My Fort Supermarket

Chapter 20 Business of the Plaza

The next day, when the sky was just slightly bright, Johnny manipulated the body of the stone man, and in the yard temporarily reserved for him, he became familiar with the fruit ability that became more and more handy.

Maybe it was because the movement was a bit loud, but a few people standing outside the courtyard gate wearing the clothes of servants of the City Lord's Mansion couldn't help but turn their heads and look this way.One person ran out, probably to inform others of what was going on here.

……

"Okay, Wu Lian, you can start!"

Arriving at the large square in the center of the town, Jonny said to Wu Lian and the others standing aside in the stone castle, with a bit of unconcealable excitement in his tone.

"Yes!"

Wu Lian led a few people, and arranged the tables that had been prepared long ago, forming a big circle around them.Bags of rice flour, these staples take up half of it.The rest are miscellaneous grains such as peanuts, mung beans, cornmeal, barley and rice, next to them are carrots, onions, Chinese cabbage, and vegetarian dishes such as green onion, ginger and garlic.As for meat, there is only one kind, and that is pork.

Among the 25 tables, [-] and [-] tables are the staple food of rice and noodles, and among the remaining half, [-] tables are miscellaneous grains and vegetables.There are nine tables left, four of which are filled with pork, and the other five are filled with watermelons, apples, bananas, cantaloupe, grapes and other fruits.

"Don't grab or crowd! Line up in order, there are still a lot of things. Take the prepared gold coins and pay for them one by one!"

It has to be said that Viscount Dolan and Sir Yake are still very prestigious in this town of Rockmann.After they showed up with Wilkel and Wu Lian, commanded the noisy crowd, and began to organize in an orderly manner, things became orderly.

"It's great. Except for the fruits, which are only bought by the rich and nobles, the rest have sold a lot! Especially pork and rice noodles, which are the most sold today!"

Wu Lian and Wu Shi also took people to get busy, and Wake and Wu Ke took a few people to stand beside the stone man and Sir Yake, watching Viscount Dolan's face flushed in the distance, and also Followed by heartfelt excitement.

On the stone man's side, quite a few people lined up in two teams.One team holds items whose value has been roughly estimated, such as ores, herbs, gold and silver utensils, pearls, agates and the like. These people can directly exchange for some gold coins and then give them to the people who are queuing to buy things.

There were more people in the other line, longer than those in the pork and rice noodle line.There were more and more messy things in their hands, and some people were pushing the cart and pulling a cart full of unknown things, and they were lined up in this group.

In this large group, there are more Orion and ordinary residents than those who are obviously rich and noble.Therefore, the things in their hands are varied, and their values ​​fluctuate too much, so they line up in another line, waiting for people to send them to the pawn counter of the castle.It is also because of this that the queue here moves very slowly, and many people line up from morning to afternoon before it is their turn.

"Hey, the efficiency is a bit low! Today less than half of the town is here, and it may be even busier tomorrow!"

Sir Jacques was young, but he had a good eye.He could see at a glance that the biggest reason affecting the sales speed of those buying teams was that there were too few gold coin holders, and many people were still waiting to see.But he also believes that tomorrow will be better than today.

Of course, some people are complaining.After all, people usually still use silver coins, and the only ones who use gold coins are the wealthy families, nobles and merchants.Even among the nobles and wealthy businessmen, the gold coins in their hands have a slightly lower gold content. Only two coins can be equivalent to one gold coin in terms of purchasing power here.

"Oh my god, it's too much! Some people called me a vampire before. Compared to them, I'm just a kind-hearted businessman! Three gold coins and a small bag of rice. With our gold coins, we only need six! You know, before I One gold coin can buy more than a dozen bags of rice, and it’s still the best pearl rice!”

A businessman with a clean face, a slightly plump figure, and a short beard on the chin, making his whole person somewhat stable.But at this time, his eyes were wide open, looking at the piles of things that everyone had bought back, he picked up a washed apple, put it in his mouth, and complained while eating.

"Okay, I don't know who is still shouting last month, willing to buy a delicious apple with a hundred gold coins! Although it is a bit expensive now, will you be short of this gold coin? But find a time to talk to Luo But Duo Lan of the Mann family can discuss it, and it will be good if the market price can be restored to normal, this kind of behavior of taking advantage of the fire is too disrespectful!"

An old nobleman with a gray beard used a fork in an elegant manner, savoring the beautifully arranged fruits on the plate, and said in a deep voice with a bit of displeasure in his tone.

"However, I am more concerned, where did they get these! That stone man? Don't be kidding, even if these are just a little stuffed into his stone belly, he can burst him! How long has it been, how long have we had I have never enjoyed such deliciousness before!"

A young nobleman in his twenties, among the people sitting here, he was the only one with a smile on his face, while eating the long-lost sweet fruit in front of him, he whispered to himself as if talking to himself.

Some people complain that these things are too expensive to sell, but some people are happy that they have exchanged the valuable things in their hands for handfuls of heavy gold coins.

"Hey, old buddy, I'm so happy! Do you know, my carload of furs, in the hands of those vampire merchants, can be exchanged for a dozen silver coins at most! Today I even exchanged for seven gold coins , It’s a gold coin, it’s so beautiful, it’s much more beautiful than the ones in the hands of those noble masters!”

"Hey, my brother, guess how many gold coins I sold for a bag of stones! I'm not kidding you, thirteen gold coins are real gold coins! Look, this shiny look, you Listen, this swaying sweet voice, I really can't believe that I can have so many gold coins in my purse in my life!"

"Have you heard that the owner of that grocery store actually pawned more than 80 gold coins for the items in the store! Did you know that the old guy lost one of his front teeth when he laughed!"

"What you said is outdated. I saw just now that people from the medical center pulled several cars and took a lot of things back to the medical center! I heard that some of the medicinal herbs in their hands were very valuable, and they pawned more than 100 coins. Where are the gold coins? Now, they will make a fortune!"
