Chapter 149: Chapter 089: No One Can Resist the Temptation of Delicious Food

"Fuck! Is this a village? This is more like a small town!"

"Opening so many shops, does anyone buy anything?"

"God! Hamburgers, fried chicken? Noodle shop? Tofu shop? Grilled meat shop? Am I seeing things?"

"You’re not seeing things, I see them too."

"That’s pretty fucking awesome!"

"..."

The soldiers who followed Bei Wenkang couldn’t help but marvel at the scene in front of them.

How come Hope Village is so remarkable compared to other villages?

If it weren’t for their families back in Yuxi Village, they would’ve seriously considered defecting right then and there.

The mercenaries’ eyes were also filled with curiosity.

When it came to bustling places, they had seen many territories, but Hope Village’s scale wasn’t anything special; however, the variety of its offerings was!

They had never tasted such foods before.

Of course, the most important thing was the presence of a tavern.

They were used to having a drink in the tavern whenever they were on missions.

This time, since Yuxi Village lacked a tavern, they really craved it.

And Bei Wenkang, the Lord, was truly intensely stimulated.

Hope Village was great, even better than he had imagined.

It really was a Level 2 Territory that could compete for second place.

Bei Wenkang had indeed been unsatisfied with Hope Village before, but at this moment, he was genuinely a bit awed.

At least from the perspective of a territory, there was so much about Hope Village from which he could learn.

Taking a deep breath inside, Bei Wenkang decided to temporarily set aside his "grudges" with Hope Village and continue to learn.

Turning around, he saw his Territory Soldiers coveting the snack shops and the mercenaries enticed by the tavern, and he directly said, "Let’s go to the tavern to check in first, then you all can do as you please afterward!"

Hearing this, everyone almost cheered but held back, "And what about you, Lord?"

"I’ll just wander around the territory on my own," Bei Wenkang replied and then stepped into the tavern first.

The tavern wasn’t very busy at the moment, as the Professionals were out striving during the day and wouldn’t spend their time on leisure.

Most of those present in the tavern were taking a day off to relax.

Groups of three or two were seated at the tables, some playing with wooden dice for drinking games, and others were engaged in card games with wooden playing cards... the mood was very cheerful.

In this moment, past memories began to flood back.

How nostalgic!

Since arriving in this world, all they had thought about every day was how to survive, to live longer, such moments of relaxation really only existed in memories.

Seeing how carefree the residents of Hope Village were, how could they not feel envious?

"Can I help you with anything?" Tang Shiliu asked proactively as she looked at Bei Wenkang and his group, noticing that these people must be visitors; she wasn’t sure if they were from Blue Star or locals, but she couldn’t help giving the mercenaries a few extra glances.

"We need accommodation," Bei Wenkang said directly.

"How many rooms? For how many nights? We have single rooms, double rooms, as well as quadruple rooms; the prices are 200 copper coins, 300 copper coins, and 360 copper coins per night, respectively."

"One night. One single room, two double rooms, and ten quadruple rooms," Bei Wenkang said.

"Okay." Tang Shiliu handled it immediately, finishing the registration then handed out the number plates for each room, "Just go to the rooms according to the numbers on these plates. The first digit represents the floor level. Once you’re in the room, enter the names on the list, place the number plate inside the room, and you’ll be free to come and go as you please. Remember to renew your stay before 12 o’clock tomorrow."

Finally! It had been several days since the opening, and not a single guest had checked in for accommodation.

The revenue shot up in a flash.

Tang Shiliu appeared very satisfied, his attitude becoming significantly warmer.

Bei Wenkang took the number tag, quickly distributed them, then walked out with his own.

Once Bei Wenkang left, the atmosphere among the group instantly heated up.

"Let’s go, we’ll check into our rooms first, and after that, we’ll go next door for a bite."

"The food hasn’t been great these past few days out there—I was already craving for something good, and now, to find this territory has so many delicious offerings, I definitely want to eat my fill."

"I’ll try everything first, then I can bring some back for my family to try."

"Quick! I’m starving to death."

"After we eat, let’s all get some drinks in the evening!"

The group moved swiftly, pairing up roommates in no time, and as soon as registration was complete, they headed straight for the bustling Commercial Street outside.

Watching their familiar chatter, Tang Shiliu felt reassured.

They were Blue Star people! Just from another territory.

But... Tang Shiliu’s gaze fell on the four foreign-faced mercenaries. Perhaps these were the local NPCs summoned from the other territory. If they could follow the team, then the leader who left just now must be a Lord from another territory. What were they doing in this territory?

Considering this, Tang Shiliu wasn’t worried in the least, turning his attention back to the remaining four mercenary NPCs, "Do you guys need anything?"

"What kind of alcohol do you have?" The mercenaries recovered from their companions’ frenzied actions and immediately inquired.

They were more interested in drinking than eating.

They wanted to sate their thirst for alcohol first.

"At the moment, we have beer and fruit wine, with one jug containing 12 cups. The beer costs 149 copper coins per jug, and the fruit wine is 249 copper coins per jug," Tang Shiliu answered directly. The beer was a default setup of the Tavern; she just needed to add ingredients like wheat, rice, starch, and water, and it would autoproduce. As for the fruit wine, it was inspired by what she felt the former lacked. She had tried several types of fruits from the territory’s grocery store, most of which weren’t accepted by the Tavern, but she had succeeded in making fruit wine with a type of berry similar to grapes. It tasted like grape wine but was even more delicious.

For this, she earned a substantial amount of Contribution and a cut from the fruit wine sales.

"Two jugs of each," Sharp, one of the mercenaries, said without hesitation after hearing the prices.

The price seemed pretty low; now it was time to see how it tasted.

The other three mercenaries had no objections.

After all, since they were on a mission, they couldn’t drink too much. It was just a tasting for now!

After Tang Shiliu finished taking down their orders, he continued warmly, "Just having drinks might be a tad monotonous. Would you like some snacks to accompany the alcohol?"

"What do you have?" Sharp asked, his mind filling with the thought of his other companions’ craze. Clearly, they were familiar with the food in this territory, but whether it was genuinely delicious remained to be seen.

"The best pairing for drinks would undoubtedly be grilled skewers. We’ve just prepared some in the Tavern’s kitchen. If you like, I can also arrange someone to bring back some suitable snacks from the market for you."

"Let’s go with your grilled skewers! You make the selection for us, and keep it under 500 copper coins," Sharp quickly stated.

As for everything else, they would go out and try for themselves later.

"This is your table number, please wait for a moment; one of our staff members will bring your food to you soon."

Upon hearing this, Sharp and his comrades took their number and found a seat.

Moments later, they were sipping beer and munching on grilled skewers, instantly captivated by the taste of the skewers.

As mercenaries who had traveled to many territories and tasted many local culinary delights, they had never encountered grilled meat that was quite so... uniquely flavorful.

After exchanging quick glances, they sped up their eating, and soon enough, it seemed like only shadows of their hands could be seen.

After they had eaten their fill and quenched their thirst, the four local mercenary NPCs were eager to head out to the nearby Commercial Street.

If the skewers were this good, the food from other places must be just as irresistible!

Watching their hurried departure, Tang Shiliu’s lips curled into a slight smile.

No one can resist the lure of good food!

Hopefully, in the future, more customers like them will come by!
