Otherworld Management Manual

“What are those soldiers cooking, it smells so good!”

“Is it food?”

“Could it be the food newly researched by the chef in the City Lord’s Mansion?”

“…”

Without paying attention to the crowd, Marlowe saw that the cooking was almost done, so he said to Baker and the soldiers:

“Bring your own bowls, don’t blame me for those who are slow and can’t eat!”

Hearing Marlowe’s words, the soldiers couldn’t believe it, but Baker took out two pottery bowls from nowhere and placed them in front of Marlowe with a bang.

Only then did the soldiers realize that this was really what Knight Marlowe prepared for them!

In a moment, the eight bowls were neatly placed, and the eight soldiers squatted beside the cauldron, rubbing their hands excitedly.

All the soldiers stared at the brightly colored instant noodles in the pot.

Although it was a little troublesome to use a spoon to hold the noodles, but Marlowe’s fingers were not able to control it, and soon the eight bowls were filled with about the same amount of instant noodles.

Marlowe also swallowed quietly. Although he had expected that the food called instant noodles would taste good, he didn’t expect it to be eaten yet, and the taste alone would make people greedy.

But after all, he was someone who had seen the “big scene”. Marlowe was still in a hurry on the surface. He took out the ham, peeled it off, and put it in each soldier’s bowl.

“Gulong~”

Several swallowing sounds sounded, not only from the soldiers, but also from the curious crowd eating melons.

Marlowe first took a mouthful of the fat-filled soup.

“This smell? Is there any spice in it? Fragrant!”

Marlowe was a little surprised. He had to know that the value of spices was comparable to gold. He hadn’t eaten dishes made of spices for a long time!

After taking another bite of noodles, Marlowe’s eyes widened instantly.

“good to eat!”

Baker couldn’t wait. After seeing Marlowe start, he quickly picked up the bowl, but the spoon wasn’t very good at picking up the noodles, so he just held the bowl and shoved it into his mouth.

“delicious!”

After the soldiers saw that the two knights finally started to eat, they didn’t care about their image and picked them up to eat. They were already greedy.

“Wow! It’s the first time in my life that I have tasted this flavor! It’s delicious!”

“It smells so good! Could it be spice?”

“I was fortunate enough to have seen spices once, and I felt that none of those spices had this fragrance!”

“Woooooo~ It’s so delicious! This taste reminds me of my mother who passed away!”

“Aren’t you an orphan?”

“…”

Seeing these knights and soldiers being so exaggerated, the workers loading goods on the dock, and even the merchants in command couldn’t help it.

“What is that? It smells so good!”

“It’s so delicious! Could it be better than white bread. Chi-gulong~”

“That’s right, I think it’s definitely not as good as fresh venison—Gulong~”

“It looks delicious! No, I mean it smells delicious…”

The people on the pier stopped their work and kept wiping their saliva.

Originally, they were a little hungry, and then being stimulated by Marlowe like this, it’s not worth it for the greedy.

At this moment, a chubby businessman dressed in taupe came to Marlow and the others with a smile on his face, and said respectfully:

“Lord Marlowe, can I ask you, what is the name of the food you eat? I haven’t seen it for so many years in business.”

The businessman was very polite, and Marlowe had nothing to say, he said while eating.

“It’s called instant noodles and ham sausage. Hulu~”

Listening to Knight Marlowe’s words, the merchant, the crowd on the pier, and even the soldiers were surprised. It was the first time they had seen such a strange name.

The businessman’s throat rolled, and it was really unbearable to see the other party eating so delicious in front of him. So he asked cautiously:

“Then may I ask you, sir, where can I buy this kind of food?”

“Buy? Then you probably won’t be able to buy it. This is the exclusive food of our City Lord’s Mansion.”

Marlowe shrugged regretfully.

Hearing that Marlowe said he couldn’t buy it, not only the businessman, but also the onlookers on the dock were a little disappointed.

As soon as the businessman gritted his teeth, he spoke in a somewhat flattering tone.

“Master Marlowe, would you like to sell it? The price is not a problem.”

“Oh, Warren, do you want to buy it? Unfortunately, it’s not for sale.”

Naturally, the conversation between the two could not be concealed. Most of them were heard, and some people exclaimed.

“Walun! The biggest lumber merchant in Hongye City! He still stays in Hongye City?”

“It turned out to be a big businessman, but only a big businessman can say such a good thing…”

Some people are envious.

“Ah? Not for sale?”

Warren was a little surprised. He thought that he had spoken. This must be a surefire business, but he didn’t expect that Knight Marlowe would refuse.

“Yes.”

Hearing the other party’s affirmation, Wan Lun frowned.

You must know that in this world, gold coins can buy almost everything, and the price of any territory, title, etc. is clearly marked. If you can’t buy it, you can only say that the price you offer is not high enough.

But Marlowe refused without even listening to the price, which is a little hard to accept.

Warren can become a big businessman who is famous far and wide. What he relies on is his eyesight and his ability to seize opportunities.

When he saw this novel food today, in addition to satisfying his appetite, his first thought was to transport it to other cities and sell it at a high price.

After all, he has traveled all over the world for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen food that makes people drool just by its taste.

Unfortunately, Marlowe didn’t give him a chance, but he didn’t give up.

“Lord Knight, I am willing to give out a gold coin to buy your bag of instant noodles!”

Hearing Warren’s offer, the melon eaters here suddenly became restless.

“My God, a gold coin! This is the most expensive food in Hongye City right now!”

“I can earn about one gold coin a year. How much rye bread can be bought with one gold coin!”

“If I had a gold coin, I would have left Hongye City long ago…”

“…”

Marlowe was unmoved, even though the other party got a gold coin.

“Sorry, Your Excellency, this is not something I can decide.”

But Warren heard a different meaning in Marlowe’s words. Marlowe said that he couldn’t decide, that is, someone could decide, so Warren asked again:

“Then may I ask if I can get this kind of food?”

“This is the internal supply of our City Lord’s Mansion. As long as you join the City Lord’s Mansion, you will have the opportunity to obtain it, for example – become a soldier of Hongye City.”

It was only at this time that Marlow understood why Zhang Feng asked him to do this.

“What, there is such a good thing about being a soldier? There is a chance to get food worth a gold coin!”

“I want to join the army!”

“But I don’t know what the salary of the soldiers in Red Leaf City is. I remember that it seemed to be normal before…”

“It doesn’t matter what the salary is, I just love food!”

“If I could get this instant noodles, I would sell it! A gold coin!”

“…”

When these people heard Knight Marlowe’s words, they were very moved.

Warren also showed a look of contemplation. He was going to leave tomorrow, so he planned to suspend it for now, and he might have good results if he stayed.

Marlowe glanced at them. It seemed that his publicity effect was not bad. He was thinking about how to complete the task, but he didn’t expect an assist.

“Then, Knight Marlowe, how can I meet the Lord of the City?”

“The Lord of the City will hold an event in a few days. If you don’t leave, I think you should have a chance to meet him.”
