Chapter 138 Bai Wei has nothing
Wanzu Continent, southeastern mountainous area, Yutao Kingdom.
Bai Wei's back armor was empty and her steps were heavy as she walked along the winding mountain road.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a peach forest.
Huang Tao raised his head.
"Master Bai Wei!" Hong Tao raised his head and exclaimed with joy. He dropped the tool in his claws and rushed out. Then he realized something was wrong.
"Master Bai Wei? Where is your cargo?"
"You——"
"Did it get robbed by the hateful beast tribe?"
"...No."
Bai Wei was frustrated and asked: "Hongtao, do you believe that I can earn the original stone?"
Hongtao said firmly: "Believe it!"
Bai Wei walked in without saying anything. Yuan Lin, asked: "Huang Tao, do you believe that I can get rich?"
"...Letter!" Huang Tao asked worriedly: "Bai Wei, what's the matter? What happened?"
Bai Wei untied the spider silk bag on her back, took out a metal can, placed it in front of Huang Tao, opened the lid, and revealed the golden nectar exuding the force of the Force.
"Huang Tao, try it."
"What is this?"
"...Force Honey."
"Honey? This is a fruity scent. Original Force honey doesn’t have such a strong smell of force.”
“Don’t worry, try it.”
Huang Tao stretched out his front feet and dipped a little to taste.
"A little bit of honey. But definitely not honey."
"It tastes good."
"A fusion of many kinds of Force food?"
Bai Wei: "Yes. The mutation ability of the mutated water queen bee can refine and mix fruits and force food to make this kind of force honey."
Bai Wei asked: "I pay 800 rough stones/can for purchase and 1,000 rough stones/can for sale. Huang Tao, do you think you can earn rough stones?"
Hongtao answered: "Earn 200 rough stones per can!"< br>
Huang Tao did not answer Bai Wei's question, and asked belatedly: "Where did this come from?"
Bai Wei: "That little ant king."
Huang Tao: "If stored like this, the force will slowly dissipate, right?"
Bai Wei: "It can be stored for more than a year."
Huang Tao: "What happened?"
Bai Wei: "Luo Chen said the risk is too great. It thinks I will definitely lose everything. I don’t agree with this business.”
Huang Tao: “Then your goods...”
Bai Wei: “We had a quarrel.”
Huang Tao: "Fighting?"
Bai Wei: "We are separated."
Bai Wei said sadly: "When we settled the accounts, all my goods were gone. I still owe Luo Li. 175,000 rough stones. I have been losing money. Unconsciously, I lost all the huge wealth Tianming left me. I also lost 175,000 rough stones..."
Bai Wei: "Huang Tao , am I too stupid and useless?”
Huang Tao: “…”
Hong Tao: "!!!"
I just heard Huang Tao say that Bai Wei Travel Merchant has been losing money. I never expected that it would lose so much!
Why did you lose so much?
The cheerful Hong Tao shrank behind Huang Tao knowingly.
Huang Tao Ning choked for a while and comforted: "Bai Wei, don't be discouraged. You didn't lose all these rough stones. You spent a lot on helping me evolve the Mountain Lord. You also spent a lot on your own growth and evolution. .”
Bai Wei: "I have been frugal."
Bai Wei said frustratedly: "I have always thought that when I earn rough stones, I will reward myself. But after so many years, I am only 3 years old Qi Shanzhu."
Huang Tao said with a conscience: "I think your losses are within the acceptable range. Luo Li is too stingy."
"Yes. "Yes...yes..."
Hongtao echoed cautiously.
Bai Wei said nothing.
On the way here, I had already scolded Luo Li ten thousand times in my heart.
But calm down and think about it, after all these years, if Luo Li had not taken care of him, he would have collapsed long ago... In fact, he has already gone bankrupt once.
Huang Tao wanted to change the topic and talk about something happy, but seeing Bai Wei's current situation, it seemed that there was nothing happy to talk about, and there was a tragic topic that could not be avoided.
"Bai Wei, have you and Luo Li separated?"
"Yes."
"Then...the little flame spider of your caravan..."
"Hubou is a 7-year-old advanced flame spider warrior, and Caolong is also a 2-year-old advanced warrior. , they want to try to travel independently."
Huang Tao: "Oh——"
Bai Wei said dejectedly: "But as an elder, I have nothing and can't give them anything."
Huang Tao: "..."
Huang Tao thought and thought, but she really couldn't think of how to comfort the other person, and she was worried.
The Flame Spider cannot sow life seeds, manage territory, or harvest Force food. Flame Spiders can only obtain the Force food needed for growth and evolution through traveling trade.
Looking at Bai Wei's empty back, now she doesn't even have much trading capital at the end.
"Bai Wei, what will you do in the future?"
"What else can we do?"
"What are your plans?"
"I'm thinking about it."
Huang Tao pointed to the metal can on the ground and asked, "Is this made by the ant king in Yunji Continent?"
Bai Wei: "Yes. I think I can make a fortune by selling it, but Luo Li doesn't think so."
Bai Wei said firmly: "I still think this is an opportunity to turn around!"
Huang Tao: "..."
Huang Tao was choked and speechless.
Huang Tao is not a flame spider, and he doesn’t know much about traveling trade, so he doesn’t know what to say for a while.
Hong Tao tiptoed forward, dipped some Force Ant Honey in the jar with her tentacles, held the tentacles with her front feet, and tasted, "It's delicious!"
Huang Tao thought and analyzed, and said: "But one year The storage time is really too short. It takes you half a year to transport it back from Wanguo Continent, so there is only half a year left to sell such goods. If the quantity is large, it will be bad if it cannot be sold in time. Just..."
Maybe Luo Li is right.
Huang Tao didn’t dare to say.
Bai Wei added helpfully: "Even if it is sold, if it is not eaten in time, quality problems will occur."
Do you also know that the problem is serious? Huang Tao shook her tentacles vigorously in agreement.
The red peach stretched out two tentacles, dipped it in the ant honey, licked it, and made a squeaking sound. I couldn't help but praise:
"It's so delicious!"
"Hongtao! We are discussing business! You just know how to eat." Huang Tao scolded.
"Let me try..."
Hong Tao quickly licked the tentacles clean and said seriously: "Because the storage time is too short, there is a risk in this 'Force Honey' transaction, right?"
Neither Bai Wei nor Huang Tao Pay attention.
Hong Tao: "Can't we just find a way to extend the storage time?"
Bai Wei: "I'm thinking about it too."
Hong Tao: "Why is there only one Years of storage time?”
Huang Tao: "Because there is a gap between the jar and the lid, the force will be lost along the gap. Once the force loss exceeds a certain amount, the force ant honey in the jar will deteriorate and the quality will decline."
Hong Tao: "What about the threaded jar made last year?"
Huang Tao: "I'm afraid it won't work either. If the jar can be separated from the lid, there must be a gap. As long as there is a gap, no matter how small it is, the force will will be lost."
Enter the technical discussion, Bai Wei calmed down and asked: "Huang Tao, Hong Tao, you can help find a way... Think of a way to perfectly combine the jar and the lid, and combine the force. A way to seal it."
Huang Tao: "I can activate the metal power to seal it, but the lid cannot be opened."
Hong Tao: "I have a way!"
Huang Tao said angrily: "Hong Tao, just go and play!"
Bai Wei asked: "Hong Tao, what can I do?"
Hong Tao: "Master Bai Wei, when I was very young, didn't you give me a kind of royal jelly? It only needs a clay pot to be preserved, and the force will not be lost."
Bai Wei: "Yes. It can be brewed by very few bees with water-based abilities, and it is brewed by collecting pollen and nectar from God-given seeds. Royal jelly is as stable as original stone and will not deteriorate after being stored for 10,000 years. .”
Huang Tao suddenly understood what Hong Tao meant. He tapped his tentacles lightly, pointed at the metal can, and said: "Spread a layer of royal jelly on the surface to seal the Force."
Huang Tao finished speaking. , and then said: "But the cost of doing this is too high, right? Bai Wei, I remember the small bottle of queen honey last time. You said it cost 3,000 rough stones?"
Bai Wei, who was just a little happy Lost again, he sighed: "Yes, it is one of the most delicious and expensive force foods in the mainland. If it is packaged with royal jelly, the cost will double. The original 1,000/can of force honey must be sold for at least 2,000 raw stones. If you don’t, then no one is willing to buy it.”
Royal jelly is just rare and delicious, and has no special strengthening effect. The queen bee who brewed the royal jelly may not be willing to eat it.
This is a luxury product that very few rich people are willing to buy, and it is specially used to entertain distinguished guests and show their strength, financial resources and status.
"This method won't work. This will only make the loss worse." Huang Tao shook his tentacles vigorously and rejected the proposal.
“You are all wrong!”
The red peach tentacles pointed at the mouth of the metal can and said: “What I mean is, put a little on the mouth of the metal can with thread design. Royal jelly, and then twist it repeatedly to seal the thread gap between the jar mouth and the lid. "
Hong Tao asked: "That way, only a small amount is enough?"
Huang Tao: "!!!"
The yellow peach antennae are vertical.
Bai Wei jumped, "Yes!"
It's a clever method that is not difficult to understand.
After thinking about it for a while, I felt it was feasible.
Bai Wei jumped up with joy.
A word can wake up the worm in the dream, clear the fog and see the colorful clouds.
"Little Hongtao, you are really a very smart mantis!"
"When I get rich later, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
"No. , I can make a fortune with you!"
Hongtao cheered: "Okay! Thank you, Master Bai Wei, you will definitely make a fortune!" >
Huang Tao: "..."
Huang Tao, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
