Chapter Twenty-Eight: Staying in the Dead of Night
"How's it going?"
"Woo... Well... Well..."
Looking at Offman stuffing a large cake into his mouth, Rogge couldn't stand it anymore: "I've eaten more than thirty fucking sheets, you starved to death in your last life! Hey, hey, water, water, give him water, don't choke to death if you don't die..."
As soon as I turned my head, I saw that Roque and the others were struggling to pour the kettle into their mouths, and they continued to stuff flatbread into their mouths while pouring it back, and the scene was alive and clear of a group of reincarnated starving ghosts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
At this time, Ed dragged a freshly baked flatbread and walked in with his hands, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Rogge's expression of looking at a pig.
"Put it there, and eat it later..."Before he finished speaking, he saw Ed kicking the cake directly into his arms, and looked at Offman and the others vigilantly, no way, who let this goods can't rob others, and the cakes in their hands have been robbed three times!
I don't know why Ed didn't feel hot about the freshly baked cake, and in desperation, Rogge could only roll his eyes and wait for the group to finish eating.
"A bunch of things that have never seen the world, hold you to death!" said with secret contempt.
After a long time, everyone covered their stomachs and burped, looking comfortable, Rogge saw this, packed up his mood and said: "All are full?!
"Both... It's all done!" Offman was a little embarrassed, smiled brightly, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said, "It's all on this..."
I took the paper, looked at it carefully for a long time and realized that this was a map, I really didn't dare to compliment the painting style, it was simply a masterpiece of abstraction, and threw it back: "You better look at the map yourself, how many people have you found?"
"There are more than a hundred, all of them are like Firona, they have a big enmity with those beasts, in fact, there are more to be found, but according to what you say, they don't dare to show off..."
"Well, you can't make a statement, let them get the news and work in vain..."Rogge nodded, looked at Roque, and asked, "How are you doing over there?"
Roque went out early in the morning, and after the propaganda was done, he was sent out by Rogge to run errands, and he didn't come back until now, and after Rogge asked, he saw Roque go out of the door, beckoning to the yard, and three children with flatbread in their hands ran over.
The three of them were fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Roque, but they were obviously much thinner, and the warm clothes on their bodies were thought to be put on by Roque, pointing to the three of them, Roque said: "They are all good with me, and they are willing to do it with us..."
As he spoke, Roque also took out a piece of paper, handed it over, and said, "The places are all marked, and I have found some people to keep an eye on, those guys will definitely go back at night!"
"Well, that's good!" Looking at the map depicted on the paper, despite Roque's honest appearance, he was careful, bold, and quite assertive, and a single map was much better than Offman's abstract drawing.
'It's worth cultivating' nodded secretly in his heart, Rogge raised his head and said, "Tonight, call the Venerable Master, gather at the gate of the west of the city!"
"Yes!"
After everyone walked out, Ed stood up and handed over a few house deeds: "I only accepted five shops today, and three of them asked for too high prices, waiting for your idea..."
"Too high?" Rogge frowned as he took the deed and asked, "How much?"
"A family costs 900 gold, a family costs 1,100 gold, and another family costs 1,500 gold. Ed said.
"Crazy!?" After hearing the price, Rogge was stunned, he didn't have high requirements for the location of the store, and the person who came back at noon had already reported the information of the store to him in detail.
Although Dale County has a large population base, the incomes of different groups of people vary greatly, and there are places such as stall markets, except for the old shops in the wealthy areas, the general shops are just decorations.
According to Rogge's calculations, a decent shop is enough for about 500 gold, but what is the matter with this almost double the price?
"Actually, it's not just these three..."At this time, Ed looked at Rogge suspiciously and said: "The other shops asked by the people below either don't sell them, or the prices are not much different from these three..."
"Oh?" Hearing this, Rogge tapped his finger on the table, and secretly thought: Luo Ji just started to buy the store, and the store either didn't sell or increased in price, if it was to see Luo Ji make a lot of money and make a profit, it would be impossible to rise so high......
"Okay, I'm not looking for you, you're thinking about me, don't blame me for being unjust if you're unkind!" After thinking about it, Rogge had a plan, stood up, and said to Ed: "Tomorrow morning, Luo Ji's stall will be set up, and if you don't go anywhere, you will open it in front of other fur shops!"
"It's... This..."
"What is this?!Think it's shameless? Do you remember, peers are always enemies, do you think that for no reason, those stores will increase the price like this? It's not those peers who are playing tricks, hum, these guys who are rich and unkind, join forces to suppress Luo Ji, and don't look at who Luo Ji's owner is!"
"Yes!" Hearing this, Ed no longer hesitated, when he was poor, he didn't see any charity from those rich people, and he said very much for the rich, but suddenly remembered something, Ed said: "You... Do you remember when some Orions were reluctant to join us?"
"You know, what did you find out?" Rogge has always been puzzled about this matter, it stands to reason that he has three times the price here, there should be no one who doesn't care, and he doesn't think that anyone has more than himself.
"That's right..."
After a brief explanation, Rogge learned that there was such a fur shop in the rich area, not only did he not participate in the suppression of fur prices, but although the price was not as high as Luo remembered, it was much higher than other shops that suppressed hunters.
Not only that, the shopkeeper usually takes good care of them hunters, and for the hunters who do not have a good harvest for a while, the shopkeeper will deliberately raise the price when buying furs.
"You can't generalize about everything!" After hearing this, Rogge shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't go to this one, although the peers are enemies, but for such merchants, we just have fair competition!"
"Fair play?" Ed frowned and looked at Rogge with a wry smile.
"If you don't understand, forget it, remember, for this merchant, just maintain the due respect..."
"Yes!" After speaking, Ed reported today's earnings: "The rich man's orders have been delivered, and the coins have been received, a total of 1,320 gold ......"
After listening to the report, Rogge stroked his brows and smiled bitterly, a few stores came down, he just had a little savings, and basically spent it, and after he came out with Ed, looking at a group of children waiting to eat cakes outside, Rogge sighed secretly.
Counting the new hunters, Luo Ji is now nearly 400 people, if it is not a limited number of people, I am afraid that there will be more, Rogge has roughly calculated, there are at least thirty percent of the poor people in the entire Dale County, thinking about the life in the slums, I really don't know how these poor people should spend this winter.
"It's better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!" Thinking of this, Rogge turned to Ed and said, "Come with me to the kitchen and teach you something!"
"This is the oil cake, and then we will make the pancakes, what is this? Bird eggs? So big? No one sells them, so don't use it,...... As for the noodles, it's as simple as that, and it's ...... to cut the noodles like this."
"Okay, these are enough..."After making a few simple ingredients, Rogge rubbed his hands and said: "I'll make a drawing, find someone to make a model, and pull it out early in the morning to sell, the name will be Luo Ji Breakfast Shop!"
"Let's just say that this is the Viscount's breakfast, and the Viscount said okay, what? How do you know that the Viscount has not eaten, I said that he has eaten, and he has eaten!"
"Okay, as for the pricing, it's just one copper coin, you have also seen it, ten copper coins and a bag of grain, work hard, and you can earn at least thirty for a bag of grain!"
"It's not a big deal, whoever in your family has relatives, there are poor households like yourself, they all call over, and the poor take care of each other. ”
Looking at everyone's grateful expressions, Rogge continued: "Of course, our Luo Ji signboard is not for nothing, not too much, just one bag of grain a month, and it will only be collected for three years, and it will belong to the individual after three years, and Luo Ji's signboard can be used casually!"
"Of course, you have to be responsible for playing Luo Ji's signboard, Luo Ji belongs to everyone, you can't damage Luo Ji's reputation because of one family, I will write a charter in a while......."
After a few words, everyone got busy, who has no relatives here, who has no friends, they are all poor people, and they have lived without a meal, Rogge's words, what Rogge has done, all of them are deeply moved.
After coming to the house, after the charter was written, he looked for Asuna everywhere, the wound on Nizi's foot was not healed, so he knew that he was blind, and he looked for several rooms but he couldn't find it, and Rog was walking back when he heard Casey's voice coming from the side.
"Sister Asuna, do your feet still hurt?"
"It's a little painful, maybe the propaganda has been running for a long time today..."Asuna's weak voice came.
"Your brother is really right, what are you running around with a girl, look at your feet, do you want to marry in the future!" Roland's reproachful voice came.
"There's... With my brother here, I'm not married!"
"How can there be a girl who doesn't marry..."Roland's voice weakened: "However, your brother is so good, he thinks about everything for us..."
"Of course," Asuna said smugly.
"Just. . . It's just..."was praised by the little girl, and Rogge was happy when he heard Casey's voice come out: "It's just not a good temper!"
"Hmm!" came two voices of approval.
Ed finished his errands, holding a bowl of freshly made noodles, and was about to eat it, when he saw Rogge walk in with a depressed face, looked at himself and asked, "Ed, do you think I have a good temper?"
"It's... This one.. This one......"
"Get out!" Seeing Ed's expression that he wanted to say but didn't dare to say, Rogge kicked away in anger, sat down in front of the noodles, and said sadly: "I won't even tell a lie, I will serve it myself!"
After dinner, looking at the sky, Rogge walked alone towards the city gate.
As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he saw Charles sitting in full armor, and beside him there was a man in his forties, with half-white hair, a sloppy beard, and an extremely haggard appearance.
The figure is so thin and long that the black official uniform covered with dirt looks extremely ill-fitting on the body, and you don't have to think about it to know that this is Charles's old boss, Marvin Prison Warden!
"Brother, you're here?!" Charles saw Rogge, got up and said, "This is the warden of Marven who I said!"
"You... Hello!" Although Marven heard Charles mention it in detail, he was still surprised when he saw Rogge, the child in front of him looked too small!
"Hello Warden Marven!" After Rogge saluted, he said with deep meaning: "You know all about today's events?!"
"Got it!" Marven nodded, "I'm here ....."
"Just call this kid brother, don't be so polite..."Charles waved his hand and said with a smile: "He came here to make a statement!"
After hearing this, Rogge nodded, and looked at Marven again, just this outfit knew that Marven didn't mix well, under normal circumstances, as long as he stayed in the prison to take in prisoners, at this time, he was really out of the way!
"Brother, when are you going to do it?!"
"Stay in the dead of night, catch the dogs and beat them hard!"
