Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Hiran." Sheeran replied, clasping her little hands together.

"Liu Feng." Liu Feng slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and introduced softly, "Nicole and Mina are next to you."

"Come, please have a taste of my cooking." Nicole put the grilled fish on a plate and handed it to Hiran, "I hope you like it."

"Thank you." Xi Lan quickly took the plate, looked at the white tableware in her hand, the shiny knife and fork, her brown eyes were slightly focused, she felt that the name Liu Feng was a little familiar.

"This..." Xilan was stunned after taking the first bite. Is this really fish? Why is it completely different from the fish she cooked before?

"What? Isn't it to Miss Hilan's taste?" Nicole said softly.

"No, it's not." Xilan shook her head quickly, and said seriously, "This fish is very delicious, and it's the best food I've ever eaten."

"That's good, you eat a little more, I still have a lot here." Nicole said softly, and then put another grilled fish on Xilan's plate.

"Thank you." Xi Lan ate the fish with a little restraint, sneaking glances at Liu Feng, Nicole, and Mina from time to time. These three gave her the feeling that they were not ordinary people.

"..."

After some eating, the four of them stopped to quietly enjoy the satisfaction of being full. Xilan's brown eyes rolled, thinking about Liu Feng's intentions.

"Miss Xilan, she must be the daughter of the Lord of Blackwater!" Liu Feng said with a smile on his lips.

"Ah?" Xilan opened her mouth slightly, stared blankly at Liu Feng, her eyes were even more vigilant, touched the knight's long sword on her waist with one hand, and said coldly, "Who are you? Why do you know me?"

With this movement, Mina's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and the saber appeared in her hand. As long as Xilan made any changes, the saber would cut the opponent's throat.

"Your clothes are not affordable for ordinary people." Liu Feng said lightly, there is one thing he didn't say, that is temperament and behavior.

"Uh..." Sheeran smiled apologetically, "I was reckless."

"I'm the Lord of Xiyang, and I'm here this time to meet with the Lord of Heishui to discuss cooperation." Liu Feng said lightly.

"You, you are Liu Feng, the lord of Xiyang City?" Xi Lan stood up abruptly, looking at Liu Feng in surprise.

"Miss Xilan knows me?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, the other party's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"No, I don't know, I just heard about it." Sheeran scratched her face embarrassedly, and glanced at the saber in Mina's hand, which made her feel terrified.

Recently, Liu Feng, the owner of Xiyang City, has been widely spread in the nearby cities. Some traveling merchants often brag about the changes in Xiyang City, Liu Feng's greatness, etc., so as to set off how outstanding their products are.

Xilan also just heard about it, and she didn't really believe it. According to the bragging of those wandering businessmen, Liu Feng was about to become the son of a god in the world, and everything was so perfect. How could there be such a person in the world?

"Oh?" Liu Feng nodded. It's normal for his reputation to spread, after all, Xiyang City has changed so much.

Xilan glanced at Liu Feng in amazement. Apart from his good looks and better clothes, he didn't see any special features. Yes, there is another point that life is very luxurious, and he also brings plates, stoves, etc. when he goes out.

"I wonder if Your Excellency Liu Feng wants to talk about cooperation with my father?" Xilan asked curiously.

"Miss Xilan, do you know about the Sahara prairie?" Liu Feng asked back. Blackwater City is a very good fodder supply station.

"The Sahara prairie? I know something about it." Sheeran nodded. Her father had sent people to the Sahara prairie to buy sheep and horses, but the orcs there were quite fierce.

Chapter 0379 cooperation reached.

"Then, Miss Xilan, do you know the situation in the Sahara Prairie?" Liu Feng picked up his teacup and asked calmly, "It's the situation of the tribe over there."

"Tribe?" Hiran was surprised, her beautiful eyes rolled around, and she nodded, "Our Blackwater City only has contact with two or three tribes in the Sahara prairie, and we have only had contact with one orc tribe in the past two years."

"Oh? Then, do these tribes have a lot of sheep?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that there were orc tribes.

"Sheep? Yes, one of the orc tribes has a large number of sheep, and the price is 10% cheaper than other tribes. My father even sent people to buy sheep in the summer." Hiran answered honestly, none of this. What secrets, you can find out with a little inquiring.

"Is that tribe far from Heishui City?" Liu Feng asked. This is the most critical question. If it is far away from Heishui City, this tribe will be eliminated by Liu Feng from the purchase options, and then he will choose a tribe that is closer.

"It will take three days by boat. That tribe is just at the edge of the Sahara prairie, next to the Blackwater River." Sheeran replied, she seemed to understand what the other party was going to do, buy sheep? Then what cooperation with Heishui City?

"Three days?" Liu Feng was very satisfied with the distance. In fact, he thought it would take four or five days.

It takes three days to reach the Sahara prairie from Heishui City, but the time to reach the tribe is not counted in it, but I did not expect that there are tribes directly located on the edge of the prairie. Is this being squeezed out by other tribes?

"What kind of person is the leader of this tribe?" Liu Feng asked again. This is very important. Only when you know the other party can you bargain.

"The leader of the orc tribe is very mysterious. None of the people we sent had seen the other leader." Hilan shook his head.

"Mysterious?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, was he afraid of being missed by the human race?

"Your Excellency Liu Feng, I don't know what cooperation you are talking about?" Sheeran asked curiously. She hoped that it would be a beneficial cooperation for Heishui City, not unilateral exploitation.

"Your Heishui City is short of food right now?" Liu Feng said slowly, turning the teacup, "I can support your food and help you survive the winter."

"..." Xilan's brown pupils constricted, her small hands were clenched into fists, and she suppressed her exclamation, and said calmly, "What do we need to pay in Heishui City?"

"Two conditions." Liu Feng held up two fingers and said calmly, "First, I need you from Heishui City to send me a letter to the leader of the orc tribe."

What he needs is an introducer, that is, a middleman. As for how to talk about it, that is between him and the leader of the tribe.

"Yes, I can agree to this." Sheeran frowned. The first condition was too easy, which made her more cautious about the second condition.

"Secondly, I need your Heishui City to deliver the mutton." Liu Feng looked at the stunned Xilan with black eyes, and said calmly, "Of course, it only needs to be delivered during the winter, and I will give Wheat as salary."

Heishui City is really responsible for the transportation of mutton. If people are sent from Xiyang City, the cost will be doubled at least. If Heishui City is responsible for the transportation, the cost will be reduced by more than half.

"Transport the mutton?" Xilan was really stunned. What kind of condition is this? Carry mutton from the orc tribe to Heishui City? Or Xiyang City?

"Yes, I need people from Heishui City to help me transport mutton from the Sahara prairie to Heishui City, no, to the Youshui River, where we have boats waiting." Liu Feng smiled lightly.

The Heishui River is frozen, and there are no icebreakers, so it can only be transported by hand. After the winter is over and the ice melts, live sheep will be transported by boat instead of slaughtered mutton.

"No, it's impossible." Sheeran shook her head, pursed her lips, and said in a deep voice, "We don't have so many draft horses in Heishui City, so if we rely on human power to move mutton, I'm afraid we can't move much mutton."

She also didn't say one more thing, if you rely on manpower to move the mutton, I'm afraid the time will be doubled, and it will take six days to move the mutton from the prairie to Heishui City. Not a fool.

"Carry the mutton by hand?" Liu Feng was stunned for a moment, then smiled in surprise, "No, this is the most stupid way."

In this cold winter, after slaughtering the sheep, it only needs to be placed in the open air for a few hours, and it will be frozen. This kind of weather is a natural large icehouse, and it can be transported in wooden boxes.

"But, we don't have extra horses in Heishui City." Xi Lan said in a low voice. In fact, she was very moved by Liu Feng's conditions. After all, helping with work to get food is a good thing for mutual benefit, especially for Heishui City. to say.

"I will talk to the orc tribe about the issue of the horses. You just need to send someone and bring the mutton." Liu Feng said lightly.

He believed that if he bought enough sheep, he would agree to ask the orc tribe to send some horses to transport the mutton. In addition, he would also use the ice sledge, so the amount of transport would be much more.

"If that's the case, I can agree on behalf of my father." Sheeran said with a serious face, all of this is good for Heishui City, especially when there is a shortage of food in winter, it is undoubtedly a timely help.

"Don't you need to discuss it with your father?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows, he admired Xilan's decisive character.

In fact, he didn’t say one more thing, that is, Heishui City will become a replenishment station for the sheep fleet in the future, an important transit point connecting the Sahara prairie, and some items on the prairie can be sold for a lot of coins, such as wool processing Afterwards, goat milk and more.
