"What is this, this is all ......" Wu Neng complained while walking in the rugged alley, "How can you still do this business?" I even drove the customers outside. ”

In desperation, Wu Neng could only visit the other shops in the bazaar, but the result finally disappointed him, the things sold in the shops were basically imported food and daily necessities that he didn't need for the time being, and the variety was still monotonous, the herbs and other goods he wanted were either out of stock, or had been booked by a large chamber of commerce.

The bazaar was not large, and Wu Neng quickly walked through the alleys, and finally only bought some extremely coarse fabrics and three wooden basins that could hold all kinds of things, and when they were brought back, they might be used as wrapping cloths and wash basins.

The sun had already crossed the most important position, Wu Neng touched his rumbling belly, and decided to find a place to eat in the city.

It took him some tricks, but Wu Neng eventually managed to find a cabin suspected to be a restaurant in the north of the city.

There was no signboard hanging at the door of the small restaurant, and Wu Neng also realized that this cottage was actually a restaurant after seeing the preferential notice posted outside the door.

He walked into the store, and not long after, a short young man with a bald head ran over, and he said to Wu Neng with a smile: "Is the guest officer here to travel, what do you plan to eat?" ”

"Sure enough, it's a restaurant, wait for me to see what is delicious here, and then bring some back to Lao Shi, Lao Tie and Uncle Aguer." Wu Neng thought in his heart.

Wu Neng sat down on a sturdy-looking chair and said to the guy, "I'm here for the first time, do you have a recipe?" ”

"Here." Before Wu Neng's words were finished, the man handed a piece of bark paper pinned behind him to Wu Neng, "Guest officer, you are here today, this time is the third anniversary of the opening of this restaurant, and some main dishes have a nine-percent discount." ”

"Good...... Okay......" Wu Neng nodded with a smile as he took over the menu, but soon, his smile froze on his face.

"I said, man, don't you have any meat here?" Wu Neng asked with a frown.

The guy smiled and said, "The guest officer just came to us, don't you know, it was ours four days ago...... What's that...... The greatest wonder in the world, the head of all the Keju teams in Kawa, and the ...... of the rainforest continent What's coming...... Ah yes, King of kings, Founder of the kingdom of Kawa, owner of all lands, Great ...... of the Lord Belch...... High Priest! The birthday of His Excellency the Sacred Egan Brave, a permanent supreme emeritus scholar of the Kawa Academy, has to be feasted for the first fifteen days and fifteen days after his birthday, and the meat in the city has been bought from the palace, so I can only grieve you for now. ”

"Uh......" Wu Neng was stunned for a moment and asked, "I'm sorry for confirming, you mean that you can't buy meat in every place in the city these days, right?" ”

The man smiled dryly and replied, "It's all like this, it's all like this, if you have another way, then I didn't say it." ”

Wu Neng sighed and said, "In this way, bring me a tomato soup, a roasted potato and a green leaf sweet potato pile." ”

The guy nodded and took away the menu, "Okay, please wait a minute!" ”

After the guy left, Wu Neng exhaled and leaned against the wall beside him, relaxing his ankles while driving away the mosquitoes around him.

The other guests in the restaurant looked at Wu Neng curiously while eating the contents of their plates, they were not surprised that Wu Neng was a foreigner, they wondered why there were foreigners running towards the royal city alone, Wu Neng didn't look like he was coming with a companion.

About a quarter of an hour later, the guy who had ordered for Wu Neng before came over with three wooden plates.

A wooden plate contains red soup, a wooden plate contains three skewers of baked potato chunks skewered with wooden skewers, and the last wooden plate is a pile of sweet potato puree mixed with various unknown greens. As for the appearance, the appearance of the three-course dish cannot be said to be a golden meal, but it can also be said to be a mouthful.

However, Wu Neng didn't have much expectations for the restaurants in this small city, and his shriveled stomach couldn't let him continue to wait, so Wu Neng picked up a wooden spoon, scooped a spoonful of soup, and poured it into his mouth.

He coughed and almost threw up, and the guy not far away saw Wu Neng's embarrassed expression, walked over with a smile, and asked, "Guest officer, is it not to taste?" ”

"I said, man, did you bring this soup with tomatoes and water to boil and then serve it? Don't you have any condiments in your shop? And how does this water smell weird? Where does the water in your shop come from? Wu Neng asked dissatisfiedly like a cannon.

"Guest officer, conscience of heaven and earth, this water is brought up from the pool designated by the government, and the water in the pool that I have drunk since I was a child is how it can smell strange?"

Wu Neng asked suspiciously, "Chizi?" Didn't you people in the city get water from wells? I don't think there are any ponds in this city, do you? ”

"The guest officer may not know, the three wells in our Kawa City belong to the palace, and we usually get water to the pool outside the west of the city, but please rest assured, although the guest officer may not be used to drinking our water here, but I can guarantee that there will be no problems with drinking it."

Wu Neng shook his head helplessly, and continued: "Then why don't you add some salt or other spices, your country in the Rainforest Continent should not lack spices, right?" ”

"Huh?" The shop guy was stunned for a moment, he looked at the door of the store and the other guests in the store, and then whispered with an embarrassed face: "Guest officer, that's the case, the spices and most of the salt we have here are only supplied to the palace and the big chamber of commerce from your side, and the salt you buy on weekdays is generally only added to the specialties in our store, and the tomato soup you ordered is just a side dish, so ...... Belch...... Please also ask the guest officer to bear with me, our store is small and profitable, and there is really no way. ”

"Hey, okay, okay." Wu Neng waved his hand, "I know, you go and get busy." ”

Seeing that Wu Neng no longer cared, the shopkeeper hurriedly thanked him, and then beckoned other guests to go.

Wu Neng looked at the tomato soup in front of him, but finally didn't move the second spoonful.

But fortunately, the roasted potatoes and green leaf sweet potato piles, especially the green leaf sweet potato piles, are still very good, which makes Wu Neng feel some comfort in his heart.

During the meal, the chatter of some of the guests sitting next to him also reached Wu Neng's ears, and their topics of conversation were mainly focused on the Keju Sai in the city and the recent rebellion in the western part of the Kawa country.

The men all spoke in very low voices when discussing the rebellion, and each had a different expression on their faces, but it seemed that most of them had some schadenfreude on their faces.

Wu Neng's ear power was far less good than Shi Cheng's, so he didn't fully hear the conversations of the diners, but the civil unrest in Kawa still made him feel a little worried, and he couldn't help but hope that his two companions would recover soon.

Wu Neng hastily ate the food on the plate, leaving only the tomato soup, he planned to hurry to the village after a walk around the city, Wu Neng didn't want to rush to the night in the wilderness.

Before leaving, Wu Neng packed three piles of sweet potatoes for his two companions and Aguer's family.

Before leaving Kawa City, Wu Neng wandered around the city's bazaar for a while, and after making sure that he didn't have what he needed, he left the bazaar area in disappointment and walked towards the south gate of the city.

Just as he reached the main road to the south, a lively sound of gongs and drums entered his ears.

"What's going on?" He looked up and saw a splendid convoy of jewels coming from the north side of the main road to the south.

The two teams of guards opened the way in front of the convoy, and the passers-by who were walking on the road avoided one after another, and Wu Neng also flashed to the side with interest.

Wu Neng pulled a middle-aged man beside him and asked curiously, "Brother?" What's going on? Is there something going on in your town? ”

The middle-aged man looked at Wu Neng and cautiously probed, "Is this little brother the son of a chamber of commerce?" ”

Wu Neng shook his head, "I'm an explorer from Wu Kingdom, and I've come here for the first time today. ”

"Wu Guo." The middle-aged man obviously had some insight, and he said enviously: "I heard that you are a heavenly place there. ”

"Uh, it's okay. Brother, you haven't answered my question yet, is this an activity? ”

"What kind of activities." The middle-aged man glanced at the approaching convoy, his face showed a little disdain and anger, and he replied in a slightly yin and yang tone: "It is the king of our Kawa country, the greatest miracle in the world, the head of all the Keju teams of Kawa, the king of kings in the Rainforest Continent, the founder of Kawa country, the owner of all lands, the high priest under the command of the Holy Venerable, and the permanent supreme honor scholar of Kawa Academy, His Excellency the Holy Egan Yongwu, who routinely takes his wives out every day to relax." ”

"So many people come out with their wives to relax, no wonder this convoy is so long." Wu Neng scratched his head and looked at the convoy that had already approached, "But this country is really strange, the top leaders of other countries are all one person, why are there so many leaders in this Kawa country?" ”

Soon, Wu Neng realized that his idea was very wrong.

The guards guarded both sides of the street, and the ornate convoy slowly drove in front of Wu Neng, a tall and fat rainforester dressed in a gorgeous and supple gold-trimmed robe, with a fierce face and a fat face, sitting in the most spacious and luxurious carriage in the middle, his left and right hands each holding a woman who was also wearing a noble long dress, and other women sat in the front and rear seats and in the carriage in front and behind.

The convoy consisted of soldiers serving as guards and servants, women dressed in various clothes, and the Kawa nobleman in a gold-trimmed robe, and nothing else.

Wu Neng finally reacted, the long list of strange names he could often hear in the city was only used to address a person.

He fixed his eyes and saw that there were as many as twenty-seven wives and concubines around King Kawa.

Wu Neng was extremely surprised and shocked by this scene, after all, he had only heard the word "groups of wives and concubines" when he had heard stories about the extravagant lives of the nobles in the old imperial era. After the new imperial era replaced the old imperial era, with the development of social wealth, the princes, nobles, merchants and citizens gradually made common decrees, and everyone was nominally bound by the national code, even the emperor of the Great Wei Empire only had one main chamber and two side chambers, and the Tian Khan of the Union Khanate, Wu Neng heard that he only had one wife.

Seeing the country of the old era with his own eyes in the world of the new era made Wu Neng's heart feel a strong sense of discomfort.
