Chapter 163
In order to avoid running aground, the ship did not approach the shallow sea, but stopped in the deep water area outside Bailu Island.
Seven small boats were lowered from the ship, and some people rowed the small boats to approach the beach.
There were seven small boats, and three people on each small boat.
Among the three people, one was dressed gorgeously, and the other two were boatmen.
The seven small boats docked, and seven nobles dressed gorgeously got off the boats, and the boatmen waited on the boats.
The leader was a blond middle-aged man with blue pupils, short height, long hands, short legs, big head, short neck, and broad shoulders.
"My friend, may I ask if Mr. Cheng Yu lives here?" The blond man walked to Cheng Yu's barbecue stall and asked.
"I am, what do you want to see me for?"
Cheng Yu said, he did not know these people, and did not know what they wanted to see him for.
"So you are Cheng Yu, you are really a handsome man. I am Archie Plan, the mayor of Pis Port. I heard that Mr. Cheng Yu occupied Bailu Island, so I came to visit him."
The blond man first praised Cheng Yu and then introduced himself.
"The mayor of Pis Port?"
Cheng Yu looked the blond man up and down.
Pis Port is located in the north of Dark Night City. It is the largest commercial port nearby. The business trade is prosperous and the land in the city is very valuable. Cheng Yu is very jealous of Pis Port.
The blond man named Archie is the mayor of Pis Port. He must be very rich.
This guy came to the door himself. Should we kidnap him and extort a ransom from his family?
"I came to visit Mr. Cheng Yu this time mainly to ask if Mr. Cheng Yu's Bailu Island is for sale?" The blond man smiled.
The volcanic ash soil of Bailu Island is suitable for growing crops. It has both shallows and deep-water ports. The shallows are suitable for tourist areas and the deep-water ports are suitable for trading ports. The geographical location is excellent.
In addition, there are hot springs and streams in the center of the island, with plenty of fresh water.
When Archie saw Bailu Island, it was like Cao Ze seeing a young woman.
But Archie had heard about the defeat of the Invincible Fleet in attacking Bailu Island, and he knew that the young man in front of him was extraordinary.
If you want to occupy Bailu Island by force, you will only get yourself into trouble.
So Archie ran to ask Cheng Yu if he was willing to sell Bailu Island.
"No."
Cheng Yu refused.
From an economic point of view, land is a factor of production, and it is best not to sell it if you can.
In the 19th century, Russia sold Alaska to the United States and lost money.
"You have only more than a thousand people under your command, and you don't have the strength to develop this island. Why don't you sell it to me? I'll offer you one million gold coins."
Archie sent people to investigate Bailu Island and knew that Cheng Yu had built a town called Jinsha Town on the island.
Bailu Island covers an area of more than 10,000 square kilometers, and the utilization of Bailu Island by Cheng Yu's small population is less than one percent.
With such a small population, if Cheng Yu had not possessed strong power, Bailu Island would have been annexed by other lords long ago.
"Don't say anything, I won't sell it no matter how much money you offer."
Cheng Yu refused.
"Okay."
Archie was a little disappointed.
It's a pity that such a good island cannot be taken for himself.
"I don't have anything to treat you, please have a few skewers of grilled fish."
Cheng Yu pointed to the grilled fish on the grill.
"Hey, our Archie City Lord is the richest and most powerful city lord in this area, you just take a few skewers of barbecue to treat Archie City Lord?"
A man in blue clothes said angrily.
When Archie went to other main cities and visited the local city lords, the city lords would host banquets for him.
This guy actually used cheap barbecue to treat Archie, which was too disrespectful to Archie.
"I'm poor here, I only have barbecue, you can eat it if you like." Cheng Yu said indifferently.
"Mr. Cheng Yu invited me to eat barbecue, of course I can't refuse."
Archie knew that Cheng Yu's strength was top-notch in the entire Black Sun Empire, and it was natural to make friends with such a strong man.
"I'll state in advance that I'll treat you to one skewer for free. If you want more, you have to pay for it." Cheng Yu said.
The six people around Archie looked a little disdainful.
What kind of crappy barbecue do you have to buy?
I don't even want to eat it.
Cheng Yu took out a piece of bluefin tuna from the system warehouse and put it on the chopping board next to him.
"Mina, cut the fish into fish fillets and skewer them with bamboo sticks."
"Oh."
Mina picked up a kitchen knife to cut the meat.
There were no stools, so Archie and the other seven people could only stand by and wait.
Mina gave the prepared barbecue skewers to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu put seven skewers of fish fillets on the grill.
As the charcoal fire roasted at high temperature, the fish began to ooze oil, and the fragrance was stimulated by the high temperature.
Then sprinkle the secret barbecue seasoning on it. The aroma of the seasoning and the aroma of the meat will whet your appetite.
Just the smell is so fragrant that you can't help but want to try it.
Ten minutes later, Cheng Yu put the grilledThe barbecue was given to Archie and others, one skewer for each person.
"This... this is so delicious!"
"What a wonderful taste, the most beautiful poem in the world cannot praise its taste."
"What kind of fish is this? It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tender and juicy, and with this seasoning, it is like a perfect work of art."
"There is such a delicacy in the world, which exceeds my understanding of food."
...
Archie and others praised Cheng Yu's barbecue.
[Positive emotion value +15]
[Positive emotion value +12]
[Positive emotion value +11]
...
Seven system prompts sounded, and Cheng Yu received 95 points of positive emotion value.
"Mr. Cheng Yu, are you also a chef?"
Archie asked curiously.
This barbecue is unique in the food world of the Black Sun Empire.
"Cooking is my main job." Cheng Yu smiled.
"How did you make this barbecue? It's much better than the barbecue on the street." Someone asked Cheng Yu.
"Use the third-level monster Overlord Bluefin Tuna as ingredients, add my exclusive secret seasoning, and my control of the heat."
"It's actually the third-level Overlord Bluefin Tuna."
Archie and others were surprised. That thing is a third-level monster with strong combat power.
However, on second thought, it seems not difficult for Cheng Yu to defeat the Invincible Fleet alone and catch the Overlord Bluefin Tuna.
"If you like it, you can come and eat next time, and help me promote it."
Cheng Yu plans to sell barbecue on this beach, which can not only make money, but also gain positive emotions and improve physical strength and defense attributes.
"Can't wait until next time, give me a few more skewers." Someone couldn't help but say.
"Thirty silver coins a string, how many do you want?"
Cheng Yu used to sell barbecue in the Northern Fortress, and he sold it for twenty copper coins a string. This time he raised the price by 150 times.
"Is it so expensive?" The man was surprised.
Ordinary barbecue on the street is only a few copper coins a string.
Thirty silver coins, almost catching up with the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in the Black Sun Empire.
"Overlord bluefin tuna, this price is not expensive." Cheng Yu said.
Overlord bluefin tuna mainly inhabits the deep sea and occasionally moves near the coast. Fishermen rarely encounter it, and even if they encounter it, they cannot catch it. This thing is at least a second-level monster with infinite power.
If you want to eat overlord bluefin tuna, the rich need to spend a lot of money to buy it from the mermaids.
Only the nobles have the opportunity to eat overlord bluefin tuna.
"Well, it's really not expensive."
The seven people knew the preciousness of overlord bluefin tuna and said nothing more.
Archie took out fifteen gold coins and gave them to Cheng Yu, "Grill fifty skewers for us."
"No problem."
Cheng Yu started to grill Archie and others.
"Your barbecue is delicious, I will help you promote it to my friends."
Archie originally planned to buy Bailu Island, but accidentally discovered a mysterious food spot, and he can come here often to eat barbecue in the future.
