Chapter 4: The First Pot of Gold

In fact, not only in this world, but also in any feudal society, the aristocratic class is an extremely noble existence, which cannot be disobeyed by the common people, so the family emblem representing the identity and status of the nobility cannot be offended!

Not to mention the swagger and deception under the name of the noble family emblem, even the use of utensils with the noble family emblem will be crowned as offensive to the nobles and tortured, and end up in a tragic end!

However, after all, there are many poor people who dig through the garbage of the nobles' homes, and they will often find items with the emblems of the noble families, but except for the extremely ignorant young children, those who pick them up will be immediately removed, so as not to be accused of offending the nobles. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the most basic common sense in this world, and this common sense is engraved in the flesh and blood and even bones of every civilian!

But it doesn't seem to apply to Rogge, in his words:

"People who are about to starve to death, you tell me to offend the nobles?!"

And then:

"Can't nobles be disobedient? I don't think so, and I'm not stupid!"

At last:

"If you have to die, then it's death anyway, after I die, I will let him flood the sky!"

In this world, this kind of performance of Rogge is no longer bold, broken jars, and can be described, which can be said, this is simply lawless!

Therefore, under the frightened eyes of the middle-aged man, and under the assurance of Rogge's seduction and patting his chest, he agreed to what Rogge said.

However, in Rogge's opinion, middle-aged people are far more afraid of arabesques than they are reasonable!

"Little Casey, go to your house and get all the rags out of the fur, prepare a basin of hot water, and by the way, don't forget to bring some scissors. “

After instructing little Casey, whose eyes were like lights, Rogge instructed Ed to take the stall aside, and he quickly found two large furs to wrap around his body, it was too cold this day, and his body was just right, and now he was almost frozen back to his original state.

Immediately he thought of little Asuna and old man Dia, and prayed in his heart that if they persevered, he would be able to return with his bread and clothes.

Not long after, there was a running sound in the alley behind the stall, and when he turned his head to see that it was really little Casey, looking at the hopeful eyes, Rogge's heart couldn't help but warm, it may be a trivial matter for himself, but for this child, for this poor family, maybe it is something that will change their fate.

Casey was followed by a dark-faced, emaciated woman, who should be Casey's mother, who was already in her thirties, but was forced to look like this by life, and Rogge couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Brought it, brought it..."

Looking at Casey's expression of hope and eagerness, Rogge shook his head and smiled, everything was ready, Rogge didn't say much, and began to do things.

There are many ways to take care of the fur, but after all, the fur has been stored for too long and is a little worn, and it is impossible to get immediate results.

Simply take care of it with a hot water wet cloth, little Casey has done this kind of thing a long time ago, and she takes care of it very carefully, after all, if you sell a fur, you can stay at home for the winter.

And Rogge does this just to smooth the hair on the fur, for the simple reason that if you can't change the essence of a thing, start with the details.

The details are involved, but it's not just as simple as smoothing the fur, and then picking up the scissors and cutting.

"Now these furs look too shabby...", Rogge said slowly, "What if you look at this again?"

Saying that, Rogge's big scissors fell, and the already irregular fur was cut off by Rogge and turned into a standard rectangle.

"You've cut off the rotten corners, but you can't bear to cut more. Rogge slowly put the trimmed fur aside: "This is a typical saving, or taking advantage of a small advantage!"

At this time, the cut and groomed rectangular fur instantly looks neat and novel, compared with the completely irregular fur on the side.

"It's... It's as simple as that?!" The woman was amazed and held Rogge's cut fur, not only the woman, but also little Casey and Ed looked at Rogge in surprise, such a simple way to make the old leather in the house look new.

Little Casey had tears in her eyes, as if her hope had become a reality.

"It's just a simple visual error, you don't understand it, it's just the first step, you do it first. ”

Rogge shook his head secretly, the simplest things are often the most difficult, from getting rid of psychological desires to simple physiological visual use, it is obviously a very simple thing, but how much can it really do?

"Thank you, thank you!" said the woman as she cut it.

No mother would sell her child to be a servant, life is compelled and there is nothing to be done, that feeling of despair Rogge understands very well, otherwise how could he come in person after learning that there is a way to save his daughter?

But seeing this scene, he still almost shed tears, and the pain in Rogge's heart, I'm afraid no one can understand and understand.

The woman and little Casey usually do a lot of such things, and the fur cut is much stronger than Rog's, a half-hanger, and there is no more point in each part of the cut to ensure that the fur area is maximized.

In the ventilated box, the family worked hard to cut for life, and after a short time, it was completed, and when Daisy took care of the last fur very carefully, Ed carried it to the stall and placed it according to Rogge's instructions.

"Cutting is just the beginning, you can't fool the sharp-eyed, but we can make up for it!"

"This sells things, it's a lot more exquisite, it's very complicated, how do I do it, you watch and learn, how much you can learn, it's up to you!"

If what was said to Rogge at first was a simple fluke, now the family is full of hope.

In the expectant gaze of the three people, Rogge put on the biggest fur, came to the stall, took a deep breath, and shouted an unprecedented, epoch-making, and even classic sentence that changed the entire world business history:

"Clearance sale, buy two get one free, buy five get three free, the supply is limited, first come, first served!"

"You can't buy fifty copper coins, you can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled, noble lady, look at these furs, they are all newly cut, fifty copper coins also come with one, how affordable, except for this stall, you can no longer find anything else!"

"Oh~ This heroic uncle, at first glance, you are knowledgeable, just this one, the best wool in this stall, what do you give twenty-five copper coins? Don't sell, don't sell thirty-five, you don't see, how can there be such good material in the whole Dale County, what thirty, hey, look at your familiarity, you promise to come back next time, I will sell it at a loss!"

"Hey, hey, hey~~ How do you speak, what is called the rotten material of the Ed family, don't cut it and worry about you, look at the master's boots, don't they look good, do you see it, I don't say it's for fear that everyone will misunderstand, Lord Viscount, Lord Viscount is what you can comment?!"

"Now that it's all said, I think everyone has guessed the source of these materials, but we can't make trouble for Lord Viscount, isn't it, it's almost there, the last three pieces!"

Looking at the crowd of people rushing to buy, Ed and his wife Amanda felt that their entire worldview had collapsed, and the fur that was originally worth ten copper coins was sold for thirty copper coins, and thirty copper coins could not be used to buy a brand new one.

Looking at Rogge's small figure again, it gave the family a feeling of being tall, not only that, but after a closer look, every word Rogge said, even the simplest bow bow was done just right, and then the couple knew Rogge's extraordinary, and their eyes suddenly widened, for fear of missing a place.

And now little Casey is even more adoring, and the light emitted by his eyes is enough to blind everyone, and it feels like watching a god!

"Okay, okay, it's sold out, tomorrow, I'll come back, I'll bring some new models that are only available in the aristocratic circle, the price is definitely not expensive, notify relatives and friends, anyone who has bought fur here today enjoys exclusive preferential rights!"

"What is a discount? It's a discount, you don't understand the discount, hey, this is a saying that only has in the aristocracy, since you are so supportive, then I will reluctantly tell you about it..."

"This booth will carry out promotional activities from time to time, all activities, there are discounts, please help inform me, tomorrow, tomorrow this time must arrive!"

After the bulk goods were finished, Rogge completely ignored the shocked, confused, and even bloodshot eyes of all the vendors, and slowly walked towards the alley with his pouch wallet on his own, with the Caseys following closely behind.

After turning east and west, he came to an alley where no one was around, Rogge turned his head with a smile full of meaning, and said, "Uncle Eddard, how should we divide it?"

"Listen... Listen to you!"

Looking at Ed's innocent eyes that were extremely eager for the coins in his hand, Roger secretly shook his head, thinking that Ed would turn his face against him for the sake of immediate interests and snatch it, after all, he was still a child.

But it turns out that what I think is too complicated, and these people who live at the bottom of society often have extremely simple and blind goals.

As soon as these people get what they want, they will be very satisfied, some people say that this is stupid, but is it really stupid? 'Little wealth is peace' and 'contentment' is a very philosophical topic, but Rogge is too lazy to think about it, because he likes such 'stupid' people!

"Ahem~" Rogge cleared his throat and demonstrated his 'villain' heart: "Then according to what I said before!"

In a short time, the copper coins obtained from the sale of furs were scattered, and there were a full eighty-seven copper coins, which was naturally expected by Rogge.

Looking at the happy three, Rogge smiled bitterly, in fact, he was the most profitable, because these people were so 'stupid' that they couldn't calculate the cost, and their first pot of gold was indeed 'no capital and ten thousand profits'!

One gold coin in the empire is equal to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, one gold coin can allow a family like Casey to have a rich life for a year, and earning copper coins today is enough for the family to survive this cold winter.

Just as he was lamenting that he could finally buy bread to eat, he saw little Casey and the woman bowing to Rogge with a grateful look on their faces, with tears in their eyes.

"Thank you... Thank you... Thank you for saving little Casey... Thank you!"

"I saved little Casey?" Rogge wondered.

After a long time, Rogge understood the plight of little Casey's family, and he actually did little Casey a great favor in addition to self-preservation.

Rogge pondered for a long time, looking up at the restless and speechless Ed couple, who knew that they wanted to ask if they would continue to sell furs tomorrow.

"Are you coming back tomorrow?" came little Casey's timid voice.

Unable to stand the eager and expectant eyes of this little girl with some freckles on her face, but looking extremely sensible, Rogge decided to help them.

"In the future, you don't need an honorific title, just call me Rogge. Rogge was surprisingly awkward at such a title: "Madam, I am already hungry, and as for tomorrow, are you not going to ask me to go home and eat some bread, and then sit down and have a good discussion?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, what are Ed still doing in a daze?" the woman scolded Ed with excitement, "Why don't you hurry up and invite our little guest home!"

"By the way, Uncle Ed won't scold Casey in the future, this is my most basic condition!"

"Also, I have some things here for you to help buy, and to collect some furs, you don't have to go to the place just now, just go and buy some with your ordinary family, this is my money, as an investment. ”

"Investment?"

"Uh... Let's go home and eat first, and talk slowly!
