In the tent, there were two young and beautiful prairie maidens, dressed in a predominantly red prairie robe, kneeling at the table, one of them skillfully sliced the neat strips of mutton from the roasted whole lamb with a handful of silver islands, and put it down in a smooth white porcelain plate, while the other steppe maiden was responsible for delivering the mutton to Carré and his party.

Sitting cross-legged at a wooden table, Carré listened to the conversation between Mars and Turba as he enjoyed the delicious food of the steppe.

"Brother Mars, you have come from afar, I will toast you again!" Turba took a full glass of milky milk wine and drank it very heroically, then tilted the glass to Mars to indicate that there was not a drop of wine left in the glass.

"Brother Turkba, that's so kind!" Mars also drank it all, and Turba drank it all in one gulp, so naturally he couldn't just take a sip of wine.

The girl kneeling at the table immediately picked up the bronze wine container and filled it again for Mars and Turba.

Feeling that the wine was almost drunk, Turba wiped the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, and pretended to ask casually: "Brother Mars, I don't know how many furs I want to buy when I come to our Wild Wolf tribe this time!" ”

Mars felt a pang in his heart, put down the wine glass in his hand, and knew that business was coming, but it was not the first time he had made an acquisition, so he immediately said calmly: "Brother Turkba, you must have also seen the scale of my caravan, and the fur acquired will naturally satisfy you!" ”

Immediately, he made a gesture to Turba, and said with a smile: "This number, seven thousand gold coins, how!" ”

Carré did give him 10,000 gold coins to buy furs, but hiring mercenaries to escort him and renting transportation from the Chamber of Commerce required a lot of expenses, and after buying furs, if he wanted to sell the furs for a good price, he had to invite someone to drink and eat.

Out of 10,000 gold coins, 7,000 gold coins can be used to buy furs, and Mars has done his best.

"Seven thousand gold coins!" Turba was happy in his heart, the business of 7,000 gold coins may not be encountered once a year, and if this business can be completed, the commission he will get will definitely not be less.

"The Mars brothers are really generous!" Turka flattered Mars and continued: "I don't know what kind of fur you want to buy!" ”

"Red wolf skin, bighorn black sheepskin, of course, if there is a green steppe tiger skin, I will definitely give you a good price!" Mars took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

Red wolf skin and bighorn black sheepskin are both medium furs in the fur market, and they are also the most common ones he used to buy, and he naturally has many ways to sell this kind of fur, as for the green steppe tiger skin, he just asked, and he didn't have any expectations in his heart.

The green-striped steppe tiger is an extremely rare beast on the Nurha grassland, with average strength, and it is only the strength of a black iron five-star warrior when it becomes an adult, but its fur is very soft and smooth, and it will exude a faint grass fragrance, and smelling this fragrance for a long time is very beneficial to whitening the skin.

Due to the beauty of its appearance and its special effect on the skin, this fur has always been loved by aristocratic women, but it is a pity that the green-striped steppe tiger is too scarce, and less than 10,000 of this tiger skin flow out of the Nurha steppe every year.

"Red wolf skins and big-horned black sheepskins are easy to handle, as for the green-striped steppe tiger, although our tribe has a few pieces, they will not be sold to the caravan at all, they are all sold every year when they go out to buy supplies and take them to the major empires, and in a few days it will be the time for the tribe to go out." Turba said with a wry smile on his face, shrugging his shoulders.

Hearing Turba's words, Carré's eyes froze, and the corners of his mouth drew an elegant arc, making the faces of the two steppe girls next to him turn red and their cheeks hot.

Every year, the tribes of the Nurha steppes regularly visit the empires to buy a variety of supplies, such as long-range weapons such as crossbow arrows, or silk and cloth that are popular with the women of the steppe tribes.

This kind of thing is naturally known to Kalei, which is also indispensable in his follow-up plan to the northern frontier of the Jialan Empire, the Yewofu tribe is located in the hinterland of the Nurha steppe, more than 13,000 miles away from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, but it is also 13,400 li away from the Jialan Empire, the Yewofu tribe is very likely to go to the Jialan Empire when they go out to buy furs, even if they don't go to Kare, they don't worry, it's a big deal that he changes tribes, and eventually some tribes will go to the Jialan Empire, and when the time comes, follow the tribe out team to easily reach the northern frontier of the Jialan Empire.

"I can't help the green steppe tiger skin, but on the red wolf skin and the bighorn black sheepskin, I definitely give my brother the biggest discount!" Turba patted his chest and looked very heroic: "Two gold coins for a red wolf skin, two three gold coins for a big horned black sheepskin, how!" ”

Mars picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip of milk wine, shook his head, and said with a smile: "This price is not cheap, Brother Turkba, I have to swallow the fur of seven thousand gold coins in one bite, this price is a bit high!" ”

The price of this kind of fur is indeed very cheap if it is very close to some tribes in Austria-Hungary, but this wild wolf tribe is deep in the hinterland of the Nurha steppe, and the distance from the major empires bordering the steppe is very far away, correspondingly, the price of fur should be the lowest among the steppe tribes.

But there are also benefits in the deep hinterland of the Nurha steppe, all kinds of materials are very abundant, and the materials harvested by the Yewufu tribe every year far exceed the eagle-level tribes of the same level on the periphery of the steppe.

Turba proposed this price, probably to see if he Mars was proficient in the fur buying business, and if Mars was a newcomer, he was afraid that he would be slaughtered by Turba.

"It seems that the brother is a man who understands, but I am a fool" Seeing that Mars is an old fritter who is very proficient in fur buying, Turka did not feel embarrassed at all, but laughed heartily, "Brother Mars, then you name a price, as long as it is reasonable, I will definitely agree without saying a word." ”

"A red wolf skin plus a bighorned black goatskin, two gold coins, how!" Marsmo rubbed the stubble on his chin and said with a smile, "I know this price is indeed a bit low, but now is the off-season for fur purchases, and the Turkba brothers must have not opened for a while!" ”

After speaking, Mars looked confident, and slowly sipped the milk wine in the glass, as if expecting Turba to agree to him, while his heart was beating wildly, and the palm holding the wine glass became more and more forceful, and the green tendons under the skin were revealed.

I must say yes! Mars shouted frantically in his heart, if he succeeded in the acquisition at this price and returned to Cree, he would be able to sell it for 20,000 gold coins, or even more!

20,000 gold coins is a huge wealth for him, but for William, who doesn't care about giving him 10,000 gold coins, or the Augustus family, it is nothing at all, but 10,000 gold coins is doubled, which means that his ability is the capital that can become the fur spokesman of the Augustus family.

The acquisition was at stake for him, and Mars was so nervous that he could hear his heartbeat in his chest, but he was still able to keep his face peeled after years of traveling.

"Two gold coins!" Turka hesitated in his heart, this kind of price is very close to the bottom line set by the tribe's high-level leaders, and it can indeed be sold, but at this price, he can't get any oil and water, but if he doesn't sell it, once the tribe's high-level knows, he won't have any good fruit to eat.

And Mars was right, it was the off-season for fur buying, and there were no merchants going deep into the hinterland of the Nurha tribe to buy furs, and Mars was the first fur merchant he met this month.

Seeing Turba's somewhat hesitant eyes, Mars knew that this price should be the bottom line price set by the Wild Wolf tribe, picked up the wine container and poured a glass of wine for Turba, personally brought it to Turba's hand, and said quickly in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as the business can be successful, I will naturally not let you suffer!" ”

After saying that, he raised a finger and drew a pen towards Turba!

"One hundred gold coins!" Turba's heart sank, swallowed his saliva, and then smiled and said, "Okay, since the Mars brothers said so, this is the price!" ”

Privately accepting bribes from merchants, if someone finds out, not to mention the fat of losing the tribe's materials and selling people, it is estimated that it will not be a good end for him, but he has always been very cautious in collecting bribes, and only accepts one bribe a year at most, and it does not harm the interests of the tribe.

"Thank you, Brother Turba! Cheers! Mars laughed heartily, raised his glass and toasted Turba's glass of wine, drinking the slightly fishy milk wine, Marsle's eyes narrowed into a line, he Mars was finally going to become a big man that everyone admired.

"Cheers!" Turba drank it all, and his heart was also very happy, he negotiated a big deal, and he was able to leave a good impression on the tribe, and this Mars was also very good at being a man, and he did not lose anything.

After the meal, Carré and his party, led by two steppe maidens, walked to the tent where they were entertained, and let them rest and recharge their energy for the evening bonfire feast to celebrate the bride of the tribal chief, while Mars and Turka continued to discuss some matters related to the fur business.

In the tent, the two prairie girls were cleaning up the dust that had accumulated slightly in the house, and at the same time, while Carley was not paying attention, they secretly glanced at Carley, who had a slender body, fair skin, and handsome facial features, and Carré had an incomparable attraction to girls like them, especially when they took care of the five big and three coarse, and the skin was dark and rough because of the long sun exposure.

"Wei ...... William, we're done cleaning, you and Sister Lina should rest first, and if you need to, ring this bell, and we'll be outside the door! When the two girls had finished cleaning, one of them looked up at Carré and stammered.

"There's no need to rest, I'm not very tired!" Carré stared at the two prairie girls and said with a smile: "I just feel a little unbalanced in my heart, you all know my name, but I don't know anything about the two of you." ”

The two prairie maidens were actually very beautiful, with handsome faces, and their skin was wheat-colored from prolonged exposure to the sun, but it added a touch of wild beauty to them.

"Huh!" One of the prairie girls screamed in surprise, her cheeks covered with two beautiful flushes, and then she quickly lowered her head, pinched the corner of her clothes and whispered, "I...... My name is Dolma, her name is Jiya, we are half-sisters, and we are just fifteen years old this year! ”

With a sneer, Delina stepped forward and pinched Zhuoma's somewhat fat face, and said with a smile: "Are the prairie girls as cute as you!" ”

Dolma and Jiya's faces turned even redder, and they lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Carré, but then, under the superb conversation skills of Delina and Carré, they were no longer nervous, and chatted happily with Delina and Carré, laughing like silver bells from time to time, although their cheeks were still hot and their faces were blushing when they occasionally looked at Carré.

In the conversation with the two maidens, Carré did not take much effort to learn some of the information he needed, which was undoubtedly good news for him.

The Wild Wolf tribe should go out to buy supplies in a week, and it is the Jialan Empire that is going to the empire, and the father of these two girls is a member of the outgoing army, and he can be regarded as a small leader.

Knowing this, Carré knew that it should not be difficult to follow the people of the Wild Wolf tribe to the Empire, and the only thing left was to find an excuse to stay in the Wild Wolf tribe, and for him with strict planning, this excuse he had already thought of before leaving the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

While chatting with Dolma and Kia, Mars walked in with a smile on his face, seeing that Mars seemed to be about to say something to Carré, Dolma and Kia smiled and left.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Mars immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "My lord, the matter of the purchase of furs has been negotiated, three thousand five hundred red wolf skins and three thousand five hundred large-horned black sheepskins, but because the concubine of the patriarch of the Yewufu tribe has come of age, the tribe will celebrate for three days, and the furs will be shipped in about three days." ”

Sitting on the wooden chair, Carré nodded, and said lightly: "You have done a good job in this matter, and you have a very accurate grasp of the price of fur, but if you want to become the spokesperson of our Augustus family, it depends on whether you can sell the fur for a good price!" ”

"My lord, this is definitely not difficult, the war between the empire and the Jialan Empire is fierce and anxious, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down within three years, red wolf skin is a good material for making all kinds of leather armor, especially mass production leather armor, and the big horn black goat skin has an excellent warming effect, and it is also very wear-resistant......"

Before Mars could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Carré's wave, and suddenly understood in his heart that the accuracy of the fur he bought still depended on the market, and it was useless to talk about the skyscrapers here.

"By the way, after purchasing the furs, you go back and sell the furs first, and I will stay in the Wild Wolf tribe for the time being!" Carré said lightly.

"Stay here, my lord, although the Wild Wolf tribe is an eagle-level tribe, it's not safe to stay here!" Mars was surprised at first, and then quickly admonished, a drop of sweat oozing from his head.

If something happens to this first in line to the Augustus family, he will definitely not be able to get out of it, and the consequences will definitely be worse than death.

"You don't have to worry about my comfort, unless King Wu makes a move, otherwise I will be fine, the family's foray into the fur business is not a small fight like you, you must find a stable source of supply, I stayed in the grassland for this!" Carré waved his hand impatiently and said lightly.

The first update in March, a big chapter, is interesting enough!!
