Seeing Chuanhe's indescribable expression, Lin Fuxia chuckled and stopped talking about it. Instead, he asked, "What kind of store are you planning to open?"
Chuanhe said: "Open a snack shop."
"Ah?" Lin Fuxia was a little surprised by this answer.
Chuanhedao said, "I've discovered that the food in the game is very crude. Players will naturally feel hungry in the game, and then they have to buy this food to eat. It's really..."
Chuanhe said this and looked at the rough steamed bun in Lin Fuxia's hand.
Lin Fuxia: “…” The steamed bun in his hand, which didn’t taste good to begin with, became even harder to swallow.
She sighed, "That's true. I've been eating at nearly every restaurant, bakery, and breakfast shop in the city these past few days in the game, and there's nothing good I've found. Some of the food could even be described as dark cuisine. Not only is it unpalatable, but it also takes a long time to restore my health. But I can't not eat it."
Chuanhe smiled and said, "So I plan to open a small snack shop, selling both dine-in items, such as noodles and wontons, and also easy-to-carry steamed buns and sesame cakes."
Lin Fuxia's eyes lit up: "If it tastes good, I'll come here to eat every day."
Spending half of the day in games and being tortured by food every day would make the fun less.
You know, the selling point of many games is that you can eat all kinds of delicious food in the game. It is cheap and you don’t have to worry about gaining weight!
Chuanhedao said, "I have a relative who works in the restaurant industry. He found that preparing food in New World is pretty much the same as preparing it in real life." The only problem is that the food variety in the game is too limited, and the seasonings are difficult to gather. "If all goes well, we'll be open tomorrow. You're welcome to come and patronize us then."
"Of course!"
Chuanhe asked again: "Why are you here..."
Lin Fuxia said, "This is the cheapest place in the city for rent and land. I'm also thinking of buying a shop and opening a store."
She didn't intend to let anyone know that she was the owner of Shuangxia Pharmacy. Although she got along well with Chuanhe, she didn't understand him after all.
Moreover, a man in his thirties is not a naive young man. In the world of adults, interests are the most important thing. Only a fool would open up to someone.
After talking to Chuanhe for a few more words, Lin Fuxia said goodbye to him and continued walking forward, thinking that he would have to go back and forth around here in the future. Since he didn't want people to know about his relationship with Shuangxia Pharmacy, he had to find a shield.
It's really time to find another business.
It should cost little and not require too much effort.
Lin Fuxia took stock of what he had now.
A lot of equipment dropped by killing monsters these days are all for level ten or so, and Lin Fuxia can't use them now.
It takes up space in the backpack, so it’s better to sell it. No, sell it to benefit new players.
She did what she said and immediately started looking for a store location. Then she went to the Executive Hall and bought a house two blocks away from the pharmacy.
This house was originally for people to live in, but as long as the door was modified, it could be turned into a store. She also asked someone to make a lot of cabinets and put all the things in her backpack into them.
Shields, trousers, knee pads, daggers, short swords, staffs, arrows, as well as various herbs and refining materials.
A piece of iron ore was placed in the C position, which was the reward obtained in the Xishan Iron Mine mission. Although it was just an ordinary piece of iron ore, it was a reward after all, and it was different from the others. She decided to temporarily keep it as the store's treasure.
Finally, hang up the business sign.
An inconspicuous but formal store with complete procedures was freshly launched.
Lin Fuxia came to the door and looked up at the plaque above: Fugui Grid Shop.
A sign on the left reads: Various equipment for you to choose
A sign on the right says: Consignment welcome, price set by yourself
Haha, she opened a grid shop in the game, she is so fashionable!
The last step is to find someone to look after the store.
She didn't want to be trapped by this shop.
Just when she was thinking about who to hire, she suddenly heard a prompt
[System prompt] Your shop "Shuangxia Pharmacy" has made the first batch of primary blood recovery pills.
Lin Fuxia was stunned. Is there a hint for this?
She quickly closed the grid shop and rushed to the drugstore.
When she got here, the whole pharmacy was filled with joy. Seeing her coming, Ron said excitedly: "Boss Xia, the medicine is ready!"
Lin Fuxia entered the room where the medicine furnace was located.
In an earthen oven, people were carefully taking out a medicine pot. There was already a medicine pot opened next to it, with twenty round pills placed inside. The aroma of medicine filled the entire room.
Lin Fuxia picked up a pill.
【Primary Blood Recovery Pills:
Quality: Gold
Effect: One pill restores 15 HP. A maximum of 10 pills can be taken within one hour.
Lin Fuxia couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, it had been upgraded again!
The upgraded version of the blood-recovering pill that Village Chief Bai sent me before can only restore 12 points of health per pill.
Now it has become 15 o'clock!
She looked at the two women from Baishan Village and asked, "Is the medicine we make this time any different from the medicine you make in the village?"
The woman shook her head. "Nothing is different, but it seems to be better this time."
Then it shouldn't be a labor problem. Could it be because this time it was done in a pharmacy?
Could this have an additive effect?
At this moment, another pot of medicine was taken out. Lin Fuxia put a cloth in his hand and opened the lid himself.
At that moment, the strong fragrance of medicine hit his face, and Lin Fuxia had only one feeling: comfortable!
Although the fragrance of this medicine cannot restore blood volume, this kind of comfort is also very refreshing. It is like smelling the refreshing fragrance of flowers, coming to a grassland with fresh air, and having a full body massage.
Wonderful!
Looking at the other people present, they all looked even more intoxicated.
Lin Fuxia was enjoying herself, but she was also a little puzzled. If all these people were so happy, why hadn't her "Compassionate Heart" mission been completed yet? It was stuck at 80%.
Lin Fuxia enjoyed it for a while before looking at the medicine in the furnace. There were also twenty pills, each of which was of the same quality as before.
She was very happy and said "OK" three times in a row.
“How many pills can be produced in a day?”
Ron quickly said, "One oven can only bake two batches of medicine at a time, and each batch takes four hours." He calculated, "That's 240 pills a day."
This includes the night hours, so there must be people working here 24 hours a day.
But as long as the shifts are reasonable, it is not impossible to process at night.
She said, "Let's build two more ovens." One oven was too little. "Put these pills in boxes, five pills a box."
Because the bottles had to be purchased separately, even the most ordinary ceramic bottles cost one or two copper coins each. Since Lin Fuxia was not very wealthy at the time, he just asked his people to make a small wooden box to store the medicine.
Ron quickly responded.
Lin Fuxia was thinking that it was time to open the medicine shop. Someone came to the shop in front. It was a very smart and thin girl. Her name was Yaya. She said, "Boss Xia, there are a few people at the door. They said they want to sell medicine."
Lin Fuxia: “?”
She hasn't even sold the medicine yet, and someone comes to her house to sell it to her?
She asked, "Is he from another world?"
"Yes, they said they had antidote pills and asked if the pharmacy would accept them. Should we let them go?"
Lin Fuxia: “…” Why does this plot seem familiar?
Were those people fresh out of the rookie mission? Were they getting the antidote pills from digging spider legs? Or even, were they licked?
Her face turned rather strange when she thought of this.
Since the other party was also a player, it was not appropriate for her to show up directly. She asked the dressmaker to quickly sew a face towel for her, and asked Ron to deal with it while she watched from the back of the shop.
…
Zhang Zhao and his group of seven had just come out of the dungeon. That dungeon for new players was really a bummer. Fortunately, they had read the strategy guide posted by old players on the forum in advance, and they were able to complete the four levels relatively smoothly.
Moreover, because they live in the alliance and are used to doing heavy and tiring work, they can pass the test quite quickly.
So the rewards are pretty good.
Seven people, each received a basic detoxification pill, one pill per person.
According to the guide, this thing is quite expensive.
There are seven or eight pharmacies in Andif City. The purchase price given by each pharmacy is different, and the purchase price varies from person to person and from time to time. If you are lucky, you can sell one for three or four gold coins. If you are unlucky or don’t know the business and get cheated, you can only sell one for a few silver coins.
Zhang Zhao and his friends are all poor people, and they are even waiting to make money from the game to support their families. Naturally, they hope to sell it at a high price. If they can sell one for three gold coins, that would be more than two hundred yuan!
After discussion, they decided to go to the pharmacy that was said to offer the highest price. In order to negotiate this deal, they even spent money to go to a bathhouse, wash themselves clean, and change into new clothes.
Because the guide says that the better you dress, the higher the chance of selling it at a high price.
But as I was walking, I heard that there was a new pharmacy here called Shuangxia Pharmacy.
It seemed that this pharmacy had not offered a price yet, so they came over to ask first, what if this pharmacy could offer a higher price?
However, the further they walked towards this side, the more they felt that their hopes were dashed, because this area looked very poor. The dilapidated houses and the thin and small people passing by in the alleys did not show that this was a poor area.
It's pretty much the same as where they live.
Therefore, the shops opened here should not be wealthy shops.
After all, in reality, the places where they live are full of small-scale shops, and there are even many unscrupulous shops.
But since I'm here, I might as well take a look.
Soon, they saw a house that was particularly different from the others. It was two houses connected together, with a very wide frontage and two floors. It was obviously newly renovated, and compared with the low and dilapidated houses around it, it was very imposing.
The storefront on the right has a plaque with the words "Shuangxia Pharmacy" hanging on it. The four characters are very grand and beautiful.
The seven people walked to the door and were a little stunned. Why did it seem like business hadn't started here yet?
A thin little girl was watching the counter while wiping it. When she saw so many people appear, she was stunned for a moment and asked from the doorway, "What can I do for you?"
Zhang Zhao asked politely, "Does your pharmacy sell detoxification pills?"
"Anti-dote pills?" The little girl looked at them and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask."
As he said that, he called another child to guard the door and ran in.
Soon, a lame, thin, malnourished middle-aged man came out, smiled and invited them in, and then said he wanted to see the detoxification pills in their hands.
At this point, the seven people had already given up hope.
Everyone in this pharmacy looks malnourished and definitely can't afford to pay.
But they remained quiet. Poor people like them naturally would not laugh at other poor people.
In fact, in reality, they are not much better than the lame man in front of them.
Luo En carefully examined the seven pills and, as Lin Fuxia had instructed, inquired about their origins. Then he asked, "Have you never taken these pills before?"
Zhang Zhao hurriedly said, "No, no, we haven't eaten it."
Ron took a pill, put it on the tray, and said he would ask the boss.
Lin Fuxia looked at these people from behind. Their lips were blue and they looked very weak. It was probably because they did not take the antidote after the Warcraft Forest level. They were not like her who received the upgrade reward and got rid of the negative status.
She looked at the pills Ron brought again and found that they were indeed the original antidote pills.
She said, "Ask them what price they want to sell it for."
Ron was a little surprised, but he still went over to ask obediently.
Zhang Zhao and the other seven looked at each other. Zhang Zhao closed his eyes and said what he had prepared: "Four gold coins for one."
This is the highest price mentioned on the forum.
Then, Lin Fuxia raised her eyebrows. When she went to sell the detoxification pills, the clerk in the drug store offered her eight gold coins for each pill.
She quickly searched the forum and found that four gold coins was the highest price ever paid by a player.
Either the person who actually sold it at a high price hasn't spoken out, or the price of the detoxification pills has been reduced, or all the players have been forced to lower their prices.
As for why her price wasn't lowered, maybe it has something to do with her prestige in all fields?
Having said that, because of the turmoil in the middle, Empire players collectively abandoned the game. So far, there are not many players who have passed the rookie copy, and even fewer people who go to sell medicine. The possibility of collective price pressure exists.
Or, make a profit from the difference?
She would have to wait until she went to the pharmacy to ask about the price.
"Mr. Xia, what do you think?" Ron asked.
Lin Fuxia was about to speak when another group of people came outside the pharmacy.
Lin Fuxia took a look and thought, what a coincidence! Isn't it the "big family" that came from Baishan Village together?
Are you here to sell medicine again?
When I asked, it turned out that he was not there, but came to buy medicine.
Yang Song looked around the shop and saw that the shelves were empty. He was a little disappointed, but he still asked politely, "Do you sell medicine here? The kind that restores health and mana?"
Nowadays, everyone has fragile skin. I feel uneasy if I don’t have some medicine like this on hand.
There seems to be no concept of "blue" in "New World" at present, and "blood" refers to health value. If the blood is lost, you will die. The blood volume of 110 at level 10 really makes people feel insecure.
"Yes." A voice sounded from the shop. Everyone looked and saw a woman with a muscular figure, wearing cloth clothes, leather wrist guards, and high-soled boots walking out.
Her face was covered with a veil, making it difficult to see her appearance, but her eyes were very bright, giving people an inexplicable sense of familiarity (the system comes with a template, how could it not look familiar?).
She first said to Zhang Zhao and the other seven, "Please take a seat first."
The seven people had no objection. After all, they were there to sell things, while others were there to buy things.
Moreover, they didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after entering this store, they felt a lot more relaxed. They were originally in a state of poisoning and felt very uncomfortable, but after coming in, they felt much more comfortable.
They didn't mind staying here a little longer.
Lin Fuxia turned around and looked at Yang Song and the others, and said with a smile: "Our store sells primary blood recovery pills."
She offered them a blood-restoring pill and asked them to look at its properties.
Soon, Yang Song and the others saw the properties of the medicine.
Everyone is very happy.
One pill of this medicine can restore 15 points of health, which is too powerful. You should know that according to the forum, there is currently no pharmacy selling blood-restoring medicine. The only blood-restoring item is a bandage, which is dropped by monsters and the drop rate is very low.
Bandages are for wounds.
This family doesn't know how to play games. They're all just whiteboards. Are they going to kill monsters just for bandages? You're overthinking it.
However, this blood-restoring pill has no restrictions or requirements for use, which is just right for them. Restoring 15 points of blood with one pill is also very good.
Yang Song asked hurriedly: "How much is this?"
Lin Fuxia has already thought of the price. Anyway, the current production of blood-recovering pills is low, and it is impossible to adopt the path of small profits but quick turnover, especially since he is the only one in the blood-recovering market.
She continued to smile, holding up the butcher knife: "Chenghui, one for fifteen gold."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent, whether they were buying or selling medicine, or the seven people watching on the side, they all had the same thought: Damn, this is so expensive!
The author has something to say:
I think the price of 15 gold is reasonable. If it is more expensive, it will be too exaggerated. If it is too cheap, it will be a waste of the good opportunity of exclusive business. It will be reduced in the future.
