There was a little embarrassment on Hughes's face.

After all, what he just did was not a good thing!

In the words of William's previous life, it was spying on business intelligence.

Hughes could see at a glance that the red clay stove had no technical content, and any potter could make it, with a focus on honeycomb coal.

It's a lot like blackstone, but it's not that regular.

And there will be thick smoke when the black stone is burned, which is not available in this honeycomb coal.

So Hughes wasn't sure.

If he could know how honeycomb coal was made, then Hughes could guarantee that his caravan would definitely be several times larger in size.

But the vigilance of the people in Nisse Town is indeed not low.

This is Old John glanced at Xius dissatisfied, and said lightly, "The recipe for making honeycomb coal is the top secret of our town, Xius, don't inquire!" Even I don't know! You'd better focus on something else. ”

"You misunderstood!" At this time, Xiusi will definitely not admit it.

Old John snorted, and then said without a beak, "Both the red clay stove and the honeycomb coal can be sold to the outside world. The Red Clay Stove sells for one silver coin and the honeycomb coal costs five copper pooles. ”

"Mr. Hughes, are you interested?"

Whether it is a red clay stove or honeycomb coal, the price is more expensive than what William sold to the villagers.

After thinking about it in his heart, Xiusi raised his head and said affirmatively, "Of course! I am so grateful to the Baron for the opportunity I have given me, how could I give it up? I want one, oh no, ten! If you want honeycomb coal, give me a thousand first. Is that okay, Lord John? ”

Ten red clay stoves are the price of three gold pis, and a thousand honeycomb coals also have five gold pis.

In total, there are eight Pis Gold Coins.

After Hughes finished speaking, he looked at old John worriedly, for fear that he would refuse.

"No problem." Old John's words relieved Hughes.

Originally, he only had one idea for the red clay stove, and he could go back and ask the potters to imitate it, but when he remembered Baron Dicas, he quickly changed his mind, so as not to cause the other party unpleasant.

Old John was also happy.

William took this matter very seriously, and the eight gold Pis coins were a good start.

Therefore, old John rarely showed a hint of a smile and beckoned to Hughes, "The sweet porridge has become cold, you can drink it!" ”

Naturally, Xius did not disagree, and took the sweet porridge and drank it.

The sweetness spreads in the taste buds, and the heart of Theseus is also sweet.

Xius couldn't help but drink it in one gulp, and he was a little reluctant to put down the pottery bowl, it turned out to be really sweet.

Hughes immediately remembered its business opportunity and asked Old John, "Master John, how do you sell this sweet powder?" ”

"Sweet powder is not for sale!" Old John flatly refused, and William said that sweet powder would not be sold unless absolutely necessary.

Old John saw that Hughes was so interested in the honeycomb coal, so he had the confidence to refuse Hughes's request.

The disappointment on Hughes' face was inevitable, but it was fleeting.

Old John noticed this, and threw out the main joke, "Mr. Theseus, I have a commodity here, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

"What's that?" Hughes cheered up.

"Salt!" Old John landed with a sound.

"Oh, salt." Xius said casually, his mind was still on the sweet powder, but in the next second, Xius reacted suddenly, his eyes widened, he looked at Old John, and said in disbelief, "Master John, are you talking about salt?" ”

Old John nodded.

"Lord John, is it salt as precious as Pis Gold Coins?"

Old John nodded affirmatively.

"Oh my God!" Hughes said in an exaggerated tone, "Is this a treasure trove?" Did Baron Decass dig a salt mine? ”

Old John's face sank suddenly, "Mr. Theseus, be careful with your words. ”

Hughes reacted that everyone needs salt in their bodies, it is a necessity and a luxury, and a salt mine can cause a war.

He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Master John. Shall I say that Baron Decass got the precious salt from the hands of other adults? That's a real big shot! ”

Hughes made up an excuse for William.

Old John's face softened.

In fact, he didn't know how William's snow salt came from at first, and he thought that William had found a salt mine in the dark forest.

But old John wisely kept silent about it, and ignored it.

Until one day, William told him where the salt came from.

It was a plant unique to the Dark Forest.

It's not special, whether it's a branch for firewood or a trunk for a roof beam, it's just ordinary.

Just like a student in William's previous life school, there was nothing special about it, and he didn't impress the teacher.

But even this plant, when the sun is not out in the early morning, secretes some milky white liquid from its trunk.

These liquids contain salt, and as long as they are cooked, they are ready to eat.

But as soon as the sun comes out, these milky white liquids on the trunk of the tree quickly evaporate.

Therefore, no villagers have found out about this situation.

Every month, a lot of money is spent to go to the city of Patras to buy low-quality salt to eat.

William knew that this was also a coincidence.

Once, he wanted to try to see if the gourmet table could make salt, and the direction of the raw material was limited to the dark forest.

William had studied biology, so he knew that there were organic salts, inorganic salts, and the like in nature.

It would be no surprise that the gourmet table could make salt, William.

But to William's surprise, the amount of salt produced at the gourmet table far exceeded his estimate.

With so many times using gourmet tables, William had already learned his experience.

The more troublesome or difficult the food is made, the more magic will be expended on the gourmet table, and the less food will be produced.

But this time, the salt was much more than William expected.

William was immediately intrigued, and after several attempts, he finally used the magic mirror to determine the source of the salt.

It's this kind of tree that secretes salt.

In fact, William also saw this kind of tree in his previous life, called halophytes.

It's just that William has never seen a halophyte that secretes so much.

In William's view, they are bio-salt mines.

William gave them the name of Salt Wood, and then told Old John about it, and asked him to build a garden in the town, which was heavily guarded, and to transplant this salt wood, and to have some honest and reliable people collect the salt, boil it into salt crystals, and sell it in the grocery store.

Staring at the snow salt that Kerry Mark's father had taken out with fascination, Theus muttered, "Master John, how do you sell this salt?" ”

John Sr. and Kerry Mark's father glanced at each other.

Old John hesitated for a moment, and said, "This salt is not cheap. ”

Hughes nodded in understanding.

So old John said, "A pound of salt, and a hundred of gold." If you buy it......"

"There are still discounts" Before he finished speaking, Xiusi responded, "I want it!" ”

After speaking, he looked at old John with a blank eye, for fear that he would break his promise.

Seeing him like this, Old John really regretted it in his heart - he knew that it would be a little more expensive!
