Chapter 23 Northern Trade Road, Aurora Poetry Festival
On an autumn night, the stars are dotted, and the evening wind is slightly cold.
Lena got off the winter wolf, reached out to stroke its silver fur, and then led it into the village.
When she came to Morning Frost Ridge again, Lena clearly felt that it had changed something from before.
Lena quickly realized that the answer was the road. The road was re-paved and became wider, with many new buildings built on both sides.
Yeats only took office for just a few weeks, but he caused amazing changes in this unknown territory.
The person who came to greet him was an old man who was well-dressed and elegant in manners. He said respectfully:
"I am Derek, the steward. My master has hosted a banquet at the Lord's Mansion. Please come with me." ”
Not long after, the three of them arrived at the Lord’s Mansion.
Lena looked at the slightly shabby mansion and ordered the dwarf and tiger man to stay in the stable to guard their mounts.
The winter wolf is an extremely dangerous frost monster, several times more powerful than the warg. This winter wolf is already in the second ring and needs two people to guard it.
Three mounts were suddenly stuffed into the stable, and it suddenly became a little crowded.
The radish lowered its head and chewed the grass in the trough, then raised its head and caught a glimpse of the grinning winter wolf beside him with disdain in his eyes.
Soon, Carrot spat at Winter Wolf, splashing water all over his face.
The winter wolf was furious and was calmed down by the tiger man and the dwarf for a while before he calmed down.
"As expected of a pure-blooded Roland war horse, he just has a temper." The tiger man said with shame.
"After all, a purebred war horse can follow a Roland knight until he is promoted to the third ring. It is normal to ignore other Warcraft." The dwarf wiped his cold sweat.
Inside the Lord's Mansion.
Banquet Hall.
Lena soon met the lord of Morning Frost Ridge. This handsome aristocratic young man had become sharper and sharper after being baptized by the wind and frost in the past few days.
Immediately, Lena glanced at the back of Yeats, and the surprise in her eyes flashed away.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but I didn't expect that you have recruited a druid as a courtier, young Master Yeats."
Having a rare druid as a courtier is also a noble strength. manifestation.
Hearing the visitor suddenly mentioning herself, Reggie Leif held the staff tightly with both hands and lowered her head under the red hood, looking very nervous.
However, thinking that she represented this Morning Frost Ridge, Reggie Leif slowly raised her head.
Yeats smiled slightly and said: "My courtiers are dining with us, Miss Lena, I hope you don't mind."
Lena laughed and said: "Of course not, I never like eating. Red tape."
"I remember, your name is Gray, right?" She raised her golden hair and looked at the girl with a single ponytail, then casually glanced at Little Red Riding Hood: "And this is..."
"Rigi Leif." Yeats replied, "Grey, you both sit down, get ready for dinner."
"Okay!"
Gray felt awkward just now, but now he was freed. He pulled the nervous Reggie Leif and sat down at the long dining table.
"I heard that I will come in person only if you have a new business to discuss with me." From the throne, Lena looked at Yeats, "I don't know what the specific business is. Talk in person?”
“Please enjoy the snacks first, Miss Lena.”
The servant brought a plate of biscuits, and a small plate of cheese was placed next to the biscuits. A strange smell.
There are blue veins growing on the cheese, and upon closer inspection, they turn out to be blue mold spots.
Lena frowned slightly displeased: "Lord, may I ask what this is?"
"This is the latest cheese developed by Morning Frost Ridge, called Morning Frost Cheese." Yeats explained, "Although the smell is not good, it is a unique delicacy. Miss Lena can try it for herself."
The red-haired wolf girl sniffed lightly again, frowning even more tightly.
“Dip a biscuit into the cheese. This is the most direct way to eat it.” Yeats demonstrated.
Lena's eyes flashed with strong suspicion, and she followed Yeats's way of eating.
The next moment.
Lena's eyes widened, showing shock.
The entrance is rich in milky aroma, with a hint of saltiness. The crispy biscuits contrast with the smooth cheese. The rich taste of this cheese is far better than others!
Her wolf ears twitched subconsciously, she picked up another biscuit, scooped up a large piece of cheese, and put it into her mouth.
The strong flavor blooms in the taste buds. The taste is warm and exciting, and at the end there is a faint aroma of wine lingering on the tip of the tongue.
Yeats promptly reminded: "Morning frost cheese, paired with white wine, can be eaten dry without any problem."
Lena took a sip of the white wine on the table and enjoyed it with the morning frost cheese until the end. Sighed.
If this cheese can be sold on the market, it will definitely open up sales!
Such an idea came to mind, but Lena did not say it clearly. She just nodded and said: "It's amazing how cheese with moldy spots can have such a flavor."
"The following main course is made by me myself. If there are any shortcomings, please feel free to point them out," Yeats said.
"Oh? You made it yourself!" Lena was quite interested.
Soon, a dish of salt-grilled salmon was served to the table.
This is a classic dish in which salmon is wrapped in a salt shell and grilled. When the salt shell cracks under tapping, the rich aroma hits Lena, and the skin of the salmon pieces presents an attractive appearance. The golden color is mouth-watering.
Lena swallowed her saliva, forked a piece of salmon and put it into her mouth.
All of a sudden.
Her ears perked up, her golden pupils widened, and her cheeks turned crimson.
The extremely delicious aroma of salmon, intertwined with the hint of salt, is truly the most delicious grilled salmon I have ever tasted!
It’s amazing that a nobleman has such outstanding attainments in cooking!
"Except for your cooking skills, Miss Lena, can you taste the difference between this salt-roasted salmon and the ordinary one?" Yeats said.
Lena was stunned, pondered for a long time, and said: "What you want to say is...are the salts used different?"
"It saves effort to talk to smart people!" Yeats smiled and got to the point, "This salt and the morning frost cheese just now are the two businesses I want to cooperate with your Chamber of Commerce!"
Lena's eyes lit up with a glimmer of light.
The nobles did not hesitate to spend a lot of gold coins for delicious food.
Sometimes, what they enjoy is not delicious food, but just the sense of superiority highlighted by expensive food.
These two foods developed by Yeats are fully qualified to enter the tables of nobles.
If you can make them into aristocratic delicacies associated with status, you can even earn a huge profit!
Lena made a quick decision and decided to cooperate with Yeats. She immediately said: "I won't ask about the details of the secret recipe. I just want to know where this salt comes from. Why does it always feel so familiar to me?"
“It’s the salt of rock salt worms.” Yeats said truthfully.
Lena's eyes widened: "Halite?!"
The salt of the stone salt worm is completely inedible. How did Yeats turn decay into magic? !
Looking at Lena's burning eyes, Yeats smiled and said nothing, thinking:
"Life players are like this, they don't have to worry about what to use to cook."< br>
The opening of the sales of Morning Frost cheese and rock salt can greatly alleviate the financial pressure of Morning Frost Ridge. For the sake of long-term cooperation, Yeats also offered Lena a very generous discount.
The atmosphere of the banquet was high.
Yeats was able to learn about previous sales of healing potions.
This new type of potion made a breakthrough in the solidified healing potion market, but was quickly suppressed by many chambers of commerce.
In addition, other sales are also sluggish. In order to open up the market, Lena plans to imitate the Golden Lion King and cross the Jueran Mountains.
"However, we are not going to fight, we are going to do business."
Lena took a sip of wine and said: "There are not only orcs in the north, but also half-orcs and half-orcs. Human beings, many tribes have trade relations with the Golden Lion Kingdom.”
"Is it really feasible to trade with barbarians?" Yeats raised doubts.
Lena laughed.
"Don't you know how the merchants' guild started? Many businesses are our old profession, young master!"
Yeats could understand what she meant.
If you dare to buy for zero yuan, you can just eat the black slaves, and slaves can also be sold for money.
"Besides -"
Lena's smile slowly faded, and she said seriously:
"On this trip to the North, I also plan to investigate the news about the cold wave. After all, the North They are also suffering from the cold wave over there.”
“When will we leave?”
“Maybe we can catch the Northern Lights Festival next month.”
Yeats' hand holding the spoon trembled slightly.
"Oh?" Lena narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile, "You seem to be very interested in the poetry festival."
Yeats smiled to hide his inner shock.
More than just interested.
This is a winter activity in "Phantom Wings", related to the promotion of the 'Bard' career!
