The people who were crowded together in the two field areas must be ordinary residents, and the people who occupy the large-scale collection area were probably either professional residents or their family members.
It seems that most of the conflicts between ordinary residents and professional residents of city-states cannot be resolved for a while, but can only be eased.
Zhuang Yun listened to the continuous scolding, and sighed: “There are so many people crowded together, it’s not like squeezing the subway, it’s understandable to make such a noise.”
Crowding the subway was just a matter of everyone crowding together, there was no interesting relationship, and crowding was just crowded in an area.
But this group of people was crowded in the food area, there were too many monks and too little porridge, so it would be strange if they were not noisy.
Lu Jiu shook her head: “There are so many talents divided into two fields, what can you collect, let’s go, just go to the city to see how it is here.”
Although there were problems in this city-state, they have given a solution, even if the solution was not that good.
In this way, the three of them entered the city.
Yuhong City belongs to the second-level city-state, and several cannons were standing on the city wall, which was strange. After all, they didn’t see such things in the Dragon Flood City before.
As for the city-state protective shield and crossbow, there were none, but it was much better than the Dragon Flood City whose walls were bare.
“Fresh Colin mutton~ for only 40 copper coins per catty now!”
“Thick Colin wool, limited-time sale, 32 copper coins per kilogram!”
“Mutton buns just out of the pan, 8 copper coins each, filled with a lot of stuffing and thin skin to increase physical strength, after eating, you will feel warm all over!”
No need to mention it, Yuhong City looked very lively, with all kinds of hawking and shouting one after another.
However, most of them were related to Colin sheep, just like when their city-state was flooded with colorful spiders, they also sold various materials related to colorful spiders.
Along the way, they killed at least about ten batches of Colin sheep. They don’t need wool and sheepskin for the time being, but they were very interested in the food they eat.
Without hesitation, they walked to the steamed stuffed bun stall. There were still several people queuing up, and the three walked to the end of the line very politely.
Lu Jiu was standing in front of her two teammates, and the one in front of her was a couple, who were lying on their sides, not caring about other people’s eyes at all.
The two were bored and whispered in their ears, but Lu Jiu couldn’t help but concentrate on eavesdropping, trying to see if she could hear useful information.
But she heard it.
The voice of the woman among the lovers was vague: “I don’t know what bad idea the city lord heard. He said he only wanted the ordinary people to collect in the grain fields, but he wanted them to hand over all the collected grain, otherwise, he would drive them out of the city.”
The male responded in a low voice: “This is not very good. The more people the more resources can be quickly collected in the grain fields. It’s a pity if the resources will not be all collected and refreshed the next day.”
Before, he and his girlfriend didn’t care about the food, but if they want to survive the winter, the best thing to do was to pile up food until they survive the whole winter.
The woman snorted: “Who knows if those people will hand them in? Now, these ordinary people are not virtuous at all, they don’t sell any food even though they have a lot of them. Are they planning to let it go moldy?”
The more she talked about it, the angrier she became. As if all the ordinary residents had conspired to not sell any food. So far, no one has taken the initiative to sell food.
The man comforted his girlfriend silently: “Your parents saved a lot, and so did my parents, don’t worry.”
The woman seemed to have just remembered that her family members were also ordinary people. She looked a little embarrassed, but it quickly disappeared.
But she just doesn’t like ordinary people who were familiar with her: “If the beast tide comes, there will be some bright spots after that, we must find a way to get a professional card…”
Lu Jiu couldn’t hear the words clearly after that. The people on the front line seemed to be together. After buying, they walked away, and the couple stopped chatting and moved on.
Afterward, the voice became quieter, and Lu Jiu didn’t bother to concentrate on listening.
After listening to gossip, she turned around and whispered to her two teammates: “It seems that many professional residents of the city-state have great opinions on ordinary residents, and this place is no exception.”
Although ordinary residents account for a large number, they were still at a disadvantage. They have no other way, they cannot kill wild monsters to obtain good resources, let alone fight the residents who have started their careers.
Shen Jufeng said: “This is not unusual.” He looked up and saw that the team had moved forward again, and reminded: “We are almost here, let’s go forward.”
Lu Jiu turned her head to catch up with the queue, and Zhuang Yun was once again thankful that he stayed in Xuantian City, where ordinary residents can live well.
Afterward, the sales were very fast. The couple in front of Lu Jiu held the buns and were still discussing food collection. Lu Jiu also got the mutton buns she wanted to eat.
The mutton buns were indeed as the store said, except that the stuffing was thick, and the skin was thin, and it was also big. It was hot and the taste was fresh after one bite. It makes Lu Jiu feel a little embarrassed to eat, but it was delicious.
Even though 8 copper coins were a little expensive, she felt it was worth it after tasting them.
At this moment, there were many people on the streets of the city-state, and the three outsiders were not conspicuous.

Zhuang Yun was not yet a permanent resident of Xuantian City, so he has no way to live in a guest house in Yuhong City this time.
The three of them came to the restaurant here. At this time, there was no one in the restaurant. Lu Jiu glanced at the menu, thinking that no one was there, and there were not many decent dishes.
Could it be that the city lord of Yuhong City was so picky, that the meat he got from wild hunting was reluctant to give it to restaurants?
Lu Jiu turned over the menu on the sheet of paper: “Just order a few, I think this NPC is also a low-level talent, so we should find someone to talk about.”
Zhuang Yun nodded: “Well, I’m not hungry at all, just order one.” He was also worried that the food here would not taste good, and that it would be a waste if he couldn’t finish it.
Shen Jufeng said: “Me too.”
Lu Jiu ordered a dish, and the NPC in the store collected the money with a blank expression and then brought the dish after a while, which was simple fried pork with shredded potatoes.
The three of them ate the food without chopsticks.
Lu Jiu was a little confused while eating: “What did we mainly inquire about this time? It seems to be just the conflict between ordinary residents and professional residents.”
Their original intention here was to look outside before winter.
Zhuang Yun shrugged indifferently, “I don’t know, anyway, it’s right to come out to fight in the wild.” He just hangs out with the big guys.
Shen Jufeng put down his chopsticks: “Just take it as taking a tour, it’s just my former habit, always trying to figure out current affairs.”
He managed such a big company before the doomsday, so he must understand all aspects of society.
Of course, he needs to know more at this time. After all, he was managing the Xuantian City. At this moment, he felt like he could attract the residents of Jinghe District to Xuantian City to expand the population.
It was just, this can’t be said in front of Zhuang Yun for the time being.
Zhuang Yun knew Shen Jufeng’s identity before Doomsday: “Actually, I’m also quite curious about how bad the conflict here is.”
Thinking of those people who were crowded in a limited area outside the city and arguing, whether they were men or women, they all have a heart to gossip.
Lu Jiu bit her chopsticks, and after a little thought, she said: “It’s not a just class conflict. It’s similar to the conflict between the rich and the poor before the doomsday, but it’s more cruel now. Unless you start a career, there is no way to turn around.”
Even if people have a high-level weapon, if their attributes were not good, and their physical fitness has no job enhancement, they can’t fight high-level wild monsters.
