Chapter 92 Price Reduction
Lu Jiu has seen that there are more and more rewards for city-state resources recently. Now, people become permanent residents almost every day. However, they are all professional players at present, and ordinary residents have not yet become permanent residents.
Lu Jiu: "Although the colorful spiders are good, this is too much. I still want to collect some meat. Let's go to the Hundred Fruit Forest tomorrow. There are groups of 3-5 wild boar bosses there. It can be used as a place for several cities to obtain a lot of meat."
Back then, there was only one wild boar boss, and several nearby city-states were fighting for it. Now, brown iron-level wild monsters are rampant, and ordinary-level bosses are starting to appear in groups.
When Shen Jufeng heard about wild boars, he seemed to recall their deliciousness. "In addition to wild boars, there are also many small fragrant pigs of the brown iron level. Let's go there tomorrow."
Lu Jiu hasn't been to the Hundred Fruit Forest since returning from Jinghe District, and no one has mentioned wild monsters other than the colorful spiders recently.
They were all dazzled by the colorful spider.
"Little sweet pig! I want to eat barbecue now. Let's go there tomorrow."
It can be said that the professional residents of the past few city-states have been focusing on killing colorful spiders recently, and the Fruit Forest has rarely been visited, or no one has even mentioned it.
Lu Jiu checked his backpack and saw that he still had some meat from killing the wild boar. He suggested, "I still have a lot of sausages and some meat. Let's have barbecue tonight."
Zhuang Yun: "I still have some left. I asked Mr. Zeng to make sausages for me to extend their shelf life. They're delicious, but sometimes I still want to eat fresh ones."
The three of them decided on the dinner content without any objection.
Back in the city, Lu Jiu took the colorful spider eggs given to him by his other two teammates and went to find Old Man Zeng and his grandson.
After they moved to the residential area, Old Man Zeng was extremely envious. If the colorful spider wasn't so high level, he would have wanted to go out and try his luck himself.
After confirming that colorful spiders can be bred, Lu Jiu and others contacted Old Man Zeng and traded with them privately, but Old Man Zeng followed the standard transaction price in the city.
Because the three of them obtained too many colorful spider eggs, Lu Jiu intended to let Old Man Zeng become the wholesaler of colorful spider eggs in the rented house.
The grandfather and grandson could only raise about a hundred of them a week, and the rest were sold to others at a markup of 15-30 copper coins.
“Dongdong——”
When Old Man Zeng heard the knock on the door, he asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Lu Jiu."
Hearing that it was Lu Jiu, Tang Yi opened the door immediately. Thanks to Lu Jiu, their family had accumulated a lot of wealth in recent days, so it was no problem for them to buy a house in a residential area.
"Ninth sister, come in quickly." Tang Yi called her Ninth sister just like An An.
After Lu Jiu came in, he got straight to the point and took out more than a hundred colorful spider eggs. They could kill more than a hundred colorful spiders in a day.
Because it is so easy to obtain, the professional players in the city who wanted to stock up at first gave up. The effective hatching time of colorful spider eggs is originally 3 months.
"Mr. Zeng, these are today's tickets. There are 146 of them in total, and the total price is 18,250 copper coins."
They have been doing business for quite a while, and everyone envied the fact that Old Man Zeng, who only had a grandson, had good relationships with several professional residents and was willing to supply him with goods.
Old man Zeng also came out of the house. The room was a little cold. He handed the small heater to Lu Jiu and said, "Warm it up quickly. I, the old man, haven't started using the fire yet."
There is a fire channel in every room. Nowadays, the houses where residents live have mezzanines, and there are fire channel openings for burning firewood, which can allow heat to fill the entire house in all directions.
Lu Jiu took the small heater and saw Tang Yi holding one in his hand. The cover covering the heater was made by An An.
After paying for the heater, Old Man Zeng went to his room to get the money. In the spirit of not putting all your eggs in one basket, many residents had several places to put their money.
When they came out, Old Man Zeng gave Lu Jiu 18 silver coins and 250 copper coins. "Oh, 250 is too bad. Add 10 more."
Lu Jiu just smiled and didn't refuse.
After collecting the money, Lu Jiu said, "Mr. Zeng, you know the price of silk at the mission hall has dropped. From now on, the price of these spider eggs will also drop. Starting tomorrow, they will be 90 copper coins each."
Mr. Zeng knew about this. The price of this silk thread was reduced today. The city lord said that the silk thread was too saturated, so he took the price reduction measure. However, the lowest price of the colorful spider silk thread was set at 1 silver coin, which was the same as the purchase price of the tailor shop.
The cost of breeding colorful spider silk is 500 copper coins, and the colorful spider eggs in the city lord's exclusive window are sold out, so there is no indication of the price drop.
Old Man Zeng: "No problem, I've made enough money recently, it's okay if the price drops a little more."
They all expected that the price of colorful spider silk would drop. After all, there were too many colorful spiders. If this wasn't a game world, they would be worried that the colorful spiders would take over the world.
"By the way, we're going to the fruit forest tomorrow, and we'll ask you to make sausages then."
Old Man Zeng knew that there were wild boars in the fruit forest. There was no way around it because the meat was so delicious. There were very few pigs among the wild monsters near the city, and wild boar meat was the most delicious.
"That's nothing, old man, I can just cook."
If I didn’t have this skill, I don’t know how I would support my grandson.
Before leaving, Lu Jiu left about ten pounds of fresh wild boar meat for Old Man Zeng.
After the game was significantly updated, Old Man Zeng was worried that he wouldn’t have enough time to eat all the pork, so he pickled most of it and saved it for the winter. The remaining fresh meat was consumed some time ago.
Tang Yi drooled as he looked at the wild boar meat. Old Man Zeng smiled and said, "Keep all of this. I'll make you some braised pork today, okay?"
No matter how sensible Tang Yi was, he was still a child and had little resistance to delicious food. "Okay!"
During this period, he ate the most mutton. No matter how delicious the fresh mutton was, he would miss the familiar pork after a while.

When Lu Jiu went to Zhuang Yun's house, An An was still feeding the colorful spider, but she got goosebumps when she saw it, so she didn't bother the child.
The cut meat was fried on the grill. The clear oil and the red meat made a pleasant sizzling sound, and soon the fragrance could be smelled at the tip of the nose.
Zhuang Yun brought dipping sauce to everyone, both dry and wet, all of which were spicy.
In addition to fresh pork, Zhuang Yun also cut lamb, venison, etc., and put in a few grilled sausages. An An was looking at the grilled sausages eagerly.
If there is one good thing about the game, it is that you don't have to avoid certain foods. As long as it's not poisonous, you won't gain weight no matter how much you eat, and there won't be any problems with the three highs or getting angry.
After the barbecue stopped, Zhuang Yunduan brought over a few plates of braised dishes, all bought from Old Man Zeng.
An An was gnawing on the braised chicken leg for a while, his eyes fixed on his beloved grilled sausage.
Lu Jiu was eating the braised food, and remembered that he didn't know how much pork Shen Jufeng had left, so he looked up at him and asked, "Is the shelf life of the pork you left still good? Why don't you take it out and sell it? Anyway, we will get fresh pork tomorrow."
Shen Jufeng didn't even raise his eyelids, and only replied: "I've finished eating."
Lu Jiu's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "So much, you can finish it?"
She actually sold a lot of the pork she was given, and most of it was given to restaurants in the city, because she was the city lord.
"Are you a pig?" Lu Jiu asked this soul-searching question.
I made dumplings at home today. Fresh dumplings are delicious.
