Chen Daolin carried the magic storage leather bag on his back and wandered around the elven tribe for a while.
It's just that his last shipment was too popular, so along the way, many passing elves would cast friendly glances at him.
There will even be elves who will come up enthusiastically and talk to him while gesturing with him.
It's a pity that Chen Daolin really doesn't know anything about the language of the elves, and Barossa, the former personal translator of the queen, may not be able to count on it now, and he can't trade with the elves.
Chen Daolin thought as he walked in this tribe, and had the heart to find Barossa.
But when I think about it, the elf chick is only afraid that she hates herself to death at this time, and she finds it like this, and I'm afraid she won't have a good face.
And Lanlan is in the tribe, so it's better not to play with fire.
But there was no Barossa as a translator Chen Daolin's eyes suddenly lit up.
Isn't there a caravan from the Tulip Family's workshop in this tribe?
First, I have a strong interest in this long-known legendary family, and secondly, it is naturally because of Lanlan, I can't help but want to try what this family is like.
As for the third, if you can bargain for something by the way, why not do it for Chen Daolin At this moment, he has regarded the young man of the Tulip family, who has only one side, as the number one rival in his heart.
There is nothing cooler in this world than a pit rival Since Chen Daolin had made up his mind, he immediately put it into action.
Although he didn't understand the language of the elves, this elven tribe only had a population of more than a thousand people, and he had only walked around this tribe before he found his goal.
At the edge of the tribe, near the Great Round Lake, a meadow was carved out between several large trees.
It has apparently been designated as a makeshift camp by the elven tribes.
Several wagons were parked alongside, laden with goods, piled up like hills of round barrels, and large leather chests, and bundles of things tightly wrapped in a thick material that seemed to be tarpaulin.
The horses pulling the cart had been taken away, and in the distance, on the shore of the lake, several men in short shirts were brushing the horses by the lake, while others were carrying bags of hay and placing them in front of the horses.
The campsite, right next to the carriage, had several tents of various sizes erected.
The tents are arranged in an arc, and in the middle, a bonfire is built.
It was already nearly dark, and although the sun was still setting and the lake was shining, the bonfire had been lit, and several iron kettles were hanging on it.
There were also two large iron pots, set up there, with a strong flame below, and the iron pot was full of thick soup, and there was a young man in a short shirt with a white beard, holding a huge white radish in one hand and a sharp knife in the other, and was cutting the radishes into small pieces one by one and throwing them into the soup.
The soup was already boiling, and the breeze blew, and suddenly there was an enticing fragrance.
The aroma actually made Chen Daolin swallow his saliva hard.
Right next to the campfire, there were a few men, all dressed in short shirts.
One was sitting under the wheels of a carriage, carefully wiping the blade of a saber.
There are also two people, holding swords and shields, practicing attack and defense in the open space behind the carriage, attacking and defending each other, and the table tennis is very happy.
Chen Daolin approached from a distance, and these people immediately became alert The one who was cutting the radish immediately put it down and stood up, intentionally or unintentionally.
The one who wiped the blade immediately put away the cloth and quietly held the knife in his right hand.
As for the two guys who were practicing by the river, they stopped their movements even more carefully, and quietly leaned over from both sides, intentionally or unintentionally sandwiching Chen Daolin in the right.
"What is Your Excellency?"
The turnip cutter took the initiative to speak.
Chen Daolin smiled, deliberately spread his hands to show that he had no weapons and no malice, and said loudly: "I met Mr.
Geyan at the tribal elder today, and thanks to his invitation, I have to be free at this time, so I came to pay a visit." ” "Oh" The expressions of the other party did not change much, and their vigilance did not decrease at all, and they still surrounded Chen Daolin in a proper situation.
But at this time, there was movement in the largest room in the middle of the row of tents, the curtain of the tent was opened, and the powerful figure walked out with the eye-catching Mediterranean bald hairstyle, and a hearty smile appeared on his face from afar: "Hahaha, it's Your Excellency Darling, I was about to invite someone to invite you to dinner, but I didn't expect Your Excellency to come first, please sit down together."
As he spoke, he glanced at these companions of his own, and his tone was very relaxed: "This is Mr.
Darling, and he is also our colleague, an adventurer who came to the Frozen Forest, since everyone meets here is fate, let's get drunk together at night." ” The other people put away their weapons one after another, but they just looked at Chen Daolin a few times more or less, and their faces and eyes finally faded from their guard.
However, Chen Daolin saw a faint trace of disdain and disdain in the eyes of the guy who cut the radish.
It's no wonder that they are caravans of the world-famous Tulip Family Workshop, and even if they come to this dangerous frozen forest, they are treated as guests by the proud and xenophobic elves. is also doing business, and people seem to be on the right track, so naturally they will not look down on such a gang as a single gang.
However, since Chen Daolin has made up his mind to set some news or bargain, he naturally doesn't care about other people's disdainful eyes or attitudes.
He greeted Geyan warmly, and then sat down with him in front of the campfire.
At first glance, this Geyan is a veteran of running the rivers and lakes, and he is the leader of this caravan.
After Chen Daolin exchanged a few words with him, the other party smiled directly: "Your Excellency already knows that we belong to the Tulip family, and we are just running errands for the Duke's property and earning some hard-earned money to support the family."
Speaking of which, I have also been running on the line of the Frozen Forest for many years, and have been trading with the nearby elves for many years, but this is the first time I have seen a peer like Your Excellency.
I don't know where Mr.
Darling made his fortune before."

Chen Daolin laughed and said bluntly: "Where did I make some money, let me tell you, I actually came to the Frozen Forest for the first time to do business, but I heard that there are many opportunities here, so I came to take the risk and try my luck." ” "Hmph" When Chen Daolin said this, Ge Yan didn't react, and the man who cut the radish next to him couldn't help but snort coldly with disdain, and said lightly: "This frozen forest is not a place that can be walked at will, and I don't know how many people have always taken risks and tried their luck to get rich, and in the end, most of them have become the feces of demonic beasts." ” Ge Yan's face stiffened, frowned and glanced at this companion, then turned his face to Chen Daolin and smiled: "Don't care about him, this guy has been filled with a lot of horse urine at noon, and he hasn't woken up yet."
Born with a foul mouth, there is actually no malice. ” After a pause, without waiting for Chen Daolin to speak, Ge Yan continued to ask: "But I'm also really curious, I see your walking steps and figure, it doesn't seem like a person who has practiced martial arts, dare to venture alone in this frozen forest, you must have a unique skill, forgive my clumsiness, are you a magician?"
Chen Daolin sighed in his heart, he didn't mind pretending to be a magician, but the problem was that he was not a person in this world at all, and he didn't know anything about what a magician in this world was like, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to pretend, so as not to be exposed by someone after saying two words, which would be embarrassing.
Thinking of this, he simply shook his head and said: "Mr.
Geyan said that I am a magician, I am just an ordinary person, except for being a little bolder, I really don't have any other skills." ” These words made Ge Yan slightly surprised, he glanced at Chen Daolin carefully, where was he willing to believe Chen Daolin's words in his heart, he only believed that the other party must have some hidden skills but refused to say it.
He has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he also knows that since the other party has a taboo, it is not easy to ask more, so he immediately changed the topic: "I heard Your Excellency speak Roland language, it seems to have a northwest accent, is it not that you are also from our northwest, but you are really your own people." ” This seemed to be said casually, but as he finished saying this, Ge Yan's eyes were staring at Chen Daolin carefully.
Chen Daolin knew that if he didn't say something, he might not be able to fool him.
He smiled and said, "See, I'm not from the northwest, well, speaking of which, I'm from the south."
Well, I'm kind of a Nanyang. ” The identity of Nanyang people was mentioned by others before, and Chen Daolin remembered it carefully after hearing it.
If he wants to blend in with this world, he must have a plausible disguised identity.
"Nanyang" Ge Yan seemed to frown, looked at Chen Daolin carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Mr.
Darling, what you said is serious" Before Chen Daolin could speak, the guy who cut the radish on the side had already finished cutting a radish and casually inserted the short knife into a wooden stake beside him.
This man looked at Chen Daolin coldly and sneered: "Speaking of Nanyang, my understanding of Nanyang, there is anything more in this world than people from my tulip family, you say that you are from Nanyang, I don't believe this."
You know, when Brother Geyan was young, he used to play for the family fleet and went to trade in the South Seas, you are so dishonest when you talk and hide your head."
As he spoke, he said quickly: "Although the people in Nanyang also have black hair and a similar skin color to you, the climate in Nanyang is hot, and most of the people's hair is black and curly, but you have straight and short hair.
Besides, most Nanyang people are born with short stature, but your body shape is clearly not like those Nanyang monkeys.
As for the accent you speak, there is no hint of Nanyang flavor.
I don't think you are a Nanyang, your complexion and black hair are a bit like those barbarians of the Northwest Grasslands. ” Chen Daolin was a little speechless, and Ge Yan on the side deliberately waited for his companion to finish speaking, and then pretended to shout loudly: "What you said, you have only been to Nanyang a few times, do you think you know all the customs and customs of Nanyang, don't think that you know a little something, you like to wander, and quickly apologize to Mr.
Daling."
The companion snorted and frowned, "Boss, you are too polite, this kind of fool who runs alone in the frozen forest and is full of wealth, if you don't care about him, maybe you will become the feces of the monster in a few days." ” With that, he pulled out the knife on the stake, sneered, and strode into the tent.
Chen Daolin is not a fool, where can he not see that the other party is playing a red-faced and white-faced trick, he tried his best to calm down, smiled hard, and then said: "No wonder my brother is confused, I only said that I am a Nanyang person, but in fact, I am not from Nanyang." ” Ge Yan smiled faintly: "Oh, could it be that Mr.
Darling's ancestors are from Nanyang" Chen Daolin smiled faintly, but did not answer.
This time, he neither affirmed nor denied it, but it made it difficult for Ge Yan to continue to ask.
This guy is really talkative, and immediately changed the topic, and said: "Since everyone is considered a peer, I don't know what rare goods Mr.
Darling got when he came to the frozen forest this time."
Chen Daolin laughed and said: "I'm a single-runner, where can I have a lot of money, but the tulip family workshop is famous all over the world, I don't know how many rare treasures, I just hope that Mr.
Geyan's fingers can leak something, it will be enough for me to eat and drink." ” When he said this, he put his posture very low.
However, as the leader of the caravan of the Tulip Family Workshop, this Geyan traveled south and north, and how experienced he was, how could he be stunned by Chen Daolin's few compliments Besides, since Ge Yan knew about the strange relationship between this kid and Lan Lan, how could he not pay attention to Chen Daolin "Mr.
Darling, why should you be presumptuous?"
Ge Yan saw that he had been talking for a long time, but this guy didn't get in the oil and salt, so he simply stabbed him: "Although I have traveled south and north for many years, but I am a rare young hero with courage like you, even a person in the temple like Miss Lan Lan who does not eat the fireworks of the world will fall in love with you."
Your Excellency's skills hehe, my generation is also a man, I really admire it in my heart."
What he said made Chen Daolin's face suddenly collapse.
He deliberately squeezed out a bitter smile and waved his hand again and again: "Mr.
Geyan, don't stimulate me so much, speaking of Lan Lan's identity, you praise me for being a kind, but I myself am covered in cold sweat when I think about it now, if I am accidentally caught by the people of that temple, wouldn't I have to be tied to the stake and burned to death?"
Ge Yan was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Daolin, and frowned: "Your Excellency said something strange, although the temple has strict regulations, but when it comes to such a thing as burning people at the stake, it is an old thing that has long ceased to exist."
Since the ancestors of my tulip family have been in charge of state affairs, they have pushed for religious changes and taken over the power of the temple.
Although today's temple has great prestige, but when it comes to divine power, it has been weakened a lot, and the current temple must not skip the national law of the empire and arbitrarily deprive any small people of their lives Such good laws, so that the church's burn stake has not been lit for a hundred years, and what is the burning stake of my tulip family is saying now, it is a joke. ” Hey, there's such a thing When Chen Daolin heard this, his expression suddenly became very relaxed.
It sounds, it seems that the ancestor of the Tulip family, that is, the time-traveler who has carried out the religious reform, and it seems that the temple in this world has no right to burn people, nor does he have the right to skip the law of the country and execute people casually, which makes Chen Daolin much more relieved.
But then Ge Yan continued: "Speaking of which, this burning stake is of course impossible, but Your Excellency must know that the Holy Woman is a future talent that the temple has spent countless efforts and efforts to cultivate, and it is also necessary to select outstanding people from among countless candidates, and the cost is huge.
Such an important person was poached by Your Excellency so quietly, to be honest, even if it was my Tulip family, I am afraid I am embarrassed to do this.
Your Excellency's courage is indeed not small, no wonder you dare to venture alone in the Frozen Forest.
After a pause, he continued: "Although the direct imposition of death by the temple is not allowed by imperial decree, the temple is deeply rooted after all, and there are still some theocratic privileges.
If Your Excellency doesn't have any background, it won't be much difficult for the Temple to rectify people like yours.
Besides, that old brother, you kidnapped the holy saintess candidate of the temple, this is simply a naked slap in the face, this kind of shameful humiliation, how can the temple endure even if the decree does not allow it, maybe in a rage, in order to protect the face, it will also send a holy knight to hunt down and kill you first.
It's a big deal to have another fight with the empire afterwards, and the empire won't turn its face with the temple for you alone. ” Chen Daolin's face changed again, looking at this face, he scolded in his heart: This bastard, if you talk half of your speech first, you can not finish it directly in one breath Ge Yan's words were already superficial, Chen Daolin thought about it in his heart, raised his hand, and expressed his gratitude.

At this time, Ge Yan had already touched it from his arms, but he took out a small cloth bag, slowly opened it, and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, there is still some time for dinner, you might as well try this good thing of mine first."
This tobacco leaf was brought from the South Seas by the fleet of my tulip family, and although the ones I got were not of the highest quality, if they were to be sold, the little nobles in the countryside would still break their heads and grab them. ” After speaking, the open cloth bag in his hand was indeed filled with a small lump of black, black, green and green dried leaves.
Chen Daolin only glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, but, speaking of this tobacco leaf, I also have some good things here."
My thing is definitely not as good as yours, but I ask myself that it is a rare commodity, even if you are used to going south and north, I am afraid that you really have not tasted it. ” After speaking, Chen Daolin pretended to touch it from the magic storage bag behind him, and found a brown paper bag.
Of course, this brown paper bag was brought by Chen Daolin from the real world, and it was some high-quality tobacco that he bought in a tobacco store The production of tobacco with modern technology is naturally far superior to this other world.
Chen Daolin took it out and slowly opened the kraft paper bag, there was a mezzanine in the paper bag, but the mezzanine contained cigarette paper.
Chen Daolin took out two cigarette papers, twisted a small cluster of tobacco with two fingers, and rolled two cigarettes thinly.
One shouted in his mouth, and the other was handed to Ge Yan, who looked a little surprised.
Then he pulled a burning wood out of the fire, lit a cigarette for himself, and lit it for Gyan. took a deep breath, and then brewed slightly, the blue smoke erupted from his mouth, Chen Daolin pretended to be intoxicated, but quietly squinted his eyes and peeked at Ge Yan.
At a glance, this guy has taken a deep breath, and when the smoke enters his throat, this guy suddenly widens a pair of bull's eyes, staring at the lit cigarette in his hand, and then forgets to breathe excitedly for a while, until the smoke chokes out of his mouth and nostrils, this guy coughs again and again, but he can't wait to ask in a hurried voice: "Your Excellency Darling, this smoke, this is also a tobacco leaf, how can the taste be so sweet and mellow for me" He said a few words, his anger was a little smoother, and he stared at Chen Daolin with wide eyes: "I have also been to Nanyang, although Nanyang produces tobacco leaves, but such mellow things, I am afraid that those Nanyang high-quality goods are also difficult to compare, and what is even more rare is that how your tobacco leaves are twisted into such fine silk, what kind of process, I have been in the family workshop for many years, but it is unheard of."
Of course you haven't.
Chen Daolin was proud in his heart, and thought to himself: Even if the ancestor of the tulip family is a traverser, can he still make a complete set of tobacco assembly lines Ge Yan took two deep breaths in a row, savored the taste of the cigarette for a while, and couldn't help but praise it continuously: "It's good, it's good, it's good, it's mellow, but there is no spicy tobacco at all, and I smell it, it doesn't seem to have the taste of spices, in order to cover up the spicy taste of tobacco, spices are used, and sometimes if you use too much, you will inevitably lose your original taste."
Your Excellency, this is called tobacco, is it?"
Chen Daolin smiled slightly: "Well, Brother Geyan, I can only say sorry."
In business, this thing is made by my exclusive skills, but it is inconvenient to tell you. ” "Yes" Ge Yan suddenly woke up from the excitement, he is also a veteran businessman, naturally knows the rules of this industry, since this tobacco is Chen Daolin's unique skills to get something, it is naturally extremely expensive, this so-called unique skill, for any business, is the root of life, how can it be easy to show people is that he just asked rashly, it is abrupt.
However, this Geyan immediately turned his mind in his heart, and he frowned and looked at Chen Daolin: "Hey, brother, with all due respect, although your thing is good, there is something wrong with it." ” "Well, no," Chen Daolin was stunned.
"Ugh."
Ge Yan Zhengse said: "If you want to say the quality of your tobacco, it's nothing, but this frozen forest is the territory of the elves, but these elves have never been fond of tobacco, and they are even more disgusted with tobacco."
And in this world, except for us Roland people who like tobacco, only the dwarves in the Kilimano Mountains far west are good at this bite.
Speaking of which, the dwarves are smokers, and our Roland Empire has to sell a large amount of tobacco to those dwarves every year. ” After a pause, he looked at Chen Daolin: "Although this thing in your hand is good, but if you get this elf clan's territory, I'm afraid that no matter how good it is, it won't be able to sell it." ” yes Chen Daolin was stunned.
To be honest, he really didn't think about the idea of the elves not smoking, and when he selected the goods he brought from the real world, tobacco was also used as a big killer in his plan.
But now listening to Ge Yan say this, Chen Daolin thought back to all the novels, stories and film and television dramas he had watched, and it seemed that the elves really didn't smoke.
Even in foreign fantasy movies, only humans or dwarves will hold a big pipe.
But when this Geyan mentions this stubble, I'm afraid it's not so simple Chen Daolin thought in his heart, and deliberately made a surprised expression on his face, and deliberately shouted: "Oh, I really didn't expect this."
He had a look of regret on his face, and even patted his thigh and said, "Confused, really confused, I know too little about this elf race, but I didn't expect that the things I brought would not be used." ” As he spoke, he raised his head and looked at Ge Yan: "Dude, thank you for the reminder, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to pay some this time." ” Ge Yan smiled "boldly" and patted Chen Daolin: "Brother, speaking of which, it is fate that we met here."
Although this tobacco elf doesn't like it, if it is brought back to the Roland Empire, it is very easy to sell.
My tulip workshop is doing this business, and if you believe me, you might as well sell me this tobacco.
This will also prevent you from carrying it back and forth, and I will take it back and sell it. ” "It's fine."
Chen Daolin touched his head and looked at Ge Yan: "But, brother, this price" "Hehe, my tulip family is in business, and I will never lose you."
Ge Yan laughed, thought for a while, and said, "This tobacco."
When we received the goods in Nanyang, it was about twenty copper plates and a tael" Looking at Chen Daolin's face, he immediately changed his words and said: "But that is the price of ordinary goods, if you encounter high-quality and rare goods, one or two tobaccos can be sold for a silver coin."
I see that your goods are quite good, so I will charge them according to the best price of tobacco, you see how it is."
Chen Daolin listened, with a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart.
Damn, is this a fool to pit Lao Tzu He immediately put away his smile and said lightly: "Dude, it's not wrong to say what you said."
But there's one thing I don't understand.
What is the price of this tobacco in the South Seas, but what is the price on the mainland, the South Seas are far overseas, and the price is collected and transported to the mainland, plus the expensive shipping and storage costs, as well as the loss on the road.
What is the price of this high-quality tobacco in the Roland Empire?"
Ge Yan listened, the smile on his face was slightly unnatural, and he glanced at Chen Daolin deeply: "Hahaha, this is indeed something I owe to consider." ” He thought for a while and said, "Brother, how much tobacco do you have in your hand?"
"Two or three pounds."
Chen Daolin said casually.
Ge Yan smiled, shook his head and said, "It's not a big amount."
I could have taken all of this stuff, but brother, I have something to say first.
I'm not interested in your little bit, since this is your exclusive skill, then we can cooperate well in the future.
It's not a problem that your exclusive skills have made it all underwritten by my tulip family's workshop. ” Speaking of this, Geyan groaned slightly, stretched out his foot and scratched the ground.
Chen Daolin looked at the other party, a little puzzled.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
"A gold coin and a tael of tobacco."
Ge Yan said lightly: "But you have to ensure that the quality of the goods in the future must not be lower than those in your hands."
If I can do it, then the price of a gold coin and a tael of tobacco can be decided with you now."
Chen Daolin's heart suddenly became hot A tael of tobacco, a gold coin You must know that the gold coin of the Roland Empire, Chen Daolin has seen a gold coin that is almost slightly larger than a one-yuan coin in the real world.
In terms of weight, a gold coin is about ten grams.
That's ten grams of gold One or two shredded tobacco for ten grams of gold According to the gold price in his real world, it is about 4,000 yuan And how much did it cost to buy these tobacco?
Those better imported tobacco shreds are only twenty or thirty yuan for one tael This change of hands has become more than 4,000 Now that he has such a magic storage purse, if he takes it to the real world and buys a few tons of tobacco, he will sell it to this wealthy tulip family Damn, you can really retire right now, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life "But dude, a gold coin or two tobacco, are you sure" Chen Daolin couldn't believe it.
Ge Yan smiled faintly: "This thing of yours is of very good quality.
I've seen those high-quality goods in the family workshop, but I'm afraid that's all there is to it. ” But he secretly thought in his heart: Those high-grade tobacco, sold to those wealthy nobles in the imperial capital, how much tobacco can be exchanged for the same weight of gold, and one or two pieces of tobacco can be sold for five or six gold coins For those wealthy nobles with hundreds of millions of dollars, this bit of enjoyment is nothing Chen Daolin immediately took out all the two packs of tobacco in his bag, and said with a smile: "There are more than a dozen cigarette papers here, and I will give them to me." ” Ge Yan smiled faintly, he showed a bit of the spirit of a big family businessman at the moment, he took the tobacco and put it directly behind him without looking at it, and then took out a small bag, checked it, and heard a commotion inside, and said, "Brother, here are thirty gold coins."
If it's a lot of bento, I'll treat you to a drink, brother.
In the future, when we trade again, I will invite you to drink our Northwest specialty wine."
Chen Daolin was not hypocritical, he took the money bag and stuffed it into the bag without looking at it.
This action made Ge Yan's eyes show a little appreciation.
Immediately, Ge Yan smiled and said, "Now that the business is over, let's eat." ” As he spoke, he carefully extinguished the cigarette and solemnly put it into his arms.
Chen Daolin laughed, took a puff of cigarette, and said, "Brother, slow down, since you are so bold, I still have some things I want you to see." ” Hey, I finally met a big Kaizi, why don't you kill him now, but when Thinking of this, Chen Daolin had already taken out another thing from his leather bag with a smile:
