Chapter 5 - Zhang Bancheng
Looking at the circle on the map, Zhang Feng asked in disbelief for a while:
“Your Excellency Pansy, are you saying that the entire residential area in the central area is mine?”
“Yes, Your Excellency Zhang Feng, as long as you sign the agreement now, these are yours.”
Although Pansy likes this piece of “Queen’s Bread” very much, he has not forgotten his professionalism. He took out a thick stack of parchment paper from his bag and handed it to Zhang Feng respectfully.
Zhang Feng was afraid that there was something tricky, so he asked Keton, who was already stunned, to help him.
“That’s right, the contract is similar to what I had before.”
The contract is not complicated. To put it simply, after signing the contract, as long as Zhang Feng does not do anything that harms Hongye City and Baron Charles, then he will permanently enjoy the right to use these houses, including the land.
“The contract is fine, but are you sure you only want this piece of bread?”
Zhang Feng pointed to the can of beer and a few compressed biscuits.
It was only then that Pan Xi remembered that Zhang Feng had taken out three items, which could be put together with “Queen’s Bread”, even if it wasn’t a treasure, it wouldn’t be too bad.
“Your Excellency Zhang Feng, forgive my shallow knowledge, can you introduce these two items?”
“These are compressed biscuits. They are delicious and nutritious. One piece a day can ward off hunger. You can try it first. I don’t mind.”
Zhang Feng must have something to say.
Pansy carefully took out a compressed biscuit, then pulled off a leftover with all his might, and put it into his mouth impatiently.
“Hmm! This smell…”
Pansy’s eyes widened suddenly, her face full of shock and surprise.
“It’s so fragrant! It’s so crisp! It smells like fresh milk, as well as vanilla, honey, and refined salt…”
Looking at Pan Xi who had fallen into self-intoxication, if Zhang Feng hadn’t eaten it himself, he would have almost believed it.
Isn’t it just some puffed powder with sugar, salt, oil, etc., how can it be as good as he said.
“This must be a delicacy that only the palace can have! It’s my lifetime honor to eat such a piece!”
Pansy closed her eyes and looked happy.
Pansy’s exaggerated actions made Keton beside him also a little itchy. He was also a person who once owned a biscuit. Although he didn’t stay in his hands for a long time, he didn’t regret it. After all, the real estate in Hongye City It is far more important than satisfying one’s own appetite.
“Your Excellency Pansy, you can try the beer again, I believe you won’t be disappointed.”
Pan Xi opened his eyes with some reluctance, as if he was still immersed in the aftertaste, but when he heard Zhang Feng’s words, he immediately calmed down and asked curiously:
“Isn’t the beer in the palace different from what we commoners drink?”
He had already assumed that Zhang Feng had a relationship with the royal family, and Zhang Feng didn’t explain it. He personally helped him open the can.
This novel way of opening made both Pansy and Cotton widen their eyes.
呲~
Cotton brought a somewhat cracked pottery bowl, but Pansy didn’t care. He took the pottery bowl and respectfully handed it to him. Zhang Feng poured about a mouthful into it, and then motioned Pansy to taste it.
Beer in this world is slightly fermented, with very low alcohol concentration, often deteriorated and sour, and there is no hops, but compared to water, it has a certain degree of sterilization.
This beer is completely different from the craft beer brought by Zhang Feng. Although Zhang Feng doesn’t know this, he guesses that the beer produced by his modern industry must be different from the beer in this underdeveloped world.
When Pansy saw this golden transparent liquid slowly flowing out of this weird bottle, he knew that this must be an amazing beer!
It doesn’t smell like any other beer, but has a faint fragrance. For someone like him who has been drinking beer as water since he was a child, he can clearly feel the difference of this beer!
Gollum~
Without any hesitation, Pansy drank it in one gulp.
The full aroma of barley fills his mouth instantly. At first, there is a little bit of bitterness, but after fine tasting, there is a strong aroma and glycol. This kind of peculiar feeling has never happened to him in the decades of his life.
“Cool!”
A faint pink appeared on Pansy’s face. I don’t know if it was the effect of alcohol or too much excitement.
“Lord Pansy, how much do you think this beer and biscuits are worth?”
“This…”
Pan Xi reluctantly put down the bowl, then frowned in thought.
Standing behind him is the City Hall. He will hand over most of the things he gets. He knows that if you give cookies and beer to those gentlemen, they will definitely support their decision!
For himself, being able to exchange for a piece of Queen’s bread is blood earned, this is not to satisfy his appetite, he is not so extravagant yet.
For him, this piece of bread represents a symbol of wealth and status. If this piece of bread is dedicated to some great lord who is not bad for money, he will definitely get a good title, or with a little operation, he will be able to earn a Big gold coins!
After all, these things are in short supply for the king, and theoretically it is impossible to flow out of the palace!
So Pansy made up her mind and said:
“Your Excellency Zhang Feng, do you think this is okay? I want all of your three things. I will divide the business area and residential area in the center of Hongye City to you. You have the permanent right to use it, and then I will compensate you. How about 10 gold coins?”
After Pan Xi finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Feng with some hope, for fear that he would not agree.
Zhang Feng was a little surprised. Although this Hongye City is a Hongye Village in Zhang Feng’s opinion, it is pitifully small, but there are more than 1,000 people living here. The price of land in the center of the city is definitely not low, and even ordinary people can’t buy it. , not to mention that he added 10 more gold coins.
For a normal civilian family, according to the calculation of three people, the annual expenditure is equivalent to about 1 gold coin, and the value of 10 gold coins is not low.
And he said 10 gold coins, not 1,000 silver coins, which is very particular.
After all, gold coins are much rarer than silver coins. One gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins and 10,000 copper coins. However, they are usually traded in silver and copper coins. Only nobles have a lot of gold coins. Death has never seen a gold coin.
Zhang Feng felt a little unusual. He always felt that this Pansy was too polite, and he had too much power. Judging from the current price, Zhang Feng felt that if he took out some of the things, would he be able to take out the whole thing? Did you buy the Red Leaf City? However, Zhang Feng also knows that it is almost the same now, and it is not good to be too high-profile.
As if seeing Zhang Feng’s hesitation, Pan Xi hurriedly took out another stack of thick parchment paper, which was the contract and title deed for the business district.
Then Pansy called out to the house, and a young man with short hair trotted over.
After Pan Xi gave some instructions, the young man ran out quickly, and came back with a small box after a while.
He directly took out the key he carried with him, opened the box, and a pile of golden coins inside was particularly dazzling.
“Your Excellency Zhang Feng, what do you think?”
“I still have a few questions, I hope Your Excellency Pansy can help me answer them.”
Zhang Feng didn’t wait for the other party to refuse, and hurriedly continued.
“You sold me the residential area and the commercial area, so what will happen to the people who live here now? And I bought such a large piece of land, will Baron Charles trouble me? You know these things belong to Charles Baron’s…I have to think about it!”
“Your Excellency Zhang Feng, you can rest assured that our transaction is completely fair and legal. The seller is not me, but the city hall and the city lord’s mansion. I don’t have such great power, and it is even less possible for me to deceive a person in this regard. Great noble! Otherwise, I will be found out, and I will be hanged on the gallows!
As for the people who live here, don’t worry, they are all lease contracts, and I can terminate the contract at any time. In the morning tomorrow, you will find that all the people in the residential and commercial areas have been evacuated.
In addition, Baron Charles will never trouble you. After all, I represent the City Hall and the City Lord’s Mansion, and I represent the will of Baron Charles. I am willing to vouch for it with my life! “
Hearing the promise made by the other party, Zhang Feng thought about it for a while, and then he stopped writing the ink. After making sure that there was no deception in the contract, he happily signed the contract. Anyway, he has no cost. If there is something tricky, it’s a big deal to not want these properties.
“You don’t have to drive people away. After all, I can’t live in so many places. I can just ask them to call me the rent.”
It seems like it would be nice to be a charterer in another world?
“Of course there is no problem. Thank you, Your Excellency Zhang Feng, for your trust. From now on, both the residential area and the business area belong to Your Excellency Zhang Feng! You can move in at any time!”
After speaking, Pansy couldn’t help but be proud of her wise decision.
Baron Charles is dead. Without his connections, reputation and ability, no one would want to trade with a city without security.
Coupled with the remote location of Hongye City, many high-level personnel are ready to abandon this mess and evacuate with their family servants.
Hongye City may not be able to survive this winter. By then, it will be a dead city, and its land and houses will become worthless!
From Pan Xi’s point of view, he is completely empty-handed and a white wolf. The only pity is the 10 gold coins, but he is reluctant to let the child lose the wolf. Besides, what Zhang Feng gave is really worth the price!
Looking at Pan Xi, who had left, Zhang Feng didn’t think much about it. He was going to pick a cleaner and bigger house as his place to stay in another world.
Before leaving, Zhang Feng didn’t forget to give Keton a compressed biscuit again as a reward for this, which moved Keton again.
“Looking at the map, aside from the castle, I have already occupied half of the best location in Hongye City. Can I change my name to ‘Zhang Bancheng’ now?”
Zhang Feng was a little crooked.
