"Little Ali!" With a shout, Nina's ball-like body rolled in from outside the doorway until it was next to Arisio. This girl was trying to lose weight a while ago, but after losing weight for a while, she found that with her physique, which grows meat when drinking water, the effect of weight loss is not very good. If you can't lose weight, why add pain to your life? Nina simply gave up her weight loss plan, how to eat all day long, and quickly rebounded back to her original round and jade state.

The difference is that she now has self-confidence, what is wrong with the fat girl? The fat girl is also loved, and in terms of love, she is warm with Arisio, in terms of friendship, she has met a group of good friends who really love her, and in terms of family affection, even if she is fat and becomes a pig, her father will not dislike her, so what is she unhappy about? Those noble ladies don't want to see her, she doesn't want to see them!

Arisio set up a small table in the shade of the tree, calculating something with a serious expression. Seeing Nina rolling in, he only looked up and smiled, and said, "Don't disturb me yet, I'll talk to you later." As he spoke, his subordinates pulled Nina in a chair as they were accustomed to it.

If Nina was still very pampered in the past, Nina has learned how to get along with others now. Seeing that Arisio didn't have time to accompany him, Nina would not be dissatisfied, so she lightly took out the cold cake she tried to make from the thermos bucket and put it next to Arisio, and asked the maid for a fan to fan Aris had a fan for a while.

While fanning, he quietly looked at Arisio with his eyes. If you don't look carefully, you don't think it, but if you look closely, you will find that Xiao Ali has become more heroic during this time. Between the eyebrows and eyes, there is less of the previous immature aura, and a little more mature aura that can only be seen in Prince Bruce or Hawke and others before. How do you describe it in Xu Zheng's words? The whole thing looks ...... Oh. That's right, it's sexy. The little red hair sits under the tree and looks a little sexy.

Thinking of this, the fat girl couldn't help but take a sip of herself, the girl's family, she is not ashamed to think about this. However, she really thinks that such a little Ali is very good-looking, better looking than any man.

So two red clouds flew up on Nina's face, and her eyes dodged. But he just couldn't stop peeking at Arisio's small movements.

The two men under the tree sat like this, one carefully settling accounts, the other lightly fanning, and did not sit next to each other. But there is an indescribable intimacy between the two, one fat and one thin.

"It was delicious. ”

"Huh?"

"I said it was delicious. I can't believe you've really learned to do this. ”

When Nina came back to her senses, she found that Arisio was holding a bowl and digging and eating with a spoonful without a spoonful, with a very pleasant expression on her face.

Nina said, "I added rice flour and glutinous rice flour from the dwarf tribe to Xu Zheng's original ingredients. Personally, I feel that the taste is smoother. However, after adding these two things, it becomes difficult to coagulate well, and the ingredients are not right to form a cold cake, or the taste is bitter, and it took many attempts to succeed. ”

"No wonder I feel that the palate is much more delicate and layered than the original," says Arisio. That's amazing, Nina. ”

Nina was very happy to hear this. smiled: "My friends have said that I am a foodie." Foodies must be a little better than others when it comes to making food, haha. I now understand that what is riding a horse, drinking tea, talking about gossip about jewelry is not suitable for me. I like to make my own food and eat it for myself. Give it to the people you like. ”

Eyebrows fluttered with a little smugness and said: "When it comes to making snacks, now the chefs at home admire me a little." The last time I made a successful seaweed custard, it was almost all my idea. ”

Arisio couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and he felt very comfortable looking at Nina's happy expression.

Nina stretched out her head and glanced at the table: "By the way, are you settling accounts? Do you want me to help? I have studied this very hard during this time, and I should be able to help you." ”

Arisio's heart was slightly sweet, Nina, a girl who has always been lazy, was willing to work hard to learn boring number calculations, and her purpose was to help herself. How can this not make him feel sweet in his heart?

Arisio shook his head and refused: "You don't need it, you just look at me." Your physique is afraid of heat and sweats easily, and you still run to me when you don't stay at home, and you are not afraid that Lord Zama will feel sorry for you. ”

Nina was happy in her heart, but her face was displeased: "What, I'm afraid that I will find out the trade secrets of your Penoch family?"

Arisio was amused by her, and said, "I really don't dare to show you the family account book." This is the property under my name, you can watch it if you like, just help check if there is anything wrong. ”

Nina happily took the stack of papers and asked the maid to go to the house and take the abacus out to calculate. Although little Ali has rarely made mistakes since he learned to use the abacus to calculate, it's not idle and boring, and doing the same thing with the person he likes is very meaningful no matter what.

The two of them fell silent again, and only the sound of the snapping of the abacus could be heard. The garden is quiet and the atmosphere is very pleasant.

Nina's calculation speed is only half that of Arisio, but fortunately, she only re-examines the results, unlike Arisio, who has to calculate trivial items one by one, and the progress is slowly catching up.

After a while, Nina said, "Ali, do you think the accounts are a little strange?"

Arisio looked up and said, "Where? Where did I miscalculate?"

"There is no miscalculation, the accounts are clear. Nina said: "I just think it's strange that there has been a lot of copper ore and iron ore in the past few months. There are also leather, grain, and shipments that have also doubled compared to before. Compared to luxury goods and other common daily necessities, the shipment volume is less. ”

"It's good that I'm not wrong, and it's unbearable to ask me to do the math again. After Ali finished speaking, he casually explained: "The reason for the large shipment is because the mine is out of Orson Manor, and they can't sell it all here, so I can make a difference." It's good to be able to help friends sell goods, and you can make some money yourself, so you can get the best of both worlds. ”

Nina still shook her head: "I know about this, but there used to be unsalable minerals and leather left every month. In the next month, the remaining balance of the previous month will be counted before the purchase is carried out in quantity. It's been a strange few months. Not to mention that all of them are out of stock, the merchant also fills in the order for the next month's amount. ”

"Aren't you happy if it sells well? I can make a fortune here. Orson Manor is also in urgent need of selling the mine to get construction funds, just right. ”

Although listening to Arisio say this, the woman's sixth sense still made Nina feel inappropriate, and once again carefully looked at the items on the account, and then said: "It is indeed a bit unusual, the shipment of minerals is too large, and even the sales of weapons and armor produced in this city are double that of previous months. ”

"The more you sell, the better, I wish I had ten times more sales than later!"

Nina shook her head. "That's not what I said. If the sales of daily necessities, especially luxury goods, increase significantly, it means that everyone's living standards are improving. And the growth of these things can only show that someone is stockpiling strategic materials, which is not a good phenomenon. ”

Arisio was stunned and looked up at Nina.

Nina said with a serious look on her mellow face: "If you don't prepare for war, there will be a normal amount of shipments of these things." It is generally used to maintain the regular replacement of the old and the new, as well as the wear and tear and repair during the drill. A large number of sales like this ......"

The fat girl tapped her fingers on the table, and looked like her father, Lord Philid Zama. Then the girl said, "Ali, be careful! someone is arming his men with these minerals." In addition to being used to forge ordinary metal tools, the main use of minerals is still to forge weapons and armor. Such a large shipment, if only for daily use. It doesn't cost so much, the only possibility is to forge weapons and armor. ”

Continuing to knock on the table, Nina added: "My father mentioned to me that the buying and selling of large quantities of weapons and armor is usually a precursor to war. If nothing else, if this batch of minerals flows into the market in Madagarh. In the hands of those gangs, they will be turned into weapons and armor, and the city will escalate and become more difficult to control. If it falls into the hands of someone with a heart. I'm afraid it's more troublesome. You and I both know that the real situation in Madagarh is not as peaceful as it seems. ”

Arisio was thrilled to hear this, Nina had always been very smart, and she was the daughter of Philid Zama, the mayor's daughter had been exposed to it since she was a child, and the breadth of knowledge and depth of thought were more than a point and a half higher than that of a merchant boy like herself. What she can't see, she doesn't necessarily see. Hearing her say this, it makes a lot of sense.

"Show me. ”

Nina handed over the bill.

Arisio looked closely, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Nina's statement was very reasonable, someone was secretly collecting a large number of minerals, and the purpose was other than what Nina said, and Arisio couldn't think of a more suitable reason. And this man's methods are still very clever, all the ways to absorb minerals are all reduced to zero, scattered to multiple buyers, if it were not for Nina's careful heart, and the cunning politician's daughter such a keen sense of smell, this action would definitely be able to paralyze the businessman who is used to buying and selling.

If Nina's analysis is correct, the matter will be in trouble, and Madagarh will stir up trouble again.

"Someone. ”

"Young Master, what are your orders?"

"I went to ask my father's bookkeeper to bring the family account book to me, I don't understand something and want to borrow my father's method. ”

"Okay, young master, please wait a moment. ”

The family's ledger could not be shown to Nina, and when the ledger was brought in, Arisio would read it himself, and extract the trading volume of minerals and calculate it.

As a result, like its own industry, its mineral sales have been high in recent months, as well as other products related to strategic materials. And my father, like myself, only sees the surplus in his eyes and ignores the danger behind it.

It seems that the red-haired fox, father and son, have been toyed with. After returning the ledger, Arisio couldn't help frowning, who was secretly collecting these things, what was he going to do?

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a subordinate rushing in and said, "Young Master, Jirimi of the Miller family? ”

Jeremy?

Arisio and Nina were puzzled, didn't this guy help Master Miller because of the new official taking office, and he didn't even have time to come to the door to play?

"Come in, please!"

A moment later, Girimi stepped in, and saw the two of them say only one sentence: "Go!" ”

Two hours later, the three of them reappeared with bad faces, and Jirimi said, "I'll see Jaskar tomorrow to see what reaction Naga's side has, I'll go first." ”

"Wait for me, let's go. Nina said, "I'm going to find out what my father is talking about." ”

Arisio had a calm face: "I will inform my father first, and all related items will be discontinued." ”

"Wait. Nina waved her hand: "Don't stop, don't stop!"

Arisio was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said, "Understood." Continue to sell, so as not to startle the snake. However, I will control the sales little by little, so that the mines I sell will not be turned into weapons and cut down on my head. ”

Jirimi also said: "Nina is right, you can't stop, and you can also use the sales to check who the goods are in their hands." See if it's the one we're worried about. ”

Arisio didn't hesitate: "I'll do it right away." In addition, I will find a way to use the trade route to inform Orson Manor and the elves that there are multiple friends and multiple roads, and it is best to let Xu Zheng know about it. ”

Only then did Jirimi nod and leave the Arisio Mansion with Nina. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. For mobile phone users, please go to M. to read. )
