Chapter 310 This is our working meal

The yamen runners were happy with the meal, but the surrounding barbaric people were anxious.

"Hey, hey, why don't you sit over there? I can't even see the food."

"They even have freshly steamed white buns, and no one touches them. It's too extravagant."

Duan Qiwen frowned and said, "Everyone, please don't crowd over here. This is where we workers eat."

The person at the front woke up with a start, his face flushed, but he still refused to leave: "Sir, I want to come and work, do you think I can do it?"

Not to mention the five hundred wen a day wage.

Just this meal alone would cost a lot.

Once someone starts, others will follow suit.

“I want to come and work, too.”

"Working shouldn't require signing a contract, right? Then I'll come too."

"Everyone is quiet."

Duan Qiwen slammed his hand on the table with a stern face. "It's dinner time now. Regarding the recruitment, after work tonight, everyone will report to me at the City Lord's Mansion."

What kind of delicious food is this?

Saying one more word to these stupid guys would be a waste of his time enjoying the delicious food.

In just half a day, the situation began to reverse.

Zizai Peak is no longer a new force and needs to lower its profile to recruit workers.

Instead, it was these wild locals who were eager to work for Zizai Peak, and they were afraid that they would not be accepted.

"Okay, okay, Master Duan, you must remember me. I came here first, so you must register me first."

Duan Qiwen responded nonchalantly, feeling extremely proud.

As expected, he was smart and recognized the noble person at a glance.

There are more and more hungry people, but no one is willing to leave.

However, their shock was not over yet.

Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Xuan Yiyi waved his hand, and someone brought out a large basket of apples and pears from the carriage.

There were even two large bunches of grapes on the edge of the basket.

this……

Looking at the fresh cuts on the grape stems, the group felt dizzy.

Isn't this something only the city lord can afford?

No, in this place, even the city lord can't afford to eat such fresh grapes.

They actually took it out and gave it to the people doing odd jobs to eat.

The person who had just mocked Duan Qiwen finally broke down: "Impossible, you are definitely putting on an act. Even if you are the city lord, you can't eat like this every meal."

Duan Qiwen calmly picked a grape and threw it into his mouth: "Chen Liangping, you are ignorant, don't think that others are the same as you.

Our master said that this is just our most basic working meal.

Do you know what a working meal is?

This is the food that people who work in our Zizaifeng industry eat every day."

Although Duan Qiwen looked calm on the surface, he was also confused in his mind.

The hand holding the grapes was still shaking.

He has followed the city lord for so many years and has also eaten grapes.

The taste is like heaven and earth.

Are they really ordinary grapes?

Duan Qiwen had thought about how he could make his food as delicious as possible.

But once he took a bite of the grapes, he didn't need to act at all, tears just kept falling: "This is so delicious."

No matter how much he boasted, it was his first time eating it himself.

The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

“Is it really that delicious?”

"Look, he's almost crying because of eating so much. It doesn't look fake."

"Who would use so many things to put on a show just to trick us into working?"

"Don't tell me, if every meal is like this, and there is still 500 coins to be taken, the city lord's life will not be as happy as ours."

Chen Liangping swallowed hard and angrily left the crowd.

He just didn't believe that this Zizai Peak was really that mysterious.

Zizai Peak Courtyard.

Lu Wanyin appeared in the room in a flash.

Xie Jingci sat at the table with a pen in hand and a large piece of paper spread out on the table.

Lu Wanyin walked closer and saw that it was densely covered with paintings, almost full of them.

Hearing the footsteps, Xie Jingci didn't even raise his head: "What's going on?"

“It went even smoother than we thought.”

Lu Wanyin pulled a chair and sat down in front of him. "The people here have lived a hard life for many years. They can resist money, but they have no resistance to tempting food."

"normal."

Xie Jingci held a red ballpoint pen in his hand and drew another circle on the map.

This pen is much better than a brush.

He let out a long sigh and sat up straight. "The wilderness is plagued by bandits, and the city lord is inactive. Even if the common people save up some silver, it will be robbed by bandits. Of course, edible goods are more attractive than copper coins. Even if they take the copper coins, they will generally exchange them for practical things."

Lu Wanyin suddenly realized.

She actually forgot this.

She held her chin in her hand and watched Xie Jingci carefully mark the map. "Zizai City will soon become powerful. By then, no bandits will dare to invade. Silver and money will once again be the first choice."

When bandits ask for money to buy things, it means they are still afraid, and there are some people they dare not rob.

It won't be long before the bandits will want to take a detour when they see the main city.

Xie Jingci put away his pen and took one last look at the entire map. "All the forces within a radius of 500 miles are basically listed here. Madam, please take a look and decide which one to meet first."

Lu Wanyin winked at him and said, "I've changed my mind. Instead of wasting time trying to decide which one to attack first, why not let those who have ulterior motives attack us first?"

The bustling scene in the city today gave her a crazy idea.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

Then, she would have to be more and more high-profile and attract all those storms.

Use their names to make the reputation of Zizai Peak known throughout the entire wilderness.

Xie Jingci raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's good. The mountain has suddenly changed a lot. Even Xuan Qi and the others are no longer focused on practicing their spears, and there is no rush to go out in the next day or two."

Lu Wanyin was helpless: "It's obviously you who are too strict. I am also paying attention to the progress."

Among all the people, the guards around Xie Jingci made the fastest progress.

They have been transformed by the spiritual spring water and have a basic knowledge of hidden weapons.

The fastest way to use a gun is to get started.

Next are the thirteen women including Xie Yuyan who have reached the second round of special training.

Their bodies transformed by the spiritual spring water are destined to be far superior to others in terms of physique, vision and perception.

Among them, Xie Yuyan's spearmanship is the best.

She trained harder than the others, and was the only one whose marksmanship was comparable to Xuan Qi and the others.

"How can you perform at your best if you are not in a stable mood?"

Xie Jingci opened the window and looked at the fruits so close to him: "However, they are not people who need others to worry about. Even if they are sent out now, there will be no delay."

Lu Wanyin leaned halfway out of the window and picked a fruit. "It's been three days, and the fruit hasn't wilted at all. The fruit trees on this mountain are all planted perfectly. The black soil on the mountain hasn't been greatly affected by moving out of the space."

The speed of ripening and fruiting is a little slower than in space, but still much faster than other places.
