Mado Kong's incident could only be regarded as a small interlude for Sui Xiong, but it could also be regarded as a pleasant surprise.
For a long time, he did not have enough talents in the food and beverage industry. There was no shortage of chefs, but as everyone knew, in order for food and beverage to rise to the level of "food" or "diet," it needed to explore its cultural connotation. Why was China the land of food? The key was that Chinese not only loved to eat, but also knew how to eat, but also developed a rich and colorful food culture. It had even become one of the important symbols of China's culture.
Sui Xiong had once drooled while watching "A Bite of China," and had also eaten steamed buns while watching food programs. For him, food culture was not only his interest, but also his cultural instinct engraved in the depths of his soul.
It would have been fine if he did not have the conditions, but now that he had the conditions, he still wanted to promote food culture in this world and raise the food and beverage industry, which had always had a low status, to the level of "culture" in order to fulfill a wish in his heart.
Werewolf Miramon was a person who loved food. Now that he was already a legendary master, he had enough ability to support food culture. But after all, he was a boorish person. His research on food had always been from the perspective of "delicious." Although he was already a world-famous gourmet, and this title had even become his personal nickname, in Sui Xiong's opinion, if he only knew how to think about "what is delicious, how to make it delicious, and why it tastes delicious," he would always be a chef, and would never become a true master.
The reason why food culture was called culture was not only in the food itself, not only in the enjoyment of the taste that food brought to people, but more importantly, its connection with history and culture, as well as the benefits it brought from a health perspective.
Only by combining culture, health, and delicious food could it be called the art of food.
In this regard, Mado Kong, who was a scholar and had always focused on the relationship between various foods and health, could fill the gap in the area of "health." With his help, Miramon would definitely be able to further improve his skills.
The combination of food and health should be unprecedented in this world. There were no such things as "healthy meals" or "health recipes" in this world, and people had never really studied these problems. Because before Sui Xiong, the world had not even developed to the stage of food art. This kind of culture could be said to have just begun.
Mado Kong's previous research direction was a little problematic. It wasn't that he couldn't research it, but … he was so focused on picking sesame seeds that he couldn't see the big watermelon right in front of him. Whether it was from the perspective of economic value or from the perspective of academic status, researching the relationship between food and health, and then researching "how to eat more healthily" was the best path.
After all, everyone needed to be healthy.
Of course, this was also because he didn't have enough status and financial support in the past, so he couldn't conduct such high-end research. Now, with the help of Miramon, a world-famous Legendary Master, and with the funding from Sui Xiong, his research would definitely be on the right track. He believed that it wouldn't be long before he could come up with truly valuable research results.
As for the relationship between him and Miramon, Sui Xiong was even less worried. Although Mado Kong had a sharp tongue, it depended on who he was talking to. In the face of a Legendary Master like Miramon, even if he had more guts, he would not be able to speak so viciously.
Besides … if he did not learn to be obedient, Miramon would teach him a good lesson.
Imagining the scene of Mado Kong being taught a lesson by Miramon because of his sharp tongue, Sui Xiong couldn't help but laugh again.
After this matter was over, he set off for Garth City to see if anyone wanted to see him, so they were trying to lure him there.
Garth City was now the most prosperous city in the entire Kingdom of the Blue Moon, even more so than the capital, Moonlight City. It was an important port for the trade between the Sea Clan and humans. Many goods from the deep sea could only be bought here more conveniently. In particular, some extremely precious things were basically snapped up as soon as they were put on the market. In places outside Garth City, they were either priceless or could only be bartered.
The overall structure of this city, which had once been in ruins, was like a set of three Chinese characters, "Kou" followed by another Chinese character, "Bi". The three "Kou" were the appearance of the city, and the "Bi" was the appearance of the port. This city was divided into the residential city, the inner city, and the outer city. The eastern side of the outer city was connected to the port area. The main commercial activities of this city were concentrated on the central axis from the residential city to the port. Several large shops lined up on both sides of the road, and almost all legal goods could be bought in these shops. Among them, located in the easternmost area, almost adjacent to the port, were the exclusive stores of the Sea Clan. And behind the exclusive store in the north, there was a wonderful pink building, which was the only Embassy of the Sea Clan in the world.
Of course, there were also many small and medium-sized shops in Garth City. They were scattered all over the city. The small ones only bought daily groceries, and the big ones were equally powerful. Among them, there were also smugglers and black businesses.
Kalisa Riley, the owner of Garth City, was quite tolerant. Except for some particularly evil businesses, she turned a blind eye to other businesses. Therefore, the smuggling industry here was also quite developed, especially the smuggling of weapons and magic materials, which was even more difficult to stop.
Of course, if Consul Leon really wanted to ban these businesses, he would definitely be able to do it. But he did not mean to crack down on smuggling particularly severely. In his opinion, it was not a problem at all for cargo ships to carry some smuggled goods, or for caravans to secretly transport some goods without paying taxes.
Every time someone suggested him to clean up the smuggling business, he would answer, "The water is too clear to raise fish. As long as it is not serious enough to affect the normal business, then forget it."
After all, for this city, the Sea Clan business, spices, all kinds of handicrafts, and high-quality products were the key to their business. As for other things, they did not mind leaking some of them to those small merchants.
There was also a very special large business in Garth City, which was the purchase of food. It was located on the east side of the Main Plane, not far from the famous Eastern Plain. The Eastern Plain was fertile and developed in agriculture. It was a world-famous granary. Every autumn, when the grain was harvested, Garth City would purchase a large amount of grain, and then transport it to Void City by magic to be stored. This business alone supported the business of at least four or five nearby cities, and it also brought at least 20 small and medium-sized lords the most reliable income in a year.
In the past, every autumn was the time when the merchants lowered the price of rice. The so-called cheap grain hurt the farmers, and the plot of "collecting more than three or five buckets" not only happened on Earth, but also in this world. But Garth City did not do business like this. No matter how abundant the grain was, they would not lower the price. On the contrary, they would purchase the grain at a more reliable and kind price, especially when they directly purchased from the farmers, their price would be slightly higher.
Of course, this was not a normal business practice, but an order from His Majesty Void Mask. His Majesty Void Mask believed that only by letting the civilians earn money could the country really promote prosperity, so he never minded giving benefits to the civilians.
The annual grain purchase won the reputation of Gars City for being kind and generous, and it also made the generous god respected by the farmers of the entire Great Eastern Plains. Nowadays, many farmers' homes worshiped a strange statue, which was a man wearing a robe and carrying a hoe, with a round jellyfish on his shoulder.
This was the God of Agriculture and Void Mask. Although their churches did not fully carry out missionary work in the Eastern Great Plains, the most powerful way to spread faith was to follow the hearts of the people.
