After coming out, he didn't have any skills to make a living, and he became a homeless man, well, there was a small self-media who reported about him in the morning, but it didn't bring him any substantial help. This man has been wandering around since then, tsk, the most recent record is only last year's city appearance inspection. He was arrested by the police department in Old York and taken to a shelter, and has not been heard from since. Well, it's a little weird, there was no record at all. Including the same batch of homeless people who were caught, there is no follow-up, and even this operation is not recorded, it is too suspicious, and I don't have a good premonition. ”

"Isn't Old York the territory of the 'Birdman Enterprises'? And then, according to Mr. Carmendi, what synthetic biology experiments might that company was doing. Elio started to get nervous, and looked at the comedy clown in a bit of a panic.

"Well, it's really weird, the city has sent police officers to clean up the city a little too often, but on the other hand, they don't prohibit homeless people from entering the city." Comedy harlequin also thinks of things that are not so good.

"Well, it looks like the game has to be stopped, let's go find out what the 'Birdman Enterprises' is up to."

The city of Nolycius, located at the junction of the north and south of the kingdom of Grande, is only one hundred and twenty miles away from the city of Locleon. The region has a good climate and abundant rainfall, and is one of the important grain producing areas of the kingdom. Now that the autumn harvest season has begun, this time period should have been the busiest time of the year, but with the ban of the Southern Provinces and the blockade of the northern part of the kingdom, the whole city has become depressed.

Big businessman Felik. Pylos is the largest grain merchant in the city, and he has been worried about the past month, knowing that sooner or later there will be a war between the north and the south, he hoarded food early, and he hoped that this war would make a fortune, but the ban was banned, and the defense line was one, and the grain could not be shipped. If he hadn't added the granary earlier, I am afraid that this time he would have only allowed the grain to rot in the ground.

I was wondering if I wanted to continue to follow the path of the city lord, so that the other party could open up the net and let myself sell some grain out, even if it was sold to the south at a low price, but the city lord's appetite was too big, and if I couldn't talk about it, I would expose my weakness and be targeted by the other party, which would not be good.

At this time, his servant reported that a distinguished guest had come to negotiate the purchase of grain.

"What's the way? Did you ask clearly? Felik was a little vigilant, after all, some time ago, many people were investigated and a lot of money was knocked out by the city lord.

"Master, it's Northern Rast, it's that skinny wolf, the people on his side."

"Rust?" Felik narrowed his eyes, he was indeed one of the acquaintances, he had a good reputation, he was quick to give money, he never defaulted, and most importantly, this man's way was very clean, whether it was the payment or the way he transported the grain, he would not expose the buyer.

"Okay, let him in." "Yes, sir~"

Soon, a sturdy man walked into the hall, and Felik looked at it and nodded, still as professional as before. Worn-out hemp hats, coarse cloth coats, and half-used hard boots, this dress is all over the street. The person who came was not the one who came often, but the new one was still the same as the person in the past, unremarkable, and he couldn't find it in the pile for a long time.

"Dear Mr. Felik, good day, I am the special envoy of Boss Rust, Lynch, and I have come to discuss with you about the sale of grain."

"Hmm, you're from Rust? Why didn't Richie come over this time? Felik probed.

"Mr. Felik, Uncle Richie has long since retired, and it was Jerry who came before, well, he was supposed to come, but he was drunk, and he caught a cold while spending the night on the street, and he was very sick, so I had to come and buy food this time." The visitor replied respectfully.

"Well, that's good." Felik nodded, Richie had been retired for a few years, and it would be difficult to know about this if it wasn't for Rust's people.

"It's unfortunate that you're here, no, what kind of bullshit is the temporary presidential palace of the Federation, issued a ban, saying that food is not allowed to go out of the city. Well, even if you get through the city defense king and let you transport it out, the road after that will still be difficult to handle. I'll sell it to you, and you'll have a hard time shipping it back. Felik sighed.

"Don't worry, this time, I will take land transportation, pull by car, do not go to the port, let alone the checkpoint, and go directly to the small road."

When Felik heard this, he frowned and said, "Land transport? Still taking the trail? Even if you can avoid the checkpoints, and even avoid a wave of taxes, how much can you transport? The cost of transportation is higher than the price of grain! Do you do this kind of loss-making trading too? ”

"Mr. Felik, this time, I will only buy you 10,000 catties of grain, and the scale of the caravan required is not large, and the cost will come down."

"Ten thousand catties? Just order the goods, how can you earn back your back and forth losses, let alone profits! You have to sell it for several times the price to make money! Who are you selling? Felik was a little suspicious.

"Mr. Felik, ordinary grain naturally can't afford to sell it at this price," Lynch smiled, "so I want the best~ the best product, the soft wheat flour used to make cakes~!" ”

Soft wheat flour is the highest quality product selected from the finest ears of wheat. It is the only choice for aristocrats to make cakes, and it is also the signature pastry necessity of many high-end restaurants. Felik naturally knew about this, but in this way, the other party's report seemed too much.

"I'm still going to say, who are you going to sell this? The Northland has been beheaded by a large number of nobles, and I don't think you can still sell it. ”

"No, Lord Felik, you don't know this, although the nobles or the rich businessmen, in this purge, there has been a lot reduction, but the remaining nobles, hey, all want to open, now, eat, drink and have fun at home every day, banquets, that's every day, the demand for this thing has increased ~!"

"Really?" Felik was a little convinced, "But how much can you eat every day?" Besides, don't the aristocratic lords in the north get tired of eating every day? ”

Seeing that the other party still didn't believe it, Lynch had to explain in detail: "Mr. Felik, let me tell you this, Miss Northland's daughter, if you have a tea party, you will prepare fourteen pastries, one high-grade flower tea and one Daxia black tea, this is the standard." The number of pastries per serving is prepared according to five times the number of participants, which is a lot. ”

"Hmm, fourteen, multiplied by five, that's seventy pastries?! Are those aristocratic ladies so edible? "Felik thinks you're talking about Miss Qianjin's tea party.

"Hey~! Mr. Felik, where will a noble lady eat them all! This amount of food, even the village girls in the countryside can't do it! Lynch laughed even more, "Generally, just choose a few, take a piece and eat a bite, or even one or two pieces, and take a bite and it's over, this is a small-scale public occasion, who will pull down their face and eat more, what a loss of face!" ”

"That's the case~~" Felik blinked his eyes, thought for a moment, and continued to question: "That's not right, this meal is so small, it will take a few days to finish it!?" ”

"Oh, Lord Felik!" Lynch sighed and said: "This pastry will only be on stage once, even if it is a tea party on the same day, it will not be served again!" A tea party, a pastry~! ”

"If you don't finish it, you throw it away?!"

"Not really," Lynch continued, "These are usually divided by the servants in the house, and a few will be sold outside." ”

"I see..." Felik touched his chin, "Since you have a way to make a move, then I won't worry about you." Hmm, let's make a contract now, the old rules, what about the deposit? ”

"Give ~ you're ready early in the morning!" Lynch took out ten gold tals from his inner pocket and placed them on the table.

"Oh, it's refreshing~ Someone! Go prepare the pen and ink contract! Felik shouted into the back hall.

Soon the servant sent pen and ink and the contract, and the two sides successfully signed the contract. Lynch looked happy and said, "Mr. Felik, then the contract is established, the goods will be sent to the old place, and when the goods are ready, we will hand over the rest of the payment to the person in charge of delivery." So, I wish you a prosperous business, I have other important business to discuss, don't say goodbye~ farewell! ”

Felik was in a good mood after talking about business, and couldn't help but say: "Why is the business so urgent~!?" Stay for a meal and then leave~ Besides, you are also the first time to come to my residence, don't stay as a guest, let me do my landlord's friendship, my family is still quite big. ”

"Oh, thank you Mr. Felik for your kindness, it's just that I made an appointment with Mr. Jebrie, and I'll go to him to talk about business later~" Lynch declined.

"You wait a while~!" Felik's good mood disappeared in an instant, and Jebri, one of his rivals in the city, had a very poor relationship with them.

"Why do you still have to go to him to buy it?! Didn't you just buy 10,000 catties?! ”

"Mr. Felik, you listen to my explanation~" Lynch said calmly: "Isn't this to give you trouble, I actually want 20,000 catties, but 20,000 catties are all from you, the goal is a bit big, I heard that the city lord took advantage of the ban some time ago, fined a lot of merchants' money, I am worried that you will also be targeted by him, so I divided the volume into two batches and let two suppliers supply." ”

"Isn't it still an increase in the risk of exposure if you divide it twice?" Felik shook his head and said, "In this way, I'll give you another 10,000, Jebri's side, don't go~!" ”

Lynch frowned, and said with some hesitation, "You have a point, Mr. Felik. But I agreed to meet with Mr. Jebri ... ”

"Did you sign a contract with him?" "Not really, actually, I haven't officially met with him yet."

"Wouldn't that be good," the corners of Felik's mouth crooked, "Since I didn't sign the contract, and I haven't even seen each other, what does it matter, hmm, so let's do it, you transfer this list to me, and I'll give you a ninety-fifty percent discount~"

"This..." Lynch hesitated, grimacing.

"Nine folds~! What do you think?! That's it! Felik looked at the waiting servant, "You! Get another contract in the past, hurry! ”

Lynch seemed a little anxious, stepped forward, and said helplessly: "Mr. Felik, I didn't bring any money and couldn't pay the deposit, you see, why don't you wait for me to go back and discuss it, and sign it next time?" ”
