Cosma Empire
Chapter 103
The atmosphere of the cold field seems cold, but in fact, on the contrary, those who come prepared are confident and calm, but those who are not prepared are worried and anxious.
Carroll has been winking at Ernst, and it is clear that the situation is a little different from what he imagined.
In the silence, the waiter came over with a steak, put it in front of Turin, and placed knives and forks for him - two sets in total, because there was a small piece of food on the plate in addition to the steak.
The topic of how to use tableware can be extended to a thick academic book. The noble''s strict requirements for the details of life make their daily life become a suffering in the eyes of ordinary people. Think about it, it is indeed the same truth. It takes about two hours to dress up every day. If you want to attend some grand banquets, this time may be longer. How can ordinary people bear such a refreshing ordinary life?
However, in the view of the nobility, the standardization of speech and behavior is the most effective way to distinguish between "nobility" and "Dalits" in this new era. For the set of rules they have made, they abide by them more and more strictly. It seems that they can get superior pleasure in this way. Especially when they are arrogant and look at those unidentified Dalits with a pity smile, they will make a helpless expression to the people around them.
Look, this is the bitch!
Although there are many things in the aristocratic rules that really have no value, people like to follow them, because everyone wants to be an elite in the upper class. It is a class and circle full of some temptation, which makes all people who think they are successful want to get in.
People always laugh at or slander some mainstream things, such as power, such as money, such as class. But everyone envies those who have these things at the same time. This is a very contradictory psychological activity. In another world, people call this psychology "hatred of the rich". The enemy of wealth is not only wealth, but also many other things they don''t have.
This is a high-end restaurant, and the reception is naturally people with status. Du Lin doesn''t know this, so he chose a relatively more convenient and larger tableware for dinner. He cut the steaks roughly, put a piece of beef obviously larger than the fork into his mouth, chewed it for a few times, swallowed it, and nodded with satisfaction.
The taste was much better than all the steaks he had eaten. He had never tasted so good. When he looked back at the waiter, he paused a little, and then asked, "where does this steak come from?"
The waiter''s face wore a very standard smile and showed eight teeth. The clean and tidy teeth glowed faintly under the light. "This is wagley cattle. It is only produced in a few pastures of the Empire. The price is very expensive. You need 68 yuan for your share, sir."
Durin whistled, 68 yuan. How many bottles of wine do you have to sell to earn money for a meal? There is no doubt that the price of the red wine on the table and the food in front of the two big people is definitely higher than he imagined. You know, he has chewed bread harder than stone. He must sprinkle some water and heat it next to the fire before he can barely chew the next layer.
It was too extravagant. He sighed and continued to eat the beef pieces with uneven edges and corners.
"Don''t you have anything to say?" asked Dooling as he chewed, and meat crumbs and soup burst out of his mouth.
Carroll looked at Turin coldly, but Ernst opened his mouth first. He first wrinkled his eyebrows and observed Turin for a while. Then he hesitated and asked, "are you... A dollar that day?", which was an obvious question, because Ernst saw Turin himself for the first time and thought of the boy that day, He helped him deliver some things to others and paid a dollar for it.
At this time, Doolin also noticed Ernst, then nodded happily, "I remember. Since he is an acquaintance, it''s easier to explain the next thing." Doolin quickly swallowed the last steak, wiped his mouth and leaned back, "Wood is dead, but someone has to take over his shift. I know there are some rules between you and others."
"I intend to abide by this agreement!"
Dooling had a whole idea before he came. The rules of the game formulated by the bosses are not something he can destroy now. If he doesn''t want to be the next unlucky guy who died inexplicably in a dark corner and became mouse food, he must learn to use "gamers" To join the game. The rules are not established to let it be destroyed by some people or things one day. As long as Dooling doesn''t show this idea, he is safe at least in a short time.
Moreover, people also need a relatively stable order, whether it is about public security or about the market.
Ernst picked up the napkin, touched his lips, folded it and put it in the corner of the table on his left. He tilted his head slightly and showed a very serious expression. The indifference on Carroll''s face eased a little. This is good news. If Turin is willing to follow the rules of the game, he must make concessions.
When both of them focused on Du Lin, Du Lin said slowly: "The market is limited. Tenar is a big city in my eyes, but I believe that in the eyes of both of you, this city is nothing, because there are many more prosperous and rich cities in binar. Compared with those places, this is just a slum. I know that there is only one core rule formulated by those bosses, that is competition."
"They need us to compete with each other, a kind of controllable competition. I will follow this rule of the game, but in addition, I think we can try not to destroy it in another way, but it has the nature of ''Transcendence''."
"We continue to compete for this small market in tenel. Please allow me to use the word ''small'', but we should focus on places outside tenel, such as Orlando or other big cities, which is our main battlefield."
Ernst gradually raised his hand to his chin and stared at Turin. Turin''s proposal interested him very much.
No one will be indifferent to more money!
"Tell me what you think!"
