Chapter 60 Here comes the money giver

  North gate of the outpost.

  Two men dressed in avant-garde clothes sandwiched the two-headed bull one behind the other, and stopped in front of the north gate.

  The person standing in the front is holding a 7mm revolver, a specialty of Honghe Town, in his hand. Although the muzzle of the gun is facing down, his eyes have been cruising back and forth on and around the fence, alerting to possible dangers.

   This man is strong!

   This was Chu Guang's first instinct.

  As for the person standing at the back, it was the businessman surnamed Sun whom Chu Guang had met before.

   "Haha, my old friend, we meet again!"

  Seeing Chu Guang appearing at the door, the tension on Sun Shiqi's face disappeared immediately, and he opened his arms joyfully and enthusiastically, and greeted him.

  I could smell the smell coming from him from a long distance away, and Chu Guang, who couldn't stand it, didn't hug him, but stretched out his right hand instead.

  Sun Shiqi smiled, without embarrassment, changed his posture obediently, held Chu Guang's right hand and shook it vigorously.

   and let go.

   "Sorry, I've been on the road for almost five days, and I didn't have time to take a shower, so I made you laugh!"

   "It's okay," Chu Guang glanced at the man standing next to the two-headed ox, and cast a questioning look at Sun Shiqi, "Who is this?"

"He is the gunman I hired in Honghe Town. He is responsible for my safety along the way. There are a few gunmen in Honghe Town who are very trustworthy and reliable. The most important thing is that they know how to avoid getting close The predators in the area clashed... mainly for the sake of insurance, you just pretend he doesn't exist!"

  Gunners Guild?

   I'm afraid they are predators who have washed their hands in the golden basin.

   Chu Guang nodded, his eyes stayed on the large two-headed bull for a while, and his eyebrows slightly raised with a trace of interest.

  It seems that the air-dried meat they make is very popular in Honghe Town. The last business should have made this guy a lot of money. Not only did he have money to buy a batch of new goods, he also hired a bodyguard.

   This is a good thing.

   Only a win-win business can last long.

   "How about the way to Boulder City? Is it easy?" Chu Guang asked casually.

"I haven't been to Boulder City before, and I don't know much about the situation there." Sun Shiqi shook his head like a rattle, "After leaving your place last time, I went to a farm not far from your place. It just so happened that they I was very interested in the rest of my goods, so I exchanged some grain with them and went back directly."

  “The road conditions in the city are too complicated, and the ruins inside are like a maze. I would rather walk 10 kilometers in the wilderness than walk a mile in the city.”

"You should also feel that this year's winter will be more difficult than previous years. The food price in Honghe Town has skyrocketed. Those dignitaries like mine owners and slave owners can't get used to those black nutrient creams. I almost just Carry things to the trading post, and they will be snapped up by their servants in no time."

   "I thought that since the sales were so good, I might as well come back before the heavy snow blocked the road, so I hired a bodyguard and set off, hehe."

   "It's so easy to sell? It seems that I sold it cheap last time." Chu Guang said half-jokingly.

   Realizing that he was getting carried away, Sun Shiqi coughed dryly and said with a smile.

   "My lord, you are joking. We traveling merchants do business with our heads pinned to our belts. We say we can make some money, but in fact we only earn travel expenses."

"Okay, don't sell me badly. How much you earn is up to you. If you have money, remember to buy two more cows, and bring more things in the next spring," Chu Guang interrupted his nonsense, and said straight to the point, " What do I want? Have you brought it?"

  Sun Shiqi said quickly.

   "Bring them all! Hehe, don't worry, I will definitely not forget your order!"

  The mutated two-headed cow usually weighs more than one ton, and has a load capacity between 700 kg and 900 kg. Its mobility in ruined terrain and wild terrain is relatively good, slightly inferior to that of the mutant yak.

  In addition to 500 kilograms of coins, Sun Shiqi also used the money he earned to purchase less than 100 kilograms of supplies.

   Among them, there are tradeable ones, including a bag of sallow coarse salt, which weighs about 10 kilograms. There are also 10 7mm revolver rifles, and two large bags of heavy bullets and so on.

  Although he still has some loads left, he has no extra money to purchase goods.

  Usually, in this situation, these less wealthy merchants would take the risk of taking a detour to pick up waste, but at this point in time, it is obviously inappropriate to do so.

   While checking the bullets in the sack, Chu Guang noticed that the two big bags of bullets were all made of copper?

  It seems that Honghe Town does not seem to be short of copper.

  However, compared with the stamped-formed shells produced in Jushicheng, many of the bullets produced in Honghe Town are made of copper skin, and there are depressions and protrusions visible to the naked eye on the shells.

   No wonder they make this kind of semi-automatic revolver with a simple receiver structure.

   With a slightly more precise receiver, the ammunition may get jammed after a few rounds.

   Is this the gap between industrial survivor strongholds and resource survivor strongholds?

  Throwing the few bullets in his hand back into the bag, Chu Guang silently recorded the information in his heart.

   "...How about it, my lord? Are you satisfied with these goods?"

  Sun Shiqi had a flattering smile on his face.

  If possible, he hoped that Chu Guang would buy all these things.

  In this way, he can also bring more air-dried meat back.

"Weapon, coarse salt, and those coins, I want them all." His eyes fell on the last bag. Chu Guang glanced at it and found some **** powder in it, so he asked, "What's in it?" What is it?"

  Sun Shiqi said with a smile.

   "Insect powder! Mutant yellow-fronted tall spider is dried and ground. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It is mainly used as fertilizer!"

  Chu Guang nodded in understanding.

   As fertilizer, that should be what Brown Farm wants. He hasn't started farming here yet, so he doesn't need this thing.

   But this gave him a way of thinking.

   Hearing from the players that there are a lot of struvite by the lake, maybe I can try to make some fertilizer and sell it to Brown Farm.

  At this time, Sun Shiqi suddenly remembered something, walked to the side of the two-headed cow, opened the leather package hanging on it, and took out a glass bottle from it.

  The mouth of the glass bottle is plugged with a cork, and some small holes are pierced on the cork for ventilation. The bottle is stuffed with ants the size of a fist, shaking their limbs and antennae visible to the naked eye, which looks quite creepy.

   Staring at the bottle with interest for a while, Chu Guang asked.

   "Is this the ironback ant?"

  Sun Shiqi said with a smile.

   "That's right! Usually we use it as feed, or other things. It happened that someone was selling it at the trading station, so I bought a bottle."

   After playing with the bottle for a while, Chu Guang looked at Sun Shiqi and asked.

"How much?"

  Sun Shiqi waved his hands repeatedly and said.

   "No, no, my friend, you have misunderstood. This is a gift from me, and you will not be charged."

   "Oh? Thanks then."

  Of course Chu Guang would not refuse this kind of good deed, and accepted the gift decisively.

   As for the gift in return?

nonexistent.

   Allowing this guy to do business with himself is already the greatest grace to him.

  Seeing Chu Guang accepting the gift, Sun Shiqi's face was full of smiles.

   "You're welcome, it's my honor to have your friendship... You see, it's getting late, why don't we talk about the details of the transaction?"

   Chu Guang nodded and only said one word.

"Can."

  …

  Different from the merchants from Boulder City, most of these merchants from other regions do not recognize the currency of chips. They either have their own currency, or they don't even have currency at all.

   Therefore, under normal circumstances, when conducting cross-regional trade, everyone is bartering, and there is no fixed "price".

  Although he received a gift symbolizing friendship from Sun Shiqi, friendship cannot be eaten after all. When bargaining, Chu Guang did not make any concessions in the face of favor.

joke.

  Who can be thicker than the salesman?

  The 500 kg coins are still at the price agreed last time, and every 100 kg is exchanged for 4 kg of air-dried meat, which is equivalent to 20 kg of air-dried meat.

  Chu Guang has always kept his word, and he has no intention of going back on the agreed things, and there is no need for that.

  The two sides happily reached a consensus.

   But the happy part only ends here.

  A few minutes ago, Sun Shiqi was so naive that he thought that the man in front of him was easy to talk to, until the man in front of him said a crazy saying "3 kg of air-dried meat for 1 kg of salt".

   "Sorry, did I hear you wrong... Maybe you said 1 catty?"

   The guy's reaction was completely expected, Chu Guang said unmoved.

   "You heard me right, I'm talking about 1 kg, 1 kg of coarse salt."

"This is impossible!"

  Sun Shiqi exclaimed almost reflexively, swept away the previous respect, and retorted angrily and argued vigorously.

   "You must be joking! The bacon you use here is baked and air-dried, and it has not been marinated at all. It cannot be worth the price!"

"oh?"

  Seeing that Chu Guang was still unmoved, Sun Shiqi took a deep breath and continued speaking in a calm tone.

   "Okay, you are not a businessman after all, maybe you don't understand the market... Let's settle the score. If I transport the 10 kilograms of coarse salt to Boulder City, I can exchange at least 1 chip for every 100 grams!"

   Chu Guang did not speak.

In fact, he has never been to Boulder City at all. He only knows that the sallow, bitter coarse salt that only the poor will consume, at the old leech on Beit Street, charges 2 points per 100g, and no accidents turn it over. doubled.

   But what does it matter?

  The price of grain has tripled for this old leech!

   There is no point in discussing prices in the wasteland.

   Moistened his dry throat, Sun Shiqi continued.

"100 chips! If I exchange these chips for electrical appliances, industrial products, and daily necessities to Brown Farm, I can get at least 300 kilograms of green wheat. If I replace these grains with bacon, it will cost at least 60-75 kilograms." It's reasonable."

   "So the lowest price I can accept is 60 kg, that is, 1 kg of salt for 6 kg of bacon! For the sake of our friendship... 59 kg, this is the lowest price I can accept!"

   "It's also my biggest concession!"

  Sun Shiqi felt that he had made the truth simple and clear enough.

  Even if these hamsters guarding the refuge haven't done business in the wasteland, they should be able to understand their "difficulties" to some extent.

  However, after listening to his nonsense, Chu Guang just smiled.

   One sentence he said was right.

  I am really not a businessman.

  If someone really sees him that way, then the structure is too small.

   But what if you think you don’t know how to trade?

hehe.

   "You are right."

  Sun Shiqi had a happy expression on his face.

  However, without waiting for a second, Chu Guang's next words froze the happy expression on his face.

   "...then my friend, why don't you?"

  Looking at this friend who came from afar with a smile on his face, Chu Guang said softly.

   "I mean, if you want to exchange 300 kilograms of green wheat with me for 59 kilograms of bacon, I can't accept it."
