Chapter 181: Harvey's Home
There are no restaurants in the outer city where resources are scarce, and if you want to eat in the middle of the night, you can only call the cook to cook freshly.
Of course, in the outer city, the word "cook" is only used to describe a person whose food is well cooked, not a profession.
"Please come in, my dear friend."
The accompanying guys pushed open the thick iron courtyard door, and Harvey made a "please" gesture to Shu Yungui, with a smile on his face, and he couldn't see that he was still saying that he wanted Shu Yungui to die in the beast cage just now.
"It's ......"
Shu Yungui looked at the large stone fountain and the well-trimmed shrub wall in the courtyard, even at night, he could smell the fragrance of flowers blooming, he followed Harvey from the courtyard gate to the gate, a total of five hundred and fifty steps, and he didn't know how wide it was.
In the outer city, where arable land is seriously scarce, such a large area can be enclosed for planting useless ornamental plants, which shows Harvey's status in the outer city, but the captain of the patrol team is less than one-tenth of him.
"Your house?"
Harvey said modestly: "The humble house is simple, eat a light meal, please don't laugh."
The main building of the manor is also made of stone, which is supposed to be made of the same material as the city walls, and the large iron gate is sturdy and sturdy, and there are even two hanging tigers cast on it, protruding from the thick and smooth gate.
Harvey pushed the tiger's tooth to open the door, and a light that was not too bright came from inside, it turned out to be an electric light, and in the special era when everyone used oil lamps and even torches, he could consume energy so unscrupulously to keep the generator running.
The generator voltage is not very stable, and the light of the crystal chandelier flickers from time to time, but compared to the Jenkins, who have no lighting to use, this place is already heaven.
Harvey pulled out the chair for him, and the two sat on either side of the ten-seater dining table, the polished marble table top glowing warmly in the light, and even though the room was bright enough, Harvey had two clusters of candles lit.
Shu Yungui originally wanted to remind him that it was bright enough, but when the candle was lit and the fragrance wafted in, he realized that it was a scented candle, which Harvey used to increase the atmosphere.
He swallowed his words back quietly, leaned back in his chair gently, and thought to himself that Harvey was doing better this day than he was on Wright, at least he hadn't ordered incense for dinner since he was a child.
"Today, we have prepared thick-sliced bacon, fragrant marinated sauce elbow, crispy roast chicken and tomato beef soup, and the main dishes are creamy asparagus pasta and seasonal vegetable risotto, and if you want, you can also change it to a thick curry sauce."
A man in a top hat and a white apron came in with a dining cart and began to set up dishes for the two of them.
"Truth be told, your light meal is much better than anything I've ever eaten before."
This is the truth, since his parents left, Shu Yungui's diet and daily life have been taken care of by Shu Tongze, no matter what the purpose, Shu Tongze is really unsatisfactory in cooking, Shu Yungui learned to cook by himself when he was not yet on the dining table, but his skills are quite average.
Later, I went to the flight academy and ate in the cafeteria, which can only be said to be decent, and then went to the Xingliu Aviation Standby Station, and every day is like a famine, and there is only one adjective for their canteen, that is, they can barely save their lives.
The best place for meals is the IAFA base, there are a lot of tricks and a single small stove to add food, and it is completely free, but Shu Yungui is not Cheng Sikong, and he will not be arrogant to the point of eating alone and setting a table of dishes.
Shu Yungui, who had eaten baked beans and energy gel for a few days, was really hungry when he smelled the meat at this time, and he was not polite to Harvey, so he picked up a piece of crispy roast chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.
The oil is fragrant, the chicken is tender, and the fatigue of continuous combat is relieved at once.
It's no wonder that people always have to eat after a big event.
"Your meal is enough meat for a family of three out of the city for ten years, right?"
Harvey slowly cut the pork knuckle and laughed, "There will be no meat for ten years, the outer city does not serve meat to civilians, and only people with special status can get meat."
He raised his eyes to look at Shu Yungui and said slowly, "For example, me, or...... It could be you."
"Me
?」
Shu Yungui drank a spoonful of beef soup, used it to run the bacon down, picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, and asked, "I'm just an infiltration, why can I be?"
"You're not a simple infiltrator, the orcs are vulnerable to you, and if you had been born twenty years earlier, maybe the inner and outer cities wouldn't have to be built."
This sounded like a flattery, but Shu Yungui heard a different meaning from it.
He had just made Harvey lose three orcs, and it was common sense that Harvey should be angry and jump to his feet now, but he uncharacteristically invited himself to his home for a meal, and the purpose must be more than just eating.
But Shu Yungui didn't plan to take the initiative to speak, he didn't make a sound, but ate slowly, and accepted all of Harvey's praises, neither modestly saying that his ability was limited, nor bragging about how powerful he was.
Sure enough, soon Harvey couldn't sit still, he put down his knife and fork, and asked Shu Yungui: "You have entered the outer city from the wilderness, don't you want to live a good life in the city in the future?"
Shu Yungui stirred the soup in the bowl, glanced at him flatly, and asked, "What kind of good day is Boss Harvey talking about?"
Thinking that the fish was hooked, Harvey leaned forward, his chest against the marble countertop, and said to Shu Yungui in a deep voice: "Of course, there is meat to eat, wine to drink, and cigarettes to smoke, and you can have whatever you want."
Shu Yungui pretended to be surprised, and also stepped forward and asked, "I don't think life in the outer city seems to be as good as you say?"
Harvey smiled and waved his hand, took out a hand-rolled cigarette from the tin cigarette case, and threw the cigarette case to Shu Yungui for him to take it himself, and then said, "What you see are civilians, and the lives of civilians are naturally very different from the lives that capable people can live."
He exhaled the smoke ring, and the strong smell of handmade tobacco wafted over, and he lowered the corners of his eyes in the scattered smoke, and asked Shu Yungui, "When you lived in the wilderness, did you see the bounty team?"
Sure enough, to the point, Shu Yungui replied in accordance with his words, "Bounty squad? It's the group of people who drive cars and guns and often travel between the outer city and the wilderness?"
"That's right, in the outer city, if someone has special needs and needs to go to the field to find something, and they don't have the ability to go, they will place an order to ask the bounty team to help, and the bounty team will offer a price according to the difficulty of the task, and once the two sides reach an agreement, the bounty team will try to go to the field to get the things on the order back."
Shu Yungui looked surprised: "Can you get anything back?"
Harvey snorted lightly, as if he was laughing at Shu Yungui for not being knowledgeable, but this laughter was very restrained, after all, he had to firmly envelop the young man in front of him.
"As long as the price of the order is right, whatever you want, as long as you can find it in the field, you can get it back."
Harvey gave him an example: "The three orcs I fought against you today were all captured by the bounty team I asked the bounty team to capture, and these three are worth enough for all the people in the entire outer city to eat for three years."
"I see, but even with a bounty squad, how did a mortal mortal fight against such a large and murderous orc?"
Harvey shook his head and said indifferently, "Then I don't know, I haven't been out before, but the people of the bounty team are all brave and experienced, and they have more strange tricks than beans in a pot."
"And how do you know where the orcs are in the wilderness? What if the orcs you ordered were different from what they found?"
"It won't be like that." Harvey said confidently: "Although I don't go out of the city, but doing business is poor information, I naturally have a way to determine what is in the field and where, as long as the bounty team goes to find it according to what I say, it will definitely hit every shot."
It seems that Harvey has an unknown secret in his hands, and Shu Yungui feels that it is likely to be some kind of high-tech technology.
"So what are you telling me all this for?"
He pretended not to understand and asked, "I don't have any needs, and I don't have the ability to be a member of the bounty team, if I can, I just want to stay out of the city and eat some baked beans every day."
Seeing that he didn't mean this, Harvey was anxious, and he pressed the cigarette butt once
Standing up, he came behind Shu Yungui, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and said, "You underestimate your strength too much, my friend, you are much more powerful than the bounty team, I don't know your ...... Magic? Sorcery? How did you come here?"
Shu Yungui didn't intend to tell the truth, and said vaguely: "I was born, and I don't quite understand."
It can be seen that if the mutation ability can be plundered, Harvey will now tie up Shu Yungui and disembowel the ability to take it for himself, but unfortunately, Harvey does not master the method of snatching the ability, he can only do his best to please Shu Yungui.
"This is the fate that God is destined for, you have magic, and God guides us to get acquainted, isn't this destined to make you the richest person in the outer city?"
Harvey bent down to Shu Yungui's ear and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse me, we can try it first, you are so capable and born in the wilderness, the orcs can only obediently give way in front of you, what kind of order can't you complete?" When you get your first payment, you'll love the feeling of picking up money all over the floor."
It seems that he has made up his mind to pull Shuyun into the gang, and if he doesn't agree today, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of this house.
"What's in the wilderness what you want?"
Shu Yungui hit the nail on the head and said, "What is it? Where is it? What price do you offer?"
Harvey was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "I like to make friends with smart people!"
He took out a map, which was an obvious pastel printing plate, which proved that there was a printing industry on the Ninth Star, and the quality of the map was very good, and it was folded many times without damage, indicating that the light industry technology of the Ninth Star had developed quite well.
This is a complete map of the Ninth Star, Shu Yungui only found out at this time that the Ninth Star has only one continental plate, and this plate itself is a perfect circle, the ratio of continents to oceans is about one to three, and the total area of the entire planet is not very large, about half of the Wright Star.
"I need you to go to this place, this is the industrial center of the Ninth Star twenty years ago, called Coper City, there is a Lacroning alchemy here, which contains two of the largest metallurgical machines in the entire Ninth Star."
