Not a Witch

"In the wilderness, the conditions are simple, please forgive me." Hollandt briefly explained, then clapped his hands, and asked the attendant on the side to bring a plate of freshly roasted meat, which was sprinkled with delicious and tempting spices. The lemon tea on the side makes people look quite appetizing.

"I didn't expect to see a caravan from the south in the depths of the grassland. This is also a kind of fate." He said the reason for inviting Lorraine Hill, and then introduced his chamber of commerce.

Lorraine Hill has known about these businesses of the Lamia Chamber of Commerce for a long time, but this time I just listened to them again.

"Our chamber of commerce mainly deals in candies, dried fruits, spices and the like. This time I came to the grassland because I have never been here before. I am curious to see if we can open up new businesses." After that, Lorraine Hill's self introduce.

When she heard the candy, Meier on the opposite side raised her head and looked at Lorraine Hill curiously. Then she continued to lower her head, drank the juice slowly, and continued to listen.

"Candy, it's really rare." Holland sighed. After all, sugar is a rare luxury, and many people don't use it.

After talking with the few people, they gradually became familiar with each other. Only then did Lorraine Hill know that the Lamia Chamber of Commerce has changed. The previous owner is currently retired and living by the sea. The current owner is Holland. And Meier's father, he intends to further develop the industry and expand the scale.

"So, my father asked me and my sister to lead the team to this grassland."

"How do you feel?" Rezia asked a little curiously.

"The grassland today has changed a lot from when I came here a few years ago." Holland sighed slightly.

"It was not easy to purchase fur and leather before. First, the quantity of goods was small and the quality was low. Second, there were a lot of tribes who robbed them on the road. Third, the checkpoints in Xifeng charged more."

"Now that those things don't exist anymore, the business is much easier to do."

"I see..." Lorraine Hill nodded.

Looking at Lorraine Hill's indifferent appearance, Holland thought that the girl didn't understand the difficulties.

"Miss Rezia may have never been to the grassland, so she doesn't know much about the hidden secrets."

"In the past, on the grasslands, pastures, food, etc. were all competing imaginations, and there were often conflicts, so that we had to bring a lot of guards when we were doing business to ensure safety. And because grazing had to change land frequently, otherwise it would be barren, they It takes a long time to migrate, and sometimes I will miss the tribe I cooperated with last year, and it takes a lot of energy to connect."

"It's strange how these seem to look different now."

"Why is it so strange?" Lorraine Hill tilted his head slightly, his face was illuminated by the bonfire not far away, and his clean and beautiful face made the eldest son of the Lamia Chamber of Commerce slightly absent-minded. Responding, he continued to speak.

"It's suddenly a lot more peaceful, and people are more friendly than before."

"I understand." Lorraine Hill nodded obediently.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Holland wanted to continue explaining, but he opened his mouth and closed it again.Does she really understand? It doesn't look like it, but it's better not to continue explaining. You have to be more straightforward, so that you can give this girl a good impression.

Although he didn't realize it himself, after seeing this girl, he suddenly began to pay attention to his image, and his body also subconsciously changed a lot of movements, such as sitting more upright and his expression softer.

Meier on the side was drinking juice, occasionally looking at Lorraine Hill and her brother.Compared with the slightly slower Hollander, she discovered the strangeness of her brother today early.

After thinking about the reason for a moment, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly, her elder brother was probably fascinated by Miss Recia.However, it is understandable that even myself, who is also a girl, feels a little ashamed when I look at this girl.

This trip might change a lot because of this, she put the cup on the small round table, looked at the firelight reflected by the rim of the cup, thought to herself, then continued to turn her gaze to the blond lady in the red dress who was talking.

The night is cool in the pasture, and the bonfire shines on the beauty.

Chapter 77 Fur Trading

After getting acquainted with the siblings, the two caravans started a parallel journey.

Lorraine Hill wanted to meet the shamans of those big tribes, and the Lamia Chamber of Commerce happened to go to those big tribes to purchase and trade.

The carriage formed a long snake on the ground, leading to the tents in the distance.

Most of these large felt tents are white, surrounded by a circle of vertical wooden slats, covered with felt cloth and the like, with round spires on top, very similar to the grassland buildings in the girl's memory.

Perhaps this is the inevitability of the environment. Even if they did not inherit the knowledge from the past, the creatures in this world have developed similar things.

The convoy stopped at the periphery of the felt tents, and a tall and strong man wearing a leather vest came out. There were two huge upward curved horns on both sides of his head, and strange tattoos on his body, giving him a powerful look. pressure.

"Long time no see, Holland." The three-meter-long horned orc stretched out his big rough hand and shook hands with Holland. The scene was like a giant beast facing a chicken.

"It's been three years. I didn't expect you to grow so tall, Stanley." Holland looked at the boy with horns who almost couldn't recognize him three years ago.

"Hahaha." The strong man laughed loudly, his voice was as loud as thunder, and could be heard for miles around.

"Life has gotten better in the past two years, forget it, let's not talk about it, let's go into the house and talk, you are here to buy goods this time, right?"

"Yes." After speaking, the two were about to walk in, but Holland stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter?" The big man asked in a puzzled voice, his voice was extremely thick.

"Almost forgot, there are two more coming over, one is my younger sister, and the other is also the leader of the caravan."

After finishing speaking, Holland greeted, and the attendants behind him also trotted to inform the rear. Afterwards, the doors of the two carriages opened, and two girls walked out, one was Meier, and the other was Luo Lanxi you.

After several people entered the tall felt tent, they sat down around the open space in the middle and began to talk.

"This Miss Rezia is the leader of the Lagertes caravan. I happened to meet her on the road and happened to drop by, so she came with us." Hollandt introduced.

"Recia, this branch of the Niujiao tribe, the son of the Chijia tribe chief, Stanley."

"Hello." Rezia saluted slightly, and looked at the inside of this yurt. The space is very wide, and there is only white ash left in the open space in the middle, which should be left over from the usual barbecue and life.

"Hello."

Stanley nodded. Although he was surprised by the girl's appearance, he was more concerned about the Lamia Chamber of Commerce's transactions this year, because it was related to the livelihood of the entire tribe in the next year.

"How many goods will the Lamia Chamber of Commerce purchase this year?"

"Hehe, you also know this. As long as the quality is good, we basically charge as much as we have." Holland said boldly.

The burly man with ox horns sat on a thick wooden chair, raised his big palm and waved it before speaking.

"This year is different from the past. Our output must be enough, but I don't know if Master Holland can afford the price."

Stanley leaned on a chair made of thick logs, thinking about his harvest this year, the corner of his mouth unconsciously curled into an arc.

Since the Flame Diva brought brand new pasture seeds two years ago, various tribes on the grassland have rushed to plant them.This kind of pasture called alfalfa can be described as a godsend. It can be produced on various lands, and the yield is extremely high, so there is no need to rotate pastures as before.

As a result, the grazing land on the grassland seems to have doubled by 3-4 times, and some previous conflicts also have a lot of room for buffering.

And after these two years, livestock production has gradually increased, and it can be predicted that all this is only just beginning.

Of course, you can't tell all of this to the 'old friend' in front of you. If the other party knows the specific market, they will definitely take the opportunity to lower the price.The best way is to sign a long-term supply contract this time to ensure that these goods can be sold at a good price in the next few years.

Outsiders think that the Niujiao clan is stupid and rough, but in fact there are many smart individuals among them, and Stanley is one of them. Under the rough appearance, he has a keen heart.

"Oh, it seems that your tribe is doing well this year."

Holland was a little surprised. The merchants knew about the situation on the grassland because of their business dealings. Seeing Stanley's confident appearance, he probably defeated several nearby tribes and gained a lot of pastures in the past two years. and loot.

"Can I have a look at the goods first?"

"No problem." Stanley put his two big hands on the handrails, stood up directly, and led the three out of the big tent to the warehouse behind the tribe.

Lifting off the thick waterproof cloth, the bundled furs were displayed in front of everyone. Stanley randomly pulled out a few of them and placed them on the table beside them for Holland and Lorraine Hill to watch.

Holland picked it up and looked at it carefully, twisted it slowly with his hands, and even smelled the smell. It seemed that his technique was very skillful.Meier and Lorraine Hill stood aside, just touched it with their hands a little, and did not make any unnecessary movements.

Meier did this because she believed in her brother's ability, while Lorraine Hill was able to understand the situation of these goods without having to do that because she was assisted by the system and her own extraordinary perception.

Although she was calm on the surface, the girl shook her head inwardly.

These furs may be good in the first place, but the tanning techniques and techniques are too crude, so that the appearance is a bit slippery, and they will even rot if stored for a long time.The same is true for the goods she saw at the border market some time ago.

After the animal's fur has just been peeled off, there will be foreign matter such as fat and flesh and blood, which is not clean, and even smells.

To really make a coat or a blanket, you have to start with cleaning, scraping, soaking, tanning, and then shaping, dyeing, embalming, etc. There was a whole set of technological processes in the previous civilization.

In today's world, although in the high-end field, because of its extraordinary power, it can provide products and services that are not inferior to the past, but in the field of ordinary people's livelihood, there is still a long way to go.

“Excellent quality batch!”

After checking several pieces, Holland couldn't help giving a thumbs up and praised loudly.He seemed very satisfied with the way he looked.

"Hahaha, I didn't lie to you, brother." Stanley also laughed, and patted Hollandt's shoulder with his big hand, making the latter's body tremble. Fortunately, this person also has the strength of Sequence 2. It won't be shot down all at once.

"Then let's sign a contract for the next two years."

Putting down their fur, Stanley and Holland walked to another large tent, where today's fine wine and feast were being prepared, and they were ready to discuss the next matters while eating.

Lorraine Hill watched the two walk out of the tent talking and laughing. Knowing the current grassland situation, she naturally knew the plan of the horned man, and couldn't help but feel amused.

It seems that there are many smart guys in this group of orcs.

But that's fine, smart people can at least be reasonable, if it's really those stubborn people, she really doesn't know what to do.

Chapter 78 Conversations and Poems

At night, Hollandt and Stanley got drunk at the dining table, they were shoulder to shoulder, their voices were muffled, and they talked about some bad things in their early years.

Meier and Lorraine Hill naturally withdrew when they were halfway through eating, and the two walked in the open space beside the convoy.

After chatting for a while, the two gradually became acquainted.

"How old is Rezia this year? She looks about the same as me." Meier looked curiously at the girl beside her.

This question stumped Lorraine Hill all at once, how should one calculate one's age, physical age, mental age, or psychological age?

"This... is about 17 years old."

Lying is not a good boy, but sometimes telling the truth can make you feel unbelievable. After a few seconds of hesitation, Lorraine Hill had no choice but to answer like this.

"Yeah, don't you remember your age?" Meier blinked curiously, looking at the blonde girl in the red dress.

"Because of some things in my early years, I don't know my specific birthday, so this is not very clear." The girl could only explain in this way.

"Giggle, Rezia is so interesting." Meier chuckled softly.

"I am also 17 years old this year, and my brother is 25 years old this year."

"Aren't the family worried about Leizia going out alone? For my family, my father always asks his elder brother or elders to be by his side to be at ease."

"I said that girls are easy to be deceived when they go out alone, as if they are afraid that others will take advantage of this to get involved in the family business."

"This is indeed possible." Lorraine Hill looked at Meier in front of him. Although this girl is not as stunning as Funo, she is also quite pure and cute, and she is the kind of existence that makes people love and worry .

"Don't say that." Meier jumped and trot forward a few steps, then stopped, turned around and looked at Lorraine Hill.

"Rezia hasn't answered my question yet."

Lorraine Hill raised his head slightly, stroked the hair beside his ears with his hands, and answered, "In my family, I'm the only one at the moment, so no one will worry."

After hearing this answer, Meier opened her eyes wide and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to ask."

"It's nothing. Actually, I got used to it a long time ago. It's very free to be alone, and I don't have to worry about too many things." The girl looked at the vast starry sky above her head, and the Milky Way star sand was faintly visible in it.
