After Zhou Bai and Ding Qiurou unhesitatingly started seasoning the seafood with the condints, Li Zhongdong next to them was stunned.
"Soy sauce, vinegar—you’ve made these?" Li Zhongdong said, swallowing his saliva uncontrollably.
When they had just crossed over to this place, eating the free seafood filled them with happiness, but after eating a lot, they really started missing the various flavors of seafood from before.
Not just seafood but other foods too, which were worlds apart in flavor compared to modern tastes.
It’s not that nobody tried to replicate them, but without the right ingredients, even a skilled cook can’t make rice without rice, and so they just endured.
Now, looking at these seasonings, their mouths watered with craving.
"Right, Hope Village has made them. We got lucky and found alternative ingredients that are just as good if not better," Zhou Bai introduced, hoping to expand the market for his territory.
"Do you still have so? I want to buy so from you," Li Zhongdong couldn’t hold back. He wanted to taste it right away.
"I brought just enough for my own use, I don’t have any stock, sorry." Zhou Bai hadn’t planned to sell the condints, so why would he have a surplus? But then he thought again and added, "A team from Hope Village will be arriving here soon, selling spices within the next day or two. Just wait a bit!"
Zhou Bai thought that if Yun Juncai’s subordinates could reach Kellyville Village, then it would be no issue for Zhong Yongnian and ng Chengzhou.
Probably in no more than a couple of days, the market in Kellyville Village would be dominated by goods from Hope Village.
Aside from other considerations, the marketplace in Kellyville Village was bound to be huge, especially since there were dragons here...
Li Zhongdong, upon hearing this, had to suppress his eager heart.
And Zhou Bai, thinking of dragons, looked at the seafood that had been largely dealt with, then gazed towards the distant, virtually empty sea. Turning to Li Zhongdong, he asked, "You’re saying this is a platform for viewing the Dragon Clan? Where are the dragons?"
Li Zhongdong paused, then said, "That depends on luck."
"Luck?" Zhou Bai said with interest, raising his eyebrows.
eting Zhou Bai’s gaze, Li Zhongdong felt a bit embarrassed and nodded, "This spot is not just hidden, but also close to the Dragon Cave where the Dragon Clan resides. When dragons appear, this is the quickest and clearest view, but no one can pinpoint the dragons’ schedule. So, I can’t give you a definitive answer."
"How many tis have dragons appeared in the last few days?" Zhou Bai asked out of instinct.
Coming to see dragons and not even catching a glimpse of one is frustrating.
"Once, there has been an appearance," Li Zhongdong stated with confidence. After all, they hadn’t deceived anyone.
Zhou Bai fell silent for a mont, then asked, "Was that the ti when the Saint-level professionals ca to talk business with her?"
Li Zhongdong, feeling Zhou Bai’s sharpness, reluctantly nodded.
"Aren’t you selling dog at under the sign of lamb?" Ding Qiurou couldn’t help but speak up after listening to the exchange.
Li Zhongdong muttered an excuse, "It’s labeled the best dragon viewing platform, but we never promised a dragon sighting! And from here, you can indeed see the Dragon Cave; look, that island over there."
All the teams are playing word gas!
Dragon Exploration Team, isn’t this just searching for where dragons are?
Self-service Seafood Team, eat, drink, and be rry while overlooking the Dragon Cave—that’s been delivered.
Camping Team, beach camping for a two-day trip—never promised dragon sightings!
Zhou Bai listened to these explanations in silence.
Impressive, very clever.
On reflection, it makes sense. How could beings as powerful as the Dragon Clan just casually appear for onlookers?
"Refund, I want a refund! You’ve deceived us! Where’s the dragon?" Just when Zhou Bai was giving up on the issue, other tourists from his group couldn’t hold back after hearing the explanations and began angrily seeking soone to settle accounts with.
"Sorry, we only provide a platform and never guaranteed sightings. The fees are non-refundable."
"If I can’t see a dragon, why would I pay for a viewing platform spot?"
"The ocean view is also quite nice, isn’t it?"
"Are you trying to force a sale on us?"
"Guest, don’t you think the seafood alone was worth the price of admission?"
"..."
The conversations around Zhou Bai reached their ears.
Li Zhongdong felt awkward and hurriedly explained, "This has happened a few tis before, but we can handle it."
Zhou Bai, seeing Li Zhongdong’s cautious deanor, cut to the chase, "Go and soothe the other custors. We’re fine, enjoying the seafood and sea views is great."
"Do you need more seafood? Shall I bring more over?" Li Zhongdong hastily offered.
"No need, we’ll get it ourselves," Zhou Bai said directly as others were already calling for Li Zhongdong.
Li Zhongdong gave an apologetic smile before quickly tending to the other custors.
"This restaurant isn’t up to scratch! Attracting custors through deception won’t last long." After Li Zhongdong left, Ding Qiurou bluntly suggested, "If they had inford us beforehand, even without seeing dragons, just the seafood alone would draw custors, avoiding lots of trouble."
"That might have been put together by the Kellyville Village rchants, and they may adjust it later. The owner of the place does seem quite savvy," Zhou Bai gave a fair assessnt, "Perhaps, the idea ca from Blue Star people."
Self-service seafood, observation platform—firmly grasping the custor’s mindset.
It’s true, more interaction between Blue Star people and different territories is good; the clash of two sets of ideas helps people integrate into this world and survive better.
The thoughts of Blue Star people have their good and bad sides.
Ding Qiurou, listening, didn’t say anything more and simply suggested, "Since we’re here, why not just enjoy the food?"
"I’ll go grab so more and cook it up for you," Zhou Bai nodded in agreent.
Then he grabbed a bunch of seafood and started processing it.
Zhou Bai directly used magic to produce a small fla, searing the seafood while spreading various barbecue sauces over it.
With searing underway, the fragrance grew more and more intense.
"Forget the rest; life truly becos more convenient with magic," Ding Qiurou inhaled deeply, full of sentint.
Using magic, utilizing skills had unconsciously beco a part of their lives.
The past was growing further and further away.
"Yes!" Zhou Bai agreed and then handed a finished portion to Ding Qiurou before starting on the second.
Unbeknownst to Zhou Bai at this ti, not far from there in the Dragon Cave, Philaya couldn’t help but twitch her nose.
Such a tempting aroma!
