"It's ...... Chili pepper? ”

Although he didn't dare to step forward and get too close, Yang Tuo still recognized what Chu Ran took out.

What was placed on the bookcase in front of me was a red chili pepper.

"Exactly!"

Looking at Yang Tuo in front of him, Chu Ran said with a smile.

"Dare to ask the emperor if he wants to buy chili peppers from our Treasure Pavilion?" At this moment, Yang Tuo felt a little dazed.

It is not unusual for Chu Ran to be able to take out the chili peppers. Although chili peppers are not cheap, Chu Ran is the king of a country, and he naturally has them.

It's just that he doesn't know what Chu Ran is doing with this.

Naturally, the chili peppers of the Great Xia Kingdom are purchased from the Great Ze Kingdom every month, and it has been this practice for a hundred years.

Could it be that the emperor in front of him thinks that the chili pepper is not enough to eat? Yang Tuo couldn't help but wonder a little.

"Not really!"

Shaking his head, Chu Ran said with a smile: "It's just that I want to ask, if I give the chili pepper to the Treasure Pavilion in the future, what price can I sell it for?" ”

As early as when he knew that chili peppers valued extremely precious things in this world, Chu Ran paid attention to them. Now that I know that the Treasure Pavilion has business dealings with various countries, I naturally thought of this.

Chili peppers are rare in this world, but they are very common in the real world.

The real world has now become the end of the world, and people may not even be able to eat rice, who cares about chili peppers.

Since chili peppers are so expensive in this world, Chu Ran naturally got the idea of it.

It's just that although Chu Ran doesn't have chili peppers now, it doesn't mean that he won't have them in the future.

After listening to Chu Ran's words, Yang Tuo was originally curious about when the Great Xia Kingdom would produce chili peppers, but when the words came to his lips, he forcibly held back. After all, what to ask and what not to ask in front of the emperor, Yang Tuo still knows.

……

……

Half an hour, Chu Ran took Xiao Dongzi and them out of the Treasure Pavilion.

The purchase price of the chili pepper that Yang Tuo offered him was also one hundred taels of gold per catty, so it could be said that the Treasure Pavilion had no intention of making Chu Ran's money at all.

After all, building a good relationship with the king of a country is the most important thing, so Yang Tuo naturally will not open his mouth at this time.

At the same time, Chu Ran simply asked about the prices of some other goods, and after a simple conversation, he had a number in his heart.

There are some things that Zhao Yindong will not understand, after all, they stay in the palace all day, and it is impossible for them to know more than the merchants.

Carefully returned to the palace, and no one found anyone along the way.

After a night without words, after breakfast the next day, Chu Ran returned to the real world. The practice of the Great Xia Kingdom is to go to court every ten days, so the emperor is still relatively idle in normal times.

When he came to Zhang Chao's room, Chu Ran saw that he was eating instant noodles.

The food in this farmhouse is so expensive that Zhang Chao naturally doesn't care what they want to eat.

Knock knock!

While the two were researching when to hit the road, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

Carrying a short sword, he came to the door of the room, and Chu Ran asked in a deep voice.

Although it is inevitable that the one who knows the trick will not be a zombie, Chu Ran still understands the truth of being careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.

"It's me, can you open the door?"

Outside the door, a man's voice was heard.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ran still opened the door.

Standing outside the door was the middle-aged man I saw downstairs yesterday, standing outside the door, a little at a loss.

"Something?"

After looking at the man, Chu Ran asked.

The middle-aged man's thigh was injured, and there were still blood stains on his trouser leg.

Chu Ran and the other party didn't know each other, and they didn't know what the man was here for.

"That ......" The middle-aged man smelled the instant noodles in the room, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and after hesitating, he asked tentatively, "Little brother, can you give me something to eat?" ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man looked at Chu Ran expectantly.

After listening to the other party's words, Chu Ran was silent.

"You know what's going on out there, too." Pointing out the window, Chu Ran said lightly: "It's not easy to find something to eat now, and our food is limited." ”

Although Chu Ran is not stingy, everyone knows the current situation.

Finding food is no easy task, but any larger supermarket is likely to have countless zombies.

Even though Chu Ran was able to return to the Great Xia Kingdom, he could also fill the storage space with more food over there. But after all, sometimes it's not so convenient, and it's still necessary to carry something to eat with you.

"Little brother, I know it too. It wasn't a problem for me to skip a meal for a few days, but my father hadn't eaten for two days. ”

Listening to Chu Ran's words, the middle-aged man's expression was a little gloomy, and he said to himself: "If I hadn't injured my leg when I ran away with my father before, maybe I could have gone to find something to eat." ”

"That's right!" At this time, the middle-aged man thought of something and suddenly became excited.

I saw him take out two keys from his jacket pocket, and said with some excitement: "I'll exchange this for some food, what do you think?" ”

Seeing Chu Ran looking at him with a blank expression, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained: "I am the administrator of the suburban police station, and this is the key to the gun hangar." ”

It turned out that the man in front of him was the police officer in charge of keeping the firearms at the police station. While he was on duty that day, the world became the end of the world.

As a matter of common sense, an armory with a gun requires two keys to open it. On that day, the deputy director went out to run errands, so he temporarily let him keep his other key.

When the end times happened, the middle-aged man originally wanted to go to the gun depot to get the gun out. But the occupants of a room next to the gun hangar where temporary prisoners were kept were all zombies.

As a result, the middle-aged man ran out before he had time to get a gun from the armory.

When I left the police station, I remembered that my father lived here, so I rushed here.

Just as he saw his father, a large truck had somehow rushed into their bungalow, and then the middle-aged man was injured in the leg and took his father all the way here.

"You mean, you still have two pistols in your police station's gun arsenal right now?"

After listening to the middle-aged man's narration, Chu Ran asked.

Chu Ran had never seen that key, and it didn't look like an ordinary key just from the outside.

"What I said is absolutely true!" As if thinking that Chu Ran didn't believe his words, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained: "It's just that when I left the police station, there were at least six or seven zombies in it, and I was not an opponent at all." Otherwise, the gun would have been taken out long ago. ”

Thinking that he didn't get a gun, the middle-aged man couldn't help but show a regretful expression.

"So even if we have these two keys, if we want to get the gun, we need to deal with six or seven zombies, right?"

Zhang Chao on the side put down the fork in his hand and said teasingly.

"This ......" After listening to Zhang Chao's words, the middle-aged man said with some embarrassment: "Theoretically, this is the case, but maybe those zombies have run away." If I hadn't hurt my leg, I'd have to go back and have a look. ”

The key is here, but in this case everyone knows that it will be dangerous to go back and get the gun. The middle-aged man scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Zhang Chao, give him a bag of biscuits."

After thinking about it briefly, Chu Ran said to Zhang Chao. Then, he reached out and took the two keys in the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man originally wanted to give up, but he didn't expect Chu Ran to agree, and after taking a bag of biscuits, he left happily.

"Boss, we don't really want to go to the police station to get a gun, do we?"

After the middle-aged man left, Zhang Chao hesitated.

He also knew that it would be safer to have a gun, but if it was really like what the middle-aged man said, the gun would not be so easy to obtain.

"The suburban police station is just over a kilometer away from here, so if you go to see it, you may still be able to gain something. If you're afraid, I'll go by myself. ”

Chu Ran got up and walked towards the door.

There is no pie in the sky in everything, Chu Ran has always thought so.

"Wait for my boss!"

Zhang Chao, who was originally a little timid, hurriedly followed behind Chu Ran when he remembered the scene when Chu Ran killed those zombies and blew down those big men yesterday.
