018 Secrets
After coming to the other world, Zhou Kun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was not much deviation in the location this time, and he was still near the Holy Blue City.
I asked a few passers-by along the way, and finally found my way inside the estate in St. Birmingham.
The person who sells the golden dragon fruit is still the housekeeper George last time.
"What is the price of the Golden Fire Dragon today?"
Originally, George wiped the counter with his back to Zhou Kun, and when he heard that there was business, he immediately turned around and said hello, after all, the golden fire dragon here has not opened for a long time.
It's just that the guests in front of him seem to be a little familiar, if there is anything special about George, it is that as long as he has been in contact with it once or twice, he can recognize it as soon as he meets again.
When did the guest in front of you meet him?
"Guest, the price of dragon fruit is now 10 gold coins each. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Kun frowned, but he didn't expect that he hadn't come for two days, and the price of dragon fruit had fallen again, and I don't know if George would be willing to send ordinary dragon fruit to himself artificially.
"Customers are ready to buy as many as they want, and if the quantity is large, there is a discount. Seeing Zhou Kun frowning, George would be mistaken.
He thought that Zhou Kun was disgusted with the price being set high, after all, the price of dragon fruit has been depreciating recently.
"I want 100. Zhou Kun wasn't sure if the other party was willing to give ordinary dragon fruit, thinking that last time 10 dragon crystal George promised to deliver the goods, this time it shouldn't be a big problem to buy 100.
“1… 100?" George wasn't sure if his ears had misheard, the recent depreciation of dragon fruit was too fast, and there had been no customers in his store for a long time, and now this person actually asked for 100 more.
"Yes, I want 100 pieces, is it not enough in stock?"
"Enough, definitely enough, since the guest buys 100 so much, I am here to give you a discount, or to charge you 10 dragon crystals, but give you 105, five are considered gifts. ”
"That's the best, but I have one more request, I want all the ordinary dragon fruits that your manor hasn't had time to clean up today, and if I can, I'll buy 100 dragon fruits." ”
Upon hearing this, George finally remembered where he had seen this guest, wasn't this the fool who packed 10 golden dragon fruits for ordinary dragon fruits two months ago?
He had discussed this with the other stewards of the manor, and they agreed that he was a fool.
"It turned out to be an old customer, this is simple, I will arrange it for you immediately. "Recently, there has been a lot of golden dragon fruit backlog in the warehouse, and the storage of this fruit is really laborious, and when the time comes, there is a loss, and George has to come forward to explain it to the owner.
Now a customer has bought 100 at once, which is really a great help to him.
And he recognized Zhou Kun as the guest who bought 10 dragon fruits last time, which means that he has done a good job in this business, and he may come again next time.
As for the trivial matter of packing ordinary dragon fruit, in George's opinion, it is nothing at all, even the golden dragon fruit is about to go off the altar, what else can this ordinary dragon fruit be worth.
This ordinary dragon fruit even the storm pigs in the manor vomited, and recently they refused to eat it when they saw feeding it.
"The price of dragon fruit has fallen very much recently?" Zhou Kun asked casually.
"Isn't it? The price has fluctuated so much lately, and I'm afraid the dragon fruit business will not be easy to do in the future. George sighed.
Zhou Kun obviously heard that there was something in his words, so he then asked, "What, do you have inside information?"
"It's not any inside information, and I guess everyone will know later, this dragon fruit is no longer a monopoly of the church. ”
"Ah, is there such a thing?" this Zhou Kun really didn't know, after all, according to the time here, he hadn't been here for more than two months.
Zhou Kun's startled appearance obviously greatly satisfied George's vanity, so he continued: "For the sake of your curiosity, I will reveal some other details to you. ”
"Say it quickly!" Zhou Kun looked deaf.
"The neighboring Bytheus Empire somehow got the seeds of dragon fruit and began to breed dragon fruit secretly. This is one of the top three empires on the continent, and even the church can't do anything about it for a while. ”
"But isn't all dragon fruit seeds monopolized by the church?"
"Since the dragon fruit was brought out of the dragon's lair by adventurers in the first place, then the Bytheus Empire can also send other adventurers to steal it in the dragon's lair, what's so strange about it. ”
Zhou Kun nodded again and again when he heard this, with an expression that turned out to be like this. But only he knew best that there could be no dragon fruit in Pilux's cave.
This is more likely than the Theseus Empire to get the dragon fruit that he gave to the Bansairos family at the beginning.
At that time, there were six dragon fruits in public auction, and the one he gave to Banseros was not disclosed, and everyone thought that all the seeds of dragon fruit were in the hands of the church.
"The news of the Bytheus Empire was well concealed, and it was not until a large number of dragon fruits hit the market that the church knew that the seeds of dragon fruit had already been revealed, but at this time there was no way to recover, and the price of dragon fruit was also seriously impacted, falling to one-tenth of the original. ”
"Wouldn't the church suffer a big loss?"
"You are so easy to grow dragon fruit, the growth of these dragon fruits requires a large number of botanical mages, if there is no recovery potion of the church to support it, no country can withstand such consumption, this is not the church is negotiating with the Bytheus Empire!"
Plant mage? Last time at the auction, when Ban Sairos was giving birth to dragon fruit on the spot, the one that appeared should be a plant mage, Zhou Kun listened a little as if he didn't understand.
"Then again, what are you going to buy so many dragon fruits for?" George's words changed sharply and asked the top of the dragon fruit.
"I just..." Zhou Kun didn't expect George to suddenly ask like this, and he couldn't answer.
But George looked at him like this, and said with a smile: "Oh~ It seems that you are here for that effect." ”
"Where?"
"We are all men, why hide it, dragon fruit is really good for that aspect, I will eat one or two at critical moments. ”
Looking at George's expression that I understand, coupled with the meaning of his words, could it be that dragon fruit has any special effect on men?
Forget it, I don't want to do this, I have more important things to ask George.
"The church sells potions? If you go in the direction of Blue City, there will be one on West Street. ”
Hearing Zhou Kun inquire about the church's shop, George smiled even more proudly, with an expression that everyone understands.
