Chapter 13: Philip the Merchant
Towards noon, Lorin and Matthew finally arrived in town, and before that, of course, they sent the baby back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The town doesn't look bustling, but it's bustling because people from nearby villages come here to buy and sell, and there are also many out-of-town merchants who come here to buy cheap raw materials.
"Luo Rin come with me, let's go and sell the magic crystal first, so that we can not only buy good clothes that are out of budget today, but also bring a large amount of money back." With that, Matthew took Luo Rin to a shop that bought materials, which was called Hesheng Material Store.
"Shopkeeper, I have something I want to sell." Matthew walked straight to the counter and said to the middle-aged man with glasses.
"Bring it." The shopkeeper pointed to the counter with his finger and motioned for Matthew to put his things on the counter.
"Full red fox skin, nice texture, fifteen silver coins." After looking at the fox fur given by Matthew, the shopkeeper quickly gave the price. The currency on the Divine Grace Continent is divided into copper, silver and gold coins. With the purchasing power of copper coins about the same as one dollar on earth, and one silver is equal to ten copper, and one gold is equal to one hundred silver, so fifteen silver coins are equivalent to one hundred and fifty yuan, which is already a good price in a world where there are many beasts and there are no animal protection laws.
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I still have one more thing." As he spoke, Matthew took out the magic crystal.
"It is." The shopkeeper immediately cheered up and carefully measured the magic crystal. "Level 2 Wind Attribute Magic Crystal, intact...... Count you fifteen gold coins. ”
Fifteen gold coins were equivalent to fifteen thousand yuan, and Matthew had never encountered such a large sum of money in the village. After all, second-level demonic beasts are not something that can be killed if they want to, and hunting demonic beasts for no reason is often counterattacked by beasts and other demonic beasts in the mountains and forests, so in the more than ten years that Matthew has been in the village, he has participated in killing a total of three first-level demonic beasts, and they are all because they hurt people. In Matthew's memory, the magic crystals of the first-level Warcraft can be sold at the price of hardware coins, and one of the second-level Warcraft magic crystals can top three first-level magic crystals, which can be said to be quite valuable.
But Luo Rin looked at the shopkeeper's expression on the side, and faintly felt that something was wrong, and always felt that he was slaughtered. But Luo Rin didn't know if he should stop it now, if the shopkeeper gave a fair price, then it was Luo Rin and Matthew who wanted to raise the price, even if the shopkeeper really wanted to rip off customers, would offending the shopkeeper who bought the materials cause trouble for the village to sell furs in the future.
Luo Rin was struggling, and a lewd-looking thin man beside him who was selling animal skins walked over and said, "Isn't this a wind attribute magic crystal, I just need such a thing urgently." ”
The shopkeeper said gloomily: "I'm afraid it's immoral to rob business, this is the bloody territory of us and the owner of the Sheng Chamber of Commerce." ”
Bloody hands! Luo Rin and Matthew suddenly remembered that the gangster had mentioned this name yesterday, and that person was the one who bought the slaves!
"I'm really in a hurry, so I'm willing to spend twenty-two gold coins to buy it, of course I can't let the shopkeeper suffer, so according to the twenty percent profit of the magic crystal, I will give the shopkeeper the three gold coins that the shopkeeper should earn, how about it?" The lewd man said with a smile on his face.
Hearing the lewd man's words, the shopkeeper's face twitched obviously. A little loss was nothing, but the lewd man was clearly laughing at him.
Luo Rin couldn't help but want to say hello. is worthy of being a businessman, if the obscene man just buys the magic crystal, then he will definitely fall into the notoriety of robbing the business, but he gives compensation according to the profit, and the shopkeeper can't say anything, and the shopkeeper can't hold a grudge against him, otherwise he will admit that he has lowered the purchase price, and he will have a bad reputation.
Matthew was stunned for a moment, but then he understood, so he happily traded with the lewd man.
After getting the money, Matthew took Luo Rin to a clothing store, which was the main purpose of the day, but in view of the extra gain, Matthew and Luo Rin discussed using the money to buy him a dress as well.
Luo Rin chose a sturdy leather blouse for himself, a pair of trousers that resembled jeans, and then took a pair of comfortable hunter boots at random, such a set cost ninety-six silver coins. When Luo Rin was wondering if this would be a little expensive, Matthew also chose the cloth he wanted, and Luo Rin looked at the price: one gold coin and nineteen silver coins, so he suddenly did not have the slightest burden.
After changing his clothes, Luo Rin felt that the set on his body was very comfortable, and compared to the two white clothes given by the backpack, Luo Rin touched it, and the defense ability of this new set of clothes was also better. At the same time, compared to the loose short-sleeved T-shirt and the shabby cowhide tank top, this leather top fully reflects Luo Rin's burly body. And Matthew's cloth clothes are very expensive, but they are expensive in design, simply put, the clothes Matthew chose are very good-looking, it is estimated that he has long wanted to buy them but unfortunately has no money.
Luo Rin and Matthew walked down the street, which immediately caused a lot of people to turn around.
The main thing is that Matthew, who changes into a suit, is indeed handsome enough, and many little girls will secretly take a second look.
After arriving at the restaurant, Luo Rin ordered a few good dishes, and the total price was two silver coins, which was relatively luxurious.
While waiting for the food, Matthew said to Luo Rin: "Now the aunt in the village is helping you make clothes, so you will have a change of clothes in a few days, and you don't need to buy underwear, that one will be done quickly, and it will be completed today." ”
After speaking, Matthew took out a gold coin and gave it to Luo Rin and said, "Originally, the plan to buy clothes for you was one gold coin, but I bought it with the money from the sale of magic crystals, so this gold coin will be at your disposal, and the rest of the money will be handed over to the nun." ”
Luo Rin nodded and put away the gold coin.
At this time, Luo Rin noticed that the obscene-looking man he met just now was eating at a table next to him, and the lewd man also discovered Luo Rin and them, so he said with a smile: "Two little brothers, the market purchase price of the second-level magic crystal is twenty gold coins, so I gave the little brothers three gold coins less in order not to damage my interests, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"How dare you." Luo Rin hurriedly said: "If it weren't for Mr. to speak, we don't know how much loss we would have, and Mr. really doesn't need to apologize." ”
Luo Rin's attitude made Philip very satisfied, so that he had a good impression of Luo Rin, businessman, pay attention to harmony and make money, so he said: "In Lower Philip, occasionally come here to do some business, if you have something you want to sell at an uncertain price, you can sell it to me when I am here, and promise to give you a fair price." ”
"Then thank you, Mr. Philip." The shopkeeper who deliberately lowered the price for the sake of the second-level magic crystal usually did not do the same thing, Luo Rin could not guarantee this, and now there is a Philip who can make the villagers not suffer.
"That's right." Philip said, "Are this turtle and this rabbit your pets?" ”
"Clay is my pet, but we want to sell this rabbit." Luo Rin said. You must know that if Warcraft is not raised since childhood, it is not easy to manage, maybe one night when you are unhappy, you will set the house on fire, or give it to the rich people who are interested, anyway, those who are willing to buy Warcraft have hired professionals.
"Oh, well, I just know that two noble sons are here today to buy pets somewhere in the bazaar, and I'll take you there after dinner."
"Thank you." Luo Rin and Matthew thanked each other, the price of a Warcraft egg was at least twice that of a Demon Crystal, and a tame Warcraft was even more expensive, and it would be more than a dozen gold coins to sell the Warcraft Rabbit in their hands.
