There are many middle-aged people in the noodle shop, and their children are the beneficiaries of the present and the future, so when it comes to attaching importance to education and children's growth, and the lords who are interested in personal ability are all smiles.

Only a very small number of people will be dissatisfied.

Because in Silent Land, it is a sin for parents to kill their children and sell their children. These people feel that they have been deprived of part of their power as parents, such as the right to decide the life and death of their children.

There are very few such people, but there must be.

In fact, the laws of the Silence Collar are relatively strict and meticulous. Parents will take care of their children's improper education, violence and derailment between husband and wife, and abandonment and neglect of the elderly. In the beginning, someone was sent to the door to warn, compensate, and reconcile. If you don't change it, or the circumstances are bad, then I'm sorry, you have committed a crime.

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

There is no aristocratic immunity, or the rich people use money to atone for their sins.

This made many men dissatisfied at the beginning, and their patriarchal and husband's rights were partially deprived. But now they are not only used to it, they have become supporters 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 Silent Leader does not value bloodline and human relationships. He only looks at personal character and personal ability, which provides them with opportunities to rise, which is a career factor.

And then one more, because the food and wine in the Silence Collar are really delicious.

"Noodles with sauce, hamburgers, wraps, scones... and my children's favorite little cakes, puddings, biscuits, and my wife loves them too." Another soldier also spoke. Dao: "I was worried when I came here at first, but now my family doesn't want to leave at all."

Suppressed by the nobles, it is really a dream place to live.

"That's right. At first, the patriarch asked us to come over, but the wife and children in the family were not happy. Now it's alright. When I say go back, everyone in the family is angry. It also won an award at the Kite Festival, it is a phoenix kite drawn by the Lord himself."

The orcs who once lived in the tribal era don't want to go back at all. Those precarious days are nightmares in retrospect.

Other people in the store, including other races, also joined the discussion.

The businessman silently watched everyone blow from the food to the software and hardware of education, and then all the way to the lord who is strong and friendly to the outside world. Even the lord's taste for good food, and his lover - all in a friendly tone.

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

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

This place is out of the way and the service is really good. If the purchasing power of the people here is acceptable, they can be used as an alternative for the business path in the future.

The businessman liked the brown sauce just now, and he would like to bring some back if possible.

Still stubbornly locked in a little light.

The lanterns at the entrances of many stores are lit up, with some words written on them, and triangular flags are swaying in the wind under the lights.

"Everyone here uses candles made of beeswax for lighting?" This extravagant act made the businessman stunned. Pine or other wood with a high oil content.

That's amazing enough.

The most expensive tools in the world are magic lamps, followed by candles, then oil lamps and torches. Magic lamps are not introduced, and people who eat magic stones are not commonly used by ordinary wealthy people.

Candles have always been popular because of their bright and stable light, but the material is beeswax. There is no such thing as artificial breeding of bees at this time. Beeswax is not easy to come by, and candles that can be made are also luxury goods.

The oil lamp uses an inedible oil, and the price is acceptable to ordinary small businessmen, but it is also used at home. The shops that are open outside will be closed at night, and if they have to be open, torches are often used.

A silver bell-like laughter came, "This is not a beeswax candle, it is an ash tree candle, a specialty of our silence collar."

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

The scenery on both sides suddenly became dim and blurred into the background.

She has orange-red hair, tied into two braids, two little butterfly-like ribbons fluttering, her skin is very white, there are a few cute youthful freckles, and a Laughing sweet face.

She carried a basket woven with colorful threads, from which loomed golden loaves, mostly covered by a lace handkerchief.

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

"Are you businessmen from outside? We have a lot of ash trees in our home, and we have many ordinary ash and scented candles that have been made. It is suitable for worshipping gods.”

"White candles are much cheaper than beeswax candles. They are enough for daily use. They have soft grass wicks, 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 man.

His world flowers are flying, birds are calling, 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, the moon and the stars appear in the blue sky at the same time, everything is the most beautiful appearance.

"Lilian, hurry up." A little sister in front was calling her.

Seeing that the businessman did not speak, the girl thought he was not interested, as if a gust of fragrant wind blew past the businessman and walked forward.

"Miss!" The businessman said suddenly, his voice was a bit loud, disturbing the people passing by nearby. He ignored the gazes of these people and stared straight at the charming back, "Miss, where is your home?"

The girl looked back and smiled, her long whip was flying, and the world of merchants was in full bloom again and everything was revived.

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

The businessman didn't hear clearly. Seeing that the girl had run away, he said anxiously, "Where is it?"

"In Fengling Garden, Grandma Wendy's house." A passerby answered his question.

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

"They seem to be merchants from outside, and I am introducing them to the candles in my house. If I can sell all the inventory before the New Year, my grandma will be very happy." Lillian still remembers when she was a child , so she recognized these people as businessmen.

Fifteen-year-old Lilian has left school. Her family rented a mountain area and planted ash trees. Their grandchildren made candles at home. After a busy year, I earned enough to eat, and even saved a little money.

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

Having a man at home is also convenient.

The Silence Collar stipulates that women can only get married and have babies after they are 16 and men 18. She was fifteen, and it was time to start seeing people.

Although Lilian has slowly let go of her dreams, she can't immediately accept these rude and unfeeling men in reality.

"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'm also inquiring about the right person. But I really don't want to leave my house and go to someone else's house."

Lilian comforted her, "Now it's popular to get married and leave home to live. 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."

"Fortunately, we are free people of the Silent Land. If we are outside, women will be ignored even if they are beaten to death by their husbands. Only here are laws specially promulgated for women to protect women's safety and property. ."

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

Although they have only been here for three or four years, they are completely unable to accept the life they had when they were children, and it is impossible for them to return to the past.

"But." The female companion suddenly thought of something and smiled a little narrowly, "Outside, it seems that the bride's first time belongs to the lord by default. If you don't like it, then Redeem it with money. If it is here with us, 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 it has been put down, the male **** is still a male god, and he will still blush.

"I'm telling the truth, do you think I don't know that men who think they are good-looking will deliberately rub in front of the lord? I'm just dreaming and not breaking 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, so unwilling!"

"Oh, stop talking." Lilian quickly covered her female companion's mouth, "Come on, it's getting dark, the family should be worried."

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

Fireflies like the Milky Way flew out from the grass by the roadside, and the two girls disappeared into the bright galaxy while laughing.

The businessman was obsessed with the girl who flew past him, but it was already dark, no matter how much he wanted, he had to solve the accommodation problem first.

After asking a few passersby, the merchants finally found the Golden Leaf Hotel and stayed there before it was completely dark.

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

The staff are all dressed in uniform, clean and beautiful, and they are all polite, just like children of nobles who have read books outside. The merchants were afraid to speak to them loudly.

There is also a bathing place near it. Many single young people go to the bathing place to clean their bodies. The price is only one or two cents. Disposable small soap tablets were also sold in the baths, and several merchants also bought them.

Yes, they couldn't wait to shower.

This soap is better than the one he has used outside. Each of them took two tablets to wash their hair and body completely, and the hot water that was washed down was jet black.

"Ah, the first time I noticed I was pretty fair. This stuff is really good, can I take some away? I mean, we can take some back and sell it."

"Yes. It is indeed a good thing. I want to bring some for my sweetheart. She must like it."

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

The merchants were frugal, the slaves crowded in the manger in the back, and they were crowded into a room of seven by themselves. There is only one bed in one room, four lying on the side, and three more on the floor, all huddled together miserably.

Fortunately, it's okay to sleep on the floor in this weather, but the service staff was a little unhappy and added a quilt to them.

I didn't expect to add a quilt. The businessmen ignored the stinky face of the waiter. They were very happy. The service here is really attentive.

"It's really extravagant, it's actually a good cotton quilt, and the outside is soft new cotton." The businessman touched the quilt and said with experience: "In general hotels, there are A reed quilt or just some hay."

"Isn't it? The quilt is so soft and clean. The quilt surface must have been washed and dried, otherwise how could it be so comfortable? Um... I smell the sun."

"Hey, I can get a good night's sleep today. It's really comfortable after taking a bath and eating. I didn't want to be near you when we didn't take a bath. It's like a pigsty."

"Then you are also a pig, and the most stinky one!"

"Sleep!"

The merchants were playing late, so they got up late the next day. Fortunately, the doors of many breakfast restaurants are still open, so they don't have to grieve their stomachs to eat dry pancakes. Having gone through yesterday's food, they can't eat this stuff again.

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

Breakfast outside is more varied and has a variety of flavors to choose from.

"Is this heaven?" Everyone closed their eyes and sniffed the mixed food smell in the air. If they could start a new day with this smell every day, then the people in this territory are really amazing Happy.

The merchants chose different foods according to their own preferences, such as burritos with sauce and lettuce, a warm bowl of vermicelli, steamed multigrain steamed buns... These are cheap and vegan. There are also expensive ones, steamed buns with meat, fried dumplings, sandwiches with sausages and eggs…

In fact, it is already cheap, the meat outside is not as cheap as here, and the merchants are 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 it instead?"

Everyone thinks it's okay.

"Guest, do you want to add pig offal? A spoonful is only three small coins. The recipe of the lord's palace uses more than ten kinds of spices." The chef used a large spoon to spoon out a spoonful of brown pigs Miscellaneous, mushrooms and a lot of dried tofu. Looking at the top layer of oil, I feel delicious, and the aroma is so strong and domineering.

The businessman glanced at the white, translucent and tasteless fans in his bowl, and then looked at the intoxicated appearance of the fans who were eating the toppings. He said cruelly, "Add a spoonful."

Just once, just once, he thought.

“Should you add sugar to the soy milk? Or salty? As long as you add a penny more, 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, it's sweet.

"Since there is soy milk, you must try the fried dough sticks with soy milk. It's not expensive, and such a big one is three copper coins."

That's right, now that you have soy milk, you should try the food that goes with it. They don't eat it every day, or just occasionally extravagantly, "Then buy one."

Adding a spoon to this one, adding a bowl to that one, seven people unknowingly ate dozens of dollars, an average of ten or so per person, which is far more than the three cents per person at the beginning.

The businessman silently held the purse tightly.

The food in this place is so delicious and expensive.

Have enough food and drink, they should do something serious, and if they don't sell their things, they have to beg to go home - because all the money is spent on food.

However, the owner of the hotel told him: "You seafood, salt, sea vegetables, seaweed, we have it in our mushroom house, and the price is still cheap. Others, the price is a little higher, some people like it, zero You can sell some of the scattered pieces, but it’s not easy to sell them all at once. Otherwise, you would find someone from the mushroom house to buy them directly?”

"Mushroom house? Did your lord's people buy it directly?" The merchant's eyes lit up. He knew that the mushroom house was the lord's property. Of course, it was 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 for management 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 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. Among dozens of people, she stands out, she is very good. In our place, it doesn't matter whether you have a noble ancestor or not. Bloodline, excellent."

"No, I'm just too surprised, I don't mean to offend." The businessman apologized repeatedly, and finally the shop owner returned to his previous good face.

Under the shop owner's guidance, the merchant found the mushroom house, and the branch manager of the mushroom house contacted the main person in charge. After waiting for a few minutes, the merchants saw the man named ' Betty's strong woman.

She is a strong woman for a reason.

Quietly led the heroine of the first divorce case, kicked off her husband who cheated on her love, and collected 70% of the family's property (20% belonged to the material compensation for the cheating), Through the lord's application conditions, he became the head of the mushroom house.

She is the flag and the idol of many women.

The merchants were very surprised to see her. They imagined that she should be a woman with a strong and fierce aura. I didn't expect it to be the very temperament and gentle woman I saw yesterday. Aggressive, not very old, and completely unrelated to rumors.

"I said, we'll meet again."

Betty is very gentle, with a bit of indescribable strength in her gentleness.

Qingchuan built a salt drying field and a seaweed farm at the port last year, so the residents are not short of salt and seaweed. Although there are few shellfish, shrimp, crab, and sea fish, it is not without. Merchants' products are not unique and necessary, which makes them unable to open their mouths.

But Betty was willing to buy their products, so that these people would not go home empty-handed.

"I can buy these things. It's not that we lack, or that the money is useless, but that we want to work with you. You bring something from the outside that we need, and we can give You offer some local specialties."

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

"Look at these, maybe you already know a lot of our quiet collar specialties today."

Betty took out a coloring book, high-quality white paper, hand-painted with expensive paints, and ordered such a book.

There are various sauces on the first page, such as soy sauce, mushroom sauce, shrimp sauce, etc. that the merchant had eaten before. Because I have eaten it, a few merchants thought it was okay. It can be used to spread bread, it is also delicious in soup, and the price is not very expensive.

And then there are soaps and soaps, both in the form of a block and in the form of the flakes they used, which are cheaper than the toiletries outside, have a strong cleaning power, and have a fragrance. This is also used, I know it is a good thing, and it can be used as a fist product.

There are even a variety of jerky and floss, which are easy to carry, both beef and pork. Spiced flavor, spicy flavor, honey juice flavor... There are many samples in Mushroom House, and Lingmin will occasionally buy some.

The merchants tried a little bit, and it was many times better than the jerky sold outside, and the price was not higher, which made people excited.

"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. Silent has a lot of meat, pork and cattle for sale. What?" the businessman asked Betty.

This question he wanted to ask for a long time.

Those rural people don't talk about it, they basically can't eat it, even the civilians living in the city outside can't eat meat a few times a year. But looking at the situation of the people here, it seems that you can buy a little meat and go home to taste it every few days. What is the situation?

"You probably don't know that many orc brothers in our territory raise cattle and sheep, so meat is often sold on the street. Generally, people with a little spare money can buy some and try it out. If you really don’t have enough money, you can also cut off some internal organs, and marinate them with spices and they won’t taste good.”

Quiet Collar implements intensive farming. According to the breeding method provided by the lord, cattle and sheep grow fast and can be farmed in large quantities, so the price of meat in Quiet Collar is not expensive. go home.

"So it is."

The businessmen were tempted, and they got together to discuss, this one wanted, that one wanted, but that's all the money, and several people argued endlessly.

Betty is no surprise.

She was originally the daughter of a businessman. She dressed up as a boy and traveled with her father since she was a child. That is to say, after getting married, he gave up his mind and devoted himself to taking care of the housework. Who knew that the dog man secretly found a lover outside.

If she was outside, Betty would have no choice but to hold back, or wait for the birth of an heir, and find an opportunity to end this unfaithful man in the future. But since she was in Silent Land and had the lord as her support, she was completely unwilling to endure it and chose to divorce.

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

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

I feel that I have a little understanding of why the lord fell into the world and fell in love with people, and it is very happy to have a good man at home.

The author has something to say:emmmm... It seems that I overestimate myself, it is too difficult to save a chapter a day, or save a chapter in two days, and add more on the number one? da~

Concubine Wan: It’s time for this palace to be beautiful again, little leaf, walking—
