Mado Kong's incident can only be regarded as a small episode for Sui Xiong, but it can also be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
For a long time, he has not had enough talents in the catering industry under his command. There is no shortage of chefs, but as we all know, if catering wants to rise to the level of "gourmet" or "diet," it needs to tap into its cultural connotations. Why is China the land of gourmet food? The key is that Chinese people not only love and know how to eat, but also have a rich and colorful food culture, and it has even become one of the important symbols of Chinese culture.
Sui Xiong once drooled while watching "A Bite of China" and ate steamed buns while watching food programs. For him, food culture is not only his interest, but also a cultural instinct engraved deep in his soul. .
That's fine if there are no conditions. If there are conditions, he still wants to start a food culture in this world and elevate the catering industry, which has always had a low status, to the level of "culture" to put an end to a longing in his heart.
Werewolf Milomon is a person who loves food. He is already a legendary powerhouse and has enough ability to support the food culture. But he is a rough man after all, and his research on food always only focuses on the "delicious" aspect. Although he is already a world-famous gourmet, and this title has even become his personal nickname, in Sui Xiong's view, he only knows how to ponder questions such as "what is delicious, how to make it delicious, and why it is delicious". You will always be just a cook and never become a true master.
The reason why food culture is culture lies not only in the food itself, not only in the taste enjoyment that food brings to people, but more importantly, its connection with history and humanity, and the benefits it brings from a health perspective.
Only by integrating humanities, health and delicious food can it be called gourmet art.
In this regard, Mado Kong, who is a scholar and has been focusing on studying the relationship between various foods and health, can fill the gap in "health" very well. With his help, Milomon will definitely be able to make The craftsmanship goes one step further.
The combination of food and health should be unprecedented in this world. There are no such things as "healthy meals" and "healthy recipes" in this world, and people have never really studied these issues - because before Sui Xiong, the world had not yet developed to the stage of gourmet art. It can be said that culture has just begun.
Madokong's past research direction was a bit confusing. It's not that he couldn't do research, but... he just lowered his head to pick up sesame seeds and couldn't see a big watermelon so close at hand. Whether from the perspective of economic value or academic status, studying the relationship between various foods and health, and then studying "how to eat healthier" is the best way.
After all, no matter who you are, you need to be healthy.
Of course, this is also because he did not have enough status and financial support in the past to conduct such relatively high-end research. Now with the help of Milomon, the world-famous legendary powerhouse, and the funds allocated by Sui Xiong, his research will definitely be on the right track. I believe it won’t be long before we can see him come up with truly valuable research results.
As for the relationship between him and Milomon, Sui Xiong is not worried at all. Although Mado Kong has a bit of a venomous mouth, it depends on who he is facing. Facing the legendary strongman Milomon, even if he was given more courage, his mouth would not be poisonous.
What's more... if he doesn't learn well, Milomon will educate him well.
Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh again after imagining Mado Kong's vicious tongue and being educated by Milomon.
After finishing this matter, he set off for Gars City to see if anyone wanted to see him, so he tried to lure him there.
Gars City is now the most prosperous city in the entire Blue Moon Kingdom, even far above the capital Moonlight City. This is an important port for trade between sea tribes and humans. Many commodities from the deep sea can only be purchased more conveniently here. Especially some extremely precious things are basically sold out as soon as they come on the market. Outside the city of Gars, they are either priceless or can only be bartered.
The overall structure of this city, which was once in ruins, is like three Chinese characters "口" and "冂" connected together. The three "口" are the shape of the city, and the "冂" is the shape of the port. . The city is divided into the residential city, the inner city and the outer city. The outer city is connected to the port area on the east side. The city's main commercial activities are concentrated on the central axis from the city to the port. Several large shops line both sides of the road. Almost all legal goods can be purchased in these shops. Among them, the two located on the easternmost side, almost adjacent to the pier, are Haizu merchandise stores. Behind the specialty store on the north side, there is a wonderful pink building, which is the only Sea Clan embassy in the world.
Of course, there are many small and medium-sized shops in Gars City, which are scattered throughout the city. The small ones only buy daily groceries, while the large ones are equally powerful, and some of them are engaged in smuggling and black business.
The Lord of Gars City, Carissa Riley, is quite tolerant. Except for some particularly unscrupulous businesses, she turns a blind eye to other businesses. Therefore, the smuggling industry here is also quite developed, especially those who smuggle weapons and magic materials, which are repeatedly banned.
Of course, if Lord Consul Leon really wants to ban these businesses, he will certainly be able to do so. But he has no intention of cracking down on smuggling particularly - in his opinion, it is not a problem at all if a cargo ship carries some private goods, or if a caravan smuggles some untaxed items.
Every time someone suggested that he crack down on smuggling, he replied: "If the water is too clear, you can't support fish. As long as it's not serious enough to hinder normal business, forget it."
After all, for this city, sea business, spices, various handicrafts and high-quality products are the key to their business. As for other things, they don't mind leaking a little from their fingers to those small businessmen.
There is also a very special bulk business in Gars City, which is food procurement. It is located on the east side of the main plane continent, not far from the famous Eastern Plains. The eastern plain is a world-famous granary with fertile land and developed agriculture. Every autumn when the grain is harvested, Gals City will purchase a large amount of grain, and then transport it to Void City through magical means for storage. This business alone supports the commercial backbone of at least four or five nearby cities, and also provides at least Twenty small and medium-sized lords brought the most reliable income in a year.
In the past, every autumn was the time when merchants lowered the price of rice. The so-called low price of grain hurts farmers, and the "excessive harvest of three to five buckets" occurs not only on earth, but also in this world. But this is not how business is done in Gars City. No matter how bumper the food harvest is, they will not aggressively lower prices. On the contrary, they will purchase grain at a more reliable and generous price, especially when purchasing directly from farmers, their prices will be slightly higher.
This is of course not a normal business practice, but an order from His Majesty the Mask of the Void. His Majesty the Mask of the Void believes that only by allowing the common people to make money can we truly promote the prosperity of the country, so he has never minded making concessions that benefit the people.
The annual grain purchase has earned the city of Gars a reputation for kindness, and has also earned the generous god the respect of farmers throughout the eastern plains. Nowadays, many farmers have a strange statue enshrined in their homes. The statue is of a man wearing a robe and carrying a hoe, with a round jellyfish on his shoulder.
These are the God of Agriculture and the Mask of the Void. Although their churches have not launched full-scale missionary work in the Eastern Great Plains, the desire of people's hearts is the strongest means of spreading faith.
