Chapter 7: Sugar is sold in Nanhai Town
There is no danger in the process.
After all, it is a convoy of more than 200 people, and each of them can shoot bows and slash monsters, and it is relatively safe in the hills.
Noon on the third day of departure from Sephorosa was also the seventh day that Orondo had met the mysterious female mage.
The convoy arrived in the town of Nanhai.
Despite being a small town, Southsea is the largest trading bazaar in Hillsbrad.
1/3 of the foreign material needs of the Alterac Kingdom, Dalaran, and the millions of people in the entire hills come from this trading town with a permanent population of only 10,000 and a floating population of almost 100,000.
This has created the prosperity of Nanhai Town.
A deformed exuberance.
In the "original plot", with the disappearance of the kingdom of Alterac, Dalaran was destroyed and relocated, and the once prosperous town of Nanhai became a crowd.
Joby and Dorne, the coachman, drove the carriage of the Sephorosa family into the town of Southsea.
Since he was a teenager, Joby has been in charge of the liaison and trade between the Sephorosa Territory and the town of Nanhai, so he is familiar with this place.
Just like his father Dobby did decades ago.
Nanhai Town, Droz Chamber of Commerce.
Led by Jobi, who was more than a decade older than him, Orondo came to the hall and was greeted by a middle-aged man with a smile: "Welcome, Jobi." It's a pleasure to see you again, and what cargo does Sir Sephorosa need this time? The Delo Chamber of Commerce guarantees that Tong Su is not deceived and that it is worth the money. And who is this ......? ”
"This is my lord, Orondo, the new Sir Sephorosa. Sir, this is Passas, the head of the Droz Chamber of Commerce in the town of Southseas. Joby introduced with a smile.
Hearing that Orondo was Sir Sephorosa, Passas bowed. But even with Passas' smile on his face, Orondo could feel the disapproval hidden under that smile.
"Hello Sir Sephorosa." Passas saluted, then said to Jobby, "Jazz and you shouldn't have eaten yet, I think we should enjoy a delicious lunch first!" ”
Orondo nodded, and followed Joby's steps behind a door. It was a long, large table, but there was no one around, only a few attendants waiting there.
"Come, please be seated, I like to talk in the restaurant." With that, Passas ordered the food to be served. The attendants immediately went into action, and in a few moments, the smell of food wafted in.
The servant brought an aperitif, and Orondo took a glass, and the dish was very simple, roasted lamb chops drizzled with tender gravy on top, fragrant and attractive saliva, and lettuce that he was not very interested in.
"Here, everyone, have a drink." Orondo picked up his fork and was about to start when Passas said this, his smile flashing with a slight hint of mockery, but it disappeared immediately.
Orondo put down his fork and raised his glass in response, but when he opened his mouth, he surprised Passas: "I think the cooperation between Sephorosa and the Droz Chamber of Commerce may have to make some changes. ”
Passas was surprised, and Jobie's expression was a little surprised. But Joby didn't say anything, and Passas was already quick to speak:
"Oh? What kind of changes? Sir, our cooperation has not changed since your father inherited the title. ”
"Change can be good or bad." Orondo's young handsome face was expressionless, and he spoke again, "It's all up to the Droz Chamber of Commerce. ”
This is a bright and sensitive young man, and Passas puts away the contempt in his heart for being too young.
This time the merchant became very polite.
"The Droz Chamber of Commerce and I will definitely make this change a good one! I'm convinced. Passas replied loudly.
"Maybe." Orondo looked like he was indispensable, and then he said to Joby, "Get the stuff out." Let Passas take a look. ”
Joby nodded respectfully, then carefully took a wooden box from his bosom and opened it gently.
"What is this? Crystalline white particles? Better wheat flour? Passas wondered.
Orondo's voice was flat.
"It's a sugar. Its name is Snow Candy, you see, every grain of it is as white as snow, without impurities, and each one has the purest and sweetest sweetness. ”
"Only in this way can snow candy, which has a good appearance and a perfect inside, be worthy of the banquets and desserts of the upper class, and highlight the noble identity and status of the upper class."
Passas hurriedly stepped forward and twisted it, and put it in his mouth, and his eyes suddenly changed. As one of the senior heads of the Chamber of Commerce, he has a keen sense of business, and he immediately saw that this snow sugar had an extraordinary future.
You know, sugar itself is a luxury, and there is even a saying that the same weight of high-quality sugar is worth half the gold.
But even so, it is still some crude brown sugar, and this kind of snow sugar, which is as white as snow and has no miscellaneous feelings, is difficult not to be sought after by the upper class.
However, Passas was sophisticated, and although he found it to be a very valuable and promising commodity, he still smiled indifferently, and then said lightly: "Well, it's pretty good, I can buy it from you for twice the price of ordinary brown sugar." ”
"Hmm...... How much of this snow candy do you have? ”
In the end, he seemed calm, but in fact, he asked Orondo with a wave of heart.
Twice the price of brown sugar, almost 20 Lordaeron new gold coins a pound, is the price of the best quality brown sugar.
That's almost half the weight of the same amount of gold.
Orondo said.
"I brought five pounds of snow candy with me."
"Only 5 pounds? Too little! But I can give you 100 new Lordaeron coins! Passas hurriedly said.
5 pounds is indeed a small amount, but the Droz Chamber of Commerce has operated and can sell for at least 300 new gold coins of Lordaeron.
To be ruthless, it is not impossible for this scarce luxury to sell for 500 new gold coins of Lordaeron.
"These 5 pounds are not for sale. But I can give it to you. Orondo shook his head.
Passas immediately frowned.
A qualified merchant will never believe that there is a free lunch in the world, and he will give it away instead of selling it, and there must be some demand behind it, which must exceed the price of 100 new gold coins of Lordaeron.
"I'm going to sell it to you. It is the secret ingredient for refining this snow sugar. Orondo said leisurely. Don't know how much it's worth? I don't know if you're interested. ”
"Very interested!" Passas said decisively.
"And how much money are you going to pay?"
"Two thousand, no, four thousand new Lordaeron gold coins!" Passas quoted a price.
Orondo shook his head with a smile, and he said to Passas again:
"Before coming here. Joby and I have already been to several other chambers of commerce and shown them this snow candy. Not...... The lowest price of other chambers of commerce is not lower than 5,000 Lordanren new gold coins. ”
Actually, no.
But if you can cheat it, why not cheat it?
