Chapter 174 (1/2)

It's another day.

”Ah...”

Out of the door, Billy stamped his foot, and the chill on his face made him shiver. He breathed a sigh at his hand and then walked towards the door.

As a noble servant, Billy has been used to his daily routine of work and life. In other people's eyes, to work for the nobility means to be superior, to wear bright clothes and to speak high. But Billy knew that the job was far less leisurely than it seemed.

As the head of the kitchen, Billy is under a lot of pressure these days. No, it should be said that every winter, he feels a lot of pressure. Since this period of time, his host is complaining about the same food, no new ideas. But Billy has no way. There are only these kinds of vegetables in winter every year. Even if he wants to make a flower, it's impossible.

Now the only thing Billy can do is to go to the morning market early every day to see if the mountain hunters can catch some rare game or catch some big fish. If so, he can change the dishes in the kitchen. Otherwise, his master will complain that he is tired of eating these things sooner or later. If he can't, he will change to a kitchen manager. Although the host only talks about it every year, but Who knows if he will be serious this year?

”Ah...”

Thinking of this, Billy sighed again, then quickened his pace towards the morning market. It's just the dawn of the day and the gate of the city has just been opened. If you want to buy good things, it's estimated that it's early You know, there is not only one aristocrat in the whole city of keha, but also Billy, who is threatened to be fired by his master.

Billy can still remember that two days ago, a hunter managed to beat a wild boar. As a result, he was robbed by others when he entered the market. Thanks to his cleverness, he got a hind leg. But there are also some idiots who didn't get anything. It's like the unfortunate guy next door. When he heard that his host was invited to lunch by his own host, he broke his leg and threw the guy out.

Because that poor fool didn't get a piece of boar meat.

Billy shuddered at the thought of that scene, and then he quickened his pace again - the market was close at hand.

At this moment, the sun has not yet fully risen from the horizon, the market is still shrouded in the shadow of the city wall, only a few lights are dimly bright. At this moment, the vendors who enter the city have already started to set up stalls. In order to prevent accidents, the regulations of keha City allow the outside vendors to enter the city one hour in advance, and then prepare for business. When Billy and other residents get up, the morning market is almost open.

It's just

”There seems to be nothing good...”

Looking at the fresh vegetables on the left and right sides, Billy didn't have much interest for a while. Today, it seems that there is no such lucky person again, so after a short sweep, Billy turned around and planned to leave.

But at this time, Billy's nose was keen to catch a strange aroma.

It was a familiar aroma to Billy, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it for a moment. But Billy turned around and looked at the smell. He is very confident about his nose. It is because of his nose that he hasn't been fired by his host for so many years as a kitchen manager.

so Billy can be sure that what he smelled just now is not what perfume is, nor is it any other aroma, but the smell of food and the smell of fruit.

Where on earth is it!?

Billy looked around like a guard searching for a suspect. If he was dressed in armor, the man would be more responsible than the guards.

Soon, Billy found a strange stall

which is located at the end of the morning market. Judging from this position, this stall should have just joined. An old man was standing behind the stall, half closed his eyes. Unlike other stalls, there are no food or meat products for sale. On the contrary, on the cart, there are only cartons, which look bigger than the boxes for cakes, but they can't see what's inside.

Is there something new that those pastry makers have come up with?

With this idea in mind, Billy went to the paver and looked at the old man in front of him. Soon, he found that beside the cart, there was a card with the words ”one box for each person, one box for each gold coin”.

What the hell, a gold coin?

Are you kidding me?

Looking at the paper box the size of the cake box in front of him, Billy only felt ten thousand alpacas galloping by. What was in it? So valuable, a gold coin?

”What's in it, old man?”

But Billy could not suppress his curiosity and asked. The old man opened his eyes, looked at him, and then gave an answer.

”Just buy it.”Just buy it

Hearing this answer, I'm a little bit worse than the interest rate. What else do you do?

He finally understood why the stall was out of business, and its original location was so remote. As a result, he didn't feel interested in doing business at all!

But

Do you want to buy it?

Looking at the carton in front of him, Billy really hesitated. As the kitchen manager, he could still take out a gold coin. And he was sure that if he had just smelled right, the fragrance would have come from this stall. After all, he saw it just now. There is nothing else to sell around here. But In case Forget it, take a bet!

Billy gritted his teeth, took a gold coin and handed it to him.

”Give me a box.”

”No problem. Pick your own box and take it.”

The old man held out his hand for the gold coin, and then pounced on the box in front of him. Seeing his attitude, Billy sighed helplessly, then picked a box casually, and looked at the stall owner again.
