Chapter 76 Tidal Disaster and the Spice Shop
"Ding! The collected money has arrived!"
Lin Muqiu glanced at the system prompt sounds that kept appearing and continued counting the money.
There was a pile of gold coins on the table for her to tap, and the rustling sound was like the sound of clear water flowing in a brook.
Kedero couldn't understand this behavior. "The system won't show any errors, so what are you counting?"
"Do you understand fun?"
Lin Muqiu retorted and continued to calculate the accounts in the small account book.
You can earn 32 silver coins by confiscating a refugee from the city judge. If you collect a few more, won’t you make a lot of money?
She knows how to run a business, she makes small money by earning it and big money by cheating people.
"I say, don't be too sad. The barony is growing bigger day by day, and it's inevitable that there are all kinds of people. It's normal for there to be traitors." Kedro lowered his head and adjusted his sleeves, comforting as if nothing had happened.
Back when he was the mayor, someone betrayed the town and he was heartbroken for a long time before he figured it out.
He had experienced it once, and he didn't want Lin Muqiu to spend so much time to understand it again.
With a hint of "carelessness", he raised his head.
Lin Muqiu had a smug smile on her lips, and the dazzling light of the gold coins was reflected in her pupils. Every time she counted a gold coin, the light flickered like a lighthouse, full of desire for gold coins.
Kedero:?
Why is this a little different from what he imagined?
He twitched his lips.
Ordinary people will feel disappointed when others betray them, while cheaters will only worry about not making enough money. Is this the disparity in the world?
He doesn't need to worry about this.
Lin Muqiu hummed a song, feeling cheerful. "Whenever something happens, I'll use my magic to monitor the town, then use the Civilian Academy to load the data, have Yun Yi search for keywords, and ultimately identify the target. Since it can be solved perfectly, why should I be sad?"
There was a surging momentum in Kedero's heart.
Why is her way of solving problems always so simple and crude yet effective?
And what the hell are data loading and keyword search?
Could it be that she is the creator of the world?

Ankang Town, someone's home.
"Damn it."
The people in the town who had stored more than seventy bags of salt had hidden hatred in their eyes.
In order to buy salt, he spent more than a month's living expenses, and even quarreled with Elizabeth's family to stock up on salt, just to wait for the price to rise and make a big profit.
Who would have thought that Lin Muqiu would suddenly appear.
Not only that, Lin Muqiu also said that after the seasoning store officially opens, the price will be reduced so that the residents of the town can completely get rid of the trouble of being charged for salt.
Wouldn't the price of the salt he stockpiled continue to drop?!
"Should I take a gamble, betting that she is cheating me, and then sell the salt when the price goes up, or should I give up early and sell the salt at a low price now?" He kept pacing, talking to himself.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, took thirty bags of salt, went out and prepared to sell them.
All eggs should not be put in one basket, so that no matter whether the price of salt rises or falls, he will not lose all his money.
However, as soon as he arrived at the snack street, his heart sank.
I saw many people selling salt on the street, looking sad.
And these people were the ones who had previously snatched up salt.
He asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
The others said nothing, but silently pointed to the ice screen of the street public notice. On it were written evidence of various people's treason, indicating that those people were the ones who spread the rumors.
In the face of solid evidence, rumors will naturally fall apart.
In addition, Lin Muqiu was going to open a seasoning store, and the sea crabs he made would still have the effect of replenishing salt. The other townspeople were naturally relieved and stopped hoarding salt, just waiting for the seasoning store to lower the price later.
Seeing that the trend was not right, many people who had rushed to buy salt naturally wanted to cut their losses in time and sell off the salt they had stockpiled.
But large amounts of salt piling into the market will only make it increasingly difficult to sell.
Sure enough, after shouting for a while, his voice was almost hoarse.
Just as it was difficult to get salt in the past, it is just as difficult to buy salt now.
As expected, some money cannot be earned. Thinking about how he thought Lin Muqiu was incapable of controlling these things, he wanted to slap himself in the face.
Lin Muqiu did not issue a policy to limit the purchase of salt, which proved that she knew the situation well. How dare he do that?
What made him even more embarrassed was that Elizabeth and her family passed by his stall.
Elizabeth's husband laughed and said, "Your salt is quite good. Why, the price was twice as high as it is today, only two days ago. Who would have thought it would drop so quickly?"
Seeing that he looked unhappy but had to sell the product, Elizabeth and her family were in a good mood.
Damn it, the person who made this kind of money to relieve the disaster deserves it!
She had been wondering why the salt in the town was selling so quickly, but it turned out that someone was deliberately hoarding salt!
I believe that after this experience, they will no longer seek profit by disrupting the order of the town.

Town Center.
"Lord Lin, I heard that you need salt, is that right?" Jacob asked Lin Muqiu nervously.
Ever since he coveted Nicole's business profits last time, he has been keeping an eye on Ankang Town, secretly looking for opportunities to make money.
Finally, he got what he was waiting for!
"The town is not short of salt." Lin Muqiu smiled and shattered his dream.
Jacob looked shocked and incredulous.
How is that possible?
Wasn’t Ankang Town short of salt a few days ago?
After hearing the news, he took a leave of absence from Imperial Capital College and came here specially!
As for the fact that the town has no shortage of salt, Lin Muqiu thought that this was of course a lie. Before the town could produce salt independently, no matter how much salt there was, it was never too much.
But any deal that involves taking risks is not a good one, and she knows this very well.
So she smiled and said, "But as for business, I welcome it. I guess you want to buy goods from me?"
"Yeah!" Jacob nodded vigorously after his thoughts were touched. "After hearing the news, I stockpiled a lot of salt, just to exchange it with you for various specialties of Ankang Town. Now I only have salt on hand. I wonder if you are willing to exchange it?"
"Okay."
Lin Muqiu nodded with a reserved look, her heart filled with joy.
This is exactly what she was waiting for!
She remained calm as she took the initiative, silently classifying Jacob as a clear-headed and foolish college student, and smiled gently, "Okay, I don't mind if it means making more friends."
Jacob scratched his head, said thank you, and felt a little embarrassed.
I didn’t expect her to be such a nice person!
Lin Muqiu smiled brightly and continued to talk. "Wait until the Ankang Town Chamber of Commerce is established. You can talk to them directly. Since you and I have cooperated before, they won't need to review your qualifications."
Although the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce had not yet begun, Jacob was still stunned by the pie.
He nodded repeatedly and discussed the exchange with Lin Muqiu.
Soon, they finalized the deal to exchange crab meat pot for salt.
Seeing Jacob leave happily, Lin Muqiu raised the corners of his lips.
Although this is the 43rd person who smelled the business opportunity and did business with her today, she doesn't feel tired at all!
In the past, she might have asked Mario to help her with these small businesses, but in order to set up the Chamber of Commerce, she decided to do it herself!
There are three conditions for establishing a chamber of commerce:
1. The number of transactions with other townspeople or chambers of commerce must be no less than 2,000.
2. Have no less than 300 products or specialties that are best-selling in mainland China.
2. The number of shops exceeds 85% of the town’s coverage rate.
After these days of hard work, I finally achieved items 1 and 2!
With so many people doing business with her, any one of those seafood items could be considered a specialty, and it would completely fall within the rules!
The third one is the most difficult.
This requires that almost all townspeople must be wealthy businessmen; small vendors are not acceptable. It also places very high demands on town planning, but how can ordinary cities afford such a large amount of money and energy?
The third one was almost entirely tailor-made for the dukes.
Maybe others can’t do it, but Ankang Town can, because Ankang Town is taking the route of a tourist town.
Once the tidal disaster is over and the special sauce is available, the town will be able to do it more or less.
Therefore, the most important thing is to solve the tidal disaster.
Lin Muqiu thought to himself.

"So why is Lin Muqiu not worried about the tidal disaster at all?"
Louis paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, muttering to himself.
Every once in a while, he would sit down, pick up the spicy crayfish peeled by the servant and eat it in one gulp to relieve his anxiety.
It seemed as if he had forgotten that he originally wanted to use crabs and crayfish to clamp Lin Muqiu.
As a result, Ankang Town failed to catch the crayfish, but he was so greedy for crayfish that he couldn't walk!
The servants beside them had their hands covered in grease and looked at each other in silence.
Isn't the answer in your hands?!
Because Lin Muqiu can take advantage of natural disasters!
The scary crayfish in the eyes of others is just a dish in Lin Muqiu's eyes.
Louis continued to ponder, gasping from the spicy food. "The tidal disaster will bring a lot of fish. Some can light up lights, and some can secretly bite through the city walls underwater, causing them to leak. Isn't Lin Muqiu worried? But why doesn't she take any action?"
After all, the day is approaching, but Lin Muqiu has no intention of repairing the city wall.
Could it be that she didn't understand? That's impossible.
What evil is this person plotting?
The servants looked at each other, and inexplicably had a strange premonition.
They felt that Lin Muqiu would make these fish into special dishes.
"Sir," someone finally stood up and offered Louis some advice, "Have you forgotten Lin Muqiu's animal taming manual? Perhaps she knows a lot about these fish. If we want to trip her up, we can only start with the tidal calamity itself. After all, she has no control over it."
Start with the Tidal Scourge itself?
Louis savored these words carefully.
After a long time, he relaxed his brows and nodded heavily.
Yes, wouldn't it be best if we could make the wind and waves even bigger?!
Even if Ankang Town has thousands of strategies, it can do nothing about natural disasters!
Killing someone with a borrowed knife is the best trick.
