Chapter 181: Sucrose Alice (2)
With short silver-gray wavy hair and a proud and arrogant expression, the gorgeous aristocratic dress up girl reminded Alice of the sky-high price of a thousand gold coins.
I remember that once upon a time, my sisters seemed to mention that the GDP of Silia was only about thirty imperial gold coins. In other words, 1,000 gold coins are equivalent to the gross production value of the agricultural town of Silia for more than 30 years...... In short, for eight-year-old Alice, this is an unimaginable amount of money.
Of course, Alice made a fuss because she didn't know that her sister Sophia had completed transactions up to five times the amount in the underground black market of [Enoses].
To be honest, such a staggering amount of money is unbelievable from the little girl who seems to be only ten years old in front of her, and there is no other way to explain it than to think that she is messing around.
After all, when the 'teenager' in his previous life was in elementary school, he also heard his classmates brag that "his father can earn a million a day", or "there is a big tiger in the hall of his house" and other outrageous lies that are completely out of common sense.
So usually at such times, as long as you make use of the experience of dealing with relatives and bear children during the holidays, there is no need to take this seriously, and there is no need to compare it with children, just smile and stroke her head, and say, "Ahh
Although this 'little sister' looks two or three years older than Alice.
"Wait, wait, I'll give you 1,100 gold coins!"
Unexpectedly, the man from the Chamber of Commerce who originally bid for the price of 'one gold coin' cabbage (of course, cabbage can't be sold for one gold coin) actually spoke quickly before Alice made a move, and raised the price explosively, which surprised Alice. Because the little girl may be joking, but the businessmen of the Chamber of Commerce know the truth of a promise, and will never stand in front of the counter and talk nonsense in such an anxious tone.
The abrupt unfolding made even Alice, who had no business experience, understand—that is...... This bag of white sugar, which can be seen everywhere in the supermarket, should have been a sky-high price of 1,000 gold coins. Oh, no, the man in front of him is a buyer of the Chamber of Commerce, and it is absolutely impossible to buy it at the retail price, which means that the market price of white sugar will definitely be higher.
What's more, in the Empire, without laws and regulations that limit the price of goods, it is simply impossible to imagine what kind of price this thing can be sold at the end.
"One, one thousand two hundred gold coins!!"
Just when Alice, the dirt bun, was stunned by the sudden huge amount of money and put on a bewildered face, the price was raised by the little girl again, only to see her squeezing her eyebrows, and her serious appearance of not retreating made her curly hair beat up and down like a spring, making the already delicate facial features look even more cute.
"Huh...... I said, Miss Athea, are you sure you can get so many gold coins? Everyone in the city knows the situation of the Lord's Mansion, so please don't make some risky investments without taking your own strength, I believe you don't want Ling Zun to be deprived of his territory and title because he owes a huge amount of money, right?"
The merchant did not choose to continue to follow the price, but showed a sinister sneer, and launched a mockery and threat against the young girl without the grace of an adult.
"Hmph, the situation in Miss Ben's house doesn't bother you guys like you to be pretty! Even if I don't taste the taste, I know that this is a 'honey essence' of purity that has never been seen before, and you actually see that the other party is a child, so you quote the price of 'a gold coin', scum! It's a shame for a businessman......!"
On the other hand, the aristocratic girl named Ethya is merciless. Although it is not a 'sense of justice', she seems to have an unusual reserve for her work ethic as a 'businessman'.
However, her choice of words is inevitably too arrogant, she is simply a textbook tsundere lady, so that Alice does not feel like a businessman in any way.
After all, Alice's impression of a businessman is still stuck in the concept of an insurance company or a real estate salesman...... Ah, by the way, there are also hardware merchants in the computer city. Although she also knew that everyone's life was not easy, no matter what, she couldn't have a good impression of the attitude that was disgusting with smiling faces......
Pulling away, he continued to turn his gaze back to the bidding battle between the aristocratic girl Aicia and the men of the Chamber of Commerce. I have to say that the man in the Chamber of Commerce is a businessman and not a gangster after all, and he is much more experienced than the young Aicia, and he will not be confused by these straightforward provocations.
"Well, the eldest lady's criticism is extreme, so accept it with an open mind. So, in order to show sincerity and apology, and to make Miss Athea completely die, this bag of 'honey essence' that I have never seen before is purchased by my trading house for fifteen hundred imperial gold coins, how about it? If you still want to increase the price, please do it yourself! But I believe you also understand the rules for buying spices, right? Everyone is a cash transaction, because food does not know how long it can be stored without spoiling......
The men of the Chamber of Commerce turned their gaze to Alice as they said their last words. Alice couldn't help but shake her head, and secretly shouted in her heart - routines, urban routines are so deep...... I want to go back to the countryside.
In fact, until this point, Alice was not sure what the price of this bag of white sugar was worth, but she was getting more and more confused. Knowing this, she should have done her homework first and asked the grandfather of the local Chamber of Commerce in Silia to inquire first...... Although the old man was drunk all day long and did not do his job, he did not feel like he was running a business chamber at all. But it may also be because of this that Alize's various earth-shattering inventions have been hidden in the snow in a small farm town until today.
"Goo ——!!"
In short, it seems that the counterattack of the chamber of commerce man has succeeded in poking the opponent's sore spot, and the little girl named Ecia has finally completely extinguished the fire, and she puffs out her cheeks as if she will cry at any moment.
Watching the play from the sidelines, Alice felt that it was almost time to do something, and with a strong force, she re-tied the mouth of the sugar bag with a rope and pulled the bag off the counter.
Alice's actions seemed to be unexpected by the men of the Chamber of Commerce, and he panicked uncharacteristically, and loudly stopped-
"What are you doing!? This association has already made a quotation, you probably don't know the rules here, after the quotation, the goods are already ours!
Hearing this, Alice frowned. It seems that the other party is completely bullying herself as a girl who doesn't know the world, although it is true that she doesn't know the world, just now, she almost sold the sky-high sugar in her hand at a thousandth price, but now that she knows the market, Alice is not a fool, she can't help but complain-
"Hey, this uncle, what kind of robber logic do you have? According to what you said, if I hook up with a girl on the road and ask her if she is married, do I still have to take responsibility for marrying the other party into the house?"
"Then, then you say! How much is this bag of 'honey essence' before you are willing to sell? If you are not satisfied with the price, you can sit down and discuss in detail!"
"Then 10,000 Imperial Gold Coins~~"
"What——!? you, you're teasing me!?"
Alice's lion opened her mouth widely, successfully angering the undisciplined vendor, and when she saw the other man's angry appearance, she finally felt a bad breath. Then, Alice shoved the sugar bag into Athea's arms.
"Eh, what are you doing, Miss Ben can't afford to pay 10,000 gold coins...... Besides, your asking price is too nonsense! No matter how high the quality of this bag of honey is, no matter how high the price is, it can only be sold for 6,000 gold coins at most?"
"No, no, you misunderstood the little girl. ”
In the face of the other party's honest answer, Alice showed a hearty smile like a spring breeze, not to mention the little John on the side, it was an intoxicating smile that even the sexual Aceia couldn't help but blush, "This bag of candy is given to you~!"
"What, what~! This kind of attitude! You, aren't you a little girl yourself? And I'm not an ordinary little girl! I'm the lord of this [Eitania] city, Trasom?? The eldest daughter of Count Maya!Athea?? Mya!...... Eh, what did you just say!......? Give me this?"
- Hahaha, the priority of complaining and arrogantly introducing oneself is higher than the reflex arc, and it's really a textbook-like aristocratic lady, completely different from a country girl like me~
Alice chuckled inwardly as she nodded her little head vigorously, "Hmm! ”
"This, such a high-priced thing, you, what are your intentions!?"
Rather than expressing gratitude bluntly, he chose to doubt the other party's motives first, and at this point, he finally seemed to be a qualified businessman, but at the same time, Athea held the sugar bag tightly in her arms, and her little face was flushed with excitement, and she couldn't hide the excitement in her heart at all.
Of course, in Alice's eyes, this is also a cute performance in line with her age, if she looks hidden at such a young age, then Alice will suspect that the other party is a time-traveler like herself.
"No, no~~Ah, no...... If there is an attempt, there is actually only one. ”
Halfway through speaking, Alice suddenly thought of something and smacked her palm with her fist.
"What......?"
"Be friends with me, Aicia~!"
As soon as the words fell, Alice used her world-beating skills, and successfully captured Athea's arm with a super-high-speed action that the other party couldn't realize at all, and put it into her arms, and rubbed her cheek against the side of the opponent's neck back and forth. Suddenly, a just right amount of elegant perfume smell penetrated into his nostrils.
"Eh, eh~~!?friend!?for, why!?"
"Because Ethya is cute, super cute, cuteness is justice! I'm a man who even goes out of the world to seek justice...... Ah no, it's Lori now......"
"Huh...... I'm cute...... I don't understand what you're talking about! And let go of Miss Ben quickly! Why does Miss Ben have to be friends with a wild girl like you! Hmph!"
"Hahaha! I can't stand it! I'm so cute when I'm proud! I said, how much favorability does it take to make you 'delicate'?"
The words that came out of it had completely become a perverted uncle, and Alice probably couldn't remember why she came to this city.
Even if Alice didn't use much strength, it was enough to perfectly clamp the main joints and acupoints of the opponent's body. For Athea, who had no experience in martial arts, she certainly couldn't break free from Alice's clever embrace that combined the principles of grappling, and the two bodies were close together.
Little John showed a little envy and even a little jealousy of this scene that exuded a faint fragrance of lilies, and Ratchey kept a quiet smile from beginning to end. No one noticed that in front of the counter of the Chamber of Commerce, the profiteer, who had been forgotten on the side, put on a sinister look at this time, and shouted in a voice that was so angry that it almost exploded—
"Stinky, stinky girls, ......! Tease this chamber of commerce has to pay the price! Little ones! Take down these two troublesome girls to Lao Tzu!"
