Chapter 14 The Values of Nobles
"You are talking about Jingling Wood."
Hearing Brand talk about Jingling Wood, Andy looked a little embarrassed: "It is indeed a specialty of our place, but the output is very low."
Andy still said Before he 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
. Finn Chesire, the eldest son of an earl family from the same Northland province as Andy.
Unlike Brand and Andy, who are "thin" in stature, Finn's stature 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 there are many overlaps in family businesses, 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, while Finn is looking provocatively back.
"Ahem."
Brand coughed slightly, drawing their attention to each other.
Then he said: "Because the production is limited, my share in the past two years is only this much."
Pointing to a few bottles of condiments on the table, Brand continued with a smile:
"So if you two want it, , The one with the highest bid gets it."
Andy looked back at Brand, his eyes once again becoming incredulous.
Has the boat of our friendship 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!
In response to the shock of the two people, Brand smiled and said nothing.
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's also very possible that the person is acting more realistically.
When you see Brand, it depends on who bids the higher price.
Andy calmed down and argued:
"Brand, maybe the output of these seasonings is as low as you said, but the output of Jingling wood is equally rare.
Moreover, seasonings are consumables, but Jingling wood is not. , even if it is used for hundreds of years, the efficacy of Silent Spirit Wood will not decrease by half! So direct exchange is not equal, you have to make up for 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?
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 seasonings I cherish, the Jingling wood that has been rampant for a long time is nothing new. I just want to add some collections to my personal collection." Mr.
Holland Brand didn't know whether there were any Jingling wood ornaments in his collection. After all, Mr. Holland 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 revealed Andy's background as soon as he opened his mouth:
"Andy, this is your fault! Isn't it just a Jingling Wood? How can it be compared with the new product of the Holland family! Don't think I don't know. The bed and pillows you sleep in in your dormitory are made of the heart of the Jingling tree."
Having said this, Finn took out a foot-long piece of white wood and threw it directly to Bu. Rand then said:
"Brand, this piece of wood is given to you directly. Just sprinkle some seasoning on my food!"
After receiving the Silent Spirit Wood thrown by Finn, Brand obviously felt mentally active. Some.
Meditate in this state. The efficiency will indeed be higher.
In response, Brand nodded with satisfaction.
"In exchange, I'll give you these spices."
Throwing the spices on the table to Finn, Brand ignored Andy who looked ugly and continued to enjoy the deliciousness of the extraordinary 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 begin to secrete faster.
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 gobbling for a while, "finally" noticed Andy's eyes, and then "behind the scenes" he threw a few bottles of condiments at Andy, without any hint 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:
"Brand, how much is the price of your seasoning? I am going to purchase a batch on behalf of the Cecil family."
Andy tried a few bites and was not to be outdone. : "The Claude family is willing to establish a long-term trade relationship with the Holland family regarding this seasoning."
Looking at the sincere eyes of the two people, Brand took a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then slowly said:
" Didn't you say that? The output is very low, at least for now, there is no possibility of mass production."
"Are you serious?"
Andy and Finn originally thought that Brand's previous remarks were just to increase the seasoning. Just the price.
Just like Andy bragging about the value of Jingling Wood.
As nobles of the ruling class, many things that ordinary people seem to be extremely precious 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 unfailing appearance, this seasoning 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!
Snapped!
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 turned dark and his eyes turned to the owner of the big hand.
Seeing Andy glaring over, Finn's face was filled with confusion.
His large hands were now empty.
It was 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 condiments 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 speed is completely beyond the reach of an ordinary person!
