The shopkeeper understood what Hurd meant by "potato flour."
Although the nouns are both potato flour, the meanings are different. One is something similar to semolina processed from potatoes, and the price is average; the other is potato flour that is only 10% of the most essence of the highest grade potatoes.
And they are made into thick vermicelli like udon noodles and packaged for sale. The most advanced ones even use two or three zero-level magics in the processing process, which is a noble food.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Mr. Hurd, if you want to buy potato flour that can be bought with copper coins, then I can find fresh ones for you for the sake of being a regular customer; but the kind that requires silver coins, you see me
This little shop——"
"I know you have it, and I also have silver coins." Hurd quickly took out a few silver coins.
The shopkeeper picked up the silver coin, bumped it in his hand, and said, "Are there any more?"
"ah?"
"You know, I don't have a license to sell that kind of stuff. What if-"
"Yes... yes." Hurd took out two more silver coins, thinking that since the money was paid, he asked by the way, "Do you have Lucolo grapes and white water?"
"I said, are you crazy? Your family is so greedy?" The shop owner was a little dumbfounded.
Forget about potato flour, Lukolu grapes are the most advanced wine-making material introduced from the Top Forest after the Fairy Temple was established. This is not accurate. In fact, there is no need to brew at all. You only need to crush the grapes and throw them in.
A bucket of water can be completely turned into good wine. However, this kind of grape is already a plant-based monster. Every year when the grape matures, it will use it as a "cannonball" to attack those who come near, causing them to become comatose with alcohol poisoning until they die on the spot——
It is such a level of alcohol that passing animals rot near their own plants for their own absorption. Its demand for land nutrients is much greater than that of crops, so the cost of planting and the strength of the growers are very high. Currently, there are only a few retired ones.
Silver-level adventurers and above and a small amount of Midori grow it. The fruits are expensive, and they are also food for nobles that commoners are not eligible to buy.
White water does not literally mean "white water". It is a hallucinogen-level seasoning made by Crounpis. Because it uses illusion to hint the taste buds, it can make the taste of food pleasant no matter what the dosage.
It is not too big and will not cause mental harm. The reason why it is called "white water" is because this water is opposite to the illegal addictive drug called "black powder" that is currently difficult to completely ban.
Noble food cannot be obtained with money, and mere possession of it by common people can constitute a crime.
At first, no one cared about it because they couldn't afford it. But as per capita income increased, some civilians who seized the opportunity to become slightly rich also began to care, so a black industry chain emerged.
"My daughter has found a good young man and is about to--" Hurd said.
"Oh," the shopkeeper said after understanding, "three gold grape coins."
As he said that, he collected a few gold coins that made a "ringing" sound, turned around and found a box of black fruits that had been enchanted with [conservation], and took out one.
"For white water and a bottle, gold coins..."
"No, no, I've used it before." Hurd quickly took out a small enchanted bottle and a few gold coins and put it on the table. After all, it was a magic potion, and white water must be packed in a special enchanted container to maintain its effect.
The shop owner also carefully took out his own bottle and poured the liquid into it, so as not to spill a drop. It is concentrated and can be held in a small bottle with only two fingers. After dilution, it can be used many times.
"I wish your daughter a happy future."
"Thank you." Hurd took the potato flour, grapes and bottles and was about to leave——
"Ahem~" Melphis put her hand in front of her mouth and pretended to cough.
This moment suddenly made the two people in the store seem to be out of their minds. Looking at their expressions, it seemed that the next moment would be the end of the world.
At this moment, the room seemed so quiet that it would make a noise if a pinhead dropped to the ground.
In fact, there was indeed a noise, because the sound caused by Hurd's shaking was really loud. He thought about running away, but Miko Ji didn't say anything first, even if it was the weakest sequence of Alice (Crown Pease is now dressed as Alice)
, he could even catch up with him in a few steps, slap him down, and take him away.
I heard that the people in the Fairy Temple are usually holy mothers. They can cure injuries and illnesses that should take days or even months to heal in seconds to minutes. The treatment is cost-effective, but their rules cannot be violated. Faced with this,
People who violate the rules can easily transform into beings more terrifying than cannibals.
No matter how determined people are, they cannot withstand their torture. They will crush the disobedient and use it as fertilizer for plants. In short, they will eat everything that dares to disobey "gods", from body to spirit to all external objects.
There is no leftover (Crownpith requires his children not to waste any resources).
Hurd wondered if it was his turn this time?
Random visits to the Fairy Temple are actually rare. There are definitely many civilians who secretly buy excess luxury goods. With so many people in the Empire, only a few are caught every year, but why are they so unlucky this time?
Should I be glad that what I bought was not too much. How many times the fine was at most in gold coins, and how many years in jail could I get out?
"What about the wedding banquet?" Melphis said with a "kind" smile.
Ignoring the trembling guy, the shop owner rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I didn't expect that the miko-sama would come here at this time and make the shop shine. What do you want to order?"
"Ahhh~" Melifiss did not answer the shopkeeper, but stroked her head and sighed, "Why isn't my father so good to me?"
As he said that, he picked up the bottle of white water, dipped it with his nails, put it in his mouth and licked it, and smiled: "It's the real thing, but it's different when you put it in dishes. It's really pleasant to eat it like this. Since it's this
Sir, you bought it, want to try it?"
"No, no, thank you, ah, ha - it's for my daughter." Hurd stammered, trembling. He thought to himself that this was not "hospice care".
"Ah, your daughter is so lucky. I was sold by my parents back then, but if it hadn't happened that ordinary people might not have survived, I wouldn't be able to reach the strength and status I have today." Melifis said.
Putting the bottle on the table, he turned around with an indifferent expression and hugged Crounpis's face, covering the goblin's eyes, "You go, I can still coax her."
Normally, Crounpis would have started complaining a long time ago, but now she smelled the atmosphere of the performance, so she silently hid her face in Melphis' arms and remained silent.
For the first time, Hurd felt that life was so wonderful. He quickly kowtowed and thanked her, put away his things and almost staggered away. He was really afraid that this temporary idea would disappear at any time.
Melissa looked outside to make sure that the man would not come back, then let go of Crownpis and walked to the counter.
"Is the business going well? This gentleman is very interested in your business. Let me introduce you to you." Melphis touched Crownpis's head and said to the shopkeeper.
