Chapter 174: Chapter 106: Self-Sufficiency, Is That Alright?

For Ellis and the others, compared to their Sorrel Town, Hope Village’s overall environment definitely wasn’t worth mentioning, since Sorrel Town was a territory with tens of thousands of residents and a very prosperous population and economy.

When put side by side with Sorrel Town, Hope Village seemed like a small witch next to a mighty sorcerer.

When they first entered, although they had heard mention of the local delicacies from the residents of Yuxi Village, they hadn’t really taken it to heart.

How could the culinary delights of a mere village compete with their own town?

The so-called Commercial Street was even more pitifully simple compared to theirs.

Yet, as they followed Bayer and Zhou Bai around Commercial Street and had a food called hamburger, there was only one thought left in their minds.

The food they had eaten for the past twenty years seemed like a waste.

Thus, after hamburgers opened the door to a new world, the group, including Ellis, couldn’t hold back: they started at the Hamburger Shop and ate their way along the street.

"Bean curd jelly? So smooth and tender. I’ve never had it before. The sweet ones, the savory ones, they’re all delicious."

"I’ve never tasted jerky this good. The honey-flavored ones are really nice."

"The meat pies are so tasty too, crispy on the outside and tender inside."

"The potato cakes aren’t bad either. Hurry up and try some."

"Sticky rice cake? It’s a little chewy, but... delicious."

"The fried buns are quite something too. I love them."

"

..."

"My God, I can’t fit anything more in my stomach."

"Me neither."

..."

As time passed, what had been restrained mercenaries completely let loose, immersed in a sea of food, unable to extricate themselves.

Shortly thereafter, everyone had unconsciously overeaten.

"Burp!" Ellis couldn’t help letting out a long, satisfied burp.

"How about it? Didn’t disappoint you, did I?" Bayer asked, seeing Ellis’s state and unable to suppress a laugh.

No one could resist the culinary temptations of Hope Village.

Even those who didn’t need to eat were willing to spend their money on this food, which was enough to prove the charm of these dishes.

"Any one of these foods could be taken back and sold like crazy in Sorrel Town! There are so many varieties here!!!" Ellis couldn’t help exclaiming in amazement!

The other mercenaries vigorously nodded in agreement at the side.

It wasn’t necessary to take it all, just learning how to make one of the specialties meant you could make a fortune in any territory.

Zhou Bai heard their accolades for Hope Village’s cuisine and casually mentioned, "Speaking of which, I was actually planning on moving some stuff to other territories."

She had originally thought about forming a team to go to Bengela Town and the nearby native territories! This group of mercenaries was exactly the right choice.

Most importantly, these mercenaries were native residents; they had an excellent understanding of commercial trade between native territories, which could save them a lot of detours.

Being early is not as good as being timely.

Zhou Bai’s words instantly drew Ellis and the others’ attention.

"Where do you plan to go?" Ellis asked instinctively.

Clearly, he genuinely thought the business was viable.

But he was even more aware that behind these foods, there likely lay exclusive culinary recipes. Even if he knew how to make them, without the recipes, he feared he couldn’t replicate such perfect flavors.

If they really wanted to do business, they could only transport – and it had to be short-distance at that.

His gaze swept over the map for a moment, and instantly locked onto several nearby places shown on the map, Bengela Town among them.

Towns always have a population of tens of thousands; the market was definitely large enough.

This business was feasible!

"The main target is Bengela Town," Zhou Bai said, hitting right at the heart of Ellis’s thoughts.

Hearing this, Ellis quickly suggested, "I propose we focus on food that’s easy to carry. The Convenience Hall’s food is good, and it would definitely be popular among professionals in Bengela Town."

As a mercenary, Ellis was quite fond of the food from the Convenience Hall, perfect for survival in the wild.

Of course, for enjoyment, the other foods were better.

But who let them be in business now!

"Besides gourmet food, our Hope Village has other fine products," Zhou Bai said and led the group of mercenaries directly toward the nearby Wood Workshop.

She knew that Meng Chengzhou had recently stockpiled a good number of wooden products.

When doing business, Meng Chengzhou had foresight.

Ellis was equally indifferent about the Wood Workshop—in many territories, woodwork shops were considered outdated buildings. Most of those who spent money in woodwork shops were ordinary residents of the territory, and in fact, many woodwork shops had long since vanished from the landscape.
