Chapter XXIV
The next day, as soon as it was getting light, Jonny manipulated the stone man's body, and in the courtyard that was temporarily left to him, he became familiar with the fruit abilities that were becoming more and more handy.
Maybe the movement was a little loud, and a few people who were guarding outside the courtyard gate, wearing the clothes of the servants of the City Lord's Mansion, couldn't help but look sideways to this side. One of the people ran out, presumably to inform the others of the movement here.
……
"Alright, Scythe, let's get started!"
Coming to the large square in the center of the town, Jonny was in the stone castle, facing the black sickles standing aside, and said with a bit of excitement in his tone.
"Yes!"
Wu Sickle led a few people to form a large circle around the tables that had been prepared a long time ago. Bags of rice flour, these staples take up half of it. The rest are grains such as peanuts, mung beans, cornmeal, barley and rice, and next to them are carrots, onions, Chinese cabbage, and vegetarian dishes such as green onions, ginger and garlic. As for meat, there is only one kind, and that is pork.
Of the fifty tables, twenty-five or six are staple foods of rice and flour, and fifteen of the remaining half are multigrain vegetables. There are nine tables left, four of which are for pork, and the other five are for various fruits such as watermelons, apples, bananas, cantaloupe, and grapes.
"Don't rob, don't squeeze! Line up in order, there are still many things, take the prepared gold coins, and pay the money one by one to get the things! ”
I have to say that Viscount Dolan and Sir Ark are still very prestigious in this Roccomann town. Things went on in an orderly manner after they showed up with Wicker and Sickle, commanded the otherwise noisy crowd, and began to organize in an orderly manner.
"It's great, except for the fruits, only the rich and noble people used to buy them, and the rest have sold a lot! In particular, pork and rice noodles are the most sold today! ”
Sickle and Ush also went to work with people, and Wicker and Ugo took a few people to stay by the side of the Stone Man and Sir Ark, looking at the red face of Viscount Dolan in the distance, and they were also full of excitement.
On the stone man's side, there are also quite a few people lined up in two teams. One group was holding in their hands things that had already been roughly estimated in value, such as ores, herbs, gold and silver artifacts, pearls and agate, and these people could directly exchange some gold coins and give them to the people who were queuing up to buy them.
The other team was more crowded, longer than those in the long queue for pork and rice noodles. There were more and more things in their hands, and some of them were pushing the cart board and pulling a cart full of things they didn't know what they were, and they lined up in this queue.
The group with a large number of people had more hunters and ordinary residents than those who were obviously rich and noble. Therefore, there are all kinds of things in hand, and the difference in value is too large, so they will line up in another line, waiting for someone to send it to the pawn counter in the castle, and then someone will come out after the appraisal to ask if they are willing to exchange the pawn. Because of this, the queue here moves very slowly, and many people line up from morning to afternoon before it is their turn.
"Alas, the efficiency is a bit low! Less than half of the people in town today are busy, and tomorrow it may be even busier! ”
Sir Ark was not very old, but he had an excellent eye. He could see at a glance that the biggest reason affecting the sales speed of those buying teams was that there were too few holders of gold coins, and there were still many people still waiting and watching. But he also believes that tomorrow will be better than today.
Of course, there are also people complaining. After all, people usually still use silver coins, and those who use gold coins are only those who are wealthy, as well as nobles and merchants. And even for the nobles and wealthy merchants, the gold coins in their hands are slightly lower in gold content, and two coins can be equivalent to one gold coin, and the purchasing power here in Jonny's place.
"Oh my God, it's too much! People used to call me a vampire, and I'm just a good-hearted businessman compared to them! Three gold coins for a small bag of rice, with our gold coins, you need six! You know, in the past, I could buy more than a dozen bags of rice with one gold coin, and it was still the best pearl rice! ”
A businessman with a clean face, a slightly chubby body, and a short beard on his chin that looks a little steady. But at this time, his eyes were also wide, looking at the pile of things that had been bought back from everything, picking up a washed apple, putting it in his mouth and eating it, while complaining.
"Okay, I don't know who it is, but last month it was still shouting that I would like to buy a delicious apple for a hundred gold coins! It's a bit expensive now, but are you short of this gold coin? However, I have to find a time to discuss with Dolan of the Roc Mann family, it is good to be able to restore the normal market price, this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the fire to rob is too ungraceful! ”
A gray-bearded aristocratic old man, with an elegant demeanor, used a fork to taste the beautifully arranged fruits on the plate, and said in a deep voice with a little displeasure in his tone.
"I'm more concerned, though, where they got it from! The stone man? No kidding, even if it's just a little stuffed into his stone belly, it can blow him up! How long has it been and how long has it been since we have enjoyed such a delicious taste! ”
A young nobleman in his twenties, among the people sitting here, he was the only one with a smile on his face, eating the sweet fruit in front of him for a long time, and whispering as if he was talking to himself.
Some people complain that these things are too expensive, but some people are happy that the valuable things in their hands have been exchanged for heavy gold coins.
"Hi old man, I'm so happy! Did you know that my cart of fur used to be in the hands of those vampire merchants, and it could be exchanged for a dozen silver coins at most! Today, I actually exchanged seven gold coins, which are gold coins, and they are so beautiful, but they are much more beautiful than those collected by those noble lords! ”
"Hey, my brother, guess how much gold I sold for my bag of stones! I'm not kidding you, thirteen gold coins, it's real gold coins! Look at it, this glittering appearance, you listen, this swaying pleasant sound, I really can't believe that I can have so many gold coins in my money bag in my life! ”
"Have you heard, the owner of that grocery store actually pawned the contents of the shop for more than eighty gold coins! Did you know that the old guy lost one of his front teeth when he laughed? ”
"What you said is outdated, I just saw that the people in the hospital hall pulled several cars and pulled a lot of things back to the hospital! I heard that some of the herbs in their hands are very valuable, and they pawned more than 100 gold coins, and now, they will make a fortune! ”
