Chapter 225, Caravan Escort Reward
The next day, Purul City.
The streets of Purul City are extremely lively today.
The hot pot restaurant launched another ocean-themed activity. On a simple wooden platform, rabbit maids sang and danced, showing off their talents.
Even though it was not that professional, during this period, a few civilians had seen professional performances.
The main thing is the excitement and lively atmosphere.
People gathered in front of the hotpot restaurant early in the morning, surrounding several floors, watching the performance.
Even more people gathered than before when the city lord announced new policies.
Even if you don't eat hot pot, come and watch the show.
Inside the store.
All seats are occupied and guests are enjoying the newly launched seafood hot pot.
"How is it? Is the effect okay?" Fang Hao stood in front of the counter.
Behind the counter, Xin Yaoyao wiped her sweat and said while keeping accounts: "Yes, Fu Lei went back to pick up the goods again. There are too many customers, and we can't supply them every day."
Xin Yaoyao is Fu Lei's girlfriend, and she also came to the store to help with the accounting work.
In the past, Fu Lei would bring fish to the city to sell, but he might not be able to sell them all by the time the sun sets.
You also need to take it back and dry it into dried fish.
Fortunately, Fu Lei has gone back to restock for the third time. If he does this every day, even if he makes more money, he will not be able to supply enough fish.
"In today's outbreak period, there will be more people, and the number of people will gradually decrease tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." Fang Hao said.
He knew this very well.
The population of Purul City is limited, and most of the residents just want to stay fresh.
Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the number of people eating fish pot will gradually decrease. After all, most people are civilians, and they only occasionally improve their lives.
"By the way, boss, several nearby villages have been attacked by wild beasts recently. Fu Lei would like to take this opportunity to help several villages eliminate wild beasts and then turn them into affiliated villages." Xin Yaoyao said.
The nearby villages she mentioned were several small villages near Tamsui Lake.
They all rely on fishing for a living. If they can be turned into auxiliary villages, the production of freshwater fish can also be increased.
"Okay, pay attention to safety. If the village is not willing to join, don't force it." Fang Hao thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'll tell Fu Lei when he comes back."
"Well, that's it. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go sit back in the pub opposite."
"Okay boss."
The temperature in the store was too high. When they walked out, his and Anjia's foreheads were covered with beads of sweat.
He wiped his sweat and walked straight towards the pub opposite.
Enter the tavern.
The landlady held her chin in a daze, and when she saw the two people coming in, she just glanced at them slightly.
"Why, are you in a bad mood today?" Fang Hao sat down in front of the bar.
The landlady rolled her eyes at him and said, "Did you come here to see my joke?"
"What do you mean?"
"Humph, your shop is getting more and more prosperous. Look at my tavern, there is no one there." The proprietress complained dissatisfiedly.
She also took several bartenders from the tavern to try hot pot.
It was indeed delicious, different from the food they had eaten before, and it seemed like they were addicted.
As soon as I smell the aroma wafting from the shop opposite, I can't help but swallow my saliva and want to eat again.
Today, Fang Hao's store launched another ocean-based hotpot, and the rabbits were singing and dancing all morning.
It attracted a lot of customers, which made the landlady jealous.
In addition, the business of his tavern was getting worse and worse, and he became very angry when he saw Fang Hao.
"It's just morning, and it's not the prime time in your pub." Fang Hao comforted softly.
"Hey! There aren't many people at night now. My pub is almost closed." The proprietress sighed.
He looked a little frustrated, but he still wiped his hands with a rag and gave them two glasses of beer.
What can she say? The restaurant opened by Fang Hao is indeed delicious and attracts most people in the city.
Moreover, the drinks in Fang Hao's store have been adjusted back to their original prices, and she has made appropriate price cuts here, but she still can't compete with others.
What else could she say? She couldn't let Fang Hao close the restaurant just to take care of her.
"Take another look. If it doesn't work, come and help me." Fang Hao said with a smile.
This time the landlady did not refute, but sat aside and thought.
It seems that the tavern is really not going to work anymore.
Fang Hao didn't say anything more, and his eyes fell on the notice board nearby.
There is still no new map today.
But there's a new bounty.
In the column below his own bounty for the Sword of Mitigation, there is a new bounty written on it.
[Reward: Escort the convoy]
[Task: Escort the cloth merchants in the city to Lysis City. 】
[Requirements: A mercenary team of 10 people. 】
[Reward: 200 gold coins. 】
"The reward announced by Tavik?" Fang Hao asked the landlady.
"Well, I heard that I will be leaving the city tomorrow to transport goods, but I haven't found a suitable escort team yet." The landlady replied softly.
"I remember that Tavik was quite rich and had his own caravan. Why did he hire mercenaries?"
Tarvik is the cloth merchant in the city.
Fang Hao rescued his daughter from the kidnappers and also met Tavik.
In Fang Hao's memory, he had his own caravan and did business in surrounding cities. Why was he still offering a reward in the tavern?
"That's not clear. There may be more goods this time, or there may be other dangers on the road." The landlady said still listlessly.
"Okay." Fang Hao drank the beer in his hand and took Anjia out of the pub.
The two went directly to Tavik's residence.
After the briefing, I met Tavik smoothly.
"Mr. Fang Hao, Miss Anjia." Tavik smiled.
"Mr. Tarvik."
The three of them sat down in front of the living room, and a servant brought drinks and cakes.
"I saw the reward posted by Mr. Tavik in the tavern. It said that we need to hire a team of 10 mercenaries." Fang Hao said straight to the point.
Tavik was slightly stunned, not expecting that Fang Hao came to him for this matter.
He nodded and said: "Not just one, but as long as there are 10 people, you can join, and the reward will increase for the more people."
"I remember Mr. Tarwick has his own caravan, why do we need so many people all of a sudden?" After Fang Hao finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Hey!" Tavik said with a sad face, "I encountered some troubles and lost a lot of people and goods. And this time I had to go to Lysis City with the goods, so I had to hire those mercenaries. I thought if we increase the number of people, there won’t be any trouble.”
Tarvik didn't say it directly, but he could guess some.
His caravan must have encountered danger, suffering heavy casualties and being unable to complete the escort.
And Tavik had to deliver the goods, so he posted the reward in the tavern.
However, with the recent incident involving the Fire Wolf Mercenary Group, the mercenaries have been traced and controlled by the city lord. Many mercenary groups have left Purul City to develop in other cities.
This also left Tavik unable to find the right team manpower for a while.
"Where is Lysis City? Is there a map?" Fang Hao asked softly.
Tavik was stunned for a moment, then a look of joy appeared on his face.
He knew Fang Hao's strength. If he could convince Fang Hao to escort him, he wouldn't have to worry about the safety of the caravan.
"Yes." Tavik immediately asked someone to get the map.
The map unfolded, and Fang Hao also knew the location of Lysis City.
The city of Lysis is south of the city of Purul. Although it can be regarded as a neighboring city, the distance is not too close.
Fu Lei's fishing village is sandwiched between the two.
"Mr. Fang Hao, if you are willing to escort me, I am willing to pay you double the original fee." Tavik's tone was full of expectation.
Fang Hao thought for a moment and realized that this was someone who could follow Tavik to the next human city.
Whether it is subsequent development or understanding surrounding forces, it will be helpful.
He raised his head again and looked at Tavik opposite, "I can escort your caravan, but I'm afraid the reward needs to be changed."
"Oh? What does Mr. Fang Hao want?"
"Holy Snow Silk, a cultivable young silkworm." (End of Chapter)
