One day, Liu Han and I returned from an expedition in the Ghost Eater Forest again, and as usual, we had to work with our cooperative expedition team to calculate the value of the harvest one by one, so as to settle our respective shares. I have now gradually handed over this matter to the bookworm ghost, and it is just right for him to do this kind of bookkeeping and accounting work.

At this moment, the mocker came over, pretended to be very casual and glanced twice at the bookworm ghost's ledger, and then came to talk to me.

It said: "Boss, it seems that you have poured a lot of good things into the Ghost Forest this time!" ”

I didn't know what it meant, so I nodded and casually responded: "Well, this harvest is really good!" ”

"Then why don't you take all these good things down?" The sarcastic ghost asked again.

I smiled and said, "What am I doing with these things?" I don't need it myself. ”

"You can resell it!" The sarcastic ghost said very seriously, "You are doing a hard job with the proprietress now, but you can only earn the most basic income, so it's a big loss!" ”

I wondered, "That's true, but this is just a small fishing village, and there are no trading houses, workshops and restaurants, so who can these things be resold to?" ”

The sarcastic ghost continued to insist: "But you have the capital! And there is also a ship! ”

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and asked it hesitantly: "What do you mean......"

"What I mean is that you and the proprietress don't need to take this risk to make this kind of hard-earned money, and you can rely on the connections and credibility you have now accumulated to do reselling and shipping business."

"How?"

"It's easy! Directly buy the good goods from the Ghost Eating Forest and the Styx Sea here, and then transport them to Hekou Town or Giant Waterfall City to sell. Buy low, sell high, and earn the difference! ”

I naturally understand the simple principle of buying low and selling high, but I have never thought about it before, and I have never planned to do this kind of business before. After being reminded by the sarcasm this time, I realized that this is indeed a good business opportunity!

The small fishing village where we live has exactly that potential. Not only do you have a variety of fresh fish caught in the Stygian Sea, but you can also produce a variety of dried seafood. Especially since the last time I got rid of the giant octopus monster in the nearby seas, the fishing boats in the village have been able to venture deeper into the Stygian Sea to catch more and rarer seafood.

In addition, due to the proximity of the location to the Ghost Eating Forest, past expedition teams will also habitually rest in the fishing village, and there are countless rare specialties that come out of the Ghost Eating Forest. Moreover, I have worked in both caravans and expeditions, and I am an expert at identifying and estimating the value of various goods, and the purchase price in the origin will definitely be much lower than the retail price in the Great Yin City.

The most important necessary condition, when I started as a gladiator in Zuoqiu City, I have accumulated savings for several years by this time, and with Liu Han's private money, the total amount can reach 30,000 Yin Yuan. With this money, it is completely enough to do this kind of business of buying and reselling.

I analyzed this carefully in my heart, and suddenly I also felt that this suggestion of the sarcastic ghost was indeed reliable, and it was very suitable for me to try it. The devil's problem, though, is that it can make a good suggestion, and then pour cold water on you:

"Boss, you must have thought of the benefits, but there is one key condition that you can't meet the requirements!"

"On what terms?" I asked quizzically.

"Your ship sucks!"

The sarcastic ghost said with disdain on his face: "This noodle shop ship has been dilapidated since it was in the hands of Boss Cha. I've been suggesting that you go to Waterfall City for overhaul once since you took over, but you insisted on coming here halfway through. Now this broken ship may fall apart at any time, let alone going to Giant Waterfall City, I'm afraid it will be difficult to run to Hekou Town again! ”

I was also annoyed by its merciless counting, and ridiculed it in turn: "As you said just now, I have a ship, and I can do the business of reselling and transporting." It's only been a while since you changed your mind, and you think my boat is rotten! Can your mouth be reliable? ”

The sarcastic ghost didn't know what was wrong, and argued with reason: "It makes sense for me to suggest that you do this business, and I have already reminded you many times that your ship is rotten, but you don't pay attention to it, why do you still blame me?" ”

"Then you know that the ship is no longer moving, and you still suggest that I go to this kind of business that requires a long voyage?"

"If the boat doesn't work, you can repair it! I've already said it, your ship skeleton can still be used! ”

"Where to repair? Didn't you say that it was difficult to even drive to the town of Kawague? ”

"Fix it right here!"

"Fix it here?" I was stunned again. The last time I passed through the town of Hekou, a master who repaired a ship told me that almost all the money spent to repair this broken ship could buy a new ship, and it was definitely not cost-effective. And, in this small fishing village, where do I go to find a master who can repair ships?

The sarcastic ghost won the battle of words, and was quite proud, crossed his waist and raised his chin and said, "That's right, it's right here." There's a master of ship repairing here! ”

"Who?"

"Village Chief Wang Shou!"

As soon as the sarcasm reminded me, it dawned on me. It turned out that it had already hit Wang Shou with the idea, and wanted me to go to Wang Shou to help repair the ship.

The village chief Wang Shou does know how to repair ships, and the last time I went to sea with him, I learned that he was the director of a shipyard during his lifetime, and he started as a shipwright when he was young, and with his superb skills, he worked until he reached the position of factory director. The ghost boat we took last time was built by him and the villagers out of soul-perching wood, and it was the only boat that dared to go deep into the Stygian Sea to fish. Since he can build a new ship, it will certainly not be a problem to repair an old one.

"Boss, you helped them get rid of the octopus monster last time, and they still owe you a big favor. At this time, if you go to the village chief and ask for help repairing the ship, he will definitely not shirk it. And, hehe, with this favor, I can also help you cut the cost of repairing the ship! "The sarcasm is really thoughtful, and even the reason for the bargaining of the ship repair fee has been thought of in advance.

Although my skin is not as thick as it is, it is indeed the most feasible and convenient way. Wang Shou can build a sturdy and peculiar ship like a ghost ship, and there should be no problem in helping me repair an old ship. Moreover, after the cooperation of the last time I went to sea to kill monsters, I can completely trust him.

After the discussion was settled, I went to the house of the village chief, Wang Shou, again with the sarcastic ghost, explained the reason, and asked him very sincerely to help repair the ship.

Wang Shou listened to my words, first smiled slightly, but said, "Boss Feng, you haven't left the fishing village for a long time, I'm afraid you don't know some of the things that happened on the river recently, right?" ”

"What's the matter?" The sarcastic ghost and I were both stunned and a little surprised.

"A few days ago, when I went to Hekou Town to purchase, I learned that the river has been flooded with thieves recently, looting everywhere, robbing those boats in the middle of the road, and even daring to sneak attack those small Yin cities with insufficient city defense. It is said that they have become more and more rampant recently, and have moved into the upper reaches of Kawaguchi Town. The people of the town of the estuary are now all cautious and trembling! ”

"Water thieves!"

I looked at the sarcasm and I were secretly terrified. It was because of the attack of water thieves that Boss Cha died in the eighteen holes. And the town of Kawaguchi is not much bigger than the eighteenth hole, and it really should attract enough attention.

"So according to me, it's not a good time for you to want to run the transportation business at this time." Wang Shou reminded again.

"If the water thieves come, will our village also suffer?" The sarcastic ghost then asked worriedly. This is just a small fishing village, and it can't be compared with the town of Hekou, once the water thieves attack, there is almost nothing left to be killed.

Wang Shou's expression was very relaxed, and he replied, "If the water thieves want to reach us, they must pass through Hekou Town. As long as the town of Estuary is well prepared, this small fishing village will be fine, so we won't be a threat here for the time being. ”

"That's good! That's it! "The sarcastic ghost knows everything, knows everything, but he is a little timid.

"Do you still want to be in the running boat business?" Wang Shou asked again.

I thought about it for a while, and said: "Village chief, let's not talk about whether I can do this business for the time being, but my ship is indeed too old, and it will definitely not be able to be opened without repairs." I'm still going to bother you to help with this! ”

"Hehe, since Boss Feng has spoken, I naturally want to help with this favor." Wang Shou readily agreed, and said, "Moreover, I will also equip your boat with some weapons according to the style of my ghost ship, not for fishing, but to guard against the attack of water thieves." That way, you can still go about your forwarding business! ”

"That's for the best! Thank you village chief! I was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

"Hey, Boss Feng doesn't need to be too polite. We all live in the same village now, and we are our own people, helping each other! ”

"In that case, hehe, then the village chief, look at the wages of this ship...... Can you charge a little less? Just as Wang Shou and I were exchanging polite words, the sarcastic ghost interjected in a very "timely" manner and asked about the cost of repairing the ship, which he was most concerned about.

Wang Shou smiled again and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I can help my friends and don't take your money." But repairing the ship requires a lot of wood, so I can mobilize the villagers to help cut down the trees and repair the ship, and Boss Feng can settle the wages for them according to the head. ”

"No, the village chief, if you are willing to help me repair the ship, it can be regarded as a great favor for me, and you will still collect as much as you want!" I glared at the sarcastic ghost in disgust, blaming him for being too stingy.

But it still looked disapproving, and went straight to Wang Shou to discuss the specific plan to transform the noodle restaurant ship. It is also a person who understands boats, and what he says is the Tao, and even Wang Shou, an old connoisseur, nods frequently, so I can't interject about this.

So, after that, I simply became the shopkeeper and left the specific operation details to Wang Shou and the sarcastic ghost to deal with. The refurbishment plan of the noodle restaurant ship starts immediately!
