Chapter 174

It's another day.

"Ah..."

Out of the door, Billy stamped his foot, and the chill on his face made him shiver. He breathed a sigh at his hand and then walked towards the door.

As a noble servant, Billy has been used to his daily routine of work and life. In other people's eyes, to work for the nobility means to be superior, to wear bright clothes and to speak high. But Billy knew that the job was far less leisurely than it seemed.

As the head of the kitchen, Billy is under a lot of pressure these days. No, it should be said that every winter, he feels a lot of pressure. Since this period of time, his host is complaining about the same food, no new ideas. But Billy has no way. There are only these kinds of vegetables in winter every year. Even if he wants to make a flower, it's impossible.

Now the only thing Billy can do is to go to the morning market early every day to see if the mountain hunters can catch some rare game or catch some big fish. If so, he can change the dishes in the kitchen. Otherwise, his master will complain that he is tired of eating these things sooner or later. If he can't, he will change to a kitchen manager. Although the host only talks about it every year, but Who knows if he will be serious this year?

"Ah..."

Thinking of this, Billy sighed again, then quickened his pace towards the morning market. It's just the dawn of the day and the gate of the city has just been opened. If you want to buy good things, it's estimated that it's early You know, there is not only one aristocrat in the whole city of keha, but also Billy, who is threatened to be fired by his master.

Billy can still remember that two days ago, a hunter managed to beat a wild boar. As a result, he was robbed by others when he entered the market. Thanks to his cleverness, he got a hind leg. But there are also some idiots who didn't get anything. It's like the unfortunate guy next door. When he heard that his host was invited to lunch by his own host, he broke his leg and threw the guy out.

Because that poor fool didn't get a piece of boar meat.

Billy shuddered at the thought of that scene, and then he quickened his pace again - the market was close at hand.

At this moment, the sun has not yet fully risen from the horizon, the market is still shrouded in the shadow of the city wall, only a few lights are dimly bright. At this moment, the vendors who enter the city have already started to set up stalls. In order to prevent accidents, the regulations of keha City allow the outside vendors to enter the city one hour in advance, and then prepare for business. When Billy and other residents get up, the morning market is almost open.

It's just

"There seems to be nothing good..."

Looking at the fresh vegetables on the left and right sides, Billy didn't have much interest for a while. Today, it seems that there is no such lucky person again, so after a short sweep, Billy turned around and planned to leave.

But at this time, Billy's nose was keen to catch a strange aroma.

It was a familiar aroma to Billy, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it for a moment. But Billy turned around and looked at the smell. He is very confident about his nose. It is because of his nose that he hasn't been fired by his host for so many years as a kitchen manager.

so Billy can be sure that what he smelled just now is not what perfume is, nor is it any other aroma, but the smell of food and the smell of fruit.

Where on earth is it!?

Billy looked around like a guard searching for a suspect. If he was dressed in armor, the man would be more responsible than the guards.

Soon, Billy found a strange stall

which is located at the end of the morning market. Judging from this position, this stall should have just joined. An old man was standing behind the stall, half closed his eyes. Unlike other stalls, there are no food or meat products for sale. On the contrary, on the cart, there are only cartons, which look bigger than the boxes for cakes, but they can't see what's inside.

Is there something new that those pastry makers have come up with?

With this idea in mind, Billy went to the paver and looked at the old man in front of him. Soon, he found that beside the cart, there was a card with the words "one box for each person, one box for each gold coin".

What the hell, a gold coin?

Are you kidding me?

Looking at the paper box the size of the cake box in front of him, Billy only felt ten thousand alpacas galloping by. What was in it? So valuable, a gold coin?

"What's in it, old man?"

But Billy could not suppress his curiosity and asked. The old man opened his eyes, looked at him, and then gave an answer.

"Just buy it."Just buy it

Hearing this answer, I'm a little bit worse than the interest rate. What else do you do?

He finally understood why the stall was out of business, and its original location was so remote. As a result, he didn't feel interested in doing business at all!

But

Do you want to buy it?

Looking at the carton in front of him, Billy really hesitated. As the kitchen manager, he could still take out a gold coin. And he was sure that if he had just smelled right, the fragrance would have come from this stall. After all, he saw it just now. There is nothing else to sell around here. But In case Forget it, take a bet!

Billy gritted his teeth, took a gold coin and handed it to him.

"Give me a box."

"No problem. Pick your own box and take it."

The old man held out his hand for the gold coin, and then pounced on the box in front of him. Seeing his attitude, Billy sighed helplessly, then picked a box casually, and looked at the stall owner again.

"Well, may I open it now?"

"Of course, if you buy it, it's yours."

"That's good. I'll see what's in it for you to play such a fool."

He glared at the old man fiercely. Billy opened the box directly, and then he was stunned.

The first thing that comes is the fragrance of fruit. The smell mingled with the cold air and even made Billy feel fresh. But soon, he focused on the five red fruits in the paper box, their smooth and bright red appearance, and even a few drops of dew. It seemed as if they had just been picked, but more importantly, it was Orange fruit!!

Billy's eyes widened. For a moment, he was almost ready to shout. But soon, his reason forced Billy to shut up. He couldn't believe his eyes. He even reached out and touched the fruit in the carton - yes, it's an orange. But why are there oranges here? And it's still so fresh? Isn't it winter?

Before, Billy thought that a box of gold coins was too expensive, but now, he only felt that it was too cheap! He knows that his master likes oranges best! Not to mention that these oranges are so fresh that they have just been picked up. If they can, let alone a box of gold coins, they will buy a box of 100 gold coins!

"Here, I'll take all of them!"

Forced to restrain his excitement and nervousness, Billy said in a low voice that he didn't know where the oranges came from, but he could see such fresh oranges in the winter This kind of thing only can happen in the dream!

"I'm sorry, it says, one box per person."

But the old man was not moved at all. He just gave him a light look and said. But when he heard the old man's reply, Billiton couldn't calm down.

One box per person? How can this be enough?

"Do you know who I am? I'm... "

"Oh, my God, tangerine!"

But before Billy finished, there was a scream in his ear. When he heard the sound, Billiton gave a "clatter" in his heart. Then he turned his head and found a man standing beside him, staring at the orange fruit in his box.

Damn, I just talked to the old man and forgot to hide the oranges in my hand!

Thinking of this, Billy also hastily covered the box and tried to take it back. But the man suddenly stepped forward and directly stepped in. He glanced at the sign next to him and then waved his hand.

"I'll take all these, and you'll send them to the tax official's residence at once!

"Wait, I came first!"

Billy didn't have time to get angry. When he heard that the other party dares to rob his own business, he rushed over. It's me first, whether it's inquiry or purchase

"I want you to send these to the law enforcement officials! Double price! "

At the same time, other people gathered around. Many of them were surprised to see the orange in Billy's hand. At the moment, I can't bear to hear that these two people want to make a circle!

"I'll pay three times! Send these to the Lord's mansion! "

"I'll pay five times, and babarov chamber of commerce is willing to buy it all!"

For a moment, the scene became a mess, and the old man was standing in the same place, until the others did not speak, he coughed.

"The rules are there, one box for each, first come, first served."

"Wait, you old man, do you know who we are?"

Hearing the old man's reply, those customers were immediately upset. They were all subordinates of nobles and officials. You bad old man, how dare you make them look pale?"I don't know who you are, but I want to make it clear that this is the property of the alchemists Association."

"What?"

Hearing this, the people who originally rushed up to take the stall away by force immediately stepped back, and then they found that there was the mark of the alchemists Association on the stall!

If it's just an ordinary person, they might do it, but the alchemists association is different. Their influence on the whole world is huge, even greater than that of mages. Because mages need talent after all, and the alchemists association has an impact on people's lives in all aspects - you can't let those people who don't have magic talent perform a cold spell in summer.

After all, these people are just dogs. If they offend the alchemists Association, it will be their own misfortune. But even so, they will not miss the opportunity. I saw these people looked at each other, and then rushed up again without hesitation.

"Give me a box!"

"Me too!"

"This is mine. No one is allowed to rob it!"

Just when the crowd was crowded, Billy had quickly turned away with his own oranges. Now he just wanted to go back and start more followers to buy them. Anyway, the old man said only one box for each person, but he didn't say only one box for each family, did he? He believed that as long as his master saw these fresh oranges, he would certainly praise himself!

More and more people came after hearing the news. Soon, the whole market was packed. Before long, the whole car of oranges was sold out. As a result, the people behind can only look at the cart and sigh, but there is no way.

At the same time, those who are as lucky as Billy have returned to their master with their oranges.

When these fresh and sweet oranges appeared in front of the dignitaries, the whole city of keha was shocked!
