Chapter 94
Mr. Longfellow was holding a piece of chalk to write and draw on a huge wooden sign. It was nothing more than advertising slogans such as "Our store has new enchanted furs", "Questions are limited, so hurry up"...Seeing Joan carrying It was a little unbelievable to come in with a big bag, until Joan verified the magical effects of the five furs one by one in front of him, and he didn't believe how fast this young mage was working.
Qiao An demonstrated the enchanted fur in person and received unexpected advertising effects, attracting a large crowd of curious passers-by to watch. Seeing that Qiao An uttered a short word, the fur fur glowed, and the stains were instantly cleaned and it became clean as new. cheers. Immediately, two well-to-do ladies—both regular customers of the leather goods store—went to Longfellow to inquire about the price, intending to purchase enchanted furs.
Mr. Longfellow threw away the unfinished billboard and boasted about the enchanted fur furiously. Joan was ashamed when he heard it. However, it turned out that he was still too immature and wanted to make a deal. Mr. Longfellow's eloquence and cheeky self-promotion were necessary skills. In the end, both furs were sold at a price of 350 gold duga.
An unenchanted fur of the same type costs only 150 gold coins. Excluding the cost of enchanting and the processing fee paid to Joan, Mr. Longfellow netted an extra 100 gold coins for each enchanted fur. Qiao An was envious, but she had a peaceful mind. After all, selling is also a technical job. Don't force it if you don't have the skills. It's good to earn a processing fee safely.
Wherever there are people, there is fashion, and a rural town like Delin Town can't escape the trend of chasing fashion. The two rich ladies looked even more glamorous wearing enchanted furs. They walked out of the leather goods shop triumphantly and immediately became the focus of the women's social circle in this town. Afterwards, people came to the door to buy the same enchanted furs. Mr. Longfellow couldn't close his mouth with joy. After entertaining the distinguished guests, he took the time to take Joan to the next room and stuffed him with a big money bag. In addition to the 250 gold Dujia remuneration, he was given an additional 50 gold Dujia bonus.
Since the enchanted furs are selling well, of course Mr. Longfellow wants to place additional orders. Joan was also happy to earn some extra money, and agreed to process 15 more enchanted furs, and the processing fee was still 50 Gold Du plus one. Calculated in this way, he can get another 750 Gold Durga as a reward.
At this time, Joan was like a "cash cow" in Longfellow's eyes, so of course he had to be easy to win over. Not only did he generously pay all the processing fees in advance, but he also offered to increase the reward by 10 gold coins for each fur. As a result, Qiao An received a total of 1,200 Gold Duga today, which can be described as the largest income he has ever earned in his life.
The 1,100 gold coins weigh more than 20 pounds, plus 15 fur coats, it is impossible for Joann to drag them home with his own hands. Mr. Longfellow called a carriage, helped Joann to load the leather coat and purse into the carriage, and escorted him home before leaving in peace.
The poor boy had never seen the world. Joan opened the purse and looked again and again. His eyes were dazzled by a large pile of shiny gold coins, and his heart was in a state of agitation. With such a large amount of money at home, I'm afraid I can't sleep well at night, always worrying about being targeted by thieves. For the sake of safety, perhaps there was still a hint of showing off that Joan didn't want to admit. He took the money bag and went to find his grandfather, asking him to keep the money for him.
Joan picked up the heavy purse and placed it in the middle of the dining table. He pretended to be casual and said to his grandfather, "This is the money I earned recently. Please save it for me."
The old man Thiel took a glance at the purse and estimated the approximate value, and he understood the subtle state of mind of his grandson, which was both funny and gratifying.
"Not bad, I made such a large sum of money in just a few days."
"It's okay, good luck." Joan pretended to be reserved, "Don't worry, the money was earned legally."
"Okay, alright, even though my old man is poor now, he also made a lot of money when he was young, so don't show off to me." The old man waved his hand angrily, "If you have money, you can improve the food. It’s not okay to eat black bread, if the body breaks down, there is no point in earning more money.”
Joan nodded, secretly moved by the concern expressed in Grandpa's words.
"It's inconvenient to carry so many gold coins, you can leave some as pocket money, and I'll save the rest for you first, the tavern in the town is also a coin exchange, you can go to the tavern to exchange large amounts of gold coins into checks before going out, and you will come to Leiden Port You can exchange gold coins back at any bank or large commercial firm, or you can pay the tuition directly with a check issued by the bank, which is more convenient." The old man told his grandson.
"Cheque..." Joan thought for a while, and indeed I saw travelers from other places use a piece of colorful paper to go to a tavern to exchange for gold coins. Presumably it was the bank "cheque" that grandpa called, "But... the school is willing to accept it. Those little pieces of paper?"
"You are such a bumpkin!" old man Tell told his grandson dumbfoundedly, "Young people will not have a great future if they stay in this small country place. When you arrive at Port Leiden, you arrive in a big city, and you have seen the world. Things will come to pass naturally.”
Joan nodded with a vague understanding. Walking out of my grandfather's hut, I was still wondering: Is the bank a place to save money? Why do people feel relieved to deposit real money in the bank and replace it with a thin piece of paper? If this small piece of paper can really be used as money, wouldn't it be possible to replace gold and silver coins sooner or later?
He couldn't figure out these things, and he didn't bother to think deeply, so he turned to think about issues that he was more interested in.
The cooperation with Mr. Longfellow was more successful than Joan expected, but he also clearly realized that the small town market is limited, and there are not many people who are willing to spend three or four hundred gold duga to buy enchanted furs. The 15 enchanted leather clothes in his hand After completion, this small market is almost saturated. Unless Mr. Longfellow intends to open up foreign markets, orders for enchanted furs will hardly continue to grow.
Joan's primary purpose of processing enchanted fur is not to make money, but to hone his own enchanting skills. Enchanting fur is no longer difficult for him, and the next thing to do is nothing more than repetitive labor, which is not worth paying for. energy. Now that you have some spare cash in your hands, you might as well try more technical topics, such as making "enchanted weapons".
Thinking of this, Joan hurried back to his hut, took out his usual dagger and stuffed it into his backpack. After thinking for a while, he stuffed the "Human Face Shield" into it, picked up his bag and went straight to the blacksmith located by the Delin River. square.
Since helping Flint Anvil solve the waterwheel incident last time, Joan has been accepted as a disciple by this skilled dwarf blacksmith, and he can come to the forge workshop to learn forging skills at any time. Since it was not long before Joann traveled to Powhatan Village at the invitation of the Conti family, and was busy studying spells after returning from the trip, he hadn't been to the blacksmith workshop a few times, so I felt a little sorry for Mr. Flint.
