Chapter 57: On vacation in Italica "Does anyone want to buy ten rolls of lake blue grass-leaf pattern brocade?"
"I want, I want, I want thirty Singer gold coins."
"I will offer you thirty-two gold coins."
"I'll give you thirty-five gold coins."
Just like the situation over at Arnus Hill, at the auction in Italica City, colorful printed silks were also the most popular earth goods.
The charming luster and smooth touch are unmatched by any known textile on the Falmat continent.
Whether it is brocade with beautiful colors, thin and translucent gauze, or taffeta with strong tension, they are all equally popular.
After using such top-notch beautiful fabrics and making skirts and robes by skilled tailors, local women wearing silk skirts generally feel that their beauty has been improved by several levels, and even their temperament has been highlighted.
They couldn't help but have their eyes brightening and flocking towards him.
Under the coquettishness and pleading of their wives and daughters at home, and looking at their longing eyes, the men had no choice but to grit their teeth and give generously.
"Sir, Master Levi, I have got two of the pterosaurs you wanted last time.
Although they are relatively small and only hatched from the eggs for four months, as long as they are fed well, they will be ready in about two years.
I can ride Lord Levi.
These pterosaurs are both difficult and not cheap.
In order to get them, I used a lot of connections and contacts."
A fat businessman rushed up and shouted eagerly.
"Very well, these ten rolls of brocade are yours.
The next auction item, twenty silk gauze scarves, are also yours."
After looking at the two small pterosaurs in the cage, Levi nodded with satisfaction, "We have always been very generous to our friends."
Looking at the fat businessman who came with two small pterosaurs, he happily asked his servants to use a trolley to pull the silk and satin back home.
The other businessmen who had obtained the qualification to enter the auction couldn't help but sigh with regret.
But he quickly cheered up and started paying attention to the next batch of items to be auctioned.
"The next shipment is fifty boxes of chive-flavored compressed biscuits."
"I want four Singer gold coins for this."
"I'll give you five."
Although not many modern Chinese are willing to chew compressed biscuits, they think they are so hard that they can give people nightmares.
But for the indigenous residents of the Falmat continent, this kind of "grain brick" that is nutritious, durable and easy to carry is much more expensive than the hard-as-a-stone that most civilians in the city usually eat.
Black bread that can only be split with an ax and can be used by housewives to kill thieves may taste better.
At least it is not mixed with sawdust, grass bran and chalk soil, nor is it baked with dried cow dung.
To save on more expensive firewood In fact, the compressed biscuits that Levi and the others sold several times in the past have been sold to surrounding countries through the caravans of these rush buyers.
Otherwise, with the poor consumption power of a small and medium-sized city like Italica, I am afraid that it would not be possible at all.
I couldn't eat the seemingly small amount of goods that Levi and the others brought out.
Well, in addition, military compressed biscuits are packed in thin iron boxes used by people from other worlds to store biscuits.
They are also taken out by indigenous merchants and sold separately, and the sales are quite good.
With the technological level of this world, How can an ordinary blacksmith knock out something like this with his craftsmanship?
"Next batch of goods, sixty boxes of mixed fruit candies" Although they seem to have little technical content, in fact, these seemingly ordinary fruit candies are treasures that the indigenous people of Falmat continent cannot produce themselves and can only be purchased from outsiders, not to mention pineapples and Tropical fruits like mangoes don’t seem to exist on this continent.
In addition, just like the previous case of compressed biscuits, the profiteers in Italica also sold the fruit candies themselves and the colorful small iron box outside separately, robbing customers of two portions of their money.
"The next shipment is eighty white cotton T-shirts."
In fact, Levi was a little surprised that T-shirts, a simple thing that seemed to have no style and did not conform to the clothing style of the indigenous people of Falmat, were actually selling well.
T-shirt when going shopping, but wear it as underwear when the weather is cold.
The shirts are stretchy, absorb sweat well and are more comfortable to wear than their linen shirts and petticoats.
As for the appearance being too simple and not in line with the aesthetics, anyway, it is worn at the bottom, and generally no one can see it.
"Next batch, one hundred colored melamine plastic bowls" While the merchants were noisily bidding to buy all kinds of otherworldly goods, a little further around the courtyard, the maids of the Earl of Formal's mansion and some of the female knights of the Order of the Rose were also looking at the past with interest.
This group of outsiders led by Li Wei.
As we all know, human beings have always had a tradition of worshiping and imitating the strong.

This is an instinct that is almost engraved in the bone marrow.
Therefore, after passing the initial stage of fear and avoidance, Mr.
Levi and the small group of alien soldiers who stayed in the city became the most watched figures in Italica.
And because of the trade fair, those of them living in the Earl's Mansion had more opportunities to interact with people from other worlds.
Some of the young orc maids were looking at the colorful and strange clothes of the alien soldiers.
For children of their age, anything new is very attractive.
But no matter how long they looked at it, they still couldn't figure out why those soldiers from another world used so many small square blocks to form strange shapes on their clothes.
Is it because they think it looks good?
Or does it have some special meaning?
, could those patterns be special religious symbols from another world?
Other older and shrewd maids are thinking about how to take advantage of people from other worlds.
After all, there are too many good things around them, such as silk, candy, colored porcelain, plastic products, small jewelry and more. , some of them have taken advantage of various opportunities to get some benefits from people from other worlds.
Although it is only a few pieces of candy or one or two trinkets, it is enough to make them who have not seen much feel very happy.
If it weren't for these alien soldiers who always left before the sun went down and never stayed overnight in the count's mansion, some of them might have recommended themselves to these generous alien soldiers, and some maids would have tried to find them.
Opportunity to flirt with them, but unfortunately those alien soldiers seem to be quite dull.
So far, they have not received any response, let alone sent any love letters, which makes the maids itchy with hatred.
All in all, with everyone watching in the Earl's Mansion, all the earth products that Levi took out this time were quickly sold out.
However, this time the transaction was not completely over, because there was still a purchasing process.
The merchants who came with the goods lined up in a long line under the scolding of the soldiers in green from the alien world, and offered them to Li Wei one by one.
They publicly released the items in advance, claiming to be ready to purchase them at high prices: seeds of crops and flowers, various live wild or domestic animals, mineral samples, rough gemstones, and books they collected from various sources, etc.
Due to the vastly different values between the two parties regarding different items, the acquisition became a heartbeat game similar to jade gambling.
Some people brought heirlooms, but they were evaluated as worthless by outsiders and rejected outright.
Some people randomly scraped together some sundries at the bottom of the box, but sold them at incredibly high prices.
However, no one dared to blackmail or play tricks, and the entire transaction process was quite orderly.
Even the maids working in the mansion lined up at the end of the queue with the private goods they had bought from all over the city and suburbs during their free time, hoping to get lucky and sell them at a good price.
However, the Earl's Mansion Bartholomew, the old butler who appears to be sanctimonious, is actually The bad old man who was greedy for money, lustful and a gambler had already gone one step further.
He secretly connected with Li Wei in private and paid for thirty rolls of silk and a large box of jewelry behind the back of everyone in the Earl's mansion. , stealing and selling out hundreds of private books in the old count's study.
What's worse is that even the diary of the late old earl and countess was accidentally sold to the people on earth.
It is used by many humanities scholars on the earth to study the daily life and debauchery of the aristocratic class in other worlds.
Provided quite detailed first-hand information on future On Earth, there are at least more than ten fantasy novels, one cartoon and one mini-series based on it, and through various exaggerated artistic renderings, the former Count Formal has become similar to the French Sade in the eyes of the people on Earth.
The image of a "great love saint" like the Marquis who is "especially good at playing" By noon, the trade fair finally came to a successful conclusion.
However, just as Li Wei and others were packing their things and preparing to leave, the nominal owner of the city, the eleven-year-old Countess Miu of Formal, shyly came up to her and invited Li Wei and others to join them in the mansion.
Lunch.
Glancing at White Rose Captain Pei Ni Zhu who was hiding behind to help, Levi suddenly realized: This little girl has finally come to her senses and wants to sit down and have a meal together to ease the relationship and express their feelings for each other.
I apologized for the previous challenges and nodded in agreement. s: I read a battle report.
Since Turkey sent troops to Syria, it has been bombarded by the air force and assisted by a large number of leading parties.
It has been fighting ISIS for half a year, but it has not yet captured Pakistan, which is thirty kilometers away from the border.
In Bucheng, fifty-four tanks and armored vehicles alone have been destroyed by ISIS.
Not to mention the overwhelming power of the US military in the Gulf War and the Iraq War.
Even compared to the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam that year, which was also in the predicament of political chaos and insufficient training, the People's Liberation Army still broke into enemy territory as far as nearly 100 kilometers in 20 days.
It can only be said that today's Turkish army seems to be worse than in World War I.
