Chapter 136

Cecil has indeed always wanted to extradite a food god. After all, ordinary people can’t get rid of food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. It is easy to promote and will not conflict with local gods, but he has worked hard for so long, and he has produced a lot of food. He was so disappointed that no food god came over, and he gradually stopped working so hard.

Even so, Yuecheng's food style is still widely spread along with tea, such as steamed buns, soup dumplings, skewers, and noodles are all very popular.The "caravan" created by Yuecheng has almost become a fixed entertainment place like a movie theater in Tanbuni Tower. After Cecil cut off the publicity expenses, they left the government-run status. Without funds and subsidies, their life was not very good. In an instant, more than half of them fell. Many people returned to Moon City to look for new jobs, and some of them liked this line of work. Created new plays and kept popularity.

Naturally, this group of people unintentionally promoted the food invented by Yuecheng. Now, the common people in Luoye Bay will cook similar meals.

Cecil knew all these things, but he couldn't spare his hands to do this work for the time being, so he let it go.Before the people from the Magic Food Alliance came, he went through the relevant situation in a hurry, and went to meet with some doubts.

"Good day, may magic shine on your country, Your Majesty the King." The representative of the Magic Food Alliance laid a thunderbolt on Cecil as soon as he came up. This kind of greeting is a forbidden sentence for him, but he really can't blame others, " Thank you very much for your visit."

This representative looks very weird, with a huge nose and super thick black hair, all tied in a bun on the top of his head, like an upside-down braid, his eyes are very large, giving the impression that he is deliberately make faces.

"Good day, Master Mage, forgive me for not being good at politeness." Cecil decided to make a quick decision, "You can directly say what you are here, and you don't have to be polite."

The middle-aged mage seemed confused, hesitated for a moment and said: "We want to jointly promote the food of Moon City with you."

Cecil was silent for a while, and said in an unbelievable tone: "Are you the Magic Food Alliance?"

The implication is that promoting my food steals your business?

The middle-aged mage blushed and stammered, "This...actually, uh, it's like this. We want to promote your food, but can you claim that some food is made by magic?"

Cecil: "..."

Are you out of your mind?

Through a not-so-short conversation, Cecil finally understood the ins and outs and perfectly answered his doubts.

The Magic Food Alliance is not monolithic either. There are "Magic Noble Faction" who are stubborn to death, and there are also "Innovative Reform Factions". It is self-evident which faction is dominant.Faced with the approaching common food, the Magic Food Alliance shouldn't have any sense of crisis. After all, the needs of the two people are completely different. However, when tea and beef jerky are perfect portable foods, magic The Food Coalition's bottom line was touched.

Taste aside, high-end magic food is only good enough to be beaten. The advantage lies in its extreme health. The problem is that health cannot be reflected in a short period of time, but the taste of eating it can be seen immediately.The remaining function is to satisfy the hunger. In terms of portability, magic food is of course superior to ordinary food. A low-level mage can create enough food for ten adult strong men for a day, and it can be perfectly stored without worrying about mold and deterioration. However, This item was hanged because of the mages' "raise the price of magic". Even now, they can't suddenly lower the price of magic food. This will not only stimulate the mages' self-esteem but also greatly reduce their income.

Another problem is that although the Magic Food Alliance has the same name as the Mage Alliance and has mastered most of the food-related magic, it is still a small role in the entire magic world. The leader of the organization is actually a mid-level mage. Not to mention ordinary members, any low-level mage can join as long as they apply.

To put it bluntly, they are commoners in the magic world

Ordinary food is becoming more and more popular, what should we do?

Some mages even devote their entire lives to food magic and know no other magic at all. If no one needs magic food anymore, his livelihood will be cut off.The embarrassing economy and dark future prompted them to finally reach an agreement, sending this representative to probe the ideas of Cecil, the new king, to see if they could reach a cooperation.

The idea of ​​the Magic Food Alliance is very simple, let Yuecheng produce new food, and then declare it to be magic food, so as to save face and continue to earn huge income.

"Is it magic food? Others can detect it right away?" Cecil asked puzzled.

"It doesn't matter, we can mix some magic water in it." The middle-aged mage seemed to come prepared, seeing that Cecil didn't drive him out on the spot, he immediately cheered up, "No matter how you test it, there will be no problems. !"

Cecil sighed: "What good will it do me?"

"Magic food is healthier!" The middle-aged mage said in a panic. After finishing this sentence, he got stuck, and after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "And...and the price of magic food is also very high! "

Cecil felt a little sympathetic to these mages, but sympathy should not be taken for granted. Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly thought of something: "What is the price for the magic food you sell?"

"Of course it's a magic coin." The tone of the middle-aged mage was taken for granted and a little inexplicable, "What else can it be? Oh, if it's relatively rare magic knowledge or a maze scroll, it can also be discussed."

Cecil heard nothing else, and all he could think of was "magic coins."

You can earn magic coins, and you earn them with food, so what’s the difference from giving them for free?

Thinking of this, Cecil's expression changed immediately, and he said enthusiastically, "Why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving, and we'll talk about the details later."

Dinner is still a gathering, but now the king and the four kings are riding. Today, a representative of the Magic Food Alliance was added. He was not reserved at all, but after seeing Langdon, he looked shocked like a fanboy meeting an idol. Authentic: "Your Highness Langdon, you are really here!"

"Otherwise?" Langdon asked a little amusedly, "I think you have already met my majesty the king.

"Yes, yes, ah! I really didn't expect that I could actually see you with my own eyes! I was listening to you when you demonstrated and analyzed that legendary spell in the Mage League last time!"

"Really?" Langdon said kindly, "Do you understand?"

"I'm sorry... I don't understand." The middle-aged mage said anxiously, "Maybe I didn't work hard enough. If I study for decades, I should be able to touch the threshold."

You can't understand what you study for a lifetime, brother, give up.

Cecil silently repaired the knife in his heart, and at the same time remembered a question that had always existed: Why His Highness Langdon?Shouldn't it be His Royal Highness Chris?Why do they always call Langdon by his first name no matter how close or distant he is?And why Your Highness?Templars don't have that title, do they?

Of course, this matter cannot be mentioned at the dinner table. The topic of everyone still revolves around the proposal of the middle-aged mage. Of course, the middle-aged mage thinks so. up.

"According to your opinion, how many audiences will there be for ordinary food that is delicious and beautiful?" Russell is of course the most active one. He manages.

"It should be quite a lot." When it comes to the professional field, the middle-aged mage finally has some confidence, "Mages will also have frequent banquets, such as exchange meetings or private parties. Three to five days is a common occurrence, although some of them are indeed real exchanges, and the participants don’t eat much, just stuff a little magic bread, but most of them... Ah, please don’t get me wrong, I mean, Well, for a part of it, studying magic is just an excuse, and it’s the real thing for everyone to have fun together. Besides, there are nobles and kings, and court banquets are often or necessary, and non-magic food is not used.”

This is true. So far, Cecil's food craze has only occupied civilians and private dining. On occasions like banquets, there is no ordinary food at all except tea.

This is a pretty broad market.

Cecil thought for a while and said, "You are an expert, please tell me, is there any organization in the market that specializes in banquets?"

"I've never heard of it." The middle-aged mage said, "Generally speaking, this is the housekeeper's business. Anyway, people who can afford this kind of banquet always have such a person by their side, not only because they are familiar with the habits of the host, but also because it is safer. "

Cecil thought of the attendant who often appeared beside the former Lord Biers.

"Then if there is an organization that can provide a full range of banquet services, including food, venue dressing, etc., will anyone be willing to pay for it?"

"This..." The middle-aged mage looked embarrassed, and said tactfully, "It seems to overlap with the work of the housekeeper."

"It doesn't matter, the housekeepers will soon understand that he knows too little." Cecil said confidently. He has been engaged in wedding celebrations for half a year, and he is barely half an expert. However, He suddenly thought that now is a magical world, "So what, is there that kind of mage who specializes in serving banquets? For example, conjuring flowers to put on the table."

"This is too wasteful." The middle-aged mage said, "Conjuring flowers out of thin air without any materials is at least an intermediate level of shaping or life magic. A mage of this level personally participates in the preparation of the banquet. I am afraid that only legendary mages or Only a super legendary mage can afford it."

"What about keeping the color of the flowers?" Cecil asked.

"Well, the level of this spell is a bit low, but it's still very wasteful." The middle-aged mage frowned, "It's the same sentence, unless it's the mage's teacher or some important person named, otherwise why let a mage do these jobs? ? You can pay big bucks, but that's another story."

Cecil nodded, having a general understanding of the situation in the banquet market, and happily said: "From this point of view, brother, our cooperation is still very possible!"

The middle-aged mage smiled for the first time.

In the next few days, Cecil asked the middle-aged mage to go back to report the letter first, and he found several people and the relevant person in charge of the cafeteria to discuss the project about the "Banquet Etiquette Company".

Others' first question is: "What is a company?"

"Oh, it's equivalent to a business firm, an alliance, etc. A company means that it's a company that everyone raises funds for. One person will implement the specific affairs, but the cost can be shared by many people, so it is considered a company." Cecil nonsense, He just wasn't used to titles like Alliance Firm, and he always had to make a turn in his mind.

"Is there still a private company?" Moyer asked.

Cecil: "No, but there are limited stock companies and unlimited stock companies. In short, this is a matter of leaving aside for the time being. Let's talk about the business first. Have you found the soybeans?"

Chickpeas can be used to make tofu, but they cannot produce bean sprouts, or the bean sprouts produced are not the kind of bean sprouts Cecil is familiar with, and the taste is different. On the one hand, he is not sure whether chickpeas can be used to make soy sauce, on the other hand, he also Can't make soy sauce.So, he assigned a task for people to find soybeans and various seasonings from various sources. He wrote detailed descriptions of these things, and some even drew pictures.

"I found it." The person in charge of the cafeteria said with a red face. After the knight in charge left, this Ebo boy who learned how to cook from a handyman and then promoted to a chef has grown into a qualified leader. , I have made tofu, but the making of soy sauce has never been successful. We tried several times, either it was air-dried or moldy, and those moldy ones have also been fermented, but... would you like to see for yourself?"

"Okay, where is it?" Cecil said, about to stand up.

The person in charge of the cafeteria directly brought up a burlap bag from under the table, and displayed it on the table in front of Cecil. You don’t need to look at him to know that this thing has failed. The beans are dark brown, exuding a strong musty smell and a smell Indescribable stench.

"Where's the water?" Cecil asked.

The person in charge took out a bamboo tube. After the discovery of bamboo, bamboo tubes, bamboo bowls, bamboo pots, and bamboo chopsticks have appeared widely. Except for chopsticks, which are not popular due to the difficulty of using them, the other items are basically must-haves for the residents of Yuecheng. up.For this reason, Cecil also allocated a part of the bamboo planting, afraid that these people would dig out the bamboo. After all, there are only a few bamboos in that area. In addition, the bamboo should be transplanted to the warmer coast. , because that area will be the main production area of ​​paulownia in the future, and there is no place for it.

Cecil took the bamboo tube and smelled the dark liquid, which smelled of salty rancidity. He mustered up the courage to taste it, but it only tasted salty, bitter and astringent, not at all like soy sauce.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's not long before the beans arrive. We'll definitely succeed if we try a few more times." The young man said with some embarrassment, "Please believe me!"

The major workshops in Moon City have formed an atmosphere of repeated experiments and bold innovations. This is a vivid manifestation of what is good at the top and what is going on below.

"It's okay." Cecil said, "Now, we have mages who specialize in magic food, they will help us solve the problems of fermented substances and microorganisms, and you can also consider using fish and shrimp to make fish sauce, method and soy sauce Same, just try more.”

"Well, I understand." The young man seemed a little ashamed, scratching his hair uncomfortably, "I will work hard, Your Majesty! Please, please don't drive me away! I like Moon City! I like here!"

Cecil was taken aback: "Who said you were going to be driven away?"

"In the past, the owner of Biers was the one, and there were fire and flame goblins... who said that if you didn't complete your task, you would be lit with sky lanterns." The boy's voice became lower and lower.

Cecil said angrily: "Do you know what lighting a sky lantern is?"

"do not know."

"...It's okay, I'll scold those Smurfs later." Cecil gritted his teeth and said, "I won't drive you away, I swear." Seeing that the young man still didn't dare to look up, he added, " I swear on Emerson's umbrella!"

The young man raised his head and let out a sigh of relief.

After the Battle of the Gods, Emerson's name became popular in Moon City. Not only did tens of thousands of believers become more users, but the more than 1 residents of Moon City even offered their very pious beliefs. Among them, the wagon workers died. Loyalty among the loyal.

Cecil turned to the other side: "Are you the person in charge of the 'Caravan' project?"

This is a very handsome young man, with a little more charm than human beings. He feels that he has inhuman blood. He has blond hair and blue eyes with bronze skin, full of sunshine.Back when the gay knights were still there, it was said that several knights fought for him and won the title of "disaster" in the regiment. Unfortunately, he was a straight straight man, and even the female admirers were all defeated. , devoted all his attention to the script, thinking all day about writing a legendary story that will be passed down in history.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will return to China after the 'Caravan' project is over, and I have been working in the domestic performance crew." The young man replied energetically, "The crew is moving recently, and I am also on vacation."

Cecil was a little dazed about the word "domestic" for a while. When he came back to his senses, he found that other people in the meeting were staring at him. A short play?"

"How short?" When talking about the career he loves, the young man immediately got into the mood, "How many scenes? How big is the venue?"

"I need this script to be controlled within fifteen to twenty-ten minutes. It must not be long, but it needs to be fascinating. The scene... can be adjusted arbitrarily, that is, for example, this time the venue is relatively large, and it can be complicated. A story is performed in a small venue, and a simple background can also set off the atmosphere. During this time period, you can set up a few scenes at will, don’t pay too much attention to this, and you can experiment more.”

"The audience of these dramas are nobles, kings and mages, and we should pay attention to the content." Because the "Caravan" project is deeply rooted in the masses, these three types of people often play villains in the dramas, and now we want to do these three types of "villains" The business is gone, so naturally it can't be copied as it is.

"Okay, Your Majesty." The young man smiled.

"Also, I told you to bring some people who make the scenery?" Cecil asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty, she is." The young man pointed at the girl next to him, furtively blinked, "Although she has never followed the 'Caravan' project, she has learned painting since she was a child, and her ideal is to be a painter! "

Maybe it's a personal relationship?

Cecil doesn't care about this. After all, there are too many people and he really doesn't have the time to choose them himself. Anyway, he will change them if he can't finish the job. Corruption really doesn't exist now, because there is no channel, and the money is no more than these people. Dedicated people, this is the rule established by Oakes, Russell expanded this system, found some trustworthy people, and established the original financial system of Yuecheng.

The little girl was a little shy, but quickly mustered up her courage: "Your Majesty, what do you want to draw?"

"Actually, it's not just a painting." Cecil talked about the concept of the overall set, "Do you think it's okay?"

"That is to say, you want to move the actual scene indoors in a non-magic way?" The little girl did not veto it outright, but showed a thoughtful expression.

"It's not necessarily copying, but using an artistic technique, such as a waterfall, without real water flowing from top to bottom. Of course, real water is definitely the best effect. If you can't do this, you can white The silk cloth... Oh, if there is no silk, then the magic cloth... no, the magic cloth is too expensive, then let's use the white feathers, get some animal feathers, wash them and weave them, don't weave them to death, weave them into A fluffy one, hanging from top to bottom and getting some wind, doesn’t it feel like a waterfall?” Cecil gave an example enthusiastically.

The little girl blinked her eyes and said, "It's not like, there are no splashes of water."

Cecil: "..."

Whose silly girl is this, I can't talk anymore!

"We can mix some pearls in the middle of the feathers, and it will be perfect if they fall off from time to time." The little girl didn't notice the problem at all, and continued, "You can also spray the water, just let people spray it with water in their mouths. It's all non-magical!"

Cecil did not expect that there would be a follow-up, and said happily: "Yes, that's how it feels. You can change the layout according to the identity, location, and theme of the party host, and create an environment. But remember, you must not use magic or magic. Use less magic, so you can save a lot of money."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty the King!" The little girl clenched her fists and stood up like a rainbow, "I will definitely be able to create a unique scene! Come on, Luciana! Come on, Moon City! Come on, King Cecil His Majesty!"

Cecil: "..."

Secondary school is really a common language beyond the world.

All kinds of things have been arranged, and Cecil felt that the preparations were almost done, and it was time to enter the market inspection, so he submitted an entry application to Tambunita. There is no consumption in this area in Yuecheng, and the largest household is probably the largest. It was Langdon, and no one had any demand for this in the near future.

Cecil doesn't have much chance to run around now, and Langdon won't let the small project go. The newly established "Banquet Etiquette Company" is owned by Moyer and O'Casey.Moyer couldn't be released alone, it was prone to accidents, and O'Casey was too rigid to be suitable for this kind of work, so he had to use it with husband and wife.

As a result, Tambunita rejected the entry application of the Moon City personnel.
