Arknights is too real, right?
Chapter 970 When doing business, you must know how to observe people’s words and emotions
Xia Feng has thought about it. This time he will go to the town to sell sandworms in person.
He risked his life to catch the sandworms. The deep-sea monsters that were dozens of meters long were swimming around in the water. There was no shame in paying for the rewards.
Of course, he did not entrust the sandworms to the villagers, but chose to sell them himself. There was another consideration.
According to Uncle Nanye, sandworms are very rare in the entire Eastern Kingdom. Many people have never heard of them, let alone seen them. From this, it can be inferred that the sandworm island is the only stronghold of sandworms.
Including the sandworms captured by Victoria, perhaps they all ran away from that island.
Except for the villagers of Nanye Village, no one from Dongguo had ever seen sandworms, and the villagers who had seen sandworms did not dare to catch them. This endless cycle was now broken by him.
Just like when a brand new product comes out, how much it is worth is not determined by the market, but by the seller, because you can't find it anywhere else except mine.
Therefore, the starting point for selling sandworms is very important. You can even decide how expensive it is. Don’t make small profits but quick turnover. It is a high-end luxury product. You are not afraid that no one will buy it, but you are afraid that too many people will buy it.
Because the Sandworm Island has not been completely occupied yet, and he only picks up leaks on the shore. He only catches one or two every day until he dies.
It was relatively early to set off from home. As soon as noon arrived, Xia Feng rushed to the town with Sandworm on his back.
He has been to this town several times before, so he is familiar with everything. There is no rent or tax to pay here. You can just put your shop on the ground. To put it bluntly, it is a street stall.
Being familiar with the road, Xia Feng first walked to the well where he had fetched water before and yelled arrogantly at the fat man smoking.
"Hey, fat man, get some water. It's cold."
The fat man squinted his eyes.
"It's cool, 5 coppers, fight it yourself."
"What kind of service? It's really troublesome for me to do it myself."
Xia Feng muttered dissatisfiedly, threw the bucket directly into the well, and pulled up a bucket full of cool fresh water.
After filling the kettle, he took a few sips and wiped his mouth.
"Um, I owe the money first, and I'll pay it after I sell everything."
"Hey, stop here."
When he heard that he would be owed, the fat man immediately stood up and grabbed Xia Feng's shoulders.
"You owe everything. There are no such rules. Pay the money quickly."
Xia Feng spread his hands.
"But I have no money now."
"No money? If you don't have money, what did you do just now? You're going to get cold."
At this moment, Xia Feng showed an extremely contemptuous look. This expression made the otherwise reasonable fat man feel unconfident.
The fat man subconsciously took half a step back.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there anything wrong with paying for water?"
Xia Feng pointed to the backpack behind him.
"Brother, I'm here to sell goods today. I'll tell you secretly that what I'm carrying here is a treasure. When I sell out, believe it or not, I'll buy your well directly?"
"this"
Xia Feng patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"Isn't it just 5 coppers? Brother, you have to know how to watch your words when doing business. Look at me, I look like a deadbeat."
The fat man originally wanted to be honest, but at this moment, under Xia Feng's poor appearance, an inexplicable aura made him change his mind unconsciously.
"No."
"That's right, what's your name?"
"My name is Mui."
Xia Feng looked very optimistic about him.
"Okay, Mujing, just wait for now. When I finish the work today, I will directly deposit one month's water money with you. That's it, bye."
"oh oh."
It was noon at this time, and almost all the villagers from the surrounding villages who came to trade had arrived. Xia Feng carried a backpack to the so-called commercial street in the town and found an empty space.
He took out a piece of cloth, pressed a few stones on it, and then placed two strange-looking sandworms on the cloth.
Because of their carapace, when seen from a distance, these two sandworms look like two strange rocks. When viewed closer, they look more like rocks, which can be said to be completely unattractive.
The villagers who passed by here just glanced at it at most. Compared with this "strange species" they had never seen before, they obviously needed to buy some practical things.
There was an endless stream of hawking sounds all around.
"Green vegetables, freshly harvested vegetables, sold cheaply!"
"Porcelain bowls, sell porcelain bowls, porcelain bowls, porcelain dishes and porcelain pots!"
"Spices, all kinds of spices are available to ensure that your dishes are delicious and fresh!"
Gradually, more and more people stopped at the nearby stalls, and even a stone seller opened one, but there was still no one interested in his place.
This situation was completely within Xia Feng's expectation, just like being the first person to eat crabs in the world, it is always not that easy.
He took out the kettle and drank it leisurely without any worry at all.
After a while, just when he was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted, a little boy holding a candied haws finally stopped in front of his stall.
The little boy, about three or four years old, wearing crotchless pants, pointed at the sandworms on the ground and shouted.
"Mom, look, there's a monster!"
The little boy's mother glanced at the two strange-looking sandworms with undisguised disgust in her eyes.
"Baby, be good, let's not get too close to the monster, be careful of biting people, let's go quickly."
The little boy was unhappy when he heard this.
"No, I want a monster, I want a monster!"
"No, no, no, we don't want monsters. Didn't mom buy you candied haws?"
"But I want monsters."
The little boy's mother looked helpless. It could be seen that even though she came from a poor family, she still doted on her child.
The young mother looked at Xia Feng and asked tentatively.
"Well, may I ask, what are you selling?"
"It's a sandworm."
"Is it a handicraft?"
"No, sandworms are food, a delicious seafood from the sea."
When she heard that it was seafood, the mother immediately associated it with creatures like sandworms and lobsters. Although it looked weird, it was still edible.
"Okay, let me ask you this Sha."
"Sandworm."
"Oh, sandworm, how much does it cost?"
Xia Feng stretched out a finger with an indifferent expression.
Seeing this finger, the mother immediately lost her composure.
"Huh? One of them actually costs 1 silver?"
However, Xia Feng's next words doubled the mother's lack of composure.
"It's not 1 silver, it's 1 gold."
There was no hint of joking in Xia Feng's tone when he said the price. He was so serious that he seemed to be saying something that was taken for granted.
Hearing his words, the mother was stunned, the villagers passing by were stunned, and the old man next to him who was selling candied haws for 3 copper coins each was also stunned.
Only the little boy who just shouted to buy a monster blinked his big eyes.
"Mom, I want it, buy it for me!"
There is a limit to pampering. Without saying a word, the mother dragged the little boy away with a dark face.
Of course, it wasn't because the price Xia Feng said was unacceptable, but because the mother felt that her conversation with a mentally ill patient was a waste of precious time.
Faced with this outrageous offer, nearby pedestrians were whispering and pointing at Xia Feng and his sky-high price sandworms.
"Tell me, is this man crazy because of his poverty?"
"You don't look like a madman. Is the thing he sells really so amazing?"
"I've never seen this thing before. Could it be a medicine that can cure all diseases?"
"Even if it can cure all diseases, 1 gold is too expensive. This is 1 gold, and you can buy an ox head."
Xia Feng ignored all these gossips, but only the last sentence made him widen his eyes in shock.
“Damn, that cow was too expensive to buy before!”
Thanks to the leader of poi, Fengfeng has evolved into the fourth beast today (ω`)
