"A dozen pieces? How many ten-how many? Clough's voice was so long. This bag of fluttering apple chips costs more than a dozen yuan, which is converted to those taverns next to the general meeting of his chamber of commerce, and he can eat and drink until his belly is round for at least two days......

If you change it to an apple, the apple bought for more than a dozen yuan is enough to fit this body flush with the baffle. Clough originally set a psychological price for himself at the highest "black ticket", that is, ten yuan; So now Miss Wolfe blurted out the "more than a dozen", which has long exceeded his psychological bearing price.

"Well, since you know everything, let me finish." Wolfe's eyes rolled twice, wanting to turn the page directly on the basket that had been poked out of his mouth. "It's more than a dozen yuan, yes, but if we talk about wholesale, this thing is definitely not that expensive. Isn't it okay for us to just sell it at the above price? ”

Clough was still grim-faced. The merchant puts his interests first, and it is of course uncomfortable to see his own interests being treated as water in a water gun by a girl without asking, even though he has been uncomfortable several times.

"Well~well~ Anyway, I also made you a business counselor, didn't I? Don't be offended...... You see, if you really follow my instructions, won't you be able to earn more apple chips in the future? ”

After all, Clough is still too young and naïve to know the truth of life. At this time, I only know that Angrui is not good......

But sooner or later, the outpouring of feelings will have an effect. Under the rays of Wolfe's starry eyes, Clough's iron-blue face finally melted in time.

"Alas. I can't help it. Forget it, the fifty yuan I gave to you at your disposal, and you can let me see what I bought. ”

"You're not going to be angry, are you?" Wolf playfully wrapped her arms around the coachman's neck and exhaled into his ear. "If you're angry, you have to say it, don't sulk, you'll have a short life."

"Won't be angry—" Clough replied in a stiff tone, pulling the reins to keep the horse a little frightened by the cart. Well, regardless of the price, not once did Wolf buy anything that displeased Clough. Whether it's a peach or an apple slice, to be honest: it's really delicious.

If there were no "extravagant" "spending" like Wolfe, there would really only be spices in his life that interests can be used as a spice......

"Nine out of ten merchants are usually stingy, and the remaining one must be poor." It's a joke that merchants use to tease each other. But what emerged after Yu's wry smile was not a simple joke, but a cruel truth.

When the merchants of the merchant began to start their business, most of them were young men of the Chamber of Commerce, and the descendants of few merchant families began to "practice in society". By the time they began to sell goods from one corner of Elta to another, the merchants' risks began to skyrocket exponentially as their profits grew.

It is insignificant to earn several times, or even dozens of times the income of ordinary farmers, throughout the year. The merchant was much more likely to contract the plague, rheumatism, and all sorts of incurable diseases than the peasant who stayed at home and kept to himself year after year. As long as you casually contract any disease and hum and chirp in a certain city to let a doctor who doesn't know the level of medicine for a few months, this year is a wasted day.

People eat horses and chew for money. When it rains and winds and you can't stay in a carriage, the guest house asks for money. It costs money to repair a carriage, heal a sick horse, or even replace a complete set. Even the carriage got stuck in a mud puddle, and it took money to get someone else to push it out.

Of course, some people will choose to go to one place and be dashing, but the Chinese on the other side of the portal have an old saying, called wealth is not white - put in the clear water fish pond, not to say bread, even bread crumbs can attract a pool of big fish. Miserliness is another form of life-saving here, because no one knows how much money they can knock out.

Even Elta's seemingly peaceful pre-war days were so dangerous: the sporadic bandits on the road demanded money, or they could die if they didn't get it. The little thief who sleeps in the wild asks for money, and when he is discovered, he will sometimes trade his life for your life. This single-plank bridge leading to the huge benefits caused by the information blockade seems to be far away only the distance, but in fact it is far away and has its own safety.

Therefore, businessmen will have such high profits, dare to raise several times the price, and can smoothly sell the goods. After all, behind the ultra-high profits, there are countless people who are eager for profits to stretch out the white bones of money.

In the battle between Cierta and the Church of the Two Moons, although both sides were extremely tolerant of the merchants who traveled back and forth, there were still many risky merchants who fell into the hands of no man's land or wild bandits. On the wasteland roads in the immediate area, or beside the road signs in the tundra of the north, there are always a few half-decayed wooden wheels or grave bags set up by companions......

It wasn't until they earned enough to set up a farm, a branch of the chamber of commerce, a home to a business that ran their own business, and that the businessman, who was on the line of death, decided to change careers. Of course, some of them will build boats or caravans, hire bodyguards to start trading between fixed routes, and even end up in their homes and remotely control a new trading house. As for these gamblers who won their bets, that's another story.

From this point of view, Clough, who has survived so far, has escaped many catastrophes, and actually made a small fortune because of the catastrophe, it is really impossible to describe it as a simple "luck".

The days of a merchant are bitter. Before meeting Wolfe, no matter in the wind or rain, most of the time only himself holding a silver coin in his palm hummed a little song on the road to dispel loneliness.

So Clough's heart, which was still smelling the scent of apple chips in his mouth, suddenly softened.

What is the purpose of merchant? Open your own shop? No, that's probably a long-term goal.

Is there anything better in the world than having a fair-skinned girl in the back of a car who is willing to follow her around for a bump? Clough couldn't think of it, and he couldn't imagine it.

"Na, na, Clough, are you distracted? Look, that's what I bought back with the money you gave me. ”

Clough came back to his senses from his long memories and thoughts, and saw Wolfe, full of vitality and baring his teeth, sitting beside him with a beautiful cloth bag.

"This is a black candy that will make people so obsessed that they can't sleep."

Black cocoa butter substitute chocolate, which has been almost eliminated from the market by health-conscious consumers in China, is no surprise that outdated junk food (in contrast, instant noodles with non-frying and air-drying techniques are called new junk food) have appeared in Elta.

That's right, cocoa butter substitute chocolate is truly hated. It contains a huge amount of plant protein, which can easily lead to a variety of physical problems such as excessive uric acid, and is also easy to deposit cholesterol and triglycerides on the artery wall, promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis. So under the bombardment and propaganda of the domestic media and even the world media, this cheap substitute for cocoa butter has gradually turned into the tears of the times when it is only sold in poor areas and exported to the third world.

Protein intake? The Elta people are not enough! The accumulation of sugar caused by white sugar causes the body to produce too much fat? The Elta people had rarely seen sugar once in their previous lives! Cholesterol and triglycerides? …… Not to mention, how many times a week can a farming family with laying hens at home eat eggs?

What's more, the Elta workers who can now afford to buy them don't have any digestive problems with this level of junk food. The large amount of calories contained in cocoa butter substitute is far more than the recommended intake standard for MRV, but MRV is only for normal adults, and it does not take into account whether the subject is sweating in a hot food processing workshop or wring a vest on a construction site......

"Well, it's not suitable for children." Clough's eyes sharpened, and he saw the Elta annotation on a single cocoa butter substitute. "Don't eat more than three a day, Wolff. How many did you buy? How many have you eaten? ”

"I bought three packs, and one pack was exactly three. A pack is only 1 yuan! Instead of tearing the bags, Wolf threw them back into the bag. It's delicious, it's just that this thing is so sweet that my throat is greasy, and it's very uncomfortable not to drink water after eating. ”

"Anything else?" Clough doesn't have to think about it, he can figure out how much share of fifty yuan remains.

"There's a lot more~" Wolf playfully stuck out his tongue and licked his upper lip, then stretched his hand into the bag. It's like FujiO's candy sign girl.

"Well, this one is a great cookie. What is it called? Black and white round cakes? "What Wolfe took out this time was a whole package of Oreos.

Not only O Master, domestic brands such as O Lee Gardens, but also other joint ventures that produce snacks in China have finally been allowed to change their packaging and enter another world. The unlabeled packaging bag produced by the manufacturer has an extra large biscuit (only the production batch number, manufacturer code and production date are marked on the aluminum primary color bag) and sent to the portal base for random inspection, and then sent to the other end of the portal by train.

In Mendong City, the biscuits will be reopened, measured, bagged and placed on the shelves of stores in Mendong City.

So, of course, "Oreo" cookies don't bring their original names to another world. What does "OREO" stand for? Presumably, most people definitely can't figure it out. So in this world, it will continue the legend of the "King of North American Federal Biscuits" a hundred years ago with the unbearable-sounding name of "black and white round cakes".

In fact, its combat effectiveness was already evident in the festival tasting event in Mendong City: although it was necessary to receive a one-time ticket to get one at the tasting point in the Mendong Friendship Mall, after word of mouth, the queue to receive Oreo cookies was longer than the other teams. Although the final sales volume is not very optimistic due to the price (in line with domestic standards), the gradual increase in household income will sooner or later solve the problem......
