Chapter 598: Popcorn Is Not A Flower
Chapter 598: Popcorn Is Not A Flower
The appearance of Pate and other orcs caused a wave of chaos. After all, although they were humanoid, their faces were ferocious and they were not easy to mess with.
"My lords, what's wrong with you?"
One of the more courageous traders looked at the panting orc and asked flatteringly.
"What's going on? We need to take a seat!" Pate raised his hand with one hand of the vendor in front of him with wide eyes, and said viciously: "Tell me where to take a seat!"
The location marked on the map is right here, but Pate only saw a huge palace. In front of him was a marble wall more than five meters high, with no edges visible on the left and right. There was a tower every ten meters, although there were no soldiers on it. But with a ballista set up, it was obvious that this was not that kind of theater.
Damn humans!
Could it be that the maps are all wrong?
This is simply unreasonable! !
"Which place do you want to occupy? In the theater?" The vendor was almost scared to death.
No wonder that guy Val ran so fast just now.
Could it be that the more than two hundred stupid men he hired yesterday were the ones in front of him? !
"That's right! It's the location of the theater. Please tell me how to get a seat there, and I can give you a silver coin as a reward!"
Peter was twitching his neck anxiously, fearing that his position would be lost if it was too late.
"You really want to give me a silver coin?!" The businessman suddenly threw away his fear.
"Of course, beast...ahem, the Wild Beast Mercenary Group keeps its word!"
Without saying a word, Pate took out a silver coin and stuffed it into the merchant's hand, urging: "You bitch, please tell me! If you don't tell me, I will tear your bones apart!"
Although the merchant's legs were hanging in the air, he still took the silver coins and gnawed them greedily.
Sterling silver! Not adulterated at all.
These strong men are indeed fools.
Smart people will never be afraid of reckless fools. The businessman looked calm and said with a smile: "The place to occupy the position is under this high wall. The building behind the wall is the Most City Grand Theater. How about it? Isn't it very good?" Spectacular? In fact, when we first came to Most City, we thought this was where the city lord lived."
"Are you queuing up here?" Pate glanced at the high wall and found that there were indeed many people surrounding it.
These people smell like copper, just like the sly-looking businessman in front of them.
It seemed that the knight guarding the city did not deceive him, and Pate did not regret paying a single silver coin, because he had plenty of money!
"Just line up here." The businessman, who had been put down by Pet, elegantly adjusted his clothes. He glanced at the bulging money bag around Pet's waist and couldn't help but think about it in his mind.
"That's right, sir," he took the initiative to explain to Pat: "The play starts at 9:30 in the morning. At that time, knights will come to count the number of people here. Then the side door of the theater will be opened to let us in, and finally we will be in the theater. Give us a seat next to some big windows."
"Sounds good!" Pate nodded excitedly, but then there was another roar in his stomach.
Then, like a chain reaction, all the orcs' stomachs began to growl.
Although they didn't eat for just one night, they were really tired yesterday. As a champion orc, Pate has the best physical strength. He plowed more than fifty acres of land alone, and the other orcs also plowed ten to twenty The area varies from acres to acres, and their work efficiency is dozens of times that of ordinary cattle!
"Gentlemen, you seem to be hungry. Watching a play on an empty stomach is not a wonderful experience."
The merchant rolled his eyes and felt that he had found an opportunity.
"Oh? What can you do? Can I pay you to help me stand for a while, and then I will take the brothers to dinner? Don't worry, we will definitely be back in half an hour at most."
"No, no, no! That's not what I meant, hehehe..." The businessman waved his hand and shook his head repeatedly.
How much money can you make by helping these stupid guys occupy positions?
Anyone who dares to charge high prices will get beaten if he inquires nearby.
His goal is to make more money!
"There's no need to bother you all to go to dinner. There are so many of you. It's a big expense to occupy a seat. And I'm just helping two guests to occupy a seat. So, why don't I buy you some special food near the theater? You must have never eaten it. , it’s called popcorn~”
A mysterious smile appeared on the merchant's face.
"Popcorn?"
"What kind of flower is that!?"
"Can you eat flowers?" All the orcs said, "Don't lie to me because I don't study well."
They are indeed a group of country bumpkins, the merchant sighed secretly.
He is a popcorn businessman himself, but he just holds a part-time position.
After all, the sales of popcorn are only very popular when the theater is open. Normally, the business is quite average, so it is very necessary to make some extra money to support the family.
"Popcorn is not a flower, it is a cereal product!" The vendor took out a bag of packaged popcorn from his coat like a magic trick and said generously:
"Here, you can try it. It's creamy. If you like it, I can help you buy some to satisfy your hunger~"
Pat watched the vendor open the popcorn and bring it to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
What a good man!
If you just give it to them to eat for free, wouldn't it be a waste if they don't like it?
Sure enough, the humans in Most City are really rich.
There wasn't much popcorn in this bag. A dozen orcs at the front grabbed a little each and then it was gone.
Pate observed the sweet-smelling popcorn in his hand. It was light yellow in color, with a little burnt black edge, and the texture was crispy when pinched. At least in terms of appearance, it was quite attractive.
He threw a few popcorn in his mouth with the intention of giving it a try. The orcs around him looked on eagerly. They held back from eating, wanting to hear how the leader felt.
"Crack, click, click!" Pate started chewing expressionlessly, his cheeks twitching slightly, but he was actually feeling extremely happy!
This, this is simply the most delicious thing in the world! !
It looks simple on the outside, but it has different layers of texture when you take one bite.
First the outer layer is crispy, then the inner layer is soft.
It's like an orc girl taking off her armor, showing off her strong and resilient body in front of the bed!
The next thing to be challenged is the tongue.
Pate felt that his taste buds were instantly activated!
What kind of recognizable taste is this?
Since he had never eaten anything like it before, he couldn't describe it.
He only knew that the sweetness of a kind of cereal exploded between his lips and teeth, and gradually intensified as he chewed, and then the milky aroma in the popcorn exploded. It was fragrant, crispy, sweet, and had a faint burnt taste that made the tip of his tongue linger. Gradually sink into the ultimate deliciousness.
"The taste is okay, but I haven't tasted it yet!"
Pate tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, said calmly, and then immediately grabbed a handful of popcorn from the orc next to him.
"I'll try it again!"
"Click, click..."
"I still almost mean it, give me yours too!"
"Click, click..."
After showing off five or six handfuls of popcorn in a row, the orcs around him gradually realized something was wrong.
One of the orcs dropped a piece of popcorn in his mouth and then got out of hand.
"This, this little flower is so delicious! So sweet! It also smells like milk!"
"My God, this is the first time I've eaten something so touching!"
An orc wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, his eyes were red, and he choked with sobs: "Ouch! Oh my god, this is the smell of Sakim (mother)!"
...
Seeing this group of strong men caught up in the food storm, the popcorn seller almost smiled crookedly.
He began to mentally price his popcorn.
From 50 coppers to 1 silver coin, and then to 5 silver coins, it has to be divided into small portions, medium portions and large portions!
"Praise capital!" He muttered silently in his heart, lowered his head and kissed the silver coin in his hand.
Have a quiet night today
