I have a food city [infrastructure] Section 10
"Your Lord!" Butler Blaise raised his voice in disbelief, "You want to give such precious food to these lowly slaves? ”
"You're teaching me to do things?"
Philos's tone was very flat, but it was this calm tone that made Blaze's face turn pale.
It is very face-saving for a nobleman to be questioned by slaves, especially in front of other slaves.
Although Blaise is the steward of the Lord's Mansion, unfortunately, he is also a slave, just the highest status among slaves.
In an instant, all kinds of tortured deaths were shown in his mind one by one, and Blaise was so frightened that his body softened with excitement.
"My lord, I don't—I didn't mean that." In the moment of life and death, human beings can always burst out with great potential, and in order to survive, his mind spun quickly, "My, I mean, is it such a precious food lord, how many days are you going to distribute it?" ”
Philos glanced at him lightly, and then asked, "According to the 'rules', how long will the banquet take?" ”
Bleed, who had been beaten, immediately replied: "Thirty days." ”
"Then send it for thirty days."
The price of Lanceville is not low, the cheapest flour is 20 copper coins a catty, but that is flour, it is better to say wheat husk flour. The real flour used to make honey bread is 1 silver coin (100 copper coins), 2 copper coins for coogu eggs, 1 gold coin (1w copper coin) for frosting, 2 silver coins for butter (200 copper coins), and yeast white sesame seeds are not cheap.
Calculate the material cost of a honey bun is more than 100 copper coins!
If there are more than 10,000 people to receive it, the expenditure is 300 gold coins for one day, and 9,000 gold coins for 30 days.
Blaise finished the account in his heart, and gasped in distress.
Philos remained silent, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, the budget for the thirty-day banquet was sixty thousand gold coins, and Blaise did not blink at this expenditure, as if he had only spent six copper coins, but spending nine thousand points of bread was as painful as being robbed of ninety million gold coins.
Chapter 12
Nine thousand gold coins is nothing to Philos, especially in front of the account balance of more than three billion, which is about a fraction of a fraction.
But for the civilians of Lanceville, it was "the first time in this life" and "the happiest in this life".
"It smells so good...... Sister, can we really get such precious food? ”
"Definitely, definitely!"
It was a pair of sisters and brothers with a big age difference who spoke, if it weren't for the younger brother calling his sister, the two looked more like mother and son in appearance.
The girl was thin, almost like a bamboo pole, and even slightly bulging veins could be seen on her arms. It's not that there is still meat, but that the blood in the blood vessels is pitifully scarce, shriveled and sandwiched between a layer of skin and bone.
But when you look at it again, the boy lying on the girl's back is even more terrifyingly thin.
Three years old? Five-year-old? It was a child who was too thin to tell his age.
The tiny lump shrunk up on my sister's back, like a small and cute skeleton. If it weren't for the fact that the clothes of the siblings were too tattered, there were some necromancers with the temperament of a small skeleton in this dress.
But how could a necromancer be so poor?
The little boy's saliva hung up and wet his sister's clothes, but he didn't wipe them. He didn't have the strength to move anymore. Perhaps hungry or in pain, he curled up and pressed his knees against his stomach, trying to make himself feel better this way. This position had exhausted the last of his strength, and after adjusting to this position, he could no longer move.
"Sister, it's so fragrant......"
"It's so fragrant, it's really fragrant......"
The siblings talked, but if anyone really paid attention, they would find that the boy had never made a sound.
He was so hungry that he didn't even have the strength to wipe his saliva, so how could he speak?
My sister's cheeks were sunken with hunger, and to be honest, it was a miracle that their brother and sister hadn't died yet.
When she woke up in the morning, her sister could faintly feel the smell of death, and the smell of her younger brother was even stronger.
She didn't get up, and her brother didn't move, so the sister and brother snuggled up to each other and hugged each other and continued to maintain a warm posture.
The loss of life force was a hopeless feeling, but the thought of no longer having to endure hunger and pain made me feel very relieved, as if I was relieved.
However, just as the breathing of the two of them became lighter and lighter, and it was so light that it was about to disappear in the next second, a domineering and rich fragrance swept over.
The two sisters and brothers, who were unconscious, almost seemed to be healed by the smell, and their bodies did not know where to squeeze out some strength.
It smells so good...... It smells so good...... It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, it's so fragrant-
My stomach, which was so painful that I lost consciousness, turned again.
Although it was just a smell, the sister and brother smashed their mouths, and their mouths seemed to have really tasted sweetness.
"It's so good...... "To die in such a delicious fragrance is really the happiest thing in my life!
"Sister, is this sweet?" My younger brother is not very old and doesn't know a lot of things, but I've heard from others that sweetness is the most delicious thing in the world!
In the past, he couldn't imagine what the "most delicious thing" was, but when he smelled the fragrance - yes, it was the most delicious thing in the world!
My sister has never tasted sugar either, but she, like her brother, takes it as a "sweet taste" of expensive happiness when she smells it.
"Yes, that's sweetness."
Both of them had little strength, but they didn't want to die when they thought that their barren life could taste the sweetness at the last moment of their lives.
Smell more, smell more and earn money!
The siblings hugged each other tightly, shrunk on the side of the street and smiled happily, but the dead air on their bodies became thicker and thicker.
Pedestrians on the road come and go, but no one cares.
Acquaintances were getting together, chatting their lips and imagining what kind of high-grade magic ingredients could exude such a wonderful aroma, and no one looked at the pair of siblings more.
It's normal to have a few dead people in Dayak City, and it's hard to imagine that tomorrow it will be you who will die on the side of the road, so no one takes it seriously.
“…… No way! How could such a low-level demon plant as the Devil Vine exude such a fragrant smell! It must be a higher-level magic plant! ”
"Then you say! What else can be made of sugar besides devil's vine! ”
The man was speechless, ordinary people who had not received an education could know the Devil's Vine because there was a terrible Devil's Ridge near Dayak City, where a large number of Devil's Vines were gathered.
But let him admit that he has little knowledge, and he is absolutely unwilling, so he stalks his neck and wants to change the topic with a rough and rough nonsense.
Seeing that a chaos was about to begin, an anxious shout roared out.
"Mommy, Mommy, come on! The lord is giving out rewards, as long as you go to the line, everyone can receive two honey breads, which is the smell of the air! It's sweet and fragrant, and it's very delicious! ”
It was Lilith who shouted, and she ran back as fast as she could after eating the honey buns.
The maid in the castle said that everyone had it, but the honey bread in the box didn't look like enough for everyone.
Lilith is just young and informed, not brainless.
After she had eaten the honey bread, she ran back as fast as she could.
"Mom, bring Dad with you, you can get two each!"
Lilith ran out of breath, but she didn't dare to waste a moment's time, and shouted at her mother quickly and urgently.
Mary didn't hear what Lilith was shouting, and even raised her eyebrows because it took Lilith to buy flour for so long, as if she was about to curse.
How much Mary's slap hurt Lilith knew how much it hurt, she hurriedly stopped, held her knee and gasped for breath, under the effect of the desire to survive, her brain flashed and extracted the most important keyword: "Lord Lord is making sugar." Just go to the queue and get candy to eat! ”
Mary's raised hand suddenly stopped, and the street, which had been noisy a second before, fell silent as if the pause button had been pressed.
Free, sugar.
These two unrelated words could appear in the same sentence, and no one dared to tell that Lilith's words would be true.
That's sugar! Sugar is so expensive! How could any nobleman be willing to give sugar to an inferior person like them?!
I can't believe it, it's outrageous!
But the craving for sugar overwhelmed all sanity.
Mary shuddered and asked, "Is this scented sugar?" ”
Honey buns to be exact, but Lilith didn't know the difference, she just nodded very hard: "Yes! It's so special, it's delicious! ”
If she could, she would like to describe it as something special, more delicious than the aroma that fills the air!
"Ahh
Mary also ran, but she thought of her husband lying on the bed again, and the sound of two of them made her turn home again, and she picked her husband up and rushed to the lord's house.
Lilith has to inform her brothers and sisters again, although work is precious, honey bread is obviously more precious, and when the brothers and sisters get off work, they must rush to the queue as soon as possible!
"Did Rocco hear me? It's sugar, it's free sugar! The siblings, who should have died, were regained their strength because of Lilith's words.
Sister Haiwei got up from the ground with difficulty, put her younger brother on her back, and walked tremblingly on her thin legs in the direction of the Lord's Mansion.
"It's sugar, Rocco! It's sugar! The tear ducts, which she thought had dried up, poured out wet tears again, and she murmured to her brother, "Hold on a little longer, you must hold on until you die after eating the sugar, do you hear?" ”
With what little strength he had left, Rocco cried out, "Sister, I want to eat sugar." ”
"Let's go, let's go get candy." The skeletal woman carried the small skeleton on her back, step by step, avoiding the crowd and walking towards her destination, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind, but her eyes burst out with a dazzling light.
The speed of the two siblings couldn't be as fast as they wanted, and when they finally reached the end of the line, the long line couldn't see the end at a glance.
But with the encouragement of the scent, the siblings somehow rose a wave of confidence - they would be able to eat sugar before dying!
The queue in front of the lord's mansion is very long, such a domineering and rich aroma, there is no need to notify and advertise it one by one, as long as there are smelly creatures in the city, they can smell it.
Especially if you have already tasted it, you will run home immediately after eating it and ask your relatives, neighbors and friends to come and pick it up, which is not only delicious, but also free!
Gratis!
The magic of these two words is no less than legendary magic!
Therefore, the congestion of the streets around the Lord's Palace can be imagined.
"Don't crowd, get in line, everyone will have it! The Lord's bounty shines throughout the realm! ”
In order to maintain order, all the male servants in the castle came out to act as guards, and the female servants were eager to give birth to three heads and six arms to complete all the countless tasks at once.
The siblings came too late, got the news too late, walked too slowly, and by the time they finally arrived at the candy area, it was already noon.
The midday sun in autumn was a little heavy, and the siblings, who did not have much clothing to cover them, swayed their bodies, hungry, aching, and thirsty...... All kinds of tormenting negative states are superimposed, as if they will fall down in the next second and then never get up.
But every time they thought they would shake and fall, they smelled the sweet smell, and it was as if a force was pouring out of their bodies to support them to continue to live.
"This is your honey bun, do you need water?" In addition to a mountain of honey loaf behind Alice, there are two more large jars of water, one of which is engraved with a cleaning inscription, which can be cleaned up by throwing the cup into it in three seconds, and the other is a cool and white pot for people to drink.
Hearing Alice's voice, the confused siblings realized that it was their turn.
The huge scent shock made them a little dizzy with happiness, and their fragile bodies unconsciously licked their chapped lips.
