The north gate of the outpost.

Two men dressed in avant-garde clothes, one in front of the other, sandwiched the two-headed ox in the middle, walked to the north gate and stopped.

The man standing at the front of the line held a 7m revolving rifle, a specialty of Red River, and although the muzzle of the gun was pointing downward, his eyes kept roaming back and forth between the walls and the surroundings, followed by possible dangers.

This man is strong!

This is Chu Guangdi's intuition.

As for the person standing at the back, it was the businessman surnamed Sun that Chu Guang had met before.

"Haha, my old friend, we meet again!"

Seeing Chu Guang who appeared at the door, the tension on Sun Shiqi's face suddenly disappeared, and he opened his arms happily and enthusiastically and greeted him.

He smelled the smell wafting from him from afar, and Chu Guang, who couldn't stand it, didn't hug him, but instead stretched out his right hand.

Sun Shiqi smiled, not embarrassed, changed his posture as if he were good, and shook Chu Guang's right hand vigorously.

Then release.

"I'm sorry, I was on the road for almost five days, and I didn't have time to take a shower, so I made you laugh!"

"It's okay," Chu Guang glanced at the man standing next to the two-headed cow and cast an inquiring glance at Sun Shiqi, "Who is this?" ”

"He's the gunman I hired over there in Red River to be in charge of my safety along the way. There are a few gunmen guilds in Red River that are very trustworthy and reliable, and most importantly, they know how to avoid clashes with marauders in the vicinity...... Mostly to be on the safe side, you just don't exist as if he doesn't exist! ”

The Gunners' Guild?

I'm afraid of being a predator who washes his hands in a golden basin.

Chu Guang nodded, his gaze lingering on the large, two-headed cow for a while, his eyebrows slightly raised a trace of interest.

It seems that the air-dried meat they make is very popular in Red River Town, and the last time that business should have made this guy a lot of money, not only did he have money to buy a batch of new goods, but he also hired a bodyguard.

That's a good thing.

A win-win business can last for a long time.

"How's the way to Boulder? Is it easy to go? Chu Guang asked casually.

"I haven't been to Boulder City before, and I don't know much about the situation there," Sun Shiqi shook his head into a rattle, "After leaving you last time, I went to a farm not far from you, and it happened that they were very interested in the rest of my goods, so I exchanged some food with them and went straight back." ”

"The road conditions in the city are too complicated, the ruins inside are like a maze, and I would rather walk 10 kilometers in the wilderness than a mile in the city."

"You should also feel that this winter is going to be even more difficult than usual, the price of food in Red River Town is simply skyrocketing, those mine owners, slave owners and other big people can't get used to those black and dark nutritional pastes, I almost just shipped the things to the trading post, and they were immediately snapped up by their servants."

"I thought that since the sales were so good, I might as well come back before the heavy snow closed the road, so I hired a bodyguard and set off, hehe."

"So easy to sell? Looks like I sold it cheaply last time. Chu Guang said half-jokingly.

Realizing that he was a little carried away, Sun Shiqi hurriedly coughed dryly and said with a smile.

"My lord, you're joking, we businessmen all do business with our heads pinned to our trouser belts, saying that we can make some money, but in fact, we can earn a living on the road."

"Alright, don't sell me badly. How much you earn is your ability, remember to buy two more cows when you have money, and bring more things in the spring of next year," Chu Guang interrupted his nonsense and went straight to the point, "What do I want?" Did you bring it? ”

Sun Shiqi hurriedly said.

"Take them all! Hehe, rest assured, I will definitely not forget your instructions! ”

The mutated two-headed cow can often weigh more than one ton, and the carrying capacity is almost between 700 kg and 900 kg.

In addition to the 500 kilograms of coins, Sun Shiqi also used the money he earned to purchase less than 100 kilograms of supplies.

Among the transactions is a bag of waxy yellow coarse salt, which weighs about 10 kilograms. There were also 10 7mm caliber revolver rifles, as well as two large bags of heavy bullets, and so on.

Although he still has some weight left, he has no extra money to buy.

Normally, these less affluent guilds would take a detour to scavenge for waste, but at this point in time, it was clearly not appropriate to do so.

When inspecting the bullets in the sacks, Chu Guang noticed that the two large bags of bullets were actually all made of copper?

It seems that there is not much shortage of copper in Red River Town.

However, compared to the stamped cartridge casings produced in Boulder City, many of the bullets produced in Honghe Town are made of copper skin, and there are visible depressions and bumps on the cartridge casings.

No wonder they would make this semi-automatic revolver rifle with a simple receiver structure.

With a slightly more sophisticated receiver, I'm afraid that this kind of ammunition will jam after only a few rounds.

Is this the difference between an industrial survivor colony and a resource-based survivor colony?

Throwing the few bullets in his hand back into the bag, Chu Guang silently wrote down the information in his heart.

“…… How about adults? Are you still satisfied with these goods? ”

Sun Shiqi had a flattering smile on his face.

If he could, he hoped that Chu Guang would buy all these things.

That way, he can also bring back some more air-dried meat.

"Weapons and coarse salt, and those coins, I want them all," his eyes fell on the last bag, Chu Guang glanced at it, and found that it contained some ginger powder, so he asked, "What is in here?" ”

Sun Shiqi said with a smile.

"Worm powder! The mutant yellow-fronted tall spider is ground after drying, rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, mainly used as fertilizer! ”

Chu Guang nodded in understanding.

As fertilizer, that's what Brown Farms wants. He hadn't started farming yet, so he didn't need it.

But it gave him an idea.

I've heard from players that there's a lot of struvite around the lake, so maybe you can try making some fertilizer and sell it to Brown Farm.

At this time, Sun Shiqi suddenly remembered something, walked to the side of the two-headed cow, opened the leather package hanging on it, and took out a glass bottle from it.

The mouth of the glass bottle is stuffed with a cork, and there are some small ventilation eyes on the cork, and there are fist-sized ants stuffed in the bottle, shaking the limbs and tentacles visible to the naked eye, and it looks quite crazy.

Staring at the bottle with interest for a while, Chu Guang asked.

"Is this the ironback ant?"

Sun Shiqi said with a smile.

"That's right! Usually we use it to make feed, or other things, and it happens that someone at the trading post is selling it, so I buy a bottle. ”

After playing with the bottle for a while, Chu Guang looked at Sun Shiqi and asked.

"How much?"

Sun Shiqi waved his hand again and again and said.

"No, no, no, my friend, you misunderstood. This is my gift to you, and I don't charge any money. ”

"Oh? Thank you then. ”

Of course, Chu Guang would not refuse this kind of good thing, and decisively accepted the gift.

As for the return gift?

Inexistent.

Allowing this guy to do business with himself is already the greatest grace to him.

Seeing Chu Guang accept the gift, Sun Shiqi's face was full of smiles.

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure to have your friendship...... You see, it's not too early, why don't we talk about the details of the transaction? ”

Chu Guang nodded and only said one word.

"Yes."

……

Unlike the merchants from Boulder City, most of these merchants from other regions do not recognize chips as a currency, and either have their own currency or no currency at all.

Therefore, in general, when conducting cross-regional trade, everyone barters, and there is no fixed "price".

Although he received a gift symbolizing friendship from Sun Shiqi, friendship can't be eaten after all, and when bargaining, Chu Guang didn't make concessions at all in the face of favors.

Joke.

Who can be thicker than the cheeks of sales?

The 500 kilogram coin is still at the last agreed price, which is equivalent to 20 kilograms of air-dried meat for every 100 kilograms for 4 kilograms of air-dried meat.

Chu Guang has always been a man of his word, and he has no intention of going back on what he has agreed upon, and there is no need for that.

The two sides happily reached a consensus.

But that's all there is to it.

A few minutes ago, Sun Shiqi was naïve enough to think that the man in front of him was very talkative, until the crazy words of "3 kilograms of air-dried meat for 1 kilogram of salt" popped out of the mouth of the man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, did I mishear...... Maybe you're talking about 1 pound? ”

The reaction to this guy was completely expected, Chu Guang said unmoved.

"You heard me right, I'm talking about 1 kilogram, 1 kilogram of coarse salt."

"It can't be!"

Sun Shiqi exclaimed in surprise almost reflexively, swept away his previous respect, and argued indignantly.

"You must be kidding! The bacon here is roasted and dried, and it is not cured at all, so it is not worth the price! ”

"Oh?"

Seeing that Chu Guang was still unmoved, Sun Shiqi took a deep breath and continued in a relaxed tone.

"Well, you're not a businessman after all, and maybe you don't know the market...... Let's do the math. If I ship 10 kilograms of kosher salt to Boulder, I will get at least 1 chip per 100 grams! ”

Chu Guang did not speak.

He hadn't actually been to Boulder City at all, only knew that the coarse salt, which was sallow, bitter, and only the poor would consume, was charged 2 chips per 100g at the old leech on Bate Street, which was doubled by accident.

But what does it matter?

The price of grain has tripled for this old leech!

There is no point in discussing prices on the wasteland.

Moistening his dry throat, Sun Shiqi continued.

"100 chips! If I exchange these chips for electrical appliances, industrial products, and daily necessities and take them to Brown Farm, I can exchange at least 300 kilograms of green barley, and if I exchange these grains for bacon, it will be at least 60~75 kilograms to be reasonable. ”

"So the lowest price I can accept is 60 kilograms, which is 1 kilogram of salt for 6 kilograms of bacon! For the sake of our friendship...... 59kg, that's the lowest offer I can accept! ”

"It's also my biggest concession!"

Sun Shiqi felt that he had explained the truth simply and clearly.

Even if these hamsters guarding the shelter have not traded in the wasteland, they should be able to understand their "hardships" to some extent.

However, after listening to his nonsense, Chu Guang just smiled.

There is one sentence that he is right.

It's true that he's not a businessman.

If someone really sees themselves like this, the pattern is inevitably too small.

But if you think you don't know how to buy and sell?

Hehe.

"You're right."

The expression on Sun Shiqi's face was happy.

However, without waiting for a second, Chu Guang's next words made a happy expression freeze on his face.

“…… So why don't you, my friend? ”

Looking at this friend who came from afar with a smile on his face, Chu Guang said softly.

"I mean, if you want to exchange 300 kilograms of green barley for me for 59 kilograms of bacon, I'm not unacceptable."
