Wolf King

Chapter 258

The lion clan was able to build the lion city and gather nearly half of the clan to live together because the lion clan's territorial environment is unique.

The great plains that can be seen everywhere, the pleasant climate, and the fertile land, really sleep in for half a day every day, and spend the rest of the time doing some work, so that you can make yourself fat and strong.

The Dorsey Mountains of Tea Bear are not so pleasant... You can’t find a few pieces of flat ground at all, let alone force it to be fertile. To survive on this land, let alone lazy salted fish, it’s impossible to estimate the direction if you try hard. It is impossible to survive, let alone form a city that can support at least a few thousand people out of work.

Naturally, there are pros and cons to everything. The fertile golden plains breed a group of lazy lions, while the poor mountains and rivers of the Dorsey Mountains, the three races living here are all hard-working.

"The little green vegetables they grow are delicious!"

Wool picked up two vegetable leaves with chopsticks to test the taste. When the leaves entered the mouth, Wool's eyes lit up: "There are no thick veins in the leaves, the taste is crisp and tender, and it is very tasty!"

"I'll give it a try." Rosemary leaned over and tried the chopsticks, and was shocked when she squatted down, "Hey, why is this green vegetable not bitter at all, but also has a sweet taste like Chinese cabbage?"

The tea bear cubs, who were squatting not far away and staring at their group, puffed out their chests triumphantly upon hearing this.

Primo said with a smile: "Don't make a fuss, the tea bears are the race that is best at planting besides the tauren." He raised his finger and pointed to the hillside where the village is located, "Look, the tea bears cultivated land on a hillside that is not too steep. Don’t they look like terraced fields? I didn’t learn this from Ayun, Tea Bear already has such a technique.”

Wool & Rosemary walked a few steps towards the village and looked carefully, only to find that the hillside where the stilted building is located, on which narrow land has been reclaimed and filled with soybeans.

"The mountains in the Doshi Mountains are dense and steep, and it is impossible to develop terraced fields on a large scale like the Dwarf Kingdom. In addition, there is no decent flat land in the entire territory. The talent of the tea bears in planting is not like that. The Tauren are so famous." Primo said with admiration, "Even so, the tea bears can grow so many tea trees, and the tea they produce supplies more than [-]% of the consumption of the entire Bloomfield continent. We know that they are not inferior to the Tauren in this aspect. The top black tea 'Geyu' and 'Amethyst' are both special products of Tea Bear."

"Oh!" Wool nodded knowingly.

"Is it a great skill to be able to grow tea? Tea is not as delicious as soy milk juice." Rosemary was puzzled.

Primo glanced at him, got up and took out a silver coin, went to the group of tea bear cubs and muttered something, one of the tea bear cubs took the money and got up and ran back to the village.

Not long after, the tea bear cub ran back with a pot in his arms and handed it to Primo.

Primo took some charcoal from the fire where the woolen dinner was cooked and built a small fire. He took out an earthen pot filled with water, put it on the fire, and sprinkled the tea leaves on it to make tea.

After the tea was brewed, I filtered out the tea leaves with a net bag, and took out a wax-sealed glass jar from the lizard's back. Removed the sealing wax, unscrewed the bottle cap, scooped out the white sticky liquid with a spoon, and put it in Boil one piece in tea.

Well, in this sealed jar is the product that is going to be sold to the tea bear this time: condensed milk.

Condensed milk is milk and sugar in a ratio of 4:1 (usually 5:1, more sugar has a longer shelf life) and then distilled off most of the water. The shelf life can be longer than milk (it can be stored under seal Half a year, it must be used up within three weeks after opening), but the problem is also obvious, the sweetness is too high, and the Snow Werewolves are not used to it; The hilly new area also produced a batch, mainly selling to the forest elves and snow elves - the dark elves are not too fond of sweets.

After boiling the condensed milk and tea for 3 minutes, Primo signaled for Rosemary to come and taste it.

Rosemary knows that condensed milk is very sweet, so let’s make it. Snow werewolves don’t like it, and cats don’t like it either (cats seem to be lactose intolerant like humans), so the dwarves can After consuming some, he came over slowly and scooped up a little bit with a spoon in distaste.

"Huh?!" After taking a sip of milk tea, Rosemary's expression changed, and she was surprised, "How come, this cloying taste is not greasy after adding tea?"

The lions were originally squatting to watch, and they were not too fond of sweets, and they only wanted to give some face to the soy milk (the lions live in a good condition and are not very short of sugar). Seeing that the snow leopard reacted so strongly, they also came over Taste a few.

"It's really good!" The lion warrior who doesn't like sweets praised, "The bad tea has become delicious."

Hmm... Big cats don't seem to like tea with a slightly astringent taste...

"Ayun used to make milk tea with old tea, and the taste was not as good as new tea. But there is no way, the new tea sold outside is too expensive, and Ayun is reluctant to buy it." Primo took a sip of sweetness from the cup happily The right milk tea, "The only one who has the conditions to ship tea out of the Far East is the Lamia Chamber of Commerce. Lamia is heartbroken."

A lion warrior who tried milk tea thought of something and asked, "Is the Lamia Chamber of Commerce very profitable?"

"Of course, the goods flowing in and out of the Far East have to go through their hands. If Lamia has no money, then there will be no rich people in this world." Primo said casually.

The lion tribe who asked the question was thoughtful, and the eyes of the silent lion next to him flashed.

Primo didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the lions at all, picked up the milk tea pot and a few pottery bowls, and went to share them with the tea bear cubs.

All the cat tribes are very wary, and have a rebellious mentality that is difficult for foreigners to understand. If you tell them to do something, they will either rebel or do foreign work. Anyway, they will never do it for you, so be sure. It has to be guided... This is all the experience Xiao Yun gained from training the big cat. Primo took it and used it, not to mention how easy it is.

Hmm... In the early years, the arrogant Primo absolutely looked down on this kind of sticky behavior, and absolutely looked down on Xiao Yun, a disgraceful person who exudes utilitarianism from the inside out. I am greedy for Lamia's profits, and want to grab Lamia's business, won't I come by myself?What's the matter with trying every means to encourage others to end for you?

Now... I have to say, it feels really cool to make trouble secretly~!

On one side, the Lion Clans were having "small calculations" head to head. On the other side, the tea bear cubs who took the milk tea from Primo stared wide-eyed after taking a sip.

On the grassland, the Snowwolves & Cat Clans did not lack dairy products even when they were the poorest; the lions on the Golden Plain also raised a lot of cattle and sheep, and they vomited from eating milk, cheese and the like.

But the Dorsey Mountains are not suitable for grazing at all, and this place can't afford a small-scale farming. In other words, it is difficult for the aborigines in the Dorsey Mountains to come into contact with dairy products!

It stands to reason that the tea bears who are next to the golden plain can't even drink milk, but...their neighbors are the salted fish lion clan. If there is one of these lions who sells dairy products to the Dorsey Mountains concept, it is not necessary to steal other people's fruits...

People who have never been in contact with dairy products suddenly drink a sip of extremely rich, mellow, sugar-filled condensed milk to make tea. It feels like the door to a new world is slowly opening in front of their eyes...

Four or five tea bear cubs stared round their black and round eyes, and all focused their gaze on the milk tea pot that Primo brought.

"Businessman Primo, you, what do you use to make tea?" the leading older child asked in a hurry.

"Ah, it's a product I brought from the Northern Continent, condensed milk made of milk and sugar." Primo smiled, "You tea bears like sweets, I think you may also be willing to accept this product."

"Accept, accept!" The older child nodded hastily, swallowing, "What's the price of the condensed milk?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, milk is worthless, what's valuable is the sugar added to it." Primo smiled more cordially, "I'll talk to Elder Kuku when he comes."

"Okay!" The older child nodded vigorously, then suddenly turned his head to look at the others, "You guys wait here, I'll go find the elder."

Then the brat rushed out of the village at a speed that didn't match his chubby body like the wind...

So, don't look at these tea bear cubs looking simple and silly, in fact, they are all thieves - obviously there are no adults in the village, but just now they pretended to send someone back to the village to report.

Primo is not surprised by this. It would be strange if the hardworking tea bear adults can squat in the village to rest in broad daylight... Yas and lions are not the same kind of creatures at all!

When Wool finished cooking dinner and greeted the few brats who were drooling over here to eat together, on the other side of the mountain, a group of fatter men were carrying farm tools and carrying baskets, staggering. Go towards the entrance of the village.

The height of this group of adult tea bears is on the same level as that of the snow wolves, but their middle is too thick, and their chubby heads are set off as "tips at both ends", and the linen clothes can't cover their stomachs at all. The belly button is leaking out.

The staple food is vegetarian and fruit can become so fat, it is no one.

What's more ridiculous is that with such a big belly, these tea bears can still travel lightly and nimbly on the mountain trails...

"This year's rain is good, and we can plant another batch of tea trees on the mountain in the east." The leading tea bear held the strap of the basket in one hand and gnawed a fruit in the other, "By the way, the tea trees in Jiguan Mountain should be repaired. Who will take people there later?"

"I'll go, Elder Kuku." Someone responded proactively.

"Okay, you go. Then I will send the new tea to Aalborg, and Lamia's merchant ship should also come." Elder Kuku wiped his face with the back of his hand and turned to look at the team. The cubs bouncing around inside, "Adong, you said that the trader Primo wants to exchange condensed milk for our new tea?"

The cub Adong, who was running and jumping vigorously, hurried to Elder Kuku, moved his short legs to keep up with the adults, raised his head and said, "He didn't say that, but that kind of 'milk tea' is made with The condensed milk is brewed with new tea, and he must want new tea."

The simple-faced Elder Kuku gnawed the fruit, threw the core into the basket on his back, and clapped his hands: "If you want to change it, give it to him. Anyway, Lamia hasn't raised the price of new tea for many years. .”

The new tea produced by Tea Bear is not only sold to other races of the Orc Empire, but also to Lamia who came to buy it.The Far East has a wide climate range, and many places can produce their own green leafy vegetables. The demand for tea is not as strong as that of nomads. Therefore, although the tea bear can save money by selling tea, it is not yet rich...

The average IQ of the Tea Bear is definitely higher than that of the Snow Wolves (uh...), and the farthest place he has been to in his life is only the Elder Kuku of the Tea Bear's own mountain city of Aalborg. After the new tea was shipped to other continents, it was sold at a high price, but the buyer was only the Lamia family, and they had no other choice.

This situation is caused by the unique geographical environment of the Far East: the land part is cut off by the York Mountains at the border with the North Road. off.

If you can’t get there by land, you can only choose the sea route, but the Far East continental plate is too strange, like a lump suddenly popping up on the head of the Bloomfield continent. Even if you start from the nearest northern continent, you need to detour from the open sea.

Ordinary inland ships cannot withstand the wind and waves of the open sea at all. The Cronin Kingdom, which can build large ships across the sea, is also a member of the federation to which Lamia belongs. Lamia snatched food from his mouth.

Going around the mountain ridge, seeing the merchant Primo who came with the Lion Clan, Elder Kuku immediately put on a warm and simple smile on his round face, and waved vigorously: "Long time no see, Primo!"

"Elder Kuku!" Primo was more enthusiastic than him, immediately dropped the plate and trotted up to meet him, "It's been a long time since I saw you, Elder Kuku is much fatter than last year!"

Saying that tea bear is fat is definitely a very polite and polite social vocabulary. Elder Kuku smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes: "Isn't it similar to last year? I heard from Adong that you brought good things this year too?"

"Yes, in addition to the fruit candy we agreed upon, I also brought some condensed milk that is suitable for cooking with tea..."

Primo enthusiastically invited all the tea bears into their temporary camp, and let the wool and rosemary bring the big bone vegetable soup (the wild beast bones caught on the road, the game is generally meaty, the meat is hard and fishy, It is very tasty to boil the soup with bones and pay attention to skim off the foam) to quench the thirst of the tea bears, and immediately started to make milk tea by themselves, showing the magical charm of condensed milk with their own hands.

The small green vegetables and tofu fruit cooked in big bone soup are favorites of the lions, and the response of the tea bear is also good.

While Primo was making tea, an adult tea bear couldn't help asking Wool: "This little yellow cube is so delicious, it's full of soup when you bite into it, what is it?"

"It's deep-fried tofu." Wool was very happy that others liked the food she cooked, and immediately introduced the method of tofu. Fry the skin with vegetable oil until it turns golden yellow and keep it sealed, so it can be stored for a long time without getting damp.

If it is not fried, but fermented until it grows long hairs, then the skin is scorched with sawdust (it can also be deep-fried), and seasonings are added to mix with vegetables, it is stinky tofu.

While Wool was talking, other adult tea bears used their buttocks to drive away Rosemary, who was in the way, and surrounded Wool.

Rosemary, who was almost pushed to the ground: "..."

"What is tofu?" The adult tea bear who started the question asked with a splash of saliva.

"Hey, you have grown so many soybeans, have you ever made tofu?" Wool didn't realize that the only beans he had eaten eight years ago were boiled beans, so he proudly introduced the method of tofu...

When he was in the Lion Clan's territory, Wool taught the wives of the two families how to make tofu. After all, soybeans are the second most common crop in the world after wheat. Soybeans can be grown wherever there are fields.

Beans also have the difference between delicious and bad. For example, soybeans and red beans are still delicious after being cooked, while the hard skin of black beans is still stuck in the throat after being cooked, but if it is soaked and ground into tofu, it is not good. The problem of unpalatable food-as long as you order it into tofu, the taste will be first-class! (Uh, of course, the taste of tofu is different with different materials)

Wool, who was very happy to be a teacher, didn't notice this group of tea bears who looked silly and stupid. He only heard her introduce the method of tofu once, and then he showed his expression... There is no need to repeat it like Xiao Yun taught the snow werewolf back then Teach, people can write down the process after listening to it once!

When Primo finished making the milk tea, these "simple noodle essences" even got the different methods of tofu nao and water tofu from wool, how to make more delicious tofu skin, how to keep longer-lasting dried tofu and tofu fruit tidy……

Primo, who was on the sidelines and had no time to stop: "..."

Just...forget it, anyway, Ayun asked him to come out with a wool that is not bad at the amateur level, and it was originally to gain reputation for the Snow Wolf Clan...

It's just that Primo is still a little unwilling, and it can be exchanged for benefits!You stupid girl just sent it out!

Well, the so-called close ink is black, and the original handsome traveler is the god of war, but he has also been infected with utilitarianism unknowingly.

Tea bears like to drink tea and prefer sugar. The mellow and sweet taste, and the tea made with a pot of condensed milk that can maintain the tea flavor quickly conquered adult tea bears including Elder Kuku.

Elder Kuku grabbed Primo's hand, moved his lips a few times and almost blurted out, inviting the group of people to stay in his village. Fortunately, at a critical moment, he remembered that there was still a lion following Primo, so he held back Impulsive, a pair of round eyes stared at the lion warriors.

The other adult tea bears had a tacit understanding, and they also looked at the lion warriors one by one.

wool:"??"

Rosemary & Primo: "..."

Is the hatred of stealing fruit irreconcilable...

Primo has an idea to get close to the tea bears. The new tea sold to Lamia by these good-tempered fat people (although they hold grudges) is second only to the spice business. If you want to dig into the corner of Lamia , Tea Bear's betrayal... Uh, attitude is very important.

So Primo smiled and said to Elder Kuku: "I can only come here once a year, and the condensed milk I send is so much, it may not be enough for you to consume. In fact, condensed milk is made from sugar and milk boiled dry. Yes, the Lion Clan has kept a lot of cows, and the milk produced is not small, if you can buy condensed milk from the Lion Clan nearby, it will definitely be much more convenient than waiting for me to come."

When he was in Lion City, Primo didn’t mention the condensed milk business at all, because lions don’t like to eat dairy products, and it’s impossible to drive these big cats by talking only when there is no profit.

But if someone takes the initiative to buy condensed milk made of milk from them, for the sake of money, these big cats will have to make a move...

The Snow Wolf Clan is not without profit. Languo's sugar beet planting base has been working for two years and has achieved results. Sending sugar is much easier than sending condensed milk that must be sealed in a jar~!

Sugar can be bagged, as long as the bag is not broken, it will be fine if bumped, but not the jar!

The proud and face-saving lions have already admitted that the Snow Wolf Clan is their friend, and the relationship between the Tea Bear and the Lion Clan is getting closer, and there is no need to talk about whether they can get on the Snow Wolf Clan's boat!

Elder Kuku & the adult tea bears looked stagnant, and the cubs of the tea bears who were eating and drinking showed bitter expressions.

It's really hard to choose between the hatred of stealing fruits accumulated over the years, and the delicious condensed milk for making tea...
