Chapter 162: Fishing
Business negotiations are not fun, with all sorts of intrigues. Although the businessmen belong to the same chamber of commerce, they will not be soft when faced with business opportunities, nor will they give away the benefits they have received because they are familiar with each other. But after all, it's a new commodity, and no one can say how much it's worth. The risk is too high, and everyone's desire to bid is not high. In fact, after hearing John's offer, many traders have already decided to quit. The amount of silver that weighs as much as this plate is a large sum, and even if you grit your teeth and take it out, if you smash it in your hand, your three or five years of hard work will be in vain. 、
As a result, these merchants look at me, I look at you, and a long time has passed, and when the innkeeper brings the barbecue, grilled fish, and ale, there is no bid. John is not in a hurry, to be honest, he has not thought about selling it, he can sell it, and if he can't sell it, he will use it as a plate. This plate was made by Abbott, and if it weren't for the divine power with Abbott on it, this plate wouldn't have appeared on the Source Continent at all.
Unexpectedly, Abbott still has such superb painting skills, John looked at the luxurious and complicated patterns on the plate but did not look bloated, and thoughtfully. Did you ask Abbott to learn some painting?
The people over there communicated for a while, and it seemed that everyone's interest was not very high. Come to think of it, this price is also quite high, and without knowing the market, not many businessmen are willing to gamble like this. Since everyone was reluctant to leave the bet, they tacitly did not mention the matter again, and let the plate be left like this, and everyone's attention was on the fish, meat and ale sent by the innkeeper, as well as the freshly baked bread. Merchants are hard work, and it is better to be able to find a place to have a good meal than anything else, not to mention that it is forbidden to drink alcohol most of the time when they are merchants, but now that the old goods have been emptied, and the new goods have not been purchased, it is the time to be free.
When John saw this scene, he also guessed seven, seven, eight, eight. Since everyone was not going to buy any more, John put his things away. It's dinner time, and many of the workshop workers are going out to eat with their families with the deposit they have received from the owner, so even though there are only a few people staying in the restaurant, the restaurant downstairs is slowly becoming lively.
At this time, John did not borrow the kitchen, so as not to make it difficult for the boss. Seeing that John was about to leave with his plate, the merchants still invited John to have a meal with him - it didn't cost much, and he was able to come up with such a high-end product, and explained that he was the one who could make these things, and there might be other good things in his hands, even if he didn't, it was fate, and everyone had a glass of wine together was also a good way to make friends. John politely declined, but still asked the boss to count the money for the drink for himself. This move made everyone feel good, and after smiling and thanking him, he watched John go upstairs.
Because Selena and Goliath ran out to play, now John was the only one in the room, and Marcima and Cook were also outside, using their powers to make themselves invisible and slowly wandering around. Lying on the bed, John took out the Sika Bell and said, "Who is this calling me? You say you know, but it's not a silver knight or a black knight, and I can't think of it at once." The bell rang softly, as if in response to John's words. "It should be very close, I wonder when it will come back?"
The bell didn't make a sound this time, and I don't know what it means. John put the bell back into space, and the originally fearful dream, after figuring out the reason, made John have a desire to follow. Gently closing his eyes, John took the initiative to respond to the call. However, this cry seems to be running into some trouble, and its thoughts come intermittently. John was a little anxious: "Where are you, do you need me to come over?" After a while, there was an echo, as if to express that he had found his way, and he just had to wait.
Although it is intermittent and not a specific word, the meaning is very clear. Now that it could be found on its own, John was not in a hurry. I really want to know what it is, to be so smart, and to have something to do with the Yu'er Sika Bell, John is even more confused. In a good mood, when John woke up, he found that it was already dawn. When I went out, I realized that there were already a lot of people here, and I could see it from the carriage at the door. Business is good, and the boss is busy. When John saw that his feet were busy and did not touch the ground, he did not disturb him, and walked out of the inn himself.
The closer you get to the festival, the more people there are, and the whole town is soulful in the preparation of the festival.
The end of the fishing ban is not fixed every year, and the specific end time fluctuates in a five-day range, so the fishing festival is not fixed. However, because it is only a few days of error, everyone is not afraid of delay, so everyone now has a smile on their faces. I'm happy, I'm happy. John gradually relaxed and began to try to blend in with the surrounding atmosphere.
How to put it, John couldn't find any words to describe it. This feeling I had not experienced before, it was different from the solemnity of the prince's life before I spread the fire, and it was different from the repressed madness in the ashes, this feeling was more lively and joyful. Very comfortable feeling. John looked at the smiles on the faces of the people around him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously brought a smile to the corners of his mouth.
Walking slowly through the town during the day, it seems that because of the arrival of the fishing festival, whether it is a merchant or a workshop worker, even an ordinary person living in a small alley, his face is beaming, and he cannot see the person cleaning his house. In this way, John walked around the town during the day when he had nothing to do, and when he saw fresh ingredients, he bought some back, and if he didn't, he ate something at random in the inn, and his leisurely appearance made the merchants living in the same inn look sideways: he was pulling relationships everywhere to find a source of goods, his legs were about to run away, and his head was two big, you were good, and he didn't care about anything for a leisurely day. Are you a merchant or not?
In any case, the time passed quickly, and after a few days, John got up and saw that there were many shops in the street outside, and the canopies had been erected, and if nothing else, the shelves were full of goods;
On the sentry post at the gate of the town, a huge copper luo was erected there, and after the sun completely left the horizon, with the cheers of everyone, a guard struck the hammer in his hand to the gong, and in the huge "呯~" of the gong, the guard shouted: "Start today, the fishing ban is over!
