Chapter 12 Materials for Making Aromatic Wine
Li Yinguang is the least worried about the sales of the 'Mambach Town tabloid', because all the newspapers in Mambach Town are sold in a sales model, like this 'free delivery', they are the only scorpion baba!
There are no exact figures for the total population of the town, but it is certain that it is more than 100,000 people.
Half of the slums are inhabited, with about 20,000 to 30,000 ordinary residents, and the rest are gold diggers, adventurers, and merchants.
Within a radius of thousands of kilometers, the town of Manbach is a lively place.
However, this world is very big, not only the world is big, but the races are not relatively mixed, on the surface, humans dominate the world, but more than 80% of human bodies are mixed with the genes of other races.
Even among the many races, there are dark and light camps, of course, these things are not obvious in a border place like Mambach Town, and there are not many people who care.
Strange mechanical modders, blood-mixed racial hybrids, no matter what faction you belong to, as long as you follow the rules in Mambach, no one will care about you!
There are even more people in the slums, and this area is also the most densely populated area in the town of Manbach.
"What is this?"
Li Yinguang came out of the newspaper office, originally wanted to go to the opposite 'black-hearted grocery store' to inquire about something with Old Man Zhou, and when he came out, he saw that many people on the street were setting up stalls, a girl with short hair and muddy face but could not hide her beauty, and there was a simple woven basket in front of her, which was full of vines of some kind of green plant, exuding a faint and very special smell.
Because she was sitting next to the entrance of the 'Mambach tabloid' newspaper office, and she could see it when she came out of it.
The open-air market is organized by everyone in the slums, and the 'black-hearted grocery store' is the most crowded place in the entire slum, not only people from the slums will come here, but also people from the outside town, including those hunters, adventurers, explorers, scavengers, etc., so it has become a hub for communication with the outside world.
Maybe there is also the planning of Old Man Zhou, and this 'hypocrite' doesn't mind setting up a stall at the door of the 'black-hearted grocery store'.
As he said to Li Yinguang, who said that there are no good things in the slums?
The problem is that many times, the people in the slums themselves don't know what they are doing is good and what value it is.
If there is a channel that can be taken out to set up a stall to sell, someone will take out the things, and at this time, people with good eyesight will be able to get high returns from it!
There is no doubt that Old Man Zhou is this kind of sharp-eyed person!
At first, there were not many people who set up stalls, but later the reputation spread and the rules became more and more, and even attracted many people from outside the slums to come and hang out.
Although the consumption level of people in the slums is not very good, it is not that there is no consumption, they all need to eat, drink and sleep, so the necessary consumption is also indispensable, and it is inevitable that there will be times when you get rich when you walk too much at night, and it has become a fixed market in the slums.
The business hours are usually at 10 p.m. at sunset, and then gradually end after dark, and the business hours are not long, because there are not many things to sell.
Tax officials rarely set foot in slum markets, and even if they did, it was the old man Zhou from the 'black-hearted grocery store' who came forward to do so.
The security is OK, but it's messy!
"Sweet grass vine, boiling water and drinking can quench hunger."
The little girl hugged her legs, said weakly with timidity in her voice.
'Purple vine, yellow and white flowers, high sugar content, fragrant and slender, has a certain medicinal value, edible, is a rare material for winemaking! ’
Because of the 'mysterious gem' hint sewn in his heart, Li Yinguang noticed her.
Squatted down, reached out and tried to break it, but it didn't come off.
The little girl with a muddy face grinned at Li Yinguang with her little tiger teeth: "The skin of the sweet grass vine is very thick, and it needs to be smashed with a knife or an iron rod to break it. ”
As he spoke, he picked up the crook and sickle placed at his feet, sharpened it from the basket for about ten centimeters, and handed it to Li Yinguang.
"The juice in it is sweet, you can taste it!"
Li Yinguang took it, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, there was an indescribable fragrance, how to say it, this is the kind of thing that can be addicted to sniffing!
An indispensable ingredient for sake brewing?
His eyes pondered and asked, "Where did you collect this 'sweet grass vine'?" ”
The little girl was slightly stunned, bit her lip, put away her smile and shook her head stubbornly: "I can't tell you this." ”
Li Yinguang smiled and said, "Why can't you tell me?" ”
"If you pick it too, how can I sell it?" The little girl pouted.
"How much is this basket of 'sweet grass vines'?"
"Twenty Bronze Bull Coins!"
Li Yinguang's eyes flickered and nodded: "Okay, I bought this basket of 'sweet grass vines', and you can go and gather your friends or family members around you to collect this kind of 'sweet grass vines', and I will buy a large number of them, okay?" ”
"A lot of acquisitions? How much is it to acquire? ”
The little girl obviously has never encountered this kind of 'big deal', although the 'sweet grass vine' is not easy to find, but it is not impossible to find, because the price is not expensive, and it is a little rare, and it can be used as food, which makes it have some value.
Twenty copper bull coins are enough to have more than ten or twenty catties, which is enough to prove that it is not a precious and scarce thing.
"I'll buy as much as you can collect, and I can give you two silver bull coins as a deposit." Li Yinguang said here, stopped, he understood the truth of his guilt, maybe the two silver cows would harm the little girl, the slum is not a peaceful place, changed his words and said: "The deposit will not be given to you first, as long as you bring someone to bring the 'sweet grass vine', I will buy it, and it counts!" ”
"Good!"
The little girl happily agreed, and took twenty copper bull coins from the butler Goda, not even a basket, and jumped and ran.
"Master, there are a lot of woods and mountains in the west of Sweet Grass Vine Town, and they are not of much value." Butler Goda reminded.
Li Yinguang said thoughtfully with a smile: "Whether it is valuable or not depends on whose hands it is." ”
In the simplest way, a straw tied to the cabbage is the price of the cabbage, and tied to the hairy crab is the price of the hairy crab.
If you only boil water and drink it, you can use it as food to satisfy your hunger, but if it is made into spices and made into wine, it is not valuable.
The high value depends on what kind of product it can become!
It's not appropriate to send someone out to collect, and for the time being, you can't separate that person's energy, anyway, it's all money, so it's better to spend it directly.
The important thing is that he thinks that the little girl is quite close to him!
"Brother, Fool Li bought my sweet grass vine, and he also said that I would take someone to pick sweet grass vines tomorrow, and he would buy as much as he collected!"
Xiao Man ran into a simple courtyard in the slum, screaming happily, and the timid little girl in front of Li Yinguang just now was like two people.
There was not just one person in the courtyard, a dozen and a half children gathered together, as if discussing something.
The leader is Brother Xiaoman's Scarface, who may have a name but no one knows what it is called, and there is a scar on his face, so everyone calls him Scarface.
