Chapter 1134 The deal with Yalvet
Affected by the environmental climate, currently the only places in the entire Great Zhou where the lizard people can live for a long time and work stably are the southern border and the volcanic island.
Except for the fact that some lizardmen are not qualified for certain tasks due to racial ability restrictions, this wave of transfers is enough for Zhou Xu to mobilize a lot of labor to contribute to the construction of their first railway in the Great Zhou Dynasty. .
Zhou Xu had just finished arranging things here. As soon as he turned around, an elf knight came to inform him that Yalvet wanted to see him for something.
Hearing the news, Zhou Xu, who subconsciously thought there was something wrong with the fetus in Yalvette's belly, rushed to the other party's courtyard and was speechless.
"So, you are looking for me in such a hurry just to buy food from me?"
"Otherwise?"
I don't know if it is because you have stayed in Dazhou for a long time, but now Yaer Weite's words and deeds were obviously influenced by them.
When he talks, he doesn’t sound like an ancient person at all.
“Although our female warrior clan also has the ability to produce food, it is relatively average. Every winter, the internal food supply will be relatively tight. In addition, the war with the greenskins in the past few years has severely depleted the stored food. I think You have plenty of food in the Great Zhou Dynasty and want to buy some to fill the granary.”
The grain stored in the granary can be said to be important reserve materials. Once any natural or man-made disaster occurs, such as the wars in previous years, these reserve materials will come in handy to help them tide over the difficulties more calmly.
On the other hand, if they had not stored food in the granary at that time, the entire situation would undoubtedly have become much more difficult, and it might even directly lead to an outbreak of internal and external troubles
Ya Although Ervette's ability in domestic affairs is average, she is still aware of this kind of thing.
During this period of time, she stayed in the palace here with nothing to do. She simply looked at Dazhou in front of her and thought about the development and construction of their female warrior clan, and then she happened to think of this problem, so I asked someone to notify Zhou Xu. After all, she has always been an activist...
This left Zhou Xu speechless. He thought something had happened!
Seeing Yalvette's incomprehensible look at this moment, Zhou Xu was even more speechless. He snatched the cup from the other party's hand and drank the milk tea in it.
“This is mine!”
Yalvette emphasized with some displeasure.
Hearing this, Zhou Xu glanced at the warm pot next to the oven.
"Isn't there a big pot here? By the way, if you drink too much of this thing, you will get fat. Don't blame me for not warning you."
While talking, Zhou Xu casually handed the empty cup to the female warrior standing beside him.
The female warrior took the cup without much thought. She added pearls and scooped out the milk tea. She made two cups of milk tea very skillfully and placed them on Zhou Xu and Yaerwei respectively. In front of special.
This is their new hot drink in Dazhou this winter. To put it simply, it is yak milk and tea, and then put some powder balls and sugar in it. It is a cup of pearl milk tea with very serious ingredients and absolutely zero additives. That's it.
However, yak milk is still very high in fat, and you will still gain weight if you drink too much.
But Yalvette has become very addicted to pearl milk tea recently. She can drink a pot of it in a day, so Zhou Xu couldn't help but remind her.
Yalvette didn't take it seriously and didn't take it seriously at all.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu obviously had no intention of saying anything more and directly turned the topic to business.
“Let’s get down to business, you want to buy grain from me? What do you use to buy it from me?”
Speaking of war, they were also fighting a few years ago in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they also used up a lot of grain reserves. , at this moment, granaries in many places are in the process of restocking grain.
The female warrior clan has a population of tens of thousands. If Yalvette wants to stock up on food, it will definitely not be a small number.
Although the two of them are about to have a second child, from the beginning, everyone has a clear purpose. It is a cooperative relationship and everyone gets what they need. It is obviously impossible for Zhou Xu to give it to her for nothing.
Yalvite was undoubtedly prepared for this.
“I have a piece of mage equipment in my hand.”
When he heard that there was mage equipment, Zhou Xu suddenly became a little interested. Not only because of the function of the equipment itself, but also because after getting it, he can conduct research and obtain results!
“What equipment? What is its function?”
"That's a trophy my grandmother got in a war, a magic bracelet. As for its function."
Speaking of this, Yalvite's voice was obviously a little weak. .
“I’m not sure.”
“…”
"You know, our female warrior tribe doesn't have mages, and we haven't researched mages' equipment, so we can't use them at all. But don't you mages like to study this kind of thing?"
Zhou Xu originally wanted to chop it off. The price came up, but Yalvite changed the subject, making him clearly feel that the other party was not that easy to fool.
But he quickly found a breakthrough from other aspects.
"Research is research, but if you don't even know the function, what if the effect is worthless?"
It is really difficult for Yalvet to refute this.
"How much food do you want?"
Yalvite reported a number, and Zhou Xu shook his head after listening.
“With just a magic bracelet that I can’t even determine whether it’s useful or not, I can’t give you back that much food.”
Hearing this, Yalvette hesitated After a moment, he then spoke...
"I still have some scattered mantra characters in my hand, I can add them all."
"How many are they? What are they?"
"Probably, eight or nine? As for what they are..."
Yalvette roughly mentioned a few, and remembered many of them. Not sure.
“Can’t you even remember which mantra characters you have?”
Zhou Xu was speechless.
Unexpectedly, Yalvette was even more speechless.
"I can't use it, so why remember that?"
Yalvette said this confidently, and she really didn't care about those mantra characters.
I don’t know if it’s due to their bloodline, but most of the mantras they have as a female warrior clan are not compatible with each other. The mantras they obtained in the past, as long as they can be combined into phrases, were used by them to trade with surrounding forces in exchange for resources.
If you can successfully form a phrase, or even a complete mantra, its value can be doubled. On the contrary, individual mantra characters, if they are scattered and mismatched, are often the least likely to be paired most of the time. valuable.
Because if you hold a mantra character, it is very likely that you will not be able to come up with a usable combination until your death.
This is also the main reason why these mantra characters have not been traded yet. The female warrior tribe intends to trade them after they increase in value.
Nowadays, due to the food problem, Yalvet simply put all these mantra characters on the trading table.
During this period, for Zhou Xu, compared to the food that is constantly being produced every year, mantra characters are still sold at a high price here, let alone a piece of magic equipment.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xu also said "deal" very simply.
