Chapter 301 Your Daughter Is so Happy

In the end, Ye Ge gave in.

Since she is controlled by others and cannot fight back violently, what else can she do? I can only endure it...

So Tang En found the spice trading market very happily.

Illus...or rather, the spice trade in Purandar is actually very prosperous. Many large and small chambers of commerce are engaged in some spice trade. After all, this kind of thing is easy to preserve and can be stored for a long time. The most important thing is its size. Prices are high for small units – where can I find something more suitable?

Magic crystals are certainly a better commodity, but the problem has been mentioned before. The cost of magic crystals is high and the profits are low. Moreover, the main market is only the City of Silver. Those who are qualified to go to the Silver City to do large-scale magic crystal transactions are the big chambers of commerce. , the big chamber of commerce does business with the City of Silver. Making money is a trivial matter, or even losing money. The most important thing is to be able to establish a line with the City of Silver, and then sell the treasures made by the magicians inside - that is Big money maker.

How could a small businessman travel thousands of miles to do uneconomical business?

Therefore, for the vast majority of low-level traveling merchants, spices are the best trading products. A horse can carry bags of spices and go on the road. As long as you buy them at a low price from the place of origin, you can make money by transporting them to another city. Get good profits.

As soon as he entered the spice market, Tang En smelled a strong smell that was very familiar to the earth. It was a mixed smell of various seasonings, and it was also the lingering smell of the farmers' market.

"ah……"

Seeing Tang En taking a deep breath with an intoxicated look on his face, Yege, Tina and Elsa all looked puzzled. Isn't it just some spices? Why are you so excited?

After all, this world is not the earth. They have not experienced the crazy spice trade that was more expensive than gold in medieval Europe. Various native spices were transplanted to various places with the development of goblins and dwarfs very early on. Later, after the birth of humans, The transplanted spices have adapted to climate changes, and people just sit back and enjoy the benefits. Although the prices of spices are hyped to be relatively expensive, that is because some weird uses have led to too much consumption of spices, and the production capacity cannot keep up. consumption, but the price is not so expensive that no one can afford it.

Because of this, the girls were surprised by Tang En's appearance - people on Earth would probably be equally surprised to see a billionaire lamenting over the spicy hotpot on the street...

"Lord, you... like spices very much?"

"Of course! This is the source of delicious food!"

"The source of delicious food?"

Tina was stunned: "As far as I know, there are not many spices used for cooking...pepper, cloves, cumin (note)..."

"That's because your cooking culture is too backward."

Regarding this question, Tang En, who was born in a big foodie empire, certainly disdained to explain. This civilization that has developed for tens of thousands of years has not developed a supporting cooking culture. It is simply a shame for mankind!

After all, the people in the Big Foodie Empire claim to eat everything they can and turn the unpalatable stuff into medicine. Even the invasion of alien species can be turned into a carnival feast. Once it is labeled, the meat will be delicious. , nutrient-rich and other labels, it is equivalent to inserting the death flag.

Unlike Western cooking methods that focus on the taste of the ingredients themselves, since the ingredients used in many Eastern dishes have various disadvantages, such as fishy or muttony smells, it is necessary to cover up the bad shortcomings of the ingredients themselves and highlight the advantages. In this case Next, the importance of spices, or cooking condiments, naturally comes to the fore.

After eating fancy barbecue for several months and finally finding peppers that had not been developed by the aborigines here, he reluctantly improved the food. Now there are so many new seasonings here that Tang En feels like he is I saw a wonderful future.

He has already smelled some familiar smells, peppercorns, peppercorns, fennel, cinnamon, etc...

Tang En came to a bearded merchant selling Sichuan peppercorns and almost shed tears because there were not only Sichuan peppercorns but also Sichuan peppercorns... hot pot! Must eat hotpot tonight!

Tang En asked almost impatiently: "How to sell it?"

When the bearded businessman saw Tang En taking a few beauties shopping, he immediately understood that he was in for big business. He said with a smile: "A portion of Sichuan peppercorns is worth eight gold coins, and a portion of Sichuan peppercorns is worth ten gold coins. I'm not bragging. The entire market The quality of the Sichuan peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns I buy here is the best! Many people who used them a few years ago have successfully awakened their talents!"

Tang En's face twitched a little, and this was the part that hurt him the most.

As mentioned before, many people in Purandar believe that certain spices have mysterious powers that can stimulate potential and make it easier to awaken talents and become enlightened ones. Based on the idea of ​​​​"I would rather believe what they have than what they don't have", many families will buy it There are many spices used to make incense, or used to bathe children in anticipation of awakening their talents—unfortunately, Sichuan peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns are among the best.

This may be another superstition.

One portion of this bearded merchant's mouth is a small bag, which is about forty to less than fifty grams. Because the standard units are not uniform across Purandar, traveling merchants will separate them according to local customary units before going to other places to trade. Good product and good price.

More than forty grams of ten gold coins, according to the current exchange rate, is equivalent to one gram of peppercorns and twenty-five silver coins. The price is quite expensive, and ordinary residents may have to grit their teeth to buy it.

In the country of origin, the price may be as low as eight to ten silver coins per gram, but there are various risks in transporting it such a long distance. If there is not a profit of three or four times, who is willing to do it?

The price will not change. At most, it will be difficult to sell. It will not be impossible to sell. The businessman has been prepared to fight for a long time and even spend the winter here, but he did not expect that he would meet a rich man.

Tang En waved his hand: "How many!? I want them all!"

What do you do with so much money? What you don’t bring with you in life will not be taken with you in death. Of course, money is used to enjoy life!

Eating comfortably is the first enjoyment in life.

After Tang En came to this world, the only thing he was dissatisfied about was eating. Now that he can solve this problem with some gold coins, what else does he have to be dissatisfied with?

"Want it all!?"

The bearded businessman's eyes widened: "Are you sure!? In addition to the one hundred servings here, I have about three thousand servings of Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns in stock at the back. If you can eat it, I can give you every serving." I’ll give you a gold coin discount.”

After finishing speaking, the bearded businessman looked at Tang En anxiously, fearing that he would not be able to eat this amount.

Tang En said cheerfully: "Bring them all! This is the deposit, and the rest will be transferred!"

The bearded businessman took the bag and shook it gently, and was immediately overjoyed: "Please wait a moment!"

The next moment he rushed into the back house like crazy, and then there was a flurry of excitement inside. The sleepy slaves were awakened by him, and then began to move bags out.

Looking at the slaves who were obviously malnourished, Tang En secretly shook his head. The value of these slaves was not even as good as the same weight of spices. Is this their luck or their sorrow?

After transferring the money, the bearded businessman rubbed his hands and said with a flattering look on his face: "Your daughter is so happy. Distinguished guest, where do you want me to send these things? I can send them directly to your house."

The smile on Tang En's face suddenly froze.

He looked back at Ilia who was not far away.

daughter?

Do I look that old?

"No."

As soon as Tang En raised his hand, the bags of Sichuan peppercorns and peppercorns flew into the portable space.

"Magician!?"

The bearded businessman was stunned for a moment, and then was overwhelmed by the ecstasy.

did you see! ? Did you all see it? ?

Even the magician came to buy my peppercorns and peppercorns!

Doesn’t this just prove that my Sichuan peppercorns and Sichuan peppercorns are the best! ?

This is the best publicity!

Didn’t you see that the businessmen around him were almost jealous of him?

"The stuff is good. Besides," Tang En said expressionlessly, "she is not my daughter, and I am not married yet."

The smile on the bearded businessman's face froze.

For the first time in his life, he felt the feeling of flattering a horse on its hooves...

The dashing Tang En continued to make purchases in the spice market, frantically sweeping up all the spices he was familiar with, and became the hottest big fat sheep in the market area today. Wherever he went, he would receive scorching eyes - the merchants looked at him. His affectionate eyes were much more passionate than when he looked at those tavern waiters and street prostitutes.

Of course, at this moment, Tang En would never have thought that just because he wanted to satisfy his appetite, he went out to make a big purchase, but it gave countless people an abnormal signal.

First were the merchants who noticed that he was a magician.

When a magician comes to buy these spices, doesn't it prove that these spices do have some mysterious power?

Then in just a few days, the overall price of spices rose a lot!

And this is not over yet!

Don’t forget those people who were severely cheated by Tang En after the magic crystal market was maliciously shorted by him!

Whether it is the Kadir family, the Spade family, or even those in the Business Alliance, after being deceived by Tang En, they are now paying close attention to his every move, carefully analyzing any clues in it, and guessing who he is. Is there any intention?

Soon, Tang En's big purchase in the spice market was revealed to these people.

Then these people got big heads.

They didn't know how to judge Tang En's purpose, so now they could only rely on instinct to buy and buy!

As a result, the price of spices further skyrocketed, even doubling at one point, causing countless families to lament!

Of course, Tang En doesn't know what happened after this. He is just excited now that he can finally eat hot pot after a long absence...
