[Chapter 47 Buying Pepper in Five Days]
“That’s not good!” Robb shook his head and said, “Pepper is a necessary seasoning for a series of dishes such as steak, chicken chop, pork chop, and lamb chop. Without this, our family’s limited recipes would have to be reduced in variety. Well, I don’t want it! For me, eating is the top priority, more important than conquering the world. I want to eat a variety of dishes, and all kinds of condiments are essential.”
Lilian said pitifully: “Even if No matter how important food is to you, you have to have money! If you don’t have money, you can only eat potato bread.”
Then come to think of making money. Robb walked to the back of a nearby dwelling with a piece of silk, and turned around after a while. When he came out, what he was holding turned into a silk robe that glowed with blue light. He walked up to the dwarf merchant, took out the robe, and said with a smile, “Mr. gnome, are you interested in buying this piece? Clothes?”
“Wow!” The dwarf merchant found a loud exclamation: “This is really a good robe, the workmanship is not ordinary, coupled with the bright blue light, it shows that It has a very powerful spell-enhancing enchantment… No mage or priest can resist its temptation.”
Robb laughed: “Then how much are you going to pay for it?”
“Uh! I’m very sorry, although it’s great, I Don’t dare to buy this thing.” The dwarf merchant said with an embarrassed expression: “Your clothes are worth at least a hundred gold coins, but as you can see, I’m just a small businessman selling daily necessities. The biggest single transaction is the ten pieces of silk you just bought, but I only made two or three gold coins from that transaction, because the purchase price of silk is very expensive, and I smashed it in my hand after I purchased it. It will take half a year to sell. As for the other commodities, such as salt, cotton, etc., I can only earn a few copper coins and silver coins… I would not dare to buy commodities worth 100 gold coins, otherwise, If I can’t sell it in my hands, I will go bankrupt because of the lack of liquidity.”
Robb thought to himself: Oh! And such a thing?
Well, it seems that although I have the ability to make incomparable equipment, I may not be able to sell it.
The real world is not a game. There is an auction house in the game, and players on the entire server can easily buy your things from the auction house, but in the real world, sales channels will limit the sale of your goods.
The robes you just made may be wanted by many rich second-generation mages, but where are these rich second-generation people? I can’t find it myself.
This is the status quo in the Middle Ages. Producers and buyers cannot connect, and the circulation of commodities is extremely inconvenient.
Of course, Robb can also use a flying technique to fly to a big city, and he can easily find a rich second generation or a big businessman. After finding out the specific location of the big city, he can even use the teleportation technique very conveniently. Back and forth (it is set in the game that only cities that have been visited can be used to travel back and forth, and places that have not been visited cannot be teleported).
But that’s not in the spirit of “lazy”! If he is flying around the world in order to make a little money, what is the difference between him and doing “delivery tasks” in the game?
No matter how much money you make in that way, it can only be called hard-earned money and errand money, which will be severely spurned by the spirit of laziness!
Is there any way to make money lazily?
Robb spread his hands and said, “What’s your favorite thing to buy?” The
dwarf businessman smiled and said, “It’s something that everyone can afford, need it, and it’s easy for me to transport, for example, pepper! The materials necessary for growing high-end dishes are very expensive and profitable, and they sell very quickly. The rich people in major towns like to buy some of them, and this thing is easy to transport. If I can buy it at a lower price , put on a few big carts, and you can easily sell them all in no time… For example, you really want to buy, don’t you?”
Rob was happy: “I wanted to sell you something to change peppers, but you said that what you wanted was Pepper, isn’t this trying to tease me? As far as I know, pepper is not produced in the West at all, and this thing has to be shipped from the East, so it’s more expensive than gold. You’re talking about buying it here, it’s just bullshit.”
“Don’t dare!” The dwarf businessman said respectfully: “No one dares to tease a priest, I just say what I want to say.”
“Okay, now I know what to do.” Robb asked with a smile: “How many days will you stay in Westwind?”
“Five days!” The dwarf merchant smiled and said, “I will stay in every town. Five days, and then leave for the next town.”
“Five days? Very good!” Robb smiled: “Five days later, before you leave Westwind Town, come to my church and prepare the money to buy pepper, I It will make you a lot of money.” The
dwarf merchant said respectfully: “Okay, then I will definitely visit on time.”
Robb said: “By the way, before you come to me to buy pepper, sell it to me first. A handful of peppercorns.”
“Huh?” The businessman almost suspected that he had heard it wrong: “My father, you just said that you would sell me pepper in five days, why are you buying pepper now? My purchase price is better than the sale price. The price is much lower, if you buy pepper from me now, and sell it back to me in five days, you will only lose a lot of money.”
Robb smiled: “I love to spend money all my life. This is called purifying all beings.”
Lilian felt embarrassed beside her, the master was indeed a master who likes to throw money away. Ever since she helped the master to manage the accounts, she found out that the master loves to mess around, and he is very particular about the food he eats. The clothes he wears are also particular, with several sets being changed in turn, but also in different styles, forcing his servant to follow him in dressing up and playing.
Moreover, the owner is super lazy, and he is too lazy to do anything by himself. If he has to take out the money and ask someone to pick the fruit he can pick by himself, he can easily go out and walk around the town. I have to pay a townsman to do it.
And he also has a quirk. The things he asks people to do must be written on the cloth and posted in the town, with the euphemistic name: “Posting the task.” According to him, this is very fun, saying that it is anti-customer-oriented, anyway, it is a mess. Incomprehensible bullshit.
Now the owner has started to play with new demon moths again. He actually wants to buy pepper and sell it back to the merchant after five days. Is this a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?
Lillian hurriedly hung up Robb’s sleeve and said anxiously, “Master, what are you doing here? We really don’t have much money.”
Robb smiled and said, “Don’t worry, your master just suddenly remembered In the game I played before, there is an additional mini-game, Happy Farm Dark Blade Edition, hahahaha!”
