Pour it into the empty plate a little first, the purple-red liquor is clear and translucent like blood, the visual effect is very strange, and when you smell it, it also exudes a faint fruity aroma, and you can't feel the spicy spirit of the spirit or the freshness of the beer at all. Take a sip, the taste is quite smooth, but it is not as sweet as imagined, but has a faint sourness, not to mention annoying, but also very unaccustomed.

"What do you think?" Seeing Monica finally break away from the state of wine tasting, Babu spoke.

"It's weird, I can't say it's hard to drink, but it's not so easy to get used to, and it's ......" Monica took a big sip this time, then shook her head, and took a small sip before saying, "This thing is far less strong than spirits, only slightly higher than beer, but like spirits, it is only suitable for small sips, and it doesn't feel good at all when you drink it in a big sip." Well, it's weird anyway. ”

"It's weird, but it's not annoying." Babu subconsciously shook the wine glass and sniffed it, tasted it again, and said, "Do you think there is a market?" ”

"It's not a big prospect, and it's okay to speculate a little bit more, but you want to make a lot of money from it...... Not very likely. Monica replied without thinking, "There are still some means to be used when speculating, and normal methods will definitely not work." ”

"What if it's free?"

"Of course, the more free the better, and it's not too hard to drink, even if you take it with you as a drink along the way. You're thinking of bad ideas again, hehe, you don't have any good intentions. Monica's eyes rolled and she smiled strangely, "Ah, I suddenly understand how you're going to fish, you ......." ”

"Hehe, you can't blame me for this, he can not bite the bait." Babu pushed away the empty plate that had already been eaten, and said as she helped Anna wipe the beef broth all over her face, "How about it, do you want to just solve it in one go?" ”

"You mean...... Today? Monica was stunned, "It's not impossible, this town is too hot, and I don't want to stay longer." But today, then we'll leave early tomorrow morning at the latest, I still want to buy some alchemy potion, didn't the waiter just say that there are alchemists in the town, maybe there are good potions, we didn't bring anything when we came out. ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I remember the alchemist's shop is nearby." Babu picked up Anna, and the three of them said hello to the waiter, then got up and left the tavern.

It really didn't matter, because when the caravan stopped outside the trading post, the time had just passed just over an hour, just after two o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, the three of them were sitting in the car and playing with four glass bottles in the shape of test tubes when they approached the trading post,

The potion that was played with was shiny with silver, giving people a sense of divine reliability, touching the outer wall to perceive it slightly, in fact, it was also a polluting energy belonging to the illusory world, but after being reconciled, it not only lost its destructiveness, but added a layer of protection and cleanliness meaning.

This is exactly the purification potion that Monica has in mind, one of the essential alchemy potions for edge travelers, whether it is toxins or pollution, a bottle can be effectively healed and purified, and many edge travelers rely on the effect of purification potions to survive the dangerous journey.

Babu still remembers that when he was in Thor Town before, when the pollution in the body of the edge mage Suni broke out, the alchemist Victor poured a similar potion on her, and the effect was really good, but unfortunately only members of similar scavenging teams could bear it, ordinary people drinking this kind of thing made of magic energy was tantamount to suicide by taking poison, even if it was a garrison group of fellow combatants, due to insufficient resistance, it was not very pleasant to drink, which was a mixed pros and cons.

"I really didn't expect that in such an ordinary town, I could meet an alchemist who was in business, and I could buy a purification potion of such a good quality, which Victor couldn't make before." Seeing that it was almost time to reach the trading post, Monica carefully put the potion back into the box, "It's a pity that it's too expensive, fifty silver coins in a small bottle, and half of the inherited cash will be used up at once." ”

"On the bright side, it's not half there." Babu snorted at the trading post building, "though there won't be much left soon." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, jumped out of the caravan, and looked at the people who greeted them from the building.

Located in the northeast corner of the town, the trading post is a huge building covering an area of more than 500 square meters, and it is said that every summer when the beaded fruit is ripe for about a month, the townspeople will send their surplus beaded fruit to the trading station, which will be purchased and stored by the town government, waiting for the caravan to come to the door. This trading post was built for this purpose, and the main part is a huge warehouse, with only six doors, not even windows, and you can feel the cold and damp cold inside when you pass through the door.

Apparently having received a report, Sherlock came out of a small door next to the warehouse, even though it was very hot, he was still wrapped in a thick cotton coat, and only came out to take it off.

"Welcome, welcome." At this time, his face could no longer see the unpleasantness of noon, and he smiled like a diligent businessman, "I didn't expect the three of you to come this afternoon, I thought I would have to rest for a few days." ”

"No way, it's too hot." Monica wiped her sweat, and her forehead was really hot, "I heard that the next month is getting hotter and hotter day by day, I really can't stand it, hurry up and leave after finishing the goods, it's uncomfortable to be late for a day." ”

"Hahaha, okay, okay." Sherlock twisted his beard and smiled, "Come on, come to the reception room for a while, drink a few glasses of beaded juice to quench your thirst, and I'll let the workers bring the samples out." ”

"Huh? Moved over? Monica frowned, "Don't you need to go to the warehouse?" ”

"Haha, the warehouse is messy, it's not very convenient to enter, not to mention that the environment inside is too bad, and the two of them are still with children, which is not suitable." Sherlock looked like he was thinking about you, "If the deal is confirmed, each box will be given to the two of you first when loading, so don't worry, we still have this credibility in Grepp Village, hahahaha." ”

While laughing, he welcomed the three of them into the reception room, it was still very hot inside, but it was much more comfortable than outside, and he poured half a glass of juice with ice in one go, and Babu and Monica felt much more comfortable, but little Anna was fine, and she didn't even sweat a drop, which surprised Sherlock, who had seen many outsiders.

As soon as he had a few words of laughter, two boxes of encapsulated beads were brought in.

The rattan box is not large, a box is divided into several layers, and it is only thirty kilograms inside, open the box to see, it is indeed as Sherlock boasts, each one is crystal full, juicy and fleshy.

"Very good indeed, it seems that Director Sherlock is not exaggerating." Monica and Babu sampled a few strings and looked at them, whether it was the appearance or the taste, they were satisfactory in all aspects, the two looked at each other and nodded, Monica asked, "I wonder what price Director Sherlock plans to offer?" ”

"Then it depends on how much you plan to buy." Sherlock closed his eyes so that he couldn't see his gaze, "We offer different prices depending on the amount we buy." ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"This year's production in the town is actually not high, and after we harvested it, we carefully selected a total of 1,200 kilograms, or 40 boxes. It doesn't take up much space, and I think your caravan should fit in. ”

Monica shrugged noncommittally and didn't speak.

"We have been selling by boxes for all years, thirty kilograms per box, fifteen silver coins, that is, fifty copper coins a kilogram."

"Hiss~" The two took a breath, Monica pinched her eyebrows and said, "This price is indeed more expensive, according to my estimate, even if it is sold in the present world where there are no fruit specialties, and it is retail, it will be sold at most at the price of fifty or sixty copper coins, which means that we not only can't make money, but also have to discount the freight." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, don't forget that we're pricing based on the quantity purchased, it's just the price of a single box." Sherlock explained, "If you buy at least ten boxes, the unit price is twelve silver coins, if you buy twenty cases, that's nine silver coins a box, and if you buy all forty boxes, then you only need six silver coins a box." In this way, it only costs twenty copper coins a kilogram, and if you think about it, you can sell it for three times the price, even for marginal merchants, this is quite a profit. ”

"The profits are really good." Monica circled around the box a few times and knocked on the rattan box, "I also inquired in the town, and the fruits were delivered one after another last month, so this is the effect of preserving for a month?" ”

Sherlock smiled, twisted his beard into a satisfied smile, and nodded, "As I said, our beaded fruit has a long shelf life and can't be spoiled easily. ”

"Look at this box, huh...... Breathable, dry, and what's more? ”

"Stay out of the light." Babu added.

"By the way, and avoiding the light." Monica suddenly looked up, stared at Sherlock and asked, "What about the temperature?" Do I need to cryopreserve? ”

"Miss Merchant." Sherlock also smiled, "You've been in the town for a long time, and you've almost escaped from the heat, do you think there is a place in the town that can be kept at low temperature, no matter where you put it, it won't be like the outside in half an hour, hehehe." ”

"That's right." Monica nodded, "If that's the case, the twenty boxes ......"

"Twenty crates is a crate of nine silver coins, but are you sure?" Sherlock asked with a smile, "With only sixty silver coins missing, I can buy twenty boxes of beaded fruits less, and I can earn nearly five gold coins, but in one thought, it becomes less than two gold coins, don't you think it's a loss?" ”

Monica paced in place, as if in a very tangled state, and Sherlock was not in a hurry, smiling and waiting on the side, as if she was completely sure. After wandering for a while, Monica pressed her head tangled and whispered, "We have other goods in the car, and we can't fit forty boxes." ”

"Huh?"

"It's not a lot of goods, but they all take up space." Monica simply handed over her list of goods, as if she had finally found a reason to convince herself, and shook her head, "And we don't have much money, we just spent two gold coins to buy a potion." So even if I want to take it all, I'll do ......."

"Hehe, it's easy." Sherlock glanced at the list and said slowly, "There are indeed not many goods, and they are all daily necessities, so we will simply collect them, and we can usually use them in the town anyway." ”

"That's it......" Monica looked at Babu, as if she had thought of something, her eyes flashed, she completely lost her previous hesitant and tangled attitude, straightened up and looked down at Sherlock, and said with a smile, "Judging by your performance, I really hope we can eat all these goods, and the sooner we eat them, the better." I don't know why you're so urgent, I don't want to know, I know you're urgent, and the initiative is enough in my hands. ”

"So if you want me to eat it, it's okay, first, our goods, packed for eighty silver coins and sold to you."

"The price ......," Sherlock still laughed, nodding his head, "and that's fair." ”

"Of course, we are merchants, not locusts." Monica seemed to suddenly remember something, and added, "And eighty silver coins is exactly the same price as the collar that Babu sold just now, what a coincidence." ”

Sherlock's smile faded and fell silent.

But Monica didn't care, and continued: "The second point is that you let two more silver coins, and I will take all four silver coins in one box. ”

"Are you kidding?" Sherlock's face sank with anger.

"Of course not, but, since I'm on the initiative now, it's more appropriate for me to set the price, what do you say?" Monica smiled, "If you're really in a hurry to ship, then accept this price, it's okay if you don't accept it, I'll buy less, and it won't have much impact, hehe." Moreover, this new price is actually very suitable, you think, after the goods are sold to you, counting the eighty silver coins for selling equipment at noon, it is just enough to make up the payment, and we don't have to post any more money. It's a coincidence that you couldn't stop the transaction at noon, otherwise we would have to bother with the payment, heh, thank you. Well, as long as you accept these two requirements, we will trade immediately. ”

Ever since he heard Monica mention the noon incident, Sherlock's face has become more and more gloomy, and he gritted his teeth angrily, but at this time he suddenly relaxed, nodded and said: "You see it right, I am indeed very eager to trade as soon as possible, okay, just trade according to the conditions you said." ”

"Really?" Monica narrowed her eyes, "Are you sure?" Don't regret your deal. ”

"Same." Sherlock also sneered, "As long as everyone doesn't regret it." ”
