Chapter 96 Ender's Business
A black carriage slowly drove along the road.
"Mr. Sort, Lord Tilles' territory is ahead." Merchant Marvin said politely.
Ander Tilles is not a big deal in the North, but in the eyes of those who are interested,
Mr. Sort had a rectangular face with a serious expression and a pair of blue eyes, about thirty years old.
The thick brown hair and a neatly-tight beard - of course, the beard is also brown - make him look like a secretary or lawyer.
"I heard that Lord Tilles is very young?" asked Sort.
"Yes, Lord Tilles is only sixteen years old this year," Marvin replied.
"This is a miracle."
"Who said no? Lord Tilles is an orphan. He has no backing. He has killed many thieves with his superb martial arts. He was awarded the title because of his military achievements." Merchant Ma Wen introduced.
This Mr. Sort was introduced by Lord Rodney, who was the father-in-law of Baron Leicester. His request was not excessive, and a small person like Marvin dared not refuse.
The two chatted without a word, and soon entered Lord Tilles's lord.
"Stop!" A wooden pole was placed on a wooden rack, blocking the carriage from moving forward.
On the side of the road, two men walked out of a small wooden house: "This is Lord Tilles' territory. Do you have permission to pass?"
Marvin poked his head out of the carriage: "When will the level be set here?"
"Ah, is it Mr. Ma Wen? This is Mr. Tang En's order. This is the level set up yesterday - please enter."
Seeing Ma Wen's face, the two men quickly stepped forward and moved the wooden pole away.
After crossing this temporary level, the carriage continued to move forward.
It can be seen that the road has been renovated. Although it is still a bit bumpy, the feeling of bumpy carriage driving on it is not strong.
On both sides of the road, pits were neatly dug, and I don’t know what they were for. A large piece of wood frame could be seen in the distance, and it looked like a large building was being built from a distance.
Many people are busy there, but the distance is still far, and some of them cannot see clearly.
The carriage walked a while and soon came to the front of a park. This is an expanded park with Ander Hunter Hunters as the center. Currently, other places are under construction, and only here can receive guests.
A thin but energetic old man stood at the door in a decent tuxedo.
"I'm sorry, I'm disturbing you, Mr. Tang En." Sort took two steps first and bowed slightly.
"You are - Sort?" The old man frowned, stared at Sort for a moment, and finally remembered who he was.
"Yes, Mr. Tang En."
"Are you okay now? Who are you serving?"
"Teacher Done, I am now serving Sir Rodney and I am the business representative of Lord Rodney."
Sort Bislow's identity is not simple, he is a member of the Black Snake.
He once pretended to be a wanderer and studied under Tang En for a while, and almost became a servant of the Castle of Locoway. However, in the end, he failed to successfully pass the review and assessment of the Locoway leader and failed to successfully invade the enemy.
But it is precisely because of this that he can come to see Lao Tangen openly.
But that's another problem.

"This can be considered, but what price will Lord Rodney be willing to pay for it?"
Old Tang En nodded. This situation was already as expected. Even before Ender left the territory, he asked Ender for a response plan for commercial cooperation.
"Lord Rodney authorized me to negotiate, but since you are here, I will just say it directly-Lord Rodney hopes to obtain exclusive agency rights, he can give two small silver coins for each piece of small furniture, one large silver coins for medium furniture, and two large silver coins for large furniture."
Sort's offer is actually slightly lower than the price of retail furniture in and out of the Ender Territory for this period of time, which can be said to be a very kind offer.
Lord Rodney also hopes to win over Ender and protect him to the capital Karanju next spring, and he will not propose harsh cooperation conditions at this time.
"This price is very reasonable, but Lord Rodney wants exclusive agency rights, so how many pieces of furniture can he sell for us every month?"
When talking about business, Old Tang En asked with a smile.
"More than fifty pieces!" Saut said affirmatively.
Lord Rodney had no territory in Leicester, only chambers of commerce and shops. And not only in Leicester, he had shops in the royal capital Karantuo and the city of Grae, and it was no difficulty in selling fifty or sixty pieces of cheap furniture every month.
"Fifty items are too few, I'm afraid we can't hand over the exclusive agency to you." Old Tang En shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal.
This world doesn't quite understand the power of standard parts plus assembly-based operations.
With standard measuring tools manufactured by Ande and forcibly promoted and used in the territory, standard boards made by plywood technology, and simple sawing machines that are pulled by cows, Ande's furniture manufacturing workshop has begun to take shape.
Amilia has little knowledge and doesn't know what this production method and these simple-looking furniture splicing parts mean. However, Lao Tangen almost popped up his eyes when he saw Ander's furniture workshop for the first time.
In Ande's furniture workshop, a piece of furniture can be made every ten minutes, and as the leaders become more and more skilled, the speed is still accelerating.
——————————————
In the evening, after a day of running and exploring the way, soldiers who had been running forward and found a flat ground on a low mound.
Everyone cleared the grass, opened up a piece of open space, dug a few pits on the ground, and built a fire pit with stones.
These are the key points for adventurers and mercenaries to camp.
The grass that blocks sight must be cleaned, otherwise wild animals can hide in the grass and approach the camp, not to mention that small things like snakes and insects will hide in the grass - they pose a greater threat to adventurers than ordinary beasts.
As for digging a fire pit, it is because it is late autumn, and the plants and trees are drying a little. If you don’t want to cause a fire, this kind of fire prevention measures is very important.
The carriages are on the periphery, and on the one hand, it can be used as a defensive facility, and on the other hand, the personnel on the night can gain a better view on the carriage.
By the fire pit in the middle of the clearing, Telligan, Corey and Emilia looked at Ender with a gaze, or rather, at the rabbit in his hand.
The rabbit was roasted red and looked delicious.
But Ende did not distribute the rabbit to everyone.
A single-edged narrow-edge dagger with a curved edge jumped and flashed in Ander's hand, and the rabbit meat was peeled off one by one and landed on the wooden plate prepared in advance.
Then Ande took out the sharpened wooden sticks and put them all up.
These things may be cumbersome, but Ender is orderly in doing it.
He opened his hands on his left and right, and his ten fingers were dazzling. It didn't take long to get a hill-like skewers on the wooden plate - not only a rabbit, but also an unfortunate wild boar contributed two front legs.
Looking at the skewers that were grilled red and smelling the fragrant smell, Corey couldn't help swallowing.
"End, can you eat now?" Cory asked anxiously.
Swallowing and breathing will be contagious. Although Tligan and Emilia did not speak, they also made a swallowing move.
"I have to wait, it'll be fine soon."
As Ander said, grabbing a handful of meat skewers and setting them on the flames to roast them.
At the same time, he touched the box next to him and grabbed some powder and sprinkled it on top of the barbecue.
This world is not very particular about food, no, it is very negligent.
As a condiment for dishes, a few spices are not only poor in variety, but also extremely expensive. That's all, but even salt and honey are luxury goods.
How luxurious is it? Among ordinary gentry, putting salt in tea is the standard for entertaining guests. Can you believe this?
As a member of the foodie in the Heavenly Kingdom, Ande hated such a simple food standard, but since objective conditions were insufficient, Ande could only rely on himself.
Shennong did not have the courage to taste the hundred herbs - in this fantasy world, although there were not many poisons that could seal the throat at the entrance, there were still some.
Therefore, it was not until after learning a lot of knowledge about doctors apprentices from Sellers, who defected to Ander, that Ander began to experiment on a large scale with which plants could be used for seasoning.
Ender doesn't expect to become a doctor, just don't get poisoned when trying out condiments.
These powders are powders that Ender screened from various known medicinal herbs, and tasted similar to cumin, pepper, pepper and sesame plant.
"Sher————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
At the same time, an indescribable spicy smell emanated.
"The God of War is here! Ender, I think it's definitely something to eat! Come on, give me two skewers first."
Smelling this smell, Corey couldn't help it. He said that the barbecue was definitely ripe and there was no need for further processing. Now it was time to enter Mr. Corey's belly.
"Wait a little longer, it'll be fine soon." Ender turned over the skewers and sprinkled powder on the other side.
"Gudong--" Tligan couldn't help swallowing again, the fragrance was really irresistible.
"Gululu--" Amilia didn't swallow her saliva, but her stomach rang.
The camp was originally quiet, and the soldiers all looked over here.
Not to mention the rustic people in this world, even on the earth, the aroma of kebabs can attract a large number of foodies.
However, three of the four of Ender and others were nobles with titles and their lords. These soldiers did not have the courage to come over and ask for sharing.
"alright!"
Ander first handed two skewers of barbecue to Amilia beside him, then divided the remaining four skewers into two, and delivered them to Trigan and Corey respectively.
"Be careful of it being hot-" Before Ender finished speaking, Corey screamed, obviously burning his tongue.
"Haha"
"Ha ha--"
Although the freshly grilled skewers are very hot and a little spicy, this difficulty cannot stop the foodie from being determined.
Ender was already amazingly fast, but he had just grilled the other six skewers of barbecue, and before he could turn it over, six bare wooden sticks were neatly placed in front of him.
You know, Ender is not a kebab, and he doesn’t need to consider any cost issues.
Just now, there were six pieces of meat on each skewer, and each piece of meat was the same size as the middle part of the chicken wings on the earth. Most people can eat one skewer without hunger, and two skewers can be full.
