The next morning, Boom and Rikka got up early and walked out of the courtyard after eating something casually. Today was the monthly open-air market trading day. Although Boom didn't want to go, he couldn't compete with Rikka after all.
request.
The so-called open-air market is a large-scale trade fair held regularly in the ancient city at the beginning of each month. Regardless of the major principalities or any foreign race, anyone who wants to come can participate.
Of course, whether the goods you bring can be exchanged for gold coins depends on the needs of the buyer. Every year there is a situation where no one cares about your own goods, but the supply of other people's goods exceeds the supply.
"Brother, you said that with so many people gathering together to do business, aren't you afraid of fights?" Rikka held Boom's arm and asked quietly.
"The consequences of fighting are serious, especially in the open-air market these two days." Boom replied with a raised chin. Only then did Rikka realize that countless Imperial Guards had appeared on the street at some point.
The sun slowly rose, and the gun salute began. The market area was already overcrowded, and the vendors' cries were noisy and chaotic.
Boom, who had been practicing at home, became very excited when he saw this. Rikka beside him had already stretched his neck and almost climbed up the tree to look around.
Surrounding the outermost area is the food area, where you can see piles of fragrant buns, handmade cheeses the size of grindstones, and golden color.
However, the most attractive thing is the special delicacies from other principalities and even foreign races. Regardless of the taste, the appearance alone is enough to attract attention.
"Don't miss it when you pass by. Buy three bags of high-quality milk tablets and get one free. They are produced in the Golden Plains."
"If you need dried lizard meat, come here. It's an authentic troll delicacy. If you miss it, wait a year."
"If you want to stay young forever, take a look. This is the spiritual fruit of the elves from the Shimmering Forest."
......
The two moved slowly along with the flow of people. Although Boom looked at it curiously, he never had any desire to spend. But Rikka was different. As long as he passed by the stall, he would definitely be picked off by someone. p>
Boom wanted to speak out to dissuade him, but when he saw Rikka's excited expression, he chose to keep his mouth shut. Because in his mind, Rikka was already working very hard every day, and it was rare to relax for a day, so it was better to let it go.
After getting Boom's nod, Rikka jumped up and down with joy. She even waved her hand and said loudly, "Everyone wants it all."
However, the two of them only had two hands after all. At this moment, Boom and Rikka stood in a corner with few people, collecting things into the dimensional space like thieves.
"Okay, let's go shopping in a while. Don't buy any more things." Boom was a little speechless, because after just over an hour, the other party had already bought more than half a month's worth of food.
But after hearing this, Rikka was about to make a few more quibbles, but was attracted by the sound of a quarrel not far away. Seeing this, the two pulled up their hoods in tacit agreement and walked towards the source of the sound.
This is a seafood merchant from the Principality of Cambay, and what people are talking about are the crabs piled on the ground.
Crabs have existed in this world for thousands of years, and there have even been crab-like contract beasts. But they have never been eaten, just like everyone would not chew a stone.
Therefore, the behavior of this businessman was naturally regarded as fraud. Everyone has seen crabs, but no one sells them, and no one is stupid enough to pay for them.
"What nonsense are you talking to him about? Hurry up and call the city guards! Damn the Cambay people, do you think we are idiots?" A man who smelled of alcohol cursed and yelled.
"That's right, selling crabs? Why don't you sell shit!" Another woman nodded in agreement.
The already crowded streets around it became even more congested at this time. It was like a blood clot in an old man's body, blocking the flow of people here.
Boom and Rikka finally figured out the cause and effect at this moment. Boom shook his head and looked in disbelief, while Rikka blinked and bent down curiously.
"Uncle, how do you sell these crabs? If they are cheap, I would like to buy some." Rikka's words seemed to be accompanied by a silent spell, instantly calming the crowd of onlookers.
"Little girl, you have such good eyesight! These are not rubbish in the mud by the river, but the best products that we worked hard to salvage from the center of the sea of rocks." When the businessman from Cambay saw someone asking about the price, he was originally dejected and suddenly turned into a dejected person.
Be in high spirits.
"In addition, the meat of this thing is extremely delicious. Whether it is boiled in soup or steamed, it will definitely become the new king on the royal banquet table. The origin of the name of this snow crab is because of its snow-white body." The Campbell merchant is proud.
explained.
Silence! No one in the crowd, including Boom and Rikka, said anything. They were not fools, and they gradually believed what the merchant said. Because it was very simple, it would take at least five days to get to Augu City from the Principality of Cambay.
No liar would act like this.
"Little girl, you are the first customer I plan to buy after I come here. I will give you five crabs and one gold coin." The Cambay merchant thought for a while and then said with some pain.
So, under the strange looks of the onlookers, Rikka left with a dozen snow crabs on her shoulders. But Boom quietly came to the businessman's side and said an understatement. But it was because of this sentence that he became a famous person in the future.
He married a great aristocrat who was extremely wealthy.
"If you want others to recognize these crabs, then why not make some food on the spot? Just like tasting them in a store." The businessman's eyes lit up when he heard this, but when he wanted to look up to find the speaker, he couldn't find the other person.
Figure.
Throughout the morning, Boom and Rikka lingered in the food area. Although Boom felt a little sad about the decrease in gold coins, he still smiled and even gave Rikka a lot of personal advice. In his opinion, because Rikka had a belly
There is a dimensional space in the world, so it is acceptable to buy more things.
Lunch time at the open-air market is even more special. Countless vendors who were bosses a second ago have now transformed into chef hats.
But if there is any stall that is the biggest draw of this gathering, it is the Cambay merchant selling snow crabs.
I saw him sweating like rain as he put the snow crabs on the iron net, while the crowd who were watching the joke were holding plates and urging him to hurry up and hurry up.
The aroma of grilled crabs gradually filled the air, and even the city guards from afar came there for an excuse. Rikka had indeed made a lot of money, because the current price was half a crab and three gold coins.
But even so, most people still haven't tasted this delicious food. Therefore, all the crabs of the Cambay merchant were bought by the palace, and even he himself had to meet King Ogu in the afternoon.
At this time, in the palace, Fernando was sitting on the ground without any image, sucking on a crab leg. On the other hand, Anthony, the blessed knight, had already started chewing the crab shell. As for the Great Magister Yuri, although he was far away
He is much more elegant than the two of them, but he also eats without any image.
