Chapter 82 Traces of Beast Activity
"You don't want to get me drunk!"
Zhang Feng asked suddenly.
“Yes – no no no!”
Caroline waved her hands repeatedly, but the panic she had just now revealed.
"Okay! I was a little embarrassed at first and felt a little sorry for you, but I didn't expect that you had already made a ill-gotten plan!"
Hearing Zhang Feng's exaggerated tone, Caroline was so embarrassed that her neck turned red.
"Mr. Zhang Feng~ Stop talking!"
Caroline held Zhang Feng's arm and acted coquettishly. She found that Zhang Feng was just taking this trick.
"Okay, okay, I won't say it!"
Zhang Feng really couldn't hold on to women's spoiled behavior, especially Caroline, a beautiful woman.
"Hehe, thank you Lord Zhang Feng!"
Caroline's long and upturned eyelashes flashed. In Zhang Feng's unexpected gaze, she came over and kissed Zhang Feng gently on the cheek.
Dongdong ~
Zhang Feng was about to hug her when a knock came from outside the door. Caroline quickly sat down and returned to the dignified city lord's wife.
Except for the slightly reddish ear roots, there is no change from normal.
Zhang Feng shook his head and couldn't help but complain in his heart that it was really fast for a woman to change her face.
"Sir, this is the income of the Red Leaf Restaurant yesterday."
The person who came was a man, one of Zhang Feng's few male slaves. Because he was very talented in cooking, Zhang Feng asked him to learn cooking with the chef in the castle, and he was temporarily the cashier work of the Hongye Restaurant.
Although the income of Hongye Restaurant was not as high as that of the tavern yesterday, it was not low, with a total of one gold coin.
The main reason is that the restaurant has too many discounts on the first day, and many people can eat for free, so the income is much worse than that of the tavern. Although the tavern has discounts for local residents and civil servants in Hongye City, it is not free.
After all, it’s not yet holidays, so they can’t let their work be affected by drunkenness.
By the way, the concept of holidays was also proposed by Zhang Feng. Hongye City did not have the saying of holidays, but those who generally work for nobles or merchants can rest one day a month.
It is too little to take a day off a month, and it is really a bit of a punitive person. Zhang Feng is not such an inhumane person. He stipulated that as long as he is a civil servant who works for the city lord's mansion or the city hall, he can rest for four days a month with a paid one.
These four days are called legal holidays.
As soon as the decree on holidays was promulgated, the civilians immediately shouted that the city lord was kind and righteous. This city lord who did not aim to exploit the people was worthy of their respect.
For Zhang Feng, there is not much difference between working two days more than one month and working two days less. Relatively speaking, as their city lord, Zhang Feng doesn't mind giving them some benefits when he is capable. In addition to winning the hearts of the people, he also feels satisfied when he sees others live a good life under his leadership.
Those businessmen felt a little uncomfortable, and they were afraid of comparisons in everything. They did not pay Zhang Feng a higher salary when they gave them a job. In addition, this four-day holiday every month, the gap became bigger and bigger.
If Zhang Feng hadn't recruited people strictly, I'm afraid no one else would have recruited people.
The merchants had no choice but to follow Zhang Feng's footsteps slowly. They understood very well that if they wanted to stay in Hongye City, they could not ignore this magical new city lord.
...
“The reputation of Hongye Restaurant should be pretty good, right?”
Zhang Feng asked.
The male slave responded respectfully:
"Everyone has a good review of the Red Leaf Restaurant, especially after knowing that the fish can be eaten and the taste is very delicious, many people have some ideas about the fish. However, since this piece of Senluo River belongs to your territory by the Lord of the City, no one dares to make any decisions and can only focus on other places."
"Oh? Where?"
“The Senro River in other cities under the Sunset Mountains.”
Zhang Feng nodded thoughtfully. The businessman should be the one with this ability.
However, it doesn't matter to Zhang Feng. Even if they can catch a lot of fish, they still have very fishy food without the seasonings and treatment methods they bring.
It poses no threat to Hongye Restaurant.
On the contrary, if those merchants find that the fish they collected with great strength cannot remove the fishy smell, they may be able to take the opportunity to buy it at a low price, even if they can't finish it for the time being, they can make canned fish or something...
Well, this idea is good!
The businessmen in Hongye City who thought they had discovered business opportunities had no idea that they had been plotted against by Zhang Feng before they could take action.
Although fish is just a relatively low-end food for Zhang Feng at present, it is also a necessary part of Zhang Feng's plan, so he will naturally not be in vain.
After communicating with the male slave for a few words, Zhang Feng also rewarded him with a silver coin, and the slave retreated with gratitude.
"Mr. Zhang Feng, if others can catch fish, and even open another restaurant in our Hongye City, will it have an impact on our Hongye Restaurant?"
Caroline asked with concern.
"Don't worry, they don't know how to deal with fish, nor do they have any onions, ginger and garlic. It's not a threat to us. Besides, if you want to open a restaurant, you have to ask me if I agree."
Before Zhang Feng took over Hongye City, there were many places in the city that sold the right to use. The city lord only enjoyed ownership, such as a street that Zhang Feng could buy when he first came to Hongye City.
Although Zhang Feng is the city lord, the world emphasizes the spirit of contract. Since you have sold the right to use to others, even if the other party is legal, even the city lord will not be able to snatch the place back.
Unless the city lord is shameless, if this is the case, he will lose the hearts of the people.
In order to avoid these troubles, Zhang Feng bought back all the places where the right to sell was sold in Hongye City, including the houses in Hongye City. Now those houses are rented to others at low prices, and they can get a lot of money and rent the house at low prices. The civilians are also very happy.
As for Zhang Feng, it doesn’t matter if he spends a little more money, there are not many gold coins in total.
Now, nominally or in fact, everything here belongs to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Feng will no longer sell land or anything else, he will only rent it out.
Due to Zhang Feng's reasons, Hongye City is in a prosperous situation. House prices have already shown an upward trend, but since houses belong to Zhang Feng's personal, no matter how high the price is, they cannot buy a house.
Zhang Feng was very satisfied with the situation in Hongye Restaurant and Hongye Tavern. He took out the cup and wine and prepared to make another simple cocktail, just to celebrate it as a small celebration.
Caroline sat next to Zhang Feng with a long look. Although it was indeed a bit embarrassing to be drunk yesterday, the wine Zhang Feng made was really delicious!
But before Zhang Feng had time to mix a cocktail, the knock on the door sounded again.
"Please come in."
Bang bang bang bang ~
The Knight Marlow walked in wearing a steel armor. After giving a knightly salute to Zhang Feng and Caroline, he looked at Zhang Feng with a serious look and said:
"Sir, the city lord, traces of wild beasts were found in the north of the Red Leaf City!"
