Lord of Rot

Chapter 162 The Little Gazelle's Business Experience

Before dawn outside the window, the little gazelle got up, changed his clothes and left the dormitory.

Although her sister bought out her slave status with money, she has no place to live and can only continue to live in the serf dormitory.

Fortunately, there is no money here, so she can live for free all the time.

Looking at the gray sky, the little gazelle took a deep breath: "I'm a commoner now!"

After leaving the dormitory, she trotted to the ranch first.

"Mrs. Lemm!"

Mrs. Rem is very gentle. I heard that she used to work as a maid in a certain big castle, and later came to Porcupine Collar with her husband, Mr. Subaru. At that time, the lord was not Lord Li Qi, but Lord Leard.

"I'll help you carry the fodder," the little gazelle said proactively.

"Thank you." The wife smiled and did not refuse.

The work of the porcupine collar has a clear division of regulations, such as livestock breeding, it is a sweet pastry, and those who want to work are overwhelmed.

The little gazelle didn't get the chance to work here, but she can help with some chores. Although she is very tired, after helping to move the fodder here, Mrs. Rem will give her a breakfast and milk.

Milk will give her confidence for the day ahead.

Best of all, the work can be done before the sun rises, saving her money on breakfast and not disrupting her day's schedule.

"Come, breakfast"

"Thank you!" The little gazelle bowed gratefully.

"You come to help every day. If I have to do these jobs, it will take a long time. You are really helping me a lot."

Two women, one big and one small, laughed and chatted.

After the sun came out, the young gazelle thanked again and trotted away.

"Hic" was running fast, and couldn't help hiccupping. She remembered that she had a stomachache because of running violently just after eating breakfast, which resulted in no work and no money for the whole day. Since then, she remembered to eat You can't run when you're full.

Smelling the smell of fresh grass and dung, the young gazelle passed the housing area.

Very close to the livestock village, there are rows of beautiful red brick houses.

She clenched her fist lightly: "I'm sure I can buy my own house!"

Pay it back before then.

There is no shortage of jobs in porcupine collars, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as you are willing to work, you can make money.

Unskilled hard work is the most.

At first, the little gazelle planned to go to the blacksmith factory to see if he could help tan leather or sew cloth armor, but those jobs were all taken away by the craftsmen of the blacksmith factory and their own women, and it was not her turn.

Brick movers don't need her, so she can only go to the brick kiln factory.

Today she still goes to work in the brick kiln factory.

3 Bronze Stars a day, and the work is very tiring, so she spends 1 Bronze Star to buy half a piece of bread with a bowl of soup at noon, the bread is very big, she only eats half at noon, and the remaining half can be used for dinner .

You can save up to 2 Bronze Stars a day.

It took 10 silver months for my sister to buy her slave status, which is 200 copper stars in conversion. The little gazelle needs to maintain the minimum cost of 100 days in order to repay the debt, which is already very fast.

Those slaves who have no one to spend money can only be slaves for the rest of their lives.

After entering the brick kiln factory, everyone finds their name, draws a check mark on the back, checks the check mark when leaving, and checks the number of people at work, so it is very difficult to cheat.

Her job today is to knead clay, take off her shoes, roll up her trouser legs, and then step on the mud puddles with her bare feet.

Only those who come early can have such a good job, otherwise they will have a backache and leg pain.

Most of the people who work in brick kilns are old people, women and children.

Men will go to work in carpentry workshops, blacksmith factories, mason construction teams and other places. I heard that some people can earn 5 copper stars. If they learn skills, it is possible to earn 7 copper stars a day.

In other places, it is already a high-paying job. She clearly remembers that in her hometown with a vague memory, it is common to spend a busy day with half a piece of bread, eating grass, bark, and everything else.

Oat bran porridge is also the thickest thing my father eats, and I can only drink some soup, because only when my father is full can he make money.

Life was good enough, she kept telling herself.

The sun goes down and the day's work is over.

The little gazelle followed the team and left after receiving his wages.

When passing by the business district, she subconsciously stopped.

The commercial area is officially open, and all transactions are required to be conducted in the commercial area, so the traffic here is the largest.

Some serfs will also come here to buy farm tools, vegetable seeds, etc.

The little gazelle knew that her sister had her own small stall here, because Carrot knew the stewards of the caravan, and would often ask them to help bring some small things back for sale.

She took a deep breath and walked into the business district, not because the 2 copper coins gave her confidence, but because she heard that being a businessman made the most money.

As soon as I went in, I didn't take a few steps, and a strong fragrance wafted over.

It is "Porcupine Castle Delicious Bread", which occupies the best location in the business district. The owner of this store is the lord himself, and the chefs inside are also the chefs of the castle. It can be said that if you buy bread here, you can eat and eat the same bread as the lord. Exactly the same style.

But the little gazelle glanced at the brand on the bread, the cheapest one cost 5 copper stars, she couldn't afford it at all.

It is said that there are also custom-made cakes inside, and the expensive custom-made cakes must be paid in silver moons!

When I was a slave in the past, I could exchange my work points for egg tarts, bread and broth. Unexpectedly, after I became a commoner, my standard of living dropped.

But she does not resist this kind of free life, no matter how hard it is, it is better than being a slave... right.

Blacksmith's shop, tailor's shop, carpenter's shop, apothecary's shop, etc.

Further inside is the vegetable market.

There are people from the security team patrolling here.

However, because it was getting dark, many people packed up their things and went home, and there were not many people left behind.

"How much is this?" The little gazelle walked to the booth of a very thin young man. He didn't look like a porcupine collar, and he spoke with an accent from other places.

Although the little gazelle has an accent when it speaks by itself.

The boy looked at the little gazelle and pointed at a sea fish: "3 Bronze Stars, I spent a lot of energy catching this fish."

The little gazelle shook her head. Although she really wanted to eat some meat, it was impossible to buy a fish with 3 copper stars.

"2 Bronze Stars!" said the boy.

"I... first look around." She pointed to several other stalls.

It's a very commonplace, the boy didn't chase after the salesman anymore.

She visited a few more stalls, and found that many people heard that merchants made money, and then tried to sell things, but they had no trading experience.

These people also sell a variety of things, such as sour wild fruits, fish picked up from the sea, and radishes and cabbages grown by themselves.

Now the life of the porcupine collar is just getting better. Although everyone is happy to spend part of the money on some delicious food, it is impossible to spend a lot of money.

As a result, those who sell want to make more money, and those who buy want to work hard to get cheap.

After looking around, the little gazelle had a vague idea in her heart. After eating the bread on the road, she simply washed off the heat from her body and went to bed.

Early the next morning, she still went to help carry the pasture, but instead of going to work in the brick kiln factory, she went to the vegetable market early.

After the sun came out, there were already many people in the vegetable market.

People are willing to buy fresh vegetables. Even if it is a dead fish, it will give people a fresh feeling in the morning. On the contrary, even if the gills of the fish can still move at night, it is easy to make people think that the fish has been out of the water for too long. , not fresh anymore.

Mornings are great for doing business.

The vegetable market is divided into several areas.

Except for the butcher shop managed by the castle, the others are not distinguished in detail.

She has been observing all morning.

Meat is the most bought. After the life is better, everyone can afford meat. Even if you only buy a little bit, it can be a bit meaty when you put it in porridge.

In addition, the business of selling fruits is also good. In the hot summer, spending 1 Bronze Star to buy two large fruits can serve as a meal and satisfy the taste buds.

The vegetable business is much worse. It's not that vegetables cannot be sold, but that the buyers are scattered, and people are not so enthusiastic about vegetables.

She noticed an old farmer with a sad face guarding a basket of cabbages.

"Are you feeling unwell?" the little gazelle went over to ask.

"Ugh"

The old farmer shook his head: "It's my wife. She is sick and needs a sum of money for medical treatment. I should be able to make up enough money by selling this basket of cabbage, but the vegetables are selling too slowly."

"How much do you expect to sell these cabbages?" She asked curiously.

"About 10 bronze stars." The old farmer was a little uncertain: "I picked them fresh today."

"7 Bronze Star" said the little gazelle, "If you agree, I can give you the money right now, and you don't have to worry about it here."

"You want so much?" The old farmer was surprised.

But the little gazelle said: "Although you are the only one selling cabbage in the vegetable market, you spend a whole day here. If you sell it to me, you can go home and take care of the vegetable field, and you can get money faster Go back and buy medicine for your wife."

It's not that she wants to lower the price, but that she only has 7 copper stars. If the money is lower than the old farmer's psychological expectations, she can't help it.

"it is good!"

The old farmer nodded: "These cabbages are yours!"

The transaction was completed, the old farmer took the basket, and the little gazelle sat in the old farmer's place.

She thinks this is an opportunity. If she sells at least 1 Bronze Star, 1 cabbages can sell 13 Bronze Stars, earning 6 Bronze Stars, which is already more than she earns a day working in a brick kiln factory.

There were people who bought vegetables one after another, some people came to ask a few words, some people would really stop to buy one, and when she stayed up until it was almost dark, there were still 9 cabbages left on the stall.

"The last four, I can't take them home." She imitated the hawker and shouted: "1 copper star and two cabbages, the last four!"

Hearing that 1 copper star can buy two cabbages, a peasant woman came immediately.

"Is 1 Bronze Star three okay?" The peasant woman pointed to the cabbage on the stall and said, "Look, this place has been bitten by bugs, and after a day, the vegetables are wilted. When I get home, I will definitely peel off the outer layer.”

"Okay!" The little gazelle gritted his teeth, and the vegetable market was empty.

Today, I spent 7 Bronze Stars to buy a cabbage, sold it for 10 Bronze Stars, and still have a cabbage left in my hand.

Xiao Dan went home with the cabbage in her arms. Although it was half of what she had expected as a 6 Bronze Star, doing business gave her hope, the hope of making more money!

For dinner, she used a cabbage to exchange most of the other serfs' bread.

After pouring water again, I went to bed.

When the sky was bright again, the little gazelle went out early, finished carrying the pasture, got a breakfast, and then went to the vegetable market.

She saw a pot-bellied peasant woman selling beets, accompanied by a boy of about 10, helping to unload the beets.

The young gazelle walked by.

"How do you sell beets?"

"1 Bronze Star Two"

At a cursory glance, there are about 20 beets, freshly pulled out, still covered with dew and mud.

"I want them all, but I want to buy 2 for 5 Bronze Stars."

She still said the same thing, if she is not feeling well, sitting here for a day may not be sold out, she might as well take the money and go home to rest now, she was lucky and successfully persuaded the other party.

"Will you still be harvesting beets?" asked the pregnant peasant woman.

"I want to see if it sells well," the little gazelle replied.

"Everyone likes our beetroot soup, but I don't feel well," said the pregnant peasant woman.

With more than 20 beets, I lost two or three bronze stars, but considering the lord's subsidy for pregnant families, this loss is nothing.

But the little gazelle didn't rush to agree to the other party, only saying that she would come over tomorrow. Today's business was good. After deducting the cost of buying beets, she earned 5 copper stars. The peasant woman who picked up cheap from her yesterday came again, but the little gazelle Rejected the opponent's plan to buy the remaining four or five beets with 1 bronze star.

She would rather eat by herself.

In the end, the other party had to pay for 2 Bronze Stars.

A total of 7 Bronze Stars were earned today!

Day three.

She bought beets and even cabbages from the old farmer. Putting the two vegetable stalls together, it was considered a relatively large stall in the vegetable market.

After a while, people came to patronize her booth.

"How do you sell beets?"

The little gazelle replied: "One copper star and two"

"The size is different," the other party muttered.

"Small and rotten ones are cheaper," said the little gazelle, "One copper star and three."

She didn't know what the peasant woman who sold the beets was thinking, but she did receive a few rotten beets, not many, only three.

"I want them all." The other party took out the money happily: "Where's the cabbage?"

"1 Bronze Star 1"

"Actually, my family can't eat so many beets," said the other party.

The little gazelle just pretended that he didn't hear it, and bought three if he couldn't eat it?

The two kinds of vegetables were sold together, and she sold them much faster than yesterday, and some people who bought vegetables yesterday came to her.

"The cabbage is very good, but the beets are rotten. Tomorrow, I can lower the price appropriately, or I will never buy her beets again."

Gazelle earned 9 Bronze Stars today.

Another day.

The young gazelle did not pay right away, but rummaged among the beets to find the rotten ones.

The pregnant peasant woman didn't feel embarrassed: "I didn't notice, maybe my son accidentally put the rotten stuff in."

"You can choose to pick out the rotten ones and take them away," said the little gazelle, "or sell them to me for 1 copper star and 5."

The peasant woman is used to selling the vegetables and going home to lie down every day, and they are only rotten, so she can't sell them even if she is asked to sell them. She readily agrees to this price.

Rotten vegetables can also be sold, as long as the price is cheap enough.

She earned 13 Bronze Stars.

With some savings in hand, the little gazelle immediately found the wild fruit sellers and bought their fruits in the same way.

She found that she sells a variety of products, and some people like to stay at her stall for a while.

Some people will hesitate to buy another one after buying this dish.

She started to make more and more money, and even negotiated prices with many farmers, and the business became better and better.
