Chapter Twenty-Five: Shopaholic Old Jack

After hearing this little girl's name, Ye Tianlong was really shocked, after all, Yamila was an NPC hero in the original version of Riding and Slashing! And because the initial level is very low, there is a lot of room for cultivation, and players can train them into various types of heroes according to their own needs.

But the age in front of me doesn't seem to be right! I don't know if it's because the timeline he entered is really wrong, or if the two just have the same name.

Looking at the thin body of the girl in front of him, Ye Tianlong sighed and asked, "Is there not enough to eat at home?" Did you eat the toffee you gave yesterday? ”

"Ate one! The rest is for my mom and dad, they still have to work, and they have to eat a little more! ”

"Alas! You're still young, it's time to grow your body, so you need to eat more! ”

Ye Tianlong was talking, and when he saw that the other children had finished eating spicy strips and ice soda and walked away, he took out a big steamed bun from a package beside him, this thing he was going to use as his own lunch, and bought several, after all, practicing riding must be very tiring, how can you have the strength to continue training if you are not full!

"Give! This is steamed buns, stuffed with pork! ”

After Ye Tianlong handed the other party this white-flour steamed bun, in order to prevent the other party from going back and leaving it for his parents to eat, he told him: "Let's eat it here!" ”

The girl also seemed to guess Ye Tianlong's thoughts, glanced at the other party gratefully, and then squatted next to Ye Tianlong and ate silently.

It can be seen that the girl is actually very hungry, and a big white-flour steamed bun bigger than a fist was eaten by the other party in a few minutes.

Then the other party drank the soda cleanly, and after eating and drinking, the girl suddenly opened her mouth and asked Ye Tianlong: "Brother, why are you so good to me?" ”

"Because you know how to be polite! When you grow up, you must have a great future! And my steamed bun is not for you to eat for nothing, I have a small task to be handed over to you to complete! Ye Tianlong, who was on the side, also nibbled on steamed buns, and replied casually to the girl.

"What mission?"

"The lord of your town, Lord Thor, knows each other, right? I want you to go and keep an eye on the other party's castle, and once you find out that he is out of the house, come and inform me, I usually either set up a stall here, or train on the training ground, which is easy to find! ”

The reason why Ye Tianlong gave the little girl Yamila this task was also to make second-hand plans, after all, the Potts butler didn't care much about his affairs, and he knew to collect taxes all day long, if he continued like this, he wanted to get the opportunity to meet the baron, I don't know how long he had to wait!

However, the other party will always go out, so he is ready to let Jamila help him watch during the day, once the other party is out of the castle, he can find a way to meet the other party, and then he does not have to wait for the introduction of the old fellow Potts.

"Got it, big brother, I'll go and keep an eye on it for you!" Jamila also learned from the people around her that Ye Tianlong wanted to ask the Potts butler to help arrange a meeting with the baron, so she naturally knew the other party's intention to ask her to do this, and this task was not difficult for her, so she agreed with her mouth.

After that, the other party quickly rushed to the vicinity of the baron's castle and went directly to work.

After Jamila also left, Old Jack, the owner of the equipment shop not far away, slowly paced to Ye Tianlong's stall, and continued to say to Ye Tianlong in that tone of hatred of iron and steel: "How can I say hello to you, you kid!" Take a bunch of things out every day to feed those little things, how much does it cost for a long time! Like today, your business hasn't opened yet! I've already taken out a lot of things for those little rabbits to eat and drink, are you really afraid that the group of little guys with bottomless stomachs will eat you poor! ”

"Yo! Old Jack, you're done taking a nap! Why don't you have a refreshing glass of ice soda? Ye Tianlong completely ignored the other party's kind nagging, and instead raised a glass of ice soda and said to him.

"Don't! I don't have a good stomach, I can't drink something so cold! Jack looked at the ice soda that was still bubbling cold, and hurriedly waved his hand to refuse.

"Oh! Bad stomach! That's really not going to drink this ice, I'll give you something else! As Ye Tianlong spoke, he quickly took out a cup of milk tea, opened it and poured the milk tea powder inside into the cup, and then washed it with the warm water prepared in advance, and a cup of milk tea with an attractive aroma was freshly baked.

After Old Jack asked about the tempting fragrance, he finally couldn't hold back, took the cup of milk tea from Ye Tianlong's hand, took a shallow sip, and suddenly a sweet feeling that he had never experienced before filled his mouth.

"This milk tea is so delicious! It's also a specialty of your Ceris Empire, right? The old man hadn't seen this drink on Calradia Road before! ”

"That's right! This milk tea can be regarded as a special drink from our Ceris Empire, we have been peaceful there for nearly a hundred years, and everyone lives a stable life, so we have time to figure out all kinds of delicious and fun things! Unlike yours, everything has to be in the service of war! The nobles are eager to loot the last copper plate in the hands of the people! Facing Old Jack's inquiry, Ye Tianlong replied with emotion.

And Old Jack, an old man who has lived for most of his life, is also quite touched by Ye Tianlong's words, on their Calradia continent, because several countries are fighting each other, this war has not been heard of almost every year, and sometimes it has to be fought several times a month on average. As a result, the low-level people living in the Calradia continent are really miserable, and the situation here in the small town of Odasan is not an isolated case, but a widespread phenomenon in all parts of the continent.

Accustomed to the war, Old Jack could not imagine for a moment what the people of a country that had enjoyed nearly a hundred years of peace would become.

If Ye Tianlong knew the other party's thoughts, he would definitely tell the other party that no matter what country or what era it is, the people at the bottom will never be able to live a prosperous life. Even the people of the Xinghan Empire, who have been peaceful for nearly a hundred years, are no exception.

Compared with the people at the bottom of the rest of the world, the people at the bottom of the Xinghan Empire are just able to barely ensure their own food and clothing because of the progress of science and technology and productivity, and they are actually very poor, and many people can't even afford to buy a house of their own.

Ye Tianlong was also one of them before, so when he also saw those low-level poor people who were sick and sympathetic to him before in this world, he was rarely kind, and actually left a bag of flour and a bag of salt for the farmer who was almost surrounded by four walls.

It's a pity that Ye Tianlong didn't know what Old Jack was thinking, he took advantage of the opportunity of the other party slowly drinking milk tea, and recommended all kinds of goods on his stall to him, after all, this one is the kind of big guy who really has money to spend!

Judging by the size of his shop and his ability to amass millions of silver coins in a short period of time, this one should be very rich, and should be considered one of the best in the entire town of Odasan.

Ye Tianlong's guess was indeed right, under Ye Tianlong's promotion, Old Jack soon had the idea of consuming.

I saw him squatting down, grabbed a handful of rice that had been husked, and asked Ye Tianlong carefully: "This rice is also a specialty of your Ceris Empire, right?" How do you sell it? How? Can it be ground into flour like wheat and then made into bread or something? ”

"Brother, this rice is cheap, such a big bag can be bought for only one dinar, and this thing is not as complicated to cook as wheat, it doesn't need to be ground into flour, it can be eaten after being washed with water and boiled directly in the pot for about half an hour, but this thing has no taste, it is best to eat it with some side dishes..."

Listening to Ye Tianlong's detailed introduction, Old Jack also slowly understood the method of this rice, because its price was not expensive, so he took out a dinar and bought a bag to go home to try it.

Ye Tianlong's bag of rice here weighs about 20 catties, which is indeed very cheap, after all, this is not local wheat, but another continent across the ocean, and the freight cost alone is a lot, so it is normal to sell it at a price several times more expensive than local wheat.

And after the completion of the first transaction, this uncle seems to have entered the shopaholic mode, what brown sugar, white sugar, corn, salt and dried chili peppers and other goods, basically bought some, most of them are Ye Tianlong's mouth of the Ceris Continent native products, it is obvious that this uncle is ready to buy back and try it.

Of course, the main reason is that the price of these goods sold by Ye Tianlong is not expensive, it can be called a conscience price, so Old Jack does not feel distressed when he spends this money, but feels that it is worth it.

Unconsciously, this uncle spent more than 30 dinars here with Ye Tianlong, and both sides also felt that they had earned it, among which Ye Tianlong really earned, after all, don't look at the goods he sold in Old Jack's opinion, the price is very cheap, but in fact, there is still a high profit margin, just like the salt, just such a small bag, only about half a catty, he sold a full two dinars here for a high price, and these two silver coins, if they are exchanged for money from the Xinghan Empire, it must be at least a thousand yuan, And when Ye Tianlong bought these salts, he took the wholesale price, which was only a few yuan a pack, so his profit was as high as hundreds of times, it was really Qin Shi Huang touching the electric door, and he was numb!

In the face of such high profits, it is impossible for Old Jack to worry that Ye Tianlong will lose money or even go bankrupt.
