Chapter 211 211. Spice
When Evelyn is not around, An Ke is the strongest.
Because of her martial arts-obsessed personality, her orc identity did not cause fear in others. Besides, she was Mossof's wife. Lovi led his men back to Fulin Castle, looking at the blue sky and white clouds floating in the sky.
It feels like the women are practicing diligently, while the men are wasting their time. I don’t know when my mother Evelin, who has been away for more than half a year, will be back.
Far away in the Central Continent, on the Golden East Coast.
The Evelyn, fully loaded with supplies, set sail.
Having stayed here for more than a quarter, Evelin honestly didn’t want to go back now.
But, my granddaughter is already one year old! She must be there. When the time comes, I will have to go to Morning Light City, Evelin thought to herself. Before entering the other world, she looked towards the Central Continent with a nostalgic look.
This place is like the legendary Garden of Eden.
The East Continent is like hell. A few months ago, when she first came to Shouan City on the east coast of the environment, she was shocked by everything here.
It’s incredibly prosperous here!
The wide and clean streets are full of pedestrians, and the population is well over one million.
The houses were tall, each with at least five floors, and usually seven. Fulin Castle was just an ugly, inconspicuous building in Shouan City, with nothing worth mentioning.
It is said that the houses here are not built by manpower, but by spellcasters using earth guards.
Rocks can blend into one.
In the restaurant, there were delicacies from various continents, and she kept tasting different dishes over the course of several months before she finished eating them all.
It is worth mentioning that the seasonings and spices here are quite unique.
There is a very spicy plant that is used to make hot pot soup base. Evelyn particularly likes it and bought a lot of it.
If Lowe were there, he would definitely recognize the chili peppers, as well as cumin and other spices . Put aside your appetite.
The products of Evelyn were also very popular. The mirrors were booked out by the City Lord's Mansion at a very high price.
Perfumes and spirits are also popular.
It is worth mentioning that the reputation of breaking the alcohol limit has spread here.
Many martial artists come here to buy it.
With a group of people achieving breakthroughs, the reputation of the limit-breaking wine spread widely, and the equally effective Harvest wine also sold well.
Evelyn made so much money that she thought she could buy another Evelyn with just a few trips back and forth.
The sales of glass products and porcelain were average, perhaps because the prices were too high.
Common people cannot afford it, nobles do not have such a great demand, and their fame has not yet spread.
They didn't bring much of the snow-white paper. Thinking that the relevant technology already existed here, Evelyn gave a lower price out of friendship and it was directly purchased by the City Lord's Mansion.
The sugar was packed in glass jars and sold in bundles, but it was unsalable and became inventory.
After some inquiries, I learned that there are seasonings that can replace white sugar, such as artificial breeding of bees and planting of a kind of sweet grass.
They also have the technology to boil brown sugar from sugar cane, but because the soil here is not suitable for growing sugar cane, it needs to be imported from other continents. In addition, the appearance of brown sugar is not good, and small-scale production is too troublesome, so the technology has never been further developed. It remains at the level of high-priced brown sugar and has not been taken seriously.
In terms of diplomacy.
On the day she arrived at Shou'an City, Evelyn was received by the Seventh Princess.
Although there is a gap in their identities, due to their identities as Sanctuary spellcasters and the particularity of the Free Territory, the two are in a position of equal communication.
A powerful Saint who can only be found once in a million people is an absolute VIP in Shouan City and is highly respected.
The Seventh Princess Eliza herself was a spellcaster who had entered the legendary realm halfway. She was well-educated and could answer questions and solve problems for people.
Evelyn simply accepted the invitation to stay in the City Lord's Mansion, mainly because she coveted those books.
Also, the patent application process is very troublesome. It usually takes about a year, and I didn’t hear that the scope of the patent was determined until I applied.
Recalling the scenes during this period, Evelin felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.
At first you may think this city is great, but after you get used to it, you will find it’s nothing special.
The class division is obvious, as if ordinary people and spellcasters are two completely different creatures.
Class barriers were almost insurmountable.
Ordinary people can practice martial arts, but the management is very strict. If a martial artist commits a crime, he will be expelled. A gentle ecological environment. Plenty of food, plus no dangerous beasts.
As a result, the proportion of people practicing martial arts here is far less than that in the East Continent.
That is to say, relying on the population base, a part of them will appear at the critical position.
"Master, we are about to enter the other world!" the ghost butler reminded.
“Very good.” Evelyn gathered her thoughts.
In the blink of an eye, it is mid-June and another half month has passed.
The wheat will mature in half a month, and the ears of wheat will gradually change from green to golden yellow.
The temperature this year is quite suitable, with the highest temperature just over 35 degrees, not as crazy as in previous years.
Citizens are keen on outdoor activities, and as soon as the hottest time at noon is over, the stadium will be crowded with people.
Watching football is normal, and betting on it naturally emerged, which attracted Lowe's attention.
The harm of gambling is self-evident, but should it be banned? He thinks it is unnecessary. Gambling is human nature and is difficult to control. Instead of suppressing it, it is better to set a bottom line.
Bankruptcy law! If a resident loses all his property due to gambling, or even has debts left, he can apply for bankruptcy at the Executive Office.
The debts of bankrupts will be written off and no one will be allowed to pursue them. Violators will be severely punished! "I think this decree is very good. It gives people a chance to start over and not fall into a desperate situation. However, there are still many problems."
"What's the problem?"
"Those who borrow money will be dissatisfied. Generally, in this case, the debtor will become a slave to pay off the debt."
"If you have the ability to borrow money, then you won't have any problems surviving. Borrowing money is risky, and I don't advocate any non-governmental organization lending money to individuals."
“Everyone needs money sometimes.”
"If it's just a small amount of money for survival, you can get an advance from Fulinbao Bank in the future, and then we will arrange a job for you."
"What is a bank?" Lodel asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"A bank is a place where you store money. You can think of it as having the same function as a granary, but it stores coins." Lowe thought about how to explain it in more detail.
"Why should I keep my money in a bank when I can just hold it in my own hands? Why not call it a gold bank or a money vault?"
Lodel's series of questions immediately confused Lovey, and he didn't know which one to answer first.
With large units like Jinlong, it is more convenient for merchants to carry payments for goods, and there is no need to use banks for turnover.
Ordinary people obviously won't keep their money anywhere else, so why not keep it at home? Do they get interest?
At this stage, the conditions for financial operations are lacking.
Besides, hiring bank guards and staff is also a huge expense, so it’s good enough that they don’t lose money!
