Lord of the Oasis

Chapter 30: . Dates in exchange for barley

     In the face of Kant, these caravan members were quite respectful and not half rude.

In their subconscious mind, Kant is equal to the high nobles of the mainland of Kaladea, even if they are Swadians, but for the nobles of their kingdom of Vecchia, they must be treated with high standards of etiquette, not to mention the civilians. ?

   "Well." Kant just nodded, his expression unchanged.

   This is a noble identity arranged systematically.

   looked back, the three carriages of the caravan were all neatly bundled, and they looked at the full load of goods.

   "It's a pity."

   Kant sighed slightly.

   He did not have the dinar to buy these goods.

   "Adult, these are the special products we brought in Zhivading."

  The caravan leader laughed and explained: "Our caravan sells wool at a very low price, but also has tools, pig iron, linen, including air-dried meat, smoked fish, wheat and other foods."

   paused, he continued: "Of course, we also buy specialty products."

   "Acquisition of specialty products?"

   Kant frowned slightly: "How to buy?"

   This made him a little curious.

   Before this caravan arrived, he really didn't know that he could still sell something to them.

   "Yes, we will buy something at the same time."

The caravan leader glanced sideways at the ruling hall of Dekhrim, and his eyes swept over the grocery store, and said with some emotion: "I see the shop that is free, lord, if you don't mind, think Let my team members move the goods over and we will stay here for 1 week."

   "Well." Kant nodded: "You can arrange whatever you want this week."

   He answered with pleasure.

  After all, I don’t have money in my hands and I can’t buy anything.

   "Master Lord, I am so grateful."

   This caravan leader is very grateful and quickly bowed down to thank him.

   At the same time, the mercenary sentries behind them hurriedly drove past, leaving deep rut marks on the sand. Obviously, the load on their three carriages was not low.

   Kant knew in his heart.

   Caravans on the mainland of Caladea basically have fixed trade routes.

  In the city of Shanglu, buy at a low price, sell at a high price, or accumulate supplies to return to your city.

   is a basic business routine.

   "This is my place, and there is nothing to buy."

   Kant smiled secretly.

   "Dekhrim" is called this name, but it is not comparable to the real "Dekhrim" of the continent.

  A small village in the district, unable to achieve food self-sufficiency, and want to develop business, it is too whimsical, even with systematic help.

   But Kant let them go.

  For the current sentinel oasis, it is also very good to add some popularity.

   shrugged, Kant laughed at himself: "At least no need to feel, just like being abandoned by the world."

   Return to normal.

   Kant walked towards the ruling hall, he had a few plans for special tasks.

   Return to the ruling hall.

   Just sat down, and the Swadian militiaman, who was in charge of the ruling hall, walked in with the iron spear on his arm, and respectfully reported: "Master, Lord of the caravan wants to see you."

  The ruling hall is not for anyone who wants to enter.

   "Let him come in."

   Kant nodded, apparently also saw the caravan leader who was waiting outside the door.

   This caravan leader is about 40 years old, and the two temples have a little white hair, but they still look energetic. Obviously they can lead a caravan in a city alone, and they are not ordinary people.

   In fact, these caravan leaders are generally served after the top soldiers retired.

  Although only equipped with inlaid leather armor and Germanic sword, but the proficiency of weapons and riding skills are comparable to the Swadian knight.

   But in front of Kant, he was extremely obedient.

   stooped and bowed his head, said: "Lord Lord, I took the liberty to disturb."

   "Alright, I am not busy now."

  Kant looked at the caravan leader and asked quietly, "Is there anything?"

  The caravan leader replied respectfully: "My lord, I think your village seems to have date palm trees? If your production is abundant, we can buy some dates."

   "Acquisition of date palm?" Kant was shocked.

  The caravan leader nodded affirmatively: "Yes, sir, date palm is a specialty of the Sultan of Sarand. It tastes sweet, and sales in other countries are not bad."

   "Of course, yes." Kant immediately nodded.

   Date palms he received more than a dozen rattan baskets last week. Although they ate some these days, it is no problem to have ten rattan baskets.

   But Kant frowned slightly and asked, "Is it the dinar?"

   He said the acquisition currency is naturally dinar.

   This is the only currency recognized by the system.

"of course."

And the caravan leader nodded, with a strange look on his face: "Adult, do you want to exchange dates for some commodities? We may also exchange for goods, of course, the price still has to be offset by the value of the goods. ."

   Kant's face was dazed.

   But still reacted and said directly: "No, no, just settle in dinars."

   "Follow your arrangement." The caravan leader is a little unclear.

   Of course he did not know that Kant now thought about the dinar, and his head was a little dizzy. He wanted to go directly to the jackal's tribe and these fierce primitive creatures.

   Without dinars, you can't do anything!

   "Come here."

   Kant arranged to the militiamen waiting at the door: "Take our friends to the warehouse to see our dried dates."

   The militia nodded: "Understood."

   The caravan leader also apologized and followed the militia towards the storage room beside the ruling hall, where dozens of date palms were stacked in the rattan baskets, which had been dried in the previous good weather.

  The date they often say is actually the finished product after drying.

  Fresh dates are not suitable for storage, or dried dates are most convenient for storage and carrying in the desert climate.

   And the dried dates are dried to make them sweeter.

   Soon, the caravan leader came out, chewed a date palm in his mouth, and also had an intoxicated look on his face: "Adult, the texture of these date palms is really good."

   "High-quality dates." Kant nodded, his mouth also smiling.

  He is very careful.

The date palm produced by    system is definitely a fine product.

   "This is indeed very good."

   And the caravan leader swallowed the dates and looked at Kant respectfully: "If you want, I can charge them at the price of 50 dinars per basket."

   "50 dinars?" Kant frowned slightly.

   10 baskets of dates, only to get 500 dinars.

   This is the result of most of the 20 date palm trees, weighing thousands of pounds!

The caravan leader shrugged slightly and said helplessly on his face: "Adult, the date palm is delicious, but it is not a necessity. In fact, many people eat this kind of food as dessert, so the price will be so high. ~www.readwn.com~ Suddenly, the caravan leader continued: "If the dates are of poor quality, we will not give the price of 50 dinars at all. "

   "Okay, just the price you said."

   Kant's face was calm, as if there were no exceptions.

   But in my heart, it's really bitter, and this businessman is really not profitable.

  If it is not that there is no choice, Kant really does not want to sell his dates.

   can still be used as a food reserve after all.

   "You are a wise decision." The caravan leader flattered.

   Kant smiled lightly: "Perhaps."

The lack of dinar is his biggest problem at present. In order to maintain his troops, he can only choose to sell these dates, after all, compared to bread, these dates are actually not too full for the stomach, although Very nutritious.

   But Kant seemed to think of something, and asked the caravan leader: "There is barley in your goods?"

   "Yes, there is barley."

  The caravan leader replied: "50 dinars per bag, you can choose to sow or grind it into flour."

   "Give me a bag." Kant nodded and said, "I plan to sow."

   "In this case, I can select the best bag for you."

   smiled, the caravan leader said: "However, in the desert oasis, you need to add water in time when planting barley, otherwise the hot weather will burn your young barley seedlings."

   "Thank you for your reminder." Kant smiled.

  The farmers of Swadia also understand.

  The ponds excavated in advance, and the silt cleaned out, can also be used as fertilizer for barley.

   kill two birds with one stone.
