Chapter 128: Return
After a night's stop in White City, Alan urged Buck to be on his way back again.
Alan was not much disappointed that Alec was not found, after all, there had been speculation.
However, this disappointment was quickly washed away by the feeling of going home.
If you can't find it, you can't find it, but it must be someone who has been wrecked, and it's unlikely that it will cause much trouble.
After a period of travel, Alan and Buck finally set foot on their way to the Ellands.
"Buck, we're going home!" Alan said to Buck, who was also excited.
"Yes, my lord, we're back!"
Unconsciously, both of them looked in the direction of the Elling.
However, Alan looked at the sky, it was already a little late, so Alan said, "Let's rest first, tomorrow is in a hurry." ”
In fact, if they were in a hurry at night, the two of them would almost be able to return to the Elling in one night, but it was just that kind of extremely fast driving.
After thinking about it, Alan and Buck found a place to light a fire and prepared to rest for the night before setting off.
After a night of silence, he went out with Buck to hunt a rabbit-like creature, opened the meat, and the two did not speak again, and fell asleep on the blanket that had been prepared.
The next morning, the sound of birds woke Allen, who was confused for a while, looked around and found that Buck had woken up and was nowhere to be found.
Alan wasn't surprised, he knew what Buck was going for, so he didn't worry too much.
Just as Alan was thinking, he heard footsteps approaching, followed by Barker's voice.
"Your Excellency, you're awake!" Buck's honest voice rang out, and he continued, "Come, my lord, this is the water I fetched from the woods, it's quite sweet!"
Alan took the kettle that Buck handed him and gulped it down.
When the two were ready, they mounted their horses and continued their journey, hoping to return to the Ellands before dark.
There were no incidents along the way, except for a few caravans, but Alan and Buck quickly left the caravan behind.
Allen's mind was attracted, you know, this road is a relatively remote road, and it only leads to Elling and Harbor City, but I didn't expect there to be merchants passing by.
However, Alan can be sure that these caravans should go to Harbor City, after all, there are only a handful of caravans he has seen in El Collar over the years.
"Phew!" Thinking of this, Alan tightened the reins and slowed down.
Suddenly, Buck, who was following next to him, also quickly slowed down, and heard Allen's question.
"Buck?" Alan thought and asked Buck, "But there were a lot of caravans in Port City before?"
Buck was suddenly confused by Allen's question, and then reacted: "Yes, every time at this time, there are many caravans going to Kegang City, and this time is often the time when we live the most, and we have to maintain order everywhere. ”
Alan didn't care about Buck's pouring bitter water, but just smiled softly and said again: "What kind of business are those caravans doing when they go to Kegang City?"
Listening to Allen's question, Buck first scratched his head and said, "I don't know very well!" When he saw Allen's increasingly bad glasses, Buck hurriedly said: "I remember that there must be one, that is, to come to pull seafood!"
"Seafood?" Alan muttered softly.
"Yes, it's seafood, but every time this time in the port city, there will be a lot of fleets going to sea, fishing and fishing, bringing it back and drying it, which can be stored for a long time, and it also smells of salt, so many caravans come back to pull away some sun-dried seafood. ”
"That's it!" Alan suddenly realized, if he thought in his heart, wouldn't it be a salted fish!
It turned out to be a salted fish deal, and Alan thought it was!
"By the way, there are also some white beads, which are worth a lot of money. Buck continued.
"White beads?" Alan looked at Buck suspiciously, "What's that!"
Buck looked at Alan in surprise, "Don't you know, my lord?"
Alan pretended to be angry and waited for Buck, "Just ask you to explain, where is so much nonsense!"
"Uh, yes, sir. Buck shrank his head and hurriedly explained to Allen, "This white bead was taken out of the stomach of a creature with a very hard shell in the sea. ”
"Oh, isn't that a pearl!" Alan listened to Barker's explanation, and immediately understood what that white bead was, wasn't it a pearl!
"Pearl?" Buck looked at Alan with a puzzled expression, "My lord, what's that?"
"It's okay, it's okay, you continue!" Alan waved his hand, but he didn't expect to accidentally shout out the name of his previous life.
"My lord, don't you know how valuable that white bead is, especially the one that is bigger and rounder, the more valuable it is, I have heard of it before......"
Ignoring the story that Buck told later, it was nothing more than the story of the lucky man who caught a pearl and made a fortune at once.
At this time, Alan thought that something like pearls seems to be artificially cultivated!
Thinking about the profits, Allen's eyes are about to turn into gold coins, huge profits!
Although he has become a nobleman this time, who will have trouble with money, not to mention, the development of the territory always needs to be measured, and now it is necessary to lay a good foundation quickly.
Well, that's it, I'll arrange it after I go, this is a big business, this era is not like the previous life, there are a lot of artificially bred pearls, here are rare pearls, and only rely on a treasure of nature!
Thinking of a way to make a fortune, Alan became more enthusiastic and excited about returning to the territory.
He shouted at Buck, who was chattering, "Let's go, speed up, and get back before it gets dark!"
"Ahh
For a moment, the entire valley was filled with the sound of horses' hooves.
After passing through the pearl's thoughts, Allen's mind suddenly opened, what else is in the sea, and what can make money, is still an indispensable thing for human beings, that is-salt.
Drying sea salt, this technology may be studied by other traversers, he doesn't need it, he has an excellent memory, but he has personally visited the modern way of drying sea salt, purifying, that's not a thing.
Salt sellers, tsk, low cost, almost no capital to trade, more profits, thinking of these, Alan even increased the wave of the horsewhip in his hand.
Finally, after a day of running at high speed, the two of them were finally able to see some of the silhouettes of the Elling, except for a lunch break.
"It's back!" Alan exclaimed excitedly, this is his home, and there are a lot of lovely people waiting for him to return!
