930. The butcher's shop of Shande
The most beautiful thing about Thea is not her eyes as blue as the sea, nor her delicate face as demonic, nor her long hair as green algae, but her slender waist, especially on horseback, which sways from side to side with the rhythm of the horse's forward steps, and the swaying posture makes the pedestrians on the street forget to walk.
Even if she was put in a glass jar, placed on the auction table, and watched by countless bidders in the audience, Thea had never been so nervous.
She felt her heart squeeze out of her throat, and every heartbeat made her face a little hot.
Seeing Thea's embarrassment, Samira stooped down and pulled a veil out of her bag hanging from the saddle hook and threw it to Thea.
"Thank you......"
Thea was somewhat surprised to take the black openwork veil with very delicate embroidery on it, and the faint fragrance of the half-elf's body on it.
She covered her face with a veil, and sure enough, she blocked the eyes of many people.
“…… Don't hold us back. Samira glanced at Thea and muttered something in front of her.
After saying that, he chased after Surdak, who was walking in front.
Thea blinked, flicked the reins, and chased after her.
Samira glanced at her lightly, and then said to her, "Andrew and Gulitum and I are all from the maca plane, and he took us out of there, saying that he wanted to take us to see thousands of worlds, and I don't want to slow us down because of your joining." ”
After saying that, he ignored Thea and caught up with Surdak in front.
The two men walked and talked, and it seemed that only in the presence of Surdak could a gentle smile appear on Samira's face.
The street is not very wide, there are some pedestrians on both sides of the street, and it can only accommodate two horses in parallel.
Thea followed, her eyes lit slightly.
Her riding skills weren't very good, and she had to hold the reins tightly with both hands to keep her body steady.
At this time, the two-headed ogre with two fried chickens in his hand came up from behind.
The ogre Brainflower prepares to talk to Thea.
Gullitham was currently concentrating on eating chicken, and he took a bite into the chicken's fart. On the thigh, this bite was too big, and a grease flowed from the corner of the mouth.
The ogre Brainflower handed Thea the fried chicken in his hand.
Thea shook her head, not even reaching for it, she thought that this animal with a pointed head and a long neck looked like those skua gulls on the sea, and it must not taste very good.
"Don't listen to what she said, in fact, she doesn't have a bad heart at all, and you'll know later, you're a water magician?" The ogre brainflower asked Thea with a big grin.
"Hmm!" Thea nodded.
Although she was about the same height as Gullitham when she turned back into a fish-tailed Cana, the ogre still gave her a strong sense of oppression when she stood in front of her.
The ogre mage Brain Flower was a little familiar, and immediately said: "It just so happens that I am a fire mage, and we will have to communicate more in the future, but unfortunately I can only use fireballs and ice shields until now, I don't understand the magic theories that Victor said at all, I think you are from the Cana Sea Clan, I am from the Ogre Tribe, we should have a common language." ”
Thea turned her head and asked seriously, "Mr. Ogre, do you want to learn water magic?" That's all I'm good at. ”
Her voice was soft, but her tone seemed sincere.
The ogre magician immediately grinned, revealing a mouthful of somewhat sharp fangs, and said happily: "Call me Brain Flower, I am affinity with the fire element and the ice element, speaking of which the water element and the ice element should be similar!" ”
Gulitham, who was munching on fried chicken, almost squirted out the fried chicken in his mouth, when he quickly pulled his brother's ear with his hand, wiped the chicken fat on his mouth, and yelled, "Hey, I said brother, your magic needs to be awakened to get it." ”
Brain Flower also argued loudly: "Of course I know...... That said, you can't stop a willing ogre from pursuing his education. ”
"Well, I mean you don't always harass Miss Thea." Gulit whispered in her ear, "Don't you think it'......?"
The ogre's eyes widened, and he looked at his good brother with a look of sudden realization, and said, "...... You say that, and I understand. ”
I don't know what Gulitham said, but the ogre brothers fell behind and began to concentrate on nibbling on the roast chicken again.
"I think Wilkes is big, and it turns out that Bednar City is bigger and more prosperous than Wilkes City."
The ogre said to Gullitham.
……
Surdak led the group through the streets to the hotel where they had first arrived in Bednar City with the guard battalion.
He likes to live in the same place every time he goes to a city.
Most of the tenants in this ring hotel are from the north of the tower.
Surdak still chose to live in the aristocratic quarter to the north of the circle, where the corridor aisle faces south, and you can sit in the corridor and bask in the sun.
The waiter at the inn knew Surdak, and he graciously led Surdak and his party to the door of the room.
Surdak paid a tip of a silver coin and told the waiter to take good care of their horses.
Standing on the terrace, habitually looking at North Street, where there are still so few pedestrians, there is a row of magic caravans parked on the side of the street, the townhouses across the street, Lady Dorothy and her love. The house had been restored to its original state, and the broken windows had been repaired and the curtains had been obscured.
The young swordsman who liked to stay at home and not go out, reading newspapers and practicing swords on the wicker chair on the balcony every day was no longer there.
This house should not have a new owner, and the iron box at the door has been stuffed with newspapers.
Thea didn't think there was anything to see outside the terrace, and she even hated looking at the world full of layers of roofs, and the red rubble was stacked like scales.
She was a little looking forward to getting into the magic and soaking in the bathtub and lying down comfortably for a while.
Samira stood in the corner of the terrace, her eyes chasing a flock of wild pigeons in the sky, which seemed to make a buzzing sound as they flew......
Gulit had set up a tent in the inner courtyard of the inn, and these rooms were a bit small for him, far less comfortable than living in a tent.
He sat on a mattress sewn from thick fur, took the fried chicken he had bought from his cloth pocket, and continued to eat his lunch.
……
While there was still some time in the afternoon, Surdak decided to go to the free market first to check out the butcher's owner, Sander.
Thea wants to take a bath in the hotel and decides to stay in the hotel.
Gulit was ready to eat all the fried chicken he had bought in one go, and he didn't want to go out shopping with Surdak for the time being.
Samira didn't have the idea of going out for a walk, so Surdak was the only one who walked out of the hotel with his horse on his own, and walked through the bustling street market to the free market next to the Enchanted Quarter in Bena City, where not only Warcraft materials and magic herbs were sold, but also a variety of fresh Warcraft ingredients.
Shande was originally the owner of a butcher shop specializing in primary Warcraft fresh meat here.
Surdak had planned for him to expand his business and open a larger shop in the free market.
He hadn't seen him for more than half a year, and Shande was still nested in his dilapidated cabin, but because he had sufficient supplies and funds, Shande actually merged all the stalls next to him, and his butcher stall occupied an entire stall in the market.
There are also types ranging from various monster meat to chilled sea fish.
If it weren't for the plaque on the stall that reads 'Sander's butcher's', Surdak would have taken a walk around the free market.
Sander has been out of selling meat lately, he has hired several butchers, and when Surdak came to the door, he was dismantling the large ones full of tender meat in the wooden house in the back. legs, he will these chilled big. The leg meat was taken out of the sealing box, and the hard outer layer on the surface was first smashed, and the tender meat inside was cut into thin slices weighing nearly a pound and placed on a stall covered with crushed ice.
These crushed ice also contain some fresh-looking sea fish, and it's winter, and it only takes ten days for a magic airship to fly from Ignas in Palestina to Bena in Pena.
A butcher who sold meat in a shop brought Surdak to Sander, who had a thicker waist and stood up and excitedly said to Surdak:
"Lord Surdak, why are you back?"
Surdak said: "I happened to be passing by the city of Bena, so I stopped by to have a look. ”
It seems that all the butchers hired by Sander had heard Surdak's name, and when they heard Sander shout like this, all eyes looked at Surdak.
With a red face and a lot of gold ornaments hanging from his body, Shander invited Surdak to his usual resting place.
As he passed through a long row of meat tables backstage, Surdak looked down at the crimson ghost-striped red ants, dismembered little by little by the butchers, and the tender flesh on their bodies was only the white and translucent parts, and cut into thumb-thick strips.
Pointing to the butcher's shop in front of him, Sander boasted to Surdak:
"Look at my new butcher shop, I also hired a few butchers to sell meat for me, and now I just take them in the background to handle the ingredients, and sort out the accounts every day, and the business has been very good in the last few months......"
"You sell these ghost-patterned red ant meat, and you still have to do such a meticulous treatment?" Surdak asked, confused.
"Of course, this is the only way to sell it...... "You see, I slice these meats thinly, sprinkle them with a little salt, and put them together with chilled sea fish, which is very tender, and somewhat resembles the meat of an oversized Matsuba crab. Stick, and after eating, it not only accelerates the recovery of physical strength, but also increases strength, and is very popular in the market. ”
He took a strip of crystal clear fresh meat and introduced it to Surdak.
"But the Bena people are very picky about food, like the largemouth catfish I sell here that is dug out of the mud of the wild swamp, this kind of catfish meat is not liked by everyone, but as long as the name is changed to Arowana meat, the price can be doubled at once, and now the fish market is doing so."
As he spoke, he took a red ant leg and whispered a smile to Surdak and said:
"Hehe, I'll rename these red ant leg meat giant mountain crab leg meat, look at ...... Many fighters with a few children in their pockets will come to me to buy some, and everyone will improve their food in the days before the promotion, and eat some fresh meat of Warcraft that is good for their bodies every day. ”
After saying that, he also showed Surdak his thick arms and said firmly:
"This red ant meat can increase strength, and the effect is much better than other primary Warcraft ingredients......"
Surdak saw that these butchers in charge of peeling the meat, in order to make all the meat strips uniform in shape, square and clear, the cut off material was not ordinary.
Surdak asked Sander: "There will be a lot of leftovers left over from these cuts, what to do with these leftovers?" I don't think I've seen this kind of leftovers in the stall anymore! ”
Shande said proudly: "Of course, it is chopped into minced meat and sold, and there are many restaurants in the city that have to be booked with me." ”
"The price of the delicate meat strips cut out like this is much higher than the ordinary price, and these leftovers will be lowered a little bit according to the ordinary price, so that they can be sold separately to make more money."
"It's a meat dumpling that's fried on top with a little bit of seasonal vegetables, cheese butter and whatever, and sandwiched between two scones, which has been very popular with us lately."
"I also made some sausages for sale here."
Sand introduces his business philosophy to Surdak.
Surdak walked around the butcher's shop in Shande, patted Shander on the shoulder before leaving, and said to him, "I thought you couldn't handle such a large amount of red ant fresh meat, but it looks like it's doing pretty well here." ”
"The next batch of red ant fresh meat will be much better than your current batch of meat, but this is also the last batch in winter, my knights have withdrawn from the Dark Worm Valley, and it will not be available for a period of time in the future, so I will appropriately increase the supply of salamander fresh meat."
Sander touched his hairy breasts. preserved, and shouted repeatedly: "Of course it's better to have salamander meat to sell......"
……
Surdak rode away from the free market and visited the Brunei manager at the Gophilo family's leather dealership, another part of the Enchanted Quarter.
As soon as I turned around from the street, I saw a horse-drawn carriage parked at the door of the leather trading house from a distance, and a complete ghost-patterned soldier ant hard armor was hanging on the plaque of the trading house, and the hard armor was swaying slightly in the wind.
Walking into this trading house, which was full of all kinds of bulk materials, the employees of the trading house immediately approached and asked earnestly: "Guest, is there anything we can do for you?" ”
"I'm looking for a Brunei manager!" Surdak said as he stood in the doorway.
A groom who specialized in tying horses took the reins from Surdak's hand, and the employee looked inside the firm and said to Surdak, "Please wait a minute......
As he spoke, he turned around and walked quickly into the firm, and found the Brunei manager in the midst of a group of people.
Surdak stood at the door of the firm, watching the batches of hard carapace go through two processes: softening and coloring, and then separate according to the size of the specifications, the intact and the flawed ones will also be separated, and the damaged ones will be placed in the waiting area, and almost all the space of the firm is filled with hard carapace.
The people who come to the leather trading house to do business are all leather merchants from all over the world, and they almost all buy this hard carapace in bundles, and the trading house is very lively.
"Lord Surdak......"
The Brunei manager got rid of the entanglement of the group and ran over from a distance.
