Chapter 1719 The Fish Is Hooked
That's right! Can't cook! This is why there are still a large number of guests in this hotel even though supplies are scarce and the food in the hotel is extremely expensive.
Wang Dao was also shocked when he found out. Xu Saiguo was like some nomads in the previous life. No, to be precise, they were far worse than nomads. At least they could cook and herd animals, although they couldn't. Farm, but also feed yourself.
But the people in Xu Saiguo don’t!
Xu Sai has a large population, but only less than one in ten thousand people can cook, and they basically learned it from other countries, and their cooking skills are not very good.
It seems that the people in Xu Saiguo have no talent for cooking. Obviously many people have left, watched countless people cook, and eaten countless meals, but once they get started, they have no idea what to do.
They only know one kind of cuisine, barbecue.
Roast the monster's meat over fire, then add some seasonings and you're done.
They only know this way, and usually they are either undercooked or overcooked, but they can still eat enough.
But once there is no meat, you don't know what to do at all. If you want to eat cooked food, you can only come to a restaurant, or find some chefs to cook it, or you can only eat it raw.
This is another feature of Xu Saiguo, a feature that makes people laugh or cry.
But it is precisely because of this reason that Wang Dao's plan has the best entry point.
Wang Dao looked at the dishes on the menu. They were quite complete, but the price was more than ten times more expensive than the market price.
Wang Dao showed a satisfied smile, pointed to the menu, and said to the shopkeeper, "Excuse me, shopkeeper, Si-burned Phantom Fish, Tianmu Fine Pork, Spicy Crispy Purple Moon Chicken, Vegetarian Fried Black Kite Bee, Fragrant Flying Black Beef, Stir-fried Four Yiyang, add a glazed Jinhua soup pot at the end, that’s it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Dao noticed that the entire restaurant was quiet. He turned around and found that all the diners were staring at him dumbfounded, and the shopkeeper in front of him also took the menu with a blank look on his face, his eyes dumbfounded. .
Wang Dao smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to be confused on his face and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
The shopkeeper finally came to his senses, twitched the corner of his mouth, and stammered, "You...you want so much?"
Wang Dao tilted his head, glanced at Lian Ting and others, and asked, "Where are the six of us? Six dishes and one soup is normal, right? Oh! Is the food here in Sanyuan City very big? It's okay. Just go ahead and eat." If not, we can take it away."
The shopkeeper waved his hands quickly and said, "No, that's not what I meant. I meant you...you want so much, this money...didn't you look at the vegetable prices above?"
"Look." Wang Dao seemed to have just understood something. He stretched out his hand and a money bag appeared in his palm. He smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is afraid that we can't afford it? Those dishes just now should cost about one hundred martial coins, right? These are enough." Alright?"
As he said that, he took out a crystal coin worth one hundred martial coins from his purse and handed it into the shopkeeper's hand. He also weighed the purse deliberately and made a rattling sound.
When the shopkeeper and the diners saw this, their eyes turned green. They were all quite powerful. Just from the bulging wallets, you could tell the quantity inside. And listening to the sound, they were all crystals worth hundreds of coins. The sound of coins! In other words, the military coins inside are definitely tens of thousands!
"My God of War! How come this guy has so much money?!"
"Are you kidding me? Since when did our country of Xu Sai have such a rich man?"
"Impossible! Even those big families can't afford tens of thousands of physical weapons coins!"
The diners were completely blown away. They stared directly at Wang Dao and the others, almost coming up to grab it.
Fortunately, in Xu Saiguo, although the folk customs are strong, they are very polite and will not do anything illegal. Outsiders can rob, but locals cannot. This is also their rule.
No matter how jealous they are, they are only envious and jealous. Want to get started? Haha, let alone whether you can beat the opponent, I'm afraid the other diners will hold you down as soon as you move, because your behavior is slapping the Xu Sai people in the face!
The shopkeeper swallowed hard and asked, "You... Sir, with all due respect, can I ask you how you got so much money? The current situation in Xu Saiguo seems to be..."
The shopkeeper didn't finish what he said. He believed that the young man in front of him could understand.
Of course Wang Dao understands that the country of Xusai has its own set of national policies. The general situation is that the people of Xusai must be rich together, and poor together must be poor. In Xusai, no matter what they do, they have a separate set of national policies. Regarding tax standards, no matter how much money you earn, you will still pay a lot of taxes, but what you actually receive is not much.
Of course, there are more taxes and more rights. There are many details in this, and Wang Dao has not studied it. Anyway, for a country that can be passed down for so many years, this national policy should be relatively perfect.
These are not important to Wang Dao. Wang Dao only needs to know that no matter who he is in Xu Saiguo, he will determine his personal property according to the country's property.
Now Xu Saiguo has no income due to Xu Linzhihai, which has also weakened the money in the hands of every citizen in disguise. Even big families don't have much money in their hands now, not to mention that Xusaiguo has no money at all. There are too many families.
Now Wang Dao holds tens of thousands of military coins in "cash", which is really scary to the people of Xu Sai.
And this is exactly Wang Dao’s plan!
Wang Dao glanced at Xu Duan, who nodded knowingly and danced his hands rapidly under the table.
Wang Dao looked at the shopkeeper and the diners. A faint golden light of luck began to shine on their bodies. Their faces, which were originally full of anger, also softened a bit, but they themselves did not feel it.
Wang Dao and Dong Yuanyi looked at each other and nodded without any trace. Only the two luck races of them could see this change. This proved that Xu Duan's ability had been activated and the cognition of these people had been There began to waver.
He didn't waste any more time and immediately followed the plan and said, "Well? Is this money? It comes from mining, what? Don't you know? No wonder, I said, your Sanyuan City is obviously the closest, why is it there? Not even a person, so you don’t know.”
"What?! Mining?! Or is it near our Sanyuan City? What's going on? Brother, please explain clearly!" A nearby diner couldn't sit still and hurried over and asked anxiously
"It's right in Xulin Sea. Go out from the west gate of Sanyuan City and enter Xulin Sea. Thirty miles to the west there is a vein of sky crystal. This stuff is very expensive in other places, so we dug up a little and sold it. Go and get more than 200,000 military coins. After paying the tax, there are still more than 30,000 left." Wang Dao said pretending to be cute.
"What?! A vein of sky crystal?! Do we, Xu Linzhihai, still have this thing?"
"Oh my god! I've heard that sky crystal is a rare ore, and it's very expensive outside! We Xu Lin Zhihai actually has a vein of sky crystal?"
"Huh? That's not right! How can you leave the country? Isn't it already closed? It seems that only military personnel and businesses are allowed to leave, right?"
"Nonsense! They are here to sell ore! They are considered merchants, why aren't they allowed out?"
"Yes, yes! I forgot about it, but...this doesn't seem to be in line with the national policy of our country, right? If we conquer other countries, we should benefit more than this ore, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the diners immediately hesitated, but Wang Dao and the others laughed, because this proved to have shaken their cognition, otherwise they would not have been doubting and hesitating, but would have arrested them all immediately.
The fish is already hooked!
