At noon, the door of the Hongye Restaurant was closed. It had not officially opened yet, but quite a few people had already arrived.

There are civilians, merchants, and some explorers dressed in strange clothes.

"What kind of food does the city lord's restaurant sell?"

Some people were whispering to each other.

"It should be black bread, but it must be black bread without any crumbs mixed in!"

There were no restaurants in Hongye City before, only a shabby tavern. In addition to selling beer, the tavern also sold some black bread. The beer was mixed with water, and the bread was mixed with sawdust. Everyone was used to it.

But the Lord Mayor wouldn't use black bread mixed with sawdust, right?

Valen also deeply felt the same way. Civil servants in Hongye City are not a single profession, but a general term for a number of professions working for the City Lord's Mansion or City Hall.

"White bread is food that only nobles can eat. It..."

"Uh, what is white bread? Is there white bread?"

Valen smiled self-deprecatingly. It wasn't that he was reluctant to part with these copper coins, but he was very upset by this kind of discriminatory treatment. Valen decided that he must get a permanent resident status in Hongye City during this period of time! ...

They are not stupid. If they can buy refined salt and white sugar in Hongye City once, they can definitely buy them a second time. Even if they can't buy them now, there will definitely be opportunities in the future.

"But speaking of this civil servant, it's really an enviable profession!"

"Oh, me too, I thought I was the only one who had this thought!"

The residents began to communicate.

“Same here!”

After a few days of operations, they have already sold some of the goods purchased from Hongye City.

Terry was a little surprised.

While everyone was chatting, a rich fragrance slowly drifted out from the crack in the door.

They may have lived in Red Leaf City all their lives and never seen the outside world. Their daily food is black bread, and they may eat some meat occasionally, but they have never seen anything else.

Valen had bought a lot of things at the auction, and he thought Valen would go to the capital to manage his things! Unexpectedly, they met again in Hongye City.

After a tense exchange of words, Terry whispered:

"What kind of food do you think the city lord will sell in this restaurant this time? Will it be..."

"I don't think it's bread. I heard from a relative of mine who is a guard in Hongye City that the food the city lord and his men eat is different from ours. As for what's different, I don't know, but it must be food unique to the nobility. So I think this restaurant is very likely related to the city lord's food!"

Valen said with a smile.

Hearing Valen's words, Terry shook his head helplessly.

They really wanted the food sold in this restaurant to be of afternoon tea quality, but they felt that was a little impossible.

“Who says it’s not?”

But now they don’t think so. This is not only about saving money, but also about showing off in front of outsiders!

"It shouldn't be. You know how precious the food we ate before was. Now this restaurant is offering free tastings to civil servants in Hongye City, and you can eat as much as you want. If this is the kind of food we ate last time, I'm afraid the city lord won't be able to afford it!"

"I didn't expect that the city lord would not allow outsiders to join Hongye City for the time being. The household registration in Hongye City is so strict, and outsiders who want to live in Hongye City need to apply for a temporary residence permit. Holding this temporary residence permit, I always feel inferior..."

"Haha, Terry, you've also returned to Red Leaf City!"

Terry's eyes flickered a little, and when their eyes met, there was a spark.

Terry shook his head with some regret.

"Hey? Can outsiders like us only buy it at full price?"

"However, although I envy you, I still have my own business to run, so it is naturally impossible for me to apply for a civil servant position. However, I am still very interested in the identity of 'official resident of Hongye City'. Unfortunately..."

"Of course, sir, you are not a resident of our Red Leaf City, so you can only buy it at the original price!"

The two thought about it, but couldn't guess what Zhang Feng was up to. However, there was no need to worry too much about it. They would know when the restaurant door opened.

But since we have encountered it, we can't pretend not to see it. Maybe we can cooperate in the future. After all, we are businessmen and profits come first.

After all, in their opinion, Zhang Feng’s afternoon tea had a very high cost, and even if he was a very wealthy nobleman, he could have an unlimited supply.

“…”

Valen Natural Way What did Terry say, he shook his head and said:

“First of all, we can rule out rye bread!”

After hearing what the Red Leaf City resident said, someone exclaimed, "Is it white bread?"

"What's that smell? Is it meat?"

“It smells so good!”

The fact that they are willing to come to this desolate place again when winter is approaching shows that the amount of gold coins they earn is definitely not a small amount.

"I'm a civil servant. I can't wait. I must eat enough today!"

Although Hongye City is geographically remote, the salary for civil servants here is very high, especially compared with other cities under the Sunset Mountains, which is several times or even dozens of times higher! And this is just the salary. For example, the benefits today, civil servants can eat for free at Hongye Restaurant. Even if they only eat black bread, it is still a huge profit!

Both of them are businessmen of equal strength, so they are naturally in a competitive relationship. To be honest, neither of them is very willing to see each other.

Last time, Zhang Feng held an afternoon tea before the auction started. The taste of that afternoon tea is still unforgettable to those who have had it.

Someone answered him with his chest puffed out.

"Not really. I've eaten pork and venison, but none of them smelled this good..."

If Zhang Feng were here, he would be able to recognize that these people were the businessmen who attended the auction a few days ago.

Originally, the original residents of Hongye City thought that buying at half price was just a way to save money.

In addition to these residents, the businessmen also gathered in a circle, whispering to each other.

If you can stay in Hongye City forever, you will have an advantage over other businessmen!

"Valen, I didn't expect you to return to Red Leaf City?"

asked an explorer dressed in strange clothes and drooling.

Boom! The restaurant door finally opened.

A fresh and fragrant smell instantly wafted from the restaurant.

Gurgle~ Everyone swallowed subconsciously.
