It was bearable from a distance, but once you walked in, the stench of feces was so overwhelming that even breathing became difficult.
[System, do you have any masks? Give me some.]
[Yes, I give it to you.]
Now when Jun Shutong asks the system to buy things, she no longer asks the price.
She couldn't afford the expensive ones, such as modern cutting-edge technology. If she could afford them, the system would directly quote the price and encourage her to buy them.
For some reason, ever since the system broke away from the control of the space, it no longer quotes prices when selling things. If it is within the host's ability, it will directly deduct the crystals and take the items out, which seems more humane.
Only after putting on the three-layer mask did Jun Shutong feel a little better.
She also thought about giving the masks to her subordinates, but she gave up the idea because she thought it would take a lot of time to explain.
The two guards also frowned and covered their mouths and noses with their hands.
At the market, there are cattle, sheep, horses, pigs, dogs, donkeys, chickens, ducks, geese and all kinds of poultry.
Jun Shutong came to the area where cattle were sold. Water buffaloes, oxen, cows, and calves were tied to wooden stakes.
"Boss, what's the price of this scalper?"
Hearing the voices, the boss was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew that these people were from other places. He immediately introduced them with a smile:
"Sir, you are not from here, are you? You have come to the right place to buy cattle from me."
"My family has been selling cattle for generations, so our reputation is undeniable. Since you are our first customers today, I will sell this ox cheaply. I will give it to you for 800 gold coins."
"Eight... eight hundred gold coins?"
"Boss, are you sure the price is right?"
[This cow costs 800 gold coins?]
The guard was so shocked that he stuttered. Jun Shutong was secretly shocked, but she felt relieved when she thought of the price of rice. It couldn't be that one thing was expensive and the others were cheap. That would be too wrong.
The boss glared, his face immediately darkened, and he said coldly:
"I'm doing serious business here, why would I randomly quote prices?"
"I've been selling it at this price for several months. If you don't believe me, you can go ask around and see if I'm lying to you."
"Young man, buy a yellow ox in its prime for eight hundred gold coins, and you'll only make money."
This price has been sold for several months, which means it was cheaper before.
Seeing that the few people were silent, the boss felt that the business was going to fail, and wanted to keep this business, so he hurriedly said:
"Look, that calf in the back is cheap, only three hundred gold coins, but you'll have to raise it for several years after you buy it. The labor and fodder alone will be much more expensive than this yellow ox."
"This yellow cattle can be used to work in the fields after purchase, and can be rented out to neighbors when not in use. Isn't it a good deal?"
It turned out that the boss mistook them for farmers.
Jun Shutong looked at the calf at the back, which was snuggling next to the cow. The cow had a big belly and was obviously about to give birth.
"Boss, how much is this cow?" Jun Shutong asked.
Seeing that it was this little girl asking about the price, the boss just glanced at her. Hearing that it was a girl's voice, he ignored her and turned to the two guards to continue introducing:
"I'm not selling cows. If you think oxen are expensive, there are also buffaloes, but they're not much cheaper, 720 gold coins."
The two guards were a little dissatisfied. What do you mean the cow is not for sale? Then why are you putting it together with these cows?
"Boss, I want to buy your cow. How much is it?"
It was this girl talking again, and the boss was a little angry. He said he didn't want to sell it, so why was he still asking?
He felt that these people were just here to cause trouble.
"Boss, my master wants to buy your cow. Please name a price. If the price is fair and reasonable, we can consider it."
What, this girl is the master of these two people?
The boss's mind raced, and he immediately put on a flattering smile and said:
"Since you're sincere about buying, I'll give you 2,000 gold coins. I'm not making any money, so I'll just consider it a favor to you all."
The two guards were completely petrified. Jun Shutong curled his lips, feeling that this boss was even more evil than the people of the Fujiwara family.
"Boss, have the prices here always been this high?"
"To be honest, I've been to Kazakhstan before, and the prices there are way different than they are now."
The boss was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the girl had actually been there.
He sighed, and his mercenary expression disappeared, and he said with a sad look:
"Miss, you don't know, this price wasn't here before."
"Just take this yellow ox, for example. Six months ago, it was 200 gold coins each. The calf only costs 50 gold coins, and the cow is only 300 gold coins."
“Then why is the increase so rapid?”
"We don't know either. Not only have livestock prices skyrocketed, but also white rice, fine salt, brown rice, cloth, ironware... all have doubled or tripled in price."
"Especially ironware. Ordinary people can't buy it at all. The government has already taken control of ironware for two months."
Jun Shutong was shocked and felt a chill down his spine. The two guards felt the same way.
If they hadn't covered their mouths and noses, the boss would have noticed something was wrong with them.
"Sorry, boss, we are all farmers. Even if we have a little money, we can't afford your price. Sorry to bother you."
The boss waved his hand and asked them to leave. They were asking so many questions without any intention of buying, which was a waste of his time.
"Let's split up now and inquire about the prices of various items. We'll meet at the city gate in an hour."
"yes."
The two guards went in the east and west directions respectively, and Jun Shutong found the nearest blacksmith shop and went in.
"In the shop, there was a lot of noise and five or six people were busy and sweating, not noticing someone approaching."
