Chapter 137: Bai Wei, who has nothing
The continent of all ethnic groups, the southeast mountainous area, the kingdom of jade peach.
Bai Wei's back armor was empty, and her steps were heavy, walking on the winding mountain road.
At the foot of the mountain, the peach forest.
Huang Tao looked up.
"Baiwei Mountain Lord!" Red hearts looked up, exhaled, dropped the tool in their claws, and rushed out, then realized that something was wrong.
"Baiwei Mountain Lord? What about your cargo? ”
"You-"
"Was it robbed by the hateful orcs?"
“…… No. ”
Bai Wei was frustrated and asked, "Red hearts, do you believe that I can earn the original stone?" ”
Red hearts said firmly: "Believe it! ”
Bai Wei didn't speak, walked into the garden, and asked, "Huang Tao, do you believe that I can get rich?" ”
“…… Letter! Huang Tao asked worriedly, "Bai Wei, what's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Bai Wei untied the spider silk bag on her back armor, took out a metal jar, placed it in front of Huang Tao, and opened the lid, revealing the golden honey syrup that exuded the breath of the Force inside.
"Yellow peach, you taste it."
"What is this?"
“…… Force Honey. ”
"Honey? It's fruity. Force honey doesn't have such a strong Force breath either. ”
"Don't worry about it, you can taste it."
The yellow peach poked out her forefoot and dipped it lightly to taste.
"There's a little bit of honey. But by no means honey. ”
"It tastes good."
"A lot of Force food?"
Bai Wei: "Yes. The mutated ability of the Mutant Water Queen Bee is able to refine and mix fruits and Force food together to make this Force honey. ”
Bai Wei asked: "I bought 800 rough stones/can, and sold 1000 rough stones/cans." Huang Tao, do you think you can earn rough stones? ”
Hearts replied: "Earn 200 rough stones per can!" ”
Huang Tao didn't answer Bai Wei's question, and Chi asked, "Where did this come from?" ”
Bai Wei: "That little ant king." ”
Huang Tao: "If you store it like this, the Force will slowly escape, right?" ”
Bai Wei: "It can be kept for more than a year." ”
Huang Tao: "What happened?" ”
Bai Wei: "Luo Quinoa said that the risk was too great, it thought that I would definitely lose all my money, and did not agree with me to do this business." ”
Huang Tao: "Then your goods ......"
Bai Wei: "We had a fight. ”
Huang Tao: "Quarrel? ”
Bai Wei: "We're separated. ”
Bai Wei said sadly: "As soon as we settle the account, my goods are all gone. I still owe 175,000 rough quinoa. I've been losing, and before I know it, I've lost all the huge fortune left to me by Heavenly Name, and I've lost 175,000 rough stones......"
Bai Wei: "Huang Tao, am I too stupid and useless?" ”
Yellow Peach: "......"
Heart: "!! ”
I only heard Huang Tao say that Bai Wei Youshang has been losing, but I never expected that he would lose so much!
How can you lose so much?
The elated red peach shrank behind the yellow peach with interest.
Huang Tao choked for a while, and comforted: "Bai Wei, don't be discouraged, you are not all losing these primordial stones, you have spent a lot of money to help me evolve the mountain master." It also costs a lot to grow and evolve on your own. ”
Bai Wei: "I've always been frugal. ”
Bai Wei said frustratedly: "I have always thought that when I earn the original stone, I must treat myself." But after so many years, I am only 3 years old mountain master. ”
Huang Tao said with a clear conscience: "I think your losses are within an acceptable range, but Luo Quinoa is too stingy." ”
"Yes...... Yes......"
Hearts carefully echoed.
Bai Wei didn't speak.
On the way here, I have scolded the quinoa 10,000 times in my heart.
But calm down and think about it, after so many years, if it wasn't for Luo Quinoa to take care of it, I would have collapsed a long time ago...... Actually bankrupt once.
Huang Tao wanted to divert the topic and talk about something happy, but seeing Bai Wei's current situation, it seemed that there was nothing happy to talk about, a tragic topic that could not be avoided.
"Bai Wei, have you separated from Luo Quinoa?"
"Yes."
"That'...... Your caravan's little flame spider ......"
"Yudou is a 7-instar advanced flame spider warrior, and the grass dragon is also a 2-instar advanced, so they have to try to walk independently."
Huang Tao: "Oh-"
Bai Wei said dejectedly: "But as an elder, I have nothing, and I can't give them anything." ”
Yellow Peach: "......"
Huang Tao thought about it, but couldn't think of how to comfort the other party, and was worried.
Flame Spiders cannot sow life seeds, manage territories, or harvest Force food.
Flame spiders can only obtain the Force food they need to grow and evolve through the Wandering Merchant Trade.
Looking at Bai Wei's empty back armor again, now she doesn't even have the last, already small trading capital.
"Bai Wei, what will you do in the future?"
"What else can I do?"
"What's the plan?"
"I'm thinking."
Huang Tao pointed to the metal can on the ground and asked, "This is made by that ant king in the Cloud Trace Continent?" ”
Bai Wei: "Yes. I think I can sell it and make a fortune, but I don't think so. ”
Bai Wei said firmly: "I still think this is a chance to turn over!" ”
Yellow Peach: "......"
Huang Tao was speechless.
Huang Tao is not a flame spider, and he doesn't know much about the trade of traveling merchants, so he doesn't know how to say it for a while.
The red heart tiptoed forward, and the tentacles dipped some Force ant honey in the jar, and the front foot held the tentacles and tasted it, "It's delicious!" ”
Huang Tao pondered, analyzed, and said: "But the storage time of one year is too short. If you ship it back from the continent of all nations, you will need half a year, so there will only be half a year left for sales. Such goods, a small amount is okay, but a large quantity, once it can't be sold in time, it will be ......"
Perhaps, quinoa is right.
Huang Tao didn't dare to say.
Bai Wei helped: "Even if it is sold, if you don't eat it in time, there will be quality problems." ”
Do you know it's a serious problem? The yellow peach vigorously clicked the tentacles in agreement.
The red heart poked out two tentacles, dipped them in ant honey, held and licked them, made a chirp sound, and couldn't help but praise:
"It's delicious!"
"Hearts! Let's get down to business! You know how to eat. Huang Tao scolded.
"I'll taste ......"
Hearts quickly licked the tentacles clean and said seriously, "Due to the problem of too short a storage time, there is a risk in the transaction of this 'Force Honey', right?" ”
Bai Wei and Huang Tao ignored it.
Heart: "Wouldn't it be better to find a way to extend the storage time?" ”
Bai Wei: "I'm thinking about it too. ”
Heart: "Why is there only one year of shelf?" ”
Huang Tao: "Because there is a gap between the jar and the lid, the Force will be lost along the gap, and once the Force is lost more than a certain amount, it will cause the Force ant honey in the jar to deteriorate and the quality will decline." ”
Heart: "What about the threaded jar you made last year?" ”
Huang Tao: "I'm afraid it won't work." If the jar and lid can be separated, there must be a gap, and as long as there is a gap, no matter how subtle, the Force will definitely be lost. ”
Entering the technical discussion session, Bai Wei cleaned up her mood and asked, "Yellow peach, red heart, you can help find a way together...... Think of a way to combine the jar and the lid perfectly and seal the Force away. ”
Huang Tao: "I can activate the metal ability to seal it, but the lid won't open." ”
Heart: "I have a way!" ”
Huang Tao said angrily: "Red hearts, you go and play!" ”
Bai Wei asked, "Red hearts, what way?" ”
Red Heart: "Lord Baiwei Mountain, when I was very young, didn't you give me a kind of royal jelly?" That only needs a clay pot to preserve, and the Force won't be lost. ”
Bai Wei: "Yes. It is made by a very small number of water-based bees, and it is made by collecting pollen and nectar from God-given seeds. Royal jelly is as stable as the rough and will not deteriorate after 10,000 years of storage. ”
Huang Tao suddenly understood what Red Heart meant, and with a light touch of his antennae, he pointed to the metal can, and said, "Spread a layer of royal jelly on the surface to seal the Force." ”
After Huang Tao finished speaking, he immediately said: "But the cost of doing this is too high, right?" Bai Wei, I remember the last time I had a small bottle of royal honey, you said it cost 3,000 rough stones? ”
Bai Wei, who had just been a little happier, was disappointed again, and sighed: "Yes, one of the most delicious and expensive Force foods in the mainland. Sealed with royal jelly, the cost will be doubled, and the original 1000/jar of Force honey must be sold for at least 2000 rough stones, so no worm is really willing to buy it. ”
Royal jelly is just rare and delicious, and there is no special enhancement effect, and the queen bee who brews royal jelly may not be willing to eat it herself.
This is a luxury item that a very small number of rich insects are willing to buy, specially used to entertain distinguished guests, and show their strength, financial resources, and status.
"It doesn't work. Doing so will only cost you more. Huang Tao shook his tentacles vigorously and rejected the proposal.
"You're all wrong!"
The red heart tentacles pointed to the mouth of the metal can and said, "I mean, in the metal can mouth of the threaded design, apply a little royal jelly, and then twist it repeatedly, and use royal jelly to seal the threaded gap between the can mouth and the lid." ”
Hearts asked, "Well, it only takes a small bit, right?" ”
Huang Tao: "!! ”
The antennae of the yellow peach are vertical.
Bai Wei jumped, "That's right! ”
It's not hard to understand the ingenious approach.
After a little thought, I felt that it was feasible.
Bai Wei jumped up and down happily.
Wake up the worm in the dream with a word, and clear the fog to see the clouds.
"Little heart, you are such a brilliant praying mantis!"
"I've made a fortune when I turn around, and I won't treat you badly!"
"No, I can take you to make a fortune together! And you, Yellow Peach! ”
Hearts cheered, "Good! Okay! Thank you, Lord Baiwei Mountain. You're sure to make a fortune this time! ”
Yellow Peach: "......"
Huang Tao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, had an ominous premonition rising in his heart.
