I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

Dave listened to the manager chatting a lot. The ale on the food stall was cloudy and bland, which is the most familiar taste for adventurers. The bread was rough and dry, so it needed to be eaten with oily meat, but the meat on the food stall Mostly it is a meat sauce made from small pieces of minced meat and vegetables. If you want to enjoy the pleasure of eating meat, you have to bring the meat to the food stand for cooking.

There are also stalls selling meat here. The market is not only a business place for adventurers, but also a place for butchers and craftsmen to do business. They have their own area to gather and set up stalls to accept entrustments from adventurers and merchants.

The amount of goods swallowed by the merchants is very small, the climate is warm in spring, and there are no conditions for long-term storage of monster corpses, so the prey brought down by adventurers from the mountains must be sent to butchers and craftsmen for basic treatment, and then sold to merchants.

This is the best time of the year for artisans. Adventurers will continuously send all kinds of monsters, big and small. They split the monsters into pieces just like in a processing factory. Different parts are roughly processed into various raw materials. At the same time, some merchants will give some of the purchased rough processed materials to the craftsmen for secondary processing, and leave directly with the finished products that can be sold.

The prices and tax rates in Velvetre are very impressive. The processing fees of craftsmen here are only about half of those in big cities, which can keep costs down a lot.

It’s just that the craftsmanship and aesthetics of local craftsmen in the countryside are the same. It’s not a problem to make common small things. If you need to make more elaborate and large-scale customized products, the design level of the craftsmen here is not enough.

Most of the orders for high-end luxury goods are for merchants to purchase preliminarily processed high-quality Warcraft materials from adventurers here, and then take a boat down the White River to go to a big city like Sovina City to find a good craftsman workshop for processing. .

The meat sold by the butchers is basically monster meat hunted by adventurers. Fresh meat is not easy to preserve and the shipments of adventurers are not enough for wholesale. Unless it is rare high-level monster or meat with medicinal value, it will be far away The merchants who rushed over rarely bought animal meat.

Usually the meat adventurers of the prey will keep some of it for themselves, and then sell it to the local chamber of commerce at an average price, and sell the rest at the butcher's stall. At this time, the price of meat will be lower than usual, and there is some spare money nearby. People from all walks of life will come to have a look around, and say that they will go back and improve their food.

Squires, officials, local businessmen, all kinds of people will appear in the market, and the merchants will bring a lot of fresh groceries from the south when they come, and they will also take advantage of this opportunity to make a small profit by displaying them.

There are also adventurers like Dave who have just arrived and have not had time to hunt. When they need it, they will go to the stall to pick a few good pieces of meat, and send them to the restaurant to make steak, barbecue or broth. I will buy some fine wine brewed in the manor, and put it on the table with mixed salad and mixed vegetable soup. It is a very decent meal in the gathering place.

Dave used this to learn about the situation in the area where the craftsmen are located in advance. Compared with the past where the craftsmen were scattered in various gathering places, it was difficult to find one by one in each gathering place. The artisans in this market live very well. Close to, along the horizontal path that divides the artisan area and the trading area, several rows of tents are erected vertically. Butchers live in a row, cobblers live next to each other, and the entrance of each row is marked with the type of work and business scope here. , no matter what kind of craftsman you want to find, you can find it by walking along the path.

In order to make it easier for people living here to find their way, every small road in the market is named and clearly marked on the map. There are also signs with the name of the road in the middle of the road and at the intersection. Just compare the road signs and the map. You can move freely in this market.

The street sign was a public facility that Lucien added to the market—he suddenly realized that he hadn’t noticed the lack of such a thing on the road when he checked the construction of Velvet’s road. After all, for people in modern society Speaking of roads and street signs are supporting products, there should be street signs on the road, and there is no need for additional instructions.

However, the fact is that this world perfectly abides by the setting of the Middle Ages in this respect, and there is no such thing as street signs. The only road nameplate with a similar function is the supporting decoration of the emperor's exclusive road at the main entrance of the imperial palace. Sex is more about symbolism.

Lucien vaguely remembered where he had seen it. Because the existence of street signs destroyed the situation that "only locals can find the way", many locals felt a sense of crisis that their territories had been violated. Therefore, when street signs first appeared in the Middle Ages From time to time, people would secretly paint and damage street signs, and even a profession responsible for guarding street signs was derived from this.

Referring to the historical experience of the previous world, Lucien only proposed to set up street signs on public roads and inside the bazaar.No one has any opinion on setting up a street sign inside the market. The easier it is to find the way to do business, the better. However, the street sign on the public road has tossed Lucien a lot of work, and he almost had to hold a banquet to invite the manor Let's have a "good" chat.

"There's no way around this." Dalton shrugged, knowing the tricks of noble manors clearly, "many manors are built there to prevent people from finding them, and there is a street sign saying [Noble Manor ahead], whatever you want Anyone can see it, and they feel the family dignity has been offended."

To put it more clearly, there are many stink problems, and I feel that the land of my manor is sacred and inviolable, and I can't even put up a sign outside.

Therefore, in the end, there were only a few manors marked on the road signs, and they did not point to the main entrance of the manor.

Since it's not free now, don't blame Lucien for raising the price in the future.

These behind-the-scenes stories, of course, have nothing to do with Dave, an ordinary adventurer.

He just lamented the convenience of the street signs, and then rented a tent in the residential area to settle down. After putting away his luggage, he took his identity papers and money bags and went to the booth set up by the trade union to register in line. The Adventure Permit issued by the Ministry of Agriculture - only with this permit is it legal to hunt, otherwise you will be prosecuted for illegal poaching and tax evasion, and you will be caught and spent three to five months in prison.

Dave plans to complete all the formalities today, pay the taxes that should be paid, and recruit two companions to go up the mountain together in the residential area tomorrow, and then see if he can find Hall as a guide up the mountain, so that the road will be safer and more secure. And with Hall as a guide, it is easier to find the traces of Warcraft.

……

When the market at the foot of the Moon Mountains gradually became lively, the basil flower fields in the basil manor gradually changed from light blue to the color of hydrangeas, and a blue-purple sea spread out under the sun.

And Lucien finally took some free time from the endless documents and meetings to carry out his long-awaited outing plan.

Boom boom boom!

Issy!come out and play!

"So...why are we going?" Ned questioned Issey soulfully while doing the final count of supplies before departure.

Izzy replied without thinking: "Because he gave the money."

Give back a lot.

"I see." Ned got a number out of Izzy's mouth and nodded in satisfaction, "Then it's no problem."

It's a good thing to make a fortune before leaving.

Izzy nodded in agreement, and said, "It's just a matter of time to show him our new member, I think he should like Locke very much."

As he spoke, he looked sideways at the young man sitting next to him, who smiled innocently with his chin propped up, "Eh—is that so?"

He is different from Issy, his eyebrows and eyes are so exquisite that people can't distinguish the beauty of men and women, his silver hair is soft and braided into delicate braids, and his golden eyes are always filled with soft and bright smiles, perfectly combining the wildness and cruelty that are common in Hall. Air transformed into endearing liveliness.

It's like a lazy and coquettish cat on a lady's lap. Knowing that he has sharp teeth and claws, he will be fooled by his cute appearance.

Well, that is to say, cats and cats similar to Lucien.Yixi brainstormed the cute scenes of the cat stickers, and felt that he was very good.

"Well, he likes good-looking ones." Izzy confirmed his judgment again.

"That's it!" Locke laughed, fiddled with the ends of his hair and said, "Then I'm really looking forward to it!"

"...Yeah." Ned swallowed a sigh, and echoed, "It would be great if it could be like that."

He thought that his captain must have never heard the old saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

Cats and cats that are too similar will only repel each other with the same sex, scratching the cat hair all over the floor.

There are no cat stickers or anything.

The actual situation did not exceed Ned's expectations. Although Lucien did not express any personal emotions to Locke, and Locke only followed the normal procedure to meet the lord, the two of them only exchanged less than three sentences. It is hard to create the coolness of the cold current in the warm spring, which makes people shiver with cold back in various senses.

"Let's go over there and have a look first." Ned grabbed Locke's shoulders and pulled him in the other direction irresistibly, while winking at the other teammates who made the background board, "Talk to the captain slowly."

Locke was embraced by him, and he struggled dissatisfiedly. His appearance was soft and his stature was shorter than his peers. It's like having an opinion.

He could have any opinion on the lord he met for the first time, and it wasn't because there was a hole in his head.

Locke just had an intuition that cats and cats attract, and realized that Lucien's interest in Issy was not just as shallow and simple as his companions thought, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances at this lord with peculiar aesthetics That's all, my lord.

Didn't you find that after the lord confirmed that he had no interest in Issy, the atmosphere instantly warmed up to the warmth of spring, and you didn't get that extra attention?

Locke pursed his lips, turned his back and grabbed Ned's collar and strode forward, and at the same time straightened the other's head, which was about to turn away secretly to peek at the situation.

what to see!

Is it nice for two men to kiss? !
