Chapter 253 The Transaction: Obtaining the Spirit Stone
Meng Qingyin briefly explained the situation to everyone.
Fei Qiu suddenly said, "A big order? I saw a player asking for help mining in the chat yesterday, and a lot of people signed up. Could that be her order?"
Meng Qingyin pressed further, "Did she say what kind of ore it was?"
Fei Qiu shook her head: "She didn't say, and I'm not too sure either. Luckily, I have a friend of hers, so I'll ask her now. Maybe it's a psionic stone mine?"
After saying that, he opened his wristwatch and sent a message.
After a while, he said excitedly, "It really is a psionic stone mine! With psionic stones, Mengmeng can make ceramic pots for planting!"
Meng Qingyin was also very happy. "Fei Qiu, please send me her contact information. I want to talk to her about cooperation."
“I’ll tell her,” Fei Qiu said.
I don't know how he told the other person, but they added Meng Qingyin.
This player's nickname is "Hanmei" and their profile picture is a plum blossom blooming in the snow.
Meng Qingyin accepted her friend request, and the other party immediately sent her a message.
Hanmei: "You want to buy my psionic stone?"
Meng Qingyin didn't waste any more words with the other party, "That's right, I need spirit stones."
Hanmei: "You already have the blueprints for planting pots made from psionic stones?"
Mengmeng: "That's right. How many spirit stones do you have?"
Hanmei didn't answer the question, but instead asked, "Spirit stones are quite rare, and the processing fee is not cheap. The price I'm offering is 1 silver coin per pound, and there are a full 1000 pounds. Can you eat them all?"
If it's 1000 jin, that's ten gold coins.
Ordinary players can only save up a few gold coins at most, and very few players can take out ten gold coins to buy ore at once.
However, ten gold coins were not a lot for Meng Qingyin.
Moreover, these ten gold coins can bring her several times the profit.
She can imagine how popular the miniature planting terracotta pots will be.
Therefore, Meng Qingyin readily replied, "No problem. I'll take all 1,000 jin of spirit stones."
Hanmei: "I can tell you're a straightforward person. I have a few pounds of leftovers to give you for free, just to make friends."
Meng Qingyin naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately initiated the transaction.
Hanmei confirmed that the amount of gold coins was correct and quickly agreed.
1016 jin of psionic stones were automatically stored in her system inventory.
The maximum number of items in a grid is 99, and the maximum weight is 99 jin. These 1016 jin of spirit stones occupy 11 grids.
Fortunately, Meng Qingyin now has enough compartments to hold everything.
After the transaction was completed, Hanmei sent her a message: "Looking forward to the next collaboration~"
Meng Qingyin replied, "Looking forward to it too."
Just as the transaction was completed, Shi Ye sent a message: "The clay smelting is finished. 300 catties of clay ore were smelted into 200 catties of clay. The total processing fee is 600 copper coins, but I have wasted a lot of time for you, so I will not charge you the processing fee this time."
Ishino was a straightforward person. The processing fee was already at cost price, and if it were to be free, it would be a loss-making business.
Moreover, Shi Ye indirectly facilitated her deal with Han Mei, for which Meng Qingyin was very grateful.
Mengmeng: "Sister Shi, look at what you're saying. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant, and you've always given me the cost price. How could I let you do business at a loss? The processing fee will still be as we agreed, so please accept it without worry. As for the processed clay, you can leave it at my master's house, and I'll go get it in a bit."
Metallurgist Shi Ye: "Okay."
Meng Qingyin transferred 600 copper coins to her, and then sent a message in the group: "The clay has been processed. 300 catties of clay ore has been processed into 200 catties of clay. I happen to have some planting pot blueprints here. Sell all your clay to me?"
I am the lucky one (poor version): "If you calculate it this way, I can only get twenty or thirty catties. You can just use it to make pottery basins. Don't give me any more money. Just give me ten pottery basins so I can complete the task."
Drowning his sorrows in strong liquor: "Yeah, that's what I think too."
I'm Unlucky: "Yeah, Mengmeng, why are you being so polite with us? When you finish making the ceramic pots, give us ten to do the task. Completing the task is better than anything else. Actually, we should thank you."
The energetic old man said, "Haha, you're right. Planting pots are in high demand right now. Mengmeng helped us out, so why talk about money?"
Chen Leying: "I also want a ceramic pot, for free."
Mengmeng: "Okay, I'll go get the clay now."
After sending the message, Meng Qingyin transmitted it to Li the blacksmith's house.
Shi Ye didn't come; instead, she sent her young apprentice to deliver the clay. The apprentice greeted Meng Qingyin very warmly: "You must be Meng Meng, right? My master speaks highly of you, saying you are very generous in your dealings with others and that he wants me to learn from you."
Meng Qingyin responded with a smile.
The young apprentice must have been quite busy, because he gave her a friendly smile and then hurriedly rode away on his tricycle.
Meng Qingyin looked at Li the blacksmith and joked, "Master, I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days. Your house has almost become my trading place."
Li the blacksmith laughed heartily: "It's no trouble at all. I'm happy to be able to help the younger generation."
"Master, I'll head back now." Meng Qingyin was pressed for time and didn't exchange many pleasantries with Li the blacksmith.
Li the blacksmith waved his hand: "Go on with your work."
Meng Qingyin returned to the car. The hen must have been "educated" by her chicks; it was very well-behaved. It flapped its wings and got out of the car to poop, and then got back in after it finished.
Moreover, the heavy snow had given the hen a bath, washing away the smell of chicken droppings from her body, and her feathers were clean.
Therefore, the car is clean and hygienic, with no odor at all.
Moreover, the hen didn't peck at the pea leaves; instead, she wandered around the car, searching for hidden black-winged beetles.
Its movements are swift, accurate, and ruthless; it pecks its head at the ground and catches a black-winged insect in its mouth, almost always hitting its target.
Before this, Meng Qingyin had no idea that so many black-winged beetles were hiding in the gaps inside the car.
It's daytime now, so they're not out and about, but they'll probably become a plague again at night.
But now that she has a hen, she should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
Meng Qingyin was happy and said to the chicks, "From now on, the mother hen is also part of our family, so don't bully her."
Then, she began making miniature planting ceramic pots.
She first made a ceramic pot, and found that making one ceramic pot consumed 100g of psionic stones and 500g of clay.
500g is equivalent to 1 jin (500g). She has 200 jin of clay, which is enough to make 200 ceramic pots.
As for the psionic stones, there are still some left.
Looking at the small ceramic basin in her hand, Meng Qingyin was quite satisfied with its size.
Not all players' vehicles have a lot of space.
For planting pots of the same price, those that take up less space are definitely more popular.
Moreover, her ceramic pots have more than just the advantage of taking up little space.
[Miniature terracotta pots: Any crop or fruit tree can be planted in terracotta pots, and the size of the plant will automatically adapt to the size of the pot, but the size of the fruit will remain unchanged.]
The plant will automatically adapt to the size of the terracotta pot, while the fruit it produces will remain the same!
This is the biggest selling point of ceramic pots!
