Chapter 50: Eating the "Cake"

"Then young master, what do you need?" Shirina asked, "The benefits of the Rose family are usually not easy to want, but since the other party took the initiative to come, I don't think you will refuse, young master." ”

"Indeed," Qin Feng nodded, and he said directly; "I did not refuse, there is a shortage of many things in the town of Bul at the moment, lack of food, lack of clothing, lack of salt, so to speak, we are short of everything. But we also have a lot of things, iron ore, and a lot of things that have been seized from the orcs. But these things are all piled up in the warehouse, and you can only watch them rust, and there is no use for them. ”

"It's just a pile of dead stuff if it's not in circulation." Shirina said.

"Indeed," Qin Feng was surprised by Shilina Octavia's self-awareness: "Indeed, these things are just a pile of dead things if they don't flow, and no matter how many things are seized, they can't become what we need, and the arrival of the Rose Family has given us a solution to this problem." ”

"But do we really have to trust this Engels?" The old butler stood aside and couldn't help but say, "The Rose family will not show mercy to those who offend their family, we have had conflicts with them before, but they have come to show goodwill. And the Engels five big and three thick looked more like a samurai than a businessman, although he spoke a little more fritters. ”

The butler has always had concerns, but Engels has always been there before and he has not had a chance to say it.

"There's no reason why the Rose family would get this way, butler, now that the empire can't support it, the head of the Rose family wouldn't be our enemy at this time if he didn't have brains, and they can't do anything about us." Qin Feng smiled: "As for whether Engels looks like a businessman? Although I agree with you, he is indeed a businessman. ”

Shirena's eyes lit up, she was also interested in Engels by the butler's words, a merchant who looked like a samurai, and this was the first time she had heard of it. The businessmen she had seen in the past were fat.

"Yes, young master," although there was still some worry in his heart, but since he had said so, the housekeeper did not say much.

"We now need to put together a list and point out what we're missing the most at the moment." Qin Feng said.

Shirina glanced at the old butler, and after seeing the old butler's unspoken thoughts, she said, "I think the thing we need to trade the most at the moment is warm clothing. ”

"The weather has been getting colder and colder these days, and it has even reached the temperature of the Cold Iron Fortress in previous years, and the townspeople are better at the moment, they can hide in their houses and burn the fire to ward off the cold, but the displaced people who came later do not have this condition, so what we need most at the moment is not food but clothing, and food can at least be obtained in Fort York." Shirina has also known a lot about following the old butler these days.

"It's getting cold?" Qin Feng looked at the old butler and asked, "Is this true?" The old butler has the most say in this, although he also thinks that the weather is very cold, but he just thinks that this is just a normal temperature, but he didn't expect that it is almost the same as the Cold Iron Fortress, you must know that the Cold Iron Fortress is in the northernmost part of the empire.

"Yes, young master, the temperature in the past few days is indeed much lower than in previous years, but the temperature changes every year during the winter period, so I didn't think it was wrong, so I didn't tell you." The old butler nodded, proving that Shirina was right.

Since there were so many old housekeepers, Qin Feng didn't think deeply about it, and put this matter behind, but he also nodded and agreed to Xilina's proposal. "Clothing, that's the main thing, what about the rest?" He asked.

"Grain." The old butler said.

"And table salt." Shirina said: "There is not enough salt in the current stockpile. ”

"......................" It wasn't until it got dark that the candlelight in the study was blown out, and Qin Feng and Xilina went to the restaurant with the housekeeper.

At this time, the table is already filled with all kinds of cooked food, such as steamed potatoes, toast, creamy mushroom soup, roast goose, sausages and other delicacies.

Engels had been sent by the housekeeper to invite the restaurant in advance, he was still wearing that dress, his huge and muscular body stood there like a standing white bear, Shirina kept staring at Engels, and was surprised, as the old butler said, more like a warrior.

"Lord Baron." Engels didn't pay attention to Shirina's gaze, but he was also a little curious in his heart if this beautiful girl was the baron's wife? He hadn't heard that the baron was married, not even a marriage contract.

"This is Miss Shirina from the Renault family." Qin Feng introduced Xilina.

"Hello young lady, I have always admired the name of the Renault family for a long time." Engels greeted politely, but he was secretly thinking in his heart, how could the daughter of the Renault family get mixed up with the Rheinreth family, could it be that the two families have formed an alliance?

If that's the case, then he's going to have to really test it. The reputation of the Renault family in the empire is now stinky, and the real reason is of course known by his status, but this is the work of all the families in the entire empire behind the scenes, even the Rose family does not dare to leave the team, if the news of the "alliance" between the Renault family and the Rheinryth family is known by other families, it will definitely not be a good thing for the Rheinreth family.

And the Rose family will also get into trouble because of this.

"Hello." Shirina responded with a smile.

Everyone is on the spot, and the aroma of food lingers on the tip of the nose.

Engels was very interested in knowing how the daughter of the Renault family could stay in the baron's palace of the Rhinereth family, and to see how close the young lady and the baron werew. "Miss Silina, is the Earl okay, I used to visit the Cold Iron Fortress once a year, but I never had the opportunity to meet the Earl, which is really a pity!"

"Father is fine," Shirina looked at Engels, who seemed to have guessed Engels' thoughts, but she was depressed when she remembered her father's tired back and her brother's death in the Cold Iron Fortress. Her tone suddenly became aggressive: "But the Cold Iron Fortress was taken away by the orcs, and we didn't even wait for a single reinforcement, can you give the Renault family an explanation?" ”

Engels closed his mouth in disagreement, he couldn't answer, to be honest, many of the reasons for the fall of the Cold Iron Fortress were caused by the imperial nobles, even if this matter had nothing to do with him.

"You ....." Xilina still wanted to question, Qin Feng reached out and grabbed Xilina's hand under the table, and shook his head at him, he understood Xilina's mentality, but this was not the place for her to question this.

Xilina turned her head to look at Qin Feng, and finally bit her lip and let go of the obsession in her heart, she also knew that this was not the place for her to vent.

But she didn't want to sit here anymore and continue to be a false enemy with the "enemy" who caused her brother to die in the Cold Iron Fortress. "I'm a little uncomfortable, I'll go back first." Shirina got up, apologized, and turned to leave.

Qin Feng frowned slightly, and apologized to Engels: "Women are strange creatures, they always become very strange every time, please don't care about her offense." ”

"Haha...."Engels said with a smile: "Listening to what the adults said, I finally understood why those women in my family always couldn't get along with me for a while." Engels smiled and changed the subject. But in my heart, I have a deeper understanding of the relationship between the Rheinreth family and the Renault family, and it seems that the relationship between the Rheinreth family and the Renault family is not shallow.
