Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 247 War rations

An answer that surprised Wells and Yale. Although the Friendship Flag is very important to the orcs and will not be given to others easily, but compared with the only grain merchant of a race, I believe everyone will choose to be the one. The only grain merchant who would not ask for a battle flag.

But Wells and Yale are both smart people. After a second thought, they understood what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai was telling them that between him and them, he would rather choose friendship than profit!

Wells looked at Zhao Hai, and Zhao Hai also looked at Wells calmly. After a while, Wells raised his glass to Zhao Hai and said, "As you wish, brother Zhao Hai."

Zhao Hai also smiled slightly, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Wells." The two of them smiled slightly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Sometimes men's friendships are really strange. You don't need to say much or do too much. Maybe they will become good friends just after a drink. But sometimes, this friendship needs to be tested.

Then the two of them drank two more glasses of wine, and then Zhao Hai said: "Brother Wells, where are you going now? If you continue to go forward, you may encounter the cavalry of the Iron Wall Fortress. If not, there will be conflicts."

Wells smiled slightly and said: "The reason why I came here is just to see the Iron Wall Fortress. There is no special purpose. Now that I have met you, it is naturally impossible for me to go to the Iron Wall Fortress. The food is comparable." It’s much more important to see the scenery.”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "It seems that you won't let us go. To be honest, I still want to open a shop in the Beast God City. Haha, you know, I don't only have food in my hands, but also a lot of vegetables. , they are all fresh, do you think there is a vegetable shop in Beast God City, will anyone come to buy it?"

Wells looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly: "My brother Zhao Hai, are you kidding me? Do I know how expensive vegetables are here among the orcs? You can exchange vegetables of the same weight for one of the same weight. It’s just argali sheep, and it’s still marketable but priceless. Do you think anyone will buy your food?”

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "It seems that this is really a good thing. By the way, Brother Wells, you orcs like to eat mutton so much. Do you also know how to make mutton food? Can you make canned mutton? ?”

Wells was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "No, my brother, you know, although cans can be stored for a long time, there are not so many cans on the grassland, so we have no way to make them." Canning, actually canning is too much trouble, and to be honest, the taste of canning is really not to our taste.”

Zhao Hai chuckled and said: "Then do you have any method that can be made here to preserve mutton for a long time? Of course, it must taste good."

Wells looked at Zhao Hai puzzled and said: "My brother, what do you want to do? Why do you ask these questions?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "My brother, my territory is too big, but I don't have many people. I need people, a lot of people, so I want to buy some slaves from you, and my food I can get a lot of argali sheep from you, but these argali sheep won’t survive long on the territory of the human race. And I haven’t done any business related to argali sheep on the mainland. In this case, those argali sheep will If I bring the sheep back to the mainland, they will have no choice but to die, so I want to find a way to kill the argali sheep and process their meat so that it can survive for a long time, so that I can slowly I tried my best to buy these muttons, what do you think?"

Of course Zhao Hai didn't tell the truth. He threw the plate into the space and filled it with as much as he could, but there was one thing Zhao Hai had to do. He wanted to make more money. If he could enter a mutton deep processing company If there is a market, then he will make more money.

Now he has a large territory, but if he just uses this territory to farm, it is impossible to make too much money. If it were not for the spatial cheating device, it would be impossible for Zhao Hai to have it now. With so much capital, if you want to make money, you must have factories and industries, so that you can make more money.

Moreover, Zhao Hai is a little worried. He can buy slaves from the orcs, but the slaves of the orcs cannot farm. Although they can learn, it will take a long time. In addition, when winter comes, those slaves will hardly be able to farm. There's nothing left to do, so it's better to get a side job.

Wells finally agreed with Zhao Hai's statement. In fact, many businessmen who cooperated with orcs had meat processing plants or leather factories in the human race, and the top brass of these orcs also knew about it.

What kind of people are businessmen? They are people who maximize profits. They want to bring the cattle and sheep from the grassland back to the mainland. In addition to selling part of them directly, a large part of them must go through in-depth work.

Sheepskin can be used to make clothes, shoes, cowhide and other Warcraft skins, and can be made into leather armor or other leather products. How can those businessmen be willing to give such a big piece of cake to others, so except for some who are not very powerful? In addition to the small businessmen, many large businessmen who do business with the orcs have their own factories on the mainland, and their wealth is also astonishing.

However, the so-called meat food in mainland China is really poor. Apart from canned meat, it is ham and the like, and there is no other way.

And after what they did, the price of beef and mutton on the mainland has remained high, and many civilians simply cannot afford it.

Zhao Hai had no intention of changing this situation, because if that happened, the interest chain he would touch would be too great, and he would not be able to withstand it.

But he could develop some new foods, such as some unique foods on the grassland, so he asked Wells if there were any mutton products on the grassland that could be preserved for a long time.

Wells thought for a while and said: "There is really a method of preparing mutton that is very suitable for the conditions you just mentioned, but there is one method. You humans may not like this method."

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "Let's talk about it, it's better than wasting it."

Wells smiled and said: "War ration is the most commonly used food by orcs during war. To put it bluntly, this food is actually dried meat. We kill the monsters, then cook them, dry them, and process them several times. , the animal meat will turn into jerky. The size of this jerky is very small. The meat of an argali can even be packed into a grain bag. But don’t ignore these meats. The small size is what makes them The biggest advantage is that when the orcs are fighting, everyone will bring a bag of dried meat with them. When eating, just take out a piece and boil it with water, and the meat will become bigger again. A small piece of meat is enough. A full meal for an adult orc is the best food for war."

Zhao Hai nodded. He had heard of this method before. As a fan of the puppet army, Zhao Hai saw a post on a forum when he was on Earth. There was a post about Mongolia during the Genghis Khan period. The method of making military rations is similar to what Wells said. Although Zhao Hai doesn't know whether the post is true or not, what Wells said should be true.

The method of jerky seems to be of little use to Zhao Hai, because it is troublesome to make, and even if it is made, it may not be sold. People who can afford mutton will not buy this kind of jerky. It is impossible to sell it to the human army on the mainland, because the human army has its own supply system and may not be interested in this kind of dried meat. People who can't afford mutton may not be able to afford this kind of jerky, because after processing, the jerky is probably more expensive than ordinary mutton.

But after thinking about it, there is no market for this kind of dried meat. On the contrary, the market for this kind of dried meat is not small. Zhao Hai almost forgot that there is a very special professional group on this continent, mercenaries. !

On Earth, mercenaries only exist in legends. It is impossible for Zhao Hai, an otaku, to see them. Moreover, mercenaries on Earth will not eat this kind of dried meat. Those mercenaries have their own supply lines.

But it's different here in Ark Continent. Most of the mercenaries are running around for a living. Sometimes they will take on some special tasks. A task will be very long, so they need to prepare a lot of food. , and sometimes you have to hunt some monsters to solve the food problem.

But there are many special tasks for which they have no way to obtain additional supplies. They have to rely on themselves to solve them. In the past, the main food for mercenaries on the mainland was usually a kind of hard-faced flatbread. This kind of flatbread is very It is hard and must be soaked in water before eating. This kind of bread can be stored for a long time and the price is not cheap. How does it taste? You'd better not count on it.

If Zhao Hai really makes this kind of jerky, it will definitely be good news to those mercenaries. This kind of jerky not only guarantees the taste, but is also easy to carry and more nutritious. This is definitely the preferred food for mercenaries.

Laura obviously didn't think of this, and neither did Wells. To be precise, the taste of each war ration can only be regarded as average. If it were not needed during war, the orcs would not make this kind of dried meat.

After thinking about the use of dried meat, Zhao Hai couldn't help but said with a smile: "Thank you, my brother, your suggestion is really wonderful."

Wells looked at Zhao Hai and said: "My brother, you have to know that the taste of dried meat is not very good. We orcs rarely make it unless it is during a war, and it has to be the kind that takes a long time. , this kind of jerky is made only when traveling a long distance.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "My brother, of course I know this, but this kind of dried meat is very suitable for one type of people, that is, mercenaries. There are no mercenaries among the orcs, but there are many mercenaries over there. , my brother, the mercenaries are fighting every moment, and this kind of war ration is the best food for them."

Wells and Laura were both stunned. They really didn't think about it. Laura didn't have many contacts with mercenaries before. Her business mainly dealt with ordinary people, and mercenaries were not related to ordinary people. The people are still one level behind. It can be said that they are people from two completely different worlds.

But you have to admit that there are still a lot of mercenaries on the mainland. They are a force that no one pays much attention to, but they do exist.

When Laura heard what Zhao Hai said, her eyes immediately lit up. Her extraordinary business sense allowed her to immediately discover the business opportunities in this, but she thought that all this needed to be carefully investigated.

Wells looked at Zhao Hai and said: "Brother Zhao Hai, you are such a smart man. You can come up with such an idea. I am really curious now about where your territory is."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said: "Brother Wells, my identity is not very popular among the human race, haha, so no one knows where my territory is. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I want to be in the Beast God City. I need your help to build a store."

Wells smiled and said: "My brother, why are you opening a store? I want all the grain you have, and I want all the vegetables you have. Why are you opening a store?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said: "My brother, believe me, you can't eat the things in my hand. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat just the vegetables. Haha, of course, everything in my hand can be given priority." Is it okay to supply it to the Hercules Cow Clan and then sell it to others?”

Wells smiled and said: "My brother, this is what I'm waiting for. You don't have to worry about the store. I can help you solve it. But brother, you must prepare the food for me. This time we will go first." Go and see the buffalo tribe and the bullfighting tribe. The buffalo tribe is my teacher’s race, and I am also related to the bullfighting tribe. My four sisters all married there, so I want to solve their food problem first.”

Although Wells told Zhao Hai about his situation and wanted to cooperate with Zhao Hai, he still could not completely trust Zhao Hai. After talking about what he told Zhao Hai before, he could just find a tribe here in the grassland. You can find out that the struggle between him and Gasol has long been a well-known thing on the grassland, and it is nothing special.

But food is really important to Wells. If Zhao Hai really has a lot of food in his hands, then he has hope of defeating Gasol, but the premise is that Zhao Hai really has a lot of food.

Zhao Hai had no objection. For him, the purpose of cooperating with Wells was to get the friendship flag of the Hercules Bull Clan. As Zhao Hai said, he had food in his hands and had nothing to worry about here in the orc grassland. Sell ​​it, but getting the friendship flag of the Hercules Bull Clan will have many benefits for his future business here in the orc grassland.

He only sells grain. What Wells will do with the grain and how he will use it has nothing to do with him. To be honest, Zhao Hai really doesn't want to get involved in the fight between Wells and Gasol.

The situation of the orcs here is very different from that of the human race. The human race is already hostile to the orcs on the orc grassland. If he rashly gets involved in this kind of internal struggle among the orcs, he will not get any good results. Yes, he won't do this kind of thing.
