Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Cobbler
"Strong man, the villain's shop is small and thin, and it is operated by a small capital, this beast is indeed not within the scope of the small shop." When encountering such a strongman, Zhen Guanxi wants to cry without tears.
Xiahou also felt that this town in Guanxi was too greedy, and he was crazy about money: "Even if these are not in your business scope, how can you offer a price of 10 Wen or 20 Wen, and you still want to pack all the prey for 100 Wen, are you careful, are you too greedy?" ”
In the face of Xiahou's pressing step by step, Zhen Guanxi had no choice but to take a step back: "No, strong man, I will give 150...... No, 200 Wen, let me go, the family really has no money, or this hare, pheasant, pork and mutton, the strong man can take it. ”
He treated himself as a splash again, and it seemed that he had to teach him a good lesson: "I told you that the Sprinkle family is not a splash, and no protection money is charged." Say, why can you give 20 wen for a hare, but you only give 10 wen for a cheetah that weighs fifty or sixty times as much as a hare. Even if you sell it as a hare, you have to give more than 1,000 by weight, are you kidding me? ”
Listening to Xiahou's words, Zhen Guanxi was shocked: "Eh, don't the strong men know?" ”
Xia Hou asked suspiciously, "What do you know?" ”
Only then did Zhen Guanxi know that he had misunderstood: "This beast meat is too old, no one eats it, it can't compare to a hare, and it's not worth as much as a hare." ”
"Huh?" This time it was Xiahou's turn to be surprised.
It seems that the strong man doesn't know, he must be from which family he came from, he doesn't know the situation in the world, he thinks that the more powerful the beast, the better it tastes, so he specializes in finding powerful beasts to hunt.
But how did he know that the more powerful it is, the harder the meat, and the most powerful ones are harder than steel, is steel delicious?
Thinking of this, Zhen Guanxi patiently explained: "Really, these meats are not cooked, steamed, stewed, old, hard, stinky, gnashing and stuffing teeth, swallowing and indigestion and stomach trouble, no one wants it, no one eats it, it is really something that cannot be sold." ”
"Huh?" Xia Hou recalled that when he was barbeconking in Loushan, this meat was really not delicious, but it wasn't so unbearable, right?
Well, at that time, I ate wild dog meat with a relatively small physique, and the physique of these beasts is indeed a little higher, maybe it is really not delicious, right?
No wonder the butcher had picked the leopard with the lowest physique before, and reluctantly accepted it under his own coercion.
It seems that I took it for granted before, not that the stronger the better, but Xia Hou still asked without giving up: "Then these beasts are useless?" Can other parts be sold for money? ”
Zhen Guanxi replied categorically: "It's useless, at least for the villain, the meat of these beasts is useless." As for the rest of the area...... The villain is a rural village man, killing pigs and sheep all day long, deboning and selling meat, and he doesn't know much, maybe there is any use in other places, and the villain is not cleared. ”
Killing monsters doesn't cost money, not to mention, their corpses are not worth much, what kind of broken game is this?
Xia Hou asked again without giving up: "Then do you know that in addition to meat, animal tendons, animal skins, and animal bones, these are useful?" ”
Zhen Guanxi said helplessly: "Zhuangman, the villain is a pig killer and meat seller, how can he know this, anyway, the bones and bones taken from the livestock I killed are either stewed and eaten, or thrown away." As for the skin, those that are easy to pull out are stewed and eaten, and those that are not easy to pull are thrown away. ”
Xia Hou still has some questions: "Animal skins don't make clothes or leather armor?" ”
As if hearing a big joke, Zhen Guanxi couldn't help but laugh and replied: "Strong man, approve clothes made of animal skins, isn't that a savage?" It's shameful to go out, and now that the fabric is cheap, who would approve a piece of animal skin? ”
"That's right." Xiahou's face was full of disappointment, he only had a pitiful 1 point of general experience for farming monsters, and he was lucky enough to draw a skill fragment, but why didn't he come to the money? No wonder the Lin family is abducted and deceived everywhere.
Zhen Guanxi suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, there is a strange man in Zhendong, I heard that he used to be a leather worker, but now he is not doing well, and he is poor, you can go to him and ask, he may know the use of animal skins." The villain is a butcher, he doesn't know much, he really doesn't know anything. ”
"Okay, you push the wheelbarrow over there." Listening to his words, Xiahou had no choice but to try his luck in the east of the town.
Coming to the corner, Xiahou sent Zhenguanxi back, put the wheelbarrow and prey in his backpack, and walked towards the east of the town.
After inquiring for a long time in the east of the town, he finally found the cobbler, who was indeed poor and destitute now, and looked like he had nothing to do.
Xia Hou took off the wolf skin on his back and put it in front of him: "I heard that you are a cobbler, do you collect fur?" ”
The cobbler rejected the wolf skin that had been released, looked at himself, bowed his head, and said, "Well, sort of, do you look at me like this, like a man who can afford to take away his fur?" ”
Xia Hou nodded: "Then do you know where to collect fur and what is the price?" ”
The cobbler glanced at Xia Hou and said, "If you meet a rich cobbler, or a big family who wants to make leather armor, they will accept it." As for the price, 1 to 10 wen depends on the mood and financial resources of the buyer. ”
Hearing his words, Xia Hou looked at him in surprise: "Why is the price so low?" And how can the price not depend on the quality of the fur, but on the mood and financial resources of the buyer? ”
The cobbler said helplessly: "There is no way, it is difficult to make special leather products with mysterious powers, and their success rate is too low." And ordinary leather clothes are useless, they are not breathable and stuffy to wear in our south, they are not as comfortable as cotton cloth, and the price is higher than cotton clothes. Since the ordinary finished product can't be sold, the price of the skin can't go up, and the success rate of almost all different quality furs is almost low, so the quality of the fur is generally not looked at. ”
Xia Hou thought about it, the climate in this game is warm and humid, and it is really uncomfortable to wear leather clothes, and it is normal to have no needs.
"Look at you, you haven't made anything in years, have you? Can you still make something out of this wolf skin? Xiahou handed the wolf skin to the cobbler.
The cobbler took the wolf skin very excitedly: "Yes! ”
"Then do what you do your job." Xiahou said.
The cobbler was very happy, but he said uneasily: "You can leave it to me?" ”
These few pennies were not in Xia Hou's eyes, and he said, "What do you say? What's not to worry about, can you still run away for this broken wolf skin? You've said that this wolf skin is not worth much. ”
The cobbler also thinks that he is not yet funny, at least he will not ruin his reputation for stealing wolf skins, although he does not have a reputation: "Not really, my character is absolutely fine, but ...... Just ......"
Xia Hou said impatiently: "It's just what, hurry up." ”
The cobbler didn't want to admit it, but he still said helplessly: "Hey, it's just that my luck is a little bad." ”
Xia Hou inadvertently slapped the cobbler: "I don't think so, there are always good times when you are unlucky, you are so miserable, I think the craftsmanship is relatively poor, right?" ”
The cobbler looked down at himself and wanted to refute, but finally gave up helplessly: "Well, even if my craftsmanship is relatively poor." ”
