Chapter 14 The Values of Nobles
“You said Jinglingmu.”
Hearing Brand talk about Jinglingmu, Andy looked a little embarrassed: “That is indeed where we are. A specialty, but the output is very low."
Before Andy finished speaking, another voice interrupted him.
"Brand, I have a piece of Jingling wood heart that has not been processed recently. I am very interested in the seasoning in your hand. Let's exchange it!"
Brand turned his head and looked over. It was Finn Chesire, the eldest son of an earl family who belonged to the same Northland province as Andy.
Unlike Brand and Andy's "thin" bodies, Finn's body is relatively strong.
If an uninformed person looked over, they might think he was a knight rather than a mage.
If Brand remembers correctly, the territories of the Cecil family and the Claude family are quite close to each other.
Because the family businesses have many overlaps, the two families often have some conflicts, but sometimes they unite because of common interests.
Complex relationships between families are often mapped onto the descendants of the family.
You can tell by looking at their current expressions. Now Andy is looking at Finn with a hostile look, and Finn is looking back at him provocatively.
“Cough.”
Brand’s slight cough drew both of their attention.
Then he said: "Because the production is limited, my share in the past two years is only so much."
Pointing to the bottles of condiments on the table, Brand continued with a smile:
"So if you two want it, the one with the highest price will get it."
Andy Looking back at Brand, his eyes became incredulous again.
The boat of our friendship has capsized?
After hearing Brand's words, Finn also looked a little shocked.
He admitted that he had indeed had thoughts of drawing in and alienating each other just now.
But it was so damn smooth.
Even the feelings of plastic friends are not so fragile!
Brand smiled and said nothing at the shock of the two.
Nobles, as long as no interests are involved, they are all brothers and sisters.
But once things involve interests, everything in the past can be just a joke.
It seems that the two heirs of the earl family are not mature enough.
Of course, it is also very possible that he is acting more realistically.
When you see Brand, it depends on which one of you bids the higher price.
Andy calmed down and argued:
"Brand, maybe the output of these seasonings is as low as you said, but the production of Jingling wood is also rare.
Moreover, seasonings are consumables, but Jingling wood is not. Even if you use it, Even after a hundred years, the effectiveness of the Silent Spirit Wood will not be reduced by half, so direct exchange is not equal, you have to make up for it with some magic gold coins."
Brand shook his head and retorted:
“Andy, although the output of Jingling Wood is not high, it has been around for so many years, right?
Who is a respectable noble family in the empire who doesn’t have a few pieces in his collection?
< br>
My dad also has two pieces of jewelry made of Jingling wood in his collection.
Its market has long been approaching saturation.
So compared to the cherished spices in my hand, the Jingling wood that has been prevalent for a long time is not a new thing. I just want to add some personal collections. ”
Brand didn’t know whether Mr. Hollander had any Jingling wood ornaments in his collection. After all, Mr. Hollander had never shown his collection to Brand and Yersin. .
However, this does not prevent Brand from bluffing here
At this time, Finn also spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Andy was exposed:
"Andy, this is your fault! Isn't it just a quiet tree? How can you be with Holander? The family’s new products are on par! Don’t think I don’t know that the bed and pillows you sleep on in your dormitory are made of the heart of the Jingling tree.”
At this point, Finn took out a piece of wood. He threw the foot-long piece of white wood directly to Brand boldly and said:
"Brand, this broken piece of wood is given to you directly. Just sprinkle some seasoning on my food!" After receiving Fen After receiving the Quiet Spirit Wood thrown by En, Brand obviously felt more mentally active.
Meditate in this state. The efficiency will indeed be higher.
In response, Brand nodded with satisfaction.
"In exchange, these spices will be given to you."
Throwing the spices on the table to Finn, Brand ignored Andy who looked ugly and continued to enjoy the extraordinary The deliciousness of the ingredients.
Finn, on his side, followed Brand's example and sprinkled the food on his plate with seasonings.
He couldn't wait to taste a few mouthfuls, and then his face showed an intoxicated look.
Smelling the alluring fragrance of the seasoned food, and seeing Finn so intoxicated, Andy felt his saliva secretion begin to accelerate.
He really wanted Finn to share something with him, but because of his face, he couldn't say it directly, so he had to keep signaling with his eyes.
Finn, who had been devouring the food for a long time, "finally" noticed Andy's eyes, and then "behind the scenes" he threw a few bottles of condiments at Andy, without any sign of the tit-for-tat confrontation before. .
Seeing this, Brand curled his lips knowingly, these two guys were indeed having an affair.
At this time, Finn turned his attention to Brand again:
"Speaking of Brand, how much does your seasoning cost? I am going to purchase a batch on behalf of the Cecil family."
< br>After trying a few bites, Andy was not to be outdone: "The Claude family is willing to establish a long-term trade relationship with the Holland family about this seasoning."
Looking at the sincere eyes of the two people, Brand took a napkin and wiped his mouth, then slowly said:
"Didn't I say that? The output is very low, at least for now, there is no possibility of mass production."
< br>
"Are you serious?"
Originally Andy and Finn thought Brand's previous remarks were just to raise the price of spices.
Just like Andy bragging about the value of Jingling Wood.
As aristocrats of the ruling class, many things that seem extremely precious to ordinary people have only that much value in their eyes.
In fact, after experiencing the deliciousness of the seasoning firsthand, they have already recognized the value of the seasoning.
So even if Brand raises the price a little, they are not unacceptable.
Magic gold coins and the like are just for use.
In the eyes of the nobles, any problem that can be solved with magic gold coins is not a problem!
But judging from Brand’s appearance, this condiment may indeed be a rare item with extremely low production.
Looking at the condiments in his hand, Andy's eyes were very hot.
Jingling wood?
There are so many things that can be used as furniture, how can this thing be as good as this!
Pop!
While Andy was stunned, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared and snatched the "precious" spice from Andy's hand with lightning speed.
Andy's face darkened and his eyes turned to the owner of the big hand.
Seeing Andy glaring over, Finn's face was filled with confusion.
His big hands are now empty.
As if he didn’t know where Andy’s anger came from.
Seasoning?
What seasoning?
Where's the seasoning?
Brand, who was standing on the third side, could see clearly that the spices had been put into the magic pocket carried by Finn.
He even tied a knot at the mouth of the bag at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see.
Such a speed is completely beyond the reach of an ordinary person!
