Chapter 115 Winter Goods Store 5
Ross took it and put it on.
Surprisingly, this down jacket is very thin and light.
It was a long black dress that reached to the knees, but the weight was not noticeable at all.
The most amazing thing is that above the knees, it feels like lying in a soft and comfortable quilt, but below the knees, it feels like winter.
He originally thought his boots were very warm.
Ross was shocked.
He is an expert and can tell just by touching it that Lin Muqiu has picked the best down produced by ferocious animals in summer.
He quickly asked, "Is hunting very prosperous in Ankang Town?"
Otherwise, how could there be so many top-level violent feathers?
Nicole wasn't sure how to describe it, "It's okay."
Lord Ross smiled barely perceptibly.
Oh, it seems to be imported, so the cost must be very high.
The next second, Nicole said, "But their animal training and breeding industries are quite developed. Because animals can easily injure tourists, there's not much prey outside the city. Hunting teams have to travel a long way to hunt, which is quite troublesome."
Duke Ross's smile suddenly froze.
What is top Versailles?
How did Lun Tian get caught off guard and be talked to death?
"That's impossible!" Duke Ross said firmly, "Except for the Imperial Capital, no one can master breeding technology!"
"Why not?" Nicole glanced at him, her expression surprised. "Maybe it's because they're difficult to raise, so now only Lin Muqiu is raising animals on a large scale."
Duke Ross felt as if his three perspectives were shattered.
Large quantities?
Does this mean that the people of Ankang City are also engaged in small-scale breeding?
How could they possibly do that? That was a beast that would escalate into a frenzy during the summer. Even the Duke's guards didn't dare confront it head-on, so how could Ankang Town dare?
Just as he felt his worldview shatter, Marissa handed him a hand warmer and said, "Try this one."
Ross took it and squeezed it tightly. Suddenly, a wave of warmth rushed to his head, and his whole body quickly heated up like a dryer. Although it was winter, it felt like summer.
What’s even more terrifying is that the snow around it melted away!
He was shocked, and even the guards were stunned.
His eyelashes and hair, which had been frozen into ice, had now completely melted. The misty water vapor fell, and beads of water fell on his eyelashes. He wiped them away with his hand, and he was able to open his eyes again.
He looked at Marissa.
His eyes were as clear as a stream, clean and bright, looking at her just like when he was young.
Marissa was stunned for a moment before she turned her head away abruptly. "How?"
"Very, very good." Ross lowered his head, his neck red.
"Well, you have a very good body, so your ability to control the Philosopher's Stone is also very strong."
Ross looked away awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck. "Uh, thanks."
So embarrassing.
It was not just because of Marissa's words, but also because he had just criticized the goods in Ankang Town, but now he was impressed. It was really a slap in the face.
But he really didn't expect that there was such magical magic on this continent.
If this information gets out...
He didn't even dare to imagine what kind of uproar he would encounter.
To save face, he laughed awkwardly a few times: "This thing is really good. Maybe I can't catch up with the magic stone in the north, but as for down jackets, I can definitely catch up with it in the north."
"Want to make a bet?" Marissa smiled.
Duke Ross felt a burning sensation in his heart.
When she was young, she always smiled like that, and was confident and looked down on everything in the business world.
She always won the bets back then.
Ross smiled. "I don't think I'll lose. Northern cotton apparel is of excellent quality and has a solid reputation. There's no need to go far away."
Marissa smiled gently, "Okay, then let my daughter compete with you in business."
"Just her?"
Ross breathed out through his nose, his tone so exaggerated that it changed.
"Just me, what's wrong with that!" Nicole rolled her eyes several times. "You can look down on me, but you can't look down on Master Lin Muqiu behind me, okay!"
Well, here comes another loyal fan of Lin Muqiu.
Ross twitched his lips and smiled gently, "Okay, let's compete then."
It would also let Marissa know that he is the strongest.
To be fair, he was indeed curious about the strength of Ankang Town.
Who was it that led Ankang Town to prosperity?

As trade routes expanded, a batch of new products quickly appeared in Ankang Town.
A crowd gathered around the winter supply store to watch the tailors show off their new products.
[Product 1: Kneepad, made of cashmere, protects knees from cold and wind, 15 copper coins each.]
[Product 2: Snow boots, made of cashmere, keep your feet warm, 60 copper coins each.]
[Product 3: Down quilt, giving you a warm summer, 400 copper coins each, limited to one per person.]
[Staple Food Store Notice: New cold-resistant products available: Spicy hot pot, spicy rabbit head, spicy duck, spicy hot pot, spicy hot pot, spicy grilled fish, mapo tofu, spicy squid, spicy chicken, spicy chicken wings (all with pictures)... Welcome to try them.]
Spicy and delicious, the aroma spreads from ten miles away.
Passerby: What happened? Why are you suddenly hungry?
Elizabeth swallowed hard, "Oh my god, this looks so delicious."
"It's a pity I can't handle spicy food." The husband shook his head, sighed, and handed the silver coin to the window. "Let's buy three sets of down quilts."
Passersby looked at them with envy and sympathy.
I envy Elizabeth's family for making a fortune from the beef jerky business. They don't care about money and can buy several sets of quilts at once.
I feel sorry for him because he can’t even eat spicy food. He must have missed out on a lot of delicious food. How pitiful!
This comparison gave some townspeople a sense of pride: Look, even if we can't afford a down quilt, we can still enjoy one! Honestly, they've been tired of eating smoked and bacon for a while now, so it's time for a change.
So they rushed to the staple food store, walking very fast, as if the spicy and cold-resistant food would be sold out in the next second.
No, it's true.
It will really be sold out.
Ever since the town ran out of fresh meat, all the seats in the staple food shops are now in short supply.
Some people were moved and ran away too.
Some poorer townspeople tried hard to convince themselves, muttering frantically, "Forget it, I've already bought down jackets for the winter, there's no need to buy cold-resistant food."
"Those foods are too expensive. It's more cost-effective to cook for myself. I have to save money."
"Yes, that's right. I'm not greedy at all. I don't want to eat spicy rabbit head, spicy crayfish, shredded pork with hot peppers, or spicy beef hot pot. I don't want to at all. Woo woo, I don't want to, slurp, I don't want to, I'm so hungry, sha~"
The others: “…”
Finished, another crazy one
The people present looked at the poor wallet silently with a look of sorrow on their faces.
Oh no! I just saved some money from the autumn harvest, and now I’m going to lose it all again, right?
Wallet: Just realize it. Yes, that’s right, you don’t want to eat
Legs: I'll take a step forward.
After forcing themselves to endure for half a minute, they silently turned to the staple food store and moved forward stealthily in small steps.
Well, they just smelled it, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Yes, that's right, that's it.
Then……
And then never came back.
Dry Wallet: Traitor!!!

Inside the staple food store.
Elizabeth and her husband toasted in celebration.
She ate one spicy rabbit head at a time, and it was so delicious.
The daughter next to me was a little girl but she was addicted to the food. She was sweating profusely while eating, her mouth full of spicy oil, and she was grunting without stopping to take a single bite.
The husband twitched his lips.
A rabbit head costs 15 copper coins. If their beef jerky business wasn't doing well, they would have gone bankrupt by now!
It hurts.
But he was more worried about his wife's health than spending money. "You've had your period recently, so you need to take care of yourself."
He remembered that his wife had suffered from uterine cold ever since their daughter was born.
"I know." Elizabeth, wearing gloves, handed him the spicy rabbit head. "Try it, it's delicious."
The husband picked up the spicy rabbit head and looked at it left and right, feeling a little embarrassed.
How can it taste good with so many chili peppers stuck on it?
He looked up and saw his daughter struggling with the tender rabbit brains. It was not enough for her to just gnaw on them, she also chewed the meat carefully, not wanting to give up even a little bit of the delicious taste.
My daughter has always been a picky eater, so this is obviously delicious.
The husband gritted his teeth and ate it!
Elizabeth was amused. "Why do you have to act like a hero? Back in the winter in Oez, we were poor and cold. We finally found two chili peppers in the wild, and we ate them for food."
The husband said vaguely, "You don't understand. If that hadn't been a problem back then, I wouldn't have had such a shadow over chili peppers."
Chili peppers, I guess they will burn your stomach and cause pain.
However, the moment he bit the rabbit's head, the husband was stunned.
This spicy and fragrant!
It's not the kind of spicy that makes you feel uncomfortable and want to drink water, but it's numb and fragrant, with layers of spiciness dancing on your taste buds. When you first bite it, you can feel the aroma of soft and rotten meat, and when you bite it again, you can taste the aroma of braised rabbit meat.
The spiciness does not destroy the deliciousness of the ingredients.
He was completely defeated.
Isn't it just 15 copper coins? Worth it!
One after another, he ate with reckless abandon.
Elizabeth: “…”
Who just said that he couldn’t eat spicy food?
After a long time, the two patted their bulging bellies, feeling very satisfied.
So cool!
Although both of them were confused when paying.
How could I have spent all my day's wages?
Fortunately, Lin Muqiu was Elizabeth's boss. He only glanced at the two of them and said helplessly, "I'll give you a 30% discount."
"Thank you, boss!" Elizabeth was extremely excited and gave her husband a proud look.
See? This is the benefit of having someone as powerful as you!
The two happily paid. Elizabeth rubbed her belly, savoring the feeling. "It's so warm! Even my tummy feels warm now!"
The husband was helpless and said, "You mean you want to come and eat next time?"
Elizabeth, who was exposed: "..."
"Tsk," Elizabeth curled her lips, "You're the same!"
Husband: “I don’t deny it.”
Lin Muqiu, who was checking the account book nearby, suddenly looked up when he heard this. "Warming the uterus? Spicy food does help to expel cold and dampness. It does have some effect."
Elizabeth's eyes lit up. "So you should come here more often, right?"
Lin Muqiu: "..."
"You don't have to be so crazy. Overdoing it is not good." Lin Muqiu was speechless. "If you have a cold uterus, you can tie the magic stone around your waist. It can really drive away the cold."
Elizabeth was even happier, "Thank you, sir!"
The husband's eyes lit up, and after thanking her, he hurried home to try again.
Lin Muqiu was left standing there thinking.
So adding some new selling points might help it sell better?
*
Several days passed, and Lin Muqiu was still in the process of planning. However, Nicole was quicker and sent a message:
[Lin Muqiu, help! I'm so stupid! I shouldn't be selling down jackets in the north. Damn, this is so counterintuitive! I thought it would sell well in the north because it's cold, but who would have thought people wouldn't even recognize the down jacket brand from Ankang Town?]
[Alas, no one is buying them at 200 copper coins each. What should I do? Should I lower the price? But then the profit won't be that high.]
[But hand warmers are selling pretty well. Please send more. Remember to send me some delicious food, hehe.]
Lin Muqiu thought for a moment and typed silently: "How about this, you sell it for 1,000 copper coins each."
Nicole: [? ]
Nicole: [Baby, are you crazy? This is even more expensive.]
"Listen to me," Lin Muqiu continued typing, "If you're selling something at 70% off, just say it's an opening promotion. No more waiting. Remember to be a bit cool, just like you are now."
Nicole: [I can do this.]
Nicole: [Wait, isn't this still more expensive?]
Nicole: [No, what do you mean by like me now?]
Lin Muqiu: "Just listen to me, I really won't look for your mother."
On the other side, Nicole rolled her eyes in anger when she saw the dialog box suddenly turn gray.
What do you mean by looking for her mother? Is she a mama's girl? Outrageous!
Why is Lin Muqiu always so vague? Can he have some professional ethics?
Nicole scratched her head and couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried.
No one bought it for 200 copper coins before, and now the actual payment is 300 copper coins. Wouldn’t it be that even fewer people would buy it?
Will this trick work?
When faced with a dilemma, Nicole decided to work hard to overcome it——
"Mother!!!"
