Chapter 65： Purchasing【Seek collection】

  Chapter 65 Purchasing【For collection】

   Early the next morning, Sunan hired a carriage to take the six of them to Yancheng.

On the way, Sunan, who was sitting together in the carriage, handed Qu Mao a purchase list and the corresponding product price range. After all, it had been a long time since he left Yancheng, and Yancheng had just experienced war, so the prices might not be stable yet. The price of all items on the list is almost a range.

  Looking at the prices marked with copper coins or silver coins on the purchase list, Qu Mao couldn't help being a little surprised. It turns out that in addition to gold coins, copper coins and silver coins still have such a huge use space, and the prices on the purchase list are generally not expensive.

   For example, the price of an ordinary kitchen knife is only between 5 copper coins and 10 copper coins.

  With this price list, Qu Mao felt more reliable.

  At the same time, Sunan also told Qu Mao that he only needs to pay 50 copper coins for a 5-kilometer journey in this carriage, and a tip of 10 copper coins. The coachman will be grateful to Dade.

   Suddenly, Sunan approached Qu Mao and said, "My lord, don't use the backpack function directly in front of anyone."

  Qu Mao thought for a while, nodded and said, "You don't let me use the backpack directly, because you are worried that my identity as the chosen one will be exposed?"

  Su Nan said: "My lord, yes, if you can use a backpack, you are either a chosen one or a hero. These two types of people will be noticed by caring people when they walk on the road.

  Before the adults do not have enough strength to protect themselves, the subordinates suggest not to use backpacks as much as possible. Whether we are regarded as God's Chosen or heroes by caring people, we will cause trouble. "

Qu Mao nodded. All his attributes were sealed to the lowest value by the Birdman, and he didn't have any skills. Naturally, he couldn't be someone else's opponent. Even if there was A Ke, he could only be summoned once every three hours, and only appeared for 0.5 seconds at a time. bell.

   Now that he is far away from his own territory, it is always right to keep a low profile.

  Su Nan reminded Qu Mao to be more generous, so as to be in line with the merchant characteristics of the Mughal Empire.

Before getting out of the car, Qu Mao thought of Sunan's reminder, and said, "Qu Sheng, you have to prepare a money bag and enough copper and silver coins for me, otherwise when you pay, you will get gold coins directly, and you will still be exposed." .

  How could gold coins be conjured out of thin air? As soon as people think about it, they know that I have a backpack. "

  Su Nan patted his head and said: "Oh, my lord, I forgot to tell you last night that every inn in Yancheng Port has a gold coin exchange business, but there is a 1% handling fee.

  The subordinates only exchanged 10 gold coins for silver coins and 1 gold coin for copper coins last night. The subordinate will give you a silver coin bag, a copper coin bag and a gold coin bag. You can put 500 silver coins in the silver coin bag, 3000 copper coins in the copper coin bag, and you can put no more than 10 gold coins in the gold coin bag.

  Adults try to trade with silver coins as much as possible. The silver coins look grand and luxurious when taken out, and ordinary merchants can give change. "

  The carriage stopped outside the south gate of Yancheng, and Qu Mao and others got off the carriage.

  Yancheng is a coastal commercial city covering an area of ​​about 25 square kilometers, with a resident population of about 300,000, mainly for opening shops, and there are still many bustling people on the streets.

After entering Yancheng, Sunan led two first-rank sailors, bowed to Qu Mao, and then turned directly into a small alley. Qu Mao took two first-rank sailors and took the painting that Sunan had drawn for him. Map, go forward along the main road.

After walking a few steps, Qu Mao turned into a stationery store, purchased 10 stacks of blank paper, 10 quill pens, 10 brushes, 10 bottles of ink, and 5 ingots of ink, and squatted with Su Yan in the yard outside the lord's hut, enduring Qu Mao didn't want to experience the days when the sun was scorching and writing the shopping list on the ground.

  There are so many stationery, and the total cost is less than 5 silver coins. Qu Mao asked the sailors to carry the purchased items.

Continue to stroll into a seed store. Edible crops such as rice, wheat, sorghum, and many plant seeds that Qu Mao can’t name, bought 10 bags each, a total of 12 kinds, all of which cost about 2 silver coins. arrive.

  However, the two sailors who accompanied Qu Mao were already carrying their hands on their shoulders, and they couldn't carry them anymore.

  When Qu Mao was worrying, a blond young man with a wheelbarrow came up and asked, "Sir, do you want to use a car? Follow the service all day, and it only costs 50 coppers."

   Qu Mao glanced at the blond young man, then at his wheelbarrow, shook his head and said, "No, your car is too small to fit in it."

  Not only was the young man not depressed, but he said excitedly: "My lord, I still have a big car, but the price will increase to 80 copper coins a day."

   Qu Mao smiled and said, "If you serve well enough, I'll give you 1 silver coin! How about it? Pull out your cart and let me have a look."

  The blond young man led Qu Mao to an alley a few meters away, and then pulled out a three-meter-long two-wheeled scooter, about one meter wide, and at the same time put wooden planks around it as a shelter.

Qu Mao felt that the car should be similar, so he immediately counted out 20 copper coins and handed them to the blond young man, saying, "Okay, I will hire your car. This is a deposit. After I finish shopping, you will send the goods on the car to After the south gate, I will give you the balance."

  The blond young man took the copper coin, put it in his pocket, and immediately enthusiastically removed all the things from the two sailors, and neatly placed them on the cart.

Qu Mao continued to walk to the destination according to the situation, ordered 3,000 sets of various types of furniture at the furniture store, and spent only 11 gold coins in total, took out 1 gold coin as a deposit, and asked the merchant to deliver it in the evening of the next day Arrive at Pier No. 3, otherwise it will be regarded as a breach of contract by the merchant, and the merchant immediately wrote a deposit receipt to Qu Mao with a smile on his face.

When purchasing production equipment, the supply of one store was insufficient, and Qu Mao was too lazy to go to the second store by himself. After repeatedly confirming that the total supply in Yancheng was sufficient, Qu Mao entrusted the first store to purchase on his behalf. For 3 gold coins, Qu Mao only paid 30 silver coins as a deposit.

  After these ordinary iron production tools are transported back to Yi Island, Qu Mao believes that the production efficiency of the entire Yi Village territory will increase dozens of times, and the speed of Yi Village's construction will also increase rapidly like crazy.

  The purchase of daily necessities is cheaper and the supply is sufficient. There are kitchen knives, pots, bowls, ladles, and basins. They also entrust a merchant to purchase on their behalf.

In order to conceal the purpose of his landing, Qu Mao also went to the official sea salt sales point in Yancheng, purchased 10 tons of sea salt, paid a deposit of 1 gold coin, and purchased 10 tons of sea salt at one time. It's just a very inconspicuous small customer, but this is also in line with Qu Mao's scale of only five seagoing ships.

The landing item also included the purchase of slaves, so although Qu Mao was not used to it, he purchased two young and beautiful maids from the slave market for show. Freedom from cooking.

  A maid costs 5 gold coins, which is not particularly expensive.

   When Qu Mao was eating at noon, he even called the blond young man to join him, which flattered the blond young man.

In the morning, all the materials in the procurement list given by Su Yan have been fully purchased, but in the afternoon Qu Mao still went to the workshop area to install a series of functional buildings that have been built in the territory of Yi Village, such as the blacksmith shop, carpentry workshop, and tailor shop. I bought all the tools I need to use here.

   In a glass shop, I bought 1,800 blank glass bottles with a capacity of 10 ml, and only spent 9 copper coins in total.

  Qu Mao’s over-purchase forced the blond young man pulling the scooter to call five good friends to pull their carts to help.

   Qu Mao generously promised to pay 30 copper coins to each of the carts who came to help, after all, it only takes them less than half a day to serve.

  In the evening, Qu Mao did not wait for Sunan outside the south gate, so he hired three carriages to transport all the purchased materials back to the inn according to the agreement with Sunan, and then waited for Sunan to return.
