Become the city lord from today

The night in Xiyang City is very quiet. There are dark clouds in the sky, blocking the moonlight and providing a lot of convenience to some people with ulterior motives.

The dark streets were quiet, but full of sour smell, which made Mina, a cat orc, very disgusted. She missed her soft bed in the castle and the unusually soft quilt.

I heard from the young master that it is a quilt made of many small duck feathers. It is called an eiderdown quilt... I guess that's what it is? She still missed polished rice porridge more. She decided to eat three bowls of lean meat polished rice porridge after completing the task.

Mina walked silently, moving at a slow pace, her eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly, her cat ears twitching, and she was always in the shadows as she walked.

Her goal was to be in the east of Xiyang City, where rich people lived. Today she got news that several grain merchants would gather at one of them.

When Mina touched the place where the grain merchants gathered, she found that it was very lively. Compared with the lives of other people, they were completely different worlds.

Mina silently entered the hall from the shadow corner to the rafters. She looked at the food placed by the maid below and couldn't help curling her lips. It didn't arouse her appetite at all.

Large chunks of pork below, as well as wheat bread made from refined wheat, were piled on the table, as well as pots of wheat wine.

Three or four days ago, Mina might have drooled over these foods, but she would feel very satisfied after taking one bite.

But now, she was full of disdain. The fishy smell of the large piece of pork boiled in salt water could be smelled from a distance; the wheat bread as thick as an arm could be used as a stick.

Mina compared the braised pork made by Mei, the soft bread made by Nicole, and the food on the table below, it should be the pig food that the young master mentioned.

Mina didn't have to wait long before the grain merchants came in from outside. The maids were kicked out, and several strong guards guarded the door.

"Wow! My friend, the food tonight is very rich. The pork is rotten and sweet."One of the grain merchants shouted very excitedly. He grabbed the pork with his hands and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's really delicious, even better than what my chef makes. This wheat bread is full of aroma."The other grain merchant was more like a starving ghost, chewing pork in one hand and wheat bread in the other.

"Everyone enjoyed themselves, this was held according to the aristocratic banquet, everyone should eat more."A fat grain merchant said happily, and he poured ale wine into his mouth.

Mina on the rafter, looking at the eating faces of the people below, almost vomited.

The black fingernails were holding Food, and that greasy beard; Mina compared her current life in the castle, it was really the difference between heaven and hell.

She thought about it for a moment and found that the other nobles seemed to be in the same situation, and everyone caught them with their hands. When eating, at most it will be paired with a beautiful knife

"Could it be that the young master is the real noble?"

Mina had such a question. There are several ways to eat meat in the castle. To eat steak, you use a knife and fork, and to eat fried meat, you use chopsticks made of two wooden sticks.

She remembered that she and Nicole, first When eating steak, I felt like laughing when I saw the confused look on the knife and fork. It was the young master who taught them to use the knife, fork and chopsticks to eat steak.

"In other words, can I still live the life I am living with the princess?"Mina was thinking wildly in her mind.

While they were eating and chatting below, they all talked about gossip at first, such as which grain merchant made more money, and which merchant mixed coarse wheat with refined wheat, but sold it at the price of refined wheat.

After several grain merchants had had enough wine and food, they all burped a few times and laughed happily,"Hahaha... It feels so good!""

"Everyone has eaten, and it’s time to talk about business."The obese grain merchant said seriously.

"Tell me, when you called us here, it was definitely not as simple as eating alone."

The fat grain merchant nodded, glanced at the people present, and said in a slightly lowered voice,"Everyone should know that the autumn wheat harvest is only a few days away. When the wheat harvest is bumper, our wheat prices will plummet, right?"

"Indeed, ours is old wheat that has been harvested, which is worse than the newly harvested wheat."Recognized by grain merchants

"Are prices going to be raised again? It was only mentioned once in the past two days, so it has been so long since the price has been raised again, I am afraid that the public will make a fuss."A grain dealer said worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? Don't they buy wheat? As long as we don't sell wheat for five or six days, many people will starve to death. Who dares to make trouble?"The obese grain merchant said disdainfully.

"Indeed, as long as we unify the price, those people will have to buy even if they don’t want to."

"The only thing I'm worried about is whether the city lord will suppress us. You know, the city lord has recruited more than a hundred soldiers today."A grain dealer said worriedly.

"laugh……"The fat grain merchant smiled disdainfully,"Are you afraid of those newly recruited militiamen? They are not knights."

"When the new city lord has trained all the militiamen, the autumn harvest has come, and we have made enough, everyone will leave Xiyang City. What are we afraid of?"

The fat grain merchant stood, waving his hands and said passionately,"And, are you afraid? This new city lord has no ability and has cut himself off from the rest. He has been exempted from so many taxes. He has more than a hundred people to support. Do you think the wheat should be sold to him?"

"Hahaha... If you obey, you will sell to him. If you don't, you will not sell. Those militiamen will cause trouble if they have no food to eat."

"I'll update this early in the morning, please add it to your collection, ask for flowers, and ask for comments."
