Outside a tavern in Rum Town, Claire and Rona were sitting on a dining table. On the table were all the special snacks from this small town.
After a while, a sweet-looking beautiful waitress came over with a smile on her face, holding two glasses of yellow beer.
"Duang!"
"Duang!"
After placing two glasses of beer in front of Claire, he said enthusiastically, "Is it the first time for both of you to come to our Rum Town? This is our specialty beer here. It is very good. After drinking it, you want to have another glass!"
Claire nodded and casually rewarded the other party with one or two Silver Coins. After receiving the Silver Coins, the beautiful waitress had a sweeter smile on her face.
"Then please use it slowly and call me anytime if you need it!"
After the waiter left, Claire picked up the large glass of beer and took a sip. He was not very good at drinking, but he could also taste that the quality of the beer here was much better than the ordinary beer sold in the pub.
After taking a brief sip, Claire put the glass down and looked at the passers-by outside, as if he was looking for someone.
Rona was not interested in beer. He just glanced at the glass of beer, then raised his head and followed Claire's gaze. After a while, he couldn't help but ask, "Where is this place?"
"Rum Town, a small town in the kingdom that produces beer."
Rona held his chin lazily, looking at the golden beer in front of him, and moved the tip of his nose slightly to smell the aroma of wheat on it.
"Then what are we doing here?"
Claire looked away from the pedestrians outside, tapped the glass in front of him with his fingers, and replied, "Looking for someone."
"Didn't I tell you on the way? I plan to replace Gilded Rose Town crops with multiple types of crops, and then manage the factory so that they can make more money."
"I came here because I wanted to open a brewery in Gilded Rose Town. There are talents I want here."
Rum Town's beer industry is not the largest in the kingdom. It can even be said to be very small. There is only one brewery. There are many larger ones in other cities, and even the entire city relies on the beer industry. But after Claire tasted beer from the entire kingdom, he finally set his sights on this small town. The quality of the beer here is very high, and the price is not very expensive. It is particularly popular in the market.
If we could bring the winemaking talents here back to Gilded Rose Town, we would save a lot of traveling.
"Oh." Rona nodded suddenly, and then looked at the pedestrians outside like Claire.
Claire looked at Rona and blinked, and asked in confusion, "Do you know who I am looking for?"
"I don't know?" Rona responded matter-of-factly.
"Then what are you looking at?"
Rona: "..." Yes, what are you looking at following him?
Rona lowered his head naturally, looked at his toes, and shook his head cutely to relieve the embarrassment.
"Here we come!" Claire said suddenly.
Then he stood up, patted Rona on the shoulder, and jumped out from the wooden fence of the tavern. Rona also reacted, stood up, and jumped out with Claire.
"Mr. Cork, please stay!"
Claire led Rona and ran toward a middle-aged man who was slightly slovenly dressed and not in good spirits.
After Kirk heard someone calling him, he stopped and looked around, and finally determined that the sound came from Claire.
But he was still a little confused. He didn't know this person at all, and looking at his clothes, he should be that of a rich man. This kind of person had nothing to do with him.
After Claire and Claire arrived in front of him, Kirk tidied up his messy hair and asked politely, "Master, do you have anything to do with me?"
"You are Mr. Cork, right?" Claire said with a smile.
"Yes." Kirk nodded, still confused.
"I am Claire." Claire introduced himself, "The city lord of Nafu City."
A slight shock flashed in Kirk's eyes. Because of Wendy's reputation, Nafu City's reputation has also spread. At least these ordinary civilians will not have never heard of Nafu City's name like those reclusive mages. Of course, they don't know the deeper things. They have simply heard of the name Nafu City.
"Lord City Lord." Kirk's tone became respectful, "What do you want from me?"
The gap between nobles and commoners was so big that his tone had to become respectful!
"I plan to build a winery in the town below Nafu City, and I would like to invite you to join." Claire still smiled.
Kirk was stunned. He didn't expect it to be something like this, but it makes sense since he only knows how to make wine.
Before he could speak, Claire continued, "I have investigated and found that the reason why your Rum Town beer tastes so good is not because of the raw materials or other aspects of the soil. It is purely because of the craftsmanship of you brewers that improve the quality of the beer."
"You are the head of the union in your brewery, so I hope you can bring these workers to Nafu City."
"Don't worry, I will give you a price higher than your current salary."
Rona on the side clearly saw this Kirk, his eyes flickered a few times, and his expression was also very emotional.
But in the end, after Kirk was silent for a few seconds, he still shook his head and said, "Sorry, Lord City Lord, Nafu City is still too far away for us. We still like to stay in our hometown."
After Kirk finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Claire, "Thank you City Lord for taking a fancy to us, but I'm sorry."
Claire's expression didn't change much, but he still kept smiling, and then nodded, "It's okay, if that's the case, forget it. I hope there will be a chance to cooperate next time."
After Kirk showed a polite smile, he said goodbye to Claire and left the place and walked towards the winery.
As soon as Kirk left, Rona couldn't help but ask, "Claire, why did you let him go?"
Claire couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "What? If I don't let him go, am I going to tie him back?"
Rona suddenly turned red with embarrassment, "No, I mean, didn't you come here specifically to find him? Why did you give up so easily?"
"I just looked at his expression and it was clear that he was very moved. If you just give him a few more words of advice or add some chips, you can lure him away."
Claire looked at Kirk's leaving figure and said softly, "Don't worry, what is mine will be mine."
"What if it's not yours?"
"Then it would be easier to just grab it."
Rona tilted his head, and a series of words appeared on it:????
"Let's go." Claire patted Rona on the shoulder and walked back towards the tavern, "These are all just ordered, don't waste them."
After Rona mumbled something unknown, he followed Claire back to his seat.
After sitting down, Rona still didn't understand the behavior of Claire and Kirk just now. Human society is indeed too complicated.
