Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

battle, every beastman will bring a sack of them.
Just bring a piece and cook with water.
The meat will become large again.
One small piece can feed an adult beastman for a meal.
It’s the best battle ration.”

Zhao Hai nodded.
He had heard of this method before.
Back on Earth, as a pretending military fan, he once saw a forum thread which detailed the method of creation for rations created during the times of Genghis Khan.
It was similar to what Wales just said.
Although Zhao Hai didn’t know if the thread was being truthful or falsifying, what Wales said should be true.

The making of jerkies didn’t seem to be of much use to Zhao Hai, because making them was too troublesome.
Even if they’re made, they might not be sold.
People who could afford mutton wouldn’t buy the jerkies.
Selling them to human troops on the continent would also be impossible, because troops had their own provision system, so they wouldn’t be having a rage over the jerkies.
People who couldn’t afford mutton would also not be able to afford the jerkies, because after processing, they would be more expensive than normal mutton.

But then Zhao Hai thought about it.
This type of jerky wasn’t completely without a market.
In opposite, the market wasn’t small.
He almost forgot that there was crowd of a very special occupation on the continent: mercenaries.

On Earth, mercenaries only existed in legends, which a homebody like Zhao Hai couldn’t possibly meet.
Mercenaries on Earth wouldn’t eat the jerkies as well, because they had their own provision lines.

But on Ark Continent, it’s different.
Those mercenaries would travel about in order to stay alive.
Sometimes they would engage in rather special missions which would have a long duration.
They would need to prepare a lot of edibles, and sometimes they had to hunt magic beasts in order to solve their hunger problems.

But many special missions wouldn’t let them receive additional provisions, so they could only only count on themselves.
The main ration of the mercenaries some time ago was normally a kind of large rough flatbread.
This flatbread was very hard, and it had to be boiled in water before it could be eaten.
It could be stored for a very long time, but the price wasn’t cheap as well.
As for the taste? Don’t count on it.

If Zhao Hai could really make the jerkies, then it would definitely be a blessing for the mercenaries.
The jerkies would not only guarantee the taste, they would also be easy to carry with even richer nutrients.
This would definitely be the mercenaries’ main selection.

Laura obviously never thought of all these, and neither did Wales.
To be concise, the taste of this battle ration could only be said to be common.
If it weren’t for a need during battles, beastmen wouldn’t make such jerkies.

After thinking about the use of jerkies, Zhao Hai’s face was full of smiles, “Thank you, my brother.
This suggestion of yours is too marvellous.”

Wales looked at Zhao Hai and replied, “You must know, my brother, that the taste of jerky isn’t too great.
We beastmen also don’t make them very much.
We only make them when we have to fight battles, and ones that are long in time and in distance.”

Zhao Hai laughed, “Of course I know, my brother.
But these jerkies are very suitable for type of people: mercenaries.
Beastmen have no mercenaries, but humans have many of them.
Every time and every moment there are mercenaries fighting, my brother.
This kind of battle ration is like the best of delicacy to them.”

Wales and Laura were both stunned as they never thought about this aspect.
Laura never made a lot of contact with mercenaries before.
Her main clientele was common folk, while mercenaries were of a lower level compared to them.
It could be said that they were people of 2 different worlds.

But you have to admit that on the continent, the amount of mercenaries were numerous.
It was force that didn’t attract attention, but it existed nonetheless.

Once Laura heard what Zhao Hai said, her eyes sparkled.
Her beyond ordinary business senses allowed her to discover the business opportunity immediately, but she thought that all of this still needed careful observation.

Wales looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Zhao Hai, you are a smart person.
You can even think of such an idea.
Now I’m really curious as to where your fief is.”

Zhao Hai smiled, “Brother Wales, my identity isn’t too welcomed for the humans, hehe.
That’s why no one knows where my fief is.
Alright, let’s not talk about this.
I want to open up a shop in Beast God City.
I need your help in this.”

Wales laughed, “My brother, what are you opening up a shop for? I want all of your grains and all of your vegetables.
What are you going to do that for?”

Zhao Hai laughed, “Believe me, my brother, you can’t digest the things in my hands.
Just the vegetables alone will be more than you can handle, hehe.
Of course, all of my things can supply the Herculean Bull Tribe first, and then sold to other people later, alright?”

Wales laughed, “My brother, I’ve been waiting those words.
You don’t need to worry about the shop.
I can help you settle it.
But brother, you must ready the grains for me.
We’re going to the Buffalo Tribe and Fighting Bull Tribe for a look.
Buffalo Tribe is my teacher’s tribe, and Fighting Bull Tribe has relative ties to me as well.
4 of my older sisters were married into there, so I want to solve their grain problems.”

Even though Wales spoke of his situation to Zhao Hai in order to cooperate with him, he still couldn’t trust Zhao Hai completely.
Besides, the things he told Zhao Hai could be heard from any tribe on the prairie.
The fighting between him and Gasol had long been public knowledge.
It wasn’t a big deal.

But grains were too important to Wales.
If Zhao Hai really had a lot of grains, then he would have hope in defeating Gasol.
But the pretext was that Zhao Hai really had the grains.

Zhao Hai didn’t object.
To him, cooperating with Wales was just for the sake of getting the Herculean Bull Tribe’s friendship flag.
It’s just as Zhao Hai said; he had grains in his hand and didn’t need to worry about selling them on Beastmen Prairie.
But if he could get the friendship flag, it would have a lot of benefits in later business on the prairie.

He was simply selling the grains.
What Wales would use them for and how to use them, wouldn’t be any of his business.
To be honest, Zhao Hai really didn’t want to be dragged into the conflict between Wales and Gasol.

There was a great difference between the situation among the beastmen and the humans, and that was humans had already been treated with hostility on Beastmen Prairie.
If Zhao Hai were inadvertently dragged into this sort of inner conflict of the beastmen, he would have nothing to gain.
This was something he didn’t want.
