Plane live room

"Grumble~"

Holden was a little hungry.

The rumbling in his stomach reminded him that it was time for dinner, he opened the window to check the time, and happily decided to close the shop and go home to eat something.

A bowl of boiled peas, topped with a thick layer of cheese, topped with a grilled quail, and finished off with a nice drink.

"Squeak-"

The door opened suddenly.

Horton was unhappy when the recipe he was working on was interrupted.But when he saw that the visitor was wearing a thick hood and wrapped his head tightly, his mood improved by five points.

Especially when the visitor took off his hood, revealing a pure, oriental face, Horton's mood was completely brightened.

There is a visit from the East, which means that there is a big business.

Foreboding that he would make a lot of money today, Holden couldn't help but put a sincere smile on his face: "This respectable Mr. Dongfang, what's your business in our store? Do you want to buy something or sell something?" ?”

"Do you collect spices here?" the oriental man asked.

"Take it! I don't know which one you want to sell?"

"black pepper."

"black pepper?"

When he heard it was pepper, Horton's spirits lifted.At this time, he didn't feel hungry anymore, because the big business delivered to his door had already filled his appetite.

He hurriedly welcomed the Oriental into the door, and then closed the door tightly. When the Oriental began to take out the pepper bag from the cloth bag, Horton hastily closed the window without leaving a single gap.

The closed room immediately became dark.

The room was extremely dark, and only the breathing of two people could be heard one after another.

Because the precious pepper is involved, business cannot naturally be carried out in a dim environment.

So, Holden rarely lit a piece of beeswax, and this extravagant behavior made him feel a little heartbroken.Candles made of beeswax are several times more expensive than ordinary tallow candles, but the benefits are also immediate, at least beeswax does not have the choking smell of smoke.

After making all these preparations, Horton solemnly moved a balance. He took the bag from the Easterner, weighed it with his hands, and then carefully took out a grain of pepper, two grains of pepper, and two Peppers, put them one by one on the balance at one end...

After repeating this monotonous action dozens of times, Xia Yubing's eyes were straightened.

[Oh my god, I laughed so hard, isn't it just pepper, as for being so exaggerated?Open the bag and pour it, and it will be done in three seconds. ]

[Upstairs don't understand, medieval spices are very expensive!Especially pepper, people are not ordinary seasoning at this time, but precious 'pepper coins'.Well, the anchor said it wasn't medieval, but generally the spice of a story set in the middle ages is worth a fortune, don't ask me how I know that. ]

[666 has already seen through, it's all a routine. ]

[Wait, what is that uncle doing?How did he put the gold coin on the other side of the scale?Did he want to weigh it with gold coins? ]

Horton certainly didn't want to use gold coins as weights. Gold coins will wear out when used, so they are not accurate.Moreover, there are special weights for weighing, so it is impossible to use gold coins instead.

Holden carefully picked up the peppercorns with tweezers, while carefully checking whether there were any bad things like weeds and gravel mixed in.

After operating for a long time, Holden turned his neck tiredly, and there was a clicking sound between the joints.

He saw the young oriental man staring at him all the time, but he didn't take it seriously, because every pepper was worth a lot, and he was afraid that he would hide one or two, and the shrewd oriental man would stare at him without blinking. That's normal.

Rather, it would be a ghost if the Orientals didn't stare at him.

Finishing half a sack of pepper in one go, even though Horton was used to this kind of work, he didn't feel a little tired.

The pepper brought by this oriental man is of high quality. He has carefully inspected it for a long time, but he did not see a piece of grass clipping or a trace of being eaten by insects.

However, this is not a reason for him to give up checking, because the cunning Orientals are likely to take advantage of his psychology and mix some shoddy things in the second half of the bag.

Each pepper was worth its weight in gold, and he could not be careless.

"Sir from the East, what should I call you?" Taking advantage of the rest, Horton asked Xia Yubing.

"My name is Xia."

"Mr. Xia, look, this is a Netherlands gold coin. We all use this to weigh the recent pepper transactions. After a while, after the transaction is over, I can help you exchange the Netherlands gold coin into a sun gold coin for free. You know, through the official You have to pay an extra transaction tax for channel exchange.”

"Then trouble you."

Unlike the Dutch gold coins, the sun gold coins are widely used, and Xia Yubing naturally has no reason to disagree.

Through the popular science of the businessman before, he knew that one sun gold coin can be exchanged for two Netherlands gold coins.

The sun gold coins minted by the Church of the Real Plane have higher gold content and value than the Dutch gold coins. Therefore, under normal circumstances, merchants like to exchange their currency for this more valuable gold coin.

While queuing outside the city, the businessman gave him a lot of popular science, but afraid that many newcomers would not know, Xia Yubing once again said to the audience in his heart (with the help of the system for dubbing): "The pepper trade in this world is very interesting. Look at it. On the left side of the balance is my pepper, the businessman was afraid that I would mix stones and sand into it, so he checked it very carefully.”

"Look at the right end of the scale. There are gold coins in it. Many viewers who just came here must have doubts in their minds. Why do you put gold coins in pepper? In fact, according to the rules here, he has to pay the same weight for my pepper. Give me the gold coins. It can be said that a catty of pepper is equal to a catty of gold coins."

[Although I knew that pepper would be so valuable, I was still very angry when I heard the anchor say that! ]

[I'm calculating how much pepper I can buy with one gold coin at the current price of gold, jealousy is tearing me apart...]

[Anchor, anchor!I bought a bag of pepper for five yuan in the supermarket downstairs from my house. Can you help me put the pepper in this world and sell it, and I can give me half of the gold coins sold! ]

[Is the anchor interested in purchasing on behalf of others?add me! ]

[I have long wanted to see the scene where pepper is exchanged for gold coins, but now I am satisfied with a copy, thanks to the anchor, it is so cool to watch! ]

The live broadcast room fell into a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred. Xia Yubing interacted with the audience casually, while continuing to stare at the businessman who was busy with pepper.

After working for more than an hour, the spice merchant finally weighed out the bag of spices.

When they reached the last dozen or so peppers, their weight could not hold down a gold coin, so the two bargained for a long time before deciding that the merchant would pay two moon silver coins in exchange for these precious peppers.
