"Five gold coins, no more. ”

This is the last price offered by the grocery store owner.

Five gold coins is enough money for a family to live for a few months, which is not a huge amount of money, but it is really not small.

Zhang Yao was overjoyed, although Pompey and Terry knew that this bird was valuable, but they didn't know what the specific price was, for ordinary peasants, ten silver coins, ten gold coins, or even hundreds of gold coins, all of them were 'valuable'. To put it simply, as long as it exceeds the amount of ordinary living expenses, it is all worth it.

Seeing the boss put the bird aside and turned around to withdraw the money, Zhang Yao hurriedly stopped.

"Wait a minute, I don't want money this time. ”

The boss turned his head, looked at Zhang Yao with the eyes of a fool, and repeated.

"Don't want money?"

Zhang Yao, who realized that his statement was a little vague, hurriedly added.

"It's not that I don't want money, but I want to exchange the money from selling birds for something. ”

Bartering is not uncommon, as it bypasses a portion of the transaction tax, so many small businesses do this in private.

"But yes, what do you want?"

Although two gold coins can't be said to be able to afford most of the goods in the store, they are enough to be extravagant, so the boss enthusiastically introduces Zhang Yao to the rare goods in the store.

Zhang Yao was not interested in those objects that were useless or had never been seen at all, so he leaned into the boss's ear and whispered his needs.

The boss twitched his cheeks and glanced at the slightly embarrassed smile on Zhang Yao's face, and repeated it.

"Wedding rings?"

The smile on Zhang Yao's face became even more serious, I really felt happy from the bottom of my heart, and others really wanted to beat this thing from the bottom of my heart.

"I see. ”

The boss turned and walked into the grocery store, and came out with a beautiful wooden box in his hand.

The wooden box was placed on the table and opened, and a pair of rings made of gold lay quietly inside.

The ring is very simple and simple at first glance, but when you look closely, you will find that both the fine polishing of the surface of the ring and the control of the shape and proportion are excellent, and you can even see the brilliance of the sun flowing in the gold when you turn it over in your hand.

In terms of craftsmanship alone, this is much better than the factory assembly line mass-produced diamond rings sold in stores on the planet, but you get what you pay for, and the highest priority of high quality is reflected in the high price.

"Seven gold coins, no two prices. ”

It's not that he didn't have this money, even the salary paid by the Holy See every month was dozens or hundreds of times that of these five gold coins, but Zhang Yao didn't put the coins on his body when he went on the expedition, which led to his lack of continuation, but all of them were stored in the Holy City. Excluding those belongings that could not be obtained for the time being, including the five gold coins he had just obtained, Zhang Yao had a total of less than six gold coins on his body.

It is true that I have been making some money by hunting for a while now, but the cost of the camp is much larger than expected, and all kinds of miscellaneous items alone can cause headaches, and this is still on the basis of food being maintained by hunting, so it is impossible to leave any spare money in my hands.

The ring that he liked very much was like a hot potato in his hand at this time, Zhang Yao almost wanted to hand the ring back to the boss, but whenever he was about to let go, he would think of Lilia Marie, as long as he thought of Lilia Marie's smile when she saw the ring, the fingers that he wanted to let go couldn't let go.

"It's too expensive, isn't it? ”

Zhang Yao, who couldn't give up, tried to bargain with the boss.

"One gold coin is enough for two rings. ”

Compared with the rookie Zhang Yao, the boss is much more sophisticated, and he fiddles with the other ring in the box unhurriedly and retorts leisurely.

"Then you just put the gold coin in her hand and forget it. ”

The two are not only the difference in experience and professionalism, but also the cunning and cunning of people is not an order of magnitude.

"The manual cost of making the ring, the transportation cost of transporting such a gadget here, and the risk of bringing luxury goods to the border to sell, all these miscellaneous payments are implemented in places you can't see, but you want me to treat it as pure gold, do you think it makes sense?"

If he hadn't really understood the so-called businessman's urine, Zhang Yao would have almost believed it.

The two of you talked about the price word by word, because they refused to back down, and the atmosphere gradually escalated, and to outsiders, I am afraid that it is no different from a real quarrel.

Just then, the door was pushed open again, and two men in military uniforms walked in.

"What's the quarrel?"

One of the soldiers walked over and stepped between the boss and Zhang Yao, separating the two.

"It's Master Conrad. ”

The boss immediately put on a smiling face, turned around and walked back to the room again.

The negotiations that were going on were suddenly interrupted, and Zhang Yao, who was accustomed to the queuing system, was patted on the shoulder as soon as he wanted to complain.

"Yo. ”

Another soldier who came in with him waved at Zhang Yao, who seemed to know Zhang Yao, which made him a little nervous.

It would be a problem if he was recognized here, but in public capacity, the 'Gilgamesh of the Illuminati' was a member of the Pope's faction, and was even promoted as a hero of the oracle, and now that the Pope is a construction site of the nations, even if he does nothing, he will be imprisoned by coercive means.

Moreover, imprisonment alone is a very mild approach, and it is not impossible to encounter radicals even if the other party directly attacks them.

However, things did not go in the direction that Zhang Yao feared.

"It's normal that you don't recognize me, after all, we only said two words that day. Honestly, if you didn't look like an ordinary peasant, I wouldn't remember you. ”

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yao realized that the soldier in front of him was the messenger who had sent a letter to this town before, and he greeted him only because he had met him before.

The two chatted casually for a while, and when Zhang Yao said that he had come to buy a wedding ring, the officer who was called Master Conrad by his boss turned his head and looked at him.

The boss came back soon, and when he came out, he had an extra box on his hand similar to before, but this time the box was several times larger than the box containing the ring, and it was quite weighty at first glance.

When handing the box to Conrad's soldiers, the boss said seemingly casually.

"There was no quarrel, there was just a disagreement about the price of the goods. ”

As for what happened, it was not revealed at all.

Conrad took the box, quietly opened a small slit and peeked inside, and then closed it satisfactorily.

"Well, yes, the goods this time were indeed prepared according to my requirements. ”

After a pause, Conrad deliberately bought a pass and continued.

"This time, the logistics of the troops will be handed over to you as promised, don't let me down. ”
