Chapter 181 Thinking of each other (8,000 words long chapter, please subscribe!)



Buck City is different from other cities Zhang Feng has seen.

In addition to the city's retro, tall and charming buildings, the residents here also show a strong sense of confidence.

This kind of self-confidence radiates from the inside out. It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that people look down on others, but the civilians here walk with their heads held high, unlike those in other cities where they are timid and dare not look at others.

As people from the royal capital, they certainly have the capital to do so.

For example, their welfare benefits are much better than those of residents in other cities. Some people even say that even begging in a wealthy city is better than being an ordinary person in some remote small city!

Zhang Feng didn’t know whether this was true or not, but he did see a lot of beggars.

As soon as they entered the city, a group of beggars on the roadside were ready to attack them. However, Zhang Feng came in a small steam car, which they had never seen before. They were a little scared for a moment and did not dare to step forward.

"It's okay, go get busy!"

Seeing the cat-eared girl's insincere words, Zhang Feng was so angry that his teeth ached.

"Hmm? Windsor?"

Every family has its own problems, and even the queen is no exception. She also wants to make some money!

The queen touched the fabric of the dress; it was very smooth and soft, no worse than the ones she had custom-made at a high price.

When she first met Zhang Feng, she kept thinking about escaping and tried every trick in the book, but in the end she couldn't escape from Zhang Feng's clutches. This is a lifelong shame for her!

Abei looked at Zhang Feng speechlessly. Is this even human language?

Zhang Feng’s face suddenly appeared in the queen’s mind.

Because Zhang Feng had worked in sales before and had good performance, he had good eloquence. Soon, the two of them were chatting enthusiastically, as if they were old friends for many years.

"It's not custom-made. This is the clothes sold in Hongye City!"

At this time, Abei appeared beside Zhang Feng without knowing when.

The fox-eared girl and her friends did not disguise themselves and revealed their orc faces. After all, they came here openly and there was no need to be sneaky.

It wasn't until a woman coughed that Jenny reluctantly got up and left.

——————————

"It's not okay to act like a spoiled brat!"

Zhang Feng touched the cat-eared girl's ears, and then whispered in her ears:

The cat-eared girl seemed to have already imagined the scene of returning home at night and being drowned in dried fish.

"What a beautiful orc lady!"

In fact, the cat-eared girl didn't want to go either. Her reason was very simple. In the human world, orcs were a rare species and most people were very curious about them. She didn't like the feeling of being the center of attention.

"I'll take you there right away!"

In other words, they are not on the same level. One looks like something a child put together haphazardly, while the other looks like something carefully carved by a master. There is no comparison at all.

Such was the commercial center of Buck City at this time.

The queen thought silently that even if she could earn a few thousand gold coins, she would not consider it.

The cat-eared girl murmured quietly.

Anne came in wearing a more casual pink outfit.

"Hello……"

"Count Zhang Feng, Her Majesty the Queen has already prepared a place for you. You don't need to go through so much trouble."

And the damage is definitely not small. Zhang Feng is still very confident about the store he opened.

The dried fish Zhang Feng gave her was completely different from those fish and tasted great! I don’t know why the difference between the dried fish and the fish is so big!

"This cloth, this style...should it cost 20 gold coins? Or 30?"

"yeah!"

If Zhang Feng's business was small, no one would go to such lengths to target him. But as long as Zhang Feng took it seriously, he himself would not know how big his business would be! He was just a small noble from outside. Even though he was now an earl, he was still an outsider.

Thinking of the queen who gave Zhang Feng a good impression today, and thinking of Annie's identity, Zhang Feng felt that if he could get close to the queen... wouldn't that be a good idea? "Tell me, if I want to buy these shops, will I be rejected?"

This saved Zhang Feng a lot of trouble, and he asked Abei with some curiosity.

"Not a lot, probably less than a hundred..."

The fox-eared girl took the initiative to take charge of tasks such as cleaning.

But unexpectedly, when the queen saw Zhang Feng, her eyes lit up and she walked straight towards Zhang Feng.

After all, there weren't many people there, and it would be difficult to carry too many things. Annie didn't buy many clothes.

As the saying goes, whatever you think of, will come true.

As for the fact that he was no longer a baron but an earl, since the other party didn't know, Zhang Feng didn't explain too much.

After all, merchants are annoying, but gold coins are not annoying!

Abe suddenly spoke up.

However, even if it is a maid outfit, it is better looking than most clothes in the other world. At least it fits Zhang Feng's aesthetic taste. It would be better if the cat-eared girl's buns could be two sizes bigger.

This little kitty is so gullible and so easy to bully.

The nobles then discovered that the cat-eared girl was accompanied by a man named Zhang Feng, who was dressed strangely but looked very handsome.

Abe, wearing a golden knight armor, led the way in front, while Zhang Feng and the cat-eared girl walked behind.

"Yes, Hongye City sells many kinds of clothes, at all price ranges, and they are all very beautiful! Mother, can you guess how much this set of clothes of mine costs?"

Seeing Abei, Zhang Feng was speechless and said, "What's going on? Why are so many women running to me?"

The welcoming dinner for the princess arrived as scheduled.

Because the Queen hadn't seen Anne for a long time, she wanted Anne to talk to her before the dinner started. Anne naturally didn't dare to disobey. Besides, it was her first time traveling far away, and she missed her loving mother very much.

Zhang Feng snorted coldly.

When she heard Zhang Feng mention her embarrassing story, the cat-eared girl immediately felt that she shouldn't talk to Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng shrugged.

Anne smiled slyly.

Looking at the queen's fiery eyes, Zhang Feng had just seen the same look on that group of noble ladies.

The fox-eared girl didn't blush or breathe heavily. She put her hands behind her back and took credit for it to Zhang Feng.

"Yes!"

Zhang Feng was wearing an exquisite black gentleman's suit, which matched his good figure. Even Abei couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. The cat-eared girl was wearing a black and white maid outfit lent to her by the wolf-eared girl.

Zhang Feng pointed to the place they had just come from, and then pointed to the end of the road.

She had heard from Annie before that Zhang Feng had many businesses in Hongye City, including pubs, hotels, bathhouses, etc.

"Ah? No, I..."

If this is the case, it would be difficult for Zhang Feng to open a store in Buck City and make Hongye City famous.

"But it's a bit strange. After all, I am a 'baron' in their eyes, a little baron who came from afar, with no power, no influence, and no gold coins. Why do they care about me so much? Is it really that appearance can defeat everything?"

As for those envious glances cast at him frequently, Zhang Feng naturally ignored them.

"This is the XX property of the XX Marquis..."

Whenever Zhang Feng looked at some shops, Abei would give him answers.

"Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and need to leave for a while..."

"My name is Jenny. I heard that you are from the northernmost part of Buck Kingdom. What is there in the northernmost part? I have never been there. I am quite curious!"

Because the title of nobility is a natural umbrella of protection. If you cooperate with the nobility, although they will hand over part of the profits, it will also save a lot of trouble.

"Zhang Feng, I don't want to go shopping anymore!"

Is it because of these women? But I didn't take the initiative!

To be precise, it was the cat-eared girl behind Zhang Feng who was discovered.

Generally, nobles would not openly talk about their industries, as they thought it was not presentable. But in private, they let merchants work for them and make money.

"Um."

Zhang Feng looked at the cat-eared girl walking behind him with her ears drooping. He touched her ears speechlessly and whispered, "It's just a meal together. Do you really not like eating with me?"

These clothes and other things are all related to Zhang Feng. If I could "import some goods" from Zhang Feng... wouldn't I be able to earn a lot of pocket money?

Anne came over obediently.

Buying a street is not enough? "It's not cheap to buy this street."

“If you mean the place with the most merchants and shops, it should be not far ahead.”

With his experience, Zhang Feng could tell at a glance that most of these people were pretending.

"No more shopping, no more shopping!"

"Hmm? Is this dress also sold in Hongye City?"

Looking at the fox-eared girl who was pulling his sleeve and acting coquettishly, Zhang Feng asked everyone: "What about you?"

"Being too handsome is also a problem!"

But it’s different if they have nobles behind them. The nobles won’t follow the rules.

When she heard about dried fish, the cat-eared girl clenched her fists excitedly and even drooled.

"That's great, let's go take a look."

"Master, drink some water~"

Even if Hongye City is remote, it is still in the Buck Kingdom. The prices are too outrageous! "Oh, by the way, mother, I also bought a lot of clothes. I heard from Abei that if I sell the clothes from Hongye City in our capital, I can make some gold coins!"

Seeing this, Abei said nothing more.

Although the market here is large, it still has a limit. As long as Zhang Feng gets involved and gets a piece of the pie, someone's interests will definitely be harmed.

You can get a dried fish in return for a glass of wine?

Although it's not very tasty, it can quench your thirst.

Especially when the rulers are aristocrats, most of them look down on merchants from the bottom of their hearts, but they have to need merchants.

"When I first met you, weren't you very brave? How could you be afraid?"

Zhang Feng smiled with understanding.

Seeing Anne in a daze, the queen did not say much. After all, Anne did not know much about business. If it were her, she would definitely buy clothes with all the gold coins. Even if it was difficult to get them, she would hire someone to get them. This would be hundreds of times the profit! Zhang Feng!

The cat-eared girl suddenly felt like crying, it was just a little bit slow, my little dried fish!

Zhang Feng touched the fox-eared girl’s head and expressed his sincere admiration.

Jenny seemed to have started the conversation. After Jenny and Kama, many other women came to Zhang Feng to chat. It was as if someone had set a time for them. Everyone chatted with Zhang Feng for almost the same amount of time. Everyone seemed to be reluctant to leave, but had to leave anyway.

The cat-eared girl tactfully brought a glass of beer to Zhang Feng. She had already immersed herself in her role.

Because he promised to buy something for the animal-eared woman, Zhang Feng parked the car in a corner, and then Abei called a few patrol soldiers to help guard it.

"How many?"

Those nobles would definitely not allow Zhang Feng to grow in power recklessly.

If there weren't people around, Zhang Feng would have tied her up and spanked her! "The dried fish is gone!"

She was surprised by these inexpensive and high-quality clothes at first, and now she also wants to surprise her mother.

"Of course, the smart Princess Anne would never make such a stupid mistake!"

It was just a casual complaint, but I didn't expect Abe to actually know it.

Unless Zhang Feng has an identity that none of them can afford to offend! And in Buck City, or the entire Buck Kingdom, there seem to be only a few people who can make these nobles afraid.

"I know, but I think I can still afford it."

“Start from here.”

Abe spoke quietly.

Zhang Feng always felt that there shouldn’t be such a superficial person.

Seeing the pouting cat-eared girl, Zhang Feng felt even happier.

Niujiao Niang was not interested in these things and said that she was going to Hongye Steam No. 1 to discuss some things with the lion beastman Felix.

The cat-eared girl immediately held Zhang Feng's arm and refused to let go.

Facing the queen's fiery eyes, Zhang Feng suddenly felt like running away.

The cat-eared girl looked on with envy. She envied the fox-eared girl for being praised, and also envied her strength.

"Okay, let's go find a place to live first."

Seeing that the beautiful lady in front of him was very polite, Zhang Feng nodded.

But the fox-eared girl said that the food in the palace was not tasty and it would be better to go shopping, so she refused. Zhang Feng didn't know why she knew the food was not tasty, and the wolf-eared girl was naturally dragged by the fox-eared girl to go shopping together.

"No, no, no, it's not that expensive!"

Although she was the queen, she was not the king after all, so it was impossible for her to use the gold coins in the national treasury. In fact, she did not have much gold in her own small treasury.

"Okay. A bunch of shallow women!"

Seeing Zhang Feng’s warm and sunny smile, Jenny felt her legs go a little weak, but she was also a person who followed the rules, so she could only hold it in and slowly disappear from Zhang Feng’s sight.

Abe pointed forward.

"…but they have money, power, and gold."

"Even if you can afford it, buying so much at once will definitely cause some trouble."

The queen was completely speechless.

Both human and beastman women are very interested in shopping.

The Queen simply ignored Anne's boasting and said in shock, "10 silver coins... How is this possible? The material of this cloth alone must cost more than 10 silver coins!"

“…”

Now that she has been in contact with Zhang Feng for a long time, she knows that Zhang Feng is quite a gentleman, and she is not as timid as before. The cat-eared girl would not dare to do such intimate actions before.

This is a three-story castle. The house is not big, but there is a large yard full of weeds. Zhang Feng likes it very much, after all, it is free!

In other words, the rules are set by the nobles, and what the rules say is up to them.

"No! Zhang Feng... Master~ Master, don't!"

"I mean, I may have bought too many stores..."

"Hey? Annie, who made this dress of yours? It's so beautiful!"

"Yes."

Listening to Abei's talk, Zhang Feng finally understood that those were actually older single women and young widows!

"Well, although it feels a little insufficient, it will do for now."

"Count Zhang Feng, this way, please follow me."

Feeling that the topic was getting boring, Zhang Feng coughed and changed the subject.

"One hundred pieces is a little too few..."

"I'll give you a small dried fish as a reward when I get back."

"Could it be 15 gold coins...it can't be just ten gold coins!"

Besides, what good would a dinner party be like with dried fish? But Zhang Feng didn't give her a chance to refuse.

Zhang Feng was going to try the snacks in the palace to see what the difference was between those in other places. They shouldn't be that bad, right? "Help me get a cake to try."

Looking at the somewhat naive Princess Anne, the queen shook her head. It was not just a little, it was a lot! You know, the queen had very high standards. If she thought something was worth dozens of gold coins, other nobles would definitely think it was worth it. If she could sell this dress that cost only dozens of silver coins to them, the profit would be hundreds of times!

"Are there still beggars in the capital?"

At first, he didn't feel anything, but as he listened, Zhang Feng discovered that almost all the industries here were monopolized by the nobles of Buck City! There were no independent businessmen at all. Even those who had returned from Red Leaf City before, those people from the Red Leaf Business Alliance, were backed by various nobles.

Abei knew what handsome meant. She wanted to refute it, but after staring at Zhang Feng, it seemed that she really couldn't refute it.

When Zhang Feng saw the queen, he was thinking about whether he should find an excuse to give her a small gift to make his presence felt in front of the queen.

Although Zhang Feng appeared calm on the surface, he was actually very curious. However, these women obviously wouldn't tell anyone, so Zhang Feng didn't ask them without any tact.

For people in their royal family, it is normal to buy a piece of clothing with dozens of gold coins, although with this price, one can buy a good war horse.

Speaking of which, Zhang Feng was originally planning to bring these animal-eared girls to the dinner together.

"Zhang Feng, how is it!"

The palace of the Buck Kingdom and the Buck City have the same style: tall, simple and full of charm.

A woman wearing a loose purple dress, with brown hair, brown eyes, and delicate features, walked over. Judging from her appearance, Zhang Feng estimated that she was around 27 or 28 years old.

"As long as the price you offer satisfies the other party, they will naturally not refuse."

“That’s amazing!”

Abei always felt that Zhang Feng was bragging.

After Abei brought Zhang Feng here, he left. Zhang Feng stretched out his hand. Although the cat-eared girl was very unhappy, she still gave her hand to Zhang Feng obediently. Zhang Feng led her left and right and found a corner where no one was.

In the end, Zhang Feng was left with only the cat-eared girl.

"Commercial center..."

Buck City, Royal Palace.

"whee!"

“These people are so scary!”

There were already quite a few people in the hall, both men and women. Whether it was my words and deeds or my clothes and appearance, I was telling everyone all the time that I was a gentleman and a lady.

阿贝没有回头,但是仅凭这三言两语,她也知道发生了什么事,她有些无语地瞥了张枫一眼,以前怎么没发现,张枫这么喜欢欺负小女孩呢!以后得告诉安妮公主一声,让她小心点这个张枫! 王宫很大,阿贝带着两人七拐八拐,来到了一处金碧辉煌的大殿。

“真是10枚——等等,银币?安妮公主,你确定你没有说错吗?”

刚想到王后,就看见精心打扮一番的王后和安妮公主一起,在一群贵族的簇拥下,款款走来。

虽然晚宴还没有正式开始,但已经有餐前点心上来了。

“……我的红叶城就没有……”

“嗯?那感情好,是哪里?”

但是他们一来,这些耳朵、眼睛都很灵敏的贵族,一下子就发现了张枫。

“好!”

对于双方来说,这算是双赢。

……

用狼耳娘的话说,出门在外,猫耳娘就是张枫的人,不能给张枫丢人!

阿贝虽然不会做生意,但是这些基本的事情还是知道的,张枫一下子这么大手笔,还是一个外来人,肯定会引起注意,甚至遭遇一些麻烦。

对于这种场面,张枫虽然也是第一次经历,但是并没有什么不适,他暗暗地把那些对他有敌意,对猫耳娘有占有欲的人记在了小本本上。

其实在贝克王国,或者说在这个世界,商业一直都有,但一直都没有被重视。

“哼!”

但是被张枫拒绝了,仆人什么的,说实话,张枫不放心别人给的,再说自己也就停留不了几天,就没必要了。

而这段时间,除了源源不断的美女前来之外,张枫收获了无数男士杀人般的眼神,这让她很费解。

……

而且这个款式更加地符合王后的审美,本来她并不觉得自己的衣服丑,但是今天看了张枫他们穿的衣服,又看到安妮的衣服,瞬间有点觉得自己的钱花得有些不值了。

这个地方离商业中心不是很远,最开始是一个伯爵的家,后来伯爵死后,家里人不争气,爵位一代不如一代,现在都成男爵了,这里他们已经住不起了,就被回收了。

“母后大人。”

尤其是看着委委屈屈的猫耳娘,张枫总有种难以表达的愉悦感。

很快,好像有哪位大人物到了,很多贵族都走出去迎接了,张枫这才得以松口气。

猫耳娘感知很敏锐,她下意识地抓着张枫的手,默默躲在张枫身后。

张枫乘坐的小蒸汽汽车一路上引起了无数人的围观,对此,张枫也没有办法,不过反过来想,也算是一件好事,张枫估计最多三天,他们的消息,肯定会传遍巴克城。

“不错!”

王后给张枫配备的仆人还没有来,阿贝本想让张枫等等仆人来打扫。

看到安妮的粉色衣服,王后也顾不得欣赏自己美丽的容颜了,她放下小镜子,向着安妮招了招手。

“不会吧,不会吧……难道王后对我也有那个意思?那我是答应呢?还是答应呢——呸呸呸!答应个锤子啊!国王知道了,怕不是整个巴克王国都容不下我了!”

“而且,我这衣服还不是最便宜的,最便宜的一枚银币就能买到,不过那样式我不喜欢,就没有穿。”

张枫还是第一次见到异界的王宫。

他是想在巴克城找个大腿抱着,能放心地在和做些小生意,但是张枫可没打算把自己搭进去。

“这我就不知道了,反正就是10枚银币,而且张枫那么精明,肯定是能赚钱的!”

走到哪儿都被人关注,时间长了,狐耳娘也受不了,她顿时没有了兴致。

毕竟这是关系到自己切身利益的事情,没人会让步。

只是喊了两声,发现猫耳娘竟然陷入了发呆。

“你知道城里最繁华的商业中心在哪吗?”

王后听完安妮的话,久久无言。

对方立刻接着问道:

“1枚银币……”

张枫有些不好意思。

甚至猫耳娘在想,以后是不是也要晒一些小鱼干……不过这都是以后的事情了,现在得赶紧把张枫这位大爷伺候好!

“……”

现在没想到张枫竟然连裁缝生意都有。

这种实力,是她需要仰望的存在,她不明白,明明都差不多大,为什么狐耳娘这么厉害呢! 牛角娘同样很惊叹狐耳娘的实力,但她可不会表现出来,毕竟上一次被狐耳娘欺负的情景还历历在目。

张枫问向阿贝。

整个王宫其实就是一个巨大的城堡,光看面积可能和莫尔城的那片城主府一样大,但是这可比莫尔城城主府精致,漂亮多了。

安妮连连摇头。

“……你,不会是想买下这一条街吧!”

“张枫男爵你好,我叫卡玛……”

张枫暂时没有搞清楚对方有什么目的,但看着对方这么有礼貌的份上,张枫也不介意和她扯两句。

“嘻嘻,这套衣服我只花了10枚银币!”

跟在张枫身边久了,阿贝对于张枫这种,时不时冒出的新名词,已经见怪不怪且能理解了。

“因为每次国王举办宴会,都会有很多的贵族到来,有早已经结婚的,有失去了丈夫或者妻子的,也有很多一直单身的,那些单身贵族就把目光放在了其他单人的人身上,毕竟能参加国王宴会的,身世背景什么的,已经经过筛选了,剩下的就看双方能不能满意了……”

阿贝有些奇怪地反问道: “王都难道不应该有乞丐吗?”

“皇宫真大!”

虽然只是一个小规模的晚宴,但是再小,那也是国王亲自举办的,自然不能草草了事。

今天关于兽人进城的消息很多人都知道了,本来他们也没有当一回事,毕竟兽人什么的,他们又不是没有经过,甚至都滚过床单呢! 但是这个漂亮的年轻猫兽人,他们很少或者说,根本都没有见过。

呼~ 不想不知道,一想吓一跳! “安妮,你有多少这种衣服?”

张枫也终于知道,上次迪莉娅说王宫用了二百年才建成,不是浪得虚名的!

“奖励的小鱼干扣除!”

而张枫还没搞懂对方这是什么意思呢,又一个漂亮的女人走到张枫面前。

“嗯……啊不,喜欢喜欢!”

一处豪华的宫殿里,王后看着手里的小镜子,有些爱不释手。

张枫这明显是不想把打扰,但是没想到还是有些人来了,而更没想到的是,这些人竟然都是那些漂亮的贵妇人! “你好,请问你是张枫男爵吗?”

还好张枫没有告诉狼耳娘,这是女仆装。

“我明白,暂时先不买,看看再说。”

不过这也激起了她的不服,牛角娘默默地拿起拖把,推开落了一层灰的门。

众人下意识地开口,无论是打扮,还是长相,猫耳娘完全能当得上漂亮二字。

“张枫伯爵,你很受欢迎。”

对于兽人,巴克城的人很好奇,他们也只是听说过,但真正见到还是第一次,要不是阿贝这个金光闪闪的皇家骑士在一边,恐怕他们也会受到围观。

“北方啊,现在和这里差不多,多是雪,不过北方更冷,河面上的冰层也更厚……”

安妮有些得意地跟王后开口。

就算是国王,也不可能随意用国库里的金币,不然那些大臣知道了,肯定会没完没了的。

张枫笑着说道。

然后张枫就感觉眼前出现一道道幻影,等再次开到狐耳娘的时候,院子的杂草被整整齐齐地迭放在一起,地面也是平平整整,要不是刚刚亲眼看见过,张枫都不敢相信。

瞬间,一道道的目光都落在了猫耳娘的身边。

张枫点点头。

看起来商人好像很倒霉,但其实不然。

再说,要抱大腿,就得抱最粗的那根,这些热情的美女们,显然和张枫心目中的人选有些差距,比如王后就很不错。

得到夸奖,狐耳娘顿时眯起了眼睛。

“咕噜~”

有人友好地对张枫笑了笑,也有人不屑一顾,更有人直接忽视了张枫,直接看向猫耳娘,毫不掩饰自己的欲望。

如果大家都是商人的话,那张枫就没有什么好怕的,只要在规则之内行事,没人能奈何的了张枫。

“这衣服也是张枫的生意?”

这里可是巴克城生意最好的地方,在这里买下一条街,那价格,绝对是天价!

张枫脸上冷漠,心中却是差掉笑出声来。

于是,商人和贵族之间的关系,也就比较复杂了。

But this has nothing to do with Zhang Feng. He just plans to take the cat-eared girl and sit down in a corner.

PS: It’s a big chapter of 8,000 words, making up for what I owe for many days!

I was unlucky yesterday. I arrived at my house, just after paying and getting off the car, and before I could even pick up my suitcase, the taxi driver whizzed away... I didn't expect that the other party would just drive away. I thought he would stop if I shouted twice, so I didn't have time to remember the license plate number...

The luggage in the car is not very valuable, but the keyboard that I use most conveniently is in the box...

After calling the police, the police uncle kept calling and the police lady patiently checked the surveillance. After a busy day, we finally found the driver today and got our luggage back. I am very grateful to the police uncle and police lady!

Give a thumbs up to the people’s police!
