Chapter 223 The Ke family worships their ancestors! (Please subscribe~Please vote~)
Three days later, in the morning.
In the Bear Castle restaurant, the Gram family maintains the tradition of having breakfast together.
Loaves of black whole wheat bread are placed on the table.
Bacon ham slices made from venison.
Roasted rabbit is the main meal.
The soup made of potatoes and cabbage is added with chopped bear meat, and the aroma is overwhelming. Especially when paired with the freshly pickled pickled cucumbers, it is even more appetizing.
"The arena is basically completed, but I think the auditorium still needs to be expanded, especially the VIP seats."
"I booked a third-class seat for 10 copper cents, a second-class seat for 20 copper cents (1 silver cord), a first-class seat for 40 copper cents (2 silver cords), and a VIP seat for 24 silver cords (2 gold grams).
"
Enmlek, who had been a "drifter" all night, was explaining to Goethe with dark circles under his eyes.
"I made some mistakes before."
"VIP seats should not be priced so easily. The ticket price of 2 gold grams you quoted Emle is obviously too low - it should only be the starting price of the auction. We need to divide them into three, six or nine classes according to the location of the seats, and
Tell everyone that there are only 10 VIP seats in total.”
Goethe corrected it while holding a piece of pickled cucumber.
Click!
The crispy pickled cucumber has a hint of sweetness.
Goethe's eyes lit up, he picked up a loaf of black bread, broke off a piece and put it into the soup.
For this kind of hard food, he likes to eat it in soup.
"But our news has been released?"
"Wouldn't it be a good idea to do this?"
Enmley Ke was a little worried.
When the rye bread was quickly softening, Goethe tore off half of the rabbit and chewed it with the bones intact. Faced with Enmlek's concerns, he spoke softly like a profiteer who eats people without spitting out the bones.
: "You just said that the supply of VIP seats is really in short supply, and it cannot be completed in a short time. I can only set up 10 VIP seats to express my gratitude to everyone, and then ask guests who cannot purchase VIP seats to go to the first-class seats -
—You must emphasize that the first-class seat is the same, even if it is really a little worse than the VIP seat."
"Dirty and dark."
Gejir couldn't help but comment again.
"What's this about being dirty and dark?"
"If the time is not too tight, I will also plan to conduct a pre-sale, then conduct a hunger marketing based on the pre-sale situation, and then develop a wave of peripheral products!"
"You will definitely be able to earn a lot of money."
Goethe said with a rather regretful sigh.
How to relieve worries?
Only good food!
The next moment Goethe sighed, he picked up a piece of venison smoked ham.
The unique flavor appears as soon as the smoke and meat flavors are mixed in your mouth.
The meat is not as soft as other hams, but rather chewy.
Paired with rye bread, it's quite delicious.
Taking another sip of soup, a smile appeared on Goethe's face.
"I probably understand pre-sale and hunger marketing. What are the peripheral products?"
Enmley Ke, who has been in charge of the northern economy, asked.
The face of the Grand Duke's second son was full of curiosity.
As the economic leader of the Ke family, no one knows better than Enmlai Ke that the Northern Territory needs a lot of money. As long as there is an opportunity to make money, the second son of the Grand Duke will not let it go.
"Peripheral products are items developed based on this competition. To put it simply, they constantly promote a certain player, or promote the competition itself, so that it can form a herd effect. It is best to add a sense of comparison and let people follow the competition.
People think this is a trend and follow it unconsciously - then you will find that Jinke starts to chase you and keeps getting into your pocket."
"Unfortunately, time is too tight!"
"but……"
"But what?"
The Grand Duke's second son asked quickly.
"However, the wood we ordered that originally belonged to the VIP seats cannot be wasted. Since 10 VIP seats are enough, the remaining wood will be built outside the venue with the ring as the center, and dozens of temporary shops will be rented out to those
Merchants - and tell them that only those who have rented a shop are eligible to enter the venue to sell food and water."
"As for the other people who haven't rented a shop?"
"If you are willing to give us a sponsorship fund, you can set up stalls outside the venue and farther away from the shops, but you cannot enter the venue to sell."
Goethe thought for a moment and then said.
After all, those wood were bought with money and cannot just be wasted.
"hiss!"
"Sure enough, it's dirtier and darker... Goethe, it's a pity that you don't become a businessman. If you become a businessman, you will definitely be as rich as the country!"
Gergil took a deep breath and looked at Goethe with his eyes widening.
Behind Gejir, the small town girl Ella stood there with a look of shock and disbelief.
For Ella, a small town girl, even though she is the daughter of the mayor, she has never been exposed to this aspect of things.
Listening to Goethe's narration at this moment, this small town girl's three views were about to be subverted.
However, Goethe's subsequent words left this small town girl at a loss.
"A businessman with incredible wealth?"
"A businessman can never be as rich as his country."
"Unless he himself represents the will of the 'country'!"
Goethe picked up half of the roast rabbit on Silla's plate, raised his hand and patted Silla's snatching palm away, then supported Silla's forehead with one hand and said vaguely.
Such words made both the Grand Duke and Simlei Ke look at him with suspicion.
The Grand Duke simply lamented the 'Steinbeck' bloodline in his nephew, which really cannot be faked.
Then, the Grand Duke handed his roast rabbit to Silla, who was about to cry.
But Simlei Ke felt that his cousin was very powerful.
At least, he couldn't think of a plan to make money like this.
"Anything else?"
Enmle Ke continued to ask with his eyes gleaming.
The second son of the Grand Duke had already heard Jinke's crisp sound.
He had a premonition that if this wave was completed, the northern border would be relaxed for a long time.
Faced with such a question, Goethe simply rolled his eyes.
"Are you the devil?"
"Leeks also need to be cut one after another!"
"You pulled out all the roots, what did you do?"
Immediately, Enmley Ke smiled sheepishly.
Just when everyone was about to end this topic, Goethe suddenly spoke again——
"Try your best to do this, and we will try to turn this group competition into a series!"
"series?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Of course the series!"
"We spent hundreds of gold grams to buy wood, and also put in labor and energy, how could we not make it into a series!"
"This year I challenge all second-level professionals. Next year we can hold a similar 'Fighting Conference'!"
Goethe looked matter-of-fact.
Then, while everyone was still thinking, Goethe continued.
"Remember, buy all the land near the current venue."
Everyone was stunned again.
Only Enmle Ke had some reaction.
Once it becomes an annual series of events, the prices of surrounding houses and buildings will naturally double. Now he is buying it at a cabbage price. Whether he rents it out or sells it, it will bring benefits to the North.
.
"Is this why you rejected my original plan to build the venue in the dock area, and instead chose to build the venue in the most remote part of Bear Castle?"
"Of course not!"
"The wharf area is to welcome guests from Fabol - how can those guests' ships be anchored next to ordinary merchant ships and cargo ships? Of course there must be a special wharf!"
"And we built such a pier to show respect, so charging a small amount of berthing fees and management fees is not excessive, right?"
Goethe had a matter-of-fact look on his face.
You are the devil!
Everyone except Sheila, who was happily eating roasted rabbit, expressed this sentiment.
"Well, do as Goethe said."
The Grand Duke coughed lightly and suppressed the surprise in his heart.
He originally thought he had seen clearly what his nephew was thinking.
Unexpectedly...
It's because he is shallow.
Is it possible to make money with the bloodline of ‘Steinbeck’?
Rumor has it that people with the 'Steinbeck' bloodline will be intimate with each other.
The Grand Duke thought in his heart.
Simle. Ke, Enmle. Ke and Gezier. Ke also thought of this rumor.
Of course, they only thought this was a metaphorical rumor.
until--
bite!
A gold coin fell out of Silla's pocket.
Silla, who was enjoying her meal, didn't even notice this.
Goethe raised his hand to pick up Jinke, blew the dust off it, and put it in his pocket.
Ke family:......
It's actually true!
The Grand Duke and the Third Son looked shocked.
Goethe, on the other hand, looked calm.
As [Steinbeck Breathing Technique] reaches the unparalleled level, the attached [Lucky] special effect has also been improved. In the past, the maximum amount of money picked up would not exceed 1 silver cord, but now it has reached 1 gold gram.
Of course, the limit is 1 gold gram.
In the past month, Goethe tried many times, but could not exceed this amount.
Moreover, another special effect [Treasure Collecting] has never been triggered.
Obviously, such a 'passive' one also needs to be 'actively' triggered by him. It is impossible for treasures to fall from the sky just by staying in the room.
"Maybe I should hang out in an antique store or something?"
Goethe couldn't help but think, but his eyes glanced at the 'Mad King's Ring'.
One month of ‘world upgrading’ has long been completed.
The starry sky also changed.
Originally, among the seven stars, three were dim and appeared in a row with a white one at the bottom, a gray one on top, a black one on top, and a red one on top, arranged in a '丄' shape, but
As the middle star among the three dim stars was 'upgraded', only two dim stars were left at the bottom. This 'upgraded' star turned black and red, appearing among the original black and red stars.
space, connecting the two.
Likewise, this star has become inaccessible.
The rest has not changed.
The two dim stars have finished cooling down, and it still costs 500 gold grams to enter.
The milky white stars are still cooling down, and the gray stars will cost 10,000 gold grams to enter.
Goethe's eyes lingered on the gray stars for a moment, and then he looked at the two dim stars again - looking at the gray stars, Goethe still had a feeling of panic.
Although not as strong as before, it still cannot be ignored.
"In the 'Secret Realm' of the White Star, there is already an existence called 'Ultimate Power' that can threaten me, and this is only on the surface. Who knows what is going on in the dark?"
"According to the price, the gray stars will be five times more difficult than the white stars..."
"I'm afraid that if you are not careful after entering, you will die!"
"Sure enough, I'm still too weak!"
Goethe sighed lightly and became more determined to complete the second baptism a hundred times.
The more basic it is, the more likely it is to create miracles.
Once you take that step, if you want to go back again and achieve the same effect, you will have to pay a hundred times or a thousand times the price, and it may even be impossible to reverse it.
A tall building rises from the ground, every brick and tile is its foundation!
"I must create a foundation that is so strong that I can't stand it!"
"I, Goethe, always rely on myself!"
Goethe thought in his heart, and moved his eyes again, looking at [Bloody Honor].
9 servings!
Thanks to the good harvest at the last moment of the 'Secret Realm', Goethe's [Bloody Honor] has reached an unprecedented height.
Goethe naturally had plans for the nine [Bloody Honors].
Naturally it is [Steinbeck Breathing Technique]!
Not just the need for [heart]!
It was also because Goethe wanted to know how far the extraordinary level of [Steinbeck Breathing Technique] could be achieved.
As for the 10 copies of [Bloody Honor] and 3000 gold grams required for [Steinbeck Breathing Technique], he has almost completed half of it.
But the remaining half...
A little more difficult!
It is almost impossible to complete it in the 'Anchor World'.
Therefore, Goethe thought about going to the "secret realm" of the two dim stars to complete it.
And this requires careful planning!
Shaking his head, Goethe put down his thoughts for the time being.
It's breakfast time now.
He hadn't finished his venison prosciutto yet.
After Goethe finished the last bit of food, the Archduke tapped the table.
Everyone sat up straight.
Even Sheila is no exception.
Sheila seems a little not very smart, but she still developed some skills when she was the owner of the Hunter Bar, even though most of the time, it was her teacher who gave her the finishing touches.
Of course, more often than not, it depends on whether she wants it or not.
She doesn't bother to pay attention to ordinary people and just goes her own way.
And the Grand Duke?
That would be different.
The Grand Duke not only provided her with accommodation, but also provided her with food.
What to do?
Silla naturally knew the difference clearly.
However, there is one thing that Silla will never admit.
She would never admit that it was because she noticed that Goethe cared about the Archduke that she cared about him.
"Today we are going to worship our ancestors."
The Grand Duke announced.
No one was surprised by this. The Grand Duke had mentioned it before.
"Can Nina do it?"
Simlei Ke asked worriedly.
Nina did not show up for breakfast this morning.
Because, Nina is sick.
In fact, after arriving at Bear Castle, Nina suddenly fell ill. According to the doctor, it was because she was too tired along the way and Nina was not in good health, so she fell ill.
After the Grand Duke, Simlei Ke, examined him, he came to a similar conclusion: he was physically weak.
Facing the eldest son's question, the Grand Duke did not answer, but just pointed outside.
Everyone looked towards the corridor outside the restaurant.
About ten seconds later, I saw Nina in a long skirt walking in from the outside while holding on to the wall.
Goethe, Simlei Ke, Emlei Ke and Gergil Ke ran over immediately.
"I'm fine!"
"I can do it!"
"I want to see my mother!"
There was firmness in the sick words.
Simley Ke checked his sister's body again. After a moment, he nodded to Goethe, Emley Ke and Gezier Ke, indicating that it was really okay.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nina, come and have something to eat."
"You will have strength only when you are full."
“Only when you are full will you recover from your illness.”
"Simley, Emley, and Gezier, take care of Nina, Goethe, and Silla, you two come with me."
The Grand Duke gently touched his daughter's head and then gave the order.
Goethe and Silla followed the Grand Duke and left the restaurant.
A group of three people walked out of the Bear Castle directly.
We came to a hilly area on one side.
There are grass, flowers, trees, and rabbits and other small animals on the hillside.
When Silla saw those small animals, she chased them with joy.
The Grand Duke looked at this scene with a smile.
"I think little Jasmine also loved small animals back then, but just like her flowers, all the small animals couldn't survive - well, except for me."
The Grand Duke seemed to have thought of something, his face showed both happiness and melancholy, with a trace of painful memories.
"Um?"
Goethe was a little confused.
"Little Jasmine's cooking skills are hard to describe, but she loves cooking."
The Grand Duke smiled bitterly.
Immediately, Goethe understood.
If you're not good at cooking, that's okay.
But if you are not good at cooking and still love cooking, then you have to take your own life.
When he was in his hometown, Goethe's fat friend was deeply tortured - his wife was a terrible cook, but she loved to tinker with food to feed the fat man.
Those ingredients that were originally very ordinary became special after being cooked by the other party's wife.
For example: Double-skinned breasts that went to the toilet seven times.
For example: bread with vomiting and diarrhea for 24 hours.
For example: the sweet soup in the hospital water set meal.
In short, it is hard to guard against.
According to his good friend, the other wife’s mother refused all the food she cooked. She wouldn’t eat it when feeding the dogs, and ignored the cats. The only thing left was the poor fat man who didn’t want to waste food and didn’t want to let his wife down.
I ate it with gritted teeth.
Then……
The above experiences often occur in turn.
So, Goethe really understood.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Goethe looked sympathetic.
"Well, it's actually a good thing - Goethe, do you know why my 'talent' far exceeds that of your two deceased uncles?"
"Why?"
"Because, in order to be able to withstand two more rounds under little Jasmine's cooking skills, I practiced [Volibear Breathing Technique] day and night, so that I will appear to have outstanding 'talent'."
"Actually, my talent is average."
The Grand Duke sighed.
"Hard work also leads to genius."
"Then Aunt Jasmine must be very touched when she sees you eating the food she made, especially when she finds out that others don't eat."
"Yes, she was very moved, so she did more. In order to be able to resist, I could only continue to grit my teeth and practice [Volibear Breathing Technique]. One day, I suddenly discovered that I was far beyond
Two brothers."
Goethe didn't know what expression to use at this time.
It's obviously a very hard-working and inspiring feeling, but why does he want to laugh?
"Now that I think about it, I am able to be where I am today because of little Jasmine's 'prompt'."
"Moreover, there are some things that little Jasmine is even more farsighted about."
"For example: That bastard George VI."
"I believed him very much at the time - because we share part of the same bloodline, I thought George VI could be trusted. Even if little Jasmine persuaded me, I thought it was little Jasmine who was overly concerned."
"But finally?"
"It proves that little Jasmine is right."
"I even relied on little Jasmine to make a comeback."
"It reversed the situation of complete and impossible defeat."
"I……"
"I miss her so much."
The Grand Duke said softly and began to bend down to pick flowers.
Goethe followed, imitating the Grand Duke's example, and picked together.
In the distance, Silla was holding a knocked-out hare in her hand, and began to chase another rabbit frantically. The rabbit ran away in panic, and finally hit a tree and fainted.
Silla picked up the rabbit and looked at the tree thoughtfully.
A bouquet of flowers, red, pink, yellow, white, purple, colorful.
After the Grand Duke expertly tied them up with mustard, he straightened up and returned to Bear's Castle with Goethe and Silla.
As she walked away, Silla frequently looked back at the tree.
Snap!
Goethe raised his hand and slapped the back of his head.
"Why did you hit me?"
Silla glared at Goethe.
"Standing back and waiting will starve to death."
Goethe sneered.
"However, the rabbit eventually hit me - as long as I let the rabbit hit me every time, wouldn't I have countless rabbits to eat?"
Silla retorted.
"Tsk, then you might as well put up a sign on the edge of the cliff and say to all the chickens: How do you know if you can fly until you fly? Then, you will have countless chickens to eat!"
Goethe curled his lips.
"This is impossible!"
Silla raised her head and looked at Goethe with contempt.
"oh?"
Goethe looked at Silla in surprise.
"The chicken that fell off the cliff would have been broken into pieces and cannot be eaten!"
Silla said plausibly.
"Go ahead and guard the rabbit."
"There's so much rabbit to eat."
"Bake it in the morning, fry it at noon, and stew it in the evening."
Goethe said angrily.
He was so stupid to think that Silla would have any great ideas.
It’s true that if you stay with a fool for a long time, you will become a fool.
Be sure to stay away from fools in the future!
Goethe thought in his heart.
However, when Silla was about to turn around, she raised her hand and grabbed the collar, dragging Silla back to the Bear Castle.
In the Bear's Castle, the Grand Duke's three sons and one daughter are ready.
Everyone changed into black clothes.
He was carrying a basket with food and drinks in his hand.
As for the small town girl?
At this moment, the other party was watching eagerly, looking like he really wanted to go.
But Gejir Ke waved his hand coldly.
"Go back to your room and wait for me."
Immediately, the small town girl lowered her head in grievance and walked back to the room cautiously.
Simle.K and Enmle.K did not comment.
The two of them knew some inside stories.
Nina couldn't bear it, but she chose to believe in her brother.
The same goes for Goethe, who believed that Gergier had his own reasons for doing this.
The Grand Duke was the one who knew the ins and outs of the matter, so he also remained silent.
As for Sheela?
I have never paid attention to this small town girl at all, and I have almost forgotten even the first meeting.
The small town girl stood at the end of the corridor, watching with envy as Silla walked into the depths of the Bear Castle in the ranks of the Ke family.
She wanted to too.
But when she thought of what she had done, her face immediately turned gloomy.
He could only return to the room silently, hoping that Gejir would come back soon.
In the corridor of the Bear Castle, the Ke family and his family were chatting in low voices at first, but as they got deeper and deeper, the sounds gradually disappeared. At the back, even Enmlai Ke, who was habitually smiling, was in this
It's time to become serious.
Silla was exaggerated by the atmosphere and became serious.
The cold Sheela's appearance immediately returned to its peak.
Especially after shutting up, even Goethe was willing to take a second look.
However, Goethe's attention soon focused on the door at the end.
The copper door is glowing green.
The door does not have any patterns, it is the most direct look.
A keyhole is located in the middle of the door.
The Grand Duke took out the key, inserted it, and twisted it.
