To tell the truth, after walking out of the administrative area and away from the garden-like aristocratic area, Ye Guyun immediately felt a burst of disappointment. The www.biquge.info of Pen & Fun & Pavilion is greeted by the real market of Crescent City, and the scene is just like the medieval European towns that you once saw in the movies - well, it is indeed a lot more prosperous in comparison.

It's just that Ye Guyun has seen a lot of prosperous scenes, not to mention the big cities on the modern earth, just from the ancient Celestial Empire as an example, ten miles from Yangzhou, a large number of Jiangdong cities, Jinling, Suzhou, Yuhang, Shaoxing....... Who can Crescent City beat?

Of course, it's not for nothing that the city is actually quite remarkable from a municipal point of view. The layout of roads, the division of blocks, and the planning of large blocks can be seen to be rationalized to the greatest extent, and every municipal facility is also pursued as much as possible, such as the beautifully shaped street lamp columns (hanging wind lanterns) erected on both sides of the main road, and the large number of solid and smooth pavements in the city with bluestone as the base, supplemented by lime and a material similar to cement, which makes Ye Guyun particularly satisfied.

And the most important thing that won Ye Guyun's favor the most was that Crescent City had a well-developed urban underground drainage system that was advanced in this era! This is very important! It has prevented the city from becoming a nightmare city full of dung and stinking like medieval Paris.

The three of them walked through the downtown area, except for Ye Guyun's particularly conspicuous "fancy dress" that attracted a lot of attention, there were no additional waves, and the people of this city, whether it was the local residents or the many passers-by (merchants, sailors, adventurers), seemed to lack knowledge of the two young masters of the Duke's Palace.

At first, Ye Guyun didn't understand what this meant, but after walking for a while, he understood. When he inquired about the two brothers because their destination was unknown, he was surprised to find that they were staring at each other.

"Shall we go to the Nondipo Market?" Frank suggested. It was the most (and perhaps only) place he knew most (or maybe only) in the city, and he frequented it because it was the largest and most comprehensive place to sell spell materials in Crescent City.

"Why don't you go to the Appis Auction House to the south, or the Central Gladiatorial Arena, or the Crescent City Castle (which is the pass of the two hills). "Lotchi has a lot more proposals, but they seem to be high-end venues.

"Who's going to that kind of place? You two don't know enough about your city, you don't even know some of the most popular places to go. Ye Guyun said disdainfully.

"I'm a mage, and I'm always learning and researching......." Frank replied weakly.

"I'm not a mage, but I have a lot of lessons....... Roche's answer was obviously not powerful either.

"Hehe, it turns out that the person with the most experience in life in the market is actually me, a person from another world......." Ye Guyun said helplessly, "Okay, next, change my decision." You guys, it's okay to ask for directions......."

set off again, and sure enough, it was Ye Guyun who took the lead and led the team forward. He was more like a tour guide than a guest, but the two brothers didn't feel embarrassed at all, but seemed very excited, like young students about to go out on an outing. And Ye Guyun, the tour guide, is not very competent, and he must not turn his head to communicate with the two in a low voice along the way, and accept their guidance, because he is not familiar with the words of this world, and he can't understand all kinds of strange and colorful signboards that are hung high or placed on the side of the road or simply engraved on the portal window.

This way of traveling is destined to be unfast, but it has a bit of the true taste of playing without being in a hurry. After walking through the downtown for a long time, I finally found a place that matched Ye Guyun's mind in a shallow and secluded alley at the corner of a square market.

The verdant vine tavern, the bottom wall of the alley near the left of the entrance is covered with verdant ivy, perhaps this is the origin of the tavern's name. It is close to the downtown area, but it is quiet, which is quite a bit of a quiet place, in this kind of place, it is easier to find the person you want to find and ask what you want to inquire about.

Pushing the door in, sure enough, at first glance, Ye Guyun found his goal. It was a group of rich, idle, and at least not in a bad mood. Looking around, the three of them walked towards the table with the largest number of people, the most miscellaneous clothes, and the most lively discussion.

"May we sit down?" asked Rocchi politely.

"Please. ”

Ye Guyun straightened his clothes, sat down very gently, and then smiled at the merchants who were looking at him curiously and were clearly from different places, took out the translation gem, pointed at himself, and pointed at Luo Qi.

Roach then explained, "My boss is from a very distant country, and this is his first time in Crescent City. He doesn't know the lingua franca of the mainland, but fortunately he has a precious treasure that can translate into various languages, so it doesn't hinder communication between them, but the process may be a little slow and inefficient, I hope you will forgive me, and don't be surprised. ”

"I see," said a tall, thin merchant who looked like he was from Rohia, "and we can guess about it, because your outfit is so special, brother." ”

Another chubby businessman cupped, "That's right. To be honest, brother, your dress is the thing that amazes me the most, I've almost traveled to the entire Western Continent, but I've never seen a costume like this. Simple, snug and beautiful, it should be popular in some areas....... Oh, I mean, your hometown may not be just very far away. ”

The two brothers were relatively familiar with this fat man, because they didn't need to think about anything else, just listening to the accent, they could know that he was a native of the country, and of course they would feel more cordial to their compatriots.

Another round-headed and round-headed Casticas merchant smiled and said, "I am very interested in the gem in my brother's hand, and a treasure of great practical value like this will surely be worth a great price, and if I have the opportunity, even if it costs most of my money, I am willing to buy it." It's a pity that the timing is wrong, I don't have so much money with me, and the shipload of goods I brought doesn't all belong to me....... However, even if it were all converted into cash, I am afraid that it would not be comparable to the value of this gem......."

The other businessmen at the table immediately coaxed, laughing, and scolding the round-headed man for being pretentious, while saying that he was going to give him a loan, and it seemed that this guy's popularity was quite good.

Ye Guyun looked at them laughing without saying a word, and after waiting for a while, he shook the gem in his hand, signaling that he had something to say, and everyone looked at him together. He sat seemingly casually, but he felt upright, obviously there was no special movement, but there was a polite and noble and reserved bearing. As the best people in the world, these businessmen's eyes suddenly lit up - it seems, this is a big man?

They couldn't help but look at the stranger again carefully:

"Apparently not. Look at the dress first, the clothes are naturally strange, the handiwork is excellent, and the materials are very particular, but you say that it is luxurious, but it is not, and I always feel that something is missing....... I don't understand. Look at the image again, oh, a look of vicissitudes and melancholy, well, it's handsome, and it makes people jealous....... That's not the point, the point is that, although his bearing is not conjured with the word downfall, he does look more like a down-and-out artist than a powerful man, a prince running out of some distant unknown kingdom? Oh, probably! To be able to hire two noble boys as attachés, his status must be noble, but it is very much in line with his temperament. 」

"Brother Tai's sincerity is touching, if it's something else, I don't mind transferring it at a discount. It's just this thing, sorry, I can't sell it. It's so important to me! Without it, I wouldn't be able to do even something as simple as ordering. Ye Guyun said with a smile, and when all his words fell, the meaning was accurately reflected in the subject's mind.

"That's true!" said the merchants, who were slightly stunned for a moment in order to translate the wonders of the gem, and then they answered.

"We definitely don't mean to force it. ”

"It's just a joke. ”

.......

Ye Guyun tapped lightly on the table and continued to say gently: "Speaking of meals, I'm really worried about this. Although the two of them had enjoyed many good things, they never delved into it. You know, people like me who travel far and wide always want to know more, and want to enjoy the local terroir and not just the food....... This tavern looks very good, and it looks like it's about to be dinner, so why don't you settle it here, I don't know if you have any recommendations? ”

"Haha, you're asking the right person. All of you here are experts in diet, and they will give you the best recommendations. I have to stress that the bill must be mine, though. ”

The round head laughed and threw out a generous one, and then immediately aroused a warm response from everyone.

"Smart checks out, we have to 'look at the face'. ”

"Order the most expensive ones. ”

"Stupid! On occasions like this, it's obvious to choose something exquisite, tasty, and stylish, not just expensive. We're entertaining guests, not stabbing them for the sake of Zaismat. ”

"Yes! I'll order a few things first....... Lamb chops from La Peta, golden sweet fruit wine from Guolin Town, fried pine nuts from Tiansong County......."

"There must be intergrain cod and caviar from the port of Phuketana!"

"Boom! these two things are precious.......

"Of course, if you have to ask the mage to design a frost circle to help store and transport, can it not be expensive?"

"What's expensive? Smart needs you to think about him? Hey, hurry up and order. Oh, the truffles of NATO SASS ......."

"Pastries made with cheese from Jovanshire are indispensable......."

.......

Just ordering, these merchants tossed for a while, and finally stopped.

The two brothers looked at this scene, and their whole bodies fell into a temporary stupor. They may have eaten all the delicacies in the mouths of this group of merchants, and they may remember the names of certain ingredients that they particularly loved or remembered, but they would never be able to talk about them like this group of merchants. As Ye Guyun said, they really wouldn't spend energy to delve into such things about appetite.

However, Ye Guyun slowly frowned as the conversation progressed, and at the end, he said to the merchants: "Everyone, it seems that the ingredients you recommend are all excellent ingredients from all over the world, and you can't find any local ingredients, this ........"

The round head named Smart smiled and said, "It turns out that Brother Tai wants to taste the local flavors! Yes, however, their recommendation is not wrong, isn't the local flavor of Crescent City easy to taste the flavors of the world!"

"Isn't there a local specialty?"

"It can't be said that there isn't," said the fat native merchant, "like Crescent City's own alpine honey, alpine wine, and Crescent City's fresh squid from the nearby seas." ”

"Tsk!" the tall, thin Rohia merchant immediately retorted, "ask yourself, do you think these things can be considered specialty?"

"Of course you can't forget it," the other interjected, "the price is too high, the quality can only be said to be average, I don't see any advantages over similar products, anyway, I will not use this so-called 'specialty' to entertain guests." ”

"The strangest thing is that these few products that are basically unpopular can have a high price point because of insufficient production......."

"There is a travel factor, and there is also the impact of the tax refund policy. ”

"It's not as bad as you say. The local merchant made a small defense, "The climate and geographical conditions of Crescent City are actually quite suitable for the growth of those few special products, as long as you manage it with a little care, the quality can be greatly improved.......

"The question is, can you find the natives who are willing to take care of it?" said the Rohia merchant, "and to tell you the truth, I tried to make an idea of a local specialty, but it failed....... I couldn't even find a suitable site and enough labor. There is no need to explain the problem of the site, and the labor force cannot be all slaves and foreign laborers, right? But I just can't recruit local residents. They were not like the citizens of other cities, they were much richer and more comfortable, and they lived well by collecting rent and doing small business. Beekeeping, grape growing, and fishing are just a habit or hobby. ”

Shaking his head, he added, "Here, it's Crescent City!

For a time, the merchants collectively fell into a state of aphasia. Ye Guyun was a little unwilling, and he continued to ask: "Okay, let's not talk about food." With such a developed Crescent City, is it true that there is not even a single specialty?"

Smart said, "Haha, it doesn't seem like there's any. The reason has already been said. Crescent City is a pure transportation hub and commercial center, and the production should be left to other cities. What's the matter? Brother Tai wants to do something special?"

"Oh, no, just curious. ”

"You see, we've been talking for so long, and we haven't introduced each other yet. Okay, I'll come first, my name is Smart, brother, what about you?"

"My name is Saphius. ”

Burst~~~~!

"Don't get excited, don't get excited. I know why you're like this, but it's just a coincidence. ”

"It's just a coincidence?!!

The two brothers rolled their eyes in their hearts.
