Chapter 2931 Prices

This town is one of the largest towns in the northernmost part of the Demon Realm.

Although its level of technological civilization is not as good as the towns in the center of the Demon Realm and the southern end of the Demon Realm, its personal power is among the best in the entire Demon Realm.

That is to say, the sky is high and the sky is high, no one cares about it, and the folk customs are strong and strong.

Although the level of civilization is not as high as that of the big towns in the south, after all, it is among the big towns. Even if it is backward, it is still much more developed than those small towns and more than 90% of the medium-sized towns.

I also felt this in Zephyr Continent.

Generally speaking, the larger the urban area, the greater the population. The greater the population, the greater the taxes that can be collected, the total number of talents, and accordingly, the richer the executable urban plans.

Let's put it this way, as long as it is not as ridiculous as Carter Scott, even if it is left unchecked, the civilization level and scale of construction of large towns will always be significantly ahead of small and medium-sized towns.

This is the advantage of a place with a large number of people.

In the same way, this relatively prosperous northern town also falls into this category.

Apart from the civilization level of the town, what I am most concerned about is the price of goods in this town.

Listening to the guards just complaining endlessly about the rising food prices, but the small town where I settled before did not have the problem of rising food prices, from this I guessed that in the devil world, the prices of commodities in major towns are different.

Since prices are different, it will naturally happen that in the previous town, one copper coin can buy twenty steamed buns, but in this town, one copper coin can only buy ten steamed buns.

Generally speaking, although traders can make profits by relying on prices that fluctuate from time to time, they are only making small profits after all.

But if you realize that the visitor is a stranger, you will immediately transform from an honest and reliable small businessman to a big deception and profiteer.

It's good to have the price doubled, and it's not uncommon to ask for sky-high prices.

Therefore, if you want not to suffer a loss or be ripped off, the best way is to first inquire about the prices and then make plans. After all, planning first and then acting is the best way.

As for the trivial things that the soldiers talked about among the vendors, the occasional funny things that happened, and the sordid feuding among the nobles, I basically just ignored them.

When I heard something interesting, I made a few noises. When I heard something I didn’t go to, I nodded slightly to show that I was still listening carefully.

After rambling on for more than a little while, the soldier's mouth was dry and he was somewhat at a loss for words. I felt that he might not be able to squeeze out any useful information anymore. I took advantage of the soldier's coughing and vomiting phlegm to rush into the blue. The witch glanced at her.

When the blue witch saw it, she came to me reluctantly, acted coquettishly and cutely at me in a very unfamiliar way, and said she was hungry.

When the soldiers saw this, they didn't even have time to see through the poor acting skills of the Blue Witch, and were fed by the dog food spread by the two of us.

The sour smell of love is unacceptable, so the soldier quickly sent us into the city gate with a smile.

After entering the city, the Blue Witch and I walked side by side on the street like a pair of lovers. Behind us was a single little hunting dog.

And he is truly single.

Having roughly figured out the prices, I went to a restaurant and ordered a few reasonably satisfying dishes - soy sauce beef, roasted pig's trotters, salt and pepper lamb legs, and some kind of steamed dish that looked bright but I couldn't name. big fish.

This big fish is so big that it is as long as an arm - this is only one-fifth of the total length of the big fish. It is the part of the body near the head. The meat of this part of the body is very delicate, soft and has an excellent taste, but Correspondingly, the price is also extremely expensive.

The blue witch was very fond of the big fish and devoured it like a whirlwind.

On the contrary, it was me, with a calm and composed expression, slowly tasting the dishes and drinking the wine.

The restaurant owner's eyes kept lingering on the Blue Witch and me. At first, he looked at the Blue Witch with surprise, but after seeing her embarrassment while eating, he shook his head in disappointment. Then he fixed his gaze on me, and saw that my movements while eating and drinking looked gentle and graceful. In addition, I always had a lukewarm smile on my face, which made it impossible for him to see through my identity.

Since he couldn't see through it, he had to keep a respectful distance. After all, he wasn't sure whether I was a child of a noble family who liked to pretend to be an ordinary person, or an ordinary person who was good at pretending.

So the boss offered another plate of chopped roast beef as a gift.

The quality of this plate of roast beef is absolutely high-quality, and it is several grades better than the sauced beef on my plate. However, the half-cooked roasting method really makes me lose my appetite because it reminds me of those in the blue planet. The grilled steak came medium rare, still with bloodshot eyes.

After staring at the roast beef for a while, I put my chopsticks aside, called the waiter over, asked him to re-roast the beef, and asked him to roast it completely.

The guy was very dissatisfied with my attitude. First of all, this plate of roast beef was given as a gift. You were so particular about it!

Secondly, this beef is a high-end product. It is a luxury product only supplied to a few nobles and rich people. It is not a mass product that ordinary people can afford.

Just when the waiter was hesitating and not acting like he was working, the boss came over. He first scolded the waiter severely, then personally picked up the plate and walked to the kitchen, where he grilled the beef again and put it on the plate in front of me. .

Faced with his sensible behavior, I nodded with satisfaction and told the boss: "Serve two portions of this roast beef, make sure it's well cooked."

The boss looked embarrassed: "Guest, we don't have much of this kind of high-quality beef in the store."

I took out a silver coin, put it on the table, and wrote lightly: "No need to look for it."

The boss's eyes widened immediately, he carefully picked up the silver coins, put them carefully into his pocket, and then rushed into the kitchen happily to give orders.

It wasn't until I saw this scene that I realized what the soldier had said before about the prices in the towns in the northern part of the Demon Realm.

Prices in the towns in the northern part of the Demon Realm are at the same level as those in the towns on the edge of the Zephyr Continent, and they are both very low-priced.

The difference is that the most basic currency unit of the Zephyr Continent is copper coins, while the most basic currency unit of the Demon World is an inert metal that has no practical use and is extremely rich in reserves.

Above it are the copper coins.

Therefore, the three copper coins given to bribe the soldiers could be regarded as a generous small favor. How could he be dissatisfied?

The value of a silver coin in the Demon Realm, especially in the northern towns of the Demon Realm, is much more valuable than in the edge towns of Zephyr Continent.

Even if you buy the best cow, there will still be a surplus.

Such value, when used on a luxurious lunch in a restaurant, is simply a generous spender!

No wonder restaurant owners had such an emotional reaction.
