[Chapter 46 The Big Purchase]

Robb walked in front, Lillian followed behind with a small bamboo basket, the master and the servant walked leisurely to the center of the town.

It was almost the beginning of July when I lived in this town, but now it’s the beginning of August, and Robb ran out to go shopping for the second time, because he was so lazy that he hadn’t been out of the church gate for a whole month.

This rare trip to the street, only to find that Xifeng Town is a little different from the last time I went shopping. Many families in the town are building water towers, and there are screw pumps everywhere. It is really spectacular. The water towers are also hung with iron or copper water pipes.

Since mining is the number one industry among the four major industries in Xifeng Town, even the poorest townspeople in Xifeng Town can easily obtain a large amount of iron and copper. Some people followed Robb and used iron pipes, but Some senior townspeople, who often deal with metals, did not follow Robb and chose copper pipes instead.

When Robb saw the copper pipe, he suddenly remembered: Since there is copper, I shouldn’t use iron for the water pipe. Copper is less likely to oxidize and rust, and is much better than iron pipes. Oh, I fell into the way of thinking of the original world. In the original world, the motherland was a relatively copper-deficient country, and the limited copper was not enough to make some copper coins, so the Chinese people have used iron to make various items since ancient times. In this world, copper doesn’t seem to be a rare thing, and these people don’t feel bad about using it as a water pipe.

Robb turned to Lillian and said, “Help me remember that when we get home, we have to invite the blacksmith again to replace all the water pipes in the house with copper pipes.”

Lillian nodded and said, “Okay, master.”

Continue Walking forward, the townspeople who met along the way all bowed respectfully to Robb. From time to time, someone could be heard calling “Good morning, My Father”. Robb waved to everyone, showing the momentum of leading the way to the countryside.

When the town center arrived, Robb saw a large group of townspeople from afar. He was thinking that this group of people was blocking his view, when he heard a townsman shouting: “Father is here!”

The townspeople who were surrounded immediately seemed to have been slashed by “Strengthening Huashan”, and separated to both sides, making way for Robb. .”

Robb was a little embarrassed by what they did, and smiled: “I said, you are too polite to me.” The

townspeople respectfully said: “It should be!”

Well, the son has something for his father. It’s okay to be polite, but can you sell things to Dad without taking money? Robb groaned in his heart, and then passed through the welcome array set up by the townspeople and walked in front of the “roving businessman”.

I don’t know if I don’t see it, but I’m happy to see that this itinerant businessman is actually a dwarf, short, only as high as Robb’s waist, and his big head accounts for one-third of his total height. A small moustache actually dragged to his waist. He was also staring at Robb with wide eyes, looking very interested.

Behind the dwarf businessman, a group of servants guarded a cart with a dazzling array of goods. Robb glanced at it and saw bundles of linen, cotton, salt jars, pepper jars, Vanilla, and some miscellaneous daily necessities, because there are too many types, it is impossible to see.

“Oh, dear Mr. Father,” the dwarf said, “I come to Westwind Town every two months, but the last time I came here, there was no priest. I didn’t expect there is one now, and he is still so young and handsome, you What a talent.”

As soon as they met, he turned on the flattering mode, which is indeed the true nature of a businessman. Robb smiled and flattered: “I also think that my character is quite handsome.” The

dwarf asked curiously: “Pinch?”

Robb laughed Dao: “Oral addiction, don’t pay attention to such details! Let me take a look at your products.” The

dwarf quickly said respectfully, “Please choose at will.”

Robb walked to the car, looked closely, and immediately found a roll of silk, the dwarf businessman followed his eyes and quickly introduced: “Mr. Father, you really know the goods, this is from the Eastern Land Tang Dynasty. It’s a high-end product, it’s light and delicate for making clothes, soft and close to the skin, it’s not comparable to cotton, it’s very popular among princes and nobles…”

Having said this, he leaned close to Robb’s ear and whispered. Said: “It is especially suitable for making pajamas for women, tsk tsk, reach out and touch it, that feel, hehe…”

Of course Robb knew this, and he also knew that silk robes were better than magic cloth and cotton cloth. It is more high-end, whether it is defensive power, additional intelligence, magic strength, and the effect of random enchantment can also be improved to a higher level. This kind of thing can only be imported from the Eastern Land and Tang Dynasty. It is very rare in the West. It’s not easy to buy at ordinary times, and it’s not wrong to save more.

He smiled and said: “Very good, I want this, how many do you have?”

“I have ten!” The dwarf merchant heard that Robb wanted to buy, with a bright smile on his face: “Each piece is a gold coin ”

Robb said with a smile, “I want it all.”

Cotton is only 10 silver coins per piece, and silk actually costs one gold coin, which is ten times more expensive than cotton cloth. Of course, ordinary townspeople would not buy it. In fact, this It is difficult to sell things in the western frontier town, and only occasionally is bought by the mayor. Robb bought ten at once, which made the dwarf businessman happy, and took Lilian’s delivery with a smile. The money that came over was put into his pocket, and his servant put ten pieces of silk into Lillian’s hands.

Lillian couldn’t hold ten pieces of silk at all, but fortunately, there were enthusiastic townspeople nearby to help hold it.

Robb bought another big jar of salt, vanilla powder… Anything that he couldn’t buy in Westwind Town, he bought a lot of it, and it didn’t matter if he didn’t need it.

However, after such a trick, Robb didn’t have much money left. Last time, he made a hundred gold coins from selling flying dragon leather armor, which seems to be a lot of money, but he spent a lot of money on buying things, and he also randomly released bounties. In addition to this big purchase, the money in his hands The son went for more than half.

When his eyes turned to the large jar of pepper on the dwarf merchant’s trolley, Lillian couldn’t help but tugged at the corner of La Roble’s shirt and whispered, “Master, save it, don’t buy pepper, you don’t have much money. I’m done.”

“Oh, is our family running out of money?” Robb never cared about money, he always left it to Lillian to manage it, and he didn’t know how much he had.

Lillian whispered: “We still have ten gold coins in our family, and it’s not a problem to buy something else, but… pepper can’t be bought anymore, this thing is too expensive, comparable to gold, one pound of pepper is enough It takes a pound of gold to buy it, and we’d better save a little now and stop buying such an expensive thing.”
