I traveled to the beast world and became the scumbag who ran away with the beast king
Chapter 134: Choose what is beneficial to you
"Guess what I discovered!" Li Fei said, his face enigmatic, as he secretly took credit for it. "After studying day and night, I've been able to offer some ideas for increasing national treasury revenue."
Li Fei presented the tax return she had brought with her: "I discovered Nantong City..."
"Wait a minute." A series of food was brought to the table by the subordinates behind him. Chi Jie sat upright at the dining table and waved to Xi Fei to signal him to stand aside first. He seemed not to notice the paper Xi Fei presented to him.
As if he had spotted some food he liked, Chi Jie's eyes fell on the large bowl in the middle of a luxurious mountain of meat on the table, and he chuckled, "You came at the right time. Someone has offered a unique food. Let's sit down and taste it together."
Is this dinner time? You don't know what blind spot I've discovered for making money! A level 7 impoverished city paid over 300 million coins in just one rainy season!
——The Prime Minister of the Southern Wilderness Empire, Xi Fei, began to howl in his heart.
However, even though he wanted to howl in his heart, he smiled on the surface. He was the Beast King Chijie, and anyone who was smart knew that they had to remain submissive in front of him.
Of course, everyone knows that the Beast King did not win the imperial throne by peaceful succession. The reason why he stood at the top of the Southern Wilderness Empire was because of his extremely powerful military force.
The rulers of the empire really didn't dare to do whatever they wanted in front of the Beast King, even though he always had a smile on his face.
With the corners of his mouth raised, Xi Fei thanked the king and sat down in the seat below opened by the servants, his eyes fixed precisely on the food that the king had been looking at.
Uh……
Surprisingly, it was a large plate of leg bones and meat cooked with brown leaves, placed on the side closest to the king, saying that he should have a taste. Even the servants only filled a small bowl the size of a palm and placed it in front of him.
The large plate was brought directly to Wang. Chi Jie picked up a pair of silver chopsticks and slowly tasted the same stewed pork ribs with sauerkraut that she made and sold during her live broadcast. Her golden eyes were shining, and she looked like she was enjoying the delicious food.
Seeing this, Xi Fei smelled a special meaty aroma and suddenly felt a little hungry in her stomach. She unconsciously picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of broken bones and meat and put it into her mouth. In the sunlight, her narrow and long ice-blue pupils suddenly became round.
So, so delicious!
The taste is fragrant and tasty, and the soup is perfectly integrated into the bones and flesh of the precious hornworm. The taste is not very sour, but it stirs up the little gap in the stomach as soon as it is eaten, making people subconsciously want to take another bite.
The small bowl was not very filling. Li Fei felt that she had just tasted it and it was gone.
He raised his head, licked his lips, and asked, "King, I am truly amazed by the cooking skills of the Empire's chefs. I would like to shamelessly ask you for a bowl of this food to take back for my wife to taste."
Chi Jie quickly but gracefully finished the dish of pickled cabbage and stewed meat and bones, took the handkerchief offered by his subordinates, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said slowly:
"It tastes great. You specially brought the Nantong City tax revenue for me to see. Don't you know where this food comes from?"
Chi Jie said this, stood up and walked out of the restaurant, leaving Li Fei and the thin piece of paper on the table.
At this moment, the first thought in Xi Fei's mind was not that he was ashamed of himself for being so anxious and rude. He found out that the taxes in Nantong City were high, but he ran to report to Wang in a hurry without doing any detailed investigation.
But, the mayor of Nantong City must have Nantong City’s sauerkraut now!
This... is... really... great.
Sitting at the dining table, the aroma of sauerkraut and horn bone stew still lingered in his nose. Lizard Fei almost couldn't wait to catch up with the Beast King, squinting his eyes and suggesting:
"Wang, it's my fault. The mayor of Nantong City is also in Pantian City right now. Why don't we invite him over to ask about the sauerkraut issue?"
Chi Jie raised his eyebrows. In Ying Kong's report just now, the two houses she bought should be related to the sauerkraut. Suddenly, he became interested in how the Lord of Nantong City would cooperate with her.
He nodded slightly, turned around and summoned the subordinates from the Imperial Palace, asking him to call the mayor of Nantong City over immediately.
……
After the Beast King's coronation ceremony, Niu Ding stayed like all the city lords.
Next up is the Southern Wilderness Empire’s annual female coming-of-age ceremony banquet.
These things are not very attractive to Niu Ding, who has already made a bond with her. The reason she stays here is because of the most important thing before the annual female coming-of-age ceremony - hunting.
The hunting was carried out in the primitive hunting mountains behind the Imperial Palace of Pantian City. The prey there were all extremely dangerous and difficult to hunt. The total one day and one night just happened to include both day and night, taking into account the orcs who were accustomed to day and night.
The lords of the 202 cities can send their own forces to participate and return with prey at the specified time the next day. The ranking will be determined based on the rarity and quantity of the prey.
Winning the battle, receiving a medal from the King of Beasts, being chosen as the most powerful prey to be served at the banquet, and being able to show off in front of the females is an exciting event for all male beasts.
This year marks the first year of the Beast King's coronation. Niu Ding's previous offering of sauerkraut didn't earn the Beast King's attention, but he didn't give up. Soon, a Level 7 City Lord will be able to upgrade—through economic revenue.
At this moment, Niu Ding received a summons from the Beast King of the Southern Wilderness Empire. He was so nervous and excited that his nostrils widened. He immediately dressed up and followed the guards into the main hall of the imperial palace.
Niu Ding didn't dare to look up and look at the Beast King. He raised his hand, palm facing his forehead, bowed his head and saluted, then stood in front of His Highness with his head lowered.
Chi Jie looked down at the Lord of Nantong City.
He could feel the excitement of the Lord of Nantong City. He was very accustomed to this kind of emotion, which often appeared in his orc ministers and city lords, all of whom hoped to receive affirmation, praise and rewards from him.
The mayor of Nantong City had exactly the same idea at this moment.
Very common.
Chi Jie sat on the throne, his hands casually resting on the armrests. He raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "The ceremonial officer said you were the one who presented the sauerkraut?"
A calf appeared in Niu Ding's happy heart, mooing towards the sky.
He remained respectful on the surface and reported to his superior, "Yes, Your Majesty, this is a new food that has appeared in our Nantong City. I think it tastes good, so I specially presented it to you."
"Not bad." Chi Jie nodded, then asked casually, "Who made it?"
"This pickled cabbage was discovered by an orc in my city and she came to me. I immediately recognized the quality of the pickled cabbage she made, so I bought the recipe and opened a restaurant. This helped boost the economy of Nantong City during the rainy season."
Although Feng Si had the greatest contribution, Niu Ding did not report it truthfully and secretly changed some of the information. After all, Feng Si had suddenly turned into a female and did not need any credit now.
He picked out the things that were beneficial to him and told Wang how smart he was and how well he managed the city. He said he would definitely be able to lead Nantong City to better development in the future.
