Wolf King

Xiao Yun didn't bother with anything that was too troublesome. How about a bonfire party on the beach? What could be better than skewers?

The half-year-old lamb is bled and slaughtered, and the meat is marinated and skewered; fresh leeks, radishes, and potatoes are specially brought in slices and skewered; the tender rabbit meat and squirrel meat are peeled and the bones are smashed , even the belt and bone slices are skewered into pieces; snake meat is cut into sections and skewered; offshore fish and shrimp are skewered... Anyway, all the ingredients that can be obtained are processed, and the meat is marinated, and the unmarinated ones are washed. Clean and all strung together.

Rabbits are easy to catch, and squirrel traps are good for hunting. Lean the wooden pole against the squirrel-infested tree, and the squirrel will use the pole to climb the tree. Use thorns, vines and other things on the pole to make downward barbed sleeves Cage, the squirrel can go directly into it by itself...

Made N kinds of skewers, fired a barbed wire frame, picked up a small brush made of my own hair (...) and brushed the skewers with homemade soybean sauce, sprinkled chili noodles, pepper noodles, and cumin , When the wind blows, the smell jumps out arrogantly and with teeth and claws, and whoever catches the nose will have to give up his knees-at least half of the pocket money Xiao Yun earned from working as a tutor in college was buried at the barbecue stand.

Cumin, also known as cumin, is one of St. Bridge’s special edible spices. It is not very popular because of its irritating taste. When Prince Carlisle came to send samples, he put this thing in the fennel. It was Xiao Yun who smelled the incomparably familiar smell of this thing, which made this barbecue perfect match come out... He even asked Carlisle for seeds to plant.

Of the hundreds of elf warriors on duty at the port, there were only a dozen who were willing to give the snow wolves face at the beach bonfire at the beginning. They were all friends of Hailin and Kai, or participated in giving gifts to the snow wolves The escort team has confidence in the food of the snow wolf tribe; when the smell of skewers was carried westward by the sea breeze and covered most of the port, the elves who took turns came out from various places, these pointed ears sniffed and asked each other Under what circumstances, the feet involuntarily walked towards the east...

The elf warrior who was still on duty was also sniffing towards the east, and his saliva secretion soared...

General Kleist was relatively able to sit still, and continued to watch "The Bard's Travels" for more than ten minutes under the sultry aroma. Exit the room door, turn around the corridor, and turn down to the lobby...

"General." In the lobby, the elf soldiers on duty looked over eagerly.

"Hey, are you the only ones here? Where are the others?" Kleist looked left and right at the empty lobby.

"Go to the beach." The elf warriors of the two partners envied.

"..." Kleist was silent for a moment, then walked out, "I'll go and have a look."

The two elf warriors looked at Kleist's back enviously... Ahhh, if it wasn't their turn to be on duty, they would really want to go!

When Kleist walked out of the hotel, the smell brought by the sea breeze became even more craving. This scent seemed to have some kind of magic power, making his feet unconsciously walk in the direction of the smell, walk, walk...

Bypassing the two rows of cabins, the lively beach party scene, brightly illuminated by the bonfire, appeared in front of us:

The fire stove built of stones was covered with barbed wire, and the net was covered with various kinds of skewers. Several snow werewolves stood in front of the stove sweating profusely, brushing all kinds of sauces and spices on the skewers with brushes the size of their palms. , the pyrotechnic gas transpired on the barbed wire spreads along the wind, spreading the sultry aroma to the downwind.

Almost all the elves who were not on duty came here, sitting or standing, and distributed in groups of twos and threes around the barbecue site. The grilled skewers were placed on latte trays by snow wolf warriors and placed on the shelves made of logs and stones. On the long table, a plate was placed, and the plate was robbed...

In addition to all kinds of skewers, there are many jars and pots on the temporary long table, and clean ceramic bowls are stacked aside. People who are too spicy or tired can make soup by themselves; there are kelp, Seaweed soup, as well as canned fruit chilled in nitrated ice water, are very popular no matter what.

"General!" The red-faced Helene spotted Kleist and immediately waved warmly.

"..." Kleist walked gracefully and swiftly to the long table where Hai Lin was standing, his eyes swept over the table like lightning, and said calmly, "Everyone is here?"

Hai Lin smiled, and just so happened that a warrior from the Snow Wolf Clan came over with an iron tray, and she immediately rushed over without hesitation, snatching the entire tray from the outstretched N hands, regardless of everyone's yelling and complaining , and handed the hot and fragrant grilled skewer plate to Kleist, who is flattering: "General, try it, it's delicious."

Kleist was very reserved and casually took a bunch of...

Hai Lin didn't even try to persuade the general to take more. With a twist of her wrist, she slammed the tray into the face of another elf soldier...

Sabrina, the most beautiful elven warrior in Ananas City, is an elven beauty with short blond hair and a bright smile. She grabbed most of the skewers on the tray with both hands, divided them among her friends, and put the tray away. Grab all the remaining skewers on the table...

"Hey hey hey——" Helin Ding, the dog licking, didn't care at all that he didn't have anything to eat, and smirked at the goddess. Sabrina killed a bunch of squirrels in twos and twos. A skewered lamb was stuffed in his hand, and a skewered potato was stuffed.

Hai Lin smirked so much that the handsome face of the elves turned into a funny face.

Kleist: "..." Turning his face away silently, the romance of young boys is really a bit eye-catching.

The skewer in my hand is getting closer, and the smell is even more lethal. I bite off a piece of meat with restraint, um... this delicate taste seems to be rabbit meat. The rich taste provided by the sauce after mixing explodes in the mouth, stimulating a lot of salivation and appetite, subconsciously speeding up the chewing action, without feeling the process of "eating", a skewer of roasted rabbit meat is delicious Killed by Kleist.

General Kleist, who is very particular about table manners, couldn't help but lick his lower lip after eating this skewer of roasted rabbit meat... The little spices on his lips make people feel more nostalgic for the irritating and unprecedented Rich taste, move the index finger, and goose - the tray in Hailin's hand has long been empty.

"..." General Kleist looked at the lick dog Helene with serious eyes.

Another Snow Werewolf came over with a tray. It so happened that Hai Lin was trying to tell a joke to Sabrina at this time, making Sabrina laugh while eating, without noticing the serious look in her general's eyes.

This plate of grilled skewers was taken away by other elf warriors in less than two seconds.

Those who grabbed the skewers happily shared them with their friends, and no one said to pay attention to the general with empty hands.

Kleist: "..." Why is it so bad!

Since he couldn't count on these guys, Kleist was really embarrassed to squeeze together with this group of young people who were one or two hundred years old to grab skewers, so he turned his attention to the snow werewolf who was working hard on the barbecue. The cub Ayun is very knowledgeable, sensible, young and mature.

The cub, Ayun, fanned the wind with a leaf-tied fan in his left hand, and flipped the skewers on the barbed wire with his right hand. From time to time, he brushed the skewers with a brush dipped in spices. Go to his side and wait for the next batch of elves to speak.

Without squinting, Kleist strode over.

"The general is here too!" Xiao Yun waved his fanning hand at Kleist, and he did so kindly... Opened the back door for the leader of the group of elves, grabbed a handful of freshly grilled skewers and put them on a plate. Handed it to Kleist very naturally, "Our Snow Wolf Clan is still very confident in food, general, try it!"

Not to mention how comfortable Kleist is, you little bastards, look at him!See how other people's cubs behave!

He took the tray with a natural expression, and Kleist didn't say that he would eat alone. He grabbed a small half and gave it to the elf warriors waiting beside him.Potatoes are sliced ​​and baked, the taste is completely different~

We usually bake things to eat, why didn't we think of using spices like this~!

It is very necessary to do a spice business with St. Bridge~

Kleist ate several skewers in a row, his pale green skin began to glow red, and beads of sweat were seen on his forehead... It was all from the spiciness, hot and spicy, and he couldn't help exhaling lightly.

When Xiao Yun saw this situation, Chao Yu winked.

The reason why it is difficult for Yu to stand alone is that he lacks decisiveness and is a bit indecisive when encountering more urgent matters, but the advantages of being careful and discerning cannot be erased. Cool canned fruit is here.

The so-called kebabs and iced drinks are not exchanged for even an emperor. Even the Chinese who have been bombarded with their tongues cannot refuse this enjoyment, let alone Kleist. Juice, the elf general narrowed his eyes...

Seeing this, Xiao Yun was delighted, and once again intensified the sugar-coated bombardment—Rang Yu moved a small bench for Kleist to set up a small table, placed the whole plate of skewers, brought over the whole can of iced fruit, Blatantly giving special treatment to Elf General...

Others stood and watched, and he sat and ate. Of course, Kleist was a little embarrassed, and asked the two elves to sit with him.This time, when he started eating again, Kleist enjoyed it with his mouth and felt comfortable in his heart. No wonder Hailin’s personality became so much more lively after meeting the cub of the Snow Wolf Clan, Ayun, and she was no longer vicious or sharp. When people make friends, anyone's heart must be opened up~

After a kebab party, no matter how reserved the elf was, he would sweat profusely and leave his demeanor back to his grandma's house. In the middle of the night, the soldiers on duty, who had been tempted by the smell of kebabs for several hours, rushed over to satisfy their curiosity. When eating and drinking, the atmosphere of the party reached a new high. Even Kai, an awkward guy, took the initiative to learn how to cook by himself with the Snow Werewolf... The Snow Werewolf is a good person who doesn't hide his secrets!Whoever comes over and wants to learn how to grill skewers, they will teach them!

Those who turn over the skewers have become elves, Xiao Yun can take a breather, wipe off the sweat, and the guy squeezes into General Kleist's table, and he puts the essence of the skewers without the general opening his mouth. : The meat needs to be marinated, the ingredients must be sufficient, and the sea blew a pass, and suggested that the general can roast it for his family when he returns to the city-most elves who are over [-] years old have families and mouths, and the thief in front of him looks like a Rhine River special Elf is also a handsome guy who married early.

Modern people dislike the abuse of spices, and pursue the original taste of ingredients, but the premise of abuse is that the social environment has a relatively long period of excess production of spices to overflowing... and this does not exist in this world, not to say that this The production of spices in the world is so low that it is as expensive as gold, but it is because the logistics cannot keep up and the relatively bad trade monopoly-garlic and ginger in the St. I can't even eat the salt I ordered.

The elves do not lack basic food spices. They can produce garlic and ginger by themselves, but they have never eaten spices that only grow in the south, such as chili and cumin. The skill points for making sauces with existing spices, For example, they don't know what the strong flavor and pungent soy sauce, vinegar, garlic sauce, bean paste, barbecue sauce, etc. are; and this is the ultimate goal of Xiao Yun's barbecue party: he intends to take the barbecue sauce from St. The spices obtained from odd exchanges are processed into sauces, which are packaged and sold in the same sealing process as fruit cans.

It is inappropriate to sell this kind of product that is processed and sold from raw materials to the grasslands. After all, the tribes in the grasslands are poor and their purchasing power cannot be counted on... So the target customer groups can only be the three groups that the Snow Wolf Clan can reach at present: One is to sell it back to St. Bridge, the other is to sell it to the elves, and the third is to see if the sea people are willing to buy it.

In other words, this bonfire party is actually a trade fair...

Honey garlic paste, mixed with honey at a ratio of [-]:[-], put in the altar and put it in a dark place to ferment. The fermentation process is similar to soy sauce, but the time is shorter than soy sauce. It can be made in seven to ten days. After fermentation, it will be bottled , use a spoon to scoop it out and add salt, as long as it is kept away from sunlight and stored in a cool and ventilated place as much as possible, it can be stored for three months to half a year.

In addition to the sauce whose main customers are the elves, there are also bottled vinegar and soy sauce, and bean paste in clay pots the size of fists. A few products are placed on the table, and there is no need for Xiao Yun to sell them hard. General Kleist He took the initiative to ask the price...

Xiao Yun said frankly: "The cost of honey garlic paste is relatively high. If the general doesn't mind, we hope to use gold for settlement. One gram of gold is ten catties, and it can be converted into equivalent copper. Soy sauce can be cheaper, one gram Three hundred catties of gold, one gram of vinegar and one hundred catties of gold can also be converted into equivalent copper. For bean paste, because the production process is more troublesome, we hope it is fifty catties of gold per gram... Canned fruit is easy to say, anyway The raw material is fruit, just exchange the fruit with us, and we will earn some processing fees."

This price was proposed by Xiao Yun after a long time of deliberation. Without precious metals to establish a currency circulation system, it would be difficult to last long only by bartering. And the gold mines in the northern continent are either in the hands of the dragons or the elves... So this business can only be done with elves.

After all, the consumption of honey garlic paste and bean paste is not large, so they can be sold at a slightly higher price. The real sales volume falls on soy sauce and vinegar—these two raw materials are soybeans and water, and they are sold for profit. The higher the output, the higher the cost The lower the price, the more profitable it is... Especially for soy sauce, even if the transportation loss is included in the cost, the net profit is frighteningly high!

General Kleist's slender eyes widened again—one standard gold coin weighs ten grams, and one gold coin can be exchanged for three thousand catties of soy sauce? !Can you exchange a thousand catties of vinegar? !Wouldn't your Snowwolf clan lose money by doing this business? !

"Uh...General?" Xiao Yun, who was full of confidence, saw that Kleist's reaction was not right, and suddenly felt a little uneasy. Did he call the opening price too high?

"Ayun, is this price also agreed by the two patriarchs of your tribe?" General Kleist looked amiable, worried that the cub in front of him would speak indiscriminately without the consent of the patriarch.

"Uh... yes." Xiao Yun bit the bullet and said, thinking for a while to put on a blank face of a junior, "General, is this price unreasonable?"

General Kleist stared at him for a few seconds, picked up the iced canned fruit juice and lowered his head to take a sip—so tangled!It is not in the interests of the elves to take the initiative to help the other party raise the price. As a general of the elves, he can't do this. My conscience is prickling!

What to do!So worrying~!

Xiao Yun is also very generous. Didn't you say that the elves have a wealth of gold reserves? Could it be that unreliable Hai Lin who is just blowing his socks off? !

But asking him to take the initiative to lower the price is not enough~ how can there be such a business!

The two of them just kept silent across the table... The elf warriors at the same table were frightened by their heavy atmosphere, and got up quietly to run away.

The sea breeze blew for a while, and General Kleist raised his hand to straighten his curly hair, and broke the silence with a complicated expression: "In that case... I will send someone back to the tribe to ask the council of elders for advice."

Xiao Yun thought of the Elf Elder Gwendoline who gave him a bunch of gifts for no reason, his complexion didn't change, and he was a little relieved in his heart... If the Doubi Elder were to make the decision, the price shouldn't be pressed too hard.

So after handing over the samples to General Kleist, Xiao Yun relaxed and stayed in the port for a few days... First, he continued to befriend the elf warriors to obtain information about the forest elves, and second, he waited for the Elder Council to send someone. bargain.

General Kleist sent back Hailin and Kai, good friends and partners. I don’t count on Kai’s words, but Xiao Yun taught him how to use sauces for a long time. As friends, the Council of Elders will definitely know that the things in those bottles and jars are good things.

He only waited for five days before the Ananas Council of Elders sent someone.

Of course the elders would not come here in person just to do business with the Snow Wolf Clan, that would be very cheap, so they sent... Elder Gwendoline's disciple, a handsome man, prettier than Yumi, what a pity A female elf mage with green skin and deformed ears.

This female elf mage wearing a white robe came here on a big bird, yes, it was a big, fat bird, as fat as Balk's colorful fur pet, Hearing the elf warrior's call, Xiao Yun ran out of the wooden house and looked up into the air. He wondered how such a fat bird could fly and carried a female elf...

This big bird, which is probably the exclusive mount of the elf mage, hovered over the port, and the female elf mage in white robe jumped off by herself... Halfway through the jump, some invisible force supported her body, slowly Falling slowly, landing gracefully like a little fairy, Xiao Yun's eyelids twitched when he saw it——No, that guy Balk doesn't play wind element magic so lightly at all, the movement is extremely loud, and the emotional guy doesn't slip when playing magic? !

When the little leather boots on the female elf's feet touched the ground, she eagerly asked the elf warriors surrounding her, "Where is the cub of the snow wolf tribe, Ayun?"

This group of soldiers treated Xiao Yun like brothers, and immediately someone called Xiao Yun to come forward.

Xiao Yun pretended to be nervous as a young man, stepped forward cautiously, and when he saw the face of the female elf mage, he naturally showed a surprised expression... When dealing with female clients, you must show that you appreciate one of the other's strengths, When a woman is in a good mood, she can say anything!

The female elf mage's gaze paused on Xiao Yun, and the corner of her mouth twitched invisibly... She really sent a cub out to negotiate a deal, the style of the Snow Wolf Clan is really rough and heroic.

Silently looking away, the female elf suddenly understood Kleist's complicated mood, taking advantage of the cub's ignorance and taking advantage of it... It's embarrassing!

Xiao Yun: "..." What the hell is going on, he pretended to be so harmless, why didn't he agree?

"Take me to see General Kleist." The female elf turned her face away from him, "This...Ayun, please come along too."

Xiao Yun had no choice but to hug the persona and follow restrainedly.

This time, General Kleist strangely did not discuss matters publicly in the lobby, but asked the soldiers on duty to bring the female elf mage and Xiao Yun to his room.

Xiao Yun sat down nervously, pretending to be uneasy and peeking at Kleist and the female elf mage, and specially threw a few eyes at Kleist like a young man looking at an elder...

Kleist, the big-eyed guy, actually looked away guiltily.

Xiao Yun: "..." I misread you!Handsome guys are all bastards!

Three people sat in three single armchairs, each more silent than the other.

"...You go out first, close the door, and don't let anyone approach the corridor." Kleist ordered the soldiers on duty.

"?!" Xiao Yun got off to a good start, wait, the style of your elves is not like this!

The soldier went out, the door closed, followed by the sound of distant footsteps.

Xiao Yun began to ponder over whether he had gone too smoothly for a while, and his vigilance had dropped. If someone did something later, would he turn into a wolf and jump out of the window, or break the door—he didn’t do anything, sorry for the elves thing?How did it get to this point? !What's wrong with you elves! !

Kleist and the female elf mage were still very silent, so silent that Xiao Yun felt sweaty on his forehead, hesitating whether to act first... The female elf mage was finally willing to move, she turned her face away from looking at Xiao Yun, no From where did he pull out a roll of parchment that looked exquisite at first glance: "This is signed by the Ananas Council of Elders...a magic contract with the Snow Wolf Clan. If there is no objection...signatures will be established."

Xiao Yun's face became serious. The magic contract is different from the contract that can be torn at any time. This thing is bound by the so-called "law of language", and the price of breaking the contract is very high. Balck specifically mentioned this to him. ——The Green Dragon Clan borrowed the territory of the forest elves because they had signed a magic contract. The newly born dragon clan must also abide by the agreement in the contract, and they should not mess around with the forest elves who are alone.

If these sharp ears want to play any tricks, it has to be implemented in the terms of the contract.Xiao Yun took the parchment roll seriously, and spread his hands... There is no text in the magic contract, and it uses magic to leave something like "consciousness" on the carrier. The way of "seeing" is similar to accepting the words left by the writer. Idea on vector.

Two minutes later, Xiao Yun raised his head in confusion... The content of the thoughts left on this volume of magic contract is not long. What's the difference, there is no invisible overlord clause at all, it's just retelling his words and leaving them on the parchment in the form of ideas.

Looking left at Kleist, who was bowing his head in deep thought, and right, looking at the female elf mage who turned her face away and pointed her head behind her, Xiao Yun had only one thought tossed in his head——What's wrong with you elves? !
