Chapter 127
Standing outside the warehouse, Chi Yan watched the servants bring out jars of sugar and wine. The outside was already crowded with merchants, all holding money bags in their arms. This time, Chi Yan asked the manager to convey the words clearly, No copper coins, only gold and silver.
The current gold and silver are impure and look dusty unless they have been carefully refined and polished, but the refined and polished ones are more like decorations than "money".
The merchants held their money bags tightly, and their servants were crowded around them, and they stretched their heads to look in.
The jar was opened, and the sesame candy and hard candy showed their real bodies. The price of sesame candy is much cheaper than hard candy, and hard candy is the real price. The wild fruit, but the effect is very little. This thing grows well in the wild, but after being carefully cultivated, it becomes delicate, and each one becomes smaller when it matures.
Although sesame candy is cheap, it is only compared with hard candy, and the price alone is also very considerable.
The price of wine is lower than that of sugar, and there is no need to worry about sales, so small merchants come here for wine.
After Chi Yan turned around and scanned everything with his eyes, he nodded to Albert who was guarding at the side. Albert understood and walked out with the guards. He shouted to the businessmen outside: "Buy The sugar ones come in first! Don’t squeeze, anyone who squeezes will be kicked out and don’t buy it!”
He had a loud voice, but the businessmen were making noise, and the people behind still couldn't hear clearly. Albert could only shout a few more times at the top of his voice, exhausted from shouting, and felt that it was more tiring than fighting with people.
Fortunately, everyone understood. The guards opened an opening, and the merchants who wanted to buy sugar walked in one by one, and they couldn't wait to gather around the sugar bowl. In their eyes, these sweet lumps were not sugar, but gold.
Chi Yan nodded to Kadi again, and then sat in the shed behind. This shed is different from the registered shed. Although the top of the head is still made of straw and leaves, the pillars are hung with fine gauze. Originally, Chi Yan was I'm not going to bother, but the old butler insists on doing this.
The old butler said this: "My lord, you are no longer a manor owner. You must let them remember your identity at all times, and let them know who is the owner here. They respect you so that they dare not harm you." Interests."
The old housekeeper said clearly: "They will deceive a kind person, but they will never deceive a person who can punish them."
After being read by the old housekeeper for two days, Chi Yan finally agreed to such extravagance.
The ground here has been elevated, and sitting at Chi Yan's angle, he can see all the merchants and goods condescendingly.
Kleist was sitting next to Chi Yan. He was looking at a dagger in his hand. This dagger was sent by Sakerd. The dwarves spent a lot of time finding a new steelmaking method, and the steelmaking speed It is much faster than before, and the probability of making defective products is much smaller.
The quality of the steel has also been slightly improved.
Seeing Kleist's serious expression, Chi Yan leaned over and asked, "How is it? Is it well built?"
Kleist slid the open side across his palm, and a bone-deep wound appeared on his palm instantly, and blood dripped down to the ground along the wound, but Kleist didn't seem to notice it, if he Looking at the dagger thoughtfully, he didn't reply to Chi Yan's words.
Chi Yan: "..."
"You are crazy!"
Chi Yan was so angry that he quickly said to the servant behind him, "Hurry up and get the medicine to stop the bleeding! There are also clean cloth strips, and a pot of clean water, the kind that has been boiled."
He did not speak fluently, but fortunately the manservant had good ears, and after he heard it clearly, he hurried towards the castle.
Chi Yan really wanted to give Kleist a punch, but now that Kleist was "injured", Chi Yan could only squeeze his fist and squeeze out a sentence between his teeth: "Are you too free? Why aren't you here?" A knife on the wrist?!"
Kleist, who was contemplating, finally heard Chi Yan's words. Before he could understand why Chi Yan was angry, Chi Yan grabbed his wrist. Chi Yan squatted in front of Kleist, with a pair of warnings, very fiercely Staring at each other: "Spread your hands."
Krystal spread his hands obediently.
There is no residual mark of a scar on the palm of the hand.
Kleist comforted in a low voice: "After the last transformation, the wound healed faster than before, don't worry."
Chi Yan's anger did not subside because of the healing of Kleist's wound. He glared at Kleist with unreasonable eyes: "You can't try it with wood? Can't you try it with prey? You try it yourself? What are you doing?" What's wrong?"
Kleist: "..."
Chi Yan: "Do you think you can do whatever you want when your injury heals quickly?"
Chi Yan was furious, and said incessantly, "You heal quickly, but it doesn't mean you won't hurt. Did you hurt just now?"
Kleist didn't dare to tell the truth at this time, so he could only lie: "It hurts."
Chi Yan: "It's right to know it hurts, will you do it next time?"
Kleist smiled helplessly: "No row."
Only then did Chi Yan return to his seat and sit down, and said earnestly, "You are not young anymore, can you take care of yourself?"
Kleist smiled helplessly, but his eyes were warm.
In this world, Chi Yan is probably the only one who cares about his pain.
Although he really doesn't feel pain, it's always good to have someone to care about.
This episode caused Chi Yan to fail to hear what Kadi said just now, and now he has entered the auction session. Instead of raising a placard for the auction, he raised his hand to signal, and then called out the price himself.
The goods are shot in batches.
There were twenty tins of sugar in one batch, and the first ones were the most beautiful, as clear as crystal.
The base price of this batch is also very high, and the auction starts with hardware coins.
There are also rules in the auction. It will not be sold if it is lower than the reserve price set by Chi Yan, and it will not be sold if only one person bids.
The main purpose is to prevent the merchants from colluding, setting prices secretly, and dividing up the goods when they go back. In this way, it is Chi Yan who will lose money—in fact, he will not lose money, but he does not earn that much. Chi Yan does not want to be slaughtered like a fat sheep .
Chi Yan: "When I had no money, I didn't feel bad about spending it. Now that I have money, I pick it up instead."
Chi Yan stroked his chin, and felt that it was a good thing he hadn't gone back to ancient China, otherwise he would definitely be skinning next week.
Lilia was the first to bid: "Eight gold coins!"
Someone next to him let out a "huh".
People were about to talk, but just as they opened their mouths, the guard next to them walked towards them.
"If you talk during the auction, throw it out if you are found." The guard looked fierce, and his tone was not very good.
Several businessmen who were about to speak shivered and shut their mouths quickly.
The guards in other cities are not as majestic as these guards.
All of them were as fierce as they had been on the battlefield, and they didn't know who offended them.
Fei Qi gritted his teeth: "I will offer ten!"
Lilia glared at him, but she didn't continue shouting yet.
Cardi asked, "Is no one raising the price?"
Raising a hand from the crowd, Lauren shouted, "I'll give you ten gold coins and one silver coin."
Just now Lilia and Fitch added too much, people didn't realize that they could increase it little by little, Lauren made a start, and the merchants immediately continued to shout.
Until the twelve gold coins were called.
The merchants stopped shouting.
If you take the sugar back at this price, you can only sell it for fourteen gold coins, and you may not be able to sell it. In addition, you have to spend travel expenses before selling it. You have to give slaves and servants a bite to eat. If you make a profit but lose money, that's bad luck.
Kadi looked around, and he knew it in his heart, so he continued to shout: "One time for twelve gold coins, two times for twelve gold coins, three times for twelve gold coins, deal!"
It was Lauren who finally bought the batch of hard candies.
Lauren was squeezed in the back. In fact, he didn't see the quality of the candy clearly. He just gambled like a blind man. If he wins the bet, he will get rich. Sugar, even if you lose money, your losses are limited.
In the worst case, you can still send it out as a favor, so that you can get through.
After the kid who was waiting next to him confirmed that Lauren would not continue to take pictures of the goods, he took him to the open space behind: "Master, I will go out and call your buddy for you. You load the goods from this side, go out from there, and arrive at It's time to put a gray sackcloth on your car so you can't see anything from the outside."
This also counts as a negligible protection for merchants.
Lauren was very moved: "This is for you."
The child opened his hands and let Lauren give him three copper coins.
This is a big deal, usually only one piece at most, the child grinned at Lauren, he just lost two front teeth, and now he smiles like this is very funny, Lauren sees the child's smile, and his mood improves Not a lot.
The auction is still going on, and the merchants are more cautious in bidding. After all, auctions are not the only way of buying and selling on Chi Yan's side.
When buying and selling slaves in the market, especially elf slaves, they all use auctions.
Lilia and Fei Qi seemed to be competing with each other. They compared prices with each other. In the end, Lilia bought a batch of candy with ten gold coins, and Fitch bought a batch of candy with eight gold coins and six silver coins.
These sugars are all divided, the lighter the color, the more expensive the price, and the darker the cheaper.
When Lilia went to pick up the goods, she passed Fei Qi, and she said softly, "Master Fei Qi, did you spend a lot of money this time? Can you afford so much gold coins? Don't slap your face like a fat man."
Fitch pursed his lips tightly, he didn't want to scold Lilia, it was not good-looking: "It's better than taking pictures with ten gold coins."
He can save a lot. For the same [-] cans of sugar, even if the colors are different, the selling price will not be too different.
Lilia smiled and said, "Noble gentlemen are not short of money, even if I sell it at a higher price, they will buy it."
Sugar represents status, it is expensive anyway, since you have money, why not buy something that looks more beautiful?
Fei Qi looked at Lilia, and the two of them fought secretly, and all the people around them avoided.
They were still blocked outside, and the merchants waiting for the wine auction were waiting eagerly.
Surrounded by the maids and separated from the smelly men, Benjamin held the money bag and waited for the guards to let them in.
There are civilians watching the excitement outside.
At this time, Stettin looks like a bustling city.
