of the Orléans district.

Compared to the people of New Zealand and Pigburg, they are so much happier, not to mention the stubborn residents of the nearby who stayed in the original town, it is simply a world of difference.

They don't even need to work, they can have food and clothing without worry.

And all of this was brought to them by Green.

Without Green, they wouldn't have changed anything.

Most people remembered this, looking at the City Lord's Mansion and looking at Grimm Castle, their eyes were full of reverence and gratitude, of course, there were some exceptions, but these were not important.

In this world, there are always some people who will not be grateful, as long as they don't show it, it's nothing, but if they show it and say something bad about Green, then the escort team will not hesitate to arrest them and expel them from Orleans.

Because of the news of the gastronomic conference, many outsiders came to Orleans, and a large part of them were chefs, because of the gastronomic conference, they were the main participants in the competition.

They also thought very clearly, with so many people attending the conference, they may not be able to get the first place and get the golden apple, but if they stand out in this conference and get Green's appreciation, it is also a very good opportunity.

It was not appreciated by Green, and there were so many people who came to watch this conference, and there were thousands of opportunities.

Some people made it to Orleans and stayed in hotels, while others who didn't make it to Orleans stayed in New Zealand or Pigburg to study their cooking.

Some even opened restaurants in New Zealand and Pigburgh to earn some income and improve their cooking skills in preparation for the next gastronomic conference.

The first people benefited from the fact that there were no good chefs in either city, but as the number of chefs grew, the competition became fierce.

Many chefs even need to deliver dishes to get reviews from diners.

In time, a new profession was born, the gourmet.

There are food wizards in this world, who can taste a lot of food and find it insufficient, but for ordinary humans, there is no such profession.

Usually the nobles had the final say.

But now, because of the food conference, an unprecedented number of chefs are crowded together, and they need diners to evaluate their dishes, which has led to the birth of the profession of gourmet.

The emergence of gourmets did not make the competition among chefs more intense, on the contrary, it eased the relationship between chefs.
