Chapter 172 Very Expensive Meat

The butler is always reassuring. The first thing he did when he entered the door with the caravan was to take a look at the wealthiest places of the nobles, and then followed the small merchants to the slums, and even endured Disgusted, I went to buy a piece of black bread mixed with sawdust and stones and tasted it. I bit it down and found that there were half cooked insect corpses. This man who has lived a good life for a few years couldn’t bear it anymore. He spit it out I rinsed my mouth with water after I couldn't bite the bread, and went to the boss to settle the score.

"It's not bad if you don't ask for more money."

The owner of the bakery has a malnourished complexion and a big belly. When he sees bugs, he droops his face and wants to blow the housekeeper out. Seeing the two soldiers next to him, he mutters reluctantly, "It's not uncommon for someone who can open a shop here." They all have good eyesight. Although these people seem to be well-raised, they don’t have armor. unknown.

"say clearly."

Thinking of something, the housekeeper's breath suddenly became short of breath, and he had already thought of something that he didn't want to admit.

"This is expensive meat!"

The boss lowered his head and rolled his eyes before raising his head with a smile and explaining, his short thick fingers nimbly pulled out the half-dead bug and turned it upside down, and then he couldn't help showing a distressed look.

"I sell this kind of thing for extra money!"

Thinking of losing so much money, the boss was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. At the same time, he quietly hid the half of the fat white worm, and planned to eat it with his family later.

"I see."

The superficially calm housekeeper was already on the verge of collapse. He naturally put the bread on the ground and quickly disappeared. The bakery owner's explanation was disgusting but impeccable. It was because he hadn't prepared well in advance.

"Sure enough, he is a nobleman."

The boss who picked up the bread on the ground the moment the housekeeper turned around sighed, looked at the child who was staring at the ground not far away, and finally withdrew his hand, waddled back to the shop, and kept observing the child here After waiting cautiously for a while, he rushed out quickly, holding the bread that had been chewed a few times with the soil belt in his hand, and disappeared after a few turns.

In the face of survival, dignity is never worth mentioning.

The butler, who has not worried about survival for a long time, has forgotten the pain of the past, but today's wandering around reminds him of the past when he was hungry and panicked every night, and the theft and robbery he was caught several times also reminded him. Before arriving at Febrina Castle, the butler walked through the streets in a calm manner, and finally returned to the most suitable place to recruit people. In fact, he bought slaves to save worry and trouble, but it may be that Xu Tian It affected a little less, and finally decided to hire.

The housekeeper who didn't have much time finally handed over the screening and persuasion work to Lacey, and Rouge, who was about to expire in a few days for a small intermediary fee, directly replaced it. Lacey, who hadn't turned into a thorough businessman, even asked She paid the housekeeper a small amount of money, and patted her chest to ensure that all the people who work there are absolutely qualified. Her daughter sat obediently and listened to the conversation between the two, and she didn't know if she really understood what her mother was doing. what to do.

The housekeeper was in a relaxed mood when he left. He just managed to solve the most complicated tasks of selling cosmetics, finding people and buying food, and by the way, he also gained the friendship of a businessman with some potential. Now he can finally go back and have a good rest Yes, it is true that Xu Tian has been making troubles in the territory these few years, but he has to admit that he is a bit too busy. This kind of leisure life that was only ordinary a few years ago is now a rare experience.

But if the housekeeper had to choose, he still wanted to follow Xu Tian.

"We have enough coins to buy food."

After watching the housekeeper for so long, I more or less knew what to do. I was sure that someone would come to work early tomorrow morning, so I went back to discuss with Catherine. Years of trade has more or less given these people the impression of Fibrina Castle, and now the most annoying thing for the housekeeper is actually another important thing.

"We can't buy meat from the castle."

Every day, the butler, who now has a faint double chin, announced this fact with a heavy face. However, the soldier chief who has long been accustomed to the quality of food in the castle has not yet realized what is going on.

"Most of their meat is pork."

Catherine, who had never been in contact with pig raising, did not receive the steward's reminder.

"Ah."

So?

"These pigs eat human flesh."

The fat old man in his 40s couldn't bear to tell the cruel truth to the teenage soldier chief, but in the end he could only tell the truth.

It is very common for pigs to eat human flesh in this era. The former housekeeper knew about it when he was working under the former lord, but the pigs raised by Xu Tian have been vegetarian since birth, so the housekeeper who just arrived here has not thought of it. This cruel truth, until he saw a small finger leaking from the mouth of the swaggering pig on the road, at that time he was both nauseated and thankful - all the pigs in Fibrina Castle were eaten by the former lord alone, too The greedy appetite gave the housekeeper and the others no chance to chew on the bones.

"……it is good."

Just because she didn't think about it doesn't mean she didn't remember it. Catherine's complexion turned pale all of a sudden, and she agreed softly after a long silence. Her current mood is actually similar to that of the housekeeper, but she is even more fortunate that Xu Tian didn't eat this. kind of food.

The two people who held the highest authority quickly decided that the right source of meat here was the woods, adding at most a chicken, and the housekeeper did not tell the simple Catherine that the pigs that were sold were sick, and their meat There are a lot of pimples. Before Xu Tian left, he suddenly remembered the soybean pork, also called rice pork.

But since the little girl has decided not to buy pork, the butler will not scare her.

The time for road construction was really tight, and Catherine was a hotheaded person. She directed the soldiers around all day, but before night came, she built a wooden shed that was big enough for everyone to sleep in, and got a lot of money. To make materials for wheelbarrows and flatbed carts, we waited for the personnel to arrive tomorrow to collect the food and put down the food to start work. The exhaustion of the day made everyone fall into a dream quickly. Only a few people who were dedicated to the night watch kept their eyes open and carefully observed the surrounding conditions waiting for the shift to change.

The transportation of a large number of grains is no longer a problem this year. Five years of good weather have caused most nobles to lose their due vigilance. The sky has lowered the bottom line of these people bit by bit and increased their own inventory. The two sets of accessories brought by the merchant this year have pushed the consumption desire of the nobles to a climax. Febrina's accessories are proud, and every man also regards Febrina's clothing as a sign of fashion.

One set of women's accessories is a combination of jet and sapphire, the other is gorgeous gold and silver jewelry, while men's accessories are relatively simple ruby ​​cufflinks, all of which are gorgeous and exaggerated. It took only a small amount of money to scrape together two sets. The businessman in charge of the business made a lot of money even if he got [-]% of the money. He also got the kindness of the Viscount’s daughter and the castellan’s wife. One is the richest and the other is the most powerful. It can be said that as long as If you don't die, the businessman will have a backer.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but one of the two women happened to have blond hair and the other had reddish brown hair. After unpacking the smelly bun and sweeping off a pile of white spots with a broom, the beautiful jewelry was carefully taken away. Going up, the appearance of the whole person has been raised a lot. When they put on the waist and large linen dresses, they look at themselves in front of the mirror and feel that they are the most beautiful cubs at the banquet... Although the businessman still thinks Lord Febrina looks more comfortable with her clean and fresh look, even if it's a man...

Of course, this kind of inner thoughts cannot be said. The businessman who had the honor to observe the two ladies dressing up because of the jewelry presented made them smile with a series of rainbow farts. Looking at the tall and beautiful self in the mirror, I felt better. Originally, I planned to procrastinate Yidao's food was given out so readily, and when the father/husband came, he skillfully coaxed him with the matching cufflinks, but the businessmen could not know what happened after this.

The price of the two sets of accessories Xu Tian is completely a lion's mouth, and the businessman is more greedy than him. The [-]% plus commission makes the two guys who sold their souls to the devil press the customer's bottom line to bid. It's all about money. Model, fortunately, they succeeded, Lord Xu also got the food, and the two businessmen, who knew that there were many nights and dreams, didn't care that it was getting dark, so they directly led a group of men and spent some money to bribe the managers of the noble granary to start moving ahead. transport.

When the nobles woke up, they heard that the caravans were on their way again. Although they were a little heartbroken and regretful, it was hard to catch up, especially after these exquisite ornaments shined in the banquet. The anger dissipated, and I was just looking forward to the appearance of new jewelry from Febrina. Several nobles had once again planned to send an army over after the autumn harvest, completely forgetting that the former leader who was gone forever force.

The merchants who transported the grain overnight ran quickly, left a small change for Catherine and the others and set foot on the road to Febrina. They can exchange the grain for a higher price on Xu Tian's side. Careful calculation is better than going directly If you get the money, you can earn even more. What, you say troublesome?What trouble is there to make money!What kind of businessman would you be if you don't even want to make money?

This time, the top-level luxury goods were exchanged for a huge amount of food that made people feel weak. The fraction left by the two caravans was enough for Catherine’s team plus the hirers to eat for several months. These low-level civilians In her eyes, it was much more useful than coins. Catherine directed the soldiers to store them in batches, and after a quick wash, they waited for the workers to appear... It seemed that they could seize the opportunity to lure a group of people back!

Belatedly, Catherine opened the door to the new world again.

So when the people following Lacey saw Catherine, they heard a sentence——

"Do you want to move?"

The author has something to say: Everyone in the small theater: Aren’t we here to work? Why did we move?

Catherine: There is food.

Everyone: me, me, me!

It's just that they suddenly found that they can go home while repairing the road... Brother Yan's fault (cover face)
