    "Sir, what are you doing here taking out these um, feces?"

    Lukes was very curious about the old man getting rid of these dirty feces.  Finally he couldn't help but came over and asked.

    The old man raised his head and glanced at Lukes and his deputy, but he did not stop moving his hands. He was taking the feces out of the cesspit one by one, and then poured it into the carriage's large wine.  Barrel' inside.

    "Are you new here?"

    The old man asked a question first, and Lux ??and his deputy nodded.

    "Yes, we have just arrived in Manhattan. We plan to buy some goods from here and sell them back."

    The old man chuckled: "The products here in Manhattan are very popular, and you guys are very discerning. If I were younger, I would also find a ship to be a sailor, but now I am too old, so  I still prefer a more stable life.¡±

    This old man seems to be very satisfied with his current life.

    "My job is to collect these feces and send them to a large place nearby. I heard that the nobles here want to use these feces for something, but I don't understand."

    The old man kept working, but he started chatting with Lux.

    What is the use of collecting feces? It is of no use at all.

    Lukes couldn¡¯t figure out what use these dirty things could have.

    "There are many people like me in Manhattan. We are all older people. We can't do dock work, and we can't be soldiers. We don't have the capital to do business, and we don't have the skills.", the old man  He was very talkative. He had nothing to do anyway, so he started talking.

    "Fortunately, the gentlemen in Manhattan took pity on us and didn't want us to starve and freeze to death this winter, so they arranged a job for us. Although it's a bit dirty, it's not tiring at all, and the income is pretty good."

    Talking about this matter, the smile on the old man's face became even stronger, and at the same time, his eyes also glowed with longing for a happy life and confidence.

    Logically speaking, at his age, people on the European continent would basically be waiting to die.

    It is simply impossible to see such information feedback on his face and eyes.

    What kind of magic does this city of Manhattan have that can actually make people become like this?

    However, Lukes knew that this change was good for the people.

    Who doesn¡¯t hope that they can live a better and happier life? In the past, everyone just couldn¡¯t see hope.

    But in Manhattan, no matter who you are, as long as you are willing to work hard and endure hardship, then achieving a happy and prosperous life is not a luxury.

    It¡¯s just that Lukes didn¡¯t know anything about it.

    During the chat, the old man had already filled the 'wine barrel' on the back of his carriage. He smiled apologetically at Lukes and his deputy: "I'm sorry, I have to leave now. I hope everything goes well for you and you can make money.  Get the wealth that belongs to you, as long as you work hard here in Manhattan, everything can be achieved."

    Then, the old man drove the carriage and left here.

    Lukes gained a lot of information from the conversation with the old man. First of all, Manhattan has invested heavily in the management of sanitation and has a very complete plan.

    People in Manhattan will have people collecting and hoarding the feces excreted by people, although they don¡¯t know what they are used for.

    At the same time, in Manhattan, many underground sewage treatment systems have been excavated specifically for sewage discharge.

    This system is not available in Europe, I have never even heard of it.

    Those sewage can directly pass through the underground sewage system and flow into the sea not far away.  In this way, residents living here do not have to dump sewage directly into the streets.

    At the same time, feces collectors like this old man will go from house to house every morning to collect their feces at night, because every household here has an iron thing called a 'spittoon'.

    This kind of ¡®spittoon¡¯ is specially designed for everyone¡¯s convenience, especially at night.

    I have to say that many things here in Manhattan are very thoughtful.

    Lukes took his deputy and turned around and left the toilet.

    ??You can see the big direction from the small area. Manhattan is definitely not the kind of aboriginal people it thinks it is. On the contrary, their civilized system is much higher than that of Europe.

    At the very least, from the cleanliness of the streets and the way people dress,It can be seen in the restraint and mental outlook.  Therefore, Lukes' desire to attack Manhattan Harbor and plunder wealth gradually faded away.

    Of course, the main reason that made his mind dim were the twos and threes of genetic soldiers on the street.  He and his deputy had been walking around for so long and had already seen a lot of soldiers.

    It can be seen that Manhattan¡¯s military power is very strong, and it is somewhat unrealistic for them to plunder the Manhattan Port.

    And before entering Manhattan Harbor, the coastal defense forts along the coast can hit them and put Manhattan Harbor on alert.

    At the same time, Lukes weighed it up. He personally did not think that pirates like them could defeat these elite Manhattan soldiers.

    Lukes has a very poisonous vision. He saw the power of the Manhattan genetic soldiers, so he put away some unnecessary thoughts.

    It¡¯s just that he didn¡¯t know that after putting away this thought, he himself had escaped the gaze of death.

    "Captain, I'm a little hungry. Let's go get something to eat. I saw there are many kinds of food here." The deputy suggested to Lukes at this time. At the same time, the deputy's belly kept hearing  'Gululu' sound.

    hehe

    Lukes smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go see what's delicious."

    After giving up the idea of ??attacking Manhattan Harbor, Lukes felt relieved.  Anyway, there are still a lot of fat sheep and we can't attack Manhattan Harbor, so we can just plunder other merchant ships.

    ¡°Anyway, you can do business without capital, and you don¡¯t necessarily have to attack the port.

    The two of them returned to the bustling market, and after some selection, they came to a ramen shop and sat down.

    The reason is simple. The aroma wafting from the ramen shop is so attractive.

    After Lukes and his deputy smelled the smell, they followed the aroma of beef bone soup.

    Of course, there are also many shops around, each with its own fragrance.  But by the smell of barbecue, Lukes and his second-in-command were clearly not interested in meat now.

    "Excuse me, what is this?"

    After Lukes and the deputy sat down, they looked at the young boss who was making noodles with some curiosity and asked.

    Not very authentic English, after all Lukes is Dutch.

    But the young boss understood it for a moment, and then he replied: "Ramen."

    These genetic people with perfect personalities cultivated by Zhao Hongyu have been living in this world for more than a year.  Therefore, they also learned a lot of Indian language and necessary English.

    Although it¡¯s just some normal conversation, it¡¯s pretty good, isn¡¯t it?

    Hand-Pulled Noodle?

    Lukes and the deputy looked at each other. Neither of them knew what it was because they had never eaten it.

    But looking at a fat blond man next to him, he was eating ¡®Xilihulu¡¯, which seemed to be delicious, so Lux thought he might as well give it a try.

    "Then, please give me two copies according to this gentleman's style."

    The young boss smiled and nodded.

    Then, he began to stretch his face in front of Lux, showing off his skills that stunned Lux.

    Not only Lukes, but also the European and Indian diners next to him would look up from time to time or look directly at the boss making noodles.

    In their opinion, this boss is simply amazing.

    This kind of soft flour can actually do this in his hands.

    ¡°They can¡¯t do it themselves anyway.

    An Indian girl who looked to be only twelve years old smiled and placed a kettle in front of Lukes and the deputy, and then put down two teacups.

    Then she told them in very bad English that the tea could be drunk for free.

    This kind of tea is not good tea, it is basically just tea leaves.

    But the way of doing business is very shocking to many people.

    ??Especially for European guys.

    What is tea!

    That is an absolutely profitable product. Even tea powder can be sold for money, right?

    But here in Manhattan, the owner of this noodle shop actually uses it to entertain customers for free. This is simplyadd some boiling water to me

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The fat man sitting next to Lukes picked up the bowl and drank all the ramen soup, then put the empty bowl away.He raised his hand from the countertop and wiped it on his forehead.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? I¡¯m sweating after eating, which shows that this guy is very comfortable eating.

    "Boss, your craftsmanship is getting better and better. I am completely captured by you now. I can't sleep without eating a bowl every day." The fat man did not leave after eating. Instead, he sat here and started talking to the young man.  The boss started chatting.

    The boss didn¡¯t mean to chase people away, but responded happily to the fat man.

    "Haha, this is nothing. When the adults plant peppers and other crops next year, I will have more ingredients here, and it will be even more delicious."

    The young man¡¯s face showed strong self-confidence, which showed that he was very confident in his craftsmanship.

    "Oh, can it be more delicious? I really can't think of it." The fat man looked a little unconvinced. He couldn't believe what the young boss said, because in his opinion, this kind of ramen was already very delicious.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know next year.¡± The young man didn¡¯t say much.

    "Captain, this kind of noodles is very luxurious. I saw many kinds of spices. I counted more than a dozen." While Lukes was listening to the two chatting, his deputy swallowed his saliva.  Finally, she whispered to him.  (To be continued.
