Chapter 266 Don't argue with fools
At 7:30, Meng Qingyin couldn't wait to teleport to Li the blacksmith.
As luck would have it, Lear had just come out of Li the blacksmith's house.
Upon seeing Meng Qingyin, she greeted her with a cold smile: "I really made a bad choice in making friends. You're more suited to be a businesswoman than I am."
Meng Qingyin gave her a smile, "No problem, no problem."
The saying "you can't hit a smiling face" clearly didn't apply to Lear. She rolled her eyes. "Don't think I can't tell you're just being polite."
Meng Qingyin said in an exaggerated tone, "I didn't expect you to actually recognize it."
Li Er was furious, but faced with Meng Qingyin's even brighter smile than before, she couldn't vent her anger. She snorted and slunk away.
Meng Qingyin suppressed her smile and went into the courtyard.
Li the blacksmith had already eaten breakfast and was practicing his boxing under the tree. Meng Qingyin greeted him, took the seed collector, and returned to the train.
First, collect all the seeds of the mutated dragon's beard grass, then you can use them to formulate insecticides.
Meng Qingyin planted all the collected mutant dragon's beard grass seeds in ceramic pots and sprayed them with pea water, which is most suitable for the growth of dragon's beard grass.
She and Qingfeng began to prepare the insecticide.
The insecticide is relatively easy to prepare. Simply grind the mutated dragon's beard grass into juice, add a certain amount of water, mix well, filter out the residue, and then it can be bottled and used.
A total of 5.3L of insecticide was prepared from this batch of mutated dragon's beard grass.
Considering the effectiveness of the insecticide, Meng Qingyin plans to set the dosage of one dose at 10ml.
The problem now is that she doesn't have many of these pressure bottles with nozzles.
Using a regular bottle without a spray nozzle is too wasteful.
Qingfeng was powerless to solve this problem.
Meng Qingyin was somewhat perplexed.
Suddenly, she thought of someone.
The player named "Mask".
He also sells pesticides. How does he solve the bottle problem?
There is a competitive relationship between the two, and presumably the other party has a method but is unwilling to tell her.
But he was the only person Meng Qingyin could think of.
After thinking it over, Meng Qingyin went to the trading hall, found his shop, and clicked to send him a message.
Mengmeng: "Hello, how did you obtain the pressure bottle you used to store the insecticide? Could you please tell me?"
The masked man was alert: "Why are you asking this? Are you going to sell insecticides too?"
Mask: "If you were also selling pesticides, then we'd be competitors. Do you think I'd tell you that?"
Meng Qingyin had already guessed this outcome, so she was not disappointed.
Mengmeng: "That's right, I'm planning to sell insecticides. But if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Sorry to bother you."
The other party has no obligation to inform her, and she will not insist.
But Meng Qingyin was somewhat surprised by what the "mask" said next.
The mask said, "Since you're being relatively honest, I can tell you."
Meng Qingyin was quite surprised. "Aren't you worried that my insecticide will steal your business?"
Mask: "Don't worry, because I've sold out of all my insecticide. Besides, I can sell you pressurized bottles and make another profit, so why not?"
Meng Qingyin glanced at his shop subconsciously, and sure enough, as he said, the insecticide was completely sold out.
But if he developed the insecticide himself, he could easily have formulated a new batch of insecticide and put it on the market, right?
After all, the mask's insecticide only treats the symptoms, not the root cause, and players will always have a need for his insecticide.
But what he just said made it sound like once the products were sold out, that was the end of it?
Meng Qingyin didn't know what the other party was thinking, but since the other party was willing to buy her a pressure bottle, she was naturally more than happy to accept it.
Mengmeng: "Okay, name your price."
Mask: "I'll charge you 10 copper coins per pound."
Meng Qingyin was somewhat surprised; only 10 copper coins per jin?
Doesn't he sell them individually?
Perhaps it's because pressure bottles are heavy, and selling them by weight would be more profitable?
Mengmeng: "Could you send me a bottle first?"
She wanted to check the weight of the bottle first.
The other party didn't reply to the message, but instead sent her a pressure bottle.
The small plastic bottle is almost weightless in your hand and not heavy at all. It also has markings on it, and each small bottle has a capacity of 20ml.
It won't waste too much space to store insecticides.
Mask: "Don't worry, this little bottle is very light. The reason I'm selling it to you cheaply is to clear out my inventory."
Mengmeng: "Okay, how much do you weigh?"
Mask: "About a hundred catties, I'll give you a hundred catties, just give me 10 silver coins."
The other party was very agreeable, and Meng Qingyin didn't dawdle either; the transaction was completed quickly.
Next, Meng Qingyin began to package the insecticide, eventually filling more than 500 small bottles.
Since it's filled by hand, it's not as precise as a machine, so there's bound to be some error.
To avoid trouble, Meng Qingyin gave more than 10ml.
She priced each bottle at 50 copper coins, labeled it "a non-irritating, green, and safe insecticide for black-winged beetles and their eggs," and put it on the trading platform.
Soon, players discovered the insecticide she had listed.
Wan Yue, who loves snake soup: "Boss Mengmeng has also put out an insecticide for black-winged beetles! It's perfect timing since I didn't manage to get a mask, now I don't have to worry about tonight."
Confused? "And it's labeled as non-irritating, and most importantly, it targets insect eggs! Doesn't that mean it can completely cure black-winged beetles?"
Wooden Bump: "Mask sells a full 20ml bottle of insecticide for only 20 copper coins. On the other hand, Mengmeng's is more than twice as expensive, and the quantity is half as much. Is this because they saw that Mask's insecticide was sold out and players could only buy hers, so they maliciously raised the price?"
Meng Qingyin remembered this player; she was one of the players who had teamed up with Zhou Haihai last time to accuse her of selling fake special soil.
Why are you staring at her all the time? It's like you're sick in the head.
Mengmeng: "@WoodenBlock, is that thing on your neck just for show? You only look at the price when you buy things, and don't you care about anything else? If you went to a five-star hotel with only one dollar in your pocket, do you think they would even pay attention to you? Don't you understand the principle of 'you get what you pay for'?"
Century Egg and Lean Pork Congee: "Exactly, they're just trying to rip us off by focusing on the price."
Song Yu, who doesn't have nightmares: "Haha, Mengmeng's attack power is pretty good too. Those guys are really annoying, always acting like clowns. Didn't they get slapped in the face by Master Qingfeng last time?"
Wooden Bumpkin: "It's just insecticide? So what if it kills insect eggs?"
All the good names have already been taken: "It's amazing! Not only can it kill insect eggs, but it's also safe and non-irritating. With so many advantages, don't you see any of them?"
Wooden Bump: "Heh, she says it can kill insect eggs. Insect eggs are so small that they can't be seen with the naked eye. Whether it can actually kill them or not is up to her."
Meng Qingyin was too lazy to pay attention to this little black-faced guy.
Don't argue with fools. Some fools will drag you down to their level and then beat you with their vast experience.
This "blockhead" is clearly that kind of person.
