Chapter 31: y
"It's okay if you can't say it." Seeing Niu Wu's hesitation, Spencer realized that he asked too many questions.
"No, I don't know what kind of woman the young master likes." Niu Wu smiled wryly, and now he also realized that thinking of Spencer's daughter, Miss Sheeran, did he like the young master?
He knew that Spencer had only one daughter, if he married his daughter to the young master, wouldn't Blackwater City become the young master's city?Could it be that Heishui City will be the young master's second city-state?
"That's it." Spencer nodded. He planned to let Xilan go to Saba City to learn how to be a city lord with Liu Feng in the spring of next year. It would be even better if he could become the other party's wife.
He hopes that his daughter will be happy instead of bearing the heavy burden of Heishui City. If he can become Liu Feng's wife, then Heishui City can become a vassal of Saba City.
"I'll go check the goods." Niu Wu hurriedly found an excuse to walk away, he didn't want to get involved in the young master's emotional life.
He glanced at more than a dozen ice sledges, stepping up to check from time to time to prevent the cargo from falling out.In addition to the goods, they also brought wheat, which is the food for them.
After walking for another half an hour, the time came to : noon. They started to set off at dawn in the morning, and they had been walking for six hours.
"Everyone stop, rest on the spot, and get ready for lunch." Niu Wu raised his voice and shouted.
"Yes!" The veteran shouted immediately, this time Niu Wu brought the veterans of the ten-man team.
Veterans have rich experience in survival and know what to do when resting. Add firewood to the stove and start cooking wheat porridge, and add some dried meat to cook meat porridge.
"Great, I can rest now." The civilians of Heishui City shouted happily, spreading the animal skins on the ice surface and sitting on them as blankets.
All of them stared straight at the veteran who was busy, focusing more on the porridge that was cooking, and swallowed their saliva from time to time. They were quite hungry now.
Half an hour later, the porridge was ready, and the citizens of Heishui City consciously queued up to receive the porridge. This scene has been going on for two days, and today is the third day since they left Heishui City.
"City Master Spencer, can we reach the Beastkin tribe before dark this afternoon?" Niu Wu held a bowl of porridge in each hand and handed a bowl to Spencer.
"Yes, no problem at all." Spencer took the porridge with both hands, and said affirmatively, "Before the sun goes down, we can reach the Beastkin tribe."
"That's good, there may be a snowstorm today, I hope I can make it in time." Niu Wu looked at the tumbling clouds in the distant sky.
"Blizzard?" Spencer was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky, his expression turned ugly, and he said seriously, "Hurry up and finish eating and go on the road, before the blizzard comes, reach the Beastkin tribe."
If you encounter a blizzard in the open field without certain survival skills, you will be frozen to death in the field in all likelihood.
"Well, it's really necessary to catch up." Niu Wu nodded seriously, turned his head and shouted to the resting people, "Hurry up and finish eating and go on the road, a snowstorm is coming."
"Yes." The veterans responded in unison.
"Ah? Is a blizzard coming?" The civilians of Heishui City were stunned for a moment, and then began to eat porridge in panic.
"It's so hot... put some snow in it, it will get cold so fast." Someone shouted out an idea.
"Eat quickly, I don't want to freeze to death."
In the case of you urging me, the lunch was quickly settled, and the team started to set off immediately, walking at a faster speed.
It was after four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was dark, and a strong wind began to blow, and the snowflakes were swept down by the wind, making everyone shivering.
"Everyone work hard, the Beastkin tribe is coming soon." Niu Wu yelled to cheer everyone up.
"Yes." The old soldier was still so concise and powerful.
As for the civilians in Heishui City, they had no energy to respond, and they all lowered their heads and hurried on, only showing a pair of eyes.
It took two hours to walk, and many people were a little numb from the cold, and several people fainted, and were carried on the ice sledge and squeezed together with the cargo.
"Hasn't it arrived yet? If this continues, everyone will freeze to death." Niu Wu muffled.
"It's here, it's coming." Spencer straightened his neck and subconsciously responded, "Persist a little longer, we'll be there soon."
"..." Niu Wu rolled his eyes. He had heard these words more than 30 times, but he didn't see any sign of the Beastkin tribe.
"It's here, it's really here." Spencer shouted excitedly, pointing to the blurred house in the distance.
"Really?" Niu Wu narrowed his eyes and looked intently. There was indeed a building similar to a house. He turned his head and shouted to the veteran, "Investigate ahead."
"Yes." The veteran immediately rushed out with Tang Dao in hand, and touched the one in front.
After 10 minutes, the veterans immediately came back to report, "My lord, there is indeed a tribe of Beastkin ahead."
"Let's get everyone ready, we're going to visit the Beastkin tribe." Niu Wu said seriously.
"Yes." The veterans immediately went down to prepare the military crossbow, which was their life-saving weapon and used to break out of the encirclement.
Chapter 0450 bitter lion ear mother.
"Hoo hoo...
Crackling..."
Elsa sat dejectedly in the tent, looking up at the animal skin window, the snowflakes were blown by the strong wind and made dense noises.
"Blizzard? Should I thank you? I still want to hate you!" Elsa sighed, propping her chin with one hand, in a daze, listening to the "percussion music" from the sheepskin tent with lion ears.
She is in a very depressed mood now, and what happened today can't make her happy. She has the urge to kill someone, because her stupid subordinates caused two tents full of pasture to catch fire.
Moreover, the fire was very strong, and the flames were blown by the wind, and it happened to be snowing, so they suppressed the flames and gave them time to extinguish the flames with snow.The end result was that the pastures of the two tents were burnt to nothing, leaving only a puddle of water and scorched soil.
What does pasture represent?That is the ration for sheep and horses. Without pasture, it means that sheep and horses will starve to death.Originally, there was not much pasture, and such a thing happened, and those Beastkin who made mistakes had already been ordered to be beheaded by her.
"Your Highness, you can have dinner." The maid came over with a tray and said worriedly, "You haven't eaten all day."
"Oh...let it go." Elsa sighed, how could she have the appetite to eat after such a thing happened.
"Your Highness, what happened today is not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourself." The maid comforted.
"The grass for the two tents is gone. How long can the remaining grass last?" Elsa glanced at the food on the tray and asked. It was boiled mutton again. I'm afraid there is very little salt this time.
"More than 1000 sheep will not make it to the beginning of spring." The maid lowered her head and said.
"A thousand sheep." Elsa was stunned, and put down the knife she had just picked up. Originally, the consumption of mutton was estimated, and the pasture preparations were similar.
The extra sheep could have been kept until the beginning of spring, but now there is not enough pasture to survive the winter. Such a loss is too great.
"Your Highness, why don't you let everyone kill these more than 1000 sheep and store them." The maid suggested.
"Order to kill the sheep tomorrow, and treat it as an extra meal for everyone." Elsa said helplessly.
"Yes." The maid replied respectfully.
"Is there any frozen vegetables?" Elsa looked at the mutton on the plate, and if she ate any more, she would feel the smell of sheep on her body.
"There is still one meal left." The maid whispered.
"The last meal?" Elsa blinked her golden eyes.
"Yes, there is only one frozen vegetable left." The maid did not dare to look at the princess' pitiful eyes.
"Take, take half... No, take a third." Elsa said emotionally, the lion's ears fell down, and the lion's tail drooped listlessly.
"Okay." The maid hurriedly walked outside. She felt that Her Highness the Princess was too pitiful. She had to eat a frozen vegetable three times, and she probably didn't even have a bite.
"Tsk tsk..."
Elsa cut off a piece of mutton with a knife, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it, carefully feeling the salty taste in the mutton, well, there is no salty taste at all.
"Ta Tata..."
The maid had snowflakes on her head, and she held a wooden bowl in her hand, which contained small pieces of frozen vegetables, that is, wild vegetables.
"Your Highness, would you like me to send someone to dig some grass roots out of the snow?" The maid put down the frozen vegetables and asked in a low voice, "Some grass roots are also delicious."
"No, no need." Elsa shook her head, resisting the desire in her heart, stretched out her hand to pinch a small piece of frozen vegetable and stuffed it into her mouth, then cut off a large piece of mutton and stuffed it into her mouth, and began to chew on the frozen vegetable.
The maid looked at Her Royal Highness's expression of squinting and enjoying, and her eyes turned red. The big princess, who used to have no worries about food and clothing, was now happy because of a small slice of frozen vegetables.
"Is there no salt in our tribe?" Elsa asked while chewing, flicking her lion's tail.
"Yes, there is only a little left in our kitchen." The maid answered in a low voice.
"What's everyone's reaction?" Elsa opened her eyes and asked, her back straightened, which instantly made the maid feel pressured.
"Not much reaction, just complaining about the lack of taste of the meat." The maid replied immediately.
"There is no trouble, right?" Elsa raised her eyebrows and asked. She knew the consequences of not having salt. Maybe there would be no big troubles, but there must be a lot of small troubles.
"A few of them got into a fight." The maid said softly.
"Really? Next time something like this happens again, lock them up, starve him for three days and then release him..." Elsa said indifferently, some of them ate and made trouble, she will not be soft-hearted, compared to still in the human race country My compatriots who fled and starved, they are already living a good life.
"Yes." The maid said seriously.
"If you use weapons, drive them out of the tribe and let them rely on themselves." Elsa said coldly. She is not a soft-hearted person, otherwise she would not be able to suppress the tribe of Beastkin.
"Understood." The maid bowed her head and replied.
"Is there no human caravan coming over now?" Elsa asked while cutting the mutton, cutting one knife after another.
"Yes, the caravans are bypassing this area." The maid pursed her lips and said helplessly, "Those caravans have heard someone speak ill of us and think we will rob them."
"Rooting?" Elsa frowned, and her golden eyes looked at the knife in her hand. She was not a pedantic person, so she went to rob if she couldn't.
"Ta Tata..."
Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the tent, causing Elsa's golden eyes to condense slightly. Could it be that the subordinates have made some mess again?
"His Royal Highness, there is a human caravan outside the tribe seeking to see us, and the leader is the Lord of Blackwater who had a deal with us before." The Beastkin knight shouted from outside the tent.
"What? Human race caravan?" Elsa's golden eyes widened. She just read about human race caravan, but now a human race caravan is coming?
"Yes, it's a big caravan with more than 100 people." The Beastkin knight reported.
"Master Spencer of Blackwater City?" Elsa frowned. She had an impression of this person. He was one of the few human races who traded with her tribe, but the number was too small. Compared with the base of the entire tribe, it was so small that it could be ignored.
Now she is bringing a large caravan. Could it be that she is here to introduce business? She quickly shouted to the knight outside the door, "Take them to the living room."
"Yes." The knight replied respectfully, turned around and trotted away.
"Get ready, I'm going to meet them." Elsa stood up, preparing to pretend that she could not reveal her identity as the Beastkin princess.
"Yes." The maid answered quickly.
Chapter 0451 Negotiations.
Outside the Beastkin tribe, Niu Wu and Spencer looked at the Beastkin knights guarding in front of them, waiting in the snowstorm for the Beastkin knights who went in to report.
The sharp-eyed Niu Wu carefully observed the equipment of the Beastkin knights, the armor, swords and spears on their bodies, and quickly noticed something strange.
He found that many of the armor of the Beastkin knights were rusty, and most of them were wearing leather armor. You must know that the equipment of the gatekeeper knights should be the best batch. He guessed that the living standard of the Beastkin tribe in front of him should not be very good.
This kind of discovery gave Niu Wu more confidence in the negotiation. As long as the other party's life is poor, it means that the temptation of the goods he brought is big enough, and it is easier to complete what the young master told him.
"Ta Tata..."
There was the sound of hurried footsteps, and the Beastkin knight who was reporting ran over quickly, came to the gate, and said politely to Niu Wu and Binser, "Please send the caravan to the living room."
"Okay." Spencer nodded, met Niu Wu's eyes, and followed the Beastkin knights. Behind them were five veterans in full armor, and the others stayed behind to guard the goods.
"Ta Tata..."
Soon, Niu Wu and Spencer followed the Beastkin knights to the living room. The Beastkin tribe's living room is a huge sheepskin tent. It is usually the place where Elsa convenes the Beastkin knights to discuss. It can also be regarded as the tribe's meeting hall.
There was a row of chairs in the living room. Niu Wu found the chair and sat down. He turned his head and glanced at the door of the living room, and found that there were more than a dozen Beastkin knights on guard. This Beastkin tribe was very vigilant.
"Ta Tata..."
After a short while, footsteps sounded outside the living room, and a man in full armor walked in with a maid, well, except for his eyes, other features were invisible, wrapped in a long animal skin robe, his face The top is covered with sackcloth, and the head is covered with a helmet.
On the other hand, the maid next to him, Niu Wu, recognized him as a goat Beastkin, but he didn't have any other information, not even knowing whether he was a man or a woman.
"I've met the leader." Spencer immediately got up and saluted as a nobleman, and Niu Wu also stood up and saluted. The Beastkin tribe with tens of thousands of people couldn't tolerate him being careless, even though it was the first time he met the leader of the Beastkin tribe.
"Sit down." Elsa waved her hand indifferently, her golden eyes scanned the people in front of her, and paused on several well-equipped human knights.
Niu Wu and Spencer looked at each other, and they both saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. They didn't expect that the leader of this Beastkin tribe was actually a woman.
"Chief, I'm Spencer who has done business with your tribe before." Spencer introduced immediately.
"Well, may I ask your Excellency Spencer to buy sheep this time? Or a draft horse?" Elsa asked straight to the point. She didn't want to be too polite with the human race, otherwise she would talk about it for a long time.
"This..." Spencer was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded, "Boss, it's not that I'm here to buy sheep and horses, but Mr. Niu Wu who is next to me wants to buy sheep. I'm just an introducer."
"Oh?" Elsa raised her eyebrows and looked at Niu Wu with her golden eyes. There was nothing special about that ordinary face, and she said lightly, "Where does Mr. Niu Wu come from?"
"Saba City." Niu Wu replied calmly.
"Saba City?" Elsa frowned, turned her head to look at the maid, and got a shake of her head, indicating that she had never heard of this city.
"Boss, Saba City is a city in the west, and the owner of the city is His Excellency Liu Feng, a very talented baron." Spencer quickly introduced, and in a few words, he revealed the general situation of Saba City.
"Oh, I see." Elsa nodded flatly, suddenly lost interest.
How many sheep can a little baron in a remote place buy?I'm afraid I won't buy two hundred of them.As for the talent of speaking, it seems that the human race likes to praise people exaggeratedly.
"Boss, Your Excellency Liu Feng also wrote you a letter." Spencer took out the letter from his pocket, handed it to the Beastkin knight standing aside, and he handed it over.
"Oh, write me a letter." Elsa was surprised, looking at the letter the maid was opening.The maid opened it and handed it to her without danger. She took the letter and looked at it.
The general content of the letter is Liu Feng's words and deeds of goodwill, and also mentioned that he hopes to cooperate and buy a large number of sheep and draft horses from her.
Elsa read the letter quietly, put it aside casually, and asked her to comment on the letter. It can only be said to be boring and hypocritical. She knows the human race very well, and she can speak beautiful words, but her actual action is not satisfactory. .
"I read the letter, Mr. Niu Wu, what is the quantity of sheep and draft horses that your baron mentioned?" Elsa asked indifferently.
"Two thousand sheep." Niu Wu said seriously, knowing that the real negotiation had begun.
"Two thousand sheep, uh...huh???" Elsa said it silently, and then she came to her senses, widening her golden eyes, and asked in astonishment, "You mean two thousand sheep?"
"Yes, two thousand sheep." Niu Wu nodded affirmatively, and said calmly, "Two thousand sheep a month."
"What?" Elsa opened her mouth wide, looked at Niu Wu in disbelief, and asked in a shy voice, "Two thousand sheep a month?"
Is this a lot?For the tens of thousands of sheep in the Beastkin tribe, it must not be many, but it is the largest transaction volume of the Elsa tribe.
"Yes." Niu Wuying said, these 1 sheep are regarded as a tentative transaction, and the number of sheep purchased, compared with the population of more than in Saba City, is definitely not enough to last for a month.
"What about the price?" Elsa asked, if it was too low, it would be a waste of joy.
"Fourteen copper coins for a catty of mutton." Niu Wu quoted the price, which was about % lower than the market price.
"Fourteen copper coins!" Elsa closed her eyes and thought about it. This price is similar to that sold by other tribes.
What she was curious about was that this human race did not lower the price. Last time, a human race caravan came to discuss the business of buying sheep, and they lowered the price to ten copper coins per catty of lamb.
Is it really the same as what was said in the letter, is this nobleman named Liu Feng not discriminating against Beastkin?Or is there another plan?
"Boss, what do you think of this price?" Niu Wu raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Okay, just the price of fourteen copper coins." Elsa said in a deep voice. She thought about it, and if the other party had any premeditation, it would be to pay the coins for the goods before allowing the sheep to leave.
Chapter 0452 Negotiation.
"Boss, please start killing the sheep tomorrow." Niu Wu sat up straight, and when he talked about it, the sheep business was concluded.
"Kill the sheep? Didn't you just take the whole sheep away?" Elsa was stunned, looking at Niu Wu inexplicably.
Other human race merchants transported the whole sheep away, and would not leave a hair in their tribe.
"No, there is no way to take away the whole sheep for the time being, only the meat." Niu Wu shook his head, their ships couldn't come over, so they had to kill the sheep to transport the meat.
"The viscera and sheepskin of the slaughtered sheep? What are you going to do with it?" Elsa asked. It is better to discuss the details clearly so as not to be caught by the human race.
"The viscera will be left to your tribe, and it will be used as the slaughtering fee. Please help store the sheepskin. Next year we will send a big ship to buy the sheep, and then transport them away together." Niu Wu said seriously.
Offal has a strong fishy smell, but it is a good thing for civilians who can't afford meat, but Niu Wu and the others are struggling to transport meat, let alone offal.
Moreover, it is very difficult for live sheep to be transported to Saba City alive. It is difficult for them to forage alone. Do they need to buy more forage?That would increase the cost too much, and it would be very troublesome to slaughter the froze-to-death sheep. Generally speaking, it is the most affordable to slaughter on-site and take the meat away.
"Oh? Will you come to buy sheep next year?" Elsa's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and it sounded like she was still coming by boat, which was good news.
"Yes, the young master has said that if the first cooperation is happy, we will continue to cooperate with your tribe, and next time we will buy more than sheep." Niu Wu said seriously.
"The first cooperation will definitely be very pleasant." Elsa immediately said, if they can find a long-term buying caravan, they don't have to worry about the sheep they raise can't be sold.
"Of course, the next purchase quantity, etc., please ask the leader to talk to our young master in person. I can't make up my mind about this." Niu Wu took the opportunity to throw out the topic that the young master explained.
He knew that the young master wanted to talk to the leader of the Beastkin tribe in person, and he had important business to be confirmed by himself. He was not qualified to be the master, and he didn't understand.
"Let me talk to Your Excellency Liu Feng in person?" Elsa frowned, thinking about her intentions.
"Yes, next year we need to buy at least sheep. This amount is a bit huge, and I can't decide." Niu Wu lowered his head and said.
"Twenty thousand sheep?" Elsa opened her mouth, staring blankly at Niu Wu. She wondered if she heard it wrong?You must know that in her tribe, the number of sheep raised in a year is only about to , and now she has to buy one-third of the sheep.
"Yes, this is the minimum amount. Please talk to the young master to find out the exact amount." Niu Wu said with a serious face.
"..." Spencer looked at Niu Wu speechlessly, he was thinking about why that young man with black hair and black eyes had such courage to open his mouth to buy sheep.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Elsa raised her eyebrows, her golden eyes flickered, and said in a low voice, "To put it bluntly, your city lord is just a little baron. Can he afford to buy sheep?"
"Hahaha..."
Niu Wu was stunned, then laughed loudly, "Boss, I think you made a mistake."
"What's wrong?" Elsa's golden eyes narrowed slightly, and she wanted to see what she could say.
A little baron actually opened his mouth to buy at least sheep, and asked her to talk to him in person?Just a Baron?
"My young master is not an ordinary baron. To put it bluntly, as long as my young master is willing, he is at least an earl now."
Niu Wu stood up imposingly, his voice full of sternness, "Boss, don't use other barons to judge our young master, it's an insult to him."
"..." Elsa raised her eyebrows, quietly looking at Niu Wu who had completely changed, thinking about what kind of person it is that could make her subordinates protect him like this.
"Bold, how dare you do this..." The maid was fine with it, and a small businessman dared to speak rudely to the princess.
"Let's not talk about it for the time being." Elsa waved her hand to tell the maid to shut up. She didn't want to ruin the business of the two thousand sheep.
If it was her in the past, if Niu Wu dared to talk to her like that, a whipping would be indispensable... But now she has to think about the tribe and restrain her temper a little.
"I was the one to be rude." Niu Wu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stepped down the steps for the other party.
"Mr. Niu Wu, what did you use to pay for the sheep?" Elsa asked indifferently.This is the most important thing. If it is paid with gold coins, she will arrange for someone to sneak into the human city to buy supplies.
"It depends on the leader's choice. If you want gold coins, we can settle the settlement on the spot. If you want goods to be deducted, we also brought some goods." Niu Wu said slowly, and finally arrived at the most important time of the day.
"Oh? Did you bring the goods?" Elsa was astonished, and asked quickly, "Did you bring salt?"
"Bring it." The corner of Niu Wu's mouth raised slightly, the young master's guess was right, the tribe was short of salt, otherwise he wouldn't have asked if he had brought salt.
"How much? How do you calculate the salt?" Elsa asked in a deep voice, as long as it wasn't too outrageous, she decided to buy it.
"We brought a hundred catties of salt, the price is the market price, thirty copper coins per catty." Niu Wu said flatly.
"Are you sure it's 36 copper coins per catty of salt?" Elsa asked blankly. You must know that because of the lack of salt, the market has now fried salt to copper coins per catty.
"Yes." Niu Wu nodded and added, "It's a preferential price for your tribe, it's just our small sincerity."
"Sincerely?" Elsa nodded lightly. One hundred catties of salt is not too much, but at least it can last for a while.
"We also brought wine and some delicacies." After Niu Wu finished speaking, he gave the old soldier a look, and immediately two veterans walked outside.
"Wine, food?" Elsa clenched her hands tightly. She hadn't drunk wine for a long time, let alone food, and she would be satisfied with more frozen dishes.
"Ta Tata..."
The veteran came back soon, bringing canned fish, Youhe Daqu wine, and a few packets of salt.
Chapter 0453 Negotiation Next.
"Boss, these are the four kinds of goods I brought, please have a look." Niu Wu pointed to the things in the hands of the veteran, including frozen vegetables wrapped in sackcloth.
"Bring here." Elsa ordered to the maid, looking at the four items curiously.
"Yes." The maid immediately took four items from the hands of the veteran and placed them in front of Elsa.
"Which one is salt?" Elsa glanced at the four things in front of her eyes, including ceramics and linen, and an unknown thing.The ceramic jars are pretty nice though.
"That bag of brown-yellow stuff is salt." Niu Wu said hastily.
"Is this bag of salt?" Elsa held the paper bag of salt and squeezed it, it didn't feel like sackcloth.
"The bag containing the salt is a kind of paper, which can be waterproof after being specially made. The weight of a bag is one catty." Niu Wu roughly introduced.
"I see."
Elsa nodded in a daze, she didn't know what she was talking about anyway, it just felt like something powerful.She picked up the knife on the table and plunged it into the salt bag to cut it open, staring blankly at the snow-white salt.
"Is this salt? So white?" Elsa blinked her golden eyes, dipped a little bit of it into her mouth with her fingers, and frowned at the saltiness, but she still swallowed it.
"This is our young master's special salt made by a secret method, without the bitterness of ordinary salt." Niu Wu said with his head raised.
"It's good salt." Elsa nodded. It was even better than the salt she got in the Brutus Beastmen's Palace, but it was simply salty.
A catty of this kind of salt only sells for thirty copper coins, and she has indeed made a profit. If Elsa knows about this salt, as long as a commoner in Saba City buys it with an ID card, it only costs five copper coins per catty. Be surprised.
Elsa took a sip of water, rinsed her mouth and swallowed, turned her eyes to the black ceramic bottle, and asked, "What is this bottle?"
"The wine, Youhe Daqu wine, is a first-class fine wine." Niu Wu introduced.
"Youhe Daqu? Strange name." Elsa didn't expect much from wine. She often drank Royal Wine in Brutus Beastman Palace. Could this wine be better than Royal Wine?
The maid opened the wine without Elsa's instructions, and the strong aroma of the wine wafted out, making everyone present salivate.
Especially those Beastkin knights, swallowing saliva so loudly that Elsa blushed when she heard it, it was really embarrassing.
"Good wine." The maid poured some wine, tried it first, and then poured a glass for Elsa.
"Good wine, absolutely good wine." Elsa took a sip, her golden eyes sparkling, it was better than the wine she drank in Brutus Beastmen's Palace, it really was first-class wine.
"This is also a special wine made by the young master with a secret recipe. Only Saba City produces it in the whole world."
With a smile on the corner of Niu Wu's mouth, he said proudly, "Leader, please open another jar. It's a delicious appetizer."
"Okay, open it." Elsa ordered, her curiosity fully aroused.
The maid then opened the can of fish, and the aroma of fish meat and seasoning wafted out, causing another sound of swallowing saliva.
"What is this?" Elsa stared straight at the ceramic jar, drooling, and feeling very hungry.
"This is canned fish, which is also specially made by the young master with a secret recipe. Only Saba City can produce it." Niu Wu said, licking the corner of his mouth.
The maid brought the plate, poured out the fish, and prepared a knife. After trying it, she ate another piece and put the plate in front of Elsa with a blushing face.
"Hiss... this is delicious..." Elsa pierced a small piece with a knife and stuffed it into her mouth. The rich aroma completely filled her taste buds, and she started to eat it.
"..." Niu Wu looked at the tribal leader with the corners of his mouth twitching. He pulled up the sackcloth covering his cheek with one hand, and kept stuffing fish into his mouth with the other, but he couldn't see what the other party looked like.
Seeing Niu Wu's strange eyes, Elsa held back her greedy eyes, put down the knife embarrassingly, looked at the last linen package with her golden eyes, and asked curiously, "Where is this last thing?"
"The leader will know when he opens it." Niu Wu smiled lightly, no one would be able to resist the bait of frozen vegetables.
"Oh?" Elsa untied the knotted cloth with her own hands, and after pulling away the sackcloth, stared blankly at the frozen vegetables inside.
With trembling hands, she picked up a green vegetable, pulled one off and stuffed it into her mouth to chew, and shouted in amazement, "Is this really a green vegetable?"
"Yes, it's our young master who used his magical skills to grow vegetables in winter." Niu Wu would brag about Liu Feng's power whenever he had the chance.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Elsa chewed the vegetables, her golden eyes were full of long-lasting shock, she suddenly became interested in that mysterious Liu Feng, what kind of person is it that can make so many magical and incredible things out.
"I think next spring, I can meet and have a good talk with Your Excellency Liu Feng." Elsa put down the knife, wiped her mouth with a sackcloth and said, "Talk about the business of the sheep, and the salt, wine, and fish. Canning, and the greens business."
"I'll tell the young master." Niu Wu bowed and saluted, and the task was mostly done.
"Then how many horses do you need?" Elsa put down the vegetables and asked. This is also a big deal. The horses only consume pasture in winter, so it's good to sell some in advance.
"We need one hundred draft horses for the time being. We need draft horses to drag the mutton." Niu Wu said slowly. If we buy too many draft horses now, we will definitely consume a lot of vegetables in the shed.
"One hundred horses? Is it too little? I can lower the price." Elsa frowned.
"One hundred horses is enough for the time being, and we will buy a lot next year." Niu Wu calmly said.
After the two hundred horses bring the mutton back home, they can be put into the work of the dock again, and they will not be idle at all. If they buy a large amount now, it will only be wasted.
"Next year again? So where will I meet with His Excellency Liu Feng? In our tribe?" Elsa raised her eyebrows. She found that the other party had big plans for next year, otherwise she would not have bought a large number of sheep and draft horses.
"You can talk to our young master in Heishui City, which happens to be in the middle of the Sahara Prairie to Saba City." Niu Wu said hastily.
"Impossible." The maid was the first to object and shouted, "Who knows if your human race will do anything."
"Go down and rest first, I need to think about this." Elsa waved her hand and ordered the Beastkin knight to take Niu Wu and the others down.
"Then I will take my leave." Niu Wuxing saluted, and followed the Beastkin knight away.
Chapter 0454 Horn mother's troubles.
Saba City at night is very quiet. It is around four o'clock at night, and there are still two hours before dawn.
In the castle, except for the soldiers who were on duty at night, everyone was sleeping. The beast ear girls fell into a sweet sleep. Everyone fell asleep peacefully, because this was Liu Feng's castle, and they were very relieved.
But Niujiaoniang was having a nightmare. In the dream, familiar faces roared ferociously.
"You are just a slave, why did you catch me?"
"You're a lowly slave, slave, slave..."
"..."
"No, no, I'm not a slave, I'm not, I'm not..."
Tess yelled unconsciously, waving her hands, her brows were tightly frowned, and her face was full of pain.
"I'm not a slave, no, no!!"
Tess's face was ferocious, she opened her purple eyes suddenly, gasped for breath, swallowed her saliva, and stared blankly at the top of the linen tent, it took her a while to recover.
"I'm having this nightmare again." Tees rubbed her eye sockets, she was very sleepy but didn't feel sleepy at all.
This is the same dream she had for three consecutive days, and every day in the dream, many people shouted at her, 'You are a slave, you are a slave...'
Today, this dream made her even more flustered. Even the people in the castle called her a slave, and even Enri, Mina, Nicole, and Eliza called her a slave. The disgusted eyes made her terrified.
And what woke her up was that even the young master and Sister Bella called her a slave and told her to go far away. This completely woke her up. Two days ago, she was still a civilian, and her colleagues in the security department called her a slave. This nightmare made her more and more frightened.
"What should I do?" Tess stretched out her right arm, on which there was an obvious triangular slave brand, which was imprinted after she was coaxed by the traveling merchant.
"Should I cut it off with a knife?" Teess rubbed the slave's brand with her left fingers vigorously. It turned red and her skin was a little damaged, but the brand was still there.
"It hurts." Niujiaoniang's right arm became hot, and the pain immediately hit her, causing her to gasp quickly.
"Ugh!"
Diss sighed, lowered her arms, turned her head and looked at the window, with thousands of thoughts in her mind, will this brand of slavery be with her forever?
She thought she didn't care about her status as a slave, no, she never cared about her status as a slave, but the nightmares these past few days made her think of many things, and she became concerned.
Niujiaoniang just lay on the bed like this, thinking wildly until dawn, when she heard the noise from outside, she sat up, shook her long purple hair, and her huge breasts trembled.
"The weather is fine today. It was still snowing yesterday, but today it will be sunny." Annie shouted loudly.
"Anli, don't be too loud, the others are still sleeping." Viya persuaded softly.
"Oh... sorry, sorry." Fox Er Niang hurriedly apologized in a low voice.
"..."
Diss listened quietly to the sounds outside, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She thought that only Viya, the young master, and Nicole could keep Annie so quiet... If it was her and Mina, it would be another bickering battle.
As for the reason, she looked down at her heavy chest, smiled, and muttered to herself, "Probably because I'm jealous of my big breasts."
Her breasts were the largest in the castle, and the eldest sister used to like to hug her to sleep in the middle of the night, which made her quite helpless.
"I'm also troubled by the big breasts. I feel tired even walking." Tissy scratched her hair. She thought that if she said it in front of the fox-eared lady, she might cause the fox-eared lady to yell again.
Tess lifted the quilt, got out of bed and began to change clothes, ready to have breakfast, to start today's work, that is, to patrol the road.
"Or, why don't you go today." Tees took off her clothes and was about to put on the leather armor, but she paused, looking down at the slave brand on her arm, she didn't want to go out to see other people's strange eyes.
She removed her hand from the leather armor, grabbed a long skirt and put it on, and decided to take a day off today, treating it as a vacation.
"It's done, it feels a little empty." Niujiaoniang changed her long skirt and patted her unconstrained chest. She hadn't worn such clothes for a long time, and she had been wearing leather armor before.
"Gag!"
With her long purple hair scattered, Tess opened the door and walked out. The dining room should be ready for dinner now. She got up late today.
"Ta Tata..."
As she was walking on the road, the astonished gazes of the maids made her hold her right arm unconsciously, and hurriedly walked away.
"Wow! Miss Tees is so beautiful today, it's the first time I see her in a formal dress."
"Yeah, especially the big breasts, which are really enviable."
"Stop talking, let Miss Anli hear it later..."
"Hee hee... No way, let's go."
"..."
Tess didn't hear the conversation of the maids. When she came to the dining room, she saw Annie, Nicole, Su Mi, Fleur, Eliza and Viya were all there.
"Huh? Tess, are you feeling well today?" Annie asked in shock. Niujiao Niang actually wore long skirts today, especially the huge pair, which was very dazzling.
"Yeah, what's wrong with you, I'll go to the young master to show you." Nicole asked with concern, she felt that Niujiaoniang was a little abnormal today.
"It's okay, I just want to take a rest today." Tess yawned as she spoke, and her right hand involuntarily hid behind her.
"..." Eliza frowned as she watched the horn girl's movements, and she also felt that Tees was a bit strange, instead of being careless as before, she felt rather restrained.
"What's the matter? Who's not feeling well?" Liu Feng asked, leading Mina and Avery into the room. Xiuxiu was just warming up this morning, and he heard the conversation inside at the door.
"Huh? Tess, you are so beautiful today." Mina praised in surprise.
"Thank you." Tess scratched her cheek embarrassedly, and said softly to Liu Feng, "Master, no one is uncomfortable. I just want to be lazy today and not go to the security department."
"Is it really okay? Tees, haven't you had a good rest lately?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, looked at Niujiaoniang's dark circles, and said worriedly, "You need to rest more, you don't need to go to the security department for a few days."
"Yeah, it's just a nightmare." Tess smiled reluctantly, with her right arm behind her back. She didn't know why, and she didn't want the people present to know that she was a slave.
Chapter 0455 black history.
"Are you having nightmares? Then go to the hot spring to relax tonight." Liu Feng smiled gently, waved and shouted, "Dinner, eat more delicious food, and then go back to catch up on sleep."
"Yeah!" Tess nodded quickly, she didn't know why, she was a little scared to sleep.
"Nicole, what are you eating today?" Annie raised her hand and shouted, her brown eyes looked around, but she didn't see anything to eat.
"Eating rice rolls today is my new breakfast." Nicole put up a finger and said with a smile, "I have tried it, it is very delicious."
"Huh? What's rice rolls?" Annie's brown eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "What a strange name, intestines? Offal?"
"Innards?" Avery's orange eyes were slightly bright, and she put her hands on the edge of the table, and asked quickly, "Do you want roasted pig intestines? I want more garlic this time."
"..." Liu Feng looked at the wolf-eared lady who was licking the corner of her mouth with a smile. She ate barbecue a few days ago, and the roasted pig intestines made the wolf-eared lady very fond of it.
"Huh? Do you have barbecue in the morning?" Viya asked in surprise.
"No, you're overthinking it." Nicole rolled her eyes, waved her hands and said, "This rice roll is not the pig's intestines you imagined, it's a kind of pasta, and you'll know when I get it out."
After finishing speaking, Nicole left the dining room, leaving behind the beast-eared girls who were a little bit regretful. They thought it would be nice to have a barbecue in the morning.
"Ta Tata..."
After a while, Nicole came in with a few maids, carrying a round pot, a wooden bucket, and several trays of ingredients, including eggs, green vegetables, and minced meat with mushrooms, etc., and the most important thing was a plate of special sauce .
"Is there so much food prepared?" Liu Feng smiled lightly. This rice roll is one of his favorite breakfasts, but Nicole made it unexpectedly.
"A lot of ingredients are delicious." Nicole responded in a hurry. She put the custom-made round pot on the stove, then added water into it, put the lid on and waited for the water to boil.
"What are you doing?" Viya and Curiosity came to the side, watched Nicole's movements carefully, and took out a notepad to write down.
"The rice rolls need to be steamed." Nicole explained while stirring the rice milk in the barrel with a wooden spoon, "This rice rolls are ground into rice milk from polished rice, and then steamed with water."
"Huh? Then why is it called rice rolls? Wouldn't it be better to just call it rice milk noodles." Annie flicked her fox tail, not quite understanding the name.
"You will know soon." Nicole smiled mysteriously. She was surprised by the recipe of the rice rolls given by the young master and the name, but after she tested the rice rolls, she felt that there was no problem with the name.
"The water is boiling." Annie shouted hastily.
"Don't worry, you can eat it soon."
Nicole picked up an iron plate the size of a washbasin, poured a spoonful of rice milk into the iron plate, and smoothed the rice milk onto the iron plate.Then take a bowl, break in an egg, add minced meat and shiitake mushrooms, stir everything together, pour the egg into the iron plate, and then add the vegetables.
Then lift the lid of the pot, put a shelf into the pot, then put the iron plate in, put the lid on the pot and wait for it to be steamed.
After finishing all this, Nicole picked up an iron plate to do what she just did, adding rice milk, eggs and so on.
"It's almost ready." Nicole fixed the iron plate, estimated that it would be about time to lift the lid, and wrapped her hands in sackcloth to pick up the iron plate.
"Wow! It looks like a pastry." Mina said in surprise, her blue eyes fixed on the iron plate.
"Everyone will have enough to eat soon." Nicole put another iron plate into the pot, picked up an iron scraper, and scraped off the steamed noodles on the iron plate, and soon the noodles were scraped into strips.
"Wow, so this is rice rolls." Annie suddenly realized, "However, I still think this name is very strange."
"Okay, the first plate of rice rolls is finished." Nicole poured the rice rolls with the special sauce, put the rice rolls on Liu Feng's table, and said expectantly, "Master, how do you feel when you try it?"
"Okay, let me try it." Liu Feng picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of rice rolls covered with sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well, tsk..." Liu Feng chewed and swallowed, then gave Nicole a thumbs up, and praised, "It's delicious, it's the taste in my memory."
"That's really great." Nicole's gray eyes were bent into crescents, the corner of her mouth was smiling, she flicked her long flaxen hair, and continued to make rice rolls with great interest.
"It's really delicious." Liu Feng picked up another piece of rice rolls, raised his eyes and saw all the beast-eared girls staring at him, how could he eat it.
"Come on, you all have a taste." Liu Feng stuffed the rice rolls in his pocket into Fleur who was staring at him, and then pushed the rice rolls on the plate to the middle of the table.
"Shhhhh..."
In an instant, four or five pairs of chopsticks went straight to the plate. The wolf-eared girl and the cat-eared girl grabbed it first, followed by the elf and the rabbit-eared girl. Stretch.
"Your Highness, come, open your mouth." Avery stretched out the rice rolls to Anli like coaxing a child.
"..." The corners of Anli's mouth twitched, she raised her arms, pointed her palms at Avery, and said angrily, "I can pinch myself, and... I'm not a child anymore."
"Your Highness, it was me before..." Avery froze for a moment, and opened her mouth to continue.
"Avery, shut up." Annie blushed, her fox tail frizzed, and yelled, "Don't mention the past, I can eat by myself now, and I don't need to be fed!"
"Uh uh..."
Silence, everyone stared blankly at Fox's Lady, and a scene emerged in their minds, that is the scene of little Fox's Lady lying in the arms of Little Wolf's Lady, and the scene of Little Wolf's Lady feeding, such two little beasts The feeding scene of Er Niang is really cute.
"..." The corners of Annie's eyes twitched, she turned her stiff neck, scanned the crowd, and sat back in her chair in embarrassment, with her arms folded and her mouth open to bite the rice rolls handed over by Avery, and sighed weakly, "It's delicious, Really delicious..."
Oh my god, another black history has come out of me. I'm really not a person who eats because I need someone to coax me, ahh... no, it's because my hands are used to read books, so I need someone to feed me, yes... that's it look.
"Su Mi, open your mouth." Viya shook her head amusedly, stuffed the rice rolls into the mouth of Lu Erniang, and asked softly, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious." Su Mi squinted, chewing and making an indistinct sound, "I, I also want to learn how to cook."
"Okay, let Sister Nicole teach you in the future." Viya comforted.
"Huh? Tess, why don't you eat?" Liu Feng looked at the Niujiaoniang who was sitting there blankly in astonishment. Isn't he the most active in grabbing food?
Chapter 0456 Is the aunt coming?
"Ah?" Tess froze for a moment, blinked her purple eyes, came back to her senses, and asked suspiciously, "Master, what did you say?"
She was distracted just now, thinking about how to get rid of the slave brand, but didn't pay attention to what everyone was doing for a while.
"Is there something wrong with you?" Liu Feng frowned. Today's Niujiaoniang is very abnormal. She is usually the most active in eating, but today she seems to be a different person.
He looked at the plate in the middle of the table, there was still a lot of rice rolls in it, but he couldn't attract Niu Jiao Niang's eyes, her purple eyes were full of sadness, which made him feel that something must be wrong.
"No, I'm really not uncomfortable." Tess waved her hands in a panic. She didn't want to say that it was because of the slave. There was no way to change it. Unless the slave brand was removed, people would know that she was a slave if they saw her.
The triangular slave brand is already a symbol of slaves in this era. As long as slaves are found in the wild, just kill or capture them, because nine times out of ten they are escaped slaves, and no one will be held accountable if they are killed, or they will be sold again.
"Could it be that you have a fever?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought of a possibility, that is, Niujiaoniang was afraid of injections, so she insisted that she was not feeling sick.
"Ta Tata..."
Liu Feng got up and walked towards Niujiaoniang. Seeing her hurried appearance, he felt that his guess should be very accurate.
"Young master, I'm really fine." Tess shook her head quickly, her pair of big ones were shaking violently, her left hand was tightly pinching her right arm, feeling very flustered.
"I'll find out after I check it." Liu Feng smiled gently, stretched out his hand to lift the purple hair in front of Niujiaoniang's forehead, lowered his head and pressed his forehead to it, carefully feeling the temperature of Niujiaoniang.
"..." Disi's purple pupils stared blankly at the cheeks in front of her, those dark and dark pupils.Liu Feng's intimate movements and hot and humid exhalation hit her face, making her cheeks flush.
The young master looks so special, his eyes are fascinating, he is so gentle, and he smells good on his body, and he is willing to give her a lot of delicious food. Every time he eats, he prepares an extra portion for her. It is really like "Love of a noble girl The male lead in "Notes" makes people yearn for...
No, Tees, you are just a slave, you are not worthy of the young master, no noble will marry a slave, you can only be treated as...
Stop, Tees, you can't think about it anymore, the young master is not that kind of person, you can't think about it.
Niujiaoniang's thinking is now confused, and various thoughts come into contact with her. Her elder sister Bella taught, "There is no good thing in a man, they are all deceitful."
And what she had experienced made her think wildly. She didn't sleep well for several days, which made her a little nervous, especially the dream she had last night, which made her feel terrified.
"Hey, don't you have a fever?" Liu Feng frowned, turned his forehead away from Tees, and turned to Mina and shouted, "Mina, go get the thermometer."
He felt that Niujiaoniang's forehead temperature was similar to his own, and now he could only measure it with a thermometer to be more accurate.
"Okay." Mina responded, twisted her buttocks, flicked the cat's tail and flew out.
"Master, is Tees sick?" Nicole asked worriedly, and put down the two plates of rice rolls.
"Use a thermometer to find out." Liu Feng shook his head, looked down at Niujiaoniang who was frowning tightly, raised his hand to rub her head lovingly, and smiled gently, "It doesn't have to be an injection."
"Yeah!" Tess looked up at Liu Feng's gentle and sunny smiling face, suppressed her messy mind, and sat quietly.
"Tice, it's okay." Eliza sat next to the horned girl, holding her right arm tightly.
"I'm really fine." Tess trembled, looking down at her held right arm, her purple eyes trembling.
"..." Eliza frowned tightly, she could feel Tees' nervousness, which gave her a very reserved feeling, as if she had done something wrong.
After a while, Mina came back with the first-aid kit. She quickly opened the first-aid kit and took out the thermometer. She also uses this thing now. After all, there are many girls in the castle, so it is impossible for Liu Feng to do everything.
"Teess, come on, put the thermometer under your armpit." Mina held the thermometer and didn't count on Tess's response. She reached in from her collar and stuffed the thermometer into the horn girl's armpit after going through the huge soft spot .
"I..." Tess could clearly feel everyone's concern for her, as well as deep worries, which made her depressed mood much better, but she couldn't say some words.
Sometimes honest people, once they have troubles, think more seriously than ordinary people, and it is more difficult to dissipate than ordinary people.
"It's okay, you just haven't had a good rest." Liu Feng said gently, he could feel Niujiaoniang's anxiety.
"Yeah!" Tiss nodded, she didn't tell the nightmare, feeling like she was making a big deal out of a molehill.
A few minutes passed quickly, and Mina took out the thermometer from Niujiaoniang's armpit, and after observing it, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, I don't have a fever."
"Great." Eliza said happily.
"Maybe it's because you're too tired. Let's rest after breakfast." Nicole said seriously, pushing a plate of rice rolls in front of Teess.
"Okay." Tess smiled at the corner of her mouth, her pretty nose moved a few times, and her purple eyes were shining brightly at the sausage fungus.
"Hurry up and eat, everyone." Liu Feng raised his voice, looking at Di Si's face, his black eyes flickered, and he lowered his head to eat rice rolls.
"It's finally ready to eat." Annie happily yelled, picked up her chopsticks and started to eat.
"It's really delicious." Eliza praised, her pointed ears trembling twice.
"More." Fleur put down her chopsticks and pushed the empty plate to Nicole, who had already started eating just now.
"I want it too." Su Mi shouted with the sauce hanging from the corner of her mouth, "I want a big portion, bigger than Frey."
"I want three copies." Fleur said coldly.
"..."
Listening to the childish conversation, Liu Feng couldn't help but feel amused. Maybe Fleur is more like a 13-year-old girl at this moment.
The pleasant breakfast began, and the maids got busy quickly. Nicole was holding a plate while eating and supervising and pointing.
It's just that Liu Feng still found something unusual. Niujiaoniang ate less breakfast today, and only ate one-third of the usual amount. This made him think about what happened.
Wait, abnormal?Liu Feng immediately thought that girls seem to have a few abnormal days in a month. Could it be that Di Si's "relative and aunt" has come?
Chapter 0457 Should I Leave?
Girls' relatives and aunts in this era are considered filthy things, and girls will not tell them. Some girls bleed for the first time and think they are sick. They will be suspicious and worry about whether they will die.
Of course, what Liu Feng knew was what Maoer Niang told him. After the two of them had warmed up, they would talk about some heart-to-heart topics, and they talked about the issue of "relatives and aunts", that is, the menstrual period.
Liu Feng also gave Maoerniang a popular science, what is menstrual period, why girls have abnormal days in a month, but he didn't say this, because he didn't know.
"Mina, come here." Liu Feng stretched out his hand to pinch Maoerniang's tail, and tugged gently.
"Hmm!" Mina's cheeks were flushed and she made a nasal sound, her whole body felt soft, as if an electric current was rushing to the top of her head from her tail, she moved her body close to Liu Feng.
"Mina, it's possible that Tess is here." Liu Feng pinched Mina's cat ears and whispered, "Go and ask if that one is here?"
"That?" Mina was confused, her blue eyes were full of doubts, she didn't know what the young master was talking about.
"You..." Liu Feng rolled his eyes, then whispered, "It's the days when the girl was bleeding."
"Ah..." Mina covered her mouth, her cheeks flushed visibly, she nodded shyly, and made a nasal sound like a mosquito, "Mmm."
"If it really comes, make some brown sugar water for Tees." Liu Feng whispered, and then let go of Mina's cat ears.
"Okay, okay." Mina replied in a low voice, she didn't expect the young master to tell her that, it was really embarrassing.
"Okay, I'm going to deal with government affairs, you guys take your time." Liu Feng clapped his hands, got up and gave Mao Erniang a look, and then led Annie to the study.
"Su Mi, is Frey full? I'm going to school." Viya shouted, shaking her rabbit ears.
"Full." Su Mi patted her slightly protruding belly.
"Hmm!" Fleur made a nasal sound indifferently.
"Miss Avery." Viya said politely to Avery, "I need to trouble you to escort us to school again."
"It should." Avery said coldly.
Wolf-Er Niang took the big sword beside her and walked outside first, followed by Rabbit-Er Niang with Fleur and Lu-Er Niang.
"Tiss, you rest more today, I will go to the training camp first." Eliza patted the horn girl's arm, her emerald green eyes flickered, and said meaningfully, "If you have anything, you must say it ."
"Okay." Tess was stunned, but responded immediately, "Go quickly, don't be late."
