Chapter 764: Guardian Fruit
"The general is really good means, admire and admire. The director did not hide his surprise at all, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, Long Yu couldn't help but praise, "Your Excellency doesn't know anything about me, and you trespassed on me without permission, and you dare to drink the wine I gave you in one gulp, which is enough to see Your Excellency's courage, and I also admire it." "The general said that he laughed, am I still afraid that you will not succeed in using poison?" said the director with a smile.
"Then let's get straight to the point, what to say. "Long Yu is colorful. "Okay, the general is a cheerful person, I don't ink, I came today to give a gift to the general on behalf of my boss, and I hope the general will take care of him in the future." The director clapped his hands, and two people jumped in through the open window, just two lightly dressed High Elves, with delicate bodies and masks, but judging by their posture, they should be women.
"Take it. The supervisor gave an order, and the two women pulled in a cloth bag from the window, which was large enough to hold fifty or sixty pounds of things. "It's not a respect, I hope the general will laugh. The two women said in unison, one of them spread a corner, the cloth bag was scattered, and suddenly the room was shining with gold, Long Yu fixed his eyes and saw that the cloth bag was a bunch of golden gold coins and some precious stones, just looking at the color to know that it was not an ordinary thing.
There are more than 10,000 gold coins alone, plus those gems, this package of things will cost tens of thousands, Long Yu's face remained unchanged and said: "Such a heavy gift, I'm afraid I don't dare to accept it." "Don't worry, general, no one knew about it when we came, and these things are all clean, so they will definitely not cause trouble to the general. The director said confidently.
"Hehe, it's not this that I care about, what I care about is that I have only met the supervisor once, as for the boss in your mouth, I haven't seen it at all, and I don't have any friendship. Long Yu explained, although there is a lot of money on this land, but it is not to the point where he is dizzy, the artifact shop has an inexplicable relationship with this city gate tax, and Long Yu has also seen it before, this shop is indeed weird, a one that sells spices, can attract so many customers, and the performance of those guests is also very out-of-line, this spice, there must be something special.
He came to himself and threw down the money, but the things behind it were not clear, how did he get the money?" The butler clapped his hands and said approvingly.
"In the next place, there is actually a request for the general. The director motioned for the two women to flash out of the door, and then glanced at Ye Wenhao, who was still eating happily. "He's my brother, it's okay. Long Yu returned, the director nodded, and said, "The general has been in office for a while, I don't know how much income is from this East City Gate?" Long Yu returned with a smile.
"Don't mind, general, since the general doesn't say it, then I guess. The visitor stretched out two fingers and said: "The daily income is only these at most, and as far as I know, the general has to pay far more than his income every month, if the general does not find a way, then the general will have to bear these taxes himself." ”
"The Director knows a lot. "Long Yu doesn't hide it, and people with a discerning eye can see that this city gate is just a rotten yamen, and it can't make ends meet. "So, in the next place, it's actually to provide a way for the general to make money. The director looked at Long Yu with a smile, went around in circles, and finally arrived at the topic.
"The general also knows that when the Knights Templar were stationed here in the past, the minimum income a day was five thousand gold coins, not including other inputs, and now, since the general is sitting in this position, how about this road to making money to be transferred to the general?" Seeing that Long Yu was still hesitating, as if he was thinking about something, the master in charge actually burst out directly.
"The director is really direct, I don't know what the way you said to make money is?"
"General, that's all for my words, as long as the general accepts these things, the way to make money will naturally be at your fingertips. The Director pointed to the gleaming pile of gold on the ground, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious.
"Okay, I'll take these things, but you won't ask me to sign a contract or anything, right?" Long Yu laughed, Ye Wenhao stood up, bandaged the cloth on the ground, lifted it with one hand, and walked out with it.
"Your brother has so much strength. "This pack of things, even if it is a martial artist under his command, it is not an easy task to lift it so easily, and besides, that kid does not use energy at all, and his physical strength alone is enough to see that his strength is extraordinary.
"Hehe, it's just stupid strength, now, I've collected the money, shouldn't my lord be more open?" Long Yu spread his hands and said. "The general is really a cheerful person, then I will say it bluntly, this way of making money, naturally from this city gate, our store has to buy goods from the outside three or four times a day, and each time the weight of the goods is not light, as long as the general promises not to inspect the goods, then the tax into the city, the store will naturally overdeliver, according to the amount of tax, not only enough to deal with the general's explanation to the above, even if it is the general himself, it is also a benefit. The director patted Long Yu on the shoulder and said.
"The inspection of goods in and out of the city, this seems to be my business, but I don't know, what is it that the adults in charge are transporting?" asked Long Yu pretending to be curious. "This general doesn't have to worry about it, as long as the general is open, then both of us will have a lot of money and benefits. The supervisor's face was less enthusiastic and more warned.
"Oh, that's it. Long Yu sat up straight. "High five, we will continue to stock tomorrow. The director stood up, Long Yu was also very cooperative and slapped his palm, the two sides were very happy The negotiation was over, the director left with his own people, and Long Yu continued to eat his own food.
"Big brother, is that person gone?" Ye Wenhao came in from outside the door, and when he saw Long Yu who was drinking, he asked, "Well, let's go, did Xiao Han find out what that spice is?" "I just went there, and the house was tightly closed, and it seems that there was a discovery." "Okay, wait for Xiaohan's conclusion. "Long Yu returned.
"Big brother, with so much money, what does that guy want you to do?" Ye Wenhao asked. "I don't know what it is, but he told me not to check the goods in their artifact shop, which are either smuggled or contraband, and I'll find out tomorrow. ”
"Big brother, didn't you promise them not to inspect their goods, how can you know what they are shipping?" Ye Wenhao asked puzzled. "As long as I pass under my castle, I can know what it is. Long Yu said confidently. "Do we really want to do this business?" Ye Wenhao asked unhappily. "Do it, why don't you do it?" Long Yu asked with a smile, Ye Wenhao was confused at first, but suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes, you must do it." ”
It was already the middle of the night when Yi Shuihan figured out the ingredients of the spice, and the meditating Long Yu and the sleeping Ye Wenhao were both called up, and the three of them gathered in the hall on the first floor, looking at the powder on the table that had turned blackened, "What is this? Ye Wenhao covered his nose and said.
"It's called Golden Brown Lychee Fruit, and it's a very peculiar plant fruit, and it's the reason why this spice drives those guests crazy. Yi Shuihan pointed to the black powder and said. "This thing is made of spices, so stinky?" Ye Wenhao covered his nose with a look of disbelief, indeed, it is really hard to believe that such an unpleasant smelling thing should be used as an ingredient in food.
And the previous bottles of spices, the taste of spices is very intoxicating, and there will never be such a bad smell in them. "Don't believe it, you see, it's a whole bottle of spices. Yi Shuihan took out a bottle of complete spices from the sealed wooden box next to him, and the strong fragrance of the spices immediately covered the stench of the black powder, making it only fragrant in his nose.
"This bottle of spices, in fact, is no different from ordinary spices, but it has added a flavor to it, that is, this golden dumpling lizi liquid fruit, which is also this thing, which makes the color of the spice turn dark purple. Yi Shuihan explained carefully, and Ye Wenhao said impatiently: "Why do you say it in such detail, you can directly say what this fruit is for." ”
Yi Shuihan glanced at Long Yu, Long Yu nodded, and Yi Shuihan said: "Frankly and directly, this thing is poison." "What, poisonous?" Ye Wenhao's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his own, there are so many people who break their heads and fight to buy poisonous things, and if they can't buy it, it's not okay, what kind of poison is this, it's so powerful.
"Xiao Han, to be clear. Long Yu was also puzzled, this food was mixed with poison, it was impossible for so many people to pursue it. "It is said to be poisonous, only because of its characteristics, in a way, it not only does not harm people, but it brings happiness to people. ”
"What is with what, the preface does not match the afterword. Ye Wenhao couldn't help but make noise. "Listen to him slowly. Long Yu glared at Ye Wenhao, and Ye Wenhao sat down peacefully.
"This fruit, its flavor is fragrant, the unique aroma can be transmitted for dozens of miles, but it is extremely difficult to pick, because in the place where the fruit gathers, there will inevitably be a large group of beasts gathered there, the task of these beasts is to protect the fruit, if it is an alien beast or other species, unless these beasts are killed to get this fruit, therefore, this fruit has another name, called guardian fruit. Yi Shuihan explained slowly.
Ye Wenhao sat on the side and couldn't stop rolling his eyes, and after talking for a long time, he was still talking about the Book of Heaven, "Guardian Fruit, as long as it is a spiritual object, there will inevitably be a spirit beast to protect it, since this thing in your hand is a poison, how can the poison be guarded by a wild beast?" Long Yu asked puzzled.
"Actually, the beasts did not voluntarily guard the fruit, but were only bewitched by the aroma of the fruit and were subject to it, and in fact, it was the fruit itself that commanded the beasts to guard them. Yi Shuihan said that Long Yu and Ye Wenhao were both surprised and confused.
