Claude didn't know at this moment that the reason why he was being pestered was because of his clothes, a gray-blue fine linen shirt, a pair of black coarse cloth trousers, a pair of black leather shoes, and a black animal leather shoulder bag.
Bao. When dressed like this, he looks like a commoner from out of town, and he is still very young. The beard on his lips is still very fine. He is clearly a rookie who has never seen the world. For some people, this is the best
target.
Children of aristocrats whose fathers are nobles and have been born as citizens, mostly wear silk shirts and silk pants to keep cool in such increasingly hot weather. No one would dress seriously like Claude when going on a long trip.
So the thin man who was following him took a fancy to Claude at a glance and wanted to make some money to spend, but he found the wrong person. Claude didn't accept his trick, but told him to get out with a stern voice.
Mario Street can be regarded as the most famous commercial street in Whitewood City. Basically, mining companies and large commercial banks in Limassol County have set up shops and branches on this street. Even the National Bank has opened here.
A business hall should be to facilitate deposits and withdrawals of money for commercial trade here.
Before going out, Uncle Osk mentioned that the Dangro Mining Company here is the biggest land player. Basically, nearly half of Baimu City’s white root powder mineral resources are in their hands, so the quality of the white root powder in their store is the best.
, and the most variety.
Next to the National Bank is the store opened by Dangro Mining Company. Claude opened the door and went in. This was the first time he heard that white root powder has quality and variety. In Bailu Town, he had no choice, just care about it.
The price has fluctuated. A box of white root powder sold for three gold crowns and three silver thalers in the medicine shop in the open-air market made him very happy. At least it was half cheaper than the price offered by Julian's fat old man.
However, after looking at the white root powder that Dangro Mining Company put on the display stand as a sample, Claude wanted to curse them all. Because the white root powder sold by the owner of the medicine shop in the Bailu Town open-air market was of the worst quality.
It can be said that there are many impurities. The price quoted by Dangro Mining Company is only one gold crown and three silver thalers per box. But the fat old man Julian sells a qualified product with high quality standards. The price here is two gold crowns and four silver thalers.
Taller, that fat old man offered Claude seven gold crowns...
After asking a clerk, Claude realized that the quality of the white root powder was related to the success rate of the potion test. The higher the quality of the white root powder used as an intermediary item in the test, it would not only increase the success rate of the potion test, but also increase the success rate of the potion test.
The quality of the potion refining. No wonder the two boxes of white root powder that Claude later bought in the open-air market often failed inexplicably when doing magic experiments in the alchemy magic talisman array. Claude always thought that it was because his operating techniques were too high.
I am unfamiliar with alchemical magic experiments...
After mentally cursing the owner of the medicine shop in the open-air market, Claude focused his attention on a silver box between the display stands. It also contained white root powder, but the price was the highest, seven gold crowns per box.
The clerk next to him said that this is the highest quality white root powder produced by their company. The box is marked with three symbols that look like A. Let’s call it triple A grade. It is made from a special kind of tree fossil.
, and this kind of tree fossil is very rare and precious.
It is said that this triple-A white root powder can effectively improve the quality of the medicine when refining it. However, because the price is too expensive, ordinary pharmacists rarely buy it. Basically, only a few famous pharmacists in the kingdom want to refine it.
Only those medicines with the best quality will be asked to buy a box or two.
If the clerk hadn't mentioned those famous pharmacists, maybe Claude was just looking at them, but when he said this, Claude thought of Madam Maria. Last time Madam Maria gave Claude
A letter came, saying that she would go to Bailu City in September and stay at the forest farm for about ten to twenty days, which would be considered a summer vacation.
If Claude had not received the conscription order, he would have waited for the arrival of Madam Maria at the forest farm, because Madam Maria said she would get him a pardon issued by Stirling X, exempting Claude from military service.
.It’s a pity that Chief Felidos stepped in and wrote a letter of recommendation for Claude in advance, so that the Blue Feather Legion sent Claude a recruitment order for non-commissioned officer training.
No matter whether Madam Maria gave Claude a cabin and three hundred acres of forest to compensate for the price of the four forbidden arts, or she went to Stirling X to ask for a pardon in order to completely tie Claude to Norman.
Claude must accept these favors from the big family tree and asking Butler Lutheran to replace Little Booker to repay the huge debt of five hundred gold crowns.
Even though Claude and Butler Lutheran planned to form a real estate development company, which allowed Madam Maria to earn a large amount of wealth that she had never dreamed of, it was not something that Claude could accomplish alone and required the cooperation of all parties.
No matter how talented a person is, it will be difficult for him to get along without being understanding of others. This is one of the experiences of Claude in his previous life.
Now Claude is thinking about whether to give Mrs. Maria a gift, such as this triple-A grade highest quality white root powder. Since he has arrived in Baimu City, he can just buy some for her. I believe Mrs. Maria will be very happy to receive it.
This gift.
"Bring me ten boxes of this triple-A grade white root powder." Claude said, and then he saw the clerk's eyes widening in disbelief. It seemed that he didn't expect Claude's move to be so big.
I wonder if Claude is joking. Can he really spend so much money to buy the most expensive and highest quality white root powder?
Claude took out his account book: "I think the National Bank next door should be able to withdraw money, right?"
"Of course, sir, the bank has always had business dealings with our company. Our customers didn't have to queue in the past and could just pick up whatever they wanted." An old man with a goatee appeared in front of Claude and explained with a smile.
arrive.
"Manager..." The clerk quickly lowered his head.
"Evago, take this gentleman to the bank." The old man with the goatee said in a deep voice. It was obvious that the behavior of the clerk named Evago made him very dissatisfied.
Claude successfully withdrew money from the National Bank next door, and then returned to the store again. Only this time he enjoyed VIP treatment. As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted and seated attentively, and then Claude asked
Tea or wine.
Claude ordered a cup of black tea, and a young female clerk brought a basin of warm water for Claude to wipe his face. The weather was too hot and it was easy to sweat. Finally, two clerks stood behind Claude with fans.
He fanned himself to cool off...
The triple-A white root powder is packed in silver-plated copper boxes, and the portions are the same. Each box is one pound of white root powder. The goatee manager personally brought each box to Claude for inspection.
Seal the lid and edges with white wax, and then put a seal on it.
Finally, the goatee manager asked Claude if he would take it away himself or have someone deliver it to him.
Can it still be delivered? Claude was overjoyed. Originally, he wanted to take it away and throw it on the carriage. When Uncle Ousk returned, he asked him to deliver the ten boxes of white root powder to the forest farm and give it to his sister Anna, and then wrote a letter to her sister.
Let her wait until Mrs. Maria goes to the forest farm for summer vacation before giving it to her as a gift. It will be just right for Mrs. Maria to use when doing experiments in the forest farm's pharmaceutical laboratory.
But these ten boxes of white root powder are worth seventy gold crowns, and when Claude and Uncle Osker were chatting on the road, he heard him say that he planned to send Claude to the barracks and then go somewhere else.
Go meet some old comrades and see if there is any business there. In this way, Claude feels that it is not appropriate to ask Uncle Osk to take this white root powder back. After all, he is not going back to White Deer City directly...
It was just that after Claude reported that he would deliver these ten boxes of white root powder to the Normanli Forest Farm in the southwest suburbs of Bailu City, the goatee manager hesitantly told Claude that the journey was too far and that he would need to pay more. It was estimated to be one gold crown.
about.
A gold crown is a gold crown. Claude is very wealthy now. Even if he spent 70 gold crowns to buy ten boxes of triple-A grade white root powder, he still has more than 1,600 gold crowns in his National Bank account.
, there are also about ten gold crowns in the purse beside him.
He took out a gold crown and handed it to the goatee manager. Claude asked for paper and pen, wrote a text message to his sister Anna, and asked the Dangro Mining Company deliveryman to bring it to his sister, and then took the company's business card and
He will write the delivery agreement after he has settled in the military camp. At that time, the deliveryman will send the receipt of receipt written by his sister Anna to Claude.
After finishing his work, Claude went out. It was late. He went back to the tavern to have dinner and have a good night's rest. He would continue his journey early tomorrow morning. But what he didn't see was that as soon as he went out, the goat
The bearded manager called the clerk named Ivago over and whispered, and Ivago hurried out.
He had just left Mario Street and was walking back when a carriage passed in front of him. Claude stopped for a moment, preparing to wait for the carriage to pass before crossing the street. Unexpectedly, two people suddenly stuck behind him, and his waist was also
The two sharp guys were pushing against each other. The thin man with the sinister eyebrows who had been pestering him just now appeared in front of him, but now there were two big men beside him, smiling wildly at Claude.
"Boy, weren't you very arrogant just now? You dared to tell me to go away. Now you are in my hands. Why don't you just kneel down and beg for mercy..."
The two sharp tools on Claude's waist pushed forward hard, and his shirt had been pierced. A voice behind him said: "Second brother, you mean you did it here? There are people coming and going here.
There must have been too many people passing by..."
The thin man was stunned: "When did I let you do him? I just asked him to kneel down and beg me for mercy. But you are right, this is a street corner, there are too many people, and it is easy to alert the patrolman. Take him there
Go into the alley next to him, I want to skin him properly."
Claude looked expressionless and was pushed into a dead-end street by the two guys behind him. The thin man came to Claude proudly with a small cardboard box: "Boy, didn't you say you would buy it?"
Can't you afford the white root powder? Didn't you buy several boxes at that Dangro Mining Company? You said you had no money, but I saw you take out a gold crown from your wallet. You are so bold.
, how dare you lie to me and not buy my white root powder, are you looking down on me?"
"I brought the white root powder for others. Of course I can't afford it myself, and they specified that they want to buy it from Dangro Mining Company..." Claude said.
"I don't care about that. If you don't buy my white root powder, you are looking down on me. The consequences will be serious and I am very angry. Although I really want to beat you up, strip you naked and throw you into the mine, but I am a businessman.
, Harmony makes money, so I will give you a chance to apologize to me. As long as you use all the money around you to buy this box of top-quality white root powder in my hand and sign this sales agreement, I can forgive you for once...
"
The thin man took out another piece of paper from his pocket. His intention was very clear. If Claude took away the money, it would be robbery and a crime. If caught, he would be sentenced to hard labor. But signing an agreement in the name of buying and selling,
Even if the victim goes to the police, it will be useless. At most, it will be considered buyer's remorse. Ordinary civilians can only consider themselves unlucky when encountering such a thing.
If the thin man knew that Claude bought ten boxes of triple-A grade white root powder for seventy gold crowns in the store of Dangro Mining Company, he would definitely think carefully about whether he could afford to offend such a person.
It's a pity that after seeing Claude follow the clerk to the nearby National Bank, the thin man hurriedly went to find his friends to help deal with Claude. When he came back, he only saw Claude handing the manager a coin outside the store.
Jin Kelang also wrote a piece of paper.
So the thin man took it for granted that Claude was just here to place an order. Such a person's background was nothing more than a purchasing agent for a certain firm, and he was a good candidate to make a fortune...
