Chapter 434: Bargging
For two years, the world has undergone drastic changes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
These changes permeate every aspect of the city, such as goods. A large number of desolate beast materials have been put on the shelves, and they were rare goods two years ago, and now they can be found everywhere. Goods that could be stably produced and obtained in the past are now extremely scarce. For example, the price of Hypertherm has risen dozens of times. Even with such a high price, it is still hard to find a treasure on the market.
Unprepared people break into the wilderness, experience brutal battles, and compete with wild beasts for territory. The mysterious wilderness is full of unknowns, unknown species, unknown ores. Behind the mysterious unknown, there may be endless wealth, or it may just be useless stones.
The proliferation of new materials has led to the creation of a group of appraisers who specialize in identifying unknown materials.
Most of them used to be craftsmen with a lot of experience who were proficient in various materials, and at first they made cameos to help everyone identify materials because they couldn't get enough work. And then someone saw the business opportunity and simply changed careers to become an appraiser.
The appraiser's appraisal results often determine the selling price of the goods. Therefore, appraisers attach great importance to reputation and authority, and once they smash the signboard, it is difficult to be trusted by everyone.
Qingfeng City, which has a strong commercial atmosphere, is active in a group of appraisers, the most famous and authoritative of which is the appraiser Kangding.
Kangding was not a craftsman before, but an apprentice craftsman, and he was a craftsman apprentice for fifteen years. For fifteen years, his daily work was to carry out basic and preliminary processing of various forging materials.
Although he could not be a good craftsman, his fifteen years of experience in handling materials made him unusually accurate in his judgment of the properties of materials. After transitioning to become an appraiser, he quickly became a fish in water.
Kangding's battle for fame originated from a year ago, when he judged a brand new beast bone. It was a very peculiar animal bone, full of honeycomb structure, soft in texture, and with a little force, it could be crushed to pieces.
At that time, all the appraisers except him gave the result of "inferior", which showed that it was a material that could not be used to make utensils, and its only function may be to fertilize the field, and it had no value.
The emergence of a large number of new materials has made the previous material grades no longer adaptable, and everyone is groping for new evaluation standards.
Kangding was not influenced by his peers, and his fifteen years of experience allowed him to perceive the extraordinary hidden beneath the bones of fragile beasts.
Three days later, the appraisal results he gave caused an uproar, [B-class excellent product].
When the appraisers heard the news, they were furious and denounced Kangding. Such a garbage material, but gives the result of [B-class excellent product], which must involve insider trading and covert collusion.
However, in full view of everyone, Kang Ding took out a bottle of Jin Yuan Flower Dew and poured it on a piece of animal bone. A strange scene appeared, the miserable white beast Gu stimulated a pale golden light, which was extremely dazzling.
The bones of the beast have undergone an astonishing change, the originally light and fluttering bones have become hard and resilient, the sword is difficult to hurt, and it can resonate with the wind, floating in the air like a feather.
The owner of the goods was extremely excited, and named this unseen animal bone [Kangding Feather Bone]. In the end, the twelve [Kangding Feathers] were pocketed by the city lord Qiao Meiqi at a sky-high price.
The owner of the goods took out ten times the appraisal fee to thank Kangding, but Kangding politely refused, and he just collected the appraisal fee as usual.
This event won Kangding great prestige. In other words, a slightly more greedy appraiser can buy animal bones from the owner of the goods at a very low price, and then resell them for a huge profit.
Since then, Kangding has become the most authoritative and highest-fee appraiser in the entire Clear Water City.
He built his own appraisal house, Kang's Appraisal House.
This appraisal fee is still not a problem for Ai Hui and them. They handed over the items that needed to be identified to the Kang's Appraisal House, and began to visit the market in Clear Water City.
They are curious about the city.
The population of a city smaller than Ningcheng is five times that of Ningcheng, and it is difficult to see deserted places in almost every corner of the city. This is also related to Qiao Meiqi's concept, Qingshui City does not charge entry tax.
Like Tianxin City and Xinguang City, they are rich in Yuan Power and are good places for cultivation, but not everyone can live there. Everyone has to pay taxes and fees to be able to enter the city, and only those who are elite enough can establish themselves in these big cities.
Qingshui City abolished the entry tax, attracting a large number of Yuan Xiu to come.
Qiao Meiqi knows that a sufficient population is the foundation of business prosperity. The location of Qingshui City is actually very remote, and the inherent disadvantage is very great, but under Qiao Meiqi's painstaking management, the prosperity has surpassed that of most cities.
The bazaar in Clearwater City is even more lively, noisy and noisy, almost crowded with people. Because the space is not spacious enough, many people put their goods on the ground and sell them. Most of these people are Yuan Xiu who has just returned from the wild, their prey is not much, and the value is not high, and they make a lot less money by selling them to traders, so they simply set up their own stalls when they have time.
Many people like to shop for things here, because there are many items here that have not been identified.
Not everyone can afford to pay a lot of appraisal fees.
It seems that the results of the appraisal of good things are worthless from time to time, and whenever this happens, the owner of the goods always regrets that his intestines are blue.
Whether you can find good things or not is a test of your eyesight and luck, but not everyone can be calm about the results. In Yuan Xiu, who is begging for life in the wilderness, the most important thing is blood bravery, and it is normal to draw a knife without saying a word.
However, the order of the Shimizu Bazaar is good.
On the high platform all around, heavily armed battle Yuan Xiu patrolled from time to time, and once they found troublemakers, they would fall from the sky. In the event of resistance, they have the right to kill the troublemaker.
After several successive thunder methods, the Yuan cultivators were much more honest, after all, they also understood that they were here to do business.
Ai Hui and his entourage are extremely eye-catching in the crowd.
The focus of attention is Shi Xueman, she is tall, beautiful and glamorous, and her blue and white armor is gorgeously decorated, which also reveals her perfect figure. He carried a beautiful spear on his back, and his gaze was as cold as ice.
Qingshui City is located in the depths of the wilderness, and the conditions are very difficult, and most of the Yuan cultivators who live here are rude and brave. How had they ever seen such a beautiful woman?
A strange scene happened, where Shi Xueman passed, the noisy sound was like being frozen by ice and snow.
Shi Xueman has long been accustomed to such scenes since he was a child, and the goddess of the induction field was like a cloud of admirers. She looked generous, her steps were firm, and she walked side by side with Ai Hui.
Ai Hui teased with a smile on his face: "Tsk, it's still our iron girl who is powerful, and she is more powerful than any killing move." Later, Tie Niu, you will bargain, maybe the seller will give us something directly. ”
Shi Xueman had a deep understanding of Ai Hui's faceless and skinless eyes when she saw money, but she felt that Ai Hui was reasonable, everyone is very poor now, and it is a little bit to save a little, she nodded and said seriously: "I don't know how to bargain, how to cut?" You teach me, use a sword or a knife?"
Ai Hui's footsteps faltered, whether he used a knife or a sword......
He seemed to see that Tie Niu was holding a sword on someone else's neck with a cold expression, and asked coldly: "Half price, do you want to sell it?"
The picture is too beautiful......
Ai Hui coughed lightly: "That, the professional matter will be handed over to the professional person, Bai An, it will be handed over to you." ”
Zhao Baian nodded hurriedly: "It's all handed over to his subordinates." ”
He was afraid that he would be slow to agree, and when he heard Miss Shi Xueman's words just now, his expression froze. And based on such a long time together, he knew that Miss Shi might really do this kind of thing, and it would be a big fuss.
Gradually, the market resumed its liveliness, although there were still eyes on Ai Hui and his party from time to time, but everyone was still very restrained. In the era of the collapse of order, the strength of a woman who dares to wander outside must not be weak. Besides, Shi Xueman's outfit is extraordinary, and anyone with a little eyesight knows that the origin is definitely not simple.
Look at her servants, a guard, a steward, a sand puppet.
It was the guard, who looked a little arrogant and domineering, and actually walked side by side with his master.
If Ai Hui knew that he was the guard of the iron girl in the eyes of others, he would probably be so angry.
But at this time, his attention was on the goods placed by the vendors on both sides, and he had never seen many things. Equally curious is Loulan, when he was in Matsuma Castle, he had seen almost every material, but most of the goods here were not recorded on the trees, which was really interesting.
Ai Hui and Lou Lan, almost every vendor passing by, had to squat down and take a closer look. One person and one sand puppet happily communicated.
"Loulan, do you recognize this?"
"Ai Hui, Loulan hasn't seen it. Boss, what is this?"
......
"Loulan, I feel that this thing is delicious. ”
"Ai Hui, you can't eat it, it's the poison sac of the smoke beast. ”
......
"Loulan, this mud is very sticky. ”
"Ai Hui, that's the earth element material, constantly muddy. It is a very practical earth-element material, it is very malleable, and it can draw very thin threads, which can be used to make bowstrings. ”
The boss couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this: "Brother, you sand puppet is very powerful." ”
Ai Hui proudly slapped the snake on the stick: "So the boss has a discount?"
The boss laughed: "Okay, the little brother is also a wonderful person, okay, then get a 20% discount." Whatever the little brother likes, he will be discounted. ”
Ai Hui was in good spirits.
Loulan suddenly said: "However, the boss's eight-fold discount is also more expensive than others." ”
The smile on the boss's face froze: "Don't talk nonsense. ”
Lou Lan wrenched her fingers and looked serious: "The sixth stall on the left hand of the entrance, Night Owl Ling, is forty Yuanli Beans. The boss's eight-fold is also forty-five. The ninth stall on the right hand of the entrance, the night owl Ling special, 38 yuan power bean, the feather body is stout, the feathers are fine and tough, there are no flaws, it is the top grade. The fifteenth family on the right hand ......"
The boss was stunned for a moment, and suddenly grabbed the mud on the stall and handed it to Loulan: "I'll give you for free!"
Loulan happily took the mud, the eyes on the mask were bent into two curved arcs, and she stood up and saluted very politely: "Thank you, boss!"
Seeing Ai Hui and his entourage leave, the boss was still muttering: "The sand puppet has become a fine ......" (to be continued.) )
