There are many middle-aged people in the noodle shop, and their children are the current and future beneficiaries, so when it comes to education and children's growth, and the lord who takes a fancy to personal abilities, he smiles.

Probably only a very small number of people will be a little dissatisfied.

Because in Silence, parents are guilty of beating their children to death and trafficking their children.These people feel stripped of some of their power as parents, such as the right to decide whether their children live or die.

Such people are rare, but there must be.

In fact, the law of Silent Land is relatively strict and meticulous. Parents will control their children's improper parenting, violence and infidelity between husband and wife, and abandonment and neglect of the elderly.In the beginning, people were sent to the door to warn, compensate, and reconcile. If you don’t change, or the circumstances are bad, then I’m sorry, you have committed a crime.

Crimes will be recorded and affect future work and selection.He himself will go to prison to receive labor re-education, and even, if the circumstances are particularly serious, he will be sentenced to death.

There is no such thing as aristocrats being exempted from punishment in the Silent Land, or rich people using money to atone for their crimes.

This made many men dissatisfied at the beginning, and part of their patriarchal and husband's rights were deprived.Now, however, not only are they used to it, but they have become advocates themselves.

One of the reasons is the brainwashing of wives, children, and old parents, which is a family factor.The second reason is that the Quiet leader doesn't value bloodlines and human relations, he only values ​​personal character and personal ability, which provides them with opportunities to rise, which is a career factor.

And then there's one more, because the food and wine at the Silent Colleagues is really delicious.

"Noodles with sauce, hamburgers, burritos, scones... and the small cakes, puddings, and biscuits that my children like most, and my wife loves them too." Another soldier also said: "I came here at the beginning I was still very worried at the time, but now my family doesn’t want to leave at all.”

The children are disciplined, the wife starts to do odd jobs to make money, and he is also making money. The old parents are well taken care of. As long as the family works hard, they can get delicious food and soft fabrics, and there is no pressure from the nobles. It is really a dream. place of residence in.

"You're right. At the beginning, the patriarch asked us to come, and the wife and children were not happy. Now it's all over. When I said I'd go back, everyone in the family was angry. The little boy in the family won an award at the Kite Festival a few days ago. It is a phoenix kite drawn by the lord himself."

The orcs who were still living in the tribal era don't want to go back at all. Those precarious days are like nightmares in retrospect.

Others in the store, including other races, joined the discussion.

The businessman silently watched everyone blowing from food to software and hardware for education, and then all the way to the lord who is strong externally and friendly internally.It even speaks of the lord's taste for good food, and of his lover—all in a kind tone.

It seems that the new lord of the Silent Territory is very popular.

The two guards who went to guard the goods returned and ate the remaining noodles and soup, and the merchants were ready to go.They found that the people in the store really fed the horses with fresh fodder, which added another layer of goodwill to this small shop.

This place is remote and remote, and the service is really good.If the purchasing power of the people here is not bad, it can be used as an alternative for the business path in the future.

The businessman liked the brown sauce just now, and if possible, he wanted to take some back.

The group even ate their horses to their satisfaction, and listened to gossip in the store for a long time without realizing the flow of time. When they went out to look at it now, they found that the sky was already dark, with only a ray of red clouds stubbornly locking in a little light.

The lanterns at the entrances of many shops were lit, with some characters written on them, and triangular flags swaying in the wind under the lights.

"People here actually use candles made of beeswax for lighting?" This extravagant behavior made the businessman stunned. In fact, only the outer lanterns are candles, and the inner ones are conventional torches, that is, pine wood coated with turpentine or other things. Wood with a high oil content.

That's amazing enough.

The most expensive Zhaoming tool in the outside world is the magic lamp, followed by candles, and then oil lamps and torches.I won’t introduce the magic lamp. Ordinary wealthy people don’t often eat magic stones.

Candles have always been popular because of their bright and stable light, but the material used to make them is beeswax.There is no such thing as bee breeding at the moment, beeswax is not easy to come by, and the candles that can be made are also a luxury.

Oil lamps use a kind of inedible oil, and the price is acceptable to ordinary small businessmen, but they are also used at home.The shops opened outside are closed at night, and if they have to be open, they use torches more.

A silver bell-like laughter came, "This is not a beeswax candle, but an ash tree candle, a specialty of our Silent Land."

This is a beautiful girl, wearing a white shirt and a dark red umbrella skirt, with lace-up boots on her feet.

The landscape on either side suddenly darkens, blurring into the background.

She has orange-red hair, tied into two braids, and two small butterfly-like ribbons fluttering, her skin is very fair, with a few cute youthful freckles, and a sweet face that loves to smile.

She carried a basket woven with colored silk thread, in which loaves of golden loaves peeked out, mostly covered by a lace handkerchief.

The businessman stared at her blankly, and because of her appearance, a round of bright moon came to his window.

"Are you a businessman from outside? We have a lot of ash trees planted in our house. There are many ordinary ash and scented candles with spices. The scented candles are a bit more expensive. They are suitable for worshiping ancestors and gods."

"White candles are much cheaper than beeswax candles. They are enough for daily use. They have soft grass wicks inside, which are not easy to extinguish and are bright. If you need them, you can buy them at my house."

The businessman looked at her without blinking, like a wooden figure.

In his world, flowers are flying, birds are singing, and green is spreading from his feet.The dew on the tip of the leaves rises and floats in the air, the bees and butterflies dance in the fragrance, the sun, moon and stars appear in the blue sky at the same time, everything is the most beautiful.

"Lilian, let's go." A little sister in front called her.

Seeing that the businessman didn't speak, the girl thought he was not interested, so she walked forward like a gust of fragrant wind blowing past the businessman.

"Miss!" The businessman said suddenly, his voice was a bit loud, which disturbed the passers-by.Regardless of the gazes of these people, he stared straight at the charming figure, "Miss, where is your home?"

The girl looked back and smiled, her long whip was flying, and the merchant's world was once again in full bloom and everything was revived.

"Fenglingyuan, you are looking for Grandma Wendy's house." After saying that, she smiled again and walked away.

The businessman didn't hear clearly, seeing the girl had already run away, he asked anxiously, "Where is it?"

"In Wind Bell Garden, Grandma Wendy's house." A passer-by answered his question.

"Lilian, what did that person ask you for just now?" the female companion asked Lilian.

"They seem to be businessmen from outside. I am introducing them to the candles at home. Grandma will be very happy if I can sell all the stock before the Chinese New Year." Lilian still remembered the incident when she was a child, so she recognized These people are businessmen.

15-year-old Lilian has already left school. Her family rented a piece of mountain land and planted ash trees. Their grandparents and grandchildren made candles at home.After a year of busy work, it is enough to eat and even save a little money.

Granny Wendy has been thinking about finding a son-in-law for her recently.The children will inherit their family's surname and write it down in the family tree——as they get older, Grandma Wendy pays more attention to the "family" thing.

It is also convenient to have a man at home.

The Tranquility collar stipulates that women can only get married and have babies after they are sixteen and men after eighteen.She is fifteen, and it is time to start seeing someone.

Although Lilian had slowly let go of her dream, she couldn't accept these rude and emotionless men in reality for a while.

"I'm so happy, I can stay at home." The female companion sighed, "I may go to someone else's house in the future. The family is already preparing a dowry, and I am also looking for a suitable partner. I really don't want to leave my house to go to someone else's house." Home."

Lilian comforted her, "Now it's popular to leave home after getting married. The situation is not as bad as you think. My situation is different. If I leave, grandma will have no one to take care of her."

"Fortunately, we are free citizens of the Silent Territory. If we are outside, no one will pay attention to women even if they are beaten to death by their husbands. Only here are laws specially enacted for women to protect women's safety and property."

The female companion also thought of this, and her fear of marriage seemed to become more serious, "If that's the case, I will not dare to marry even more."

Although they have only been here for three or four years, they can no longer accept the kind of life they had when they were young, and it is absolutely impossible for them to go back to the old life.

"However." The female companion suddenly thought of something, with a narrow smile, "Outside, it seems that the first time a newlywed bride belongs to the lord by default. If you don't like it, you have to spend money to redeem it. If it is In our place, there must be no woman who doesn't like it."

Lilian's face turned red all of a sudden, "Stop talking, it will be embarrassing for people to hear us."

Even if he has let go, the male god is still a male god, and his heart will still blush.

"I'm telling the truth. Do you think I don't know that those men who think they look good will deliberately rub themselves in front of the lord? I'm just dreaming, and I don't break the law."

She looked obsessed, "How can there be such a perfect person as our lord in this world? He is so handsome, gentle, considerate, rich, powerful and powerful, but he doesn't like girls. Ah, I am so unwilling!"

"Oh, stop talking." Lilian hurriedly covered her companion's mouth, "Let's go, it's getting dark, the family should be worried."

"Don't be afraid, the patrol team is here."

Fireflies like the Milky Way flew out of the grass by the roadside, and the two girls laughed and disappeared into the bright galaxy.

The businessman couldn't forget the girl who flew past him, but it was already dark, and no matter how tempted he was, he had to settle the accommodation problem first.

After asking several passers-by, the businessmen finally found the Golden Leaf Hotel before it was completely dark, and stayed there.

This is a small hotel that is not luxurious or luxurious, but clean and tidy, with little surprises in life everywhere.Same surprise as the street, the food, the people.

The staff are all dressed in uniform clothes, clean and beautiful, all of them are polite, like the children of nobles who have studied outside.Businessmen are afraid to speak to them loudly.

There is also a bath near it. Many single young people go to the bath to clean their bodies.Disposable small soap flakes were also sold in the bathhouse, and several merchants also bought them.

Yes, they couldn't wait to take a shower.

This soap flake is better than the ones he used outside, it cleans very thoroughly, the bubbles produced by rubbing are rich and abundant, and it also has a long-lasting fragrance.Each of them used two tablets to thoroughly wash their hair and body, and the hot water washed down was jet black.

"Ah, for the first time I've noticed that I've got pretty fair skin. This stuff is really nice, can I take some with me? I mean, we can take some back and sell them."

"I agree. It's really a good thing. I want to bring some to my friend. She will definitely like it."

The group of them walked out happily, with the scent of soap flakes floating on their bodies, like the scent of lemon mixed with the scent of some kind of flower, which made people feel refreshed.

The merchants were frugal, and the slaves crowded into the manger behind, and they themselves squeezed into a room of seven in a row.There is only one bed in a room, four of them are lying horizontally, and there are three more on the floor, all squeezed together bitterly.

Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with sleeping on the floor in this weather, but the service staff gave them an extra quilt a little bit unhappy.

Unexpectedly, there will be an extra quilt. The merchants ignored the bad faces of the waiters, and they were very happy. The service here is really considerate.

"It's really extravagant. They are all made of good cotton quilts, and the outside is also soft and new cotton." The businessman touched the quilt and said with experience: "Generally, the quilts of reed flowers in hotels or simply Packed some hay."

"Isn't it? Look at this quilt, which is fluffy and soft, so clean. The quilt must have just been washed and dried, otherwise how could it be so comfortable to cover? Hmm... I smell the sun."

"Aren't you still sleeping? Are you still studying the quilt?" A few people lying on the ground dissatisfied, they were already very tired and wanted to sleep.

"Hey, I can sleep well today. I took a bath and had a meal. It's really comfortable. Before we didn't take a bath, I didn't want to be close to you. Ouch, that smell is so good, it's like a pigsty."

"Then you are also a pig, the smelliest one!"

"All sleep!"

The merchants fought until late, so they got up late the next day.Fortunately, the doors of many breakfast shops are still open, so they don't have to suffer their stomachs to eat dry pancakes.After experiencing yesterday's food, they can't eat this stuff anymore.

In fact, the hotel also provides breakfast inside, the price is a little higher than outside, they think it is expensive.

The breakfast outside is richer and more varied, with a variety of tastes to choose from.

"Is this heaven?" Everyone closed their eyes and sniffed the mixed food smell in the air. If every day could start a new day with this smell, then the people in this territory would be so happy.

The merchants chose different foods according to their preferences, including burritos with sauce and lettuce, a bowl of hot vermicelli, steamed multigrain steamed buns...these are cheap and all vegetarian.There are also expensive ones, steamed buns with meat, fried dumplings, sandwiches with sausage and eggs...

In fact, it is already cheap, the meat outside is not as cheap as here, and merchants are only willing to eat a little meat occasionally.

There are too many things and too little money, and the difficulty of choosing comes to visit again.

"Why don't we each order one and eat instead?"

When everyone heard it, they all thought it was okay.

"Guest, do you want to add pig offal? One spoon is only three pennies. The recipe of the Lord's Mansion uses more than ten kinds of spices." The chef used a big spoon to scoop out a spoon full of brown pig offal, mushrooms and a lot of dried tofu. .Looking at the layer of oil on the top, I feel delicious, and the aroma is still so strong and overbearing.

The businessman glanced at the white, translucent and tasteless vermicelli in his bowl, and then looked at the intoxicated state of others eating the vermicelli with added ingredients, and said cruelly, "Add a spoonful."

Just once, just this once, he thought.

"Should I add sugar to the soy milk? Or add salt? It only costs a penny more to add ingredients, and the taste will be more delicious."

Is there even such a luxury as sugar?The businessman couldn't control his mouth: "Add sugar." Of course, sugar must be added, this is sweet sugar.

"Since there is soy milk, you must try the deep-fried dough sticks that go with soy milk. It's not expensive, it's only three copper coins for such a big one."

That’s right, now that there is soy milk, they should try the food that goes with it. They don’t eat like this every day, or they spend it extravagantly once in a while, “Then buy one.”

Add a spoonful of this, and a bowl of that, and the seven people ate dozens of coins without knowing it. The average is about ten coins per person, which is far beyond the three coins per person at the beginning.

The businessman silently clutches the purse.

The food in this place is delicious and expensive.

If they are full, they should do something down to business. If they don’t sell their things, they will have to beg and go home—because all the money is used for food.

However, the owner of the hotel told him: "Your sea goods, salt, sea vegetables, and seaweed, we have in the mushroom house, and the price is relatively cheap. Others, the price is a little higher, and some people like it, and they can be sold scattered. Some, but it’s not easy to sell all of them at once. Otherwise, you’d find someone from Mushroom House to buy them directly?”

"Mushroom house? Do you buy it directly from the lord?" The businessman's eyes lit up. He knew that the mushroom house was the lord's property. Of course, it would be profitable to do business directly with the lord.

"Yes, you go to the Mushroom House to find Miss Betty, she is in charge of this."

"What, what? You still use women as managers here?" The businessman was very surprised.It was the first time he had heard of such a thing.Although I vaguely feel that the women here are different, it is still unexpected that they can become managers under the lord and be recognized by others.

The shop owner was a little unhappy, "Is it strange? My daughter is also in management. She stands out among dozens of people. She is excellent. Here, it doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman with noble blood, as long as you are excellent."

"No, I was just too surprised, and I didn't mean to offend." The businessman apologized again and again, and finally let the shop owner restore his previous good face.

Under the guidance of the store owner, the merchants found Mushroom House, and the branch store manager of Mushroom House contacted the main person in charge. After waiting for a few minutes, the merchants saw this strong woman named 'Betty'.

There is a reason to say that she is a strong woman.

The heroine of Ji Jing's first divorce case kicked off her cheating husband, collected 70.00% of the family's property (20.00% belonged to the material compensation for cheating), passed the lord's application conditions, and became the person in charge of Mushroom House.

She is a banner and an icon for many women.

The businessmen were very surprised when they saw her. They expected her to be a strong and fierce woman, but they didn't expect it to be the very temperamental and gentle woman they saw yesterday. She didn't look aggressive at all, and she wasn't very old. , can't be connected with rumors at all.

"I said, we'll meet again."

Betty was very gentle, with a bit of indescribable strength in her gentleness. The businessmen even lowered their voices a lot, and they didn't dare to make mistakes.

Qingchuan built a salt drying field and a seaweed farm at the port last year, so the residents have no shortage of salt and seaweed. Although there are few shellfish, shrimps, crabs and sea fish, it is not without them.Merchants' goods are not unique and necessary, which prevents them from opening their mouths.

But Betty is still willing to acquire their products, not to let these people go away empty-handed.

"I can buy these things. It's not because we're short of money, or the money is useless, but we want to cooperate with you. You bring some of what we need from the outside world, and we can provide you with some local specialties."

To put it bluntly, spend money to buy business routes and publicity.

"Look at these, maybe you have already known a lot of special products of our quiet collar this day."

Betty took out a booklet of color illustrations, high-quality white paper, hand-painted by the artist with expensive paints, and then ordered such a book.

There are various sauces on the first page, such as soybean sauce, mushroom sauce, shrimp paste, etc. that the businessman has eaten before.After eating it, several merchants thought it was good. It could be used to spread bread, and it was also delicious in soup, and the price was not very expensive.

Then there are soaps and soaps, there are bars and flakes they have used, which are cheaper than the toilet products outside, have strong cleaning power, and have a fragrance.This is also used, I know it is a good thing, it can be used as a fist product.

There are even various dried meat floss that are easy to carry, both beef and pork.Five-spice flavors, spicy flavors, honey flavors... There are many samples in Mushroom House, and the leaders occasionally buy some.

The merchants tried a little bit, and it was many times more delicious than the jerky sold outside, and the price was not higher, which made people's heart beat.

"Ma'am, I saw many shops selling meat on the street, and I saw many people spend one or two copper coins to add a spoonful of minced meat to themselves. Does Ji Jing have a lot of meat, pork, and cattle that can be sold?" the businessman asked Betty.

He wanted to ask this question a long time ago.

Not to mention those rural people, they basically can't eat meat, even ordinary people living outside the city can't eat meat a few times a year.But looking at the situation of the people here, it seems that they can buy a little meat and taste it at home every few days. What is the situation?

"You probably don't know that many orc brothers in our territory raise cattle and sheep, so they often sell meat on the street. Generally, people with some spare money can buy some to try something new. If they are really not rich, they can Cut off some internal organs, marinated with spices, and it will lose its flavor."

Tranquil collars practice intensive farming. According to the breeding methods provided by the lords, cattle and sheep grow meat quickly and can be bred in large quantities. Therefore, the price of meat in Tranquility collars is not expensive, and the leaders can occasionally cut some meat to go home.

"So it is."

The businessmen were tempted, and they gathered together to discuss, this one wanted it, and that one wanted it too, but there was only so much money, and they argued endlessly.

Betty was no surprise.

She was originally the daughter of a merchant's family. She dressed up as a boy and traveled around with her father since she was a child, and learned the business skills through her ears and eyes.That is to say, after getting married, she puts her heart away and concentrates on housework, but who knows that the dog man secretly finds a lover outside.

If it was outside, Betty could only bear with resentment, or wait for an heir to be born, and find an opportunity to end this unfaithful man in the future.But since she was in Tranquility and had the lord as her reliance, she was completely unwilling to endure it and chose to divorce.

On the day of the divorce, the sky was exceptionally blue.

Now that the family has raised a tall and strong boy who is obedient and can cook, Betty thinks that if he looks good, he can get married, and she can afford it.

I feel that I have a little understanding of why the lord descended from the mundane world and fell in love with someone. It is very happy to raise a good man at home.

The author has something to say: emmmm... It seems that I overestimated myself. It is too difficult to save a chapter a day and save a manuscript. Is it better to save a chapter in two days and add more updates on the first date~
