The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others sat in their carriage as they entered Carson City. They went straight to the Eastern Market. The Eastern Market was the largest market in Carson City. It was a wholesale market for daily necessities, both wholesale and retail. Compared to other places, the Eastern Market was much cheaper. Because of this, it was very popular among Carson City's commoners.
When Zhao Hai's carriage reached the outskirts of the Eastern Market, they couldn't enter. Zhao Hai looked at the people in the market and couldn't help but shake his head. He suddenly thought of the situation back on Earth when he participated in the Temple Fair. The people in the Eastern Market were almost the same as back then.
Zhao Hai turned his head to the others and said, "Alright, let's go down and walk. The carriage certainly can't enter. Shue, you stay here and look after the carriage."
Shue nodded, then Zhao Hai and the others got down from the carriage and slowly walked towards the market. The people in the market looked at Zhao Hai's group, they were very curious.
Zhao Hai looked around and found a problem. There were a lot of people on the street, but there weren't any people wearing noble robes. Most of them were commoners, there weren't even any servants.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Megan and said, "Megan, how come there aren't any nobles here? Look at the way these people are looking at us. "
Megan smiled and said, "Brother Hai, you really don't know. In the continent, nobles don't come out to buy things. They have their own people who deliver things. If they want something, they can just tell them. There's no need to buy it."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he didn't pay any more attention to it as he walked towards the Eastern Market. It was currently winter, and although the Roland Empire was much warmer than the Prairie, the four seasons were still very distinct. Winter was also very dry. In front of many shops, there were a lot of goods waiting to be sold. The shops were also very lively.
After a while, Zhao didn't follow the crowd. Instead, he walked while looking around. Blockhead and Rockhead were at his side, while Shun was at the front leading the way. When the civilians saw them, they immediately hid far away. Why would they stay on the road?
As they walked, Zhao Hai's gaze was suddenly attracted by a shop. The shops in the Eastern Market were very beautiful, the houses were also very standard, all of them were two-story buildings. But the shop that Zhao Hai saw was a bit different, it was a three-story building. Most importantly, it was a standalone shop, it wasn't close to the other buildings. Moreover, there weren't many people going in and out of the shop.
When Zhao Hai saw this situation, he couldn't help but ask Megan, "Megan, whose shop is it? Why is there nobody there? "
Megan looked at the store and smiled, "That's Grandpa Robert's store. His family is the Rosen Empire's largest wholesale store for daily necessities. They don't receive retail customers, everyone knows that. Because of this, very few commoners would go there." Megan smiled and said, "That's Grandpa Robert's store.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Then let's go there and take a look. I really want to know what they have."
Megan smiled and said, "I also wanted to go to his store. His products are definitely the most comprehensive in the entire Rosen Empire." Then the group entered the store.
Just as they arrived at the front of the shop, a shop assistant immediately came in. The shop assistant bowed to Zhao Hai and the others and said, "Mister, Miss, please come in." The shop assistant could see that Megan and the others were dressed like young girls. It was obvious that they weren't married yet, so he called them Miss.
Zhao Hai nodded and entered the shop. Upon entering the shop, Zhao Hai's eyes couldn't help but turn bright. The furnishings of the shop were very similar to the supermarkets that Zhao Hai had visited before. However, the shelves here weren't big, and the things on them were all samples. Each product had a sample on it, and there were also labels on the bottom of the product. Zhao Hai looked at the labels and saw that the products here were indeed cheaper compared to the ones he bought before.
In front of the door, there was a counter, and an old shopkeeper was standing there. When he saw Zhao Hai, he didn't care. But when he saw Megan, the shopkeeper's eyes couldn't help but turn bright. He immediately went out of the counter and walked towards Megan and said, "So it's Miss Megan, I've neglected you. Little Five, take Miss Megan and the others to a private room to rest. Also, bring them the best tea."
The shop assistant who led Zhao Hai and the others inside immediately complied and led them to the back of the shop. The shopkeeper whispered a few words to the shop assistant next to him. Then he followed behind Zhao Hai and the others to a private room in the back of the shop.
This was the first time that Zhao Hai saw a business like this. There was actually a private room in a grocery store. The layout of this private room was different from a restaurant's private room. There was no dining table here, only a sofa. There were also some blooming flowers and oil paintings hanging on the wall. It looked very elegant.
When Zhao Hai and the others sat down, the shop assistant immediately brought them some hot tea. Then the shopkeeper came in and bowed to Megan, "I've seen Miss Megan." Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "May I know who this is?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Zhao Hai, I heard from Megan that your shop has the most complete stock. I just happened to need some things today, so I came here to take a look."
When the shopkeeper heard Zhao Hai, he immediately knew about Zhao Hai's identity. Zhao Hai's identity wasn't a secret in Rosen Empire, everyone in the Great Clans knew about it.
The shopkeeper immediately replied, "Miss Megan is too kind. But our shop does have a complete stock. May I know what Mister Zhao Hai needs?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he took out a list and handed it over to the shopkeeper, "These are the things that I need, there's also the quantity. Take a look and see how long it will take to prepare them."
The shopkeeper respectfully took the list from Zhao Hai's hand and looked at it, then he said, "Our shop has everything that mister needs. If mister needs it right away, then we can prepare it within three hours."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then prepare it. I'll come and get it in three hours." The shopkeeper complied and then turned around to leave.
Seeing the shopkeeper leave, Zhao Hai turned to Megan and said, "Megan, the people in this shop seem to be very familiar with you. Do you know them? "
Megan smiled and said, "I know them. The Robert Family and our Calci Family are old friends. Because of this, I often go to their house to play. A lot of people in the family know me, but I don't know them. Just like the shopkeeper, I don't know him."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he took a sip of tea and said, "They need three hours to prepare, we can't just wait here. I think we should go to the West Market and take a look."
Megan nodded and said, "There's a lot of delicious food in the West Market. There's also a food street there. The things there are unique to Carson City, you won't be able to eat them anywhere else. Let's go and have a taste."
Zhao Hai smiled and agreed. The group went out of the shop and greeted the shopkeeper. Then they left the East Market and headed towards the West Market.
The West Market wasn't too far from the East Market, they were only separated by the main road of the city. Because of this, one side was called East City while the other side was called West City. These two markets were called East Market and West Market respectively.
The East Market mainly sold daily necessities. Naturally, there were also some restaurants, but there weren't many of them. They were mainly for people who wanted to buy things and eat there, their quality wasn't very high.
On the other hand, the West Market was mainly for food. It was divided into Snack Street, Food Material Street, and Kitchenware Street. Needless to say, as long as it's something that can be found in the continent, it would be sold there. Even things that can be found in the sea were sold there. However, the sea specialties that were sold there weren't anything special. Compared to the ones that Zhao Hai brought out, the quality was much worse.
As for the Kitchenware Street, besides kitchenware, there were also daily necessities. However, they weren't as complete as the ones in the East Market. Moreover, the prices were also slightly more expensive. In fact, a lot of the things that were sold here were imported from the East Market.
Zhao Hai and the others weren't interested in kitchenware. They first went to the Food Material Street and bought some things that Zhao Hai's Space didn't have. Naturally, what Zhao Hai wanted were living creatures. For example, some magic beasts that Zhao Hai didn't have in the Space. After throwing these things into the Space, Zhao Hai was disappointed. This was because the Space didn't level up.
The Food Material Street wasn't short. Walking from the beginning to the end would take more than an hour. Zhao Hai and the others bought hundreds of magic beasts, but the Space didn't level up. This made Zhao Hai very disappointed.
After coming out of the Food Material Street, they immediately went to the Food Street. This was the main place that they came to today. Carson City's snacks were famous throughout the continent, and this Food Street was a collection of all of Carson City's snacks. Naturally, Zhao Hai and the others wanted to eat their fill.
Before long, the group was holding a delicious snack in their hands. They were eating while walking. There were also a lot of people like them on the street, so it wasn't strange for them to do this.
Not only did Zhao Hai eat, he also bought a lot of things. These things couldn't be bought anywhere else. After strolling around for nearly an hour, Zhao Hai and the others sat in the car and headed towards the Eastern Market.
When they arrived in front of the Robert Family's store, Zhao Hai and the others stopped their car. Then a young man walked out of the store. This young man didn't seem to see anyone else as he walked straight towards Megan. With a smile on his face, he said, "Megan, why didn't you tell me that you came? When did you come back? "
Megan looked at the young man and smiled, "Brother Terry, I just came back yesterday. Today, I came to accompany Big Brother Hai to buy some things." Then she leaned towards Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai stared for a moment before he looked at Megan. Although Megan had a smile on her face, her smile seemed distant. Although he couldn't see any disgust in her eyes, he couldn't see any happiness either.
Zhao Hai understood, then when the young man turned his head to look at him, he smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Zhao Hai."
The young man looked at Zhao Hai with a smile on his face. He looked very handsome. However, his eyes flashed with contempt and killing intent, which was caught by Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai could be said to be a seasoned veteran. Now that someone was hostile to him, he could immediately feel it. Not only did he feel an enemy from Terry, he also felt killing intent.
Zhao Hai's expression couldn't help but sink, he naturally understood why the other party was acting this way. However, he didn't show it. Terry didn't feel the change in Zhao Hai's expression, he just smiled and said, "Hello, Mister Zhao Hai's name is like thunder in my ears. Mister is really a promising young man, you're much better than a playboy like me."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Mister is overpraising me. Zhao Hai is just a child, how can I compare to the Robert Family's business? I'm ashamed."
Terry smiled and said, "Mister is too modest. Don't stand outside and talk, let's go inside." Then he looked at Laura and Meg who were beside Zhao Hai, but he didn't say anything.
When Zhao Hai saw Terry's expression, he couldn't help but think that Terry liked Meg very much. Because of this, he was happy to see Meg. And because he liked Meg, he wanted to kill Terry.
After the group entered the private room, the servant served them tea as usual. Terry didn't touch the cup of tea, he just looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, are you planning to celebrate today's festival in Carson City? The Calci Family is a Great Family, it's very lively every year. "
What he said didn't sound wrong, but after thinking about it, Zhao Hai was the Patriarch of a Family. This time, he came to the Calci Family to celebrate God's Grace Day to accompany Meg. At the same time, he also wanted to see Charlie and build up his relationship with the Rosen Empire's nobles.
But Terry's words made it seem like Zhao Hai came to the Calci Family specifically to eat and drink. One must know that not all of the Calci Family's relatives lived well, there were some who didn't. Because of this, during the festival, these relatives would come to the Calci Family and give them small gifts. They would also say a few good words and take away a lot of money. Terry's words clearly placed Zhao Hai among these people.
Meg and Meg's complexion couldn't help but change, even Meg's expression wasn't very good. Zhao Hai didn't seem to notice, he just smiled and said, "Right, the Calci Family has a lot of people, so Carson City is very lively. But this time, I came here to discuss with Grandpa Randolph about my marriage with Meg next year."
When Zhao Hai said this, Terry's complexion couldn't help but change. But it didn't take long before he smiled and said to Zhao Hai, "That's good, when the time comes, I'll be sure to attend the wedding."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Welcome, welcome. Looking at Meg's appearance, it seems like she didn't treat you as an outsider. When the time comes, Mister Terry should come early."
Terry's face twitched slightly, but his smile didn't change, he just laughed and said, "Alright, I'll prepare a big gift when the time comes."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for mister's gift. Right, Mister Terry, it's already quite late, I don't know if the things I asked for are ready?"
