Chapter 59 Old Market
With a good mood, I put Bell into the breast pocket of his coat and let his head show out.
Living in a market, even though you wake up to the noise every morning, you can still contact all kinds of vendors at the first time and know the price changes of various items.
"Although I'm not very sensitive to numbers, after staying here for a long time, I still know what the price of something is."
Walking on the street, Edu expressed that he knew the place well.
At least, he won't be stabbed to death like outsiders when he goes shopping.
There are two large fixed markets in Cangxing City. One is the old market where Edu is now. There is no threshold. You can set up a stall by throwing a piece of cloth on the ground.
The extremely low threshold allows for a variety of goods here, ranging from ordinary people's daily life to urgent supplies for professionals. You can always find it here if you have the patience to look for it.
To the east of Cangxing City, there is also a large market that has only been established for a few years.
However, that market only serves professionals. The cost of entering the market to set up stalls is very high, and customers need to pay extra fees to enter the market.
It is said that the goods sold there are all consumed by mid- to high-level adventurers.
However, since entering the new market requires three copper coins, and setting up a stall requires paying a stall fee of one silver coin, Edu has never visited the new market. He only knows that there is such a market in the city.
"In the old city, the shops that are always guarded are time-honored brands that sell hard currency. They have sufficient supplies of goods and are not afraid of not being able to sell them."
Edu took Bell through the streets, and he pointed at the armor shops and weapon shops on the roadside. These shops are all old shops that have existed for many years.
They maintain good relationships with the blacksmiths and leather shops of various large adventure groups. At the same time, they also have their own trained leatherworkers and blacksmiths.
If you want to quickly assemble a set of armor and weapons, these old stores must be a good choice.
"Of course, if you have enough time, you can also take a look at the street stalls around you. People often find good things in the street stalls."
In the gaps between street shops and under the eaves, there are a large number of scattered stalls of various shapes.
There are mobile vendors set up on wooden stands, as well as temporary stalls sitting on the ground.
There are not only weapons and armors that are needed by adventurers, but also a large amount of dry food, vegetables, and building materials...
Edu spent a copper coin to buy three low-quality toasts on the roadside, which are the cheapest food outside.
If Edu hadn't suddenly got a lot of money in his pocket, he would never buy bread outside. If he only bought food raw materials for this copper coin and let Edu process it by himself, he could eat it for two or three days.
Of course, there is a more important reason for buying bread. He has to get Belle something to eat. This is called hospitality.
"Speaking of which, you have a lot of food vendors here, and people are used to having breakfast..."
Holding one-eighth of the bread handed over by Edu with his paws, this baked bread from another world is a bit big. It is as long as Edu’s forearm and as thick as both hands. It can be eaten for several days.
Portion.
While chewing, Bell was curious about the various food shops in the market that were particularly popular.
Along the way, Bell saw many vendors selling toast, boiled eggs, and various other foods. There were even barbecue stalls in business.
In a medieval-style city, there are so many foods for sale, which is beyond Bell's imagination.
You know, in the world before Bell's reincarnation, it took only a few decades for ordinary people to have enough to eat.
The food in this other world is plentiful and the price is not too high. An ordinary adventurer can feed a family of three just for doing odd jobs.
Bell wanted to know how people here produced food and how much food they produced.
Explore deeper, how people's eating habits are formed, and the nutritional value of food from other worlds...
"Mr. Bell always asks strange but reasonable questions."
Walking in the old market, Edu wanted to answer some of Bell's casual questions, but he didn't know much about these things.
Among the various questions raised by Bell, Edu only knew that the concept of "eating breakfast every day" has been promoted by the Warriors Guild.
As the largest leader in the meat profession, the influence of the Warrior Guild in the city cannot be ignored.
Many of the things they advocate have been integrated into the lives of ordinary people.
For example, ‘Eating breakfast every day’, ‘Children’s sports training’, ‘The importance of meat, eggs, milk and other foods to human growth’…
When it comes to the development of the human body, warriors are professionals. Many legendary and astonishing hand-to-hand combat professionals started out as apprentice-level warriors.
"Soldiers have always attached great importance to the nourishing effect of food on the body. All the gourmets in Cangxing City are from the Warriors Guild."
Listening to Edu talk about these things broke Bell's stereotype of warriors.
Warriors are not just a group of guys with strong limbs and simple minds. Many of them are also extremely intelligent and are working hard to make the world a better place.
"I still don't know enough about the professions in this world. If possible, you have to take me to visit every professional guild."
"Then we have to wait until I successfully become a bard. Two and a half months is not a long time."
While chatting casually, Bell suddenly saw a group of people gathered in front of a street stall. This group of people were loose and did not have the tempered feeling of adventurers.
But the clothes they wear are much more high-end than those of the pedestrians walking around. At first glance, they have a soft feeling of silk.
This group of people aroused Bell's curiosity, and he asked Edu to walk over to see what kind of goods could bring this group of people together.
"The quality of your material is good. If it were the fur of a shadow leopard, I would be willing to recycle it for one gold coin. But unfortunately, this is only the fur of a red fox, and it is only worth three silver coins at most."
As soon as he got closer, Edu heard the sound of one of them bargaining with the stall owner.
This is a stall set up by a small adventure group. They have just returned to Cangxing City and are selling Warcraft materials.
Bell took a cursory glance and found a lot of magic-rich Warcraft materials on this stall.
But compared to the materials with high magic power that they put on display, these rich people in front of them were more interested in the magic fur on the stalls.
They are all professional businessmen who hang out in the market. Compared with other Warcraft materials that are difficult to use, the smooth and excellent texture of fur is an extremely popular commodity.
After the merchants collect the furs and have them processed by their cobblers and tailors, they can turn these ordinary Warcraft furs into luxury goods that are three or four times the price.
