Star of Civilization

v2 Chapter 53: Stranger (1)

"It's really strange...why am I afraid of this stranger? He's not tall, and his figure is as slender as a woman's. He doesn't seem to be anything special."

The peddler muttered something, shook his head and continued to fill the water.

After careful inquiries, Joyner was lucky enough to find out the location of this butcher shop. This place is not in the market, but in a "rich area" with a better environment.

The "wealthy residents" in the city are quite exaggerated. Most of the buildings in each house are complete. The three-story or four-story structure uses large pieces of sandstone. It is not known whether it was demolished from other buildings or from Where did it come from.

Although there are signs of damage in some places, they have all been renovated, which has the feeling of a villa in the pre-civilization era.

Some houses were dotted with various plants in front of the doors. The shops were at the end of a street, and they were more neatly repaired than other places. But what Joyner couldn't ignore was that across the street was a large area of ​​slums with dirty water.

It seems that **** is just across the street from heaven.

Joyner found the place, looked up at the name of the store, and found some obvious gang signs appeared on the outside wall of the store.

She pulled the cloak to cover her red hair tightly, then carried her pockets on her back, and walked directly into the butcher shop with Harris.

The light in the shop is surprisingly dim, and the old leaves are slowly turning on the wall. Joyner saw a thin fellow in a greasy apron, cutting up meat with a machete.

Behind the counter on the other side sat a tall man with an unshaven beard smoking a pipe, with eight large gold rings on his ten fingers. In front of the counter are two neatly dressed customers who are paying.

After the customer left, Joyner, who was waiting patiently, turned around and moved slowly.

In fact, the guy had noticed Joyner and Harris a long time ago, but he squinted at Joyner secretly for a long time, and didn't come forward to say hello.

He didn't stop what he was doing until he was instructed by the eyes of the butcher shop owner, and came to Joyner with a face of reluctance to ask.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?"

In fact, the disgusted guy wanted to say to Joyner: We don't accept beggars here.

But his boss was obviously more discerning than him, because he saw the rare snakeskin pocket on Joyner's shoulder, with a faint reflection on it, and he didn't know what kind of valuables were inside.

"Pa-ta-!"

Without saying a word, Joyner walked directly to the counter and threw the snakeskin bag on it.

"Oh, are you...?"

The clerk looked puzzled, looked at the snakeskin pocket, and then at Joyner's face hidden in the shadows, confused.

"How much do you think these things are worth?" Georgina said calmly.

The moment the snakeskin pocket was opened, the buddy's eyes gradually widened and shone brightly.

I saw a bag of roasted meat in front of me. The meat was white and translucent. Although some places were over-roasted and slightly blackened, it was still hard to hide the attractive aroma of the meat. Seeing this, even the butcher shop owner couldn't help stretching his neck.

"You, you want to sell these wild game?" The man was stunned for a while, then raised his head and asked knowingly, "What kind of meat is this?"

Joyner didn't answer, but just quietly looked at the tall man behind the counter.

The guy's expression at the beginning was abnormal, a little exaggerated. Although he quickly pretended to be calm, Joyner had already noticed it.

"Excuse me, are you going to sell the meat?" The boss immediately changed his face and asked.

With a smile on his face, he rubbed his hands and walked out respectfully from behind the counter. When he passed by the guy, he raised his chin deliberately, secretly showing a fierce expression, as if signaling the guy to get away.

In the eyes of the butcher shop owner, this is a rare guest!

He knew well that the mutated snake meat brought by Joyner was really rare, and it could be called the best. It had always been priceless in Hidden Sand Castle, and the rich people here would rush to buy it when they saw it.

If you can buy it yourself and sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money.

"Yes, I want to sell them all."

"Oh, sell them all?" the boss asked in surprise.

"Yes, I heard that your place is the biggest butcher shop. If you can buy it, I will be very grateful."

"No, no, no, we should thank you. Is this the meat of a mutated snake? The size of this meat is really amazing. How big is this snake?" The boss looked at his pocket, his eyes widened. Liuyuan, "As far as I know, things like this are rare now. I remember when I was a child, I often..."

The boss wanted to say something more, but when he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw Joyner's dark eyes under the shadow of the cloak, half of the words got stuck in his throat.

"I'm just asking you, are you interested in buying these things? I want cash." Joyner didn't take flattery at all.

"Uh, of course, of course! That's necessary." The boss hurriedly avoided Joyner's gaze, and carefully examined the snake meat again.

"Thicker than a tree trunk, high-grade, so rare... Tsk tsk!" The boss couldn't stop praising, and the more he looked at it, the more amazed he became.

After a simple weighing, the boss estimated with his fingers, his brows gradually wrinkled, and beads of sweat seemed to ooze from his forehead. The reason is very simple, if calculated according to the market price of the best quality snake meat, he simply can't afford that much money at hand.

"Have you seen enough?"

"Well... so, it's a bit beyond..."

The boss didn't want to lose this big deal either, and racked his brains to think of a solution, with a hard-to-let go expression on his face.

"What's the matter, haven't you calculated the price yet?" Joyner crossed her arms and urged again. She wanted to complete the deal as soon as possible, and the longer it dragged on, the more she felt that there would be danger.

"Ah, no, it's not. This matter is a bit...how should I put it." The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead, trying to give a reasonable explanation.

"Did you even remove the snake's bones?" The boss suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Yes, I threw it away."

"Ah, tsk tsk, that's such a pity. If it still has bones, it should be more valuable. Now... oh, what a pity, what a pity..." The boss shook his head, thinking about how to lower the price.

Joyner said coldly ~lightnovelpub.net~ It doesn't matter, you can calculate the price according to the boneless price. "

"Of course, of course."

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, the boss also tried his best. While thinking about it in his heart, he complimented, "I believe that to get such a prey, you must have a lot of experiences and be very touching, right?"

"That's none of your business. If you want to buy these goods, you should quickly make an offer."

Joyna had already seen the other party's careful thinking. After saying this, she put one hand on the snakeskin pocket, as if to take it away.

"Hey don't! Wait a minute, I'm just afraid that I made a mistake, so I re-estimated it just now. These wild game are probably worth the price." The boss stretched out eight fingers and gestured, and the golden ring was shining. But he continued, "But I'm afraid I don't have that much cash on hand now, can you give me two days?"

"Eight hundred?"

"Yes, 800 rupees." The boss replied while observing the situation.
