Chapter 3: Goods from Earth
Liu Feng carelessly put the two things to the side, and said calmly, "Then let's check the goods and settle the price."
"Okay!" Carter nodded and immediately called a middle-aged man, his butler, who was a shrewd man.
"Butler, help us estimate the cost."
"Yes!" The butler replied respectfully.
Liu Feng put a box on the table, opened it, and took out five glasses from the inside. The glasses were the kind that cost about a few bucks each in the supermarket.
"Hiss..." Carter, Fez, and the butler all sucked in a mouthful of cold air, their eyes staring at the glasses in Liu Feng's hands. They hurriedly went forward with two hands in front of them, carefully taking the glass cups.Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com
"This is crystal glass! I had been fortunate enough to see one at a Duke's Mansion, but it wasn't as pure and gorgeous as these ones." Carter exclaimed, his eyes full of greed.
Fez's breathing sped up as he held the glasses tightly with his hands. The only thing he wanted to do at this moment was to claim them as his own.
"How many gold coins do you three think these crystal glasses are worth?" Liu Feng directly made the price of the glasses on the level of gold coins.
The currency of this world was divided into three levels: copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.
1 gold coin was equal to 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin was equal to 1000 copper coins.
According to Liu Feng's investigation, 1 copper coin had the same purchasing power as 1 dollar on Earth.
Carter took a deep breath and carefully placed the glass cup on the table, and said with a smile, "My friend, I will give five gold coins for one crystal glass."
The value of the item was too high for a butler to estimate.
He had just put the mirror and a few items back in his storage space. He was afraid to let the other party know about the existence of mirrors and baijiu since just one glass cup was worth so much money.
In the past, he sold salt, polished rice, ceramic products, wooden combs, and other similar stuff. This was the first time he brought out things like glass.
There was only a small amount of naturally made glass in this era. Fortunately, he had discovered this loophole in time.
Carter had bought several ceramic plates from Liu Feng before. He had even complimented that these ceramic plates were better than some that were used by high noble families.
"What a pity," Carter said, sighing. As for whether he was disappointed about there not more valuable items or disappointed about some other things, only he would know."My friend, sell all of these ceramic plates to me!"
"Sure. There's a total of 12 plates, 1 silver coin for 1 plate, a total of 12 silver coins." Liu Feng said, rapidly calculating the cost.
Carter nodded, and the butler quickly walked forward, handed 12 silver coins to Liu Feng, and carefully took the ceramic plates.
"Then Baron Liu Feng, please come with me. I'll introduce you to the residents," Carter stood up and said.
"Okay!" Liu Feng got up and followed him.
"Dong dong dong..."
Before they got outside, they heard a bell ringing a few times. Carter explained that it was a signal to gather the residents.
I'm guessing that it means that the butler can only estimate the value of items that costs less than a certain amount of money.
. Literally, two cleared. It means that no one owes each other anymore.
. Literally, white wine, but for some reason it's called baijiu and not white wine in English.
Probably refers to being able to find the loophole before Carter sold him the city.
