Based on the experience last time, Laurie Grocer and his team came directly to the square of Maiye Village.
However, when they arrived, there were already two civilian caravans in the square.
The two caravans had already begun to take stock of their goods under the reception of Butler Thomas, and a large amount of white salt, dried fish, and brown sugar and black bread were loaded into baskets.
"Salt and dried fish are so cheap in the Storm Territory. We must not be the only caravans coming to buy. People from other territories will naturally come too!" Laurie is not surprised. Anyway, these caravans are not from the Black Rock Territory and have nothing to do with him.
any conflict.
"Let's go there!" However, having said that, Laurie didn't know if the goods in the Storm Territory were sufficient, so he immediately led everyone towards Thomas.
"Lord Thomas!"
"Oh, Laurie Grocer, you're here again!" Thomas immediately smiled when he saw Laurie.
This is the first repeat customer, and as adults would say, this is definitely a good sign.
"Sir Thomas, because the salt and dried fish in the Storm Territory are very cheap and the people in the Black Rock Territory like them very much, I am going to buy some more and take them back this time." Laurie Grocery replied respectfully.
"Well, welcome! By the way, have you brought goods to sell this time?" The next moment, Thomas saw many serfs in Laurie's team carrying full goods.
"Yes, Sir Thomas, last time I heard that the villagers in Maiye Village wanted to buy goods, so I brought some specially!"
"Very good, then you can just put it up in the square! I'll ask the mayor of Maiye Village to help you publicize it!" Thomas did not neglect, he must let these caravans taste the sweetness, so that they will take the initiative to lead them when they come in the future.
Upload the product.
"Yes, Sir Thomas, but this time we want to buy one thousand bags of salt and two hundred kilograms of dried fish..."
"Don't worry about this. You put out the goods first, and we will discuss the purchase of salt and dried fish later. Laurie Grocer, don't worry, there is definitely enough salt and dried fish in Storm Territory!" Thomas immediately understood what he was thinking.
mean.
"Thank you, Lord Thomas!" Laurie immediately felt at ease, and then arranged for the serfs to put the goods away.
The goods brought this time were all daily necessities mentioned by the villagers, such as burlap, straw sandals, earthen jars, etc.
Thomas also asked for Peter Leather Boots. Following his instructions, Peter Leather Boots immediately began to inform everyone in Maiye Village.
Afterwards, the villagers who had not made purchases for a long time couldn’t wait to come to the square.
"Boss, how many pairs of straw sandals do you have?"
"A pair costs twenty cents for an adult, and a pair costs ten cents for a child. It is guaranteed to be sturdy and durable!"
"Bring me two pairs for adults and one pair for children. This is fifty cents!"
"Boss, how do you sell this linen?"
"Twenty cents per meter"
"Give me two meters..."
As the villagers arrived one after another, the square became lively in an instant. Initially, Laurie was still a little unsure, worried about whether the goods he brought could be sold out.
But after the first villager came forward to inquire about purchasing, the caravan couldn't stop at all.
The villagers' desire to buy was very strong, and their purchasing power exceeded Laurie's expectations.
For example, the first serf who came to buy goods was obviously barefoot and dressed in rags, but he bought three pairs of straw sandals as soon as he opened his mouth.
Laurie looked at the thick calluses on the man's feet. He could have sworn that this man had never worn shoes before.
Now I am willing to buy three pairs of straw sandals directly. This is definitely a move that can only be made after having a lot of savings.
"Daru, you watch over here, I'm going to buy salt from Butler Thomas!"
The sales of the goods made Laurie feel good. Seeing that the other two caravans had completed their purchases, he walked over without further delay.
"Laurie Grocery Store, how are you doing? Are the goods selling well?" Seeing Laurie coming over, Thomas asked with a smile.
"Sir Thomas, that's very good. Most of the goods I brought this time were sold in just half an hour! Thank you, Lord Thomas, for taking care of me!" Laurie expressed his heartfelt thanks. In just half an hour, more than half of the goods were sold.
He made more than twenty silver coins. This was really a big deal.
"No need to thank me. You brought the goods and it was convenient for the villagers!" Thomas nodded with satisfaction. He knew that after Laurie tasted the benefits, he would feel reluctant to come empty-handed next time.
"By the way, you just said you wanted to buy a thousand bags of salt and three hundred pounds of dried fish?"
"Yes, Lord Thomas, there are also five hundred brown sugar and black bread!"
"Why don't you buy more? Black Rock Territory is a barony with a population of at least tens of thousands. I'm afraid it won't take long to sell one kilogram!"
"Sir Thomas, it's the same problem as last time. Although I brought twenty more serfs to carry it this time, I can only carry so much stuff!"
Laurie would like to buy more at once, such as table salt and dried salted fish. These two items will not go bad even if they are stored for a year and a half.
This saves him from having to come to Stormland all day long. After all, hiring serfs to come here is a big expense.
The number of people who can be relied upon to carry goods is really very limited.
"Laurie Grocery Store, I reported this problem to Lord Nalant last time. We in the Storm Territory have invented a very practical vehicle that is guaranteed to allow you to transport more goods." Thomas smiled slightly,
It was Laurie's answer that he was waiting for.
"A car?" Laurie was stunned, "But, Sir Thomas, I don't have a horse!"
"Laurie, of course I know you don't have horses. This car from our Storm Leader doesn't need horses. It's specially prepared for civilians!"
"A carriage that doesn't need horses?" Laurie became even more confused.
"Chief Pete, ask the carpenter to push the wheelbarrow over!" Thomas shouted directly to Pete Boots without further explanation.
Peter had been waiting for this moment for a long time and immediately walked to the back of the alley.
Soon, a carpenter pushed a wheelbarrow toward the square, and the cart was already loaded with four baskets of goods.
"This..." Laurie was stunned. This was the first time he saw such a weird car.
It’s just that we don’t know yet what kind of goods are in that basket. If it’s heavy items such as wheat or salt, then it weighs at least more than two hundred kilograms.
The carpenter pushed the trolley to Thomas and Laurie and parked the trolley steadily.
"It turned out to be table salt!" At this moment, Laurie finally saw the goods in the basket, and at the same time, he became even more surprised.
If someone carries a weight of 200 kilograms directly on his back, he will be crushed to the ground immediately, let alone move around.
But just now the man was pushing the cart forward very easily.
