Chapter 5 Agarwood? That thing is not easy to sell, cheap!
From the west side of the front yard, various crackling sounds came, and Fang Tian heard the sounds and walked slowly over.
This mercenary compound faces north and south and occupies a huge area - at least, for Fang Tian, who was used to every inch of land in his previous life, this place is simply too big. The compound is roughly divided into four parts. The one he is currently in
The place should be the residential area, which belongs to the backyard.
The front yard is separated by two walls, and the side yard on the east side is where cooking is done, as well as wells, stone mills, etc., are all there.
The west courtyard...
Fang Tian heard the sound and walked over, only to see twenty-three people practicing martial arts in the field, exhaling and laughing loudly.
This should be the so-called martial arts training ground.
It seemed that he was almost done practicing. When Captain Owen saw Fang Tian coming, he put down his posture, walked over, and greeted: "Little brother, are you up?"
"Captain, you're welcome, just call me Fang Tian." Fang Tian nodded and said, "Captain, are you practicing martial arts? Do you practice like this every morning?"
"Haha, you guys who eat, how can you not practice! What do you think? Give me some advice? It's a pity that Morrissey is not here now. He is the magician in our group. Otherwise, if you let him accompany you, you and he should have something to say.
" Owen stretched out his big hand and patted Fang Tian on the shoulder, leading him to sit down on a long wooden bench on the side of the field.
This wooden bench is the kind of long wooden board with two legs. Seeing this, Fang Tian couldn't help but think of the backrest chair in the park in his previous life.
There seems to be no shortage of wood in this world or this place. When can I find the time to buy some armchairs? At least they will look better than these bare ones. Even if you sit on them and take a nap, you won't be afraid of getting a green onion upside down.
Fang Tian fell on a bench several times when he was a child, which left a deep impression on him.
"Did Dick and the others start practicing martial arts at such a young age?"
Fang Tian saw Dick's little fat man and several little guys with their bare arms, practicing there in a precise manner. The postures were relatively simple, but they opened and closed with great force. There was also a little guy who was only about seven or eight years old.
There he was actually pushing a rolling stone made of big stone.
What was I doing when I was seven or eight years old? Fang Tian thought and thought, but couldn't remember.
"They're not young anymore. The youngest of these stupid boys is eight years old. Well, that's the one. His name is Oga." Owen was referring to the child who was pushing the stone mill.
Fang Tian nodded, speechless for a moment.
Seeing these adults and kids practicing martial arts, Fang Tian thought of something that might be useful to them.
Fang Tian's father, grandfather, and even his grandparents all knew medicine in his previous life, but the quality was not high. Although he was not the kind who only sold dog-skin plasters, he did sell dog-skin plasters, which was considered to be the best among ten miles and eight towns.
A little famous.
As the saying goes, there is no separation between medicine and martial arts. Fang Tian is no stranger to medicine and wine. When he was a child, he was soaked in medicine every day.
Fang Tian himself has never practiced any martial arts, but his father and grandfather all know a few tricks, and they can easily defeat more than seventy or eighty people.
Growing up in such a family environment, even if he didn't deliberately learn it, Fang Tian was extremely familiar with many prescriptions. If nothing else, it was when Fang Tian was forced by his grandfather to practice calligraphy when he was a child.
, what is written is the prescription!
There were not many prescriptions. Later, after Fang Tian learned some knowledge about traditional Chinese medicine, he also knew that those prescriptions were probably not based on a formal approach. However, one thing is without a doubt, that is, their effects are extremely effective and can be regarded as effective.
A veritable prescription.
But no matter how effective they are, Fang Tian had no chance to use them in his previous life.
When he grew up, he studied neither Chinese medicine nor Western medicine. In short, it had nothing to do with "medicine"!
The only habit he inherited from childhood is meditation, but after sitting for twenty years, he has become a martial arts master, not to mention not even a hair! A saying that Fang Tian's grandfather often said was "You can't rotten wood."
Eagle!"
But now, in such an environment, Fang Tian thought that the things he was forced to learn by his grandfather and father when he was a child in his previous life might come in handy!
However, there is a long time to come, so we can consider these things slowly. For now, it is better to settle down and become familiar with the environment.
When it was time to eat, Fang Tian discovered that today's breakfast was no longer broth and brown bread, but steamed pork with rice flour.
In fact, the two are just steaming and boiling, and adding some combinations. The change is not big. But their taste is indeed very different.
This is also a matter of habit.
For Fang Tian, he can make some meals that are at least delicious by just using local materials. But for Aunt Luo Lin, who was born and raised here, they have neither the ability nor the habit to change——
Everyone has lived this way, who would think of changing anything?
After today's breakfast, Fang Tian still received some praises from the little guys, and a few asked Fang Tian what kind of delicious food his brother would cook.
Then Fang Tian discovered that the children in this place were very idle.
Because there is no school to attend.
They don't need to read and write, and they can't go out as mercenaries at such a young age, and they can't even do some chores. Little boys like Dick who are over eight years old have to practice martial arts in the morning.
, and a little girl like Ivy has nothing to do all day long.
Fortunately, little Ivy is also nine years old.
In fact, let alone these children, even Captain Owen and the others, as mercenaries, do not go on missions every day, but they spend three days fishing and two days drying nets. This is not because they are lazy or anything.
, but in this world, in this era, the efficiency of time utilization is inherently so low.
Everyone does this!
After learning this, Fang Tian sighed. This world seems to be very suitable for retirement.
But his body is only thirteen years old now!
Isn’t it a little early to start caring for the elderly at the age of thirteen?
Fang Tian approached Captain Owen and said he wanted to go out for a stroll in the town, but Captain Owen decided to accompany him personally. On the one hand, it showed that he valued it, but on the other hand, he really had nothing to do!
So, when we went out, in addition to Fang Tian, Captain Owen and a big man named Hammer from the group, there were also about ten little carrot heads following behind.
While strolling around the town, Captain Owen explained some things about the town to Fang Tian.
As a result, Fang Tian's eyes were opened again. Many things he saw made him sigh even though he had good concentration.
In the market where meat is sold and slaughtered——
Question: How much does this pork cost per pound?
Answer: Four copper coins!
Fang Tian did the conversion, and it was probably equivalent to one yuan in RMB.
Question: Where are these pork bones? How much do they cost per pound?
Answer: One copper coin! It can be cheaper if you buy more!
Fang Tian burst into tears, remembering that in his previous life bones were so expensive that sometimes the price of one pound of ribs could buy two pounds of pork.
Fang Tian asked again, how to sell these offal offal?
As a result, I got a surprised look and an extremely generous reply: If you buy pork, these offal can be given away, free of charge!
In fact, this is nothing. What really caused Fang Tian to collapse was the lumber market——
Question: How to sell these wood?
Fang Tian asked, pointing to the solid redwood logs that were hard in texture and absolutely of the highest quality.
He gave me a big slap.
When Fang Tian was puzzled, Captain Owen explained that buying one for five means one gold and five tons!
Okay, one gold coin is five tons. So, converted into RMB, it is... fifty yuan for one ton? Fifty yuan for two thousand catties?
Is this the so-called tofu price in previous lives?
No, tofu is much more expensive than this!
Then Fang Tian searched in the wood market and found agarwood as expected. Fang Tian couldn't help but asked tremblingly, how to sell this kind of wood?
The answer I received was that although this kind of wood sometimes has a slight fragrance and can barely be regarded as fragrant wood, it does not look good and the material is relatively thick, so it is relatively cheap. One gold is ten tons, and relatively few people buy it!
This answer completely made Fang Tian collapse!
One gold coin is ten tons! If converted, it is one dollar and eighty kilograms, which is one dollar and 40,000 grams!
How embarrassing is this for those people in previous lives who spent tens of thousands of yuan to buy just one gram?
At this moment, Fang Tian was completely in a mess.
At the same time, he also had a new understanding of the forty gold coins Owen and the others spent to save him.
In such a price environment, forty gold coins were undoubtedly much heavier than he originally imagined. It turned out that a magic apprentice, without knowing whether he would live or die, was worthy of such treatment!
