"Count Anduin, what do you mean by that? What are we shipping? ”

The shrewd merchant frowned, and Anduin smiled faintly: "Of course it's high-quality fresh meat!" I have calculated that if I can't survive this winter, the reserve resources in the ranch will be exhausted, and I can't use the fundamental resources, so I can only ask for external supplies, three, as long as you can bring in enough goods, the price is definitely negotiable. ”

This request made both the shrewd businessmen and the irascible businessmen feel a little unreasonable, and they clearly explained the reason, but Anduin not only planned to continue to go his own way, but also hit the abacus on them! The demand for the Silver Fortress was already difficult to satisfy, so how could it be possible to satisfy Anduin's appetite again?

Only old Frye secretly affirmed after thinking about it, Anduin's plan was definitely not wishful thinking, and difficulties did exist, but what if they were solved? At least this year's weather conditions are not bad, and the day of heavy snow closures is still a long way off, and Old Frye believes that if the reputation of the Hearthstone Inn can spread throughout the Silver Fortress sooner rather than later, Anduin's plans will not be disappointed.

Besides, what if the road is closed by heavy snow? Nothing can stop diners from eating at the pace of food!

It's just that the other two don't see it that way, they categorically can't believe that the Hearthstone Inn will be so attractive, and the shrewd merchant said in a deep voice: "With all due respect, Count Anduin, your expectations are difficult to hold, not many customers will come from the Silver Fortress for a few meals, not to mention that there are not no new meals in the fortress, and the competitiveness of the Hearthstone Inn is not as good as you imagined!" ”

"Do you think so too?"

Anduin looked at the grumpy merchant, and after receiving an affirmative answer, he shook his head and smiled: "To say something conceited, I don't think the food anywhere will be better than my Hearthstone Inn, although the two of you haven't eaten barbecue, you should have tasted the improved bread, how is it, how does it taste?" ”

The savvy merchant was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "The taste of improved bread is indeed good, but I will never travel a long way to Stormwind Town just to eat a few pieces of bread!" ”

"But I'll come here often because of the barbecue, Count Anduin, and when I'm done with this, I'll come and stay for a few days, and I hope you'll keep me a room."

Old Frye smiled and spoke, making the shrewd businessman's face change slightly, Anduin readily agreed, and turned to look at the two businessmen: "Since I opened this Hearthstone Hotel, it is natural to attract customers, the two of you have only tasted improved bread, and I can't use this as capital to continue the negotiation, so let's do it, tomorrow at noon, I will also prepare a barbecue dinner to thank President Jones, or the same rule, pay the money to enter, this time the two of them do not need to fight." ”

The grumpy merchant looked displeased, he felt upset when he heard the barbecue now, he was going to try it because of the hunger trend, but he didn't get anything to eat with the money, he waited for a long time hungry in vain, and blurted out with resentment: "Could it be that your hotel only has barbecue that can't be put on the table?" The so-called barbecue dinner is just barbecue, and people with real status will not eat it! ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately attracted angry eyes, the members of the Explorer's Guild were all masters, and they absolutely could not tolerate such an insult, and the irascible merchant was suffocated, but he did not intend to apologize, because he thought that what he said was in line with the truth, the nobles in the fortress enjoyed exquisite and delicious food all day long, not only good taste, but also had to have style, such a primitive and simple method as barbecue, it was indeed not popular with the upper class.

Anduin waved his hand lightly, letting everyone dissipate their anger, and then said lightly: "There is never a distinction between high and low food, the difference is only in the chef's skill, anyway, I have already said the rules, one of the ten gold coins, if the two are unwilling, I will naturally not force it, it is late at night, the tavern should be closed, two, please go back." ”

Sensing that the eyes of the explorers had not yet been taken away, in the face of Anduin's eviction order, the two merchants could only hold back their anger, and originally wanted to order something else to relieve their hunger, but they were directly full of anger.

Old Frye did not leave immediately, and asked very curiously: "Earl Anduin, are you going to cook a barbecue tomorrow?" ”

"To be precise, it's just a barbecue method, and that dish has its own name, so I won't talk about it for now." Anduin smiled slightly, "Mr. Fry, I think you should have seen the loess iron furnace piled up outside the door, if you have time tomorrow morning, you can make that big dish in the restaurant, I hope this will help you and me to achieve cooperation." ”

Anduin learned from Old Grey that Old Frye had a very special position in the supply of fresh meat to the Silver Fortress, and that he did not have the largest market like the Grumpy Merchant, nor was he as close as the shrewd trader who had close ties to many restaurants, but both the Grumpy and the shrewd Merchant had to respect Old Fry's status, because he was responsible for the daily supply of the fortress palace.

So in comparison, the high-quality fresh meat that Anduin needed could only be provided in large quantities by old Fry, but what he did was to compete with the prince of the fortress for resources after all, so Anduin did not immediately force it, and old Frye only sent ten gold coins to show that he would consider this matter.

The three merchants all left, and Jones, who heard the tone, immediately came up and said seriously: "Count Anduin, some things are still better to be careful, the biggest advantage of the Hearthstone Inn is clear to us, you will openly show the production method tomorrow, in case it is taken by someone with a heart to imitate, wouldn't it be bad for business?" ”

"Don't worry!"

Anduin smiled confidently: "Even if they want to learn, they can only learn the skin, even if it is a simple barbecue sauce, there are no hundreds of experiments, and they don't want to achieve the current flavor." What's more, my Hearthstone Inn doesn't just sell barbecue, if President Jones wants to eat it, I can make you three meals a day in a different style, and I won't repeat it for a whole year! ”

Hearing this, Jones's eyes flashed, and Anduin immediately waved his hand: "Of course, after all, do it, the small shop has just started, or take it slowly, if today's aggregation is still satisfactory, please ask President Jones to take someone upstairs, it's not too early, and the tavern should be closed." ”

After saying that, Anduin handed over the follow-up matters to Ed, and walked into the corridors on both sides alone, and when he was about to open the door of the back hall, he suddenly stood still, and asked with a strange face, "Did I ignore something?" ”

[You seem to have overlooked something......]

"So what am I overlooking?"

[How do I know what you overlooked?] 】

Anduin thought for a moment, but still did not realize that he had overlooked anything, and at the same time, after a secret meeting between the shrewd merchant and the irascible merchant, he returned to his room, pacing back and forth restlessly, and finally stopped at the edge of the window door, he suddenly remembered something, and pushed the window door vigorously, but found that the window door did not move, and could not help but wonder: "The quality of this window is quite good!" How can it be so good that it will bounce off on its own? After I left, all my attendants were waiting outside the door, so who closed the window? ”

……

"Eat and eat, what are you doing with your face? Sonia is unhappy, forget it, you little turtle dare to change your face? ”

At breakfast, Anduin usually sat opposite Sonia, but today's situation was a little bad, and Anduin finally remembered what he had overlooked, but unfortunately he woke up too late, Sonia had a cold angel face, and regarded the bread on the plate as an enemy dish, and the screeching sound of knives and forks cutting across the plate was very permeable.

Jenny Turtle lay on the long bread and gnawed on it, protesting very angrily: "People are also hungry all night......"

"Okay, I will definitely raise you to be fat in the future, one day it will be enough to stew a pot of soup, and one day we will say goodbye!"

Jenny Turtle hurriedly complained to Sonia, but Sonia returned to the room quietly, and changed into the original masked black clothes, Anduin asked puzzledly, "What are you doing here?" It's just a barbecue, so you won't run away from home, right? ”

"Heh, I'd rather be hungry during the Winter Veil Festival, and I'd rather wait for you to eat hot pot together, and forget about me in just a few days?" Sonia said as she checked her outfit, "Didn't you say before that there were still a few tools missing in the back kitchen and that you needed to find someone to design them?" I'll go to the Gnome Kingdom right now and hire someone for you! ”

Anduin could only cry and laugh at Sonia's little temper, he did say such things before, such as the loess iron furnace he had just built, which was just a temporary prop used for emergency relief.

"But there's no need to be in such a hurry, huh? It's not too late for you to leave after noon, and I promise that today's dish won't be missing your share. ”

"And other people's share of ......"

Anduin showed his fist with an unkind face, Jenny Turtle hung his head pitifully, and Sonia snorted: "After I leave, you don't bully it, when you come back, it depends on my mood." ”

Anduin shook his head helplessly, and instead brought Jenny over the turtle, and said viciously: "My sister is leaving, and you are not ready to predict the good luck?" ”

The little turtle shook his head and sighed, and finally resigned himself to divining the future for Sonia, but the result was a dazzling white light, and when the divination pointed at the luminous rune, there was a faint black shadow in the white light that could not be seen clearly.

"What's going on?"

Jenny held his chin and said in a milky voice: "The white light indicates that there will be no danger, but what the black shadow represents, people don't know." ”

"Are you still ready to go?"

Sonia shrugged: "Since there is no danger, why not?" ”

"Okay, before you go, I'll play a trick on you!"

Anduin took off the earl's badge, showed the back of his palm and hand, showed that he was not carrying anything, and then stretched out his right hand to Sonia's left ear, gently brushed the black hair, and then withdrew his hand, opened his palm, and suddenly appeared The lucky coin given by the boatswain Masson, handed it to Sonia, and said softly: "This lucky coin can bless you safe and sound, I hope you return as soon as possible." ”

"If the Light knew that it had given you the power it had given you, and it was being used to curry favor with girls, I wonder if it would have thought it had chosen the wrong person?"

[Ahem, for now, I'm very happy with the host's performance, well, very satisfied.] 】

Sonia played with the lucky coin and casually asked, "This thing won't suddenly disappear, will it?" ”

Anduin shook his head slightly: "This lucky coin can indeed bring a hint of good luck, if you encounter any danger on the road, you can hide and try not to take risks." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid!" Sonia's lucky coin glanced at Anduin, "I heard the words of those merchants, although I don't like it, but there is some truth, in order to strengthen Stormwind Town as soon as possible, I will help you find some customers from the dwarf kingdom, as for when I will come back, I think it won't be long, but when I appear, it depends on someone's performance." ”

After saying that, Sonia took advantage of the night and flew away, Anduin smiled slightly, got up to prepare for the lunch dinner, he had a hunch that whether or not he could catch the line of old Frye would determine the influence of the Hearthstone Inn in the Silver Fortress.
