The most common ones in Fengling Street Market are horses and guns. After all, almost everyone in the dangerous west has a weapon. Although steam firearms are not popular among the people, many people who make a living outside will buy them as long as they are richer.
A handful, after all, life is sometimes more expensive than money.
The second thing is that it should be that the most people sell alcohol.
As far as John knows, most varieties can be purchased here, including from the best valley wines in Sands Harbor to the homemade pine wines in Rem.
Pinewood wine was originally produced in Hongsong Town, the northernmost town in Jinshazhou. It is called pine wood. It is actually brewed with sweet potatoes and sugar cane. Because it is brown and yellow in color, the color is similar to that of red pine wood, and local pine nuts are also added during brewing.
It has a faint pine fragrance, so it is named pine wine.
Because this wine has a sweet and sweet taste, high alcohol content but is not irritating, and can be preserved for a long time. The older the wine, the more mellow it is, so it is affected by ordinary working people such as sailors and lumberjacks, from officers and gentlemen, etc.
The love of upper-class men.
So there are imitations in various regions in the west. The behavior of copycats is not a patent in previous lives, but it is recognized that only the origin of Hongsong Town is the best. The pine wood wine in Rem Town is considered the second-class, but it is quite distinctive and has the price.
It's not cheap either. Only those crude imitations can be as cheap as a few coppers to drink a small cup.
Cent is the smallest currency series of White Eagle Federation. It can be exchanged for two types: coins and paper money. One-eighth Centre is commonly known as copper. It is mainly minted with copper, but it also contains trace amounts of silver because the denomination is small.
coin.
Yisent is the most commonly used silver coins and there are also banknotes, but small banknotes like this are not common in the west. Although the federal government vigorously promotes banknotes, ordinary people still like shiny gold and silver coins, so in addition to large-scale commercial transactions, there are many people.
Metal coins are still seen.
Twenty Cent and Fifty Centre are too large to cast, so only paper money is set up. Two fifty Centre notes can be exchanged for one federal gold pound.
This monetary system was established after federal independence to get rid of the financial rule of the Brook Empire. It eliminated Brook's traditional hexadecimal system and chose a more convenient decimal system.
Because the Federation does not lack gold and silver deposits, it was soon circulated across the country and even in the north and south of Xinda 6.
After wandering around the market, John was a little disappointed.
All you can see is ordinary secular things, and no spiritual objects like the spiritual herbs that have just appeared.
However, John still bought a batch of things and was going to use them tonight.
After completing this, John took out a sterling silver gilded pocket watch from his shirt pocket. Seeing that it was already noon, he turned around and said to his little follower Phil:
"Let's go here today, let's go to your house for lunch!"
"Okay sir!"
Klaus had eaten at a salon of 80% so he didn't have to arrange lunch, so John took Phil to his hotel.
Maple Leaf Hotel is a wooden building, or Rem Town and even the entire western region are mainly made of wooden buildings. After all, forest resources are too abundant and wood is not valuable. Instead, stone and bricks that require a lot of labor are relatively expensive.
In the entire town of Rem, only the church and town council hall are made of half stone and half wood.
The hotel sign carved a large maple leaf, and the knife and fork are painted with white paint below.
Like inns in ancient times, generally speaking, hotels in the federal area serve as restaurants and provide food and wine for tourists. John came to Maple Leaf Hotel to solve the problem of lunch.
Although I am used to the taste of the restaurant opposite my apartment, it is obviously closer to the Maple Leaf Inn from the security office than to the apartment. Moreover, the Maple Leaf Inn Old Wood's signature dish, maple syrup grilled lamb chops and mixed vegetable potato soup are also Rem Town.
Famous cuisine, for the Federal Empire, mainly the Brooks and Zemans, the cooking skills are too high. Zemans are better, at least there are special dishes such as smoked sausages and red wine stewed elbows. In addition to the Brooks
Afternoon tea is more famous, and the rest is dark food.
After trying the "food" made by Chef Brooke several times, John was completely disappointed with the food cells of this nation.
The smoky turkey with sardine cheese pie made him feel nauseous when he remembered it. Especially the fish head and dead fish eyes, and the fishy pickled sardines and sour goat cheese combined.
It's so terrible that it's indescribable!
"Mr. Walker, please come in. Today, my husband just bought twenty pounds of fresh lamb chops from the butcher shop, and the spices produced on the southern island, although not as good as the spice archipelago of East India, but it is also
It's the best, but only the nobles could afford it..."
Phil's mother, Mrs. Wood, a typical Zeman woman with a waist comparable to a bucket, was enthusiastically nagging while greeting John and her son.
"Old John, Mr. Walker is here, get your handful of lamb chops..."
Mrs. Wood's shouts were directly transmitted through the front desk to the kitchen. A middle-aged man with a typical strong man in Zeman ran out in a linen apron that had been stained with oil. This is the owner of the Maple Leaf Hotel, twenty years ago
Old Wood, a farmer who immigrated to the New Great 6, is characterized by Zeman people. Old Wood, who is in his fifties, obviously looks younger, and Mrs. Wood, like most Zeman women, gave birth to children.
Once you pass thirty, you will start to be happy and aging.
Although they often meet each other, Old Wood still insists on giving John enthusiastic salute.
John also moderately stopped Old Wood,
This is a kind of etiquette for civilians to meet nobles in the Old Great Six Holy Empire. If placed in the Brook Empire, John's identity can be worthy of a sir. This original meaning refers to squire like a lord, and most of them are local
The low-level nobles were later extended to the White Eagle Federation, which has the same cultural origin, as well as educated and identifiable gentlemen.
In the Holy Empire, the royal power is deeply rooted in people's hearts, so naturally it is not comparable to the constitutional monarchy, the lower nobles such as the jazz, knight, etc., who are all real lords in the local area.
Such etiquette makes local people who are not in dealing with him definitely gossip behind their backs. After all, since he was three years old, he moved to the White Eagle Federation with his father with his family, he was a White Eagle Federation, not Emsdan.
The nobles were reserved. Although the title of the Heisencel family was still there, it was not only not recognized in the Federation, but instead made those capitalists hostile because of jealousy.
The Woods and his wife were very grateful for John's care for his son. They wanted to waive the meal fees several times when they came to eat. However, John refused every time and still paid according to the price.
So the Woods can only work hard on the most enthusiastic service and the drinks they gave along with the meal.
Soon Old Wood, who was busy in the kitchen, personally served hot food and refreshing drinks.
The roasted lamb chops are served with sweet maple syrup, as well as spices such as rosemary and thyme and black pepper. This dish costs more than a dozen centets even in the western region where prices are very low, half of which are
Flowers on top of spices.
You should know that even though the old Da6 has obtained spice supplies from the Tianzhu area in recent years, the New Da6 is now a central spice archipelago suitable for spice cultivation. Over the past half a century, the spice supply in the Western world has greatly increased dozens of times, but the spice price is still
Compared with gold and silver, it is not something that ordinary civilian families can afford, that is, they may grit their teeth and use it a little on holidays or birthdays.
For aristocrats and capitalists, spices are still essential consumables for their daily meals.
