Chapter Fifty-Six: An Unusual Junior Brother

Instead of hugging the tall and strong old man, Hiko said to him in an apologetic tone. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Lu. Recently, I was so busy practicing with my father that I forgot the time before I knew it. If Uncle Gu hadn't come to me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come by now!"

"Then I really want to thank Gu, this bastard boy. Relying on his identity, the respected old shaman directly hung the name of the bastard boy on Gu's body. And in this regard, Gu couldn't do anything but smile bitterly. Soon, however, the old shaman ignored him and asked Hikoko with interest.

"So, you've already started practicing with your father. ”

"Of course, and about this, I have to complain to you, you should know my father's identity, why hide it from me. I'm the last one to know his identity!"

As soon as he heard the old shaman's words, Hiko immediately complained to him as if he was complaining to his elders, but this action made the old shaman laugh and replied.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This is something Mu told me not to tell you, and I can't help it. I can't beat him, can I?"

"This reason is unreasonable, Mr. Lu, you are clearly perfunctory to me. ”

"Probably. All right, little one. Now is not the time to talk about this, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Pointing to the people around him who were watching the excitement, the old shaman obviously didn't want to give Hiko a satisfactory reply. And looking at the people around him in a big circle, Hiko could only sigh and say.

"Okay, okay. But once I've got the matter out of here, you won't be able to run away. ”

"Of course, go ahead, kid. It's time for you to do what you can, don't let everyone down. He pushed him from behind, and the old shaman Lu pushed him in front of everyone. Looking at those eager eyes, Hiko could only sigh, and while taking out a notebook from the backpack on his waist, he climbed onto a pile of boxes on the side, and shouted loudly at these big men condescendingly.

"Alright, alright. I know you've been waiting for a long time. So I'll help you register your goods as soon as possible. Just like I did last year, whether you know my rules or not, listen to me now. ”

"If you are ready to sell timber, please stand in the first column on my left. According to the smoothness of the distance from me, everything is neatly arranged. Yes, that's it. Be careful, don't cut the line, or someone here will be willing to throw you out. ”

"Then there is the ore one, and the ore peddlers stand in the second column on my left, in the same column as the man just now. ”

"Fur, the first column on the right hand ......"

"Herbs and grains, second column on the right hand ......"

"Anything I didn't mention categorizing, stand in the middle. We need to hurry up, from left to right, the first person in each column will come to me in the order of registration of your goods. You'll get a copy from me of how much you've handed over and how much you're going to get in exchange. The person who got this sign will take your goods to the warehouse at the back. After the person inside has placed your goods, you ask him to put a handprint on the sign, and then you also press a handprint and go to the old shaman, Lord Lu, to hand in your signing. Remember clearly, three steps, receive the sign, deliver the handprint, and hand in the sign. Do you understand? People who don't understand ask the people around you who understand. I will reconcile your goods and requirements according to the signing, and negotiate with the merchants as much as possible. Based on the data of the previous two years, you will get what you want, and maybe even more. And when it's all over, I'll pay you what you deserve according to the bill. At the same time, the remaining excess goods will be allocated to you according to the rules, according to the part you pay more than the average. Now, the first one on the left, come to me!"

Shouting at the top of his voice, Hiko quickly got everything in order. And he followed closely and threw himself into this busy work.

It's a bit of a heavy record-keeping job, so he can't help but devote himself to it. Naturally, he didn't have the extra effort to care about the dome that followed him. Seeing that Hikoko had suddenly become so busy, Dome was very interested in not disturbing him, but came to the old shaman who was still in a quiet place.

"Lord Lu, is it?"

"Are you?" Lu, who had been staring at Yan with a smile, heard this greeting from his side, and immediately turned his head and looked at the dome who was speaking. And as soon as he saw the appearance of the firmament, he immediately smiled and said to her. "Ah, I remember you. You are the child who came with Hiko. What, do you have any questions?"

"That's right, Lord Lu. I'm Hiko's senior sister, a dome from the Heavenly Dome tribe, I want to know from you, what is Hiko's doing?"

While introducing his identity, he asked Lu very politely. Dome's words and deeds showed that she was unusual, and this immediately made the old and sophisticated Lu guess her identity.

"A while ago, the centurion from the Heavenly Dome tribe also visited me, saying that he was escorting the princess of the king of the snowy mountains to study under Mu's seat, and it seems that the person he said was you, little girl. I can't see that you still have the talent to be recognized by Mu. ”

"You're overrated, I just passed the teacher's trial by luck. ”

In the face of the old shaman's praise, the dome said modestly. After all, this shaman is one of the oldest elders in all of Arest, and even if she is a princess, she must maintain due respect for him. This made the dome come up with the best attitude. In this regard, the old shaman just shook his head and smiled.

"You don't have to be presumptuous, little princess. After all, there are not many people in this world who can make Mu nod. Since he has acknowledged you, then it is natural that you have a talent that matches his vision. That's a good thing, there's nothing to be humble about. By the way, what did you just ask me about?"

"I was just asking you, what are you doing?"

"Oh, yes. This is what you asked me about. Let me think, how shall I answer you?" Lou, who was already a long time old, explained to her, touching his shaggy and pale beard. "According to that kid Hiko, he's using statistics and classification to register the goods we are going to trade this quarter. Let all the goods be concentrated and unified in his hands. Let those foreign merchants have to negotiate with him to obtain the goods they want. Because there is only one seller, he can reverse our disadvantage in the transaction to the greatest extent. ”

"Then why does he still use such a thing as a sign? Wouldn't it be nice to just let everyone put it in the warehouse?"

Listening to the old shaman's explanation, Dome immediately questioned according to his own understanding. Hearing this question, the old shaman immediately smiled and said to her.

"Because it's hard to reconcile, little princess. If you do what you say, then everyone will not necessarily get what they want in return. You can't let them come to Kazuhiko after the deal is over and tell him what they have paid for and what they want to get. In that case, even if Yan has great ability, I'm afraid he won't be able to meet the needs of these people. ”

"So, write everything down in advance. Let everyone have a sign in their hands, know what they have paid and what they can get. This can at least satisfy their bottom line. And according to Hiko's own words, doing so will also allow him to calculate as quickly as possible how many goods he has in his hands, and how much of a role these goods can play in the negotiation. ”

It sounds like a simple thing, but for the princess who has not yet learned to manage her own tribe, or even the entire Nord, it is not simple. She could feel how much effort Yan had put into this kind of planning and arrangement. To put it mildly, he thought about almost every possible situation, and also thought of a solution corresponding to each situation. And this is exactly what she can't do for the time being.

She could understand something she needed to learn from it, and at the same time, she had more curiosity and questions about Hiko.

Such a well-planned thing, even the leaders of many large clans may not be able to do, but in his hands, it is like a superb shepherd dog watching over his livestock, everything is in order, and there is not even the slightest mess.

She could see very clearly that almost everyone here was cooperating with his command, and had solved the matter in their hands step by step according to the established steps. And even some of the minor problems were quickly solved under his arrangement and the fists of a group of Nord big men.

Originally, she thought that if she wanted to solve the problem of those bustling Nord men who almost filled the entire port, she would have to be busy for at least a few days. Because she had watched her father mobilize his clan to hunt down a certain snowy mountain troll tribe, everything would have to be fully arranged a week in advance.

But here, it was only one night, and Hiko arranged everyone properly, let them willingly send their goods into the warehouse, and then left here with a sheepskin slip and a smile. By the time he was done, the sun had not yet risen the next day.

This high efficiency made Dome feel incredible to Hiko again. Coupled with the previous things, she found more and more that she couldn't understand this junior brother a little. A child of the same age as himself can actually do this level, this is probably something that no one will believe if he hears it. But they were there, and they were right in front of her eyes.

So inevitably, the way Qiong looked at Xiang Hiko's eyes began to become weird. That kind of look, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you're looking at a monster, a dragon that has transformed into a human form. And for this kind of look, Hiko, who had been highly nervous for a night, immediately frowned and asked a little impatiently.

"Qiong, what do you mean by that look?"
