Chapter 807 I have a bold idea
In the Basin Forest, while the construction team was busy, the Wood Elves' purchasing team also took a carriage all the way and arrived at Xishan City smoothly.
Although they had already seen Green Forest City before, they were still shocked by the prosperity of West Mountain City.
Once you arrive in the city, the first thing you have to do is to arrange accommodation. This time you will undoubtedly have to pay for the room, which is another expense.
But this did not affect the good mood of the wood elves at all. Walking into the familiar four-person dormitory, the wood elves dived into the dry and comfortable bed.
"Well, I miss this bed so much. No one please disturb me. I don't want to move anymore."
"Then we'll go to Manxianglou by ourselves."
"Manxianglou?!"
"Yes, let's eat hot pot."
“Eat hot pot!!!”
The wood elf, who was planning to weld himself to the bed a second ago, suddenly stood up straight the moment he heard the three words "eat hot pot", and all the tribesmen around him were stunned.
"What are you all still standing there for? Let's go eat hotpot!"
When they heard that they were going to eat hotpot, the wood elves who had originally planned to play badly gathered together as quickly as possible. Three carriages carrying all the wood elves drove towards Manxianglou in a menacing manner.
When the waiter at the door of Manxianglou saw three horse-drawn carriages coming towards them, he knew that a big business was coming.
Seeing the carriage stop, the wood elves got off the carriage and greeted them warmly.
"Please come in, gentlemen. It's been a while since I last came."
When the wood elves heard this, they were immediately delighted.
"You have a good memory. You can still remember it."
"You gentlemen are so noble-looking. I will never forget you after seeing you once."
The appearance of the wood elves is very recognizable in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In addition, they are generous with their money. Every time they come to Manxianglou, it is a big business. It is impossible for the waiter not to remember them.
"Speaking of which, our Manxianglou just recently launched a new soup base."
"New pot bottom?!"
The eyes of the wood elves all lit up.
“Yes, it’s called Tomato Pot.”
"Tomato pot? What is that?"
"It's a soup base made from something called tomatoes. It was originally grown on a farm in the rainforest, and was later transplanted to our area. The first batch has just matured and is now on the market. I guarantee that the taste is something you have never tasted before."
Just a few steps into the store, the waiter sold the tomato pot.
There are twenty-one wood elves here. Won’t they occupy five tables directly?
Although Manxianglou's business is not bad on weekdays, it cannot withstand the fact that these wood elves never ask about the prices when ordering food. They are the very few high-spending regular customers of Manxianglou.
This time, they once again displayed their generous side. They didn't even need the waiter to introduce the dishes they wanted to eat. They just closed their eyes and ordered all the dishes they wanted.
"Oh, and give us that tomato hotpot too..."
At this point, the wood elf who was ordering food paused. He suddenly realized that each of their tables had ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot and a tomato hotpot. There probably wouldn't be enough space for two hotpots on one square table.
Seeing his embarrassment, the waiter quickly said something.
"Sir, we now have three kinds of pots in Manxianglou. It's a big pot divided into three compartments. We have white soup, red soup and tomato soup."
"This is good, then change all of them to three-in-one pot."
"Okay, I'll ask the kitchen to arrange it for you."
While waiting for the food to be served, a wood elf who came to Da Zhou for the first time couldn't help but poke his companion next to him.
"What's going on over there?"
"Oh, that one, that one is a storyteller. What he's telling now is how the 300-man Xianzhen Camp defeated 5,000 enemy troops! Your Majesty angrily cut off the tyrant's head!"
As he spoke, the wood elf became visibly excited.
“I really like listening to this.”
As he was talking, the wood elf held the plate of melon seeds and happily cracked them while listening to the book.
When they heard something exciting, they would clap their hands and cheer along with the guests at other tables in the restaurant, just like locals returning home, and there was no sense of incongruity at all just sitting there.
The other wood elves who participated in the exchange group behaved in the same way, which made Locke, the clan leader, feel a little weird.
He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
Soon, the hot pot arrived, and his attention was diverted to the food in front of him. He had never seen the pot divided into three parts, and for a moment, he really didn't know where to start.
The wood elves in the exchange group were acting much more at ease at this moment.
“This tomato soup base is absolutely amazing!”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Hey! How many times have I told you? Put down the vegetables. When eating hot pot, you should cook the meat first and then the vegetables!"
“…”
After a hotpot meal, the aroma was so delicious that I was intoxicated.
The wood elves in the exchange group hadn't tasted this soup for a long time, and with the new soup base, they ate it recklessly, wishing they could eat themselves to death.
For those tribesmen who had never eaten hotpot before, it was like they had opened the door to a new world.
By the end of the meal, everyone was so full that they couldn't walk anymore, so the meal ended.
When paying the bill, Locke was a little nervous at first, but after learning that the meal only cost seven silver coins, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
【Fortunately, it’s quite cheap. 】
When he rented a car or a house before, all the bags of money on him were gone.
Now he just needed to open his purse and take out seven silver coins, which made him feel it was a bargain.
Little did people know that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, a meal for an ordinary person in the cafeteria, including a meat dish, two vegetable dishes and a bowl of soup, only cost four or five copper coins. In big cities where prices were higher, it only cost six or seven copper coins.
Generally speaking, for someone who comes to Manxianglou, if one person eats normally, fifteen or twenty copper coins would be enough. If there are twenty-one people, it would probably cost about five silver coins. For someone like them who spent seven silver coins directly, it was really luxurious.
Now, each of the twenty-one wood elves has a big belly, and it is obvious that they will not be able to move in the short term.
Now I just sit there and listen to the book.
The waiter saw this and did not urge them. Instead, he quickly cleared the table and served them tea and melon seeds.
There's no need to rush. That little bit of money has already been included in the calculation.
They came to Manxianglou at noon and stayed there listening to books, drinking tea and eating melon seeds. It was not until two o'clock in the afternoon that they were ready to leave.
Before leaving, one of the wood elves suddenly spoke...
"Everyone, I have a bold idea."
"What do you think?"
The wood elf next to him responded casually, and at the same time did not forget to grab a handful of melon seeds to eat on the way.
"You said, we have 100,000 silver coins in our hands, can we just let Manxianglou move to our place?"
“…”
