Become the city lord from today
Chapter 19
Liu Feng stood by the window of the study, looking at the military camp not far away, his ears ringing with hoarse roars, and nodded with satisfaction.
This military camp is the foundation for his survival. As long as he has strong soldiers in hand, who dares to say that he can be killed?
"bang bang bang……"
There was a knock on the door, Liu Feng turned around and saw Nicole coming in with a tray.
"Master, afternoon tea is here."Nicole said softly, put down the tray, and took out a few exquisite snacks and a cup of brewed coffee.
Afternoon tea is an indispensable thing for the nobles here, and they usually eat one. Pastries made from lard, wheat flour, and mint leaves. The more advanced ones use butter.
After Liu Feng had it once, he said he would no longer eat this kind of afternoon tea. It was not for human consumption at all. , it’s so disgusting, you bite into it and it’s all greasy.
And the afternoon tea drinks that come with it include fermented wheat, very turbid malt wine, or a kind of tea made from bitter leaf tea.
Two drinks, Liu Feng had already drank it, and he could still drink the wheat wine, but the bitter leaf tea made him vomit it out.
The word"bitter" was like taking bezoar detoxification tablets, which made him feel nauseous. After all, few people can tolerate the tea made from raw bitter leaf tea and squeezed juice.
When Mei made the bitter leaf tea and snacks, Mina tried them with great interest and immediately made her vomit. After that, he drank two bowls of polished rice porridge immediately to avoid suffering from anorexia.
After that, Liu Feng taught Mei and Nicole how to make Earth version of pastries, which were immediately loved by both of them.
"Um!"Liu Feng went over, looked at the dim sum on the plate, was very surprised, and praised,"Nicole, your skills are getting better and better, and you are almost catching up with the dim sum masters in my hometown."
"Wow! Red bean cake!"Mina on the side was not polite. She reached out and picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth.
"tasty!"Mina was chewing red bean cake, her blue eyes were shining, her cat ears were trembling, and she was in a very happy mood.
"Come, try green tea!"Nicole was very happy when she saw that the snacks she made were welcomed. She took the teapot and poured Mina a cup of tea.
Liu Feng took a sip of the coffee he picked up, picked up a fork and pierced a piece of mung bean cake. After tasting it, he gave it to Mina and raised his hand. Thumbs up, making Nico laugh more and more happily.
Liu Feng brought green tea and coffee, and he also brought seeds. He believed that soon, he would be able to eat otherworldly versions of coffee and tea.
Liu Feng counted the two plates He put his heart into Mina's hands and asked her to eat aside. He looked at Nicole and said,"What's the matter? If you have something on your mind, your eyes will wander."
"ah?"Nicole couldn't help but her cheeks turned red. Why didn't she know she had this habit?
"Is there not enough food?"Liu Feng crossed his hands and supported his chin.
"Um! Because there are 140 extra soldiers, the wheat we purchased cannot last a few days."Nicole took out a notepad from her arms, which Liu Feng gave to her.
She wrote down a lot of things on it, such as how to make snacks, Liu Feng's favorite foods, habits, etc.
"Are those grain merchants raising prices again? Liu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked calmly,"How much did you mention this time?""
Nicole flipped through her notepad and said distressedly,"This time the grain merchant brought up another copper coin. Now the price of coarse wheat is four copper coins."
"boom! hateful!"Mina on the side slammed the table, stood up, and said angrily,"These unscrupulous grain merchants will make a fortune out of misery."
Liu Feng was very calm and said calmly,"They just want to make a lot of money before the autumn harvest."
"What to do? If this continues, many people in Xiyang City will starve to death."Nicole said anxiously
"Not urgent. Liu Feng comforted him,"How long does it take to transport food from the nearest city?" How many copper coins does it cost plus the cost price?"
Nicole immediately flipped through her notepad and reported shortly,"It takes four days to transport grain from the nearest city by water, and a pound of wheat costs three copper coins."
"So, how long can the wheat in our hands last?"Liu Feng's eyes were full of calculations.
"If you eat sparingly, you can last about eight days."Nicole responded immediately.
Liu Feng stood up, stood by the window, looked in the direction of the military camp, and said softly,"No need to save food, let Buff arrange someone to buy wheat immediately. I want three thousand people to eat for a month."
"yes!"Nicole responded quickly. She came to the desk, took a piece of white paper and wrote Liu Feng's request. She took out a seal from the cabinet and stamped it with Liu Feng's Chinese characters.
Liu Feng turned around and took out a pen, skillfully She signed her name in otherworldly writing. This scene happened many times in the past few days.
Nicole said that she was Liu Feng's head maid, but she was actually equivalent to a secretary. This was because Liu Feng's handwriting was a bit awkward. Ugly, usually written by Nicole.
"alright. Liu Feng rubbed Nicole's hair and chuckled,"If they want to raise the price of their wheat, let them raise it. I hope they won't rot in their hands.""
He thought of a brilliant plan. I'm afraid that after a while, no one will buy those people's wheat. When the autumn harvest comes, they will lose everything.
"Uh-huh!"Nicole blushed and ran away. She was going to convey Liu Feng's order.
"Mina, go check out the background of these grain merchants tonight. I want to know who is standing behind them. Liu Feng said with a slightly cold expression.
"No problem, leave it to me."Mina took out a saber and said confidently
"Please collect it, ask for flowers, and ask for votes."
