Claude knew very well that the great harvest achieved by the four friends on their adventure to Bailuzhou could only be attributed to good luck. The ambush of a mountain deer by the creek on the first night was mainly due to Viricero's personal contribution
, being able to fight the big python on the underground floor the next day was considered destiny. As for the black tiger fish in the net on the return trip, it was a gift from heaven. It doesn't happen every time I go out for adventure.
You can all be so lucky.
In addition, Bock Al contributed a lot to being able to sell so much money. He shrewdly took advantage of the crowd of onlookers. In full view of the crowd, the shopkeepers who bid for the auction were unable to lower the price, so that the price went higher and higher. At that time, they had also placed their bids.
If you can't sell it, you can only buy it at a premium. This is also to earn face for your store in front of the onlookers.
To put it bluntly, this dock auction is more like a live show that spends money on advertising. Like Gilp’s fur shop, which has made nothing, its status in the minds of the townspeople is likely to plummet. In the future, hunters will come to town to sell furs,
The first choice would be Mila Tailor Shop, which bought mountain deer skins at a high price, the second choice would be Vakuri, who paid six riaso for two broken mountain antelope skins, and Gilp Leather Shop could only buy leftovers.
.
Being able to sell seventeen silver thalers and eight riaso was beyond Claude's expectation. Originally, he thought it would be great to be able to sell eight or nine silver thalers, but he didn't expect that a dock auction would happen.
They doubled the price, which meant that after paying off the debt, Claude would still have three silver tales with him, which was already more than one month's salary of Mr. Morsan's official salary.
No wonder Mr. Morsand's attitude was so strange last night. He probably knew the price of the dock auction, so he didn't scold Claude for hiding his family. It seems that he has to go to the bookstore as soon as possible to buy some new books so that he can block Morssant.
Mr. Claude's mouth, lest he constantly remind Claude that a man must keep his word and do what he says...
This is why Claude proposed to invite his friends to the town for a big meal at noon. After eating, the main purpose was to stop by the town bookstore to buy a few new books to take home.
"Okay, I brought four money bags today to divide the money. I will give the money to you when you get to school." Bockaar nodded and said: "But, Claude, the money you are going to pay back originally belonged to us.
I made it in order to go to Bailuzhou, so now I have to share it as well?"
"Let's put it with you first. Don't divide the money. From now on, when we go out to buy some delicious food from school at noon, we can take it from here. After all, it's not appropriate for you to pay for it..."
Erikson agreed: "Claude is right. Anyway, we have earned a lot this time. From now on, this money will be used as public expense for us to eat delicious food."
"I have no objection." Viricero said: "But Boa, just give me four riaso and five sunars for this distribution, and leave the four silver talers first.
Then, I'll ask you for it when I need it..."
"Why?" Everyone was a little strange and looked at Viricolo.
Vericro was a little embarrassed: "That's it. If you leave it with me, my sister will take it away and say that she will keep it for me, and then I can't get it back. This has happened several times before. I
All the pocket money my father gave me is with my sister, which amounts to more than a silver thaler..."
Everyone was speechless...
Bockaar finally said: "Okay, I will keep it for you, and I will give it to you when you need to buy something."
When he arrived at school and entered the classroom, what he didn't expect was that his classmates stood up and applauded to welcome him, making Erikson even more proud.
"What are they doing?" Claude was a little confused.
"Yesterday they also went to the pier to see us and called us the fourth grade warriors in the second grade of junior high school. You know how scary that python skin is when it is spread out. Not even the adult hunters have the courage to face such a big one.
The python's... Of course, this is all your fault." Bock'ar whispered.
The fourth warrior in the second grade of a junior high school? Is there any title better than this? Claude felt his face was burning. What made him even more embarrassed was that during the three liberal arts classes in the morning, every teacher mentioned that they were four
The names of individuals expressed admiration for their courage. Even during recess, students from other classes pointed at them, including girls...
Vericro didn't care, it was natural for the big man to react slowly. But Claude was not used to this kind of eye-catching scenery in the limelight. As a time traveler, he wished he could keep a low profile and hide in the crowd.
He feels safe. He can only force himself to be patient for now and hope that everything will disappear after a while.
On the contrary, Erikson and Bockaar are now in high spirits, taking the trouble to tell their classmates about the adventures of the past two days. If Claude hadn't stopped him in time, they might have ended up in Bailuzhou because of their quick talk.
The story of camping at the Magic Tower ruins was also revealed. Although the two of them just drank too much Ganlan wine and fell asleep all night, this did not prevent them from using their imagination to fictionalize camping at the foot of Bailuzhou Mountain for two nights.
The story was compiled like a terrifying fantasy blockbuster, which made the students around me stunned...
Claude believed that soon a new mysterious and terrifying legend about Bailuzhou would be revealed. How about hearing terrifying ghostly screams coming from the woods in the middle of the night, and seeing mysterious black figures walking on the mountains when the white fog rose?
But when the sun comes out and the white mist clears, there is nothing abnormal, etc. The people who tell it are happy, but the people who listen to it are brainless. They don't even think about it, if it is really so mysterious and terrifying, why can the four teenagers come back safe and sound...
After finally staying up until noon, the food in the cafeteria was as boring as ever. The four rich teenagers scaled the wall behind the school again and prepared to go to the town center for a delicious lunch.
"Where are we going to eat?" Viricero asked.
"Why don't you go to the tavern? Didn't Pied bought our black tiger fish yesterday? I really want to taste what such a big black tiger fish tastes like." Claude suggested that he would be treating guests here.
Money man, logically speaking, the person being invited should not object. It’s up to the guest to do whatever he wants. But I didn’t expect that this proposal was unanimously opposed by Bockaar and Erikson.
"No, Claude, aren't you going to the old tavern now to get scolded? Do you believe it or not, at least half of the people you know are in the old tavern now. Your father, my father, they must also have lunch there...
" said Bockal.
"It seems that my dad will go too. Yesterday afternoon he made an appointment with Pied, saying he would leave a large portion of the black tiger fish for him. Today at noon he invited some friends to try such a big fish caught by his son.
The black tiger fish..." Ericson said with a little lack of confidence. Both father and son love to show off and be pushy.
Claude patted his head, how could he have forgotten that the tavern is an old gathering place for the upper class in White Deer Town. Yesterday afternoon, the tavern chef Pied bought the black tiger fish at a high price, so today's noon and
In the evening, those upper-class people who love gourmet food will definitely gather there to dine. His father, Mr. Molsang, the administrative director of Bailu Town, will undoubtedly be invited to have lunch with him. Now, in the past, I was just looking for scolding...
There are actually more than ten taverns in Bailu Town, of which the dock area has the most, with seven. But there is only one that is called a tavern or old tavern by people in the town, which is the earliest tavern in Bailu Town, Bailu Tavern. This one
The pub is said to have as long a history as White Deer Town. It has changed hands more than ten times, and finally became one of the ancestral properties of Sir Fox, the only National Member of Parliament in White Deer Town. Of course, Sir Fox, as a National Member of Parliament, is not
He would run a tavern, and now Chef Pied has become the actual operator of the tavern.
Chef Pied is also a very legendary figure. He is from the Royal Capital, and his family opened a luxurious restaurant. He has loved studying cooking since he was a child. Sir Fox studied in the Royal Capital when he was young, met him and became
Friends.
Later, an aristocratic lady who loved food fell in love with young Pied. Of course, this love could not be blessed by her family. After all, she was still an aristocratic lady. Falling in love with a cook no matter her status or family status.
The backgrounds are not the same, and this has become a big joke among the aristocratic circles of the royal capital.
So the noble lady decided to elope with young Pied! Elope...
As a result, Pied's parents suffered revenge from the nobleman, and their luxurious restaurant quickly closed down. Speaking of which, Pied really needs to thank Sterling IX, who was very kind to Stirling IX during his reign.
The policy of continued suppression of aristocratic privileges meant that the aristocrat was unable to effectively harm the Pied family in terms of personal safety, and could only attack and threaten them economically.
For the sake of love, Pied took his family thousands of miles away from the royal capital and came to White Deer Town to join Sir Fox, and took over the management of one of Sir Fox's ancestral properties, the old tavern in White Deer Town.
After taking over the White Hart Tavern, the first thing Peter did was to fire all the tavern maids who were part-time in the butcher business, and persuaded Sir Fox to spend a large sum of money to renovate and decorate the old tavern, while also recruiting new waiters.
Training. Three months later, the old tavern took on a new look and became the most upscale, elegant and expensive place for socializing in Bailu Town. People of some status in the town flocked there, and from then on, the old tavern became the place for the upper class people in Bailu Town.
A gathering place where they taste delicious food and discuss large-scale business...
"Thank you for the reminder, Boa. Where should we go for lunch?"
"Didn't you say you want to go to the bookstore after eating? Let's go directly to the Big Fork restaurant next to the bookstore. Their roast lamb ribs and braised noodles are very delicious," Erikson recommended.
The Big Fork Restaurant is not actually called this name. People in the Farea continent are accustomed to using their surname or first name as the name of their stores. Originally, the name of this restaurant was Lombards Restaurant, which was also the name of the old shop owner, but in order to be more attractive
To attract people's attention, he hung an extra-large rice fork at the entrance of the store. As a result, over time, people called this restaurant the Big Fork Restaurant. This is the reason why things cannot be hung randomly...
There are noodles in this world, but noodles are basically made by hand. Just mix the noodles with water, put them on the chopping board and roll them into flakes with a stick, then cut them into strips with a knife, put them in a pot and cook them before pouring them on.
You can eat it with just a spoonful of braised gravy. It is very similar to the handmade wide noodles that the time traveler had in his previous life, but the taste of this braised noodles is much worse.
The roasted lamb ribs are not bad, you can eat them directly in your hand. The drinks are fresh rye wine and honey black tea, both of which cost one sunar. The four of us have classes in the afternoon, so Erikson and Bockaar are very honest.
I ordered a cup of honey black tea.
Claude gnawed five lamb ribs in one go and ate a large plate of braised noodles. Bockard was about the same as him, but only gnawed three lamb ribs. Erikson and Viricero were fond of braised noodles.
Du Zhi, everyone asked for two big plates.
In the final reckoning, the four of us ate twelve ribs of lamb ribs for one sunar each, and a plate of marinated noodles for three sunar. We ordered six plates, plus four cups of honey black tea. Claude paid a total of
Three riyals and four sunars are equivalent to three days' salary of Mr. Morsan. The price of this big fork restaurant is a bit expensive, but Claude's task of treating guests has been fulfilled.
