City: Hilarious Commercial Street

Chapter 319. 319. The Road to the Great Empire

"How about it?"

Under the expectant eyes of the old prophet and others, Li Fei picked up the chopsticks, poked a hot dog and ate it, and took another mouthful of soup.

Li Fei frowned, smacked his mouth, then picked up the dried chili in a cup on the table, grabbed a handful with his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although all the orcs really wanted to give Li Fei a thumbs up for using their orc traditions instead of using chopsticks.

But his abnormal behavior shows that there is indeed something wrong with Mala Tang.

After taking a big mouthful of dried chili, Li Fei, who didn't feel a bit of spiciness, shook his head, took the water and rinsed his palms, feeling disgusted at the same time.

"You guys want to supply chili peppers by yourself. I can't say that this is not a good practice, but that Malatang is not spicy, but only hot. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Wife cakes without wives, that's a matter of cost"

"Ma La Tang is only hot, so it's not a matter of cost, but a problem with the brain"

"You can use the chili from outside"

"Otherwise, only Cantonese can eat this stuff."

The quality of the chili was dissed like this, and the old prophet was a little unconvinced. This is a high-end product shipped from the south!

Do you know what magical effect this chili will have if you eat it?
Seeing Li Fei whose face gradually turned pale, the old prophet broke out in a cold sweat.

Ruined!
Just now I was thinking about splashing monkeys!

boom!
Li Fei fell off the bench, and the world in front of him began to revolve around him. The coming sunset was replaced by darkness, and thousands of stars danced wildly like a revolving lantern.

For a moment, Li Fei couldn't tell which was the reality and which was the illusory world.

He just felt very comfortable all over his body.

The feeling that all the pores are fully open and the breeze keeps blowing from the top of the head to the bottom of the feet makes him feel like soaking in the hot spring.

But there was an annoying voice that kept ringing in his ears.

"Li Fei! Be sober! Be sober!"

"Quick, quick! Get water! Give him a drink!"

Li Fei, who had lost all mobility, felt his mouth being roughly opened, and cold water was being poured into his mouth.

At this time, the world in front of his eyes changed from stars to deep sea.

It was an underwater world deeper than the sea level where Elaine was. It was so dark that he couldn't see anything, he could only hear his own rhythmic heartbeat.

This lasted for a full 15 minutes, and the darkness disappeared from the eyes.

Like a drowning person on the shore, Li Fei, whose upper body was covered with water, sat up from the grass, his eyes filled with horror.

Taking deep breaths, he pointed at the old prophet with his trembling right hand. After his breathing stabilized, he asked, "What the hell is this? It's definitely not pepper!"

The old prophet: "This is chili, but our chili is generally used for sacrifices."

The old prophet's weak explanation made Li Fei almost spray his old blood on his face.

Chili peppers used for sacrifices by primitive tribes?

Isn't this thing different from those so-called chemical substances used to communicate with all things in the world?

you you.
Li Fei took a few deep breaths again.

Considering that the Great Sage is still acting as a demon on the grassland, I'd better not worry about this thing.

Anyway, that kind of wonderful experience, I also experienced it myself.

"Okay! This thing can't be used! Use the peppers outside instead!"

After directly passing the orc's pepper, Li Fei went to a nearby water tank to wash his face, and when he came back refreshed, seven or eight orcs were calling to contact their suppliers of the orc food stall.

Just at this time, a certain orc uttered a foul language, and Li Fei heard it.

"what happened?"

Seeing Li Fei approaching, the orc explained, "They want to raise the price!"

The last time the wine merchant settled in advance, and now the supplier raised the price again, Li Fei was not reckless enough to take the phone call, and scolded the other party bloody.

Instead, he took the mobile phone as big as a brick and started chatting with the other party.

During this conversation, Li Fei looked at the orcs with strange eyes.

When the dwarves and the supermarket do business with the outside world, they usually collect money, or pay out gold and silver, to ensure that everyone benefits from it.

But the orcs, a group of stingy guys, actually used copper to settle the supplier's payment?
copper? !

Did you cross over by yourself?
Otherwise, you bastards, how can you use the raw materials of ancient common currency for settlement?
No wonder suppliers insist on raising prices.

Last month, when he came to settle the settlement, you directly threw a ton to him.

Although based on the market price of 69 tons, people have made at least half of it. After all, no matter how stretched copper is, it is also an industrial raw material and must be valuable.

But if you let the catering supplier use copper to offset the money, isn't this just an incentive for others?
"Okay, this matter is their fault. From today on, we will use currency, or we can settle with gold or silver, right?"

Suppliers who make money in harmony, got Li Fei's guarantee, so naturally they didn't mention the price increase anymore.

The two sides reconciled and hung up the phone. Li Fei told the matter to the old prophet, who blushed and said that the settlement would be settled in gold at the end of the month.

Then he ordered his subordinates to start thinking of ways to organize a small team and prepare to collect some gold.

【Since when have you been so stingy.】

Li Fei, who was a little puzzled, glanced at the herd of cattle in the distance, feeling that he must have guessed part of the truth.

The number of cattle may have been low enough to undermine sustainable development.

Buying cattle or sheep from other tribes is much more expensive than raising a calf or lamb.

Especially in this ghost place that is still playing with the tribal system, there is no unified transaction currency at all, and it is completely bartered.

It would be strange not to be slaughtered several times!
Thinking of this, Li Fei found the old prophet again, and after some questioning, after getting the answer he wanted, Li Fei said that this matter is actually not difficult to solve.

"Huh? Come and listen to me?"

"The lifeblood of grassland orcs is in the grass, right?"

The old prophet who understood what Li Fei was going to say next, shook his head and said that this is not possible, he would rather send a team of hundreds of people to a distant place to find a way to collect gold.

He will never trade those things that can make pasture grow fast and densely for cattle and sheep.

But Li Fei has long been very dissatisfied with the tribal system with low production efficiency.

You group of orcs, in terms of skin color, are all green, and there are some differences in physique, and even use one type of writing.

Such a good opportunity, if you don’t get a centralized power, aren’t you making trouble?

Do you believe that orcs will never be slaves, unless they have food and shelter?
"Jamal, I think this matter, I have to find you a master of the great empire, come and give you a good lesson, let you know what is the joy of centralization"
