The old man walked in front of the middle-aged man and bowed to him. &Quot; âCity Lord, this is Mr. Zhao Hai.â
The middle-aged man was also sizing up Zhao Hai. Hearing the old manâs words, he only nodded and turned to Zhao Hai, â âWelcome to Tianshui city, Sir. Youâve had a hard journey. Please have a seat.â
Zhao Hai quickly bowed to the city Lord and said, â âZhao Hai greets the city Lord. City Lord is too polite.â After saying that, he sat down.
The city Lord sat down as well, sizing up Zhao Hai, â &Quot; Iâve read Ibelâs letter. Sir, youâre one of us, so I wonât be polite with you. I know why youâre here. If you need anything, just let me know. Oh, donât call me Lord anymore. Iâm Smithâs carci. You can call me brother Smith. &Quot;
Zhao Hai didnât expect Smith to be so polite. He quickly said, â &Quot; yes, brother Smith, but you donât have to call me sir. Just call me Zhao Hai or little hai. Brother Smith should know my current situation. I canât stay in the Arkas Empire anymore, and I canât go to other countries. Iâm afraid the Church of Light will hunt me down all over the world, so I can only come to brother Smithâs place. I hope brother Smith can take me in. &Quot;
Smith couldnât help but laugh when he heard Zhao Haiâs words.âBrother, youâre too polite. Youâre a brother in the Alliance, so youâre my brother too. You donât have to be polite with me when youâre here. How can I let you stay in a hotel when youâre here? How about this, you can move into my residence, how about that?â
Zhao Hai didnât expect Smith to let him stay at the mayorâs mansion. To be honest, he couldnât stand Smithâs enthusiasm. He quickly said,âThatâs too much trouble. I think I can just find a place to stay outside. How can I trouble brother Smith?â
âDonât mention it,â Smith smiled,âcanât you stay in my big mansion?â Ah, you donât need to go back and pack your things. Uncle Phil, send someone to pack little Haiâs things. Also, tell the people in Sheila hotel that little hai is my brother and that heâs moving over to stay with me. â
The old man who had brought Zhao Hai in was clearly Phil. He responded and left the room. Zhao Hai didnât expect Smith to do this, so he didnât even have the chance to refuse.
Zhao Hai could only smile bitterly. Smith turned to Zhao Hai and said, â âLittle hai, what business do you want to do here? Did Ebel say that you have a good deal? What is it?â
&Quot; Oh? â Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment, then he smiled. &Quot; I do have quite a lot of business, but if weâre talking about good business, I only have a few. One of them is Taoyuan products. I believe youâve heard of this brother Smith? â Even though the products of paradise had yet to reach the Rosen Empire, and even in the Arkas Empire, they could only be found in the vicinity of the Versailles Duchy, Zhao Hai believed that with the Karche familyâs Information Network, it was impossible for them not to find the products of paradise.
&Quot; Iâve heard of it, â Smith said with a smile. &Quot; but itâs not a good business. What else? â
âThereâs a milk hotel nearby, high milk wine,â Zhao Hai said with a smile. With that, Zhao Hai flipped his hand and took out a few wine bags. He placed them on the table and said, &Quot; I brewed this milk wine using the orc tribeâs method, but after some improvements, itâs even better than the fruit wine that people on the continent often drink. Of course, this is a strong wine. Ordinary people will get drunk after drinking a small cup. So far, Iâm the only one on the continent who has this wine, so itâs a unique business. Iâve only worked with Ibele and Sheila hotel. Ibele only sells about 500 kilograms a month, while Sheila hotel sells 10000 Kilograms a month. Brother Smith, do you want to try it?â
Smith looked at the wine bags on the table. He had seen these wine bags before. They were the most commonly used wine bags of the orcs. The carci family controlled Tianshui city, which was the most famous port city in the Roson Empire. Long-distance trade was very developed here, and many ships here did business with the orcs. The carci family naturally had ships to do business with the orcs, so he had seen many wine bags of the orcs.
Zhao Hai looked at Smith calmly. He took out the milk wine to test Smith. He wanted to see if Smith dared to drink the wine.
From the moment Zhao Hai saw Smith, Smith had been too friendly. Although he was friendly, Zhao Hai still had his suspicions. Although Smith had allowed Zhao Hai to live in the city Lordâs mansion, the mansion was Smithâs territory. Letting Zhao Hai live in the mansion could be said to be to protect Zhao Hai, but it could also be said to be to monitor him.
If Smith didnât suspect him at all, he would have drunk the wine that Zhao Hai had brought out. If Smith suspected him, he wouldnât have drunk the wine.
Smith picked up a wine bag and looked at it carefully. He nodded and said,âItâs the craft of the orcs. Little hai, do you have business with the orcs?â As he said that, he opened the wine bag and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth.
When Zhao Hai saw that Smith had drunk, he couldnât help but feel relieved. It seemed that Smith really believed him. However, when he saw the wine bag in Smithâs hand, he knew that it was going to break. He immediately dodged to the side.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai was fast enough. As soon as Smith poured the wine into his mouth, he felt as if his mouth was on fire. With a puff, he spat the wine out again. If Zhao Hai did not Dodge, he would have vomited all over him. This was also the reason why Zhao Hai avoided Smith. He saw that Smith was holding the wine bag with the highest alcohol content, which was milk wine.
Smith held the wine bag and coughed repeatedly. He had never thought that the wine would be so strong. Once it entered his mouth, it was like putting charcoal in his mouth. It was too strong.
Zhao Hai quickly picked up the Keya pot on the table and poured Smith a cup of Keya. He reached out and took the wine bag from Smith. Smith didnât stand on ceremony and quickly drank the Keya. Only then did he feel better.
When he finally caught his breath, he looked at the wine bag in Zhao Haiâs hand in horror and said, â âI say, little hai, is this really wine? Itâs not poison?â
Zhao Hai laughed out loud. &Quot; brother Smith, you canât drink my wine like this. Itâs very strong. Even the beastmen who are famous for their good wine canât drink much. You have to take small sips. The bag youâre drinking is the strongest one. None of the other bags are as strong as this one. Do you want to try it? â
Zhao Hai would never talk to someone he met for the first time like that. However, the strange thing was that there was no sense of unfamiliarity between him and Smith. The two seemed to have known each other for a long time. Ever since Smith drank Zhao Haiâs wine, Zhao Hai had sincerely treated Smith as a friend. That was why he spoke to Smith like that.
Smith shook his head with lingering fear. &Quot; &Quot; forget it. Your wine is too strong. I canât take it. However, if this wine is really unique, itâs a good business. Not bad, I can support you. Do you need a sales network or a storefront? just let me know. I promise to get it done for you. &Quot;
When Zhao Hai heard Smithâs words, he couldnât help but feel touched. He didnât have a sales network or a storefront in his hands, but Smith had offered to help him solve these two problems. How could he not be touched?
However, Zhao Hai also knew how many things he had. He shook his head and said, â &Quot; thereâs no need for that now. Although this wine is good, the production isnât very high. After a while, it should be able to be sold on a large scale. &Quot;
Smith nodded and said,âanything else?â If you have something to say, say it together. Iâll see if I can help you.â
Zhao Hai nodded and said, â there is also the war food business. This war food is the dried mutton that the orcs eat during wartime. I plan to bring this mutton to the mainland and sell it to the mercenaries. Brother Smith, do you think this is feasible? â
