Chapter 34 Bustling Market

"Yo, come and have a look, the fur coat on the northern grassland is warm and comfortable~"

"The yellow pomegranate fruit with frost is delicious and cheap."

"Southern Hongtan Pickled Fish is absolutely delicious, brand new recipe, brand new taste."

All kinds of hawking sounds came and went in the market, and there were many customers standing in front of each stall, bargaining with the bosses.

Eft is the capital of Baimu County, and the market here is naturally very prosperous. Residents of many surrounding small cities occasionally come by horse-drawn carriages to buy things, and then bring them back to the town or village where they live.

Compared with those fixed stores, the things sold in the market will be slightly cheaper, and then there will be more patterns, and many merchants will drag goods from other places to sell here.

Lesia, wearing a hunting suit that is convenient for movement, walked with a few people in the market, looking at the goods on the surrounding stalls. Some of the people behind them kept memorizing the types of goods they saw along the way, as well as the approximate prices.

"How do you look, you?"

"Miss, the prices here are somewhat different from those in the central provinces." A young man from the Ministry of Commerce replied.

"The salted fish in the south is a bit more expensive, and the prices of main grains such as wheat and millet are not bad, but animal meat is cheaper."

"Well, it's food."

Lesia looked at the red meat placed on the wooden case, and there were a few ice chips scattered around it, which should have been shipped from other places.

Whitewood County has gradually approached the mountains in the east and north of Crancia, and the number of beasts has also increased. In addition, the weather is slightly cold at present. Fresh meat from there can be shipped and sold at a good price, rather than made Smoked sausage.

At present, there is no large-scale animal husbandry in Crancia. Except for horses in some areas, most of the plains are mainly planted with grains. The reason is also simple, the direct output of planting grains is high, and the output of animal husbandry is low.

But it is not that there is no way to improve, the girl recalled some experiences in her previous life.

Meat is still needed, and the protein intake of the average person today is still too low.

"For other commodities, there are also more wooden products, which seem to be local specialties."

"Um."

Most of the land in Shiroki County is plain, except for grains, the local birch tree is famous, and people use this dense tree to make various utensils.

"Tomorrow we will also rent a booth here, and then sell something." After reading a circle, Lesia ordered.

"Yes, Miss." A few people behind him agreed, looking a bit eager to try.

Lesia shook her head slightly and asked a few people to contact the administrator of the market, make arrangements in advance, and then leave the market with the remaining two people.

Walking on the streets of Eft City, there are only Mira and a maid behind Lesia at this moment, and they continue to look at things on both sides of the street.

"The houses here are very neat and seem to be built with the same material."

Lesia looked at the white-to-grey bricks on the wall. Although there was a light and dark color difference between the blocks, they were roughly the same, and the roofs were also made of black blue tiles. Occasionally, I can find a smear of moss in the cracks of the bricks, and I feel that these houses must have been built for many years.

"Yes, Miss, the houses here are made of bricks fired from a clay pit in the east, so the colors are similar."

"They all use bricks from the same place, do they all have the same idea?" Lesia thought, doesn't anyone want to be different? It's rare to see such unity.

"This..." The maid was a little embarrassed, and hesitated for a while before saying.

"Because there is a family that produces bricks in the nearby dozens of miles, and that is the family property of the former city owner."

Well, it's still a monopoly. Recalling that I used to play construction games, I always liked the neat and tidy house, but I didn't expect it to be realized in this way in reality.

After roughly walking around the city, Lesia found a well-decorated jewelry store and walked in.

"Hello, what does this eldest lady need?" The clerk greeted Lesia warmly as soon as she saw Lesia came in.

Since the fall of the West Wind Noble, it has become more and more difficult to sell luxury goods. Sometimes there is no customer for a few days, and many shops are closed, and this one is the only one that still persists.

"I'll just take a look."

"Okay, please."

After turning around a little, Lesia nodded. The taste of this shop is not bad, and the style is more in line with her aesthetics, but she is not here to buy jewelry today.

"Hello, is your boss here?" she asked proactively.

"you are...."

The clerk was a little hesitant, but Mira, who was beside him, shook her long ears and took out the certificate of trade that she carried with her, and showed it to the clerk.

"Our eldest lady is the direct daughter of the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce, and now I want to discuss a business."

After carefully checking that the certificate was officially issued by the current Crancia, the clerk nodded, and then a few people waited.

"Please wait a moment, I'll find someone to notify the boss."

Lesia sat at a small round table in the store, waiting quietly, watching the scattered pedestrians on the street, thinking about what she saw and heard along the way.

Although the caravan made money is not the main purpose of this trip, she still wanted to try how it feels to do business in Crancia now, whether it is difficult or with huge profits.

After a long time, a middle-aged man with some fat walked into the store under the leadership of the clerk.

he

When he entered the door, he saw the blond lady in red dress sitting in the corner drinking tea. She professionally swept over her clothes and attire, and then walked in with a lovely smile on her face.

"Hello, I am the owner of this shop, may I ask who is this eldest lady?"

"My name is Lesia, and I'm the daughter of the owner of the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce." Roland Hill briefly introduced, and then looked at the boss a little.

He was wearing a gorgeous brown coat with an emerald wrench on his hand. He looked like a well-known businessman, but Lesia had seen many such people. When he was in Karites, the bosses of many small chambers of commerce Dress like this.

"Hello, hello, I have long admired the name."

Although he had never heard of this chamber of commerce, the boss still spoke politely. Anyway, bragging is not illegal, and everyone likes to hear it. Moreover, it is not easy for all the chambers of commerce to get the official certificate of Crancia. You must know that when the country was established, Crancia cleaned up the chambers of commerce that had colluded with the nobles in the past, and many old faces he was familiar with. all disappeared.

Fortunately, his business is not big, and it is also a luxury item. He does not have much interaction with ordinary people, and it does not harm people's livelihood, so he has escaped the disaster, but it is difficult to do a lot of business at present. However, as a seasoned businessman, he still did not give up. With his observation of the new country of Crancia, in this situation that is getting better day by day, sooner or later everyone will get rich. Indispensable.

At that time, there was only one jewelry store in the city, and it was difficult to compensate.

"What kind of business is this lady trying to talk about?"

He sat down at the small table, and the maid next to him also served him hot tea.
