Chapter 128 The Value of the Huoyan Tribe
Chapter 128 The Value of the Huoyan Tribe
The cost of cold-eating rabbits = breeding cost + processing cost + spices + soybean oil, and other things, the cost of soybean oil is really high. After all, the soybeans planted are not genetically modified soybeans specially bred for oil extraction. More than 400 catties of soybeans are planted per acre of land Thirty catties of soybean oil can also be squeezed out. Xiao Yun thought that the price cannot be lowered, but if it is too high, he is worried that the forest elves will not buy it...
As soon as he thought about it, Evelyn took out a roll of parchment and handed it over respectfully with both hands: "Teacher, this is the contract signed by General Kleist, please check if there is any problem. "
Xiao Yun made a beckoning gesture, and Evelyn unfolded it quickly and read: "Today, I signed a cold-eating rabbit purchase contract with Ayun, the snow wolf clan, and the price is [-] gold coins per ton..."
"Wait. Is this price offered by General Kleist?" Xiao Yun asked with a strange expression.
"The bid was made after discussions between several elders of the Council of Elders and General Kleist." Evelyn said.
Thirty gold coins are equal to 15 silver coins, which is equal to 75 copper coins. Thirty gold coins are equivalent to buying a ton of cold-eat rabbits, and the unit price is equal to [-] general-purpose copper coins (weight of two grams) per catty. This price is based on the price of this world. It's a bit expensive, and the forest elves didn't make any money buying it.Xiao Yun was very surprised why these green-skinned pointed ears suddenly became so sincere, and after pondering for a while, he realized that this thing is not just needed for people's livelihood, and the demand is small. When people buy it, it is for their own consumption. A very small part, of course, is willing to give the Snow Wolf clan some sweetness in this regard.
After thinking about these things clearly, Xiao Yun was also straightforward: "Okay, we will do it according to your contract. How many tons will the first batch come first?"
Evelyn smiled: "General Kleist said, ten tons will be enough first."
Ten tons is [-] catties, which is not a "good" amount... But anyway, there are rabbits in the tribe, Xiao Yun quickly agreed, signed the contract and immediately went out to find Qingyan—to kill so many rabbits, The half-day leave of the cubs is cancelled, and all come back to work!
Rabbit meat will shrink after frying, but the amount of shrinkage is nothing compared to the plump grassland gray rabbits raised by alfalfa. The 300 catties that Ananas wants is just a matter of slaughtering thousands of rabbits. More than [-] snow wolf cubs went to battle together, and enough rabbit meat was killed that day, and a large pot was set up in front of the cafeteria to start frying.
The rabbits are raised at home, the dried peppers are grown by ourselves, the soybean oil is squeezed by ourselves, and the sugar used to replace monosodium glutamate is also made by ourselves... Stir-frying and eating rabbits does not take up the time of the chefs in the cafeteria, and the cubs roll up their sleeves You can go to battle with your arms out; the only problem is the sealed container. It’s too late to burn small bottles and cans, so we simply use soy sauce jars instead, and leave it to the forest elves to have a headache. We just need to measure enough. .
At this point, Xiao Yun was still a little resentful: "It's not worthwhile to replace MSG with sugar... Wait, I remember that the earliest MSG was found in kelp? The crystals left after the kelp soup evaporated are sodium glutamate ?”
He slapped his thigh suddenly: "Fuck, this is also a good deal! Why did I miss it!"
He was taken aback by the sweaty wool cooking next to him.
"Wool, watch carefully, I remembered something important, I have to go back and write it down." Xiao Yun handed the spatula to the cub next to him, wiped his hands and walked quickly to the dormitory.
Kelp grows in low-temperature seawater, and it is found on the west coast of the grassland, but wild kelp usually grows on the rocks and gravel of the seabed, and it cannot be harvested without diving into the water. Xiao Yun never thought of this thing... There is no shortage of vegetables in the tribe , Not bad for that vitamin.
But now that he thinks that kelp is also related to the good business of monosodium glutamate, Xiao Yun must not let it go - monosodium glutamate is indeed criticized by many wild health experts in modern times, but let's not forget that the appearance of monosodium glutamate is only It has changed the diet structure of the people on the earth in 100 years~!
When it comes to business in this area, it will always be the taste of the public that has the final say!
After writing this matter down in his notebook, Xiao Yun started touching his chin again...
Ever since he started his business, he never thought about building a monopoly or finding exotic goods to live in.It's not that he doesn't know the benefits of monopoly, but that with the size of the snow wolf clan, you can't afford monopoly operations-children who hold money to cross the market will undoubtedly die. For these high-volume businesses, he gave up part of the profits to share with his partners. Potential enemies have already jumped out to slap you in the face, and can they still give you a chance to grow up?
Although the monosodium glutamate business is good, it can't be supported by the Xuelang family alone, so he has to find a partner.
The partner in front of me is of course the Ananas Forest Elf, but... the soy sauce business has already fed you a lot of meat, and if you send a big fat piece of monosodium glutamate to your door, what if you feed your appetite? ?
The so-called Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu, this is going to cause accidents!
Although the forest elves have shown a very high moral character so far, should Xiao Yun bet that their moral character will always be high?Don't forget that the guy who sneaked up on A Shumu is hiding in the upper floors of Ananas!
"Carlisle is pretty good...but St. Bridge is too far away from us." Xiao Yun shook his head and sighed. St. Bridge is far away. As far as possible, avoid threatening the textile business of the forest elves and dark elves, and avoid conflicts of interest; but there are also disadvantages in being far away, and you can't count on helping each other.
The other two optional cooperation targets on the grassland, first of all, the Tauren can pass—Xiao Yun has no doubt that the Tauren who is dedicated to the people will not care about market interests at all, and can leak the production process of MSG casually. Choose girls to do it together, unless Xiao Yun also wants to be a full-time cross-border and cross-race saint.
The Tiger Clan is a good target for cooperation, but unfortunately, the old and new enmity between the girls and the Snow Wolf Clan has not been resolved, and now they are holding back their energy and trying to make trouble... Wait for the Tiger Clan to be educated more thoroughly, knowing that the weak will want to fight. Only when Xiao Yun has the character of a weak person will he consider going to the door.
As for the snow mountain elves, don't even think about it, they are not very capable.
Why, because the snow elves are so awesome.He is so awesome that the warriors go out to practice both magic and martial arts, the elf king is so domineering and dominates the rivers and lakes, and a snow elf warrior comes to the point where I am king and king. Xiao Yun thinks it is better to stay away from such an awesome character—— Dare to say that the transaction volume of 1000 million is doing business with Ananas, because it is an independent city-state, and the rule of the elf queen belongs to the rule of radiation; as long as the top management of Ananas does not have all their heads broken, they will pay attention to their own interests Higher than the interests of the whole clan, the possibility of aggressively saying "the snow wolf clan will make money, so let's just pull them over and become a family" is much smaller than that of the snow elves...
This winter, when the snow elf fighters Ed and Xiu came to the door, Xiao Yun sent them away with a total transaction volume of hundreds of thousands of catties. He didn't pretend to be 1000 million at all... It also depends on the target!
The snow elves only bought the soy sauce, vinegar, barbecue sauce, and vermicelli that their family needed, which also showed that they had no intention of reselling them at all.
Facing such a domineering snow elf, you come to the door and say that someone wants to talk to you about a big business that affects the diet structure of people in the whole continent and the world. Is this different from washing and packing your house and sending it to someone else's bed?
Sighing and closing the notebook, Xiao Yun, who has the character of a weak person, said forcefully, "Seal it up first...we can talk when we have a suitable cooperation target."
Crying and yelling that the weak have human rights, Xiao Yun will not commit such a youthful disease. Since he does not have the ability to move stones into the sky, it is only proper to use his brains to improve his own situation.
"Speaking of which, the soldiers have been training for almost two months." Walking out of the room and looking at the ice and snow outside, Xiao Yun touched his chin again, "It's almost time for armed training. For military training, the way to learn PLA is right. "
A certain cub said so... A few days later, 188 cubs appeared on the frozen Brai River, all wrapped in thick fur clothing, carrying huge cowhide backpacks, stepping on skis and skates, with hands on their hands. A snow wolf warrior with a waist sword and a long spear, a short spear, a wide back machete and other weapons.
The snow was very heavy, and the cold wind wrapped in snowflakes desperately hit the soldiers' skin exposed outside the hats and masks. Ice crystals hung on the eyelashes and eyebrows, and even a layer of ice was frozen on the masks that had been exhaling.
Ayan was so cold that his whole body was almost unconscious, and his knees could hardly be bent. One accidentally slipped and fell to the ground, and slid on the ice for more than ten meters. Only then did he stop his out-of-control figure.
"Ayan!" Yu pulled off his mask and shouted, and quickly slid up to help, and it took a long time to pull Ayan from the ice.
"Huh...I'm so tired...Maomao...I can't slide anymore..." Ah Yan's face was pale, and she couldn't straighten up due to panting.
"Everyone is exhausted, let's take a break." Xiaohua slid over slowly, looked at Ayan's face, and suggested to Yu.
Yu glanced to the east, he was a little dissatisfied with today's progress, but looking at the soldiers, besides Ah Yan, several people's legs were trembling, so he had to nod.
Building an igloo in the wild is something even cubs can do now, so the soldiers are naturally better at it.Some soldiers burned firewood smeared with rabbit fat to melt the snow water, and some soldiers squatted by the river and dug through the thick ice to catch fish. When the igloo on the bank was formed, the fish boiled in the iron pot was almost cooked.
"I don't have time to fry fish pieces. Be careful with the fishbone when you eat." Xiao Hua distributed the fish soup to the young soldiers who were as immobile as A Yan. "We should be able to reach the mangrove highlands by the afternoon. Then there will be something delicious to eat.”
Normally, Ah Yan would definitely complain about one or two things, but now he was really weak, holding up the soup bowl tremblingly, and then calmed down after filling half a bowl: "I'm so cold... Ah Yun is too much, it's so cold The weather also drove us out."
An elite warrior who originally lived in the middle of the grassland next to him smiled: "Fortunately, in the past, our tribe lacked food in winter, and came out to hunt only wrapped in a layer of animal skin. This "zilian" also prepared food for us to bring out. It’s good enough to wear such warm clothes.”
"Yeah, you can still drink such delicious soup outside. It would be nice to bring some salt when you go hunting in the past." Another elite soldier said lazily.
"Don't pick and choose, Ah Yi's clansmen are locked up in the east, and we don't know if they will be able to eat enough in this weather." Ah Tian stretched out his hand and scraped Ah Yan's scalp.
Ah Yan scratched her head in embarrassment: "I just blamed Ah Yun casually, so stop talking about me so seriously."
Several soldiers laughed, it turned out that Ah Tian, who was from the same tribe as Ah Yan, shaved off his scalp again in embarrassment—all the young people from other tribes combined did not talk as much as you!
"The water is boiling, go into the igloo to soak your feet, and the first team will go in first." Yu shouted who was guarding the bonfire.
It’s Ayun’s idea to soak your feet in hot water to restore body temperature when you’re too cold. The soldiers tried it twice and found that it was really useful, so they enjoyed it... There is no condition for taking a hot bath. You only need to bring a few big A little copper basin will do.
188 fighters, except Yu and Xiaohua who served as the captain and vice-captain, the 186 fighters were divided into six squadrons, [-] teams, each team had six people, and an elite soldier served as the team leader; It is similar to the team habit of snow wolf warriors when patrolling and hunting. In the long-term hunting life, the snow wolf warriors instinctively explored the most suitable "wolf pack tactics" for themselves: one person confronts the enemy head-on, four people attack from the left and right flanks, The last one walks around, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it will be full of faces in the face of this attack mode that is staggered and progressive in all directions.
As for enemies who are not very powerful... they can be dealt with anyway.If you can't catch up, let's talk about it.
After resting for two hours, young fighters like Ayan recovered [-]% to [-]% of their physical strength, and the team set off again.Using skis on the snow and ice skates on the ice, the speed of the team is not uncommon. After a week of departure, they entered the core area of the central grassland.
That night, the team chose a frozen swamp to spend the night.
"The task given by Ayun is to contact more than five tribes to pass on friendly messages. At the current speed, I think we can try to break through the mission goal and contact as many tribes as possible."
In the igloo, Yu and Xiaohua called six squadron leaders to meet and discuss the next move.
"Okay." The six squadron leaders were all the elite among the elite. After hearing Yu's plan, the eyes of the six lit up and they nodded hastily.
"Our tribe used to live in this area, and I know where several tribes around live together." A squadron leader eagerly said.
"Don't worry, you know where the tribe is, and you have to think about how to convince others and win their trust." Yu raised his hand to stop, "You guys have read all the manuals given by Ayun, who has the confidence to do what it says? Those of us can divide into three groups and contact the three companies at the same time, I can lead one side, and you two will lead the team."
The six squadron leaders immediately shut their mouths tightly, and Xiao Hua moved her butt a little away from Yu secretly, for fear of being named...
"Someone has to be in charge of persuasion. If I don't take the initiative, I'll order casually?" Yu said helplessly.
Xiaohua knew very well that she couldn't escape the precipice when Zhenyu called her name, so she hurriedly said: "Why don't you just let anyone lead the team, and if you want to persuade, find someone from among the soldiers? Ah Yan is quite good at talking, I think let him It’s appropriate to do this.”
"Yes, yes, yes, there must be someone among the soldiers who is good at this." The squadron leaders nodded in unison.
feather:"……"
Yu once again found that it was not unreasonable for Ayun to keep a close eye on him, Hongye and Languo's study progress. Leadership work is indeed difficult...
"Okay, let's find someone from among the soldiers." Yu cheered up and said, "But those of us who lead the team can't just ignore what we say, we still have to watch, some things still need us to say, such as How to arrange the work, how to provide the necessities of life, and the care of the cubs and the elderly... The details should be clearly explained to make others feel at ease. If you go to join us, we have to understand that people will feel uneasy in their hearts, and let people know what places in our tribe are trustworthy..."
Xiaohua secretly sighed. In the past, Yu was not very talkative, and people often forgot his existence; ever since he started leading the warrior team, Yu has become more and more verbose.
Two days later, in the coldest weather in winter, the tribes who stayed at home began to welcome guests from afar...
In the city of Ananas, General Kleist greeted ten cylinders of the original cold-eat rabbit with a smile on his face. He kept two cylinders for himself and his soldiers, and sent two cylinders to another general, and then gave them to the person in charge. The city material management department sent two jars, and several local elders who finalized the business with him arranged two jars, and the last two jars of cold-eat rabbits were sent to the council of elders.
General Kleist is obviously expressing dissatisfaction with Elder Gwendolyn, who has the most say in the Council of Elders... Last year's fan trade really angered this good-tempered general.
Regarding this, Elder Gwendolyn just smiled indifferently, packed one tank and sent it to Stephens to dedicate to the queen, and kept the other tank in the parliament, and she resolved the matter lightly.
Elder Gwendolyn was also expressing her opinion. Anas is the queen's city, and offering gifts is a perfectly normal thing. No one dares to confront her on this point.
Of course, she also tacitly agreed that Ananas should keep her own interests... On this point, she would not be so stupid as to mess with the local party.
The study room with a constant temperature magic circle is as warm as spring. Elder Gwendoline put down the new issue of "Travel to the Mainland" after enjoying the afternoon tea comfortably, and tapped his fingers on the armrest a few times to guess the snow wolf. The deep meaning of the family's actions.
Her tentative behavior was seen through by the snow wolves and guessed that her "enemy" was lurking on the side. This did not surprise Elder Gwendolyn, and she didn't care; human nobles would cut off the pet's claws if they kept pets. If the Snowwolves want to borrow the "momentum" they need to live in peace from the forest elves, of course they need to lie down and expose their bellies.
"...The patriarch of the Huoyan Tribe is really good." Elder Gwendolyn commented with approval.
After being tempted, I did not rush to be ashamed and angry, but vigilantly discovered my own situation and adjusted my external strategy. I used methods that would not expand conflicts and lead me into crisis to express my potential value, strive to be recognized squarely, and try my best to avoid being regarded as possible. The negligible weeds were trampled, and this kind of response was also quite excellent in Gwendolyn's opinion.
From the very beginning, Elder Gwendolyn looked at this snow wolf tribe who took the initiative to do business with the elves differently from other people——General Kleist and Evelyn would pay more attention because of the price of the snow wolf tribe. She will not feel that she is taking advantage of others because she is cheap, because she can see that the Huoyan Tribe gave up their profits in order to seek protection.
The friendship of the forest elves is not cheap, and this level of profit sharing is taken for granted.
And now, Elder Gwendoline's opinion of the Snow Wolf Clan is much better than before... It is true that the current Huoyan Clan is just a seed that has just germinated, but they have indeed reflected their potential and value, so that Gwendolyn's witty and clever performance will naturally get a positive evaluation here.
"What level of bet do you want to bet..." Elder Gwendolyn picked up the teacup and took a sip gracefully. His eyes fell into the void, and he began to think about the existing capital of the Snow Wolf tribe.
On the other side of the inner sea, the ice-free port Valentine.
Isaac, who was struggling with dealing with intelligence agents, finally recruited several members to settle in the stronghold one after another, and solved the manpower problem of starting the adventure after the beginning of spring. Isaac was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy the rare time of ease.
Valentine's most popular vocabulary this month besides cold eating rabbit is gourmet hunter. The threshold of the Hunter Association's branch in the city was almost trampled. Posting an announcement, declaring that the Hunter Association has never had gourmet hunters, and no snow wolf hunters who are good at cooking have won the association badge. It was made a joke... Isaac also laughed wildly for 5 minutes after hearing this. Yes, the professional badge of the Hunter Association is not a secret. Even thieves can obtain the treasure hunter professional badge from them. If there are really gourmet hunters, there is no need to hide it.
Compared with everyone’s favorite gourmet hunter’s travel notes, Isaac actually prefers the Elven Ranger’s article. He even bought a new travel book and sealed it in his backpack, planning to retire to buy a cheap mountain in the future. Landlords—the flatter land in the Southern Continent has owners, and it is very expensive. The price of mountain land is only one-tenth of that of flat land.
Sitting in the room and re-reading the travel notes of the elf ranger, Isaac once again had the idea of inviting the snow wolves to join the team...but it was just a thought, he saw so many people thrown on the beach by the cub Nanfeng , I don’t want to feel it myself.
While watching happily, the sound of rumbling footsteps came from the corridor.This sound sounds like Arnold the dwarf, only he walks so lightly.
Sure enough, with a bang, Arnold pushed the door of his room open. The short-legged short-legged dwarf with a dreadful personality slammed a brand-new thick book into Isaac's face: "I snatched it!" It’s time for the new issue of travel notes, Isaac, read me the story of the gourmet hunter, and see if this chapter tells me who he is!”
"The travel diary is out?" Alex, who had very sharp ears, ran over from the next room.
"Don't snatch it, idiot, you can't read!" Arnold slapped Alex's claws away, and persistently hit the tip of Isaac's nose, "I managed to snatch it. Boss and cook, it’s useless to squeeze in!”
"Okay, okay, I'll read it to you." Isaac took the book dumbfounded, and he was also curious whether this issue of Elven Ranger Kleist would have better teaching on agriculture.
The author has something to say: Note: The chemical name of monosodium glutamate is sodium glutamate. Glutamic acid is a kind of amino acid.
They sell yogurt and advertise that they contain amino acids _(:з」∠)_
_(:з」∠)_
Note 2: For people like Ayun and Elder Gwendolyn, the so-called enemies and friends only look at whether the interests of the two parties conflict within a certain period of time. It's like, it doesn't exist... I think they are evenly matched, and Ayun's fight will be more exciting after he walks out of the grassland.
