[My family and I got a cover image from Taobao for three yuan, but I don't recognize the person in the image – it's probably an AI image, a game image, or something else. If you find any problems, please let me know. Thank you! *bows*]
More than thirty orcs entered the territory, and now the territory has more than two hundred slaves. They work ten hours a day, and those on probation work eleven hours a day. The territory is barely able to keep going.
However, if we want to start new businesses, we still need manpower!
"My lord, this is the clean, hardworking, and energetic woman you requested!"
Qin Yiyi stood inside the warehouse, looking at the three dark-skinned women in front of her.
Their clothes were simple, but very clean, and they even smelled of soap. They all had short haircuts, which are indeed less prone to falling out and easier to manage.
"Extend your fingernails!"
Three hands stretched out, their nails were all cut very short, and most importantly, there was no dirt in the crevices. In such an environment, these three women were particularly remarkable!
"Try it out for one day today. If you do well, I'll hire you!"
The three nodded, suppressing their excitement.
Being able to work personally under the lord is something that no one else can ask for!
"I want to make fish balls, but they must be handmade to be the best! So you guys will be in charge of the hand-making part!"
Qin Yiyi quickly prepared the grass carp, washing the fish meat, removing the skin, membrane, bones, and thorns, and then mincing it into a paste.
She didn't prepare much scallion, ginger, and garlic, mainly because they were hard to buy and expensive. However, the fish was quite good; after she purified the low-pollution fish, it became zero-pollution fish meat.
The fish meat needs to be repeatedly pounded with a rolling pin to make it more elastic!
Soon the task of pounding was handed over to three orc women.
Qin Yiyi started preparing steamed buns and seaweed rice rolls. Thanks to selling food in the Misty City as a mercenary, she had accumulated some savings. Not counting what she earned at other times, she had earned 500 gold coins from that one large order of 100 items.
This time, she planned to take a steamed bun and a seaweed rice roll to the Chaos Terminus.
Her communicator had received the message that the VIPs from the main city had arrived and were enjoying themselves in Chaos City. Because they were having so much fun, they had ordered the various lords to bring tribute items to him to collect crystals. This time, he wasn't planning to go to each territory to deliver the crystals to them. He was in high spirits this time, and besides, Chaos City was surrounded by the small territories of viscounts and barons. Otherwise, a minor official from the main city would never dare to do such a thing!
She had no choice but to ask for help, so she had to go there herself. Although she was the count's daughter, it seemed that she had been secretly abandoned here to fend for herself, without anyone being told that she was the count's daughter. These people only knew that she had a powerful guard, but they did not know her true identity.
Many people may be guessing who this wronged lord is, but they would never guess that she is the young lady of the noble and precious Ye Qin Earl's Mansion!
"The people in the main city are getting more and more outrageous! What kind of thing would they make you, young lady, personally deliver crystals to them?"
Qin Yiyi shook her head, stopping Sid from complaining.
"If he doesn't come, he'll never know about the changes in our territory. Otherwise, once he knows, he'll probably make exorbitant demands for money and goods. Should we give them to him or not?"
this....
"So it's better if he doesn't come... but if he does come... it'll cause unnecessary trouble!"
Sid nodded: "Miss is very thoughtful!"
***
Stepping into Chaotic Territory once again, Qin Yiyi's mindset was different. Now she could afford to eat and drink whatever she wanted, and she even had thousands of gold coins in her hands, so she could spend them as she pleased!
"Let's get our hands on the crystals first!"
Sid, you step in for me later. Anyway, they only care about money, not people. They'll give crystals to anyone who brings the lord's token and pays them!
Sid nodded.
Orcs are people who respect strength. Even though a pure-blooded human like Miss is very good at managing her territory and cooking, she still needs to have the strength to negotiate with others.
Otherwise, you'll be like a fragile pure-blooded human, getting punched to death.
Amidst the dazzling extravagance, they found the envoy from the main city.
Sid revealed his eagle-beastman wings, and the moment the other person smelled Sid's strong aura, they sobered up considerably.
"Cash on delivery!" The other party didn't want to make things difficult for Sid.
He looks like a tough and difficult guy!
Sid pressed down on the messenger's hand that was taking the goods. It was a groundhog's gene. If it weren't for the fact that it had climbed up to the powerful and become a messenger, who would care about such a little thing?
"I want a stronger crystal, so I hope the envoy can be lenient." As he spoke, Sid took out a thermal box and opened a corner of it.
"Zero-pollution food?" The groundhog's eyes lit up.
Sid's lips curled into a smile.
He whispered in his ear, "Zero-pollution amplification food!"
The groundhog gasped, causing all the dancers in the house to tumble out.
He covered the insulated box and hugged it tightly inside.
"Tell me what you want!"
“We’re a small territory, but exchanging for just one lowest-grade crystal each month is barely enough to last three days at the end of the month. You know, last month’s Sandstorm Day came half a day earlier, and we almost couldn’t hold on!”
The saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him."
"That was indeed the case last month, and I really sympathize with you!"
so....
"The territories surrounding Chaotic Territory are all small territories, but the Viscount Territory has larger crystals that can activate the protective barrier every day!"
"But the price..."
The original three-day event only cost ten gold coins plus head tax, land tax, and the like, totaling only twenty or thirty gold coins.
This one now.
"Starting at 300 gold coins..."
Sid did not speak.
The groundhog glanced at the insulated box.
"How about this, I'll give you a total of 330 gold coins? What do you think?" This was already a very sincere price he was offering, if it weren't for the fact that this food had zero pollution and could enhance its effects!
Three hundred gold coins is the price of this crystal. There are still thirty gold coins left to be calculated for land tax and head tax!
It has to be said that this is the psychological price. The young lady had previously instructed that anything under 500 gold coins could be obtained, and anything over 500 gold coins would be obtained by using some non-essential means!
"Then here are three hundred and thirty gold coins. I'll give you three hundred and fifty. The rest is for your trouble. Please feel free to buy some wine!"
The groundhog laughed loudly, but the laughter was quite unpleasant.
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be delivering the crystals every month from now on. We can talk things over then!"
He really likes this sensible person!
