When he woke up the next day, Duchamp was in the Daji Hotel and did not find any symbols or hints associated with Cassius. He brace himself and follow Fried and the others to buy goods.

Walking through the park they had walked through the previous night, Fried led them all the way down, and there was a large clearing on the south side of the park, and Fried said, "It's a flea market, but it's only on Sundays when people trade things they don't need at home, and now there's no one." ”

Walking past the flea market, on the banks of the Polly River, there is a ferry crossing where people who are too lazy to walk three blocks and cross the river from the Senate Gate can opt for the ferry's boats.

Fried called a small boat, and the group got on, and the boatman made his way to the opposite shore. On the other side of the ferry is the Twelfth Block, and along the riverbank, there is a huge market, which is where Fried is going today.

Ravi Market is a huge wholesale food market, where agricultural products from all over the country are conveniently transported to and sold wholesale from here via the Polly River. Duchamp looked at the open warehouses in the market, which were piled high with grain bales. In the open-air part of the market, a large number of eggs, fish and vegetables are being sold. Kasrai is a crowded city with a population of nearly a million people in the capital, so the daily consumption of food is not a small number, and it is all wholesaled from this huge market.

Further south from Ravi Market is the South Railway Station of Kasrai City, from which you can take a train to the southern part of the Republic of Calvard, passing through several important grain-producing areas. Grain merchants from all over the country frequented the area, so many hotels were built in the streets outside the train station.

The bustling crowds fill the Ravi market, there are many wholesale merchants, and there are also housewives who come to shop for a bargain, and the market is filled with a lively atmosphere. Duchamp liked this atmosphere very much, and in his previous life, China's wet markets were also full of this kind of philistine and rich taste of life.

Fried led the crowd to the back of the market, where the bulk of the grain was wholesaled. He picked up a handful of this year's newly harvested wheat, bit it with his teeth, and said, "It seems that it has rained a lot in the south this year, and the wheat is not as firm as in previous years." The vendor smiled and said to him, "Then look at the corn, since it was put in the warehouse last year, it has been dry anymore." ”

Fried asked the price and walked on. After walking through a few houses, he came to a familiar vendor, who, as soon as he saw Fried, jumped up from his chair and exclaimed eagerly, "Mr. Worcester, you have come to buy food again?" ”

Fried looked at the food in the shop and greeted, "Jim, business has been doing well." ”

"Everywhere, big customers like you take care of it."

"The old rule, I want corn and wheat, all the way to the Norman Autonomous Region. This time the amount is very large, you give a price and come out and listen. ”

"How much torrim grain do you need?"

"Add up to 3,000 torim."

Jim was overjoyed and said, "So much, I will definitely calculate it for you at the best price, please wait." After that, he took out a piece of paper and calculated it carefully: "You see, today's wheat is a bumper harvest year, and the price is slightly lower than in previous years, so I will sell it to you at a 10% increase in the purchase price, which can not be less." But the price of transportation to the Norman Autonomous Region is the same, which requires 1800 meters per torim. If you calculate it according to the same half, I will calculate that it will total 15.4 million meters, and I will discount it a little more, and remove the fraction, which is 15 million meters, which is really a big business. Jim looked up and asked, "How do you think that so much grain cannot be transported at one time, 150 torims are delivered each time, and it will be delivered in two months?" ”

Fried nodded, approved his offer, patted the grain seller on the shoulder with his hand and said, "Remember that every grain must be the best of the year, full and dry, if I find out that there is a quality problem in it, well!" ”

When Jim heard this, he got up with a red face and swore, "I've been in this market for more than ten years, and no one has ever returned my goods." ”

Fried nodded and said, "There is a lot of rain in the summer, so you must make sure that the grain is dry before it is loaded on the train." Such a large amount, we still use Mira to trade, I will pay you 500,000 Mira as a deposit, each time after arriving in Norman, I will arrange for someone to inspect the goods and deliver the rest of the payment, and the grain will be settled as it arrives, what do you think? ”

Jim understood and said to Fried: "There is no problem with the amount of grain, even if I don't have so much stock, I can adjust it in the market, but it may take a while to order the capacity of the train, can you stay for a few days first, and then I can book the wagon of the train before leaving." ”

Fried said with satisfaction: "That's exactly what I wanted, and the first batch could be sent a little more." In addition, I also want to order 3 million meters of cooking oil, do you know whose price is real? ”

Jim said happily: "The prices in the market are real, but when it comes to cheap and good, you have to order it from the refinery, my brother runs an oil refinery, and you can negotiate a lower price when you go to the factory, and the quality is guaranteed." ”

Walking south from Ravi Market, past the South Railway Station, there are still some food processing enterprises on the outskirts of the city. Jim's credit was assured, and Fried looked at the quality of the vegetable oils, said he was satisfied, and immediately paid a deposit and asked Jim to arrange for the transportation.

Duchamp watched 18 million mira be spent like this, and it felt unreal. He looked at the freight, which accounted for one-third of the price of the goods, and shouted in his heart: "Oh my God, Captain Fried, you can actually leave the transportation problem to me, I only need to take the train a few times by myself!" ”

After shouting, he suddenly thought of another question, the food here in Calvard is cheap and of good quality, and the grain in Gatapunia is all transported from other places, so it is better to free up the bag and transport him a ticket when he returns. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but have a nosebleed in my heart again.

It was already afternoon when he returned to the hotel from the refinery, and Fried had a matter of doing something, and suggested that everyone go out for a good meal. Duchamp said yes, but his eyes couldn't help but look around. He looked at the hotel, there was no abnormality, went back to the room to check around, still there was no abnormality, and when he was disappointed, he suddenly found that there was an extra printed poster at the entrance of the hotel than when he went out in the morning:

"Exhibition of Antiquities:

Time: July 25 - August 15

Where: Jorge Museum. ”

In addition to this information and the introduction of the exhibition, there is also a hair pen to add a clause to it:

"Opening time: 10 o'clock." The handwriting is sloppy, and the full stop at the end is a lot like a lowercase C.
