236. Bazaar
The location of the market in the city of Highlanza is not difficult to inquire, especially when the person who asks is a knight leading a horse, whether it is a commoner or a merchant, will stop what he is doing and answer him patiently, the city of Highlandsa is not very large, the market is in a small square, and the noisy block is flanked by small shops.
Leading the horse through the crowded street, Surdak was worried that his horse would kick the pedestrians who followed him, and he kept reassuring the horse all the way.
On the edge of the bazaar, Surdak found a food stall.
Lamb is cooked in a cauldron, baked wheat cakes hang on the stove next to it, and a bowl of fragrant broth with a sauce is only 15 copper plates, and the stall owner throws a piece of lamb with bones into the soup bowl and sprinkles it with a pinch of coriander.
If you need to bake the wheat cakes, you need to add two copper plates, and the boss will press a bowl-sized baked wheat cake on top of the soup bowl.
This snack is eaten a bit like a mutton steamed bun, where the cake is broken into several slices and dipped in the soup.
Surdak brought two baked wheat cakes himself, so he just asked for a bowl of mutton soup, and the stall owner asked him to tie his horse to a pillar next to him, so Surdak settled a late breakfast.
Surdak wanted to sell the salamander meat at the market, but it was so crowded that he led his horse around the market and couldn't find a place for him to set up a stall.
Coming to the area where fresh meat and fish are sold in the bazaar, Surdak saw that in addition to the stalls of beef, sheep, pork and fresh river fish, the most popular was the meat stall of the graystone iguana, a two-foot-long and ten-pound graystone iguana actually sold for about 8 silver coins.
It seems that the price of the limestone iguana in the city of Highlanza is much more expensive than that in the city of Darres.
In this way, the total value of the thirty-seven limestone iguanas caught by the Wall Village Lizard Hunting Regiment into the Paglos Mountains is probably not more than 3 gold coins.
Stopping in front of the graystone iguana's stall, the butcher in the stall is cutting off the head of the graystone iguana with a knife, and then using a boning knife to cut a hole in the white abdomen of the graystone iguana, picking out all the internal organs, pouring it into the trash can, tearing the iguana skin on the neck with his hands, and pulling hard, the whole gray thin skin is torn off, revealing the crystal clear lizard meat inside, the whole process will not take more than ten seconds.
The stall owner habitually landed on the badge on Surdak's chest at first glance, probably accustomed to seeing nobles and knights, and the stall owner asked very calmly, "Lord Knight, what do you need?" ”
"Is this salamander meat?" Surdak asked quietly.
The stall owner's expression froze slightly, worried that Surdak was coming to find fault, so he replied honestly: "I'm sorry, Lord Knight, I don't have that kind of high-end ingredients here." ”
"So where can I get it?" Surdak asked earnestly.
Seeing Surdak's sincere face, the stall owner was sure that he was not here to look for trouble, so he walked out of the stall, stood by Surdak's side enthusiastically, pointed to the road ahead, and said to Surdak: "You can try your luck at the Monster Material Shop, go out of the market and go along this road, there are many magic shops near the Junior Magic Academy of Highlanda." ”
Disgusted by the bloody smell of the stall owner, Gubolema kept shaking his head and retreated, snorting as the crowd behind him retreated.
Surdak hurriedly thanked the stall owner, and when he saw that the market was congested because of himself, he prepared to take the Guborai horse away.
A man in gorgeous clothes suddenly came up next to him, and saw that he was not wearing a noble badge on his chest, so he should not be a nobleman.
He wasn't very athletic, and he was probably not a knight.
The man said to Surdak with a kind face, "You want to buy salamander meat?" ”
Surda grabbed Guboraima and nodded.
The man looked familiar and said to Surdak: "That's a good thing, if you eat it regularly, it can increase your body's resistance to the fire element, and it can also increase your strength, but this thing is hard to buy in Hailanza, and it is estimated that the Warcraft store will not have it often, and even if there is, it will be sent to the mansions of several earls in the city." ”
Seeing that he was interested in talking, Surdak asked tentatively, "May I ask who you are?" ”
The man straightened the silk shirt on his body, had two small oily mustaches, and was full of shrewdness, and said proudly: "I am the procurement manager of Earl Christie's palace, and I usually buy all kinds of daily necessities for Lord Christie's family. ”
Originally, the man had expected that after he had said the name of Count Christie, Surdak would be able to praise him a few words.
But Surdak was obviously not good at this kind of communication, and he didn't notice the keyword 'Count Christie', only heard that he was a purchaser in a certain earl's palace, and thought that he probably knew about salamander meat, his eyes lit up, and he asked casually: "Then do you know how much salamander meat costs a pound?" Sorry, I don't know much about this......"
The man's face was a little broken, but he didn't expect Surdak not only to praise it, but to throw a question.
However, he then answered Surdak's question: "If it is fresh salamander meat, the price is about 5 silver coins, and the lizard tail is probably more expensive, but it will not exceed 7 silver coins per pound, and the big nobles who can afford to eat salamander meat in Highlandsa City are still very limited after all, and Count Christie is one of them......"
The road to the bazaar is a bit narrow, and Surdak is parked here with his horse, which has caused traffic jams.
Seeing that the people behind him were gathering more and more, Surdak planned to leave quickly, so he said 'thank you' to the man who had purchased the nobleman's house, and led the horse and walked away quickly.
As soon as the road was clear, a crowd of people rushed up and swayed the purchaser.
"Hey...... Hey, I don't know which new knight under the command of Lord Earl is gone! The man stood in the crowd, looked at Surdak and muttered helplessly, obviously very dissatisfied with him saying that he would just go.
Watching Guborima's ass disappear into the crowd of the market, he could only turn around with a stupid face.
On the contrary, the stall owner who sold limestone iguanas came up with a smile on his face and said to the man flatteringly: "Lord Hasa, today's graystone iguanas are very fat, do you want to buy two more ......?"
……
Soon after, Surdak emerged from a leather shop.
The owner of the leather shop personally sent Surdak to the door, looking at the back of Surdak leading the horse away, and still regretted: 'Such a good piece of salamander leather, this knight actually refused to sell it, just let the shop handle it on his behalf, it seems that he wants to make a set of salamander leather armor, there is no way to take this list down, there are really few knights in the city of Highlandsa who can afford to make monster leather armor......
……
The main reason for Surdak to come to this leather shop is to separate the leather and fresh meat of the salamander's tail, which was originally handed over to the village of Wall, but the old village chief kicked the ball back, and in the end Surdak still had to find a leather shop to peel off the leather on the lizard's tail.
The owner of the leather shop wanted to buy Surdak's salamander skins, but he was very stingy and refused to give Surdak a satisfactory price, so Surdak had to pay a sum of money for cooked leather and asked the shop to handle the salamander leathers on his behalf.
But he didn't plan to make another set of salamander leather armor for the time being......
