There is no difference between Porto entering the city and Watt City. You also pay at the pier and entering the city.

It’s just that the taxes collected are a little less than in Watt City.

More than two hundred people were eating, drinking, sleeping, and wanted a lot of things.

Tang Ping and the others rushed back after buying some of the most urgently needed things on the first day, and then set off from the island to Porto early the next morning to continue shopping.

This small island was named Waiteanhoupu by Tang Ping, and he told the residents on it that this meant waiting and hope.

He didn't believe it. He was able to thrive in Datang. Even if he came here without a system, there was still a cruise ship with Lao Cui and dozens of people following him.

Is it possible that I'm still here to hang out?

After running three times in three consecutive days, they finally bought everything they needed on the island, but their money bags were finally at their bottom.

Today is the last day to come here and buy some things that may be used but are not urgently needed.

In Tang Ping's words, it is to prepare for emergencies.

Just as he, Alaric and others were preparing to leave the city, they suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Butler White, you can't believe that despicable guy Korda. Please believe me, there is absolutely no problem with our goods!"

"Old Peter?"

Tang Ping and Alaric looked at each other, not expecting to meet this old businessman here.

However, he obviously encountered some trouble. He chased a carriage and shouted, but failed to catch up. He could only hold his knees and gasp loudly on the side of the road.

"Old Peter, what's wrong with you?" Tang Ping and Alaric went over and asked.

"Tang!" Old Peter was obviously surprised to see Tang Ping. He looked around before saying, "Are you okay? Why are you here?"

"Do you know something happened to us?" Tang Ping asked with a frown.

"Hey, there's no one in the whole Watt City who doesn't know this!" Old Peter said: "The day after you invited me to dinner that day, I didn't see you at the pier again, and then another day later, there were hanging lights at the city gate and the pier. A wanted notice was issued saying that you participated in the rebellion, and you have already started to flee, and your portraits are hanging on the city gates and docks!"

Tang Ping and Alaric both frowned. If they were wanted, they would not be able to return to Watt City, and they would be in danger here in the future.

As if he had read through the two people's thoughts, Old Peter comforted them and said, "Don't worry, even if I knew you in that portrait, I didn't realize it was you, so don't worry too much."

"Old Peter, you won't sell us, will you?" Tang Ping stared at him and asked.

"I don't dare!" Old Peter shook his head: "I have some rumors. Lord William didn't ask for help from you, okay? I heard that dozens of people died in your hands!"

"How much is the reward for the city lord's wanted warrant? I, old Peter, never do business at a loss. If I want to sell you to the city lord, I will earn too little. Since you have appeared in Porto now, we can cooperate."

Old Peter was quite honest and told Tang Ping that the profit from betraying them was too little, so it would be more cost-effective to cooperate with Tang Ping.

Tang Ping smiled and said, "I like smart people like you. I'll give you a wine recipe later!"

It was originally intended to be kept secret at first, but since Lord William was not a human being, Tang Ping certainly would not make it easy for him.

The best way to make a secret recipe lose its importance is to stop being a secret. Tang Ping plans to spread the recipe of this wine everywhere by then, which can be regarded as a contribution to the development of European wine culture.

In this case, ordinary people can make wine at home. Even if William can control the people of Watt City, can he also control the people of other cities? ?

He must be allowed to steal the chicken but lose the rice.

Hearing that Tang Ping wanted to share the wine recipe with himself, Old Peter seemed a little indifferent. He probably guessed the reason why Tang Ping was so generous. He just nodded and said: "The relationship is good, I can also let the servants in the future." You don’t have to go out and spend money to make wine at home.”

"By the way, why were you in such a mess just now??" Tang Ping pointed to the direction in which the carriage left: "Who are you chasing?"

"Hey, don't mention it!" Old Peter got very angry when he mentioned what happened just now.

He lifted the wooden stake on the street with his feet and said: "I came to Porto this time because the mayor here is going to attend the queen's birthday party and is going to give the queen a gift. I have already made an agreement with the city manager in charge of purchasing. I will make a cashmere shawl and give it to the city lord to give it as a gift."

"But I didn't expect that that despicable guy Korda found a fine silk handkerchief from somewhere and cut off my beard."

He was slightly stunned when he said this, looked at Tang Ping and said, "Tang, you are from the East, right? I heard that the silk handkerchief also comes from the East! Can you find the same thing?"

"This transaction is very important to me. As long as the city lord's gift is recognized by the people in the past, my business to and from Porto will be much smoother in the future!"

"Silk?? Handkerchief? From the East?" Tang Ping looked at Lao Cui after speaking.

Lao Cui asked doubtfully: "Sir, what are you doing?"

"The handkerchief your wife gave you, the one you usually carry in your arms, take it out and show it to him."

Lao Cui didn't know what Tang Ping meant, but he still took out a silk handkerchief from his arms. Unexpectedly, Old Peter suddenly looked like he was more than ten years younger, and he came over with a hiss.

He excitedly grabbed the corner of the handkerchief with both hands and said, "This is what it looks like, it's made of this kind of silk!"

Lao Cui grabbed the other two corners, but did not dare to use force, for fear that his wife would not let him go when he returned home.

He pitifully said to Tang Ping: "Master, this is what I usually blow my nose with. This...isn't this appropriate?"

"Old Peter, Old Peter!!" Tang Ping finally got Old Peter to let go.

Old Peter turned around and grabbed Tang Ping's sleeve again: "Tang, I knew you were not simple. You must be from the Silk Country, right?"

"Silk Kingdom?" Tang Ping was a little confused.

He comes from the Tang Dynasty, and what he usually wears at home is silk and satin sent from the palace.

So he had no idea what silk meant to the nobles here in Europe at this time.

It can be said that because he went to fight during his expedition to the Arab Empire, he wore clothes that were convenient for combat.

If he entered William's castle wearing the silk embroidered clothes he usually wore in the Tang Dynasty, he would be plucked naked by William immediately.

It's not that William has any thoughts about his body, but because such silk embroidered clothing can become a national treasure!
