After an hour of sailing, Qiaoluo and Sam finally stood on the pier, watching the endless flow of people coming and going. Even before they reached the center of the market, they could feel the excitement of the market just here.
Qiao Luo looked at the crowd and said to Sam: Grandpa Sam, where should we go next!
Sam said: First go to the center of the market to sell the specialties we brought, and then go to the trading house to sell the white tiger skins. But the most important thing right now is to go to the car dealer first and hire a truck to bring us there.
The coconuts should be hauled to the market, otherwise we would have to carry them to the market at night, and by then the gathering would have dispersed.
Then he said to Qiaoluo: "Don't run around here. Take a good look at the goods. I'll go to the car dealership over there to rent a temporary truck. Remember, don't run around. There are so many people here. Let's go."
It’s hard to find if it’s gone!
Qiaoluo: Don't worry! Grandpa Sam, I'm just going to stay here and won't go anywhere. I will take a good look at these coconuts.
Hearing these words, Sam hummed, and walked quickly to the car, leaving Qiaoluo watching alone on the pier. While Sam was leaving, Qiaoluo quickly took a look at the surrounding environment. To be honest,
The dock environment here left a very good impression on Qiao Luo!
Compared with the ancient movie terminal, there is no dirty feeling at all. When we walk into the port gate, a wide and straight avenue leads to the seaside. Vehicles coming and going pass us from time to time. Going forward, there are piles of people on both sides of the road.
There are countless goods, arranged neatly like hills.
In front of the pier, there is a vast ocean, the sea breeze is blowing gently, and a few beautiful seagulls are flying against the blue water. It is so beautiful! On the pier, there are the shouts of people coming and going, the whistles of cargo being hoisted, and the sounds of the ships.
The ringing of the bells, intertwined with the roar of the human voice, is like a majestic and wonderful symphony!
Looking not far ahead, there was another pier, but the level of that pier was instantly improved many times compared to Qiaoluo's pier, and there were very few ships coming and going. At first glance, the ships there were just
The appearance is much more noble than the ships on Qiaoluo's side. Looking from a distance, one looks like a rural child wearing hackneyed clothes, while the other looks like an aristocratic young man wearing gold, silver, and studded with precious stones.
generally.
"It seems that there should be a privileged channel opened by the Chamber of Commerce." Qiao Luo thought to himself!
"Sure enough, you have privileges no matter where you are"!
Not long after observing like this, Sam came over pushing a rented truck. It was more like an ancient horse-drawn truck than a truck. Here Qiao Luo made another complaint! Sure enough, you can't play word games.
What a terrible loss,
When Sam came over, Qiaoluo and Sam loaded the car with all the specialties they had brought. Then, they pushed the car together and slowly rushed towards the center of the market...!
When I arrived at the market center and looked at the flow of people, I found the stall left by Taoyuan Island on this island, and then the sound of hawking started...!
"Coconut, fragrant and sweet coconut, Taoyuan Island's specialty coconut", this is the only one, there is no other semicolon. If you miss it today, you will have to wait another month!
Listening to the hawking sound, people from all over the place looked at this, and those who were greedy would come over and buy two to quench their thirst! After all, as Sam said, the coconuts in Taoyuan Island do have a unique taste, mellow and sweet, but the output is rare.
, in addition to handing over a portion to the Chamber of Commerce every year as tax and protection, the rest is simply not enough to sell in the markets all over the island, which makes it very expensive! One coconut costs 1,000 beli.
..
But there will definitely be no shortage of rich people and greedy foodies in the world!
He didn't know how to sell one-tenth of the coconuts in the car. Looking at the speed of the business, Qiaoluo estimated that it would take until the afternoon to sell out all these coconuts, so he leisurely shouted to help!
In the afternoon, Qiaoluo drank coconuts and followed Sam to the car dealership with half a million beli (actually not much) in his arms to return the car, pay the rental fee of 10,000, and then get the deposit back.
Then he and Sam went to the Chamber of Commerce's trading house to prepare to sell the tiger skins in their hands...
After arriving at the address of the Chamber of Commerce, I followed Sam into the hall of the Chamber of Commerce. What greeted me was all kinds of rare treasures, gold, silver and jewelry. I was overwhelmed and felt a little guilty...
Said to Sam
:Grandpa Sam, there are so many treasures here, will the people in the Chamber of Commerce look down on our tiger skins?
Sam responded to Qiaoluo: Don't worry, although there are many rare treasures here, our tiger skins are not worth them at all. Do you know why?
Qiao Luo shook his head...!
Then he heard Sam say: Do you know who usually buys these things? Qiao Luo thought for a while and said, it should be some rich people!
Sam: That’s right. Although ordinary rich people will buy some rare treasures, they are only a minority. The competition among the upper-class nobles is more intense. When it comes to their status, money! More
At that time, it was just a bunch of numbers, and rare treasures. Do you think people like them would lack these in their homes?
Qiaoluo shook his head again...! Sam continued: At this time, the scarcity of something determines its value!
Qiao Luo replied: But the tiger skin of the beast should not be that expensive!
Sam: Yes. Of course, ordinary tiger skins are not that expensive. They are valuable at most. But the tiger you picked up is different. It is a pure white tiger skin! There are only a few in the whole new world. You can imagine.
But you know its scarcity, so I tell you that we are not vain at all.
After saying that, Qiao Luo and Qiao Luo came to the counter in the hall. They were met by a beautiful girl, wearing a slit cheongsam. Her milky silky thighs made Qiao Luo's eyes widen.
The girl at the counter hurriedly came to greet her and said: Are the two distinguished guests here to shop or sell goods?
Sam said to the little girl: We are here to sell something! I hope the boss here can give us an estimate of the price of this thing, and he spread out the tiger skin on his back!
The little girl was stunned when she saw the tiger skin. Although she had seen a lot of good things, including animal skins, this was the first time she saw such beautiful and fine fur. She immediately said: This is
I don't have the authority to appraise this item, so I'm going to ask our steward to appraise the price! After saying that, I turned around and asked a middle-aged man to appraise this white tiger skin...
