The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

Chapter 25 Shopaholic Old Jack

After hearing the little girl's name, Ye Tianlong was really shocked. After all, Jamila was an NPC hero in the original version of Riding and Cutting! And because the initial level is very low, there is a lot of room for training. Players can train them into various types of heroes according to their own needs.

But the person in front of me doesn’t seem to be of the right age! I don't know if it's because the timeline he entered is really wrong, or if they just have the same name.

Looking at the thin body of the girl in front of him, Ye Tianlong sighed and asked: "Are you not hungry at home? Have you eaten the toffee I gave you yesterday?"

"Eat one! The others are for my parents. They have to work, so they need to eat more!"

"Oh! You are still young now. It is the time when you are growing, so you should eat more!"

Ye Tianlong was talking and saw that the other children had finished eating the spicy strips and ice soda and walked away. He took out a big steamed bun from a package beside him. He planned to buy this as his lunch. Several, after all, practicing riding skills must be very tiring. How can you have the strength to continue training if you don't eat enough!

"Here! These are steamed buns stuffed with pork!"

After Ye Tianlong handed the white flour steamed bun to the other party, in order to prevent the other party from going back and leaving it for his parents to eat, he told him: "Just eat it here!"

The girl seemed to have guessed Ye Tianlong's thoughts. She glanced at him gratefully, then squatted down next to Ye Tianlong and ate silently.

It can be seen that the girl is actually very hungry. A big white-flour steamed bun bigger than a fist was eaten by the other party in a few minutes.

Then the other party drank the soda completely. After eating and drinking, the girl suddenly asked Ye Tianlong: "Brother, why are you so nice to me?"

"Because you know how to be polite! You will definitely have a great future when you grow up! And I don't give you this steamed bun for free. I have a small task for you to complete!" Ye Tianlong on the side was also nibbling. Steamed Bun, he replied casually to the girl.

"What mission?"

"Do you know Lord Sol, the lord of your town? I want you to go and keep an eye on the opponent's castle. Once you find him out, come and notify me. I usually either set up a stall here or train over there at the training ground. Very So easy to find!”

The reason why Ye Tianlong gave this task to the little girl Jamila was also a second-hand plan. After all, the Potts housekeeper didn't seem to care much about his affairs and only knew how to collect taxes all day long. If this continues, He wanted to get a chance to meet the Baron, but he didn't know how long he would have to wait!

However, the other party will always go out, so he plans to ask Jamila to help him keep an eye on the other party during the day. Once the other party leaves the castle, he can find a way to meet the other party, and there is no need to wait for the introduction of the old guy Potts. .

"I know, big brother, I will help you keep an eye on it!" Jamila also learned from the people around her that Ye Tianlong wanted to ask the Potts housekeeper to help arrange a meeting with the Baron, so Naturally, she knew what the other party wanted her to do, and this task was not difficult for her, so she agreed wholeheartedly.

After that, the other party quickly rushed to the vicinity of the baron's castle and went directly to work.

After Jamila also left, Old Jack, the owner of the equipment shop not far away, slowly walked to Ye Tianlong's stall and continued to say to Ye Tianlong in that tone of hatred that iron cannot be transformed into steel: "You kid let me How can I say hello to you! How much money will it cost if you bring out a bunch of things every day to feed those little things? Just like today, your business hasn’t even opened yet! You have already taken out a lot of things. Let those little brats eat and drink. Are you really not afraid that those little brats whose stomachs are like bottomless pits will eat you up?"

"Hey! Old Jack, you've finished your nap! How about a glass of ice soda to refresh yourself!" Ye Tianlong completely ignored the other party's kind nagging, and instead raised a glass of ice soda and said to him.

"No! I don't have a good stomach. I can't drink something so cold!" Jack looked at the ice soda that was still smoking cold and quickly waved his hand to refuse.

"Oh! I have a bad stomach! You really can't drink this ice. Let me give you something else!" Ye Tianlong said, and quickly took out a cup of milk tea, opened it and poured out the milk tea powder inside. After putting it in the cup, rinse it with the warm water prepared in advance, and a cup of milk tea with an attractive aroma will be freshly baked.

After Old Jack asked about the alluring fragrance, he finally couldn't hold it back. He took the cup of milk tea from Ye Tianlong and took a sip. Suddenly, a sweetness that he had never experienced before was filled with him. into his mouth.

"This milk tea is so delicious! It's also a specialty from your Seris Empire, right? The old man has never seen this kind of drink on the Calradian Road before!"

"That's right! This milk tea is also a specialty drink from our Seris Empire. Our place has been at peace for nearly a hundred years, and everyone lives a stable life, so we have time to think about all kinds of delicious and fun things! It's not like that. Everything on your side has to serve the war! The nobles are eager to snatch away the last copper coins in the hands of the people!" Facing Old Jack's inquiry, Ye Tianlong replied with emotion.

And Old Jack, an old man who has lived for most of his life, is also quite touched by Ye Tianlong's words. On their continent of Calradia, because several countries are constantly fighting against each other, this war has never been heard of almost every year. , and sometimes even have to play several games a month on average. This has resulted in the lives of the lower class people living in Calradia being really miserable. The situation like this in the town of Odasan is not an isolated case, but a common phenomenon across the continent.

Because he was completely accustomed to this kind of war-torn days, Old Jack could not imagine for a while how prosperous the people's lives would be in a country that had enjoyed peace for nearly a hundred years.

If Ye Tianlong knew what the other party was thinking, he would definitely tell him that no matter what country or era he was in, the people at the bottom could never live a prosperous life. Even the people of the Xinghan Empire, which had been at peace for nearly a hundred years, were no exception.

Compared with the people at the bottom of other worlds, the people at the bottom of the Xinghan Empire can barely guarantee their food and clothing because of advances in technology and productivity. They are actually very poor themselves, and many of them can't even afford a room belonging to the family. I can't even afford my own house.

Ye Tianlong was one of them before, so when he met the poor people at the bottom of the world who had the same problem as him before, he had a rare kindness and actually left a bag to the farmer whose family was almost destitute. flour and a packet of table salt.

It's a pity that Ye Tianlong didn't know what Old Jack was thinking. He took advantage of the other party's slowly drinking milk tea and recommended various goods in his stall to him. After all, this person looked like the kind of person who really had money to spend. The boss!

Judging from the size of his shop and his ability to collect millions of silver coins in a short period of time, this person should be very rich and should be among the best in the entire town of Odasan.

Ye Tianlong's guess was indeed correct. Under Ye Tianlong's promotion, Old Jack soon had the idea of ​​​​consuming.

He squatted down, grabbed a handful of shelled rice, and asked Ye Tianlong carefully: "Is this rice also a specialty of your Seris Empire? How to sell it? How to make this? Can it be mixed with wheat? Grind it into powder and make it into bread or something?"

"Brother, this rice is cheap. You can buy such a large bag for only one dinar. In addition, it is not as complicated to cook as wheat. You don't need to grind it into powder. You can just rinse it with water and put it directly into the pot to cook. It will be ready to eat in about half an hour, but it has no taste. It is best to eat it with some side dishes..."

Listening to Ye Tianlong's detailed introduction, Old Jack gradually understood how to make this rice. Because it was not expensive, he took out a dinar and bought a bag to try it home.

A bag of rice from Ye Tianlong weighs about twenty kilograms, which is indeed very cheap. After all, this is not local wheat, but shipped from another continent far away across the ocean. The freight cost alone is not There are few, so it is normal for the selling price to be several times more expensive than local wheat.

After the first transaction was completed, the uncle seemed to have entered the shopaholic mode. He basically bought some various goods such as brown sugar, white sugar, corn, salt, and dried chili peppers. Most of them were It was a local specialty of Seris Continent that Ye Tianlong said. It was obvious that the uncle was planning to buy it back and try it out.

Of course, the main reason is that the prices of the goods sold by Ye Tianlong are not expensive, which can be called conscientious prices, so Old Jack does not feel distressed after spending the money, but feels that it is worth the money.

Unknowingly, the uncle spent more than thirty dinars with Ye Tianlong. Both parties felt that they had made a profit. Among them, Ye Tianlong really made a profit. After all, the goods he sold seemed to Old Jack The price is very cheap, but in fact it still has a high profit margin. Just like the salt, it is only a small bag, which is about half a catty. He sold it here for a high price of two dinars, and so Two silver coins, if exchanged for money from the Xinghan Empire, would cost at least thousands of dollars. When Ye Tianlong bought these salts, they were at wholesale prices, which were only a few dollars per pack, so his profits were as high as several thousand dollars. A hundred times, it was really Qin Shihuang who touched the electric door, and it was so embarrassing!

In the face of such high profits, it is impossible for Old Jack to worry that Ye Tianlong will lose money or even go bankrupt.
