Chapter 46 big purchases

Robb walked in front, Lillian followed with a small bamboo basket, the master and the servant walked leisurely to the town center.

It was almost early July when I moved into this town, but now it’s early August, and Robb ran out for the second time, because he was so lazy, he hadn’t been out for a month. Church gate.

On this rare trip, I found that Westwind Town was a little different from the last time I went shopping. Many families in the town are building water towers, and there are screw pumps everywhere. It is really spectacular. The water towers are also hung with iron or copper water pipes.

Because mining is the Ranked 1st industry among the four major industries in Westwind Town, even the poorest townspeople in Westwind Town can easily get a lot of iron and copper. Some people follow Robb and use Iron pipes were used, but some senior townspeople who often deal with metals did not follow Robb and chose copper pipes instead.

Robb suddenly remembered when he saw the copper pipe: Since there is copper, I shouldn’t use iron for the water pipe. Copper is less prone to oxidation and rust, and is much better than iron pipes. Aiya has fallen into the way of thinking of the original world. In the original world, the motherland is a relatively copper-deficient country. The limited copper is not enough to make some copper coins, so the Chinese people have used iron to make various items since ancient times. In this world, copper doesn’t seem to be a rare thing, and these people don’t feel bad about using it as a water pipe.

Robb turned to Lillian and said, “Help me remember that when we get home, we have to invite the blacksmith to come back and replace all the water pipes in the house with copper pipes.”

Lillian Rop nodded. “Okay, master.”

<< ', Robb waved to everyone, imposing manner of leading the way to the countryside.

When the town center arrived, Robb saw a large group of townspeople from afar, thinking that the group of people was blocking his view, when he heard a townsman shout: ” Father is here!”

The townspeople who were surrounded immediately separated to both sides as if they had been slashed by “Strong Huashan”, making way for Robb. Min also bowed and saluted together: “Father, you first.”

Robb was a little sorry for them, said with a smile: “I said, you are too polite to me.”

The townspeople respectfully said: “It should be!”

Well, it’s okay for my son to be polite to the father, but can you sell things to the father without charging ? Robb groaned in his heart, and then passed through the welcome array put up by the townspeople and walked in front of the “roving businessman”.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I’m happy to see that this itinerant businessman is actually a dwarf, short and short, only as high as Robb’s waist, and the big head accounts for one third of the total height, because The head is so big that a small moustache actually drags to the waist. He’s also staring wide-eyed at Robb, looking very interested.

Behind the dwarf businessman, a group of servants guarded a cart full of dazzling goods, and Robb glanced at it and saw bundles of linen, cotton, and salt. jars, pepper jars, herbs, and some miscellaneous daily necessities, because there are so many types, it is impossible to see.

“Oh dear sir.” The gnome opened the mouth and said: “I come to Westwind Town every two months, but the last time I came here there was no priest, didn’t expect now With someone who is so young and handsome, you are really a talent.”

As soon as they met, they turned on the flattery mode, which was indeed a businessman’s true character. Robb smiled and accepted the flattery: “I also feel that I am a good character. Very handsome.”

The dwarf strangely said: “Pinch?”

Robb said with a smile: “Oral addiction, don’t pay attention to such details! Let me take a look at yours Commodities.”

The dwarf quickly said respectfully, “Please choose as you like.”

Robb walked to the car, looked closely, and immediately found a roll of silk, followed by the dwarf merchant His eyes were quickly introduced: “Mr. Father, you really know the goods. These are high-level goods shipped from Eastern Earth Great Tang. They are used to make clothes that are light and lightweight, soft and sticky to the skin, not cotton. Come on, it’s very popular among princes and nobles…”

Speaking of which, he leaned close to Robb’s ear and whispered: “Especially suitable for women to make pajamas, tsk tsk , reach out and touch it, that feel, hehehe…”

Robb certainly knows this, and he also knows that the robe made of silk is more high-end than the magic cloth and cotton cloth, whether it is defensive power, The additional intelligence and magic strength are even better, and the effect of random enchantments can also bring it up a level. This kind of thing can only be imported from Eastern Earth Great Tang. It is very rare in the West and is not easy to buy at ordinary times. Save more can’t be wrong.

He said with a smile: “Very good, I want this, how many do you have?”

“I have ten!” The dwarf merchant heard that Robb wanted to buy it, With a bright smile on his face: “one gold coin per horse.”

Robb said with a smile: “I want it all.”

The cotton cloth is only 10 Silver One piece of coin, silk actually requires a gold coin, which is ten times more expensive than cotton. Of course, ordinary townspeople will not buy it. In fact, it is difficult to sell this thing in the western border towns, and it is only occasionally sold by the town. It was enough to buy one, Robb bought ten at once, which made the dwarf merchant happy, took the money Lillian handed over with a smile, put it in his pocket, and his servant put ten silks in his pocket. into Lillian’s hands.

Lillian couldn’t hold ten pieces of silk at all, but fortunately there were enthusiastic townspeople nearby to help hold it.

Robb bought another big jar of salt, vanilla powder…everything he couldn’t get in Westwind Town, he bought a lot of it and didn’t even need it.

However, after such a mess, Robb doesn’t have much money left. Last time he made 100 gold coins selling wyvern leather armor, it seems like a lot of money, but he spends a lot of money on things, and also publishes Bounty Mission randomly, plus this time big purchases, the money on hand All of a sudden then went more than half.

When his eyes turned to the large jar of peppers on the dwarf merchant’s trolley, Lillian couldn’t help tugging at Robb’s shirt and whispered, “Master, save it, don’t buy peppers. , you don’t have much money.”

“Oh, is our family running out of money?” Robb has always left it to Lillian to manage the money, and he doesn’t even know what he has. How many.

Lillian whispered: “We still have ten gold coins in our family, it’s not a problem to buy something else, but… pepper can’t be bought anymore, this thing is too expensive, comparable to Gold, one pound of pepper requires one pound of gold coin to buy, we’d better save a little now and stop buying such an expensive thing.”

Chapter 47 Buying Pepper in Five Days

“That’s not good!” Robb shook the head and said, “Pepper is a necessary seasoning for a series of dishes such as steak, chicken chop, pork chop, and lamb chop. Without this, our family has limited resources. The recipes have to be reduced again, and I don’t want it! For me, eating is the first major event, more important than conquering the world. I want to eat a variety of dishes, and all kinds of condiments are essential.”

Lillian said pitifully: “No matter how important food is to you, you have to have money! If you don’t have money, you can only eat potato bread.”

Then let’s make money , Robb took a piece of silk and walked behind a nearby dwelling. After a while, he turned out, and what he was holding became a silk robe with blue rays of light. He walked to the dwarf merchant, He took out the robe and said with a smile: “Mr. dwarf, are you interested in buying this dress?”

“wa!” The dwarf merchant found a loud exclamation: “This is really A good robe, looking at the workmanship, it is not Mortal Grade, coupled with the bright blue rays of light, it means that it has a very powerful spell buff enchantment… No mage or priest can resist its temptation. “

Robb said with a smile: “Then how much are you going to pay for it?”

“Ugh! I’m so sorry, it’s great, but I’m afraid to buy this thing.” The dwarf businessman said with an embarrassed expression: “Your clothes are worth at least a hundred gold coins, but you can see that I’m just a small businessman selling daily necessities, and the biggest order I’ve made in the past two months. The business is the ten pieces of silk you bought just now, but I only made two or three gold coins from that transaction. Because the purchase price of silk is very expensive, it will take me half a year to sell the silk. As for the other commodities, such as salt, cotton, etc., I can only earn some Copper Coin and Silver Coin… I dare not buy commodities worth 100 gold coins at all, otherwise, I will smash it. If I can’t sell it in my hands, I will go bankrupt because of the lack of liquidity.”

Robb thought to himself: Oh! And such a thing?

Well, it seems that although I have the ability to make extremely cool equipment, I may not be able to sell it.

The real world is not a game. There is an Auction House in the game. Players in all servers can easily buy your things from the Auction House, but in the real world, sales channels will limit your goods. sell.

The robes you just made may be wanted by many rich second-generation mages, but where are these rich second-generation people? I can’t find it myself.

This is the current situation in the Middle Ages, where producers and buyers cannot connect, and the circulation of commodities is extremely inconvenient.

Of course, Robb can also fly to a big city with a flying skill, so he can easily find a rich second generation or a big businessman. After finding out the specific location of the big city, he can even Using teleportation is very convenient to go back and forth (it is set in the game that only cities you have been to can use teleportation to go back and forth, and places you have not been cannot be teleported).

But that’s not in the spirit of “lazy”! If he is flying around the world in order to make a little money, what is the difference between him and doing “delivery tasks” in the game?

No matter how much money you make like that, it can only be called hard-earned money and errand money, which is to be spurned by the lazy spirit fiercely!

Is there any way to make money lazily?

Robb spread his hands and said: “What is your favorite thing to buy?”

The dwarf merchant said with a smile: “Everyone can afford it, it is very needed, and I Things that are easy to transport, such as pepper! This is a necessary ingredient for all kinds of high-level dishes, the price is very high, the profit is high, and it sells quickly. The rich people in major towns love to buy some, and It’s easy to transport, and if I can get it at a low price, pack a few big carts, it’ll sell out quickly and easily…like, you’d love to buy it, wouldn’t you?”

Robb was happy: “I wanted to sell you something for pepper, but you said you wanted pepper, didn’t you mean to make fun of me? As far as I know, pepper is simply not produced in the West, and this thing must come from the East It’s only worth the price of gold. If you say that you want to buy it here, it’s just bullshit.”

“Don’t dare!” The dwarf businessman respectfully said: “No one dares to tease a person. Father, I just said what I wanted to say.”

“Well, now I know exactly what to do.” Robb asked with a smile, “How many days will you be in Westwind Town? “

“Five days!” The gnome merchant said with a slight smile: “I stay in each town for five days, and then leave for the next town.”

“Five days Well? Very good!” Robb said with a slight smile: “Five days later, before you leave Westwind Town, come to my church and get the money to buy pepper, I’ll make you a lot of money.”

The dwarf merchant respectfully said: “Okay, then I will definitely visit on time.”

Robb said: “By the way, before you come to me to buy pepper, first sell the pepper. Give me a handful of peppercorns.”

“Huh?” The businessman almost suspected that he had heard it wrong: “My father, you just said you would sell me peppers in five days, and now you are buying peppers to make. What? My purchase price is much lower than the selling price. If you buy pepper from me now and sell it back to me in five days, you will only lose a lot of money.”
