Facing the enthusiastic crowd of applicants, Liu Xiao could only ask Abu and others to help him share the burden and do a preliminary screening.
He divided the crowd into four teams, and except for the Cyclops Bang Bang who stayed to watch the carriage, each of the others was responsible for one team.
This time, Liu Xiao's main recruitment focus was in the fields of logging, construction, excavation, and mining.
Anyone with these skills or work experience will be given priority for hiring.
After all, "996 blessings" are not something you can enjoy just by saying you enjoy them. We also have thresholds, okay?
Applicants were arranged to queue up for assessment, and Liu Xiao carried a backpack to the booth of the "listed company" with which he did business yesterday.
"Hey~ Hello boss~ We meet again~!"
Liu Xiao raised his hand to say hello, while the elderly human man bowed respectfully.
"Nice to see you again, dear Mr. Liu~ Your magic whisker root was sold yesterday almost as soon as you took it back~ and the buyer was quite satisfied with the quality~!"
The boss raised his head with a smile on his face and continued: "The villain's name is Brandy, and he comes from the 'Black Rock Chamber of Commerce' in the abandoned castle~ I very much hope to establish a long-term and stable cooperation with you, sir."
"Hehehe~ It's easy to talk~ My name is Liu Xiao, from the 'Fist Chamber of Commerce'~! Today is for the same purpose~ So let's... take a step to talk?"
Liu Xiao said, focusing on the luxurious carriage behind Brandy.
Since the carriage was delivered to Liu Xiao yesterday, today he replaced it with a carriage that was larger and more luxuriously decorated.
Brandy made a "please" gesture and said: "Master Liu, please come here. We will sit in the carriage and talk in detail."
Liu Xiao followed him into the carriage and realized that the interior of the carriage was even more luxurious than the exterior!
Not to mention the exquisite decorative carvings, just a layer of white carpet on the floor is worth a lot!
In addition, the space in the carriage is extremely spacious, and there is a short machine in the center.
This short plane is engraved with patterns of unknown meaning, which can actually prevent wine glasses and other objects placed on it from being affected by bumps in the road.
Liu Xiao was amazed in his heart, thinking that this must be related to the power of magic!
He forced himself not to look around like a country bumpkin, and only glanced briefly before focusing on the old man in front of him.
Brandy smiled and motioned for Liu Xiao to sit on the stall opposite him.
Then the old gentleman picked up the silver wine flask on the low plane and poured some into the transparent wine glass.
The amber-red wine was placed in a nearly transparent wine glass, exuding a rich aroma that made people salivate at the bottom of their tongues, making them want to take a sip immediately.
"Master Liu, what do you think of... this carriage?"
Liu Xiao's heart moved slightly, and he only replied with two words: "It's okay."
After hearing this, Brandy no longer mentioned the carriage, but picked up a beautiful wooden box on hand and placed it on her knees.
"Master Liu, since this is not the first time we have dealt with each other, I won't say any polite words... Today I brought a hundred shells of the best quality! And... thirty Rondo gold coins! I hope it can
In exchange for more high-quality pharmaceutical raw materials!"
Liu Xiao's expression did not change, but he added in his mind, "What an old boy! Are you planning to bully me for not knowing the market?"
Yes, before this transaction, Liu Xiao had already asked Johnson, the most knowledgeable dwarf among them, which currency is the most valuable in the world.
The answer he got surprised Liu Xiao.
It turns out that things like "shells" are only circulated in the "cursed land" and in very few places.
In the ruined castle and surrounding big cities, the currency commonly used by people is a currency called "Rondo Gold Coin".
Liu Xiao looked at the three neat rows of gold coins in the other party's wooden box and chuckled: "Mr. Brandy, why can't I see the sincerity of your Chamber of Commerce?"
After he finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to explain, he reached out and took out a plastic bag from his backpack, and threw it on the table with a "snap".
"Mr. Bronte, let's take a look at what I brought today first. Let's not be too busy bidding. Take a look and think about it. Let's talk about the price later~"
After Liu Xiao finished speaking, the old man leaned back, ready to admire the old gentleman's expression after seeing the "goods".
Sure enough, after Liu Xiao threw the plastic bag, Brandy's expression froze instantly.
"This...this is...!? The complete 'Devil's Spiritual Root'...the best 'Blue Grass'...and the extremely rare 'Hand of Death'...!"
Originally, he wanted to bargain with Liu Xiao little by little, but he never thought that the other party would come up and bring out so many precious materials, which shocked him and made him lose control of his emotions.
Liu Xiao's expression remained normal, but in his heart he was quickly matching the new names the other party mentioned with the Chinese herbal medicines he brought.
"'Mosu Linggen' is mountain ginseng...'Youlancao' should be isatis root...Then this 'hand of death'...is Tian Qi? Why is it named like this?"
This time Liu Xiao brought only three kinds of medicinal materials, namely wild ginseng, isatis root, and Tianqi.
He didn't want to take out too much at once, as he was afraid that the other party would be malicious and commit murder.
But he was overly worried in this regard.
The "Black Rock Chamber of Commerce" is one of the largest in the continent of Oden, and will never engage in such activities as murdering people for goods.
Seeing those Chinese herbal medicines of good quality and plump size, Brandy's expression changed again and again, and finally her eyes looking at Liu Xiao were obviously a little more fanatical.
"Sorry, Mr. Liu! I was rude just now."
Brandy sat on the spot, nodded to Liu Xiao and said: "Let all these damn shells disappear! My bid is...each 'Devil's Spirit Root' is converted into ten Rondo gold coins! The best."
Each Blue Grass plant is worth eight Rondo gold coins! As for the 'Hand of Death'... I can get thirty Rondo gold coins for each complete plant!"
Brandy roughly counted the medicinal materials in the plastic bag, and said in a deep voice: "The materials Mr. Liu took out today... I can get three hundred Rondo gold coins! In addition... I accounted for yesterday's transaction.
It's a big bargain... If Mr. Liu doesn't mind it, please accept this carriage!"
Liu Xiao nodded slightly, calculated it in his mind, and was quite satisfied with the price.
Moreover, he also liked this luxurious carriage. Most importantly, it contained magical elements, which made him very curious.
"Deal~Mr. Brandy~! Then... let's sign a simple agreement~! Of course, this is not a distrust of your chamber of commerce, on the contrary, it is a reflection of the importance I attach to this transaction.
"
Liu Xiao shrugged and took out a contract drawn up in advance from his backpack.
Although he didn't understand why the world also used Chinese, the result was exactly what he wanted.
"protocol?"
Brandy obviously didn't expect it, and her expression was a little confused.
But when he saw the contents of the agreement clearly, his eyes lit up and he said: "Oh~~This is like some documents signed by the two countries~What a good idea~! Hahaha~ You really surprised me~ I need
How?"
"Sign your name here, and then put your thumbprint...like this..."
Liu Xiao demonstrated pressing his fingerprints and asked the other party to do the same.
After everything is done, the agreement is made in two copies, and each person keeps one copy.
Although Liu Xiao also knows that things like contracts are somewhat just a formality for this alien world.
But he still did it, not for anything else but to keep statistics for himself.
After finally signing the deal, Liu Xiao was in a good mood and raised his glass and clinked it with the other party.
"Oh, by the way, Mr. Bronte, I have another question."
"Hehehe~~ Mr. Liu, feel free to ask~"
"I wonder if Mr. Bronte has ever heard of slave traders? Do you know where I can buy orcs from deep in the forest?"
"Oh? Slave? Master Liu is also interested in orcs?"
When Brandi heard Liu Xiao ask about the orc slave, her expression suddenly became a little strange.
Then he smiled, showing a look that every man could understand.
"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will find the best orc for you when I go back this time! And I promise...it will be the same one!"
"Ah? Then...which one?"
Liu Xiao was startled for a moment, then understood instantly and realized that the other party might have misunderstood.
However... he chose to acquiesce and did not explain. Instead, he had a little expectation in his heart.
