Chapter 954: To do business, you must know how to read words and looks
Xia Feng thought about it, this time he was going to go to the town to sell sandworms in person.
The sandworm was caught by him at the risk of his life, and the deep-sea monster dozens of meters long swam around in the water, and there was no shame in exchanging the effort for reward.
Of course, he did not entrust the sandworms to the villagers, but chose to sell them himself.
According to Uncle Minamino, sandworms are very rare in the entire eastern country, and many people have never heard of them, not to mention that they have never heard of them, so it can be speculated that that sandworm island is the only base camp of sandworms.
Including the sandworms caught by Victoria, they may have run away from home from that island.
.....
Except for the villagers of Nanno Village, the people of Dongguo have never seen sandworms, and the villagers who have seen sandworms dare not catch them, and this endless cycle has now been broken by him.
It's like a brand new product comes out, and the value of this thing is not determined by the market, but by the seller, because you can't find anything else but me.
Therefore, the starting point of selling sandworms is very important, and it can even be as expensive as it is, don't make small profits and quick turnover, take the high-end luxury route, and don't be afraid that no one will buy it, but too many people will buy it.
Because, at present, he has not completely occupied Sandworm Island, and he only picks up leaks on the shore, and he catches one or two every day to die.
....
The time to set off from home was relatively early, and just after noon, Xia Feng rushed to the town with a sandworm on his back.
He had been to this town several times before, so he was familiar with everything, and he didn't have to pay any rent or taxes here, and he just laid it on the ground, to put it bluntly, it was a stall.
Familiar with the road, Xia Feng first walked to the well where he fetched water before, and shouted arrogantly at the fat man who was smoking.
"Hey, that fat man, fetching water, it's cold."
The fat man's eyes squinted.
"Cool, 5 copper, hit it yourself."
"What kind of service, it's really troublesome to have to call Lord Ben personally."
Xia Feng muttered dissatisfiedly, threw the bucket directly into the well, and dragged up a bucket full of cool fresh water.
After filling the kettle, he took a few more sips and wiped his mouth.
"What, the money is owed first, and I will pay when I sell the things."
"Hey, stop me."
Hearing that he owed it, the fat man immediately stood up and grabbed Xia Feng's shoulder.
"I owe something, there is no such rule, hurry up and give money."
Xia Feng spread his hands.
"But I don't have any money right now."
"No money? If you don't have any money, what did you drag just now, and it's going to be cold directly. ”
At this moment, Xia Feng showed an extremely contemptuous look, this expression made the fat man who was originally reasonable look unconfident.
The fat man subconsciously took a half step back.
"You...... Why are you looking at me like this, drinking water and giving money, what's wrong? ”
Xia Feng pointed to the backpack behind him.
"Brother, I'm here to sell goods today, and I'll tell you secretly, I'm carrying a treasure here, and when I sell out, believe it or not, I'll buy your well directly?"
"This...."
Xia Feng patted the fat man on the shoulder.
"Isn't it 5 copper, brother, you have to know how to read words and emotions when doing business, you look at me, like a person who pays off his debts?"
The fat man originally wanted to say it, but at this moment, under Xia Feng's poor appearance, an inexplicable momentum made him unconsciously change his words.
"No.... Not like. ”
"That's right, what's your name?"
"My name is Kii."
Xia Feng looked very optimistic about him.
"Okay, Mujing, wait for now, when I finish my work today, I will directly deposit a month's water money with you first, that's all, bye."
"Oh..... Oh. ”
.....
At this time, it was noon, and almost all the villagers from the surrounding villages had arrived, and Xia Feng came to the so-called commercial street in the town with his backpack on his back and found a vacant seat where no one was.
He pulled out a piece of cloth and pressed a few stones on it, and then placed two strangely shaped sandworms on the cloth.
Because of their carapaces, from a distance, these two sandworms look like two peculiar stones, and when you look closer, they look more like stones, which can be described as completely unattractive.
At most, the villagers passing by here were swept away, and they obviously needed to buy some practical things more than this kind of "strange species" that they had never seen.
There is an endless stream of cries around him.
"Greens, freshly harvested greens, sell them cheaply!"
"Porcelain bowls, porcelain bowls, porcelain bowls, porcelain dishes, porcelain pots!"
"Spices, all kinds of spices are available, including your delicious and fresh dishes!"
Gradually, more and more people stopped in front of the stall next to him, and even a person specializing in selling stones opened, but he was still unattended here.
This situation is completely expected by Xia Feng, just like the first person in the world to eat crabs, it is not so easy to meet after all.
Pulling out the kettle, he took a leisurely drink, not in the slightest hurry.
After a while, just as he was about to fall asleep with his eyes squinted, at last, a little boy with a sugar gourd stopped in front of his stall.
The little boy, about three or four years old, wore open crotch pants and shouted by pointing at the sandworm on the ground.
"Mom, look, there's a monster!"
The little boy's mother glanced at the two strange-shaped sandworms, and her eyes were undisguised with disgust.
"Good baby, let's not get too close to the monster, be careful that it will bite, let's go."
The little boy was not happy to hear this.
"No, I want monsters, I want monsters!"
"No, no, no, we don't want to blame the beast, didn't Mom buy you a sugar gourd."
"But I want monsters."
The little boy's mother looked helpless, and she could see that even if she was a poor family, she still doted on her child.
The young mother looked at Xia Feng and asked tentatively.
"Well, may I ask, what are you selling?"
"It's a sandworm."
"Yes..... Crafts? ”
"No, sandworms are ingredients, a delicious seafood from the sea."
When she heard that it was seafood, the mother immediately associated creatures such as sandworms and lobsters, and although they looked weird, they were still edible.
"Okay, then may I ask you this sand ......."
"Sandworms."
"Oh, sandworms, how much is one?"
Xia Feng's expression was indifferent, and he stretched out a finger.
Seeing this finger, the mother immediately became calm.
"Huh? One actually costs 1 silver? ”
However, Xia Feng's next words gave this mother a super double for her incalmness.
"It's not 1 silver, it's 1 gold."
....
Xia Feng's tone when he said this price was not a hint of joking, and he was so serious that he seemed to be saying something that he took for granted.
Hearing his words, the mother was stunned, the villagers passing by were stunned, and the old man next to him who sold the sugar gourd for 3 copper coins and 1 was also stunned.
Only the little boy who had just shouted that he wanted to buy a monster blinked wide-eyed.
"Mom, I want it, buy it for me!"
There is a limit to doting, and the mother didn't say a word, and directly dragged the little boy away with a black face.
Of course, it's not because of how unacceptable the price Xia Feng said, but because the mother feels that she is wasting precious time in a conversation with a psychopath.
In the face of this outrageous offer, the pedestrians nearby were whispering, pointing at Xia Feng and his sky-high sandworms.
"You say, 'Is this man poor and crazy?'"
"He doesn't look like a madman, is this thing he sells really so godly?"
"I really haven't seen this thing, so it shouldn't be a medicine that cures all diseases."
"Even if it cures all diseases, 1 gold and 1 is too expensive, this is 1 gold, you can buy a bull's head."
....
These gossips Xia Feng was all taken as a deaf ear, but only the last sentence made his eyes widen in shock.
"Damn, that cow was expensive before!"
