John Sr. eventually took Hughes to where the grocery store was.

At this time, the grocery store has changed dramatically, from a single grocery store selling sweet powder, to a grocery store with a wide range of goods, from a narrow thatched house to the current wood-brick building.

The wooden multi-level shelves are arranged in an orderly manner in the grocery store, dividing the grocery store into several areas, and this layout of William's supermarket in his previous life still surprises Hughes.

The shelves are sorted into sweet powders, lizard meat, wild fruits, rye flour, clay pots, clay bowls, brooms, honeycomb coals, red clay stoves, chalk, small chalkboards, and the most precious thing - salt like snow!

The dazzling array of goods overwhelmed Xius, and his whole brain spun like a spinning top.

He pointed to the sweet powder on the food shelves and asked Old John, "What is this, Lord John?" ”

"Oh." Old John glanced at it casually with a reserved look, and said disappreciatively, "We call this thing sweet powder!" Our Baron's products! ”

As for William, where did this sweet powder come from? Old John didn't say it, he didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

He could persuade William from the perspective of thinking about William, but he would never try to probe into the secrets that William didn't want to tell.

This is one of the reasons why William trusted Old John so much.

Even under the prying eyes of the magic mirror, Old John has always shown loyalty to William.

"Sweet powder? Master John, do you mean this thing smells sweet? Is it as sweet as honey? "There was a greedy light in the eyes of Theseus.

"Honey?" Hearing this word, Old John reflexively secreted saliva in his mouth, and his heart also recalled the taste of honey he had tasted at the beginning, and then after comparing the two, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's not as good!" Not comparable! It's just a little sweet. ”

"Even a little bit is precious food!" Hughes stared intently at Sweet Powder as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

"Can I taste it?"

Old John nodded, and the reason why he specially called Hughes over was to conduct commercial trade with him.

After all, if there is no "living water" from outside, the economy of Nisse Town will go bankrupt.

Hundreds of knights, plus infrastructure development projects, and a large number of wild slaves, every day when they open their eyes, there are mountains and seas of expenditures, even if there are all kinds of precious things produced by the gourmet table to shear the villagers and shear the sheep, William's more than 1,000 gold coins are rolling around, and they are about to be unable to support it.

Especially when winter has passed and the economy of the closed town of Nisse will have to open up.

Therefore, in order to avoid the first economic crisis in Nisse Town, William ordered that Old John find a way to find the merchant Hughes, who had worked happily with him before, hoping to harvest other areas through him.

Theseus is important to the current town of Nisse!

Therefore, for this small request of the partner, Old John naturally has no objections.

Kerry Mark's father was there, and when he saw old John nodding, he took out a clay bowl and scooped a few large spoonfuls of sweet powder from the jar of sweet powder with a clay spoon into the bowl.

Then he bent down and picked up a clay pot with a handle from the red clay stove at his feet.

The spout was poured down, and the steaming boiling water rushed into the bowl.

The sweet powder suddenly turned into sweet porridge, and a secretive fragrance spread.

Before he could savor the bowl of sweet porridge, Hughes was attracted by the red clay stove at the feet of Kerry Mark, the manager of the grocery store.

Like a swan, he craned his neck, looked inside the counter, and couldn't help but say, "This is ......"

Old John looked at it, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Hillbilly." ”

Although the voice was small, it was still heard by the sharp-hearing Xius, and his face couldn't help but blush.

Once upon a time, this was what he thought of old John in his heart.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, everything was turned upside down.

If Xiusi also crossed, then he would definitely think of a few words like "Thirty years in Hexi, thirty years in Hedong" and "Don't bully young people into poverty".

It's a pity he's not.

So he could only stand with his voice in his voice.

Nisse Town, who has spent the whole winter, has shown strength behind him, and he has to bow his head.

Kerry Mark's father saw it and kindly said, "Are you talking about this? This is the invention of our lord, and he called this thing a red clay stove, and the thing that burned in it was called honeycomb coal. It's small and delicate enough to move around, cook things and keep warm, and you don't have to worry about fires, it's just a mobile fireplace! Even he is even better than the fireplace! The combustion of these honeycomb coals has not yet produced smoke, that is, the lord said that it must be ventilated. Otherwise, you may faint and even be in danger of your life. Of course, as long as it is ventilated, there is no problem. ”

Kerry Mark's father is now considered a "superior person" in Nisse Town, although he is not as powerful as Old John, but he is not worried about offending Old John after a small break.

As he expected, old John was not at all unhappy.

Hearing Kerry Mark's detailed explanation, Hughes's expression gradually returned to normal, and his eyes continued to look at the red clay furnace.

As a businessman, he knew all too well the business opportunities behind this thing.

Although winter has passed, the weather is still relatively cold.

Such a "mobile fireplace" that can heat and cook things will definitely be sought after by many people, but I don't know how much the price is?

But then again, this Baron Dicasse is really not a simple character.

Hughes remembered that the woodsaw, which was now popular throughout the principality, was his invention.

It was this sawsaw that made logging easier and faster, so this winter, the firewood in Patras City dropped a lot.

This winter, many people can become relatively calm.

It can be said that this Baron Dicas, who benefited one side.

A glint flashed in Hughes' eyes, and he said, "Can you show me this red ...... Mobile fireplace? ”

Hughes couldn't remember the correct name for the red clay stove, so he had to refer to it as a mobile fireplace.

Kerry Mark's father refused without hesitation, "Of course...... No way! ”

The look of disappointment on Hughes's face flashed, and he was immediately relieved, and he thought to himself that the last time the sawsaw was imitated by others, causing Baron Dicass to lose a large amount of money. Now that he has a new invention, it's normal to be worried!

Kerry Mark's father then said, "This one is burning honeycomb coal, it's too hot." If you want to look, it's on the shelves, and the red clay stove and honeycomb coal are placed on it. ”

Xius was stunned, then overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Where?" ”

Kerry Mark's father immediately pointed in a direction.

Hughes rushed over like a pervert who saw ** and like a wild dog on the loose.

Old John shook his head disdainfully, thinking that Hughes had no grace at all.

He can't do that, and in the near future, Lord William will keep his promise, and then he will be a knight.

You can't mess up the battle!

Old John thought to himself.

At this time, Xiusi was in front of the shelf, picking up the red clay stove and constantly observing, looking at the honeycomb coal next to him from time to time, and doubts flashed in his eyes.

Old Gretel's eldest son, Big Gretel, was patrolling the nearby shelves.

He was becoming more and more silent now, especially after the lizardmen were beaten back, and especially after his brother became the leader of the Knights, he just kept quiet every day.

It contrasts sharply with Kerry Mark's father's laid-back expression.

He saw Xiusi standing in front of the shelves in a daze, looking at the honeycomb coal, thought about it, then walked over with a straight face, and said in a deep voice, "This is a red clay stove, and that one is honeycomb coal, as long as you put the honeycomb coal in it and light it, it's fine!" ”

"Each piece of honeycomb coal can burn two candles, and the burning time is about ."

"Hmm...... Thank you! Hughes was stunned for a moment, then thanked Big Gretel, and then asked, "By the way, what is this honeycomb coal made of?" Dark? ”

Big Gretel was silent when he heard this, glanced at Xius with an expressionless face, and then retreated to another place without saying a word.
