Chapter 52: Dwarf Bruno
Each membership was exchanged for five gold coins, and as a conscientious businessman, Galen felt that he had to embody the compulsion he deserved, so that the members who supported his business felt psychologically balanced. As a result www.biquge.info he decided to entrust one of the most famous metal processing companies in the Baslo region, the Black Gold Minerals and Derivatives Specialty Store, to help him process the cards.
"Young Master Mage, what do you care about?" As soon as Galen entered his shop, a young man who was not tall and looked quite muscular greeted him.
"I need to process something and want to see what you have to offer. Because of the school uniform, Galen has been mistaken for a mage countless times, and he doesn't bother to explain this, just like no female civil servant would refuse to be called her director because her membrane is gone. So he didn't give any explanation, and directly stated the purpose of the trip.
"The labor cost of our designated processing service is very expensive, it is better to look at the goods here, the variety is also very complete, if there is just a suitable one, won't it save a lot of extra labor costs?" The young man was happy when he heard Galen's words, but he quickly suppressed the surprise in his heart, and continued to make his own introduction according to the routine.
"It's because of the high price and good quality of your black gold mining that I came here. As he spoke, Galen pulled out a large money bag full of coins from the maelstrom of his satchel with both hands, and with a slight movement, it made a crisp sound.
It turned out to be a fat sheep, and the boy was overjoyed when he looked at the big bag of coins, and when he saw that Galen's two little arms seemed to be about to be unable to grasp, he hurriedly reached out to help, and at last he was doing blacksmith work in the shop, and his arms were very strong, so he caught the pocket.
After gently placing the pocket on the ground, the boy carefully opened the seal that was tightly tied by the leather rope, for fear that if he was not careful, the coins inside would grow wings and fly away. But when you look at it...... It's all the kind of fuchsia that doesn't shine, and these are not gold coins, but the most worthless copper!
Accustomed to working on metal, the boy is also experienced, if his pocket is full of copper, then it is only a few dozen silver coins, which is a little pitiful.
"This young master, what are you going to do with this money?" The young man obviously didn't know how to deal with it, since he became a school apprentice, he hadn't met anyone who came to the door with a copper to entertain people, so he had to cautiously ask Galen's purpose, the master often taught him to be kind and wealthy, not to quarrel with guests, and it was for this reason that the master never went to the front of the counter to hang around, and guarded the iron-making furnace and iron-striking anvil all day long.
"This is not a deposit, this is the raw material!" Galen immediately shook his head when he heard the other party's teenager ask him this.
Using money as raw materials? This seems to be a violation of the financial management regulations of the empire, right? Hearing Galen's words, the young man's eyelids jumped suddenly.
The copper of the empire was of good quality, and the copper content was quite high, even higher than the value of the raw material of the currency itself and higher than the face value! Therefore, most of the metal merchants did not buy ore, but threw the copper into the furnace and remelted it, separating a small amount of impurities such as lead and tin in it, and recovering the pure copper for arbitrage.
This is an activity strictly forbidden by the Ministry of Economy of the Reich, but the profits are there, and who will resist doing it? This kind of life is not honorable, everyone is secretly engaged in it behind closed doors, and it is a bit strange and excessive to find a store to do this business with such fanfare as Galen.
"Young master, the copper refined here is only thirty silver coins, but the handicraft fee in our store is from one gold coin......" This kind of madman was ignored, so the young man decided to take Galen away, but it was just to take it away.
"What do I want copper? I want your black gold craftsmanship!" Galen said nonchalantly, took out two gold coins and threw them in the money bag, and said with a rather imposing attitude, "I need to make these copper cards into pure copper, the size is six by nine centimeters, the thickness cannot be less than three millimeters, the front is marked with my stamp and a number, and some words must be written on the back!"
Seeing that Galen was not going to do anything about the business of the traitor department, the young man also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as these copper materials did not enter the circulation field in the form of copper ingots, then they would not be the target of the heavy blow of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Galen just wanted to use this big pocket of copper as a raw material to make a batch of membership cards, and the reason why copper coins were used as raw materials was just to use it as a gimmick in the later membership card distribution promotion, to really distinguish members from ordinary consumers.
"In that case, there is no problem, but the handmade products must be nodded by my master before they can be taken, so please wait a while. After arranging a seat for Galen, the young man rushed to the workshop at the back of the shop, although this business was not big, it was not a category that he could call the shots, and he had to be the boss's master.
"Who the hell is going to interrupt my work! Damn! I wonder if the dwarves can't be disturbed when they're striking iron?" After a while, a violent voice came from the inner room of the shop, followed by a rumbling sound from the red pine floor, and a figure about 1.3 to 1.4 meters tall burst out.
The owner of the figure is extremely strong, about one meter four tall, it seems that the waist circumference is about this number, but there is no trace of fat on the body, the arm is as thick as Galen's thighs, the right hand is holding a huge forging hammer with a hammer head, and the left hand is holding a huge wine glass, a thick beard hangs from the mouth to the waist, and the whole mouth is tightly blocked.
Galen was stunned by this image, it had been several years since he arrived in this world, and this was the first time he had seen the true legendary race - the dwarves.
"Hey, boy, my apprentice Little Will said you want to make custom crafts, is that so?" the dwarf spoke in a very unceremonious tone, and as the voice of the question fell, he raised his glass and took a long sip of beer.
"Hey, Uncle Dwarf, I'm here to do business, can't we have a good chat?" Galen was a little unhappy in his heart, when he used to watch movies, he also knew that dwarves were a group of irritable and arrogant humanoid creatures, but he knew in his heart that there were two different feelings from his own experience.
"Boy, the dwarves don't care about money! I don't want to laugh at you if you disturb Bruno's work!" the dwarf grunted and drank his beer dry, and then walked towards the back of the shop. "If you don't like it, go somewhere else!"
Little Face thanks everyone for your reward and support, the real job is only enough to make ends meet and the mortgage, so in fact, Little Face is looking forward to the novel to alleviate his financial embarrassment, but this is not my real goal, I am more looking forward to being able to write a story that I am working hard about, maybe I am just an ordinary person in this life, I can't get rid of the pressure on my body, but I must do something I want to do, this is not to prove anything to others, but it seems to make my life not so boring and empty.
