Chapter Ninety-Six: Buying Herbs
Along the way, Vane spent a lot of time making it to the town's market. At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, and all the shops were already open.
Vane saw a dwarf who looked like a local resident not far away, and quickly stepped forward a few steps and said, "Hello. ”
"Hello, strange little High Elf fellow, what's the matter with you?" The dwarf turned to look at Vane and spoke.
"I'd like to know about the herbs that shop buys." Vane immediately asked what he wanted to ask, and talked to the dwarves, not beating around the bush, which would cause the dwarves to resent it, and what could have been done would become unfinishable.
"Herbs? Are you going to sell herbs? The dwarves were stunned for a moment, for the herbs for sale had always been picked by local dwarves when they were out and about. It was just strange to see a High Elf toddler selling herbs now.
"No, I want to buy some." Vane denied it directly.
"Oh." The dwarf thought to himself: This is right. Aren't herbs used by the High Elves? So the dwarf pointed to a shop and said to Vane, "It's that shop, you can just tell the boss what you want when you get inside." ”
Following the direction of the dwarf's finger, Vane decided on the target shop, then turned to the dwarf and thanked him, "Thank you for your advice. ”
"It's nothing. Hahaha. The dwarf looked very happy to receive Vane's thanks, and he held his stomach and laughed.
Arriving at the dwarven shop, the owner of the shop is using tools to clean the shop. It's around 10 a.m., and there are very few customers who come to buy things. Seeing Vane come in, the boss put the tools aside, then returned to the counter and said to Vane, "Welcome, guest." What are you going to buy? ”
"I want to buy some herbs. I've heard that you buy herbs here. Vane waited until the boss finished speaking, and then opened his mouth and said directly what he wanted.
"Herbs? What herbs do you want? There are only three types of calming flowers, silver-leaved grasses and ground roots. However, the quantity is not large, and the herbs purchased have just been shipped to Minahir Port two days ago, and now the store only has a little that has just been purchased in the past two days. The owner of the shop introduced.
"Isn't there a lot? How many exactly? Vane asked again.
"There are thirty-two Tranquility Flowers, thirty-one Silver Leaf Grasses, and even fewer Ground Root Grasses, only eighteen. Tranquility Flower and Silver Leaf Grass each cost twenty coppers, and the Ground Root Grass cost thirty coppers. How much do you want? The boss looked at Vane and spoke again.
After listening to the number of various herbs, Vane felt that these herbs were a little small, and he spoke, "All of them." ”
"No problem, I'll get it for you right away." As soon as he heard Vane's words, the boss immediately became happy.
These herbs were only purchased with the help of the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper bought the herbs, the Tranquility Flower and the Silver Leaf Grass were ten copper coins, and the Ground Root Grass was fifteen copper coins. When transferred to the actual purchaser, each herb will be awarded one copper coin, which is about ten silver coins in a month. However, after Vane purchased the herbs he had acquired in the past two days, he was able to double the profit of each of them, which alone was already eighteen silver coins, and the net profit was nine silver coins. It's no wonder the boss is so happy.
With a smile, he took all the herbs out of the back warehouse and put them on the counter. Vane took out eighteen silver coins from his body and handed them to the shopkeeper. After counting them one by one, the boss nodded and said to Vane: "That's right, eighteen." Is there anything else you want? ”
"Do you have any cloth here?" Vane asked.
"If it's fabric, it's sold at the shop next door." The shopkeeper said.
Nodding, Vane took the herbs and left the shop. In Azeroth, Vane is like this every time he trades, he has to wait until the shopkeeper counts the money one by one, and mathematics is also a science here. There aren't many people who are proficient. Usually, the transactions are counted one by one. If the amount of the transaction is huge, and the bill is paid with copper coins, then the boss will have to count for half a day just to count. It's not surprising to come across the saying "three tens plus one two" here in Azeroth, as there are many people who only know the number of tens or less.
Wayne asked about the fabric because of Walker's torn robes. It was full of holes, and I had to buy some cloth to patch it up. Otherwise, Walker might not care, but Vane looked very uncomfortable. They are not human paupers, and they can't even meet the needs of a family with a set of clothes. How could Walker be allowed to run around the streets in such rags.
Quickly return to your hotel with the herbs and fabrics you bought. As soon as he entered the door, he heard the waiter greet him, "You are back, have you bought the herbs?" ”
"Well, I've already bought it." Vane nodded in response.
"Your companion has returned. He had just gone up. The waiter said to Vane with a strange expression.
"Oh? Has Walker returned? "There's something strange about Vane. Because Walker came back a little too early. Even if there are no strict requirements, the longer the time it takes to induce the Light, the better. The longer it goes, the more skilled you become, isn't it.
Vane immediately went upstairs and returned to their room. Pushing open the door, Walker was now taking off his robe with holes everywhere and putting on his own armor.
Vane came in and said to Walker, who was equipping his armor, "Why did you come back so early?" Did something happen? ”
"Nothing? Didn't you say today that you were going to look for where to buy herbs? So I came back early. Walker fastened his armor to his body and said to Vane, "And this dress is so torn that the other dwarves always look at me strangely when I wear it." Makes me feel very uncomfortable. ”
"Okay, I see." Vane turned and closed the door to the room and said to Walker, "I've already bought the herbs, so I don't need to look for them." As for your clothes, I'll do it for you. ”
"Didn't you say you didn't know how to tailor?" Walker said strangely.
"It's just a matter of patching it up, filling the holes with some fabric, it's very simple, you don't need a tailor. It's just that it may not look good. Vane explained.
"That's great, the dwarves look at me weirdly, and it makes me feel bad, but I don't know what went wrong. After asking, I found out that it was because of the trouble caused by the tattered body on my body. Walker was overjoyed to hear that Wayne would help him fill the holes in his robes. Told Vane how he felt along the way.
