Chapter 507 Thermostatic Fish Tank, Crystal Merchant
Lu Xingchen immediately contacted the guards and extended the lease for another day on the vacant land near the stone square.
Lu Haoyue and the others didn't have much money, but they were eager to earn gold coins, so they immediately went there to get busy.
Gao Dafu and Gu Yanzhi had spent most of their money and went along with them.
Gao Dafu stewed mutton soup, Qi Fangxin prepared steamed beef buns, Gu Yanzhi and Lu Haoyue prepared the barbecue grill, one started making roast duck, and the other started skewering mutton.
Lu Xingchen made a lot more tables and chairs and arranged them.
Then she left the stone square.
Making money is important, but finding crystals is even more important. She plans to go to the restaurant again to chat with those cute little fish.
After a day and a night, they must have made some new gains!
As Lu Xingchen walked toward the restaurant, he looked at the stalls on both sides of the road.
The stalls here change frequently; some are there in the morning but are taken over by others in the afternoon, and today's market is different from yesterday's.
As Lu Xingchen walked along, he was drawn by a voice: "Hey, come and take a look! The latest model of fish tank, warm in winter and cool in summer, with a built-in temperature control system, is especially suitable for fish keepers in Frost Snow Village!"
Lu Xingchen couldn't help but glance at it.
It was a general store, and the owner was holding up a fish tank.
The fish tank was round, transparent and smooth, but the base was thick and white.
Looks very ordinary.
Lu Xingchen only glanced at it before the stall owner immediately began to introduce it: "Master, please take a look. This fish tank has thermal energy crystals and constant temperature crystals embedded in the bottom, which can ensure that the water in the fish tank is kept at a constant temperature. Even if it is placed outdoors, it can ensure that the fish will not die. Would you like one?"
Upon hearing the word "crystal essence," Lu Xingchen stopped and asked, "Can the crystal essence in the fish tank be taken out?"
The stall owner was taken aback: "Master, are you joking? These are all made into one piece, so they definitely can't be taken out."
"What if we run out of crystals?" Lu Xingchen asked.
This question stumped the stall owner: "Well... crystals can last for at least six months. After six months, you can just replace the fish tank. Glass isn't worth much, right?"
"We can't change it..." Lu Xingchen said with disappointment.
She asked again, "Where can I buy Crystal?"
The stall owner thought for a moment: "It's said that crystal merchants occasionally appear at the market, but I don't know if there are any in Frostsnow Village..."
A crystal merchant? Could it be that old man with a white beard?
Lu Xingchen was startled and quickly chatted with the stall owner for a few more minutes.
The stall owner knew nothing about the rest.
Tired of being asked, the stall owner smiled bitterly: "Master, I'm just selling groceries. I found this fish tank. Do you want it? If you do, I'll give it to you at a discount!"
Lu Xingchen: "How much?"
Stall owner: "2000 gold coins!"
Lu Xingchen turned and left. She was joking; selling something secondhand for such a high price? Did they think she was a sucker?
None of the sellers at the Frosty Snow Village market were honest.
The stall owner was anxious: "Hey, hey, hey, I'll make it cheaper, 1,000 gold coins."
Lu Xingchen turned around: "300 gold coins!"
Stall owner: "No, master, you can't bargain like that! I have crystals in here, crystals! Crystals are very expensive!"
Lu Xingchen: "Oh? How expensive? This thing of yours is just a second-hand item. What if the crystals inside are used up? I'm just buying a glass tank, 300 is already a good price."
After some haggling, Lu Xingchen finally bought the temperature-controlled fish tank for 300 gold coins.
She can't think of a use for this right now, and she really won't buy it if it's not cheap.
Lu Xingchen casually tossed the fish tank into his storage backpack and strode into the restaurant.
She ordered the same food as yesterday and deliberately sat at the table closest to the fish tank.
Lu Xingchen tapped on the fish tank: "Hi, my incredibly cute little fish, I'm back again! Any news?"
The little fish were in a state of chaos:
"Aaaaaah, that scary big face is back again! Run! Run! Mommy, save me!"
"Waaaaah, does she still want to make soup? Why? Why do I, such a cute little fish, have to go through all this?"
Lu Xingchen tilted his ear: "Speak, what's the news?"
The little fish chattered away:
"Last night, a woman in red was robbed of 1,000 gold coins. She cursed a few times and was almost arrested."
"This morning, the tall guy wanted to buy some breakfast, but he was scammed out of 500 gold coins and left crying."
