"Of course, don't worry, my three lords. His Majesty the Saint Pharaoh has an agreement with the distinguished guests. We will give priority to supplying Nubia with a fixed amount, and then supply the rest to the market."
As soon as Remheb finished speaking, the expressions of the three trade officials became confused.
"A fixed amount?"
"Lord Remheb, what is it you are talking about?"
After all, these three Nubian trade officials had never signed an agreement with Holy Egypt to supply a fixed amount of goods.
Obviously, this was the first time they heard such a description.
When Remheb heard what they said, he just raised his hand and waved it gently.
"Please wait for a moment, three distinguished guests."
Remheb's words aroused the merchants' even greater curiosity.
"What on earth is this thing? Why is it so mysterious?"
"Is it some kind of premium meat?"
"Isn't this crocodile meat from the Nile? My three lords, don't you really know what this is?"
"Lord Remheb said that he could give you a fixed amount of good stuff!"
"I really envy you for being able to do such a large-scale trade with Holy Egypt..."
A few merchants simply came forward to chat with the three Nubian trade officials, and their words were full of envy for Nubia's ability to do business with Holy Egypt.
After all, for these merchants, if they want to buy food now, they can only buy it from Nubian trade officials.
"My three lords, since you have purchased the grain, could you please sell me a small portion of it?"
"Look, the price you're buying it for is six times, I'll pay six and a half times for 200 kilograms, what do you think?"
"Three lords, three lords! I will also offer 6.5 times as much. How about you sell me 300 kilograms?"
After hearing what these merchants said, the three Nubian trade officials just shook their heads slightly.
"We will have the Nubian caravan sell the food. I'm afraid we can't sell it to you. Please forgive me."
After hearing their words, the merchants hung their heads, responded with an "OK", and went to the other side to wait.
However, the three Nubian trade officials felt that they had gotten a great bargain this time.
You know, there are so many merchants trading with Holy Egypt, but only Nubia can successfully trade with Holy Egypt.
Somehow, whenever the three trade officials thought of this, they felt an inexplicable joy rising from the bottom of their hearts.
yes!
That's Holy Egypt!
At this moment, the merchants saw many soldiers bringing up many ceramic cups.
The moment the merchants saw those ceramic cups, they looked as if they had suddenly realized something.
“It’s a pottery cup!”
"My three lords, you want to buy the Holy Egyptian pottery cup?"
"But this ceramic cup... there's not much profit to be made, right?"
“Could it be that there is some difference in the craftsmanship of the pottery cups in Holy Egypt?”
Just as the merchants were looking at the pottery cup and talking to each other, they suddenly smelled a strange smell.
Of course, it is strange because the merchants here have never smelled this smell before.
As for the three Nubian trade officials, they will never forget this taste.
It was a drink they had had the pleasure of tasting at the palace of Holy Egypt.
Cocoa drink.
"This is a new drink made in Holy Egypt using [cocoa beans]."
“This time next month, we’ll be selling [cocoa beans] here.”
"Just like food, we use a bidding method, and the party with the highest bid will be the successful purchaser."
"This is cocoa drink made from cocoa beans. Please enjoy it."
"In a moment, there will be a special stall selling cocoa drinks. If you are still interested, you can buy it yourself."
"However, each person is limited to buying one cup."
As soon as Remheb finished speaking, he signaled the soldiers to come forward and distribute the cocoa to the merchants.
Of course, some of these businessmen have never heard of this [cocoa bean].
They knew nothing about cocoa beans, let alone cocoa drinks.
"Limited to one cup purchase?"
"[Cocoa beans]? Cocoa drink?"
"What is this?"
Among them, a few businessmen know that cocoa beans are extremely rare.
So, after they heard what Remheb said, they just widened their eyes.
"Lord Remheb, you are talking about that rare thing from the rainforest, [cocoa beans]?!"
"You mean, Saint Egypt will sell [cocoa beans] later?"
The merchants' reactions were so intense that when they received the cocoa, they held it up with both hands and took it carefully.
They just held the cocoa and drank it, smelling it again and again.
Those merchants who didn't understand what cocoa beans were, took a big sip as soon as they received it.
After that, their eyes widened.
“What…what is this smell?!”
"Such a rich flavor, slightly bitter when entering the mouth, but so mellow, and even has a sweet aftertaste!"
"What on earth is this cocoa drink?"
The merchants drank it one after another, and they all praised the mysterious taste of the cocoa drink.
When Lin Ke, who was on the city wall, saw this scene, he just raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
"It seems that cocoa drinking really has a charm that people can't refuse."
Lin Ke just said it lightly, and Kamul, who was beside Lin Ke, bowed to Lin Ke when he heard this.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh is absolutely right."
"This cocoa drink seems to have some kind of magical power that can heal people."
“It can even allow people to forget their troubles for a short while and immerse themselves in the present moment.”
"Such a mysterious drink, yet so much of it can be made nowadays."
"Your Majesty, you have such a long-term vision. I really admire you!"
When Lin Ke heard what the other party said, he just waved his hand gently.
"However, now that we have promoted it, we can naturally let everyone know what this cocoa drink is."
"But if the caravan wins the cocoa beans at a high price in the future, I'm afraid the price of cocoa drink will increase several times."
Kamul bowed again when he heard this: "Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, but now, the production of [cocoa beans] in Holy Egypt is increasing day by day."
“It won’t be long before cocoa drinking becomes something that everyone can buy.”
"When that time comes, I believe that all the people of Cairo will be grateful for your gift."
“It’s because of you that they have the opportunity to have access to this cocoa drink.”
When Lin Ke heard what Kamul said, she just smiled lightly.
"If that's the case, it would be great."
Then, Lin Ke turned his gaze to the distance.
There, golden light is about to rise.
