The relocation process for the outsiders in Hope Village was still ongoing.
After becoming residents of Hope Village, everything seemed to go much smoother.
Unlike the leisurely pace of the residents, the merchant teams that came to Hope Village had clearly more tasks.
Cao Jingshan and Li Xingteng were hosting several leaders of the merchant teams in a restaurant.
"Braised pork."
"Stew with assorted marinated dishes."
"Salt-baked chicken wings."
"Stir-fried tofu crumble."
"Minced pork steamed egg."
"Sautéed shredded potatoes."
"Candied sweet potatoes."
"..."
"Another dozen beers, just these for now, serve them first."
Li Xingteng said to the waitress in the restaurant.
This was a newly opened restaurant, the owner himself a chef, walking a mid to high-end path in Hope Village, the décor leaning towards private booths, aiming at group meals for those in the territory.
