Cosma Empire

The atmosphere in the cold room seemed cold, but in fact it was quite the opposite. Those who came prepared were confident and calm, but those who were not prepared were worried and anxious.

Karur has been winking at Ernst, and it is obvious that the current situation is a little bit different from what he imagined.

In an atmosphere of silence, the waiter came over with a steak, placed it in front of Du Lin, and placed a knife and fork for him—two sets in total, because there was a small piece of meat on the plate besides the steak. Accompaniment.

The topic of how to use tableware can be extended to a thick academic book. The strict requirements of the nobles for the details of life make their daily life a torment in the eyes of ordinary people. This is indeed the case when you think about it. It takes about two hours just to dress up every day. If you want to participate in some grand banquets, this time may be longer. How can it be as refreshing as the ordinary life that ordinary people bear?

But in the eyes of the nobles, the standardization of speech and behavior is the most effective way to distinguish "nobility" from "untouchables" in this new era. For the set of rules they made up, they abide by it more and more strictly, it seems that through this method, they can get the pleasure of being superior to others. Especially when they looked at those untouchables with a sympathetic smile and gobbled up their food and wiped their mouths, they would show a helpless expression to the people around them.

Look, here's the untouchables!

Although there are many things in the rules of the aristocrats that have no value, people like to follow them, because everyone wants to be an elite member of the upper class, which is a class and circle full of certain temptations. Makes all the self-proclaimed successful people want to dive in.

People are always mocking or denigrating certain mainstream things, such as power, such as money, such as class. But everyone is envious of those who have these things at the same time. This is a very contradictory psychological activity. In another world, people call this kind of psychology "hating the rich". It's not just the rich who hate the rich, but also many other things that they don't have.

This is a high-end restaurant, and it is natural that people with status are served. Du Lin didn't know this, so he chose tableware that was relatively more comfortable and one size larger to eat. He roughly cut these steaks, and inserted a piece of beef that was obviously larger than the fork into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed it, and nodded in satisfaction.

The taste was much better than all the steaks he had eaten. He had never tasted such a good taste. When he turned his head to look at the waiter, he paused for a moment, and then asked: "This steak comes from Where?"

The waiter had a very standard smile on his face, showing eight teeth. The clean and tidy teeth glowed faintly under the light, "This is Wagli cattle, which are only produced in a very small number of pastures in the empire." , the price is very expensive, you need sixty-eight yuan for this one, sir."

Du Lin blew a whistle, sixty-eight yuan, how many bottles of wine must be sold to earn a meal for one person? Undoubtedly, with the red wine on the table and the food in front of the two big shots, the price of this meal definitely exceeded his imagination. You must know that he has gnawed on bread that is harder than a stone. He must sprinkle a little water and put it next to the fire to heat it before he can barely gnaw a layer.

It was too extravagant, he sighed, and continued to eat the chunks of beef with uneven edges.

"Don't you two have anything to say?" Du Lin asked while chewing, and meat crumbs and soup burst out of his mouth.

Karul looked at Du Lin indifferently, but Ernst spoke first. He frowned and observed Du Lin for a while before hesitantly asked: "You were the... A dollar?", this sentence carries obvious inquiries, because Ernst met Dühring himself for the first time,

At the same time, I also remembered the kid that day, who helped him deliver some things to other people, and paid a dollar for it.

Du Lin also paid attention to Ernst at this time, and then nodded happily, "I remember, since we are acquaintances, it will be easier to explain the next thing clearly.", Du Lin put the last steak After swallowing it quickly, he wiped his mouth and leaned back, "Wood is dead, but someone has to take his place. I know there are some rules and agreements between you and others."

"I intend to abide by this agreement!"

Du Lin already had an overall idea before he came here. The rules of the game made 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 food for rats, then He must learn to join the game as a "player". The establishment of the rules is not to allow it to be broken by someone or something one day. As long as During does not show his thoughts in this regard, then at least in a short period of time he is safe.

And people also need a relatively stable order, whether it is about security or the market.

Ernst picked up the napkin and touched his lips, folded it and placed it on the corner of the table on the left. He tilted his head slightly, showing a very serious expression. The indifference on Karur's face eased a little, which is good news. If Du Lin is willing to follow the rules of the game, then he must make concessions.

When both of them focused their attention on Du Lin, Du Lin said slowly: "The market is limited, Tenell is a big city in my eyes, but I believe that in the eyes of the two of you, this is a big city. This city is nothing, because there are many cities that are more prosperous and richer than Nell, and compared to those places, this is just a slum. I understand that the rules made by those bosses have only one core, and that is competition."

"They need us to have competition with each other, a competition that can be controlled, and I will follow the rules of the game, but beyond that, I think we can use another way to try not to destroy it, but have have a certain 'transcendence' quality."

"We continue to compete for this small market in Tenell City, let me use the word 'small', but we should focus on places outside Tenell City, such as Al Odo or other places. What a big city, that is our main battlefield."

Ernst gradually raised his hand to rest his chin, staring at Du Lin, who was very interested in Du Lin's proposal.

No one is indifferent to more money!

"Give your opinion!"
