Chapter 141 Luring the Dragon into the City



Su Qing placed the basket on the ground, lifted the cloth covering it, and revealed the dazzling array of goods inside.

Large bags of salt, icing sugar, dough, seasonings...

Do you want to buy something?

They looked expectantly at the person in front of them.

Robert couldn't help but frown, somewhat annoyed at being blocked, but also a little curious—it was rare for a wandering merchant to have made it this far.

He looked at the baskets. He didn't recognize the flatbread, but he could tell that it contained icing sugar, salt, and seasonings.

Each large bag contained a paper package.

Paper, ever since it was produced in the Dragon Territory, has been dumped abroad and sold like hotcakes because it is of high quality and low price.

"No!"

He refused and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped.

He looked at Su Qing, who was already packing her things with a dejected expression, and said, "Wait a minute, pack your things and come with me. Someone might want to buy your things!"

He doesn't really need these things, but his men might want to buy them, since these necessities are still in high demand.

Su Qing immediately turned from dejection to joy, nodded, loaded the things onto the carriage, and left with Robert.

Sea Ghost City!

This city is somewhat different from the other cities Su Qing has seen along the way, because this city has a name, and its walls are made of stone, nearly four meters high, making it look somewhat like a city.

The two thick wooden city gates were open, and four people stood on either side, looking nonchalant but full of energy.

Upon seeing Robert, they immediately stood up straight.

"Boss!"

Someone shouted with a grin, and Robert kicked him in the butt: "Show some seriousness! If you embarrass me in front of outsiders, I'll skin you alive!"

After uttering a curt remark, Robert led Su Qing into the city.

The houses in the city were not much different from those in other cities, with simple wooden structures. However, each household had some dried fish hanging in front of their doors, indicating that they lived better than in other places and were probably quite wealthy.

The streets were mostly populated by the elderly, women, and children; there were very few strong men, and even a handful of teenagers. From the conversations of a few passersby, it seemed they were going to the seaside to fish.

"Whatever you want to sell, just sell it here!"

After saying that, Robert left in a hurry. If he wanted to rob Dragon Territory, he should prepare early.

Manpower, weapons, horses, and food for the journey are all essential.

Su Qing was left behind, and his driving of the carriage attracted a lot of attention.

A group of curious middle-aged women and young wives gathered around, watching with great interest as Su Qing unloaded several baskets from the carriage.

When the black cloth was lifted, revealing the goods inside, the onlookers realized that it was a wandering merchant.

This profession is truly rare in their area. Few itinerant merchants can venture here. They usually trade daily necessities, which are purchased by specialized teams from distant places. This is not only troublesome but also not cheap.

"Young man, how much is your icing?"

An older woman asked about the price of the icing.

"Ten copper coins per pack, buy ten packs at once and get one pack free. Salt and seasonings are the same price. If you buy twenty packs, you get a free pancake!"

Su Qing warmly greeted customers.

Spend 1000 copper coins or more and receive a free small toy!

Su Qing took out some toys from the basket. They were made of wood and metal. Some were dolls of people and animals, while others were more sophisticated and could move on their own when wound up.

The logo "Made by Giant Dragon" is prominently displayed on it.

The Dragon Territory caravan didn't just sell glass; they also sold high-quality, inexpensive paper and books, toys, clothing, shoes, weapons...

With a wide range of interests, "Giant Dragon" is now a very famous brand throughout the northwestern countries, and most of the items it sells are extremely expensive.

They target the luxury market, and the items sold in Dragon Territory are extremely sought after by wealthy women.

Of course, the small toys that Su Qing brought were all discarded and defective products, making them perfect as free gifts.

Faced with the huge discounts offered by Su Qing, the people of Haigui City showed extremely high enthusiasm.

A third of the items in the basket were quickly sold.

"If you want to buy, hurry up! The quality of the items I sell is completely guaranteed. I will never sell any defective products to cheat you."

See this carriage? When I arrived, it was full of goods, but now there's only a little left. Once it's sold out, there won't be any more. If you want any freebies, you'd better hurry, as they're limited!

Su Qing began to greet them.

However, in the end, these people's financial resources are limited, and they can't possibly stop living and use all their money to buy these things.

By evening, about half of the goods had been sold.

While Su Qing was selling her wares, Robert, who had just returned to his residence, was greeted by his daughter crying her heart out.

His daughter, thirteen or fourteen years old, was a beautiful blonde girl with blue eyes. At that moment, she was crying with tears streaming down her face, her lips pursed in grievance.

"What's wrong? What's wrong, my darling? Did someone make you angry? Tell Daddy, Daddy will have someone chop him up!"

Robert picked up his daughter with heartache, offering words of comfort but inwardly seething with anger.

How dare someone bully my precious daughter!
