"Oh! It's you, Mr. Merchant." Robb laughed. "How long have you been away? You came back?"

Robb was greeting Probo when he saw a dwarf's head popping out of his back. It turned out that the itinerant merchant was also coming.

Chapter 72 Talking about business

Probo was doing big business, such as reselling slaves and high-end equipment, and he came to such a remote town only to collect good things, so he didn't bother to do business with the poor townspeople in the mountains.

The dwarf businessman is different, he is doing small business, fast-moving consumer goods, he is specializing in making small money from the townspeople, of course, pepper and silk can also make money from the rich.

The arrival of the two businessmen at the same time surprised Robb and greeted with a smile, "You two, please come in and sit down."

Probo and the dwarf businessman obviously knew each other. They operated in different categories, and there was no key to competition. The businessmen were happy to make money.

Lilian hurriedly placed three glasses of happy water on the stone table.

Probo picked it up and took a sip, and the expression on his face was very exciting, but he didn't mean to resell this thing, smiled and said to the itinerant merchant next to him: "I'm sure, you have the idea of ​​​​making this drink. ."

The itinerant businessman laughed and said, "That's right, I'm here to discuss this with Mr. Robert."

Probo said: "Is consumer goods profitable?"

The itinerant businessman smiled and said, "It doesn't make less money than your stuff."

Seeing that the two businessmen were about to talk, Robb hurriedly interrupted them and asked with a smile, "Don't you two only come to Westwind Town once every few months? Why did you come back so quickly this time?"

Probo immediately turned his head and said with a smile: "Of course, because Mr. Robert is in Westwind Town, it is very worthwhile to come again. I came back this time just to ask Mr. Robert. Master-level tanner friends, are there any new products, hehe... Just leave me a few pieces, and I'll take them upside down."

Luo Boqi said: "The last one sold so fast?"

"Yeah!" Probo said: "As soon as I arrived on the road of light, the flying dragon leather armor was spotted by two minor nobles at the same time. They tore the skin for several days, in order to grab the person who bought this leather armor. Priority, one of them actually promised to eat all my goods, so I sold him the dragon leather armor, slaves, and some gems brought from the original stone canyon. There is no need to go to the capital of the saints. Slap the ass and come back to stock up."

The itinerant merchant also said: "I'm pretty much the same here. When I arrived at the Bright Road, I traded pepper with a nobleman. I followed Mr. Robert's instructions and poured a glass of Fat House Happy Water for him to have a taste. I didn't expect that he immediately asked I bought my bucket of happy water, I said it was just a sample, and I wanted to give it to other customers, so I couldn't sell it. He said that as long as I was willing to sell him the whole bucket of samples, he would take my I bought all the peppers... So, I was empty-handed and had to come back to buy."

Robb couldn't help but be amused: "How boring are these nobles? Can't they spend a lot of money on their hands?"

Probo said with a smile: "That's true! These nobles have a lot of money in their hands, but they can't find a place to spend them. They are really in a hurry, so they need us to give them a little help."

Robb told Lillian a few words about this kind of money sent to his door, reporting that he didn't make it for nothing. After a while, Lillian brought two large bags of peppers from the warehouse, several buckets of happy water, and returned. There are a few pieces of equipment that Robb rubbed out when he was bored to count the sundries in the warehouse.

Both merchants got the goods, and Robb made hundreds of gold coins for nothing, and everyone was happy.

"Mr. Dwarf." Robb laughed. "Look at the socks my maid wears on her feet. How does it feel?"

The itinerant businessman didn't pay much attention to the situation around him just now, and his attention was on Robb. After listening to him, he looked at Lillian's legs. Growing socks... this thing will definitely be welcomed by the nobles."

"How is it? Do you want to buy some?" Robb smiled. "I'll probably have a steady stream of these socks made here in the future."

"Of course I have to buy it." The itinerant merchant said quickly: "I'm sure that this thing is also a good thing that can be sold in a blink of an eye."

"However, I don't have much of this stuff." Robb said with a smile: "It's too slow and too hard for my maid to do it alone. I don't want her to be exhausted. So, at this time, I have to Ask Mr. Probo for help."

Propo immediately understood: "Do you need more servants?"

"Exactly!" Robb said with a smile: "Men don't, as long as women are about the same age as Lillian."

"This is a small matter, please leave it to me to handle it." Probo said with a smile: "I will go to the poorest and most remote villages and towns nearby as soon as possible, and I will soon be able to buy you a lot of slaves. Guaranteed to be all beautiful and pure virgins, you also know that I only make high-end goods, and I will not sell those worthless rubbish maids."

Robb said angrily: "The maid who is only worth five gold coins dares to call it a high-end product. I'll wait for you to find me a good one who can confidently ask for 100 gold coins."

Probo said with tears and laughter: "Don't be hard on me, Mr. Robert, if you can ask for 100 gold coins, it must be at least the daughter of an aristocratic family in an enemy country. The kind that was caught during the war is too rare. If there was no war, would it be? Might get it."

Robb tilted his head: "So 100 gold coins can buy a noble's daughter? It's just a flying dragon leather armor! Hey, what's the price of the princess? I'm suddenly a little interested."

Probo Khan: "This... The princess must have the country destroyed before she can be sold as a slave girl... In the past ten years, there has been no major war, and no country has ever perished..."

"Haha, I'll just talk about it." Robb said, "I'm a good person, I never thought of watching the country's demise while enjoying the misfortune, buying the princess of the country, ordering her to do something shameful, and finally forcing it into a It looks like eighteen." (serious face)

The two businessmen thought to themselves: I believe in you, you are a very bad priest.

Having said this, Golda, Kik, and Xuelu came back.

The three of them smiled, apparently successfully completing the task of rescuing the herbalist who was besieged by the goblins.

Golda's armor can still see some green blood, it should be goblin blood, he is very dissatisfied wiping the blood with his hands, this armor is a gift from Robb, it is very high-end, he is a little reluctant to get it dirty.

But Xue Lu was holding a strange thing in her hand.

As soon as she saw Robb, Xuelu waved her hand and smiled: "Mr. Robert, Kik found a good thing in the mountains, look!"

Before Robb could lean in to see it, the itinerant merchant suddenly jumped up: "Ah! It's a beehive, and I smell honey, which is amazing."

Chapter 73

Honey was the hard currency of hard money in the Middle Ages because, for a long time, the only source of sweetness for Westerners, who lacked sugar-making skills, was honey.

It is very common for several lords to start wars for a little bit of honey. In the Crusades, there is a slogan "Recapture the place where milk and honey are flowing", which shows the nobility of this thing.

Xuelu put the honeycomb in front of Robb: "Giving it to you, although it's not worth anything compared to what you gave us, but you seem to be very concerned about your diet, you can make honey bread with this. "

Robb really likes this thing a little bit. It has been more than a month since he came to this broken world, and Robb has almost never eaten anything "sweet" in his mouth. This world lacks sugar-making technology, and neither cane sugar nor caramel is available. It made Robb's mouth almost salty.

Holding the beehive, Robb smiled and said, "Thank you so much, Lillian, put this thing away and make honey bread tonight."

The itinerant merchant swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and said in a low voice, "Mr. Robert, do you want to sell this beehive? I... I can offer a high price."

"Of course it's not for sale." Robb said, "It's not important to eat money."

The itinerant businessman looked regretful.

Even Probo, who specializes in high-end goods, showed a strong interest in honey, and said with a smile: "This time, I heard that Mr. Robert has made many interesting things, including tap water, fat house happy water, and more. One-night-ripening peppers... yes, and these strange socks. Maybe Mr. Robert has some way of making honey in large quantities?"

The itinerant businessman regained his energy in an instant, and hurriedly sat up straight: "Yes! Mr. Robert, do you have a miracle of conjuring a lot of honey?"

"It's all nonsense!" Robb laughed: "Where did this miracle come from, I don't know how to raise bees."

The itinerant merchant was extremely regretful: "Alas! If only I could have it."

This conversation made Robb seriously consider this issue. He has been in this world for more than a month, and this is the first time he has seen sweet things. The bread he usually eats is the kind of bland and tasteless bread. It's hard and unpalatable, and it can't go on like this forever, can it?

Robb put on a serious face: "No, the problem of eating candy must be solved. I want to eat candy."

"Yeah, yeah!" The two businessmen and the three adventurers all nodded together: "It's really terrible to eat without sugar."

Robb thought seriously about how to get sugar in the western world? Cane sugar is impossible because there is no sugar cane in the West. Neither does caramel, because glutinous rice is needed to make caramel, and glutinous rice is not produced in the West.

Then, the only way to get sugar, there is only one - beets!

Robb knows a cooking skill of making sugar from beets, and he can make white sugar by using the material beet.
