Chapter 23
The merchants from Dore City came faster than the students from the magic school.
In the autumn, they left Dore City with their goods and sold Dore City's specialties to other cities. Many of them purchased goods from Jiang Li's supermarket when they set out, and brought a lot of convenience foods. After
an autumn, the convenience foods from Dore City became very popular in other cities!
No matter which city the residents were from, they were just like the residents of Dore City at the beginning, and they simply couldn't resist the charm of convenience foods. At first, the merchants thought it would be difficult to promote them, but when they said that this was a delicacy from Dore City, many people said they had heard of it.
The adventurers who had left or passed through Dore City before had already spread the word about the deliciousness of the convenience foods, and many people had heard from them that there was a kind of food called hot pot in Dore City. Even if they had never heard of it before, when the aroma of the hot pot came out, there was no doubt that everyone was captivated by this enchanting aroma that they had never smelled before.
In the cold season, it would be such a wonderful thing to have such a pot of steaming hot and extremely delicious food!
As a result, the fast food brought by the merchants was snapped up. After selling other goods, they immediately filled up the carriages and rushed back to Dore City without stopping. Not only merchants from Dore City, but also merchants from other cities rushed over to not miss this great business opportunity.
Jiang Li's supermarket also ushered in a peak in purchasing.
For several days in a row, every day when he came to the other world, he would see merchants parked their carriages outside the supermarket and waited for a long time. As soon as they entered the door, they couldn't wait to sweep away the goods on the shelves, leaving behind large bags of gold coins. As a result, other latecomers had to face empty shelves.
Jiang Li had to increase the amount of goods he bought.
Augustus was puzzled by this.
On this day, he had just finished his business in the West City and passed by the supermarket to patronize it. He also reported Ophelia's reply to Jiang Li.
"Thanks to your shampoo and face cream." Augustus said excitedly, "Ophelia likes it very much and thanked me in the letter. It's the first time she likes a gift I gave her so much. She wrote five more lines of thanks than last year!"
Jiang Li flipped through the magic book he had just received and replied casually, "Really? As long as she likes it."
"Not only does she like it very much, she also asked me to send some more, saying that her classmates also like it and want to buy it for them."
"Her classmates?" Jiang Li raised his head: "Are they students from the magic school?"
Augustus nodded: "Yes. The products sold in the supermarket are so magical. According to her, shampoo is very popular in magic schools."
It's a pity that the supermarket only appears in Dore City. Even in the most prosperous royal capital, you can't buy the same magical products. This made Augustus very proud. At the same time, he also remembered what Ophelia said in the letter, that with the help of those toiletries, she had become close to many nobles in the royal capital.
As he was talking, another guest came in from the door, and Augustus stepped aside to watch Jiang Li entertain the new guest.
He opened the thermos he carried with him and poured out a cup of steaming milk tea from it. He took a sip, and the smooth milk tea flowed down his throat, and even his hands and feet became warm.
Augustus couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The thermos is really too convenient.
The milk tea was instant milk tea that was brewed in advance. He soaked it in the thermos cup when he went out in the morning. Even after a day, his mouth was still a little hot at night. Not to mention that it was very convenient to carry. He later bought a special thermos cup cover in the supermarket. There was a strap that could be worn diagonally on the body. Not only could he free his hands, but he could also drink boiling hot water anytime and anywhere.
This has become a new landscape in Dolei City. Adventurers who often have to go out of the city especially love thermos cups. You know, in the wild in winter, the lake is frozen, and it is very troublesome to get water, not to mention the many steps of making a fire to boil water. With a thermos cup, drinking hot water becomes particularly convenient.
This guest was a businessman who came to purchase, and soon left with a large bag of hot pot base.
Looking through the glass at the carriage disappearing at the end of the road, Augustus asked while drinking milk tea, "I've found it strange for a long time. The products sold in your supermarket are so magical and can be mass-produced. As long as you are willing, you can become one of the top chambers of commerce in the Lalan continent. Instead of distributing them to so many merchants, why don't you sell them yourself?"
Jiang Li reopened the magic book and continued reading from where he had just been interrupted: "It's too troublesome."
"Trouble?"
"I don't have the extra energy to go to other cities, and it's not convenient."
What he meant by inconvenience was that he could only travel back and forth between the two worlds every day through the supermarket. Every time he came to another world, he appeared in Dore City, just like he couldn't go to magic school, and it was not convenient to go to other cities.
But Augustus was even more confused when he heard it: "Why would it be a problem?"
Augustus said casually: "You can find a reliable chamber of commerce to cooperate with. As long as you sign a magic contract, you don't have to worry about being deceived and betrayed. A powerful magician like you will certainly not focus all your energy on business."
Jiang Li automatically ignored his words "powerful magician", but Augustus' words gave him a great inspiration.
Selling his products to the whole continent, even if he is just the owner of a small supermarket, Jiang Li certainly has such an ambition. However, no matter which world it is, his supermarket business has just started, and he is still busy learning magic, so he has not put the expansion plan on the agenda.
However, he doesn't want to drag himself down, but he can drag others down!
Thinking of this, Jiang Li took the initiative to ask: "Is there any reliable chamber of commerce in Dolei City?"
Augustus blinked his blue eyes dully: "...What?"
"I think what you said makes sense." Jiang Li said: "Maybe, I can find someone to cooperate with and ask him to help me sell the supermarket's products outside Dolei City."
However, Jiang Li didn't know much about the chambers of commerce in the other world. After operating in the other world for so long, he knew the most ordinary residents of Dolei City. And the person in front of him was the young city lord of Dolei City. No one knew Dolei City better than Dean.
"You...wait...wait!"
Augustus didn't even care about drinking milk tea.
In fact, he just mentioned it casually, and didn't make any suggestions from the heart. You know, Jiang Li is a great magician! No matter how magical the products in the supermarket are, that is not his main job. A powerful magician always has one or two quirks. Maybe running a store is Jiang Li's hobby?
Who knows, Jiang Li really starts to consider cooperating with others? !
Augustus's mind was working rapidly for a while.
No one knows the magic of supermarkets better than him, and no one knows the benefits of cooperating with supermarkets better than him. The chamber of commerce chosen by Jiang Li for cooperation may become a leading chamber of commerce in one leap. If it is Dolei City...
If it is Dolei City...
As the young lord of Dolei City and the future heir, at this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Augustus' mind. Various ideas flashed through his mind, and finally stopped a few months ago, when a magical supermarket suddenly appeared in the shopping street, and the day when he and his father invited Jiang Li to visit the castle.
Great goddess of luck!
This must be a blessing from the goddess!
Augustus supported the cash register, he leaned forward, wishing to cross this obstacle and squeeze himself into Jiang Li's eyes. The golden hair of the aristocrat was almost shining with joy, and his azure eyes were brighter than the color of the sky.
Augustus' eyes were shining, and he was reserved but eager to promote himself: "In Dore City, who is more reliable than Dean?"
"If you want to cooperate, Dean is the most suitable person!"
"Jiang Li, let's work together to make Dore City the most powerful city in the kingdom!"
