Chapter 12: Stew with Spirits

"Luo Sheng, you are so amazing! I have never seen Uncle Kidd so distressed! This time we have made a lot of money!" "Returning home from the grocery store, Fei Li looked at the various materials, equipment and instruments that had been selected on the ground for most of the morning, and remembered the old Kidd who had been crying and mourning when he said goodbye, and said to Luo Sheng with excitement on his face.

Although relying on the excellent strength of Daddy York, Fili has never lacked money to spend since she was a child, but it is the first time she has seen a transaction at the level of thousands of gold coins. In fact, if you don't count the second-order Wind Bow in Old York's hand, all the belongings of the Rason family are only one or two thousand gold coins. Otherwise, in her previous life, Fei Li would not have sold most of her belongings when the Bow of the Wind was damaged, and signed a 'deed of sale' for a few years to gather the two thousand gold coins needed to treat Luo Sheng. It can be said that Luo Sheng's business earned more money than the previous family's belongings, and it is no wonder that Fei Li is so excited.

"Cut! so naïve! You've been deceived by the old guy. Don't look at how reluctant the old guy is, in fact, he made at least a thousand gold in this business. He put on that expression, and he showed it to us. Luo Sheng shook his head, glanced at Fei Li with a very 'contempt' gaze, and then said very 'pretending to be X'.

As an expert with a valuation skill of up to 140 points, Rason has a precise judgment on the value of the items traded. Although he said that he was aggressive, he actually left a lot of profit margins for the old Kidd. Even if you don't count the recasting costs that can be saved by relying on your connections and qualifications, Old Kidd can earn hundreds of gold scales just by spending three thousand gold scales. Otherwise, with the greedy character of old Kidd, the deal would not have been so easy to conclude.

However, for Luo Sheng, this deal is not a loss. Although the income from gold coins was a little less, Luo Sheng got a lot of good things from Old Kidd's private collection. These equipment and materials are what Luo Sheng urgently needs to improve his strength, and in Cook Ling, except for Old Kidd, who can get it here, money may not be able to buy it anywhere else. In the opinion of Luo Sheng, who will definitely not be short of money in the future, it is still very cost-effective to exchange some gold coins for the accelerated improvement of strength, and by the way, to return a little favor to Lao De, who will definitely not be short of money in the future.

"What? He made us a thousand gold! No, I'm going to find this old fellow!" Hearing the number from Luo Sheng's mouth, Fei Li ignored Luo Sheng's disdainful gaze, but immediately jumped up like a fried hair, turned around and wanted to rush back to the grocery store. As a 'housewife' who was in charge of a family's life before the age of ten, Fili was very sensitive to money. If she was made a small profit, Fili would put up with it, but the figure of 1,000 gold coins was too amazing, and Fili couldn't accept it.

"Don't! Don't! It's a lot of money, but it's all a normal profit from the magic equipment trade. With such a big deal, you have to be made so much money wherever you go. After discovering that Fei Li's focus was not on the joke she was making, but on the thousand gold coins, Luo Sheng hurriedly pulled the person back.

Decades of 'separation' still made Luo Sheng's judgment slightly deviate. In his memory, Fili was the best side, and Luo Sheng subconsciously forgot that as a 'housekeeper', Fili was particularly paranoid about money. even ignores the fact that for Fei Li, who has not yet experienced a big scene, what a huge number of one thousand gold scales is. As a result, the joke didn't work out, but it almost made a mess.

"Hmph, these vampires!" Listening to Luo Sheng's explanation, Fili calmed down, but still said angrily. Compared to mercenaries who need to work to the death, these merchants who are responsible for handling loot and selling supplies can make a lot of profits without taking too many risks. If you can meet a few people who don't know how to do it and pick up two leaks, the benefits are even more amazing. Like today's staff, if it weren't for Luo Sheng's insight, the big head would have been taken away by Old Kidd.

"By the way, you seem to despise me just now? and call me 'naïve'? What? Just advanced, do you want to rebel?" After venting her dissatisfaction with old Kidd, Fei Li turned her head and asked Luo Sheng in a 'gloomy' manner, her white little teeth kept grinding, and she looked like she was about to 'choose someone to eat'.

"Don't dare, don't dare! Fei Li, you are so wise and powerful, how dare I underestimate you? I must have been 'misheard' just now!" Luo Sheng hurriedly put on a 'soft' posture and said very 'flattering'.

"That's pretty much it. By the way, according to the rules, this staff is the trophy of our whole family, and there should be my share in it, how much are you going to share with me?" Seeing that Luo Sheng was soft, Fei Li didn't care about herself, after all, Luo Sheng had just used his knowledge to add a few thousand gold to the family's wealth, and it should be a little 'tolerant'. As the 'big housekeeper' in the family, what Fei Li really cares about now is how this money will be distributed. After all, according to Daddy, the Coral Staff is Luo Sheng's trophy, even if he has credit, but how to dispose of the money and equipment is up to Luo Sheng.

"Well, the Ring of Power is for you. Your current archery skills and agility are very good, but your strength is still a little lacking. The Ring of Power only increases your strength a little, but it's enough to increase your lethality to a notch. Luo Sheng explained very carefully: "As for the gold coins, I will send five hundred gold to Uncle Bard first, and I will keep one hundred gold for pocket use, and the rest will be handed over to you." The thousand gold that old Kidd has not paid is also yours. ”

For the current Luo Sheng, the most important thing is to improve his strength, that is, to obtain these materials on the ground and the equipment that has not yet arrived. As for money, Luo Sheng didn't care too much. And after his strength was improved, Luo Sheng had many ways to obtain money, and he didn't care about that.

And as Fili said, Rasheng was able to get the ownership of this staff because Daddy York and Fili gave up the right to distribute the spoils of war in exchange, and maybe there was a favor from Old Bard. Otherwise, just relying on the credit of Luo Sheng's sneak attack, he would not be able to get the most valuable trophy like the Coral Staff. Therefore, these factors must be taken into account when allocating gold coins.

"Even if you have a conscience, you can still think of me. Five hundred gold is a lot! Well, forget it, I'll send it to Uncle Old Bard in the afternoon. Fili hesitated, but finally nodded cheerfully. Although she is a little 'greedy for money', Fili is not unreasonable. On the contrary, Fili is very knowledgeable and decisive in key matters.

In the Battle of Crystal Lake, because of the late arrival of the White Feather Mercenary Regiment, only the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment and Alyssa's personal guard had the right to share the spoils. Although Luo Sheng's family participated in the war as individuals, they were also affiliated with the name of the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, and according to the rules, they did not have the priority to select the loot, and when they got the loot, they would also give the mercenary group one-tenth of the commission. It's just that Old York and Old Bard have a very good relationship, and the Cold Light Prophet died under the joint efforts of Rasen's father and son, and the others did not interfere. Coupled with Luo Sheng's credit for controlling the Blood Soul Algae and saving many captives, Luo Sheng took the Coral Staff to get everyone's acquiescence.

But human favor is human favor, and rules are rules. Luo Sheng took the staff and used it himself, and no one would say anything. But after the staff is sold, it will not be divided into the mercenary group, and Old Bard may not care too much about it for the sake of friendship with Old York, but in the rescue operation, the members who are under the most pressure will inevitably be a little dissatisfied. If this money affects the relationship between the Luo Sheng family and the Iron Shield Mercenary Group, it will be worth the loss.

As for Daddy York's side, the two didn't think to ask at all. On the one hand, because since the age of twelve or thirteen, Father York has delegated most of the power in the family and consciously cultivated the ability of the two to deal with things. Like this time, he handed over the Coral Staff directly to Luo Sheng to deal with, and he also had the same thought. On the other hand, the two of them also followed the usual style of Daddy York, and even if they questioned him, the result was almost the same.

"I don't think I'll send it in the afternoon. Daddy didn't come back at noon, so we just took the money and went to the 'Liquor Stew' to find Uncle Old Bud, where they should celebrate. We were also able to eat grilled pork chops, meatballs and stewed broth made by Aunt Kate. Luo Sheng proposed with an expectant face.

Because of Daddy York's poor cooking, before Filly and Rawson grew up, the Rawson family's diet was mostly settled in the 'Spirits Stew', the largest tavern in Cook Town, and the owner Boris's grilled pork chops, the hostess Kate's meatballs and stewed broth have also become one of the most familiar flavors in Rawson and Fili's childhood memories. Although after decades of training, Luo Sheng's cooking skills have long been different from what they used to be, and he can make countless delicious dishes, but the thought of these familiar flavors still makes me want to drool.

"Okay. This time it was indeed a bumper harvest, so it's good to celebrate by the way!" Fili almost didn't hesitate and directly agreed to Luo Sheng's proposal. Although there is no 'nostalgia' of Rason, Fei Li also yearns for Aunt Kate's craftsmanship. On weekdays, you may have to think about the price, but today you have made a windfall, and this concern does not exist.

"No problem!" The two hit it off quickly packed up their purchases, and then began to divide the 1,000 gold scales that Old Kidd had paid. As the most widely circulated currency on the continent, the shape of the gold scale has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, with a round coin with a golden scale representing fair trade on one side, the emblem of the goddess of wealth, and a temple of the gods representing the agreement of the gods on the other.

Compared to other miscellaneous privately minted gold coins, the gold scale is extremely well-made because it is minted using special spells. Although each coin is not large, less than three centimeters in diameter and less than two centimeters thick, the pattern on both sides is very clear and delicate, and the weight of each gold coin is all the same, all ten grams. A thousand gold coins add up, and it's only ten kilograms. For professionals like Rasson and Filip, it wasn't too difficult to carry.

Armed with five hundred gold coins in sheepskin bags, Rawson and Fili walked a few hundred meters to the 'Spirits Stew' on the east side of the town. It's not yet noon, and the tavern is already bustling. The mercenaries who occupied most of the tavern were talking excitedly about yesterday's battle, while Old Bard, who Luo Sheng and Fili were looking for, was sitting at the head of a long table near the counter, holding a large oak wine glass, gulping down his 'aperitif', and several cadres of the Iron Shield Mercenary Regiment were sitting down, discussing something.

"Rasson, Fili, come and sit here!" Raising his eyes to see Rasheng and Fili, Old Bard put down his wine glass and waved excitedly.
