Chapter 42 Seed Trade
The No. 1 branch of the God-given Seed has three more branches, the No. 2 and No. 3 branches each have one branch, and together with the mother plant, there are currently a total of 9 plants, of which 4 are fully grown. The height of the adult plant is about 30, the leaves are dark green, the shape is slender, the strength is upright, similar to the orchid leaves, in the evening dusk, the leaf veins exude a purple gold halo, revealing a different kind of luxury.
Chonglou and several spiders of different sizes stood a little farther away for fear of damaging the blades of grass.
The high-ranking warrior named Luo Shi asked suspiciously, "Lord Banbu Mountain, your god-given seed is derived from an orchid?" Which breed is it? ”
These traveling merchants have traveled from south to north and have seen each plant with their own eyes. Luo Shi thought about it, but he couldn't distinguish the variety to which the god-given seed belonged.
Chonglou was also puzzled, and said uncertainly: "Every plant has its own unique atmosphere. Judging by the breath, it doesn't look like an orchid. ”
Banbu replied, "It's Xuncao." ”
Chonglou suddenly said, "It turned out to be Xuncao!" The kind of annual grass that sets seeds in the fall. That's not bad, Lord of Banbu Mountain, you are so lucky, nature is really favored by God, and your God-given seed has a bright future! ”
Luo Shi also echoed: "Looking at the growth, the first batch of grass seeds can be harvested this autumn." Banbu Mountain Lord, you will grow faster than all cockroach warriors, quickly grow into a high-level warrior, and become an excellent mountain master! ”
The traveling merchant traveled from south to north, dealing with all kinds of races, and was very good at talking and doing things.
Banbu didn't eat this set very much, and fell into thinking: the common Xun grass in nature is indeed autumn seeds, and the Xun grass that has been cultivated by the big harvesting ants seems to be somewhat different, and it can be harvested twice in a year. His own Xuncao life seed and God-given seed should also be harvested twice a year, right?
Chonglou saw that Banbu didn't answer, and then said: "Lord Banbu Mountain, your god-given seed is in the vigorous period of growth, and I have a small suggestion. You can pick up some animal droppings, dig a small pit and bury it next to each plant, so that it will grow more vigorously. ”
Looking for? Picking up manure? !
Banbu replied seriously: "Thank you for your suggestion, I will try, I believe this method can help it grow better." ”
Banbu changed the topic and asked: "Chonglou Mountain Lord, the Jinzhu Mountain Lord of Li Zhufeng has fallen, I am a new soldier, everything has just started, there is nothing, I don't know what you are here for......"
The traveling merchant trade is very particular, like the ordinary high-level warriors of the Iron Knife Mountain Range, they can't eat enough, and they can't take out the excess Force fruit for trading. The Wandering Merchants will not patronize the territory of such high-level warriors at all, and their main targets are "big customers" such as the Iron Sword Mountain Lord and the Chijian County Lord who have some strength and fame in the local area.
Pu Tao has the qualifications to trade with them, and can probably be regarded as a "small customer". The colorful silk bag that Pu Tao used to preserve the Force Fruit was a gift from the caravan.
Chonglou replied, "Our caravan passes through the Jinping Mountain Range and the Tiedao Mountain Range every three years and travels to Chijian County. The last time I passed by, I had some trade agreements with the Lord of Jinzhu Mountain. ”
Chonglou said distressedly: "I ordered a batch of Li bamboo, hemp bamboo and golden bamboo seeds from the lord of Jinzhu Mountain. Among them, Li Zhu seeds are very popular, and I recommended them to dozens of lords during my three-year business journey and reached a pre-sale agreement. You should know that the most important thing in business and trade is reputation, and if we can't deliver as promised, our reputation will be damaged. ”
Luo Shi said: "We came here to ask, Lord Banbu Mountain, can you collect the seeds of these three kinds of bamboo seeds?" ”
Banbu wondered why the other party came over since he knew that the Lord of Jinzhu Mountain was hanging, it turned out that he was buying Li Zhu seeds.
"Last year, during the dry season, a large number of bamboos felt threatened to survive, and at the cost of overdrawing their lives withered and died, they flowered and set seeds, and I did collect a batch of seeds," Banbu said. You mentioned that there are both Li bamboo and hemp bamboo seeds, and there are not many of them. ”
"It's a pity that there are no golden bamboo seeds at all, you know, golden bamboo is the most drought-tolerant bamboo, and now they are all alive and well."
Chonglou said happily: "It's good to have, I don't need much." ”
Madara preached: "Lord Chonglou Mountain, please wait. ”
After speaking, he went into the cave opened by the original Jinzhu Mountain owner, and dragged out a snakeskin bag, which was wrapped in python skin layer by layer, and dismantled layer by layer, and inside was a hollowed out husk, which was wrapped in cotton wool and dried and stored a seed.
Ban said: "There are still 99 Li Zhu seeds. There are 99 seeds of hemp bamboo, and I plan to keep 1 for myself to breed the seeds of life. How do you buy it if you haven't asked for advice yet? ”
"Are there only 99 Li Zhu seeds?" Chonglou was slightly disappointed and said: "I agreed with the lord of Jinzhu Mountain to have 10,000 Li Zhu seeds, and during the three years, I promised to sell more than 10,000 ......."
"So much in demand?!" Banbu's mind turned sharply and asked, "How do you buy it?" Maybe in three years I can provide a sufficient number of seeds. ”
Chonglou said: "10,000 Li bamboo seeds, a one-time payment of 10 rough stones, or equivalent goods." Hemp bamboo is the largest and longest-lived bamboo species, it only blooms and bears seeds in a hundred years, the seeds are precious, how many you want, 98 seeds, I can pay 1 rough stone, or equivalent goods. ”
After the improvement of the main Li bamboo in Jinzhu Mountain, it blooms and bears seeds once every three years, and it has been promoted for more than 20 years, so it naturally becomes less valuable.
On the contrary, it is hemp bamboo seeds, which are always precious.
In fact, the number of hemp bamboos planted in Li Zhufeng is very small, and most of them died in the drought last year, and this batch of seeds was left before they died, and there were a lot of them, but unfortunately Banbu did not expect the traveling merchant team to arrive at that time, and he did not expect it to be so valuable, so he only collected 100 seeds.
Now in the spring, those seeds have sprouted and grown into new plants, which is a missed opportunity to make a fortune.
Chonglou said boldly: "Banbu Mountain Lord, 99 Li Bamboo Seeds and 98 Ma Bamboo Seeds, I will pay you 2 rough stones, what do you think?" ”
Banbu wanted to bargain very much, and on the grounds of "seed rarity", he sat on the ground and started the price, thought about it, dispelled his thoughts, and said briskly: "Very fair price, deal!" ”
According to the one-year cycle, the traveling merchants travel around the continent from south to north and from north to south. The land of the Cockroach Kingdom and the Cockroach Kingdom is vast, the mountains and rivers are vast, and the caravan has thousands of paths to choose from, and the caravan of Chonglou passes through the Jinping Mountain Range and the Iron Dao Mountain Range once every 3 years, and the main purpose is to go to the territory of the Chijian County Lord.
Merchants are chasing profits, and the profits of trade are not enough, and they may not come next time, so they choose to go from the more profitable mountains and still reach their destination.
"Deal!" Chonglou did not hide his frustration at not being able to acquire a sufficient number of Li Zhu seeds, and said pretending to be spirited: "Banbu Mountain Lord, thank you for your seeds, it can solve my urgent needs. ”
After Chonglou finished speaking, he continued: "It can be seen that you are a straightforward mountain master, your future is immeasurable, this is our first transaction, but it is by no means the last, this is the beginning of cooperation." ”
Madara preached: "Happy cooperation! ”
Chonglou instructed the little flame spider warrior next to him: "Xuemai, take out the fire oil pine seeds and give them to the lord of Banbu Mountain." ”
After Chonglou finished his order, he explained to Banbu: "The fire oil pine cultivated by the wolf scorpion tribe in the north is a precious tree species as famous as the fire oil tung cultivated by the fire cockroach tribe. In order to monopolize profits, the wolf scorpion tribe strictly controls every fire pine seed produced, and it is strictly forbidden to spread it. ”
"This pine nut was originally a trading item agreed with the Lord of Jinzhu Mountain three years ago, and we spent a lot of money to get it, and now that the Lord of Jinzhu Mountain has fallen, and the new Mountain Lord has taken over Li Zhufeng, then I will give it to you as a congratulatory gift."
