Chapter 671: Harvest Festival in Ore Town 2(1/2)
Although the residents of the town said they disliked this festival and thought it was just my nonsense, after the news of the harvest festival spread, many people still came one after another.
After I confiscated the prohibited goods they carried, I found that many people had gathered in Rose Square. Father Carter came to watch in amazement.
"Mrs. Anna, why did you come so early today?"
As one of the three phantom gods in the town and the owner of a substitute, Mr. Bakir's wife still has a very gentle attitude in front of people other than her husband and daughter, and never abuses her substitute ability.
She greeted me with a smile.
"Marcus, thanks to this harvest festival you organized, I haven't had a decent shopping trip in a long time."
She always had a smile on her face with a depressed expression, "Although the product scale is not comparable to that in the city, and it is not a decent brand... Oh, don't take it to heart, I'm not deliberately picking on anything..."
As she spoke, she stopped paying attention to me. She seemed to have taken a fancy to a bedside table brought by the caravan, and asked about the material, craftsmanship, and price with great interest.
Mr. Bakir was also late and stood in a daze at the food stall in front of Bauer. His back was no different from any middle-aged man who was pulled into the mall.
Could it be that he was forcibly captured by Mrs. Anna and is sulking?
"Mr. Bakir, didn't you go to Mount Madas to inspect the plants today?"
I patted his shoulder.
Mr. Bakir was still in mountaineering clothes, but he turned around and looked at me with eyes wide open: “I was originally going to go up the mountain, but Mary repeatedly emphasized today’s activities, so I came over first... I didn’t expect there was an unexpected gain!
"
Bravo, Mary!
Although I haven't been able to find you out of the crowd, you have to take credit!
"Unexpected gain? Professor, what are you referring to?" I asked curiously.
Mr. Bakir pointed excitedly at a pile of berries on the food stall.
Well, I recognize these things. They are just a mixture of various mixed berries that are common in Corillo Mountain. They can satisfy hunger when there is a lack of food. Even if they are eaten raw, they taste good, but they are not full. If you eat too much raw
It is also prone to acid reflux, so tribes have been eating it as a dessert.
"Did you see those small red fruits? If I'm not mistaken, they are low-acid marin fruits that are biologically extinct. I didn't expect to see them here!"
Bauer had been reprimanded by me before, and his attitude was trying to be as straight as possible at this time. When he saw Mr. Bakir's cheerful look, he knew that business was coming, and he quickly stepped forward and asked: "Sir, are you planning to have some berries?"
?”
"purchase!"
"Okay, there's not much here. It's 40 yuan for you to pack it. I'll weigh it directly by the kilogram as much as you want!"
Mr. Baqir smacked his lips and fumbled for a long time to take out nine large coins from his arms.
"You don't need so much..."
I only felt the strange sound of suona and erhu sounded one after another.
"Help me pick out the small red fruits inside and weigh them. Remember, only this kind is needed and nothing else is needed. Then help me wrap it up. By the way, remember to change..."
"...You came here just to entertain me!"
This plot is wrong!
Good guy, if I hadn't stopped him in time, the two sides almost started fighting. In the end, Mrs. Anna couldn't bear it anymore and bought all the berries. Then Mr. Bakir went home and sorted the berries as if nothing had happened.
It worked.
Although Mrs. Anna quarrels with her husband every day and always persecutes him financially, she is the one who is most willing to understand and tolerate Mr. Bakir, right?
Another dispute was resolved, and I felt that the Sheriff's badge on my chest became more vivid!
Returning to the transaction notary office set up for herself, Lin still maintained her position competently, even though no one had come to register the transaction information yet.
"Lin, you don't have any business? Then you can go shopping, I'll watch over here."
Lin nodded solemnly, "Okay, then I'll go see if Purbury needs any help!"
As the number of people participating in the harvest festival increased, I also sent several girls who were willing to help to different positions.
Lin helps me keep records in the trading office, Ellie serves as an emergency medical worker, Kallen works with Jay to regulate the market order, Purberry is responsible for guiding personnel, and Mary is responsible for using her own advantages to hide in the crowd and report illegal...
Except for the last one which seems unreliable, I think the other arrangements are perfect.
"Register me, three high-quality steel ingots, in exchange for a jacket."
An outrageous deal has occurred!
When I looked up, it was Frankie's smiling face.
I said suspiciously: "Three pieces of steel for a tattered jacket? Are the threads of your jacket made of gold, or are the buttons made of gold?"
"The customer insists on buying it, but I can't help it."
Franky pointed out his hand, and I looked in the direction. The other party to the transaction turned out to be Gray, who was wearing a bandage. At this time, he was holding a jacket and looking at it fondly.
"Gray, you, a prodigal boy, bought it for you! I think your grandfather will take out your spine sooner or later and turn you into a tiger."
I stepped forward to grab the jacket and checked the item property panel.
[Item name: Bulletproof jacket (general)]
[Item description: A tough fabric jacket covered with armor plates. Although it is not as tight as full-body armor, it can provide strong protection while taking into account comfort. The main point of use is to handle it with care.]

From a technical point of view, although this bulletproof jacket has no advantage in terms of weight - after all, it is impossible for the Brown Pool Tribe to develop Kevlar fiber and boron carbide ceramic bulletproof technology to create lightweight equipment, but the appearance of this jacket
It achieves perfect fusion, and there is no bulletproof effect at all.
"Boss, look, everyone who sees clothes like this will want to buy them!"
Sorry, only you can.
By the way, Gray, are you stupid? Buy a 14-pound jacket to protect yourself from bullets?
You can wear it to challenge the best martial arts club in the world, right?
"Didn't I just confiscate all the weapons I brought with you? Why do you still hide one? One armor holds three crossbows, and three armors will go to the underworld, do you understand?"
I asked Frankie first.
Franky still said innocently, "You can't blame me, sir. I was wearing it, but this guy insisted on buying it. As a traveling businessman, it's reasonable for me to wear a body armor when I go out, right?"
...What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.
"You want to buy it for research?" I turned to Gray and asked.
Gray nodded: "It will be of great help. You need this body armor as a reference when upgrading your armor!"
Thinking that the business that was open could not be dismantled, I agreed to register the transaction, and the first result of the barter list appeared.
Perhaps this was really a good sign. Immediately after, the second and third strokes came one after another, and I took great pleasure in recording them one by one.
After all the records were completed, I found that the largest trade deals were all made by old men. While the residents of the town were purchasing supplies from the Brown Pool Tribe, the two old men in Ore Town showed considerable business competition.
It has almost reversed the trade deficit.
On the contrary, Boss Dick, who was full of confidence when he arrived, only sold a few barrels of wine a day. The reason was that the wine was not as attractive as the strong and exciting tequila, which made Boss Dick call him despicable.
For example, Berthold quietly ordered someone to order a batch of axes, sickles, and hammers from the forge in Sebala. It was said that he also had the intention to order a textile processing machine.
The second best-selling product is the Udel Ranch run by another old man in town, Mucci.
Although there are various types of animals in the edge world, most of them are wild and untamable. The few docile and tame alpacas, snow oxen, and camels can only be used as pack transport and do not have much economic value.
The excellent breeds bred by Old Man Mucci, whether they were cows or sheep, were all in excellent condition and had high economic value. Berthold's eyes instantly lit up, and he took people to the pasture for a long time, and made an order on the spot.
I got cows and ten pairs of male and female sheep, and I want to take them back for breeding.
All I can say is, is it worthy of being a competitive ranch in the Federation? My ore ranch still has a long way to go in this regard...
But the strange thing is that the old man who reached the deal found me in private afterwards and inquired about the details of the other party in various ways, seeming to be a little wary.
Mucci still laughed heartily and asked me where I made this old friend. Sebala secretly told me to be careful with that person and stay away from him if there was a fight. And Berthold asked me directly what the two of them were doing.
To be continued...
