Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 66 Time is money
The goblin merchant's eyes turned to the paper box in Sevi's hand.

There were some words printed on the paper box, which the goblin merchant did not recognize, but he knew that they were words from "Eastern Rabbit Datang". In other words, this box of strange pastries should have come from the distant and mysterious Eastern country, Eastern Rabbit Datang.

There were still eight egg yolk pies left in the paper box, plus Sevi had an incomplete egg yolk pie in his hand, the packaging of which had been torn open and a piece of it pinched off.

Goblin Merchant: "How much do you plan to sell these things for, my friend?"

Sevi: "Now there are only nine, oh, no, eight and a half of these things. You should know better than me what the price should be."

The goblin merchant rubbed his hands excitedly, thought for a while, reached into his arms, and took out twenty silver coins.

In the past, when he did business with the werewolves, he never used gold or silver. He only needed to take out some linen cloth to make the werewolves hand over the spoils they had exchanged for their lives. But this time, the cloth was useless, so he had to take out silver coins.

Precious metals! This stuff is extremely difficult to obtain for all marginalized races living in the western forests.

Sevi was quite satisfied: "Deal!"

Both parties pay in one hand and deliver in the other.

The goblin merchant put the paper box away like a treasure, and then asked: "Did you get these treasures from the East Rabbit Tang Dynasty, my friend?"

Sevi: "No, it was given to us by the... ahem... traveler just now."

"Is it from that man just now? Oh, my friend!" The goblin merchant smiled. "Now I am a little bit looking forward to what he will bring me. Maybe my waiting is worth it, my friend."

Zhang Jingyi quickly passed through the portal and returned to the modern era.

Crossed the road and arrived at the restaurant.

First, I took down a large jar of pepper powder that was used for the entire restaurant from the shelf, which weighed at least five pounds. Then I took out a jar of honey, which was also a large jar weighing at least five pounds. I held one jar in my left hand and the other in my right hand. It felt like something was missing.

He walked to the counter again, took out a box of chocolates from the drawer for his own fun, took out a small piece and put it in his pocket.

Then he returned to the warehouse and went through the portal back to Gilneas Town.

When he reached the east gate, the goblin merchant had already traded egg yolk pie with Sevi and had been waiting for a while.

As soon as he saw Zhang Jingyi, the goblin merchant opened his arms: "Time is money, my friend!"

Zhang Jingyi: "But you have neither."

Goblin Merchant: "Oh! Don't look at me like this, I am very rich, that's because I value time, my friend."

Zhang Jingyi: "You just think you are rich, but you are not really rich."

The goblin merchant squinted: "Prove it to me."

Zhang Jingyi handed over the jar in his left hand...

The five-pound jar was quite difficult to carry with the left hand. The goblin merchant took it, opened the lid, took a look, and was instantly shocked.

"Pepper! A full jar of pepper, weighing about five pounds." The goblin merchant couldn't believe his eyes. He sniffed it and turned his head away: "A-choo!"

He turned back again and looked at Zhang Jingyi with a different look in his eyes: "My God! You have a whole jar of pepper, my friend."

Zhang Jingyi: "I told you, you just think you are rich." The goblin merchant was scared now. The wealth of the man in front of him was beyond his expectation. In the retail channel, pepper powder was the same price as gold. One pound of pepper powder could be exchanged for one pound of gold, one to one! Real hard currency.

"I...I want to buy this can of pepper..." The goblin merchant said: "I offer four pounds of gold, but...I don't have that much cash right now. Please wait a few days and I will go home to get the money."

Zhang Jingyi: "I just said it, I don't need money, what I need is a treasure that can increase the speed of meditation and combat training."

The goblin merchant gritted his teeth and said, "I can find such treasures, but their price cannot be exchanged for five kilograms of pepper, my friend."

Zhang Jingyi: "What about adding this?"

After saying that, he handed over the jar in his right hand.

The goblin merchant opened the lid and took a look: "Honey! My God, such a big jar of honey."

At this moment, the goblin merchant really couldn't remain calm.

Pepper is more expensive than gold, but honey is even more expensive than gold. Fights among nobles over honey are common in the Magic Kingdom and the Kingdom of Knights.

This is a treasure that is enough to start a war between lords!

Goblin Merchant: "This...this...your wealth really opens my eyes. I will bring you what you want. Please wait for me for a few days."

Zhang Jingyi took both jars back: "While you are waiting, they don't belong to you yet."

The goblin merchant showed a reluctant expression on his face. How much money would he make if he resold these two cans of stuff to a big city? He could lower the purchase price by 20% here, and spend some time to sell it at a 20% higher price. In total, he could make 40%!

How much linen and thunder lizard skins would one have to resell to make that much?

"Don't worry, I'll be there as soon as possible."

Zhang Jingyi chuckled: "Now it's my turn to wait for you. I hope you won't make me wait too long. Time is money, my friend."

Goblin Merchant: “…”

"Seeing you look so pitiful." Zhang Jingyi said, "I'll give you a small gift."

He took out a small piece of chocolate from his pocket, Dove Silky Milk Chocolate, the smallest kind, 14 grams per piece.

He gently placed it in the goblin's hand: "A small gift, eat it!"

The goblin merchant tore open the bag with clumsy movements and threw the chocolate into his mouth: "Oh my God! What did I just eat? Oh my God! This thing... This thing is worth at least five silver coins. I just ate at least five silver coins in one bite? Oh my God!"

Zhang Jingyi chuckled. Looking at the goblin's expression, he knew that next time he would prepare another box of chocolates and ask for the moon in the sky. The goblin would then have to find a way to climb up to the night sky, use a pair of big scissors to cut a hole in the sky, and then pick out the piece of the moon.

"I have to hurry, I have to hurry." The goblin merchant muttered, "Please don't sell them to other goblin merchants. Make sure to recognize me. I will be here soon."

Zhang Jingyi: "But, all goblins look the same to me. I can't tell the difference between you and other goblin merchants."

Goblin Merchant: "My name is Mizimi. Please remember this name. I am the only goblin merchant who does business honestly. Other goblins are only swindlers, my friend."
