Fragrant! It smells so good!
"It's not the afternoon tea we had last time, but another kind of food of the same level!"
Varun exclaimed.
Terry swallowed and said excitedly:
"I can't wait!"
Even big businessmen who have seen the world are like this, let alone others.
"I've heard before that Hongye City has food that's as good as the food in the royal palace. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do!"
They may not be able to earn so many gold coins in several lifetimes, but the city lord did not even blink for his people! This was the first time they had met such a good city lord. You know, the previous city lords were always trying to increase various taxes every day and never considered their people!

"Can I eat fish? Fish tastes fishy. It's said to be the devil's food!"
"I would have applied for a half-temporary residence permit earlier. I thought it would be troublesome, but it seems like it won't make any difference whether I apply for it or not. Who knows..."
Valen was somewhat thankful that he had applied for a temporary residence permit, otherwise he would be like those foreign explorers, watching from a distance.
"Then please leave. Our Red Leaf Restaurant is open for trial operation today and is only open to certain people."
The soldiers saw that the team was almost complete and shouted, "Civil servants, come in!"
The restaurant is very large. The biggest difference between this restaurant and the previous tavern is that the windows have been enlarged a lot. The inside is very clean and bright, and there is ample space between the tables, making the restaurant look very spacious.
Hearing the soldier's words, there was an uproar.
Of course, in addition to Zhang Feng himself being recognized by everyone, there is another very important point.
"Because you are neither a formal resident of Hongye City nor have you obtained a temporary residence permit for Hongye City, you are not within the scope of our trial operation."
This fish is so delicious!
Especially those outsiders, they beat their chests and stamped their feet.
"You're welcome, everyone. Please enjoy!"
When the people around saw the explorer's situation, they began to whisper.
"No!"
They were unwilling to take out even a copper coin! So, although everyone still had some doubts about whether fish could be eaten, no one left. They all thought it was okay to give it a try, and they still had to give the city lord face.
"Hey, this is a restaurant opened by the city lord. Can our city lord still deceive us now?"
This policy is easy to understand. To put it simply, during this winter, the City Lord guarantees that all official residents of Hongye City will not starve to death!
After all, just smelling it can make people drool, so it must taste good!
"What's the meaning?"
But after seeing those big fish, everyone was a little confused.
What is most attractive is not the decoration style of the restaurant, but the delicious dishes on the table.
As for the residents of Hongye City, especially the civil servants, they were even more excited.
"It's too late. It will take two working days to produce a temporary residence permit!"
"Is this fish? Really? I ate it secretly before, and it didn't taste like this at all. Where is the fishy smell?"
"Everyone line up, don't cut in line! Civil servants first, followed by Hongye City residents, and finally outsiders with temporary residence permits!"
It sounds simple, but if you think about it carefully, this "small" action will cost the city lord at least several hundred gold coins!
Suddenly, these civil servants walked into the restaurant with excited faces.
"Why? Why let me leave!"
Five dishes, all fish! In Zhang Feng's opinion, these dishes did not require any technical skills. After all, he simply taught the method, and the chef who cooked the dishes was not himself.
“…”
Some outsiders said with drooling eyes.
You know, for these explorers, food is also a very important part of the adventure. It is really hard to accept the feeling of seeing delicious food in front of you but not being able to eat it.
This kind of food that makes people want to stop eating can actually be tasted for free? And it’s the kind that you can eat as much as you want! This is too cool! In the eyes of everyone's expectation, the door of Hongye Restaurant was finally fully opened.
Some explorers were unwilling to do so. They had been waiting here for a long time, but they were forced to queue at the back. How could they tolerate this?
"Why! I've been waiting for so long, why should I be the last one in line?"
“Wow! Delicious!”
The explorer felt a little uncomfortable now. He asked unwillingly:
Outside the restaurant, people who were still queuing at the door heard the various exclamations from inside the restaurant and wanted to fly in immediately, but the soldiers did not let them go, and they did not dare to force their way in. At this time, they felt as uncomfortable as if they were being scratched by a cat.
The soldier said expressionlessly.
A resident of Red Leaf City in the back laughed and sneered. Usually it was the outsiders who looked down on them, the natives, but now they could finally look down on others too!
A soldier spoke calmly to everyone. The reason he was calm was that they were the first soldiers to eat the fish and had already eaten their fill.
Everyone was eager to go in, but suddenly a group of soldiers came out of the door. Their shining swords made people dare not take even a step forward.
“Is this… a fish?”
"Is it too late to do it now?"
After listening to the soldier's words, the explorer's face was not very good, but he was still self-aware and did not make trouble. After all, the soldiers' swords were not fake.
The soldier looked at the explorer, whose attire was obviously different from that of the people in Red Leaf City, and asked in confusion, "Do you have a temporary residence permit for Red Leaf City?"
"ah?"
"this……"
Both visually and in taste.
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, someone immediately picked up the fork on the table and started.
Although we don’t eat fish, we occasionally catch one or two fish to feed our cats, so we know that fish have a lot of bones. It’s not that we don’t have to worry about the cats getting choked by fish bones.
In sharp contrast to them were naturally the people of Red Leaf City. An inexplicable sense of superiority suddenly emerged in their hearts, and everyone's chests were straightened a lot.
But for the residents of Hongye City who had never seen the world, this kind of fish with a lot of seasonings and side dishes had a strong impact on them.
Each dining table can seat four people, and there are five dishes on the table, namely: steamed fish, braised fish, boiled fish, pickled fish, and fish head soup.
"Never mind, let me eat first! I swear, this is the most delicious food I have ever eaten in my life!"
The explorer was a little confused.
Of course, just in case, Zhang Feng also prepared a lot of white vinegar.
"That's true. Anyone could harm us, but the City Lord won't! Zhang Feng announced a policy before - due to some twists and turns in Hongye City this year, many people are living in great difficulty. The City Lord is very concerned about everyone, so the City Lord paid out of his own pocket. Before this winter is over, every official resident of Hongye City can get enough black bread for one meal every day for free!
The explorer replied nonchalantly.
“It’s so delicious!”
"Official residents of Red Leaf City please enter, others please wait a moment!"
Zhang Feng was afraid that if there were too many of them and they rushed in at once, it would easily cause chaos and bring inconvenience to the restaurant's work, so he let people go in slowly in batches. This was also an opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of being a formal resident of Hongye City.
I believe that after today, a seed called identity will be planted in the hearts of many people.
