I was walking on the street with the three elf sisters. Both sides of the road were filled with shouts and cries. Some were selling snacks, some were selling handicrafts, some were selling weapons and equipment, and some were selling various medicines, because they were all private vendors. Come here The people here are almost all ordinary civilians and low-level mercenaries, and those who purchase large quantities of supplies basically go through large merchants. .
"Come, come, take a look at my armor made of cold iron from the outside. It has amazing defense. Even if you encounter a level 5 monster, you can rest easy. It only costs 100 gold coins." A man wearing rags and carrying a weapon A big hammer that is much taller than his body, a young dwarf who is no more than 1.4 meters tall is selling equipment. However, this armor looks like a commodity no matter how you look at it. In addition to its gorgeous appearance, its defense power is pitifully low. It must be something to defraud the rich second generation.
"There are many kinds of freshly baked bread. Everyone who has tasted it said it is good. Each one only costs 10 copper coins." This is a bread stall. There are indeed many kinds of bread on the stall, but the appearance is not as good as those in stores on earth. It's so beautiful that Shangguan Nengren has never tasted the bread here, so he spent one silver coin to buy ten different kinds of bread.
To do a simple conversion, 1 gold coin here is equal to 100 silver coins, which is equal to 10,000 copper coins, and 1 gold coin can allow an ordinary family of three to have enough food and clothing, and a silver coin contributed by a Shangguan capable person can allow this baker to support himself one day.
"Try them all." The breads were all packed in big paper bags. Shangguan Nengren took a piece of bread with jam and let the three elf sisters choose. .
The three elf sisters ignored the choice of bread. Shangguan Renren took a bite of the jam bread and came to the conclusion in an instant - so-so.
The bread flour of the bread itself is still very good, comparable to that of Baobao agricultural products, but the method of making bread is too ordinary, and the processing of jam is not fine enough, some nutrients are lost, and the taste is also worse. Of course, for civilians, This is delicious enough, but Shangguan Nengren is the god of food, so how can such bread be so discerning?
Putting the last bite of bread into his mouth, he clapped his hands and Shangguan Ningren said: "It's just so-so. There's nothing wrong with the materials, but the craftsmanship is a bit poor."
"Yes." The three elven sisters nodded. On Earth, they were accustomed to tasting top-notch delicacies. These breads might have been rare delicacies to them in the past, but now they can only be regarded as food that can 'fill their stomachs'.
"Don't waste it if you buy it." Shangguan Nengren laughed and took out two more loaves: "After all, it was made by others with hard work. Food is in short supply now, so don't waste it."
The three elf sisters nodded. Although they don¡¯t have big appetites, the breads are not big, so it¡¯s no problem for each person to eat two.
Four people were eating bread and wandering around. A child wearing patched clothes walked towards them. When the child saw the bread in the hands of the four people, a trace of desire flashed in his eyes. After observing it, he found that the four people seemed to be very kind, and there must be something in his heart. , stepped forward to the four of them, with a trace of hesitation and stubbornness in his eyes, he took out a very strange-looking stone from his pocket. It was strange because the stone had an angular shape and could not tell what it looked like. It's dim and not pretty.
"Sir, ladies, can I exchange this piece of yellow stone for your bread?"
The three sisters Shangguan Neng and Elf had noticed this child before. This child was about ten years old, thin and small, and his clothes were also patched. At first glance, he looked like a child from a poor family, maybe even an orphan, but Although this child's clothes are very tattered, he is very clean, especially his eyes, which have a bit of worldly stubbornness.
Shangguan Nengren didn't pay attention to the stone, but after seeing the child's eyes, he felt a trace of compassion in his heart.
"What a pitiful child." The three elf sisters were kind-hearted and could not bear to see such a miserable child. It would be fine if they did not encounter him. Now that they did, they were very willing to help this child.
"Are you hungry?" Agate handed the remaining half of bread to the child: "You eat some first, and I'll buy some more."
"I'm not a beggar!" The child slapped Agate's hand away and pursed his lips: "I don't need to be pitied either. I said I would exchange yellowstone with you. This is a reciprocal exchange. I am not inferior to you. Accept it." Your disgusting sympathy."
"You why are you kid like this!" Manao was very angry, but her good intentions were treated as a fool. She had never met such a person, but this was a child of about ten years old. No matter how angry she was, she could not use force.
"Okay." Shangguan Nengren raised his hand to stop Agate, and then looked at the child. Although he was very thin and his face was unhealthy and pale, but if you look closely, you can see that the facial features are very delicate, especially the eyes, which are very special. There is a god, and the eyes are the windows to the soul. Shangguan capable people saw this child in these eyesThe stubbornness and unyieldingness of the world.
"The eyes are very good." Shangguan Nengren smiled slightly and squatted down. Even so, he was an inch taller than the child. The two looked at each other. There was a bit of surprise in the child's eyes: so majestic eyes.
"How much bread do you want to exchange for?" In surprise, the child heard Shangguan Jingren's question.
The child calmed down and said, "Two."
"Deal." The capable man nodded, opened the paper bag containing the bread, and there was another loaf inside. Then he put the one that had not yet been eaten and put it in front of the child: "Here are two."
The child nodded and handed the stone in his hand to the Shangguan capable person: "Don't think I'm lying to you. In fact, this yellow stone is really powerful. It's even harder than steel."
"Oh?" Shangguan Ningren took the yellow stone in his hand and looked at it over and over. It looked like an ordinary stone, and the dark yellow color made it even more ugly than the stones on the roadside. But Shangguan Ningren After squeezing it hard, it turned out to be just as the child said, it was very hard and not damaged at all. This made Shangguan Ningren's expression change, and his eyes became extremely serious.
He kept applying more force in his hands, and finally used all his strength. However, the yellow stone was still extremely solid, without any change. Shangguan Nengren was completely surprised.
He knew his grip strength very well. Even if a piece of innate metal fell into his hand, he could crush it into powder, but this piece of yellow stone The Shangguan capable man looked up at the child, who was eating the bread with big mouthfuls. I was a little anxious and choked.
Shangguan Nengren chuckled lightly and took out the wine gourd he carried with him: "Take a sip!" (To be continued.
