After the Full Level of the Profession

Chapter 46 Big Purchase

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

It was almost the beginning of July when I lived in this town, but now it's the beginning of August, and Robb ran out to go shopping for the second time, because he was so lazy that he hadn't been out of the church gate for a whole month.

This rare trip to the street, only to find that Xifeng Town is 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.

Since mining is the number one industry among the four major industries in Xifeng Town, even the poorest townspeople in Xifeng Town can easily obtain a large amount of iron and copper. Some people followed Robb and used iron pipes, but Some senior townspeople, who often deal with metals, did not follow Robb and chose copper pipes instead.

When Robb saw the copper pipe, he suddenly remembered: Since there is copper, I shouldn't use iron for the water pipe. Copper is less likely to oxidize and rust, and is much better than iron pipes. Oh, I fell into the way of thinking of the original world. In the original world, the motherland was a relatively copper-deficient country, and the limited copper was 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 and replace all the water pipes in the house with copper pipes."

Lilian nodded and said, "Okay, master."

Continuing to walk forward, the townspeople who met along the way all bowed respectfully to Robb. From time to time, someone could be heard calling "Good morning, My Father". Robb waved to everyone, showing the momentum of leading the way to the countryside. .

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

The townspeople who were surrounded immediately seemed to have been slashed by "Strengthening Huashan", and separated to both sides, making way for Robb. ."

Robb was a little embarrassed by what they did, and smiled: "I said, you are too polite to me."

The townspeople respectfully said, "It should be!"

Well, it's okay for a son to be polite to his dad, but can you sell things to dad without charging? Robb groaned in his heart, and then passed through the welcome array set 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, only as high as Robb's waist, and his big head accounts for one-third of his total height. A small moustache actually dragged to his waist. He was also staring at Robb with wide eyes, looking very interested.

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

"Oh, dear Mr. Father," the dwarf said, "I come to Westwind Town every two months, but the last time I came here, there was no priest. I didn't expect there is one now, and he is still so young and handsome, you What a talent."

As soon as they met, they turned on the flattery mode. It was indeed the true nature of a businessman. Robb smiled and flattered: "I also think that my character is quite handsome."

The dwarf asked curiously, "Pinch?"

Robb said with a smile: "Oral addiction, don't pay attention to such details! Let me take a look at your products."

The dwarf hurriedly said respectfully, "Please choose at will."

Robb walked to the car, looked closely, and immediately found a roll of silk, the dwarf businessman followed his eyes and quickly introduced: "Mr. Father, you really know the goods, this is from the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty. Oh, the high-end goods used to make clothes are light and compact, soft and close to the skin, not comparable to cotton, and are very popular among the royals and nobles..."

Having said that, he leaned close to Robb's ear and whispered, "Especially suitable for making pajamas for women, tsk tsk, reach out and touch it, that feeling, hehehe..."

Of course Robb knows this, and he also knows that the robes made of silk are more high-end than those made of magic cloth and cotton cloth. Whether it is defensive power, additional intelligence, and magic power, they are better, and the effect of random enchantments can also be better. Going upstairs, this kind of thing that can only be imported from the Eastern Land and Tang Dynasty is very rare in the West, and it is not easy to buy at ordinary times. It is not wrong to save more.

He smiled and said: "Very good, I want this thing, how many do you have?"

"I have ten!" The dwarf merchant heard that Robb was going to buy, with a bright smile on his face: "One gold coin for each."

Robb laughed: "I want it all."

Cotton cloth is only 10 silver coins per piece, and silk actually costs one gold coin, which is ten times more expensive than cotton cloth. Of course, ordinary townspeople will not buy it. In fact, it is very difficult to sell this thing in the western border towns. The mayor would buy one. Robb bought ten at once, which made the dwarf businessman happy. He took the money from Lillian with a smile and put it in his pocket, while his servants took it. Ten pieces of silk were placed in 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... Anything that he couldn't buy in Westwind Town, he bought a lot of it, and it didn't matter if he didn't need it.

However, after such a trick, Robb didn't have much money left. Last time, he made a hundred gold coins from selling flying dragon leather armor, which seems to be a lot of money, but he spent a lot of money on buying things, and he also randomly released bounties. In addition to this big purchase, the money in his hands The son went for more than half.

When his eyes turned to the large jar of pepper on the dwarf merchant's trolley, Lillian couldn't help but tugged at the corner of La Roble's shirt and whispered, "Master, save it, don't buy pepper, you don't have much money. already."

"Oh, is our family running out of money?" Robb never cared about money, but left it to Lillian to manage it. He didn't even know how much he had.

Lillian whispered: "We still have ten gold coins in our family, and 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 is enough It takes a pound of gold to buy it, and 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 his 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's limited recipes would have to be reduced in variety. Now, I don't want it! For me, eating is the top priority, 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 come to think of making money. Robb took a piece of silk and walked to the back of a nearby dwelling. After a while, he turned out, and what he was holding became a silk robe with blue light. He walked up to the dwarf merchant, took out the robe, and said with a smile, "Mr. dwarf, are you interested in purchasing this dress?"

"Wow!" The dwarf merchant found a loud exclamation: "This is really a good robe, the workmanship is not ordinary, coupled with the blue light, it shows that it is very attached The magic-boosting enchantment of . . . no wizard or cleric can resist its temptation."

Robb smiled and said, "Then how much are you going to pay for it?"

"Uh! I'm very sorry, although it is very good, but I dare not buy this thing." The dwarf merchant said with an embarrassed expression: "Your clothes are worth at least a hundred gold coins, but you can see that I am just a seller. Small businessman of daily necessities, the biggest business I have done in the past two months is the ten pieces of silk you just bought, but I only made two or three gold coins from that transaction, because the silk The purchase price is very expensive, and it took me half a year to sell it after I bought it. As for the other commodities, such as salt, cotton cloth, etc., I can only earn a few copper coins and silver coins. I don't dare to buy goods with a hundred gold coins, otherwise, if I can't sell them 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 incomparable equipment, I may not be able to sell it.

The real world is not a game. There is an auction house in the game, and players on the entire server can easily buy your things from the auction house, but in the real world, sales channels will limit the sale of your goods.

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 status quo in the Middle Ages. Producers and buyers cannot connect, and the circulation of commodities is extremely inconvenient.

Of course, Robb can also use a flying technique to fly to a big city, and 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 use the teleportation technique very conveniently. Back and forth (it is set in the game that only cities that have been visited can be used to travel back and forth, and places that have not been visited 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 in that way, it can only be called hard-earned money and errand money, which will be severely spurned by the spirit of laziness!

Is there any way to make money lazily?

Robb spread his hands and said, "What's your favorite thing to buy?"

The dwarf merchant smiled and said: "It's something that everyone can afford, need it, and I can easily transport it, for example, pepper! It's a necessary material for making all kinds of high-end dishes, the price is high, the profit is high, and it sells very well. Come on, the rich people in the big towns love to buy some, and this thing is easy to transport, if I can buy it at a relatively low price, and put it on a few large cars, I can easily sell it all quickly... For example, you'd be tempted to buy, wouldn't you?"

Rob was delighted: "I wanted to sell you something for pepper, but you said you wanted pepper, didn't you mean to play with me? As far as I know, pepper is not produced in the West at all, and this thing must be shipped from the East, That's why it's more expensive than gold. You're talking about buying it here, that's bullshit."

"Don't dare!" The dwarf businessman said respectfully: "No one dares to tease a priest, I just say what I want to say."

"Okay, now I know what to do." Robb asked with a smile, "How many days will you stay in Westwind Town?"

"Five days!" The dwarf merchant smiled and said, "I stay in each town for five days, and then leave for the next town."

"Five days? Very good!" Robb smiled. "Five days later, before you leave Westwind Town, come to my church and prepare the money to buy pepper. I will make you a lot of money."

The dwarf merchant said respectfully, "Okay, then I will definitely visit on time."

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

"Hey?" The businessman almost suspected that he had heard it wrong: "My father, you just said that you would sell me pepper in five days, so why are you buying pepper now? 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."
