Chapter 246

The aerosol rises and the meat is fragrant."Haha, that's it!" David cheers as he sprinkles a handful of red powder into the pan.
In the cold season, there is nothing more enjoyable than eating a spicy hot pot. Since Joah popularized this method, there has been an immediate craze for eating hot pot. However, the resources of Grey Cloth Armed Force are really limited. The auxiliary vegetables can be replaced by wild vegetables, but it is difficult to do things like sliced meat.
This is also the reason why David and the others immediately became confused when they saw the horses in front of the station. As for why they had to choose Philip's carry, it was because they had eaten this variety before, so they would start without the slightest hesitation.
"Well, hu hu, that's what it tastes like, cool, hu hu... This horse meat is really good!" David ignored the hot pieces of meat, swallowing and commenting.
"Well, after we finish eating, let's go back and drag the remaining horses over." Harry kept nodding, and then rolled his eyes to make suggestions.
"Haha, this can be considered!"
"Strongly agree!"
...Tang En stroked his forehead beside him, how could he feel now To cultivate a bunch of Thief... "Wow, this taste... very good."
Huh? The people who were eating horse meat turned their heads, and saw a young man in luxurious clothes twitching his nose and walking towards them.
Aristocratic? Now the Grey Cloth Armed Force wearing this kind of attire must be the nobles who came to negotiate.
"Hi, everyone, my name is Philip!" After a brief introduction, Philip kept his eyes on the tumbling red soup, "What is this? It looks delicious. !"
Tang En touched his nose: "This is hot pot."
"Hot pot? Never heard of it, but the name is quite appropriate." After that, Philip didn't care. Wearing luxurious clothes, he casually sat on the ground beside Tang En.
"Uh, where's the knife and fork?"
Eisoan members look at each other in dismay, David pouted: "Why give it to you?"
" Uh, don't be like this, I'm a guest anyway!" Philip shrugged said with a slight smile.
Miksu on the side looked indifferent: "There are many kinds of guests, we don't welcome bad guests!"
Philip didn't care, still shrugged and said lightly: "Bad guests are also You have to give me a glass of water to drink, and besides, even if you are a prisoner on a hanging post, you will have a good meal."
David became impatient: "Want to eat? Okay. Take the money to buy it. , a piece of meat and a gold coin!"
Just as Titus officially said that the Grey Cloth Armed Force is a mob, the people of Grey Cloth Armed Force have no good opinion of the nobles. One gold coin and one slice of meat, this is of course absurd, and the meaning of rejection is obvious.
Philip didn't seem to think that this requirement was too much, and said cheerfully: "Ha, I said earlier, this is what it should be!"
Uh, nobles are like this. money? David suddenly had the urge to change one gold coin to two... no, gold coins. In fact, David still underestimated the true value of this horse. This kind of purebred horse is priceless. Even if the average noble wants to buy it, there is no way to find it... But Philip is paying for it. Behind the pocket, he stretched out his empty hand and scratched his hair: "Well, can I owe the debt first? I'll pay you back later."
Of course, Philip is not bad for money, but not bad. On behalf of carrying money, you must know that paying the bills is Steward's job.
"Haha, you're just talking nonsense if you don't have money." David ruthless said with a smile.
"Hey, there you go!" Philip took off the saphire blue ring in his hand and handed it over, "I can take this to pay the bill."
David took it and looked around. Eye: "You want to... eh?"
Harry grabbed him from behind, his eyes shining brightly at the ring, his mind lit at a very fast frequency.
"Stone? This is a sapphire!" Philip opened his mouth and said helplessly.
Aquamarine sapphire, one of the Top Grade diamonds, like Philip's color and purity, coupled with the Master-level craftsmanship of this ring, the market value is at least 50,000 gold coins.
"It's not even a stone!" David curled one's lip, but after seeing Harry's anxious look, he reluctantly nodded: "Okay, this is a metal coin."
Heaven and Earth As a reference, for David, hardware coins are really a huge sum of money.
The calculating Harry in the back was stunned, and then looked at David admiringly, you are ruthless, you are more suitable to be a profiteer than me.
"Hardware coins? Please, why does this cost 50,000 gold coins!" Philip was also shocked by David's domineering bargain, and immediately said dissatisfied.
"Five, five, five, fifty thousand?" David opened his mouth and looked at each other with contempt, "You are insulting my IQ!"
Wipe... Harry burst into tears, and now he feels like his IQ has been shattered!
After some bargaining, the two finally settled for fifteen gold coins. At this point, David kept muttering that Philip had taken advantage of it.
Tang En took a long breath and secretly thought, should I let David take charge of the team's funds... Here, Philip finally got his wish to eat hot pot meat slices.
"Well, um, um..." Things like hot pot are still very lethal to people who eat it at first, Philip is full of praise, "It's delicious, haha, it's so cool, now there are The wine is even better, haha..."
The iron pot is so big, and the meat slices in it will be quickly wiped out if it is less than one person.
"Where's the meat, let's put it in." Philip, who had just been addicted to eating, urged.
"What are you saying, you've already eaten the fifteen slices." David shook his head while taking the horse's leg to cut off the meat.
"Don't, I just ate so much... eh?" Philip, who was pleasing for an excuse, suddenly froze, pointed at the white-haired horse's legs and stammered, "Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Horse..."
"It's not a horse, why don't you eat horse meat?"
"That's my horse!" Philip growled suddenly.
...Eisoan members including Tang En were all stunned, Fuck, do you want to be so accurate, the bitter master came to you so quickly? And they were asking for money just now with someone else's horse... Huo... Philip stood up abruptly, with a changeable situation on his face.
David and the others also got up instantly. At this moment, the dagger had been slid to the cuff for ten years. After all, the horse was killed, and no one knew whether the other party would attack suddenly.
"Good kill! It's so delicious, it's so damn worth it!"
...If it was stunned just now, now Tang En and the others are completely dumbfounded, this Fuck Who in the end..."You slice meat." Leaving this sentence, Philip ran back, "Don't steal it, I'll go get a bottle of wine!"
......this way Philip has been completely out of business, but his role in the negotiating team is always optional, so in the afternoon, the negotiation started as usual.
After the morning's adaptation and running-in, the negotiation at this time is the most likely to yield results. This is exactly the fact. In the afternoon, 70,000 kg of rice, 80,000 kg of flour, and a total of 150,000 kg of grain were initially planned.
Of course, this is only a preliminary draft, and there may be fluctuations in the future due to the choice of other conditions. But in any case, the 100,000 kg of grain and grass are basically about to enter the Grey Cloth Armed Force warehouse.
Losa and the others are satisfied with this result. In fact, their original goal was to get 100,000 kg, but now they suddenly have so much more, they feel like they are being hit by a pie.
As for those old aristocrats, the complexion was a bit complicated, not because of the food, but because of some people.
"Haha, if it's getting dark today, if you don't dislike it, you can stay for dinner before leaving." With such a result, Luo Sha was in a good mood and spoke out to keep the other party.
"Uh, thank you, no need, we'll go after visiting those juniors."
"That's fine, you paid for the visit and the prison visit, hehe... "Losha agreed pleasantly smiled.
The prison visit fee... The corners of the old nobles' eyes twitched, and they couldn't help but glance at the glamorous Joah behind them.
Damn, how did you come up with this idea? We have lived for most of our lives, and we have never heard of a visitation fee... In fact, these old nobles are still very confident about the afternoon negotiation. of. After all, the experience is there, how can it be impossible to talk about these hillbillies.
But soon they discovered that the negotiating pace was completely controlled by the other side, or more precisely, by a young man and woman named Joah and Borg.
The beautiful girl has the same calmness and sharpness as she looks. When negotiating in the afternoon, they are ready to use some usual methods, such as avoiding the important points, or deliberately diverting the topic to disrupt the other party's speech rhythm. This is familiar to them who often participate in parliament. Given a cup of tea, they can even talk for hours without repetition, and of course, there is no substance in it.
But this time it didn't work, because every time at this time, the girl who had not spoken would stand up, or point to the center, and quickly bring the topic back to the negotiation.
This method is undoubtedly rude. If it were any other time, this negotiation would have collapsed long ago. But this time the negotiation is different. The other party is Proficient with absolute initiative. If it breaks down, they will finally repair the relationship painfully, and even pay the price for it.
And this beautiful woman named Joah has a very weird mind. When they asked to visit those unlucky juniors, she actually asked for a visit fee, and also listed a lot of protection, accommodation, For reasons such as food and so on, they finally felt that they couldn’t justify if they didn’t give it… After being disrupted a few times, the young man named Borg took advantage of the situation and told various data in detail, and finally put the food Initial compensation has been settled.
The old nobles also realized their problem at this time, that is, they didn't pay enough attention.
The original excuses for Legion's lack of supplies, food shortages in the north, etc., were blocked by Borg with various rigorous data, and finally made them speechless.
In this situation, it is obvious that the other party has prepared a lot of time for this negotiation. Relatively speaking, they have little understanding of the situation of Grey Cloth Armed Force. After the acquisition plan that started as Assassin's trump card failed, they fell into passive Condition completely.
The afternoon negotiation was only a few hours long, but it was definitely their most painful negotiation experience. When they were stuck with needles, they couldn't remember how many times they took out make a move towel to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.
When they got out of the tent and felt the cold night wind blowing across their faces, they all felt a sense of relief... "Well, here we are, here is it!" Luo Sha pointed to the only person in the station in front of him. wood house road.
Bollette touched the board that was several feet thick, looked at the wood house with no gaps except for a small window, and became furious, "Is this the accommodation you provide? , this is literally the Wild Pig Nest shed."
"Sir Bolette!"
Bowlett eyelids twitched, watching the beautiful girl come out again.
"It's cold in the north, and the Wild Pig Nest shed you're talking about can perfectly resist any cold wind and keep the indoor temperature" Joah's mouth curled slightly, showing a slight smile, "and this is also for safety reasons. , oh, yes, you don't know yet. Three days ago, a group of robbers with bad intentions broke in and even injured the finger of a noble young man. So for this reason, we specially built this absolutely solid wood house to Keep them safe."
"..." When the old nobles heard the girl's accent on the words "You don't know yet", they couldn't help being silent for a while. Of course they know what those "bad robbers" are all about..."Uh, grandfather? Help me, grandfather!"
"Uncle, I can't take it anymore, get me out, wu wu..."
"Speak up, speak up..."
In the small window, there are aristocratic youths, fearful, or weeping bitter tears. Pale face. They couldn't take it anymore, the hut was dark at all times except for the light that appeared every time three meals came in.
No interrogation, no questioning, not even the delivery person said a word. And because it's so closed, there are no cockroaches, mice, ants... at all.
In addition to darkness, it's still darkness. Nothing but silence. Except for the heartbeat, everything here is frozen, even the time... After being locked here for two days, they racked their brains to talk about all their memories, and even some of the incestuous behaviors that hid their hearts and climbed onto the father's mistress' bed are all saying It came out... There is no doubt that it was of course Tang En's idea. Since they can't be devastated, they have to change their minds... Those old nobles can't understand the pain of confinement, they just think that these juniors can't stand this kind of humiliation, so they all comforted them warmly, but they responded to them all. It's a crazy roar.
For a moment, pop—a soldier closed the wooden window expressionlessly, and all the noise disappeared.
The old nobles were stunned for a while, not fully awakening from those deafening roars. Turning his head, looking at the shrugged Luosha, he left without a word.
They know that the other party is impossible to open the wooden window again, of course, except that they are willing to pay the expensive visit fee
