Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 148 You Are Blackmailing Me

Zhang Jingyi chuckled: "As for pepper, I have plenty of it. I can give you as much as you want, but you have to give me something that can interest me. Gold and silver alone can't impress me."

Mizumi chuckled, "Don't worry, my friend, I know what you want."

After saying that, he took out a wooden box from the carriage, opened the lid, and saw a lot of cotton piled inside to serve as a cushion. In the pile of cotton, there was a beautiful glass triangular bottle.

Although there are craftsmen in this world who can make glass, it has not yet been industrialized and cannot be mass-produced, so the price of a small glass bottle like this one is quite high.

The bottle is filled with blue liquid, which has a crystal clear feeling.

Zhang Jingyi felt at first glance that this thing was related to magic.

Mizumi showed a sly expression: "Enlightenment potion! My friend!"

Zhang Jingyi: "You just say the name, I don't know what it does."

Mizumi chuckled: "It can improve your magic power! It's a good thing that every magician dreams of."

"Oh!" Zhang Jingyi became interested. For a magician like him who changed his career halfway through, what he needed most was something that could "help things grow faster".

As soon as Mizimi saw Zhang Jingyi's expression, she knew she had found his weak spot.

The last time Zhang Jingyi said he wanted a "necklace that improves the effect of meditation", Mizimi understood that this guy was very rich and he wanted to convert his money into "combat power".

A businessman must know how to seize the weak spots of his customers, especially those with money...

As long as you know what he wants, you can cater to his preferences, exploit his weaknesses, and make all his money.

Mizimi knew that he could now ask for a sky-high price, and no matter how high the price was, the other party would have no choice but to be controlled by him.

Hey!

Take advantage!

Mizumi held up two fingers and said arrogantly, "Two kilograms of pepper! No bargaining!"

The price he asked was too high. Although the potion was precious, it was not a non-renewable resource. As long as the corresponding herbs and a great alchemist could be found, it could be made.

The rare herbs plus the great alchemist's hard work fee would cost no more than 100 gold coins.

One gold coin weighs about 1 grams, and 3.5 gold coins weigh 100 grams, which is less than half a kilogram.

Therefore, in big cities like the Capital of the Wise Kings and Sunshine City, selling something like "Enlightenment Potion" for a kilogram of pepper is considered robbery. In most cases, the nobles get their own herbs, train alchemists in their families, and make their own medicine to train the younger generations in their families. There is no need to buy it at such a high price.

When Zhang Jingyi heard the price, he immediately started to calculate in his mind. He didn't know the market, but he could calculate the purchasing power of money to estimate whether the price of this thing was reasonable.

After he finished the calculation, a weird smile appeared on his face: "Mizmi, you are ripping me off."

Mizimi: "I value integrity in business. How could I possibly rip you off, my friend?"

Zhang Jingyi: "You know whether you are extorting money or not. You want to take advantage of me because I am in a small border town and don't know the commodity prices in big cities. You want to take advantage of the information asymmetry and use a seemingly powerful technology and hard work to fool me."

all hit!

Mizimi felt a little nervous and his face turned green, but he was an experienced businessman, and even if he was exposed, he would be thick-skinned and not move. As for his face turning green, it was not a problem at all, because goblins' faces were green anyway.

Zhang Jingyi: "Wait for me here for an hour."

Mizumi: “?” As long as waiting can bring profits, Mizumi will be patient.

He waited quietly, only to see Zhang Jingyi turn to the back of the town. After about forty minutes, the roar of the engine was heard, and Zhang Jingyi drove the off-road pickup truck in front of Mizimi.

The car stopped, Zhang Jingyi opened the door and jumped out, pointing to the cargo box of the pickup truck: "Go and see what's in the cargo box behind the car. After you see it, we can talk about the price."

Mizumi ran to the back with a curious look on her face.

The cargo bed of the pickup truck was too high, but Mizimi was only as high as Zhang Jingyi's waist. Even if he jumped up, he couldn't see what was in the car. He had to use his little green hands to grab the side panels of the pickup truck and climb up. He put his feet on the tires and flipped hard, and finally flipped into the cargo bed.

As soon as he got in, Mizimi smelled a strong smell of pepper.

He quickly looked around and saw that the cargo box was filled with burlap sacks. Each sack was half a person's height, which was about the same height as Mizmi. They were full and bulging with powdery stuff.

"No way? Impossible?"

Mizimi had already guessed what was in the bag, but he couldn't believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes. Such a big cart, filled with burlap sacks, couldn't possibly be full of pepper powder, right?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
With shaking hands, he gently untied the string of a bag and looked inside.

"Really! It's a bag full of pepper."

“It’s really a truck full of pepper!”

"My goodness!"

Mizumi let out a sharp, piercing scream: "Oh my God!"

Zhang Jingyi chuckled. The load capacity of his off-road pickup truck was 2.5 tons. He didn't fill it up, so he just loaded a little over 1 ton of pepper powder. He just wanted to give Mizimiyi a little shock.

Now it seems that the shock was quite successful!

Zhang Jingyi waved to the dazed Mizimi and said, "Come down."

Mizimi's soul was now following Zhang Jingyi's rhythm. He jumped off the pickup truck, still feeling dizzy: "Oh my God, oh my God..."

Zhang Jingyi: "Can you estimate how much pepper there is in the car?"

Mizumi: "One thousand five hundred kilograms, no, two thousand kilograms."

Zhang Jingyi: "Wow, your estimate is quite accurate."

Mizumi shuddered. "It's too much, my friend."

Zhang Jingyi: "You are trying to extort money from me. I won't bargain. Two kilograms of pepper for one bottle of Enlightenment Potion, right? You are trying to take advantage of my weakness and force me to extort money from you, right? No problem! I can give you two kilograms of pepper! I have plenty anyway. This extortion doesn't hurt me at all."

Mizumi: “???”

Zhang Jingyi: "But not being hurt doesn't mean you will be happy. For example, if I slap you lightly now, although it doesn't hurt you, but you were slapped for no reason, can you be happy?"

Mizumi: “I won’t be happy.”

Zhang Jingyi: "Right, I will definitely not be happy. If I am not happy, I will give away pepper for free to Sunshine City. I will give two kilograms of pepper to each of the nobles in Sunshine City. Anyway, I can afford it, and giving things for free does not count as being blackmailed. I will not be unhappy if I give it away. Maybe they will arrange a song and dance performance to thank me. I will be very happy to see the beautiful women dancing. Then... can you still sell the two kilograms of pepper you got from me?"
