Chapter 576: Mine Rats
Early the next morning
Desert City is the same as usual, the sky above is still gray, because the wind is not strong, the floating dust in the sky, as soon as he goes out, Wang Tong eats a head and a face of ash. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, Wang Tong has recovered his previous tall and thin appearance, especially a face, which is extremely slender, but it is eight points similar to the fat head in the Hong Kong TV series in his previous life, not to mention that he is a person he doesn't recognize, even a person who is extremely familiar with him, and it is impossible to recognize it.
He hadn't taken a few steps out of the door when he saw the young man who had brought him over yesterday coming up again, "Sir, it's early!"
"Well, it's early!" Wang Tong nodded, glanced at him, and showed a hint of a smile, "What a coincidence, I didn't know where to find you, and you arrived." ā
"Where is it, Mr. looks too small, the small one is to eat this bowl of rice, yesterday you said that you wanted to go to the spiritual material market, so the small one kept a heart, thinking that you had a night off, and you should go today, so I waited here for Mr. As he spoke, he handed over a hood that had been changed from a hat, "Sir, the wind and sand in the city are too strong, you will be more comfortable wearing this." ā
"You have a heart. Wang Tong nodded, and threw another piece of broken silver to him, "Lead the way." ā
The young man took the silver, his face was happy, and he thanked him repeatedly, and walked in the direction of the spiritual material market first.
The spiritual material market is not far from where Wang Tong lives, it is only five or six miles, along the way, there are not many people, most of them cover their heads and faces with cloth, and some people wear the same hats as him, all of them are in a hurry, obviously even local residents, in the face of such wind and sand weather, there is not much resistance.
After a while, they arrived at the spiritual material market.
This spiritual material market is very large, but it is also very simple, that is, in the leeward place, a huge shed made of several thick wooden poles, there are some stalls in it, but there are not many people, it seems that there are almost a dozen stalls on the head, and there are a lot of stones in the stalls that I don't know where they were dug up, and the stall owners are all listless, as for the customers, there is no one.
Seeing Wang Tong's puzzled face, the young man said with some embarrassment, "The wind and sand in Desert City are too big, especially in the last few months, it is the wind season, so there are no people. ā
"Hmm. Wang Tong nodded, he also had a clear understanding of the wind and sand in Desert City, tightened the burden on his shoulders, and followed the young man into the spiritual material market.
"Is there a place here that specializes in collecting ore and spiritual materials? ā
Reliable, a place to collect ore spiritual materials!
When the young man heard this, his face facing away from Wang Tong suddenly aroused a trace of joy, but soon, he restrained his joy, took a light breath, turned around and asked, "Yes, there is, but each one is different, some stores are small, there are not many goods that can be eaten, and some stores are very large, but they can eat a large number of goods, but the price is different." ā
"Take me to the bigger places. Wang Tong didn't think about it, and said directly.
"Okay!" said the young man excitedly, "You come with me!!"
The spiritual material market is very large, Wang Tong calculated that the area is at least the size of five or six football fields, in addition to those stalls outside, in the depths of the market, there are several storefronts, which seem to be big merchants, and follow the young man into one of the shops that looks to be larger.
As soon as he entered the store, he was greeted by a servant, and when he saw the person, the young man glanced lightly, and the person's eyes suddenly lit up, and then his face was full of smiles, and he walked up to Wang Tong and said, "Hello guest, I don't know what the guest needs?"
"I heard that you collect ore spirit materials here?" Wang Tong looked at him carefully and asked.
"The small shop only accepts valuable spiritual materials. The man's face was full of kindness, but he seemed a little aggressive when he spoke, "I don't know what kind of goods the guest wants." The man looked at Wang Tong with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"Valuable spiritual materials?" Wang Tong's expression looked a little stunned, and he smiled, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ā
"Guest, please come with me. ā
Seeing Wang Tong's look of leaning, the man led him into the back hall of the store with a strange smile.
"Guest, you wait for a while, drink some tea, and the villain will ask the shopkeeper to come over." ā
"Hmm!" Wang Tong nodded, showing a slightly impatient look, "Go and come back quickly, I have other things." ā
"Yes!" the man exited the back hall, lowered the curtain, and after a few moments ushered in an old man who looked wealthy.
"This gentleman, thank you for a long time. ā
"Don't dare. Wang Tong got up and bowed back a little, "Your Excellency is the shopkeeper here, right?"
"Yes, in Xia Wang Renli, temporarily residing here as the shopkeeper, I heard that the guest officer has goods to be delivered, I don't know what it is?" As he spoke, he had already moved his gaze to the burden that Wang Tong was pressing tightly in his hand.
"Look, shopkeeper. When he arrived at the ground, Wang Tong seemed to be relieved, untied his burden, revealing five or six pieces of ore the size of a fist, "Shopkeeper, look, how is this purple stone?"
"Amethyse?" When the old man heard this, his face obviously showed a look of disappointment, purple stone is a kind of ore spiritual material, yes, but it is just an ordinary kind, and the value above the market is not too high, in fact, hundreds of years ago, this kind of ore, one hundred and twenty miles outside the desert city, under the Red Flame Mountain, it is precisely because of the existence of the Red Flame Mountain, the desert city has been established, in fact, this city was first composed of the miners of the Red Flame Mountain, but later with the passage of time, the stone products of the Red Flame Mountain were collected, and the place gradually became desolate, until finally, the Sha family fled from the Central Plains, because of the merit of resisting the wild beasts, atoning for their sinsThe head of the Sha family looked at the desert around the city, looked at the only big lake and the only deep well that could produce sweet water within a radius of thousands of miles, and named this place Desert City.
Back then, the mine in Chiyan Mountain produced purple stone, and even now, some people have some luck in their hearts, enter the dense cobweb-like pit, and occasionally can find some purple stone.
It's just that for most people, the distance between the abandoned mine pit and Desert City is too far, even if you get some ore and want to bring it back to Desert City, it is not an easy thing, not to mention the existence of sand thieves in the desert, and the input is not proportional to the output, so except for a very small number of people who are really desperate, there are very likely people to go to the mine again, and these desperate people who go to the mine to try their luck have another name, mine rats.
Yes, when the shopkeeper saw a few pieces of purple stone that Wang Tong took out, and then looked closely at his dress, skin color, nails on his hands, and calluses, he concluded that the person in front of him was a mine mouse.
After confirming the identity of the other party, he was a little disappointed.
"Just these purple stones, but they are not worth much, I see sir, let's go to another house." ā
"I know these amethys aren't worth much, but what if I can ship them in large quantities?"
"Mass shipments?!" The shopkeeper's heart moved, and his gaze at Wang Tong became strange, what was the situation in those abandoned mines, he knew it well, because he had been there more than once, and it had been abandoned for eight hundred years, and for eight hundred years, countless people had entered the area to hunt for treasures, and even the ore had been picked up, and in recent years, few people had been able to find ore from it, so the number of mine rats had decreased sharply.
However, the person in front of him said that it could be shipped in large quantities, and there was only one explanation for this.
Warehouse!!
This guy should have found an abandoned, or for various reasons, he library that has not been emptied, and only in this way can he get a large number of asterite stones, this kind of thing, it has not happened in history, in fact, it has happened more than once, those mining rats who found the warehouse, some of them made a fortune because of this, and more of them died without a place to be buried, but I don't know what the outcome of this person in front of me will be.
Thinking of this, he slowly walked to the top of the ore and looked at it carefully.
The ore gave him a clean feeling, although there was still some wind and sand, but he could see that these wind and sand had just been stained on the road, not the kind that had been buried deep in the ground for many years.
Yes, warehouse!
Only the ore in the warehouse can have such a clean and cold atmosphere.
Thinking that he might find a warehouse of spiritual materials hundreds of years ago, Rao is well-informed, and his heart couldn't help but get excited, and in order to confirm his judgment, he picked up another piece of ore.
"Hey, that's ......"
As soon as he came across this stone mine, he had a completely different feeling from before, and he secretly gasped in his heart, forcibly suppressing his expression with his will to prevent his expression from distorting.
Picking up this piece of ore, his hand was already trembling slightly, and he had to hold it with his left hand, which was a little better.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you?" Wang Tong asked with concern as if he saw that something was wrong with him.
"Oh, nothing, nothing, it's been a little windy these days. The shopkeeper laughed twice, put the ore to his eyes, observed it carefully, and gradually calmed down.
Putting down the ore casually, he said to Wang Passage in a tone as calm as possible, "Ziyingshi, how many do you have there?"
"It's not too much, but it should be enough for the expensive store. ā
"Okay, I've got it all. The shopkeeper made a thinking appearance, pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and nodded, "However, you'd better hurry, in this case, to catch up with our shipping date, the price may be a little higher, otherwise it will be difficult to say if you miss this shipment date." ā
"Okay, shopkeeper, give me a price, if you are satisfied, I will be able to deliver the goods within three days." ā
"Yes. The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and quoted a good price on the spot, which was much cheaper than the sporadic purchase price at the stalls outside, but far more expensive than the price of those large quantities of goods.
Wang Tong seemed a little surprised by the price and glanced at him.
"It's not good, I'm too anxious, I should bargain with him again. Seeing Wang Tong's eyes, he immediately understood what his problem was, and quickly remedied, "This is the highest price that the small store can offer, if it weren't for the rush to ship, it would never give you this price, if you don't believe it, you can go out and inquire to see which store can offer a higher price than us?"
Wang Tong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then that's it." As he spoke, he pointed to a few pieces of ore on the table and said, "These are samples, three days later, five watches, go to Huxi Goutoupo to pick up the goods, when the time comes, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, I hope the shopkeeper understands the rules." ā
"Don't worry, I know the rules. The shopkeeper was overjoyed and nodded in response.
