The old man walked in front of the middle-aged man and bowed to him. &Quot; “City Lord, this is Mr. Zhao Hai.”
The middle-aged man was also sizing up Zhao Hai. Hearing the old man’s words, he only nodded and turned to Zhao Hai, ” “Welcome to Tianshui city, Sir. You’ve had a hard journey. Please have a seat.”
Zhao Hai quickly bowed to the city Lord and said, ” “Zhao Hai greets the city Lord. City Lord is too polite.” After saying that, he sat down.
The city Lord sat down as well, sizing up Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; I’ve read Ibel’s letter. Sir, you’re one of us, so I won’t be polite with you. I know why you’re here. If you need anything, just let me know. Oh, don’t call me Lord anymore. I’m Smith’s carci. You can call me brother Smith. &Quot;
Zhao Hai didn’t expect Smith to be so polite. He quickly said, ” &Quot; yes, brother Smith, but you don’t have to call me sir. Just call me Zhao Hai or little hai. Brother Smith should know my current situation. I can’t stay in the Arkas Empire anymore, and I can’t go to other countries. I’m afraid the Church of Light will hunt me down all over the world, so I can only come to brother Smith’s place. I hope brother Smith can take me in. &Quot;
Smith couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Zhao Hai’s words.”Brother, you’re too polite. You’re a brother in the Alliance, so you’re my brother too. You don’t have to be polite with me when you’re here. How can I let you stay in a hotel when you’re here? How about this, you can move into my residence, how about that?”
Zhao Hai didn’t expect Smith to let him stay at the mayor’s mansion. To be honest, he couldn’t stand Smith’s enthusiasm. He quickly said,”That’s too much trouble. I think I can just find a place to stay outside. How can I trouble brother Smith?”
“Don’t mention it,” Smith smiled,”can’t you stay in my big mansion?” Ah, you don’t need to go back and pack your things. Uncle Phil, send someone to pack little Hai’s things. Also, tell the people in Sheila hotel that little hai is my brother and that he’s moving over to stay with me. ”
The old man who had brought Zhao Hai in was clearly Phil. He responded and left the room. Zhao Hai didn’t expect Smith to do this, so he didn’t even have the chance to refuse.
Zhao Hai could only smile bitterly. Smith turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” “Little hai, what business do you want to do here? Did Ebel say that you have a good deal? What is it?”
&Quot; Oh? ” Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. &Quot; I do have quite a lot of business, but if we’re talking about good business, I only have a few. One of them is Taoyuan products. I believe you’ve heard of this brother Smith? ” Even though the products of paradise had yet to reach the Rosen Empire, and even in the Arkas Empire, they could only be found in the vicinity of the Versailles Duchy, Zhao Hai believed that with the Karche family’s Information Network, it was impossible for them not to find the products of paradise.
&Quot; I’ve heard of it, ” Smith said with a smile. &Quot; but it’s not a good business. What else? ”
“There’s a milk hotel nearby, high milk wine,” Zhao Hai said with a smile. With that, Zhao Hai flipped his hand and took out a few wine bags. He placed them on the table and said, &Quot; I brewed this milk wine using the orc tribe’s method, but after some improvements, it’s even better than the fruit wine that people on the continent often drink. Of course, this is a strong wine. Ordinary people will get drunk after drinking a small cup. So far, I’m the only one on the continent who has this wine, so it’s a unique business. I’ve only worked with Ibele and Sheila hotel. Ibele only sells about 500 kilograms a month, while Sheila hotel sells 10000 Kilograms a month. Brother Smith, do you want to try it?”
Smith looked at the wine bags on the table. He had seen these wine bags before. They were the most commonly used wine bags of the orcs. The carci family controlled Tianshui city, which was the most famous port city in the Roson Empire. Long-distance trade was very developed here, and many ships here did business with the orcs. The carci family naturally had ships to do business with the orcs, so he had seen many wine bags of the orcs.
Zhao Hai looked at Smith calmly. He took out the milk wine to test Smith. He wanted to see if Smith dared to drink the wine.
From the moment Zhao Hai saw Smith, Smith had been too friendly. Although he was friendly, Zhao Hai still had his suspicions. Although Smith had allowed Zhao Hai to live in the city Lord’s mansion, the mansion was Smith’s territory. Letting Zhao Hai live in the mansion could be said to be to protect Zhao Hai, but it could also be said to be to monitor him.
If Smith didn’t suspect him at all, he would have drunk the wine that Zhao Hai had brought out. If Smith suspected him, he wouldn’t have drunk the wine.
Smith picked up a wine bag and looked at it carefully. He nodded and said,”It’s the craft of the orcs. Little hai, do you have business with the orcs?” As he said that, he opened the wine bag and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth.
When Zhao Hai saw that Smith had drunk, he couldn’t help but feel relieved. It seemed that Smith really believed him. However, when he saw the wine bag in Smith’s hand, he knew that it was going to break. He immediately dodged to the side.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai was fast enough. As soon as Smith poured the wine into his mouth, he felt as if his mouth was on fire. With a puff, he spat the wine out again. If Zhao Hai did not Dodge, he would have vomited all over him. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai avoided Smith. He saw that Smith was holding the wine bag with the highest alcohol content, which was milk wine.
Smith held the wine bag and coughed repeatedly. He had never thought that the wine would be so strong. Once it entered his mouth, it was like putting charcoal in his mouth. It was too strong.
Zhao Hai quickly picked up the Keya pot on the table and poured Smith a cup of Keya. He reached out and took the wine bag from Smith. Smith didn’t stand on ceremony and quickly drank the Keya. Only then did he feel better.
When he finally caught his breath, he looked at the wine bag in Zhao Hai’s hand in horror and said, ” “I say, little hai, is this really wine? It’s not poison?”
Zhao Hai laughed out loud. &Quot; brother Smith, you can’t drink my wine like this. It’s very strong. Even the beastmen who are famous for their good wine can’t drink much. You have to take small sips. The bag you’re drinking is the strongest one. None of the other bags are as strong as this one. Do you want to try it? ”
Zhao Hai would never talk to someone he met for the first time like that. However, the strange thing was that there was no sense of unfamiliarity between him and Smith. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time. Ever since Smith drank Zhao Hai’s wine, Zhao Hai had sincerely treated Smith as a friend. That was why he spoke to Smith like that.
Smith shook his head with lingering fear. &Quot; &Quot; forget it. Your wine is too strong. I can’t take it. However, if this wine is really unique, it’s a good business. Not bad, I can support you. Do you need a sales network or a storefront? just let me know. I promise to get it done for you. &Quot;
When Zhao Hai heard Smith’s words, he couldn’t help but feel touched. He didn’t have a sales network or a storefront in his hands, but Smith had offered to help him solve these two problems. How could he not be touched?
However, Zhao Hai also knew how many things he had. He shook his head and said, ” &Quot; there’s no need for that now. Although this wine is good, the production isn’t very high. After a while, it should be able to be sold on a large scale. &Quot;
Smith nodded and said,”anything else?” If you have something to say, say it together. I’ll see if I can help you.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” there is also the war food business. This war food is the dried mutton that the orcs eat during wartime. I plan to bring this mutton to the mainland and sell it to the mercenaries. Brother Smith, do you think this is feasible? ”
