Chapter 189： Saltpeter mine

"Narant, what are you looking at?" At this moment, Rael over there finally negotiated the price. Boris saw Narant talking to the middle-aged man in front of the shop, and immediately left curiously. come over.

"It's nothing, just seeing the ore of a yellow elf, I'm a little curious!"

"What ore?" Boris also came closer.

"My lord, this is white crystal ore!" The middle-aged man spoke again.

"Bah! Who are you fooling his grandmother, how could this be crystal ore, where can there be such a fine crystal ore! Narant, don't be deceived!" Boris, the nobleman, has no good temper with outsiders , and immediately snorted.

"Sir, you can't talk nonsense, this is really a white crystal mine, but it's a bit special, the crystal is a little smaller, so my family let it be sold, and it only requires fifty gold coins!"

"Fifty gold coins are left. It is estimated that this is an unknown ore that looks like a white crystal, but is useless, right? Even ten gold coins are estimated that no one will buy it, Narant, let's go!" Such a thing Bao Bao Reese has seen a lot, and some ores that have never been seen before are sold as similar mines, and selling them is a big profit.

"Boris, I think it might be a crystal!" Narant did not leave with Boris.

"This lord is right, it's originally a white crystal! Your lord, you trust me so much, if you're willing to buy it! This lord of the white crystal mine will sell you forty-eight gold coins!" Open your mouth.

"Narant"

Boris wanted to say something, but Narant said, "Boris, if I want to do a perfume business, I need a fine perfume bottle, so I'm going to embellish the perfume bottle with tiny crystals!"

"Although this mine doesn't look like a real crystal, I'm still going to gamble!"

Boris opened his mouth when he heard the words, but in the end he chose not to say anything. Narant said so, so he had nothing to say.

"This yellow elf, I really want to buy it, but the price is too expensive!" Boris didn't say a word, and Narant looked at the middle-aged man.

"How much do you think is suitable, sir!" The middle-aged man smiled and looked forward to it.

"Ten gold coins!"

"" Middle-aged man.

"Sir, this is too low!" After a while, the middle-aged man said with a bitter face.

"I originally wanted to make a bet. If my friend said it right, if it's really not a white crystal, then the ten gold coins will probably go to waste! So are you willing to sell it?" face of course.

"Sorry, my lord, this price is impossible!"

"Oh, then forget it! I don't have many gold coins on me!" Narant shook his head disappointedly when he heard the words.

"Let's go, Narant!" Seeing this, Boris breathed a sigh of relief. If he really bought it, the ten gold coins would probably go to waste.

The middle-aged man with the sharp-mouthed monkey gills saw that Narant had really left, but his face was entangled.

Of course, this is not a white crystal. His lord has already tested it.

Although this ore particle is transparent, it is not strong at all, and it will shatter or turn into white powder if it is polished casually.

This time, I specially brought Tulip City to sell it as a white crystal, just to try and run away. Anyway, they are not from the Tulip Earl.

However, it is obvious that the nobles are not fools, and it is not easy to get a hold of one. The young man just now was the only noble who was willing to bargain.

It's just that the price is too low. After ten gold coins were sold, the yellow elf had only received it for a month, and it was a loss to the lord's grandmother's house.

When the middle-aged man was struggling, Narant over there was talking and laughing with Rael and the others and was about to leave.

Rael finally bought the green elf with a nine-year utility for seventy-five gold coins. The one-year utility of the green elf is nearly equal to more than eight gold coins.

"Sir, if you really want it, add a little more, twenty gold coins! My lord is in urgent need of money, and I can sell it to you as long as twenty gold coins!" The middle-aged man saw that Narant actually left, Shouted unhappily.

"Fifteen gold coins, this is my highest price, and I'm also betting, in case you are a liar, my fifteen gold coins will be washed away!" Narant hesitated for a moment, then gave out Highest price!

"This white crystal is real, but let's make a deal! I'm still in a hurry to send the money back to the lord." The middle-aged man agreed painfully.

At this moment, the acting skills of both parties reached their peak. Although they were a bit exaggerated, they both felt that they had achieved their goals.

The next thing is very simple, the two sides completed the contract replacement of the elf in person.

After confirming the validity of the elf, Narant handed over fifteen gold coins to the middle-aged man.

"Boss, since the transaction is completed, I will take the ore too!" Before leaving, Narant did not forget to take the ore as a sample.

"Okay, I still have a small box here, I'll give it to you!" The middle-aged man saw that Narant paid the money so readily, and he didn't know if he felt guilty for cheating, and even took out a wooden box from the side. The box contains the same ore.

"Thank you so much!" Narant accepted it unceremoniously.

Let the guards bring the wooden box, and then Narant and the others headed straight out of the market

On the way, Boris looked at Narant and shook his head, and Rael had already heard Boris's retelling, and the expression when he looked at Narant was also a little weird.

Of course, Narant couldn't explain it to the two of them, because this ore was a bit special.

Through his past life memory, he basically confirmed that this is the saltpeter mine.

That's right, it was the saltpeter mine that Thomas had never heard of when he excitedly asked Thomas last time.

Saltpeter: Colorless, white or gray crystals, with vitreous luster, white powder, easily soluble in water, bitter and cold in taste, this is one of the main components of black powder made by the army of travelers.

Although gunpowder is not very useful in this fantasy world, saltpeter ore is a must for travelers. Since Narant has encountered it, it is good even if it is only used for collection.

Moreover, in addition to making gunpowder, he remembered that the saltpeter could be used to make ice. For him without a refrigerator and air conditioner, the value of saltpeter was much higher than fifteen gold coins.

Previously, the middle-aged man thought that he had made a lot of money and cheated Narant's money, but how could he know that even if he did not drop a penny, Narant would find a way to pool the money to buy the elf.

In this way, the three of them walked all the way back to the castle, but just as they passed the Tulip Plaza, Boris pointed to a manor beside him and said to Narant: "Narant, look, there is Orr there. One of Ding's industries!"

Narant followed his gaze, but saw that there were many people lining up at the entrance of the small manor.

"Why so many people?" Narant was a little surprised.

Did Alding make the perfume business to this point?

"Because of the ice cubes! Narant, didn't I say that there are ice cubes in Aldin's most lucrative business!"

"Although the title of the Tulip family was inherited by the earl, the old earl also loved Alding very much. He specially reserved a lot of manor properties for him in the city, and also built an ice cellar for him, so every summer Austrian Erding can make a lot of money off of ice!" Boris explained.

"Really! What a coincidence! Haha!" Nalanda nodded with a meaningful smile on his face!
