After the Full Level of the Profession
Chapter 46: Big purchase
Robb walked in front, Lilian followed behind carrying a small bamboo basket, one master and one servant took a leisurely pace to the center of the town.
It was almost early July when I lived in this town, but now it is early August. Robb ran out shopping for the second time because he was so lazy that he hadn't been out of the church courtyard for a whole month.
This was a rare trip to the streets, only to discover that Xifeng Town was slightly different from the way I went shopping last time. Many families in the town are building water towers. Screw water pumps are everywhere. It is really spectacular. There are iron or copper water pipes hanging on the water towers.
Since mining is ranked first among the four major industries in Xifeng Town, even the poorest townspeople in Xifeng Town can easily obtain a large amount of iron and copper. Some people follow Robb and use iron pipes, but Some senior townspeople who often deal with metals did not mess with Robb, but chose copper pipes instead.
When Robb saw the copper pipe, he suddenly remembered: Since there is copper, I shouldn't use iron for water pipes. Copper is less prone to oxidation and rust, which is much better than iron pipes. Alas, I’m stuck in the original world’s way of thinking. In the original world, the motherland is a relatively copper-deficient country. The limited amount of copper is not enough to make copper money. Therefore, the Chinese people have used iron more commonly to make various objects since ancient times. In this world, copper does not seem to be a rare thing, and these people do not feel bad about using it as a water pipe.
Robb turned his head and said to Lilian: "You help me remember that when we get home, we will ask the blacksmith to come back and replace all the water pipes in the house with copper pipes."
Lilian nodded and said, "Okay, Master."
Moving forward, all the townspeople who met along the way saluted Robb respectfully. From time to time, someone called "Good morning, MyFather". Robb waved to everyone, showing the spirit of leading him to the countryside.
When the town center arrived, Robb saw a large group of townsfolk surrounding him from a long distance. He was thinking that this group of people blocked his sight, and he heard a townsfolk yelling: "Father is here!"
The surrounding townspeople immediately slashed to the two sides as if they were "stripped Huashan", and gave Robb a way. The townspeople on both sides of the road bowed and saluted together: "Father, you first ."
Robb was embarrassed by them so much, and he smiled and said, "I said, you are too kind to me."
The townspeople respectfully said: "It should be!"
Well, it's okay for a son to be polite to his dad, but can you sell things to dad without charging? Robb murmured in his heart, and then he passed through the welcome array set out by the townspeople and walked in front of the "touring merchants".
I don’t know. I am happy to see it. This itinerant businessman is actually a dwarf, short, only as high as Robb’s waist, and his big head accounts for one-third of his total height. Because his head is too big, A small beard dragged to his waist unexpectedly. He was also looking at Robb with his eyes widened, looking very interested.
Behind this dwarf businessman, a group of servants guarded a large cart with a wide range of goods. Robb glanced around and saw bundles of linen cloth, cotton cloth, salt jars, pepper jars, Vanilla, there are some messy daily necessities, because there are too many kinds, you can't see it.
"Oh, dear priest." The dwarf said: "I will come to Westwind Town once every two months, but there was no priest in the last time I came here. I didn't expect that there is one now, who is so young and handsome, you It's really a kind of talent."
As soon as we met, we turned on the flattering mode. As expected, he was a businessman. Robb laughed at the flattering: "I also think this character is very handsome."
The dwarf wondered: "Pinch?"
Robb smiled and said, "Oral addiction, don't care about such details! Let me take a look at your products."
The dwarf hurriedly said respectfully: "Please choose whatever you want."
Robb walked to the car, looked closely, and immediately found a roll of silk. The dwarf merchant followed his gaze and quickly introduced: "Mr. Father, you really know the goods. This is from the East of the Tang Dynasty. The high-end goods used to make clothes are light and delicate, smooth and close to the skin, not comparable to cotton, and very popular among emperors and nobles..."
Having said that, he leaned close to Robb's ear and whispered: "Especially suitable for making pajamas for women. Tsk tsk, reach out and touch it, that feel, hehehe..."
Robb knows this of course, and he also knows that the robe made of silk is more high-end than the magic cloth and cotton cloth. Both defense power, additional intelligence and magic strength are better, and the effect of random enchanting can also be better. Going upstairs, this kind of thing that can only be imported from the East China Tang, is very rare in the West, and it is not easy to buy in normal times. It is not wrong to save more.
He smiled and said: "Very well, I want this thing, how many horses do you have?"
"I have ten horses!" The dwarf merchant heard that Robb was buying, with a bright smile on his face: "One gold coin for each horse."
Robb smiled and said, "I want it all."
Cotton cloth is only 10 silver coins a horse, silk actually costs a gold coin, which is ten times more expensive than cotton cloth. Of course ordinary townspeople will not buy it. In fact, it is difficult to sell this thing in small western border towns, only occasionally. The mayor will buy one horse. Robb bought ten horses at once, making the dwarf merchant happy. He smiled and took the money from Lilian and put it in his pocket. Ten silks were placed in Lilian's hands.
Lilian couldn't handle ten pieces of silk at all, but fortunately, enthusiastic townspeople immediately came to help with them.
Robb bought another big jar of salt and vanilla powder... He bought a lot of everything that he couldn't buy in Westwind Town, and he didn't need it or not.
However, after such an operation, Robb has not much money left. Last time he sold the flying dragon leather armor and made a hundred gold coins, which seemed to be a lot of money, but he was spending a lot of money on things, and he also randomly released reward tasks. In addition, this time he made a big purchase. Most of the son went.
When his eyes turned to a large can of pepper on the dwarf merchant’s cargo cart, Lilian couldn’t help but secretly pulled the corner of La Robb’s clothes and whispered: "Master, save some, don’t buy pepper, you don’t have much money. NS."
"Oh, is our family almost out of money?" Robb has always left Lilian to take care of the money, and he doesn't know how much he has.
Lilian whispered: "We still have ten gold coins now. It's okay to buy something else, but...pepper can't be bought anymore. The price of this item is too expensive, comparable to gold, and one pound of pepper. It takes a pound of gold to buy it. We’d better save a little now and stop buying such expensive things."
