You know, after the territory is promoted and the area is expanded, many people have to walk several hundred meters to see the crowd gathering place in the territory when they return to the territory.
But it's different now.
Not only was the tavern adjacent to the city wall opened, but several shops were also opened in the commercial street next to it. In front of these shops, there was a huge crowd of people queuing up to buy something, and they were instantly brought back. People were also brought into this commotion.
And watching them come back, someone immediately came to greet them.
"We are opening a new store today, with a 20% discount on all products. Are you interested in checking it out?"
"Come to our noodle shop for a meal! We have fried noodles, beef noodles, clear soup noodles, fried noodles, and mixed noodles. They are all flavors you can't find in restaurants."
"Our carpentry workshop is also open today. If you purchase more than 10 silver coins, you will have a chance to draw a lottery and have a chance of getting silver equipment."
"Do you miss burgers, fried chicken and fries? If you opt out of the set price, it's only 20 copper coins, 20 copper coins! If you pass by, don't miss it!"
"..."
All kinds of marketing advertisements blurted out from their mouths, which directly made the returning people dream of returning to modern times, and they were a little dazzled.
The commercial streets and pubs that opened in the morning were opened in the evening.
This is so efficient!
However, after being stunned, many people became greedy, and the taste in their memories began to attack their taste buds.
New store and new food, definitely support it!
"Let's go and have a look."
"I haven't eaten noodles for a long time. I'm going to have a meal first."
"You order some noodles for me, and I'll buy a beer."
"Bring me a drink too, I haven't had a drink in a long time."
"I can eat them one by one. I want noodles, hamburgers and fries. Only children make the choice. Adults want everything!"
"Finally, I can eat more and more normal and delicious food."
"I'm just curious, is the taste different from before?"
"..."
With the corners of their lips twitching, everyone walked to different shops according to their own needs.
The excitement of the residents also obviously affected the n people in the territory.
Although they don't need to eat, the food in Hope Village is much more delicious than what they ate before they were alive, so they will occasionally go to restaurants to eat to satisfy their cravings.
Because of the excitement here, they couldn't help but gather around.
The undead people headed by Bayer Heidi basically watched for a while and joined in without hesitation, and then quickly followed the flow of people in the store. They knew how delicious the food in Hope Village was.
If a new trick comes out, they must try it.
Different from the undead, the orcs are recognized as stingy in the territory. They live a rough life and can spend money without spending money, so they never go to shops and trading areas because they can do To the point of being out of sight, for fear that I might accidentally spend too much money.
But now, they were reluctant to move away, especially as the bursts of fragrance not far away continued to reach their noses.
This is the first time I hate such a keen sense of smell.
O'Neal and the others scolded themselves in their hearts, forcing themselves to twist and turn toward home, and then hypnotized themselves into eating animal meat to fill their stomachs.
….
After all, if you accidentally eat too much, it will cost you a lot of money!
Seemingly sensing their intentions, the staff in the crowd rolled their eyes, then went back to the store to get some fried French fries, topped with ketchup, and stopped O'Neal, Lucas and others. around.
"Today's price is very favorable. The most important thing is that it is definitely food you have never eaten before. You can try it first without paying any money." The staff said enthusiastically.
Smelling the domineering smell in the distance and looking at the free food in front of me, several pairs of paws stretched out.
"Just dip it in the sauce and eat it."
O'Neill and others followed suit and waited until
When the food entered my mouth, I immediately felt a taste that I had never tasted before. It was sour and sweet, which was a bit unfamiliar, but it was unexpectedly delicious.
"It's been a long time since the last time I ate. With so much money, it's okay to treat yourself. Didn't you save a lot of money during this time?" Lucas couldn't help but said to O'Neal, trying to convince him , as if he was convincing himself.
"Okay! Let's go over and take a look." O'Neill looked at the fries in front of him and followed without any resistance.
When the staff saw this, they immediately enthusiastically led them over.
French fries + tomatoes, they were a perfect match before the apocalypse, and they are even more so now.
No one can resist their temptation.
After a while.
A group of orcs also fell into the embrace of delicious food.
"Give me ten more burgers."
"Fried chicken, I want ten."
"Give me... ten, no, twenty fries."
"..."
"Hey, I ate a lot of money."
"same."
"Then will you come to eat tomorrow?"
"Forget it, let's come and eat! At worst, I'll just fight some monsters from now on. As long as I make money fast, it's like I didn't spend any money."
"..."
The stingy orcs also knelt down in front of the delicacies in their territory and sang "conquer".
You can avoid the first grade of junior high school, but you can't avoid the fifteenth grade!
**
Zhou Bai came back at this time.
Seeing the bustle in the territory, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
But she was mentally prepared.
Because after the store opened, she received the so-called taxes from the territory, and reminders kept coming along the way.
At that time, neither the official stores nor the trading area in the territory had taxes. She thought the tax rate was just for show. Unexpectedly, it would eventually be applied to commercial activities in the commercial street.
On the commercial street, a total of five stores have opened at this time, and they are also the first five to rent shops. Judging from the speed of opening their stores, it is obvious that they have been prepared for a long time.
Thinking about it, Zhou Bai looked at the names of these five stores.
The first one: carpentry workshop.
The second room: noodle shop.
The third one: burger restaurant
Room 4: Equipment store
Room 5: Convenience store
For the first four stores, Zhou Bai knew what their stores were like just by looking at their names, but for the fifth one, Zhou Bai really didn't guess it.
After thinking about it, Zhou Bai went to the fifth store.
As soon as you enter, you can see a variety of dried meats, dried vegetables, dried fruits and other dry goods on both sides of the counter. In addition to the whole portions packaged, there are also items placed nearby for people to try.
….
The most eye-catching thing should be the thing wrapped in wide dry leaves placed in the middle. It is not clear what is inside, but there are three words engraved on the wooden board beside it.
#instant noodles#
Awesome, my residents.
As if noticing Zhou Bai's gaze, a clerk came over to greet him.
"Hey, it's just instant noodles. Although the seasoning is not comparable to the previous ones, it uses our boss's exclusive formula. There are also vegetable packets. Just add a little hot water. You can mix it outside and eat it, or you can eat it hot. The taste is absolutely delicious. Well, if you want to save time and not have to go back to the territory to eat, or if you are traveling far away to do things, this is a must-have. Adding some jerky will be perfect. The jerky in our store also uses a unique secret recipe. There are all kinds of flavors..."
Under the lavish praise of the clerks, Zhou Bai, who really missed the taste of instant noodles and hadn't eaten snacks for a long time, bought a lot of them and was sent out the door in a daze.
The moment I walked out, I heard the clerk warmly introduce me to another person who had just walked in, and I realized what I was doing.
Then he smiled.
Taking out the dried meat and nibbling it, feeling the unique taste and chewy texture, Zhou Bai was not far away from the shop.
Waiting in the distance.
Sure enough, after a while, he saw Ding Qiurou walking out of the territory. The moment he saw Zhou Bai, he walked towards her and smiled, "I heard that there are several stores opening here, so I thought of coming. The city gate is waiting for you to eat with your father."
"I knew you would come, so I'm waiting for you here." Zhou Bai also smiled.
Although now as everyone is busy, we spend less time together, but this meal in the evening is eaten together unless there are special circumstances.
The two mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and Zhou Bai took out the dried meat he just bought and handed it to Ding Qiurou.
Ding Qiurou ate a piece and her eyes lit up, "This is a good craftsmanship!"
"There are many more flavors! You can buy some for snacks then."
"Okay." Ding Qiurou agreed.
While the two were chatting, Zhou Zhengping and his party came back.
At first glance, I also noticed the changes in the territory.
They experienced a surprise outside, but they didn't expect there would be an even bigger surprise when they came back.
Listening to the excitement among the soldiers, Zhou Zhengping began to search the crowd. When he saw the two mothers and daughters waiting for him, a bright smile appeared on his face.
After a hard day's work, when I saw them, I felt as if all the fatigue was gone.
"I'm going to find my wife and daughter, you can do it yourself." Leaving Li Xingteng and others behind, Zhou Zhengping happily walked towards Zhou Bai.
Looking at his figure, Li Xingteng shed tears of envy, then became a little sad, and finally looked at the soldier beside him and said, "Let's go!"
A group of people immediately walked toward the shop.
I'm so jealous of them!
The Zhou Bai family who successfully gathered together discussed it and went to the noodle shop together.
The noodle shop was packed with people, and a few people in front of the window were busy non-stop.
One person is making noodles on site, while two people are cooking in front of the two windows, and several people are entertaining guests on site.
The two people in front of the window had several iron buckets in front of them, and there was obviously a fire burning underneath. Some of them were filled with boiled soup stock, exuding a strong fragrance, and the rest were buckets of clean water, where they threw away the prepared noodles. Go down and take it out when it's cooked, then pour it with different flavors of broth from the side, and put it on the table with various meats and side dishes that have been prepared long ago, and a steaming bowl of noodles comes out of the oven.
….
Of course, in addition to soup noodles, you can directly stir-fry noodles, which will also be cheaper.
If you want more meat cubes, you can buy extra.
Not unlike a noodle shop before the apocalypse.
The family of three couldn't wait to order their meals, and Zhou Bai ordered a bowl of clear soup noodles.
Clear soup noodles are made directly from bones and lean minced meat. The soup is very clear, but it also tastes very delicious.
Tasting the noodles, Zhou Bai looked indescribably satisfied.
After the noodle shop came out, Zhou Bai's family of three bought some food from the burger shop next door. After packing, they didn't leave in a hurry, but wandered around the wood workshop and equipment store.
Obviously, even though there are still few shops, it does not stop them from enjoying this long-lost shopping time.
"There will be more and more shops in the future. Even if you don't go out, you will have a way out. The territory will be lively at night in the future." Ding Qiurou said, also looking forward to it.
Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Bai received several notifications one after another.
[Dear host, your shops No. 1-10 have been rented out. 】
[Dear host, your shops No. 1-12 have been rented out. 】
【……】
Looking at the busy taverns and shops, Zhou Bai guessed why so many shops were suddenly rented out.
They are all stimulated by these!
Zhou Bai chuckled, and then whispered: "If you don't use it, there will be a big wave tomorrow. Just in a short period of time, more than a dozen shops were rented out."
"That's just right. I'll have more time to go shopping in the future! But speaking of
, the territory is really full of talents! Dried meat, ketchup, burgers...these are all handicrafts, and I can't make them anyway. However, they could be sold at the stalls before. It seems that no one sells these foods. They are mainly daily necessities. "
"Maybe there was no good time before! First there was the Territory War, and then everyone was promoted to professionals. After finally getting on the right track, it snowed again and everyone couldn't go out. Then the snow ended, and it was the Territory Promotion again, and then It's a test of the beast tide... Now that everything is over, the territory just happened to provide them with opportunities, and they will naturally spring up like bamboo shoots after a rain." Zhou Zhengping glanced at Zhou Bai aside and said, recalling, he really Xiaobai broke into a cold sweat.
It's been a month since the end of the game. I'm really busy and I haven't relaxed for a moment.
Zhou Bai listened and felt that the past month had been very difficult for him. Fortunately, it was over.
Before, they were struggling to survive.
Now, when the survival needs are basically satisfied, it is natural to want a higher level of enjoyment.
The emergence of these shops is really the right time and the right place.
Therefore, this month of hard work is still worth it.
At this point, even if the novice protection period ends tomorrow and there is a new impact, she feels that both the territory and the residents in the territory should be able to withstand the changes.
I just don’t know what will change tomorrow?

Have a happy summer
