Behind him were two special soldiers who changed into civilian clothes, disguised as two: attendants of noble girls.
"Wow...
Half an hour later, the ship slowly sailed into the port of Margaux City, and the boatmen pretended to furl the sails.
Two months ago, before the steamship set off, Liu Feng asked the workshop to add sails in order to do a good job of concealment.
After all, no one knew what kind of crazy things those orcs would do when they saw a ship that could sail without sails, so it was necessary to pick up the package for safety.
Avery and the two got off the boat gracefully and walked straight towards the city of Margaux.
The special forces attendant behind him stuffed two coins into the port knight, signaling that his lady did not want to be disturbed.
Twenty minutes later, the two of Avery entered the city. Looking at the muddy and smelly streets, they couldn't help frowning, and subconsciously covered their noses with their hands. "What a terrible city, how does it look like a royal capital?" Avery held up her skirt, trying to avoid the potholes on the ground.
Jones was the same, she said helplessly, "Let's go find a place to eat first." "Well, there are many people in the place to eat, so maybe we can find out something." Avery agreed.
Originally, the two wanted to ride in a carriage, but when they saw the carriage passing by just now, they gave up the idea without hesitation. With such a bumpy carriage, I don't know how many times they vomited on the road.
Half an hour later, the two came to a place to eat, and the sign outside said buckwheat rice.
""~ Ladies, what would you like to order? ' asked the clerk very politely.
His eyes were attracted by the beauty of the two of Jones, and he secretly compared it with the good princess of the Torola Empire, and found that the two Leopard-Er Niangs were more like princesses.
"What do you have here?" Jones asked.
"There are buckwheat rice, buckwheat pancakes, and some stewed wild pork and fish... The clerk introduced.
Jones raised her eyebrows imperceptibly. These things didn't sound very tasty. She said helplessly, "Give us two buckwheat rice and some stewed wild pork."
Avery saw Leopard-Er Niang ordering food, but she just nodded her head lightly. Eating (for Zhao's) is not the purpose of this time. As for what to eat, just order something casually. How delicious.
"Okay, please wait a moment, let's do it now." The clerk said respectfully, turned around and left.
The small storefront is not very big, it can seat about ten people, and it is meal time, and the store is already full.
The wolf-eared girls were scanning their eyes, trying to figure out where to start in order to obtain useful information.
Avery lowered her head lightly, gestured forward with her chin, and said in a low voice, "Jones, look over there."
Jones followed the trend and found that it was two businessmen, so she also whispered, "Listen to what they say later.
"Hmm." Avery nodded her head lightly, her orange eyes still scanning the surroundings.
"Second update, Cv7). Please customize, please support.".

Twenty minutes later, the clerk brought out two bowls of buckwheat rice and some stewed wild pork with a tray.
"Two ladies take it easy." The clerk put it down and left.
Avery and Jones looked at the food on the table, without the slightest appetite.
The leopard-eared lady picked up a spoon first, dug a spoonful of buckwheat rice into her mouth, and spit it out as soon as she took it in.
Goo...
Jones hurriedly took a sip of water to rinse her mouth, frowned slightly and said, "This is too unpalatable."

Seeing the reaction of Leopard-Er Niang, Avery put down the spoon in her hand, picked up the fork and forked a piece of stewed wild boar. After struggling for a while, she put it into her mouth.
"...without exception, the wolf-eared girls also spit out the stewed pork, but they wrapped it in a paper towel.
If you blatantly dislike the taste and are seen by people at other tables, it will attract attention. After all, everyone else looks delicious and enjoys the food. "After you find Darlene, eat some of the food they brought." Jones took another sip of water, feeling the bitter taste in her mouth was still there.
Avery nodded, took a bite of the jerky mutton she carried with her, and gave a piece to Leopard-eared Niang, and said in a low voice, "Even the food in the king's capital of the Torola Empire tastes so bad, it seems Our 000s must sell well."
Jones looked sideways at the businessmen and said softly, "They are still chatting about irrelevant topics."
Ten minutes later, the wolf-eared girls were all pretending to eat with a spoon, but they didn't even take a bite.
Finally, after the businessmen at the next table had satiated, they started another topic.
"Wrong? Have you been to the market in the past two days?" A businessman asked.
"Go, there seem to be quite a few businessmen from the mainland over there." Another businessman replied.
- A merchant took a sip of buckwheat wine and said, "The goods there are really good."
"Yeah, that thing called paper is really a fetish. I bought a lot and plan to take it to another city to sell." The businessman was full of smiles.
Conversations like this have been echoing around the table, and each of them seems to have dug up treasure, with the corners of their mouths wide open, like blood-sucking mosquitoes.
Jones whispered, "What a cunning merchant."
"Your Majesty (aeef) is right, these businessmen are not satisfied." Avery also marveled at the other party's lion.
"However, it's good news. At least the goods from Chang'an City are popular here." Jones said lightly.
Avery nodded, this is also good news, but they didn't hear the news they wanted.
After about five minutes, a businessman changed the subject and said, "It's just that the coins they want are banknotes, and the exchange rate is too low, it's really a disadvantage.
"I heard that in the mainland over there, the exchange rate is not as low as here, and the banknotes are very valuable now." Another businessman lamented.
"Yes, and the banknotes are very useful, much more useful than our coins."
The businessman complained, "Yesterday I wanted to buy that perfume, but it cost dozens of silver coins. How could I bring so many coins out for shopping?"
The bottle of perfume worth dozens of silver coins came from Darlene's booth. The latest product in Chang'an City is called King's perfume. The marketing gimmick is that the king is also using it.
Avery and Jones glanced at each other, and what they were talking about now was exactly what they wanted.
As long as someone starts to complain that coins are not easy to use, after setting up a bank, they only need to find a few trustees to encourage the crowd, and the goal will be achieved.
Although it can't be accepted by people all at once, if more than a dozen people can enter the bank, if they are still businessmen, it will have a publicity effect. "There are people in need." The corners of Jones' mouth slightly raised.
"Businessmen's acceptance of this aspect of the bank is still relatively high." Avery nodded.
Jones took a sip of water and said, "Darlene is right, if you want to inquire about news, you can hear it at the place where you eat."
People in this era have nothing else to talk about. They just talk about which family's horse is dead, which hateful noble has increased taxes and so on. Avery got up to pay the coins, and greeted, "Let's go and find Darlene and the others."
"Yeah." Jones nodded, and left the table with her skirt lifted.
After eating, the two walked around the street. The glamorous two attracted a lot of attention on the street, and many people were talking about them.
