Quick Pass: Start a grocery store

Chapter 494. 494. The Ocean: The Lost Era
"This is what the boss said, something that can help?" You Xin frowned, looking at this small pearl that was about the size of a pearl and looked like a pearl.

"Yes, the boss said it's water avoiding beads." Tang Yue simply explained the function of water avoiding beads.

While explaining, she saw You Xin took a water-proof bead with great interest and put it on her body.

A bad premonition rose in Tang Yue's heart inexplicably.

"Tang Yue! Let's try the effect of this water-proof bead!"

"..." He knew it.

In the end, they tried, but they tried it closer to shore.

As the introduction said, after entering the water with the water-repelling beads, a transparent film appeared around the body. It looked like blowing bubbles when they were young, except that they were in the 'bubble' among.

And this is the waterproof membrane.

In the waterproof membrane, their limbs are not restricted in any way, and their breathing is very smooth. Even people who cannot swim can move freely in this waterproof membrane.

And they also found the good news that they can use the communicator inside the waterproof membrane.

In other words, there is no need to worry about not being able to communicate and deliver messages. The people above can always know the situation on the bottom of the sea, and the people on the bottom of the sea can call for rescue at any time when the situation is wrong.

The only downside is that the energy is consumed too quickly, and it needs to be replenished almost every time it is used.

An energy body that can support the consumption of a water purifier for half a day can only support the consumption of the water-repelling beads for about three hours. If pearls are used, then one pearl can only support the consumption of the water-repelling beads for 10 minutes.

After all the calculations, the energy body is the most cost-effective. No wonder it is said that the charging effect is twice that of pearls, which is true.

The only pity is that this batch of water-avoiding beads only bought ten, if you really want to find out, you have to prepare at least a hundred.

One part is used for launching, one part is kept on the body as a spare, in case of special circumstances, and the other part is reserved for the people on board, so that they can go down to support at any time...

However, it was a good idea.

I thought that there would not be many people snatching water-avoiding beads, but in the end, the other nobles went crazy for some reason. Seeing the water-avoiding beads was like a cat seeing a mouse, and everyone was extremely excited.

If it weren't for the fact that the price was really expensive, they might have to empty out all the water-repellent beads.

Su Mo was a little puzzled about this at first, until she found out that many of these nobles, like You Xin, had actually found the 'treasure'.

It's just that I have been suffering from no way to explore, and I am afraid that others will take the lead, so I have been silent.

And it's not hard to understand why they didn't seek Su Mo's help like You Xin did. After all, You Xin cooperated with her, and trust is natural.

But although these nobles had thought of asking Su Mo for help, they couldn't open their mouths because they were worried that she would leak the treasure to You Xin.

In the end, no one expected that so many nobles would discover the treasure they thought was unique.

And not only on Sea Whale Island, but even on the Sand Islands where a branch was opened at the latest, there are more than a dozen nobles who claim to have found the treasure.

Although Su Mo didn't know how they decided that it was a treasure, it didn't affect her making money.

……

In addition to avoiding water drops, the appearance of wine also aroused everyone's interest.

In order to reflect their status, even aristocrats who don't drink alcohol will buy some wine to keep at home. Whether it is used as a gift, a treat, or for their own use, it is a good choice.

As for ordinary people, anyone who sailed with the fleet on the fish demon sunrise, or was hired to go fishing, made a lot of money during this period.

For them now, canned fruit and wine worth thirty pearls was not an unacceptable price. With the money on their body, they could buy canned food once or twice a week and improve their lives, which was more than enough.

In addition, the sales of soap are slowly rising.

Anyway, they are all enjoying life, and there is nothing more comfortable than taking a hot bath after coming back from a dirty body.

Although the price of fresh water is now cheaper, it will not affect the sales of soap.

Ordinary people usually use about [-] liters of water for bathing. If you buy fresh water for bathing, you will spend four pearls for one bath.

And a soap only sells [-] pearls, which can decompose about [-] liters of seawater, which is equivalent to spending only one pearl for a bath.

Most importantly, the soap smells good.

It may be unbelievable to say that the smell and ingredients of this soap can actually relieve fatigue and calm the nerves. Although the effect is not obvious, it is better than nothing.

The business of the grocery store is getting better and better, and the life of humans on this plane is also getting better and better.

Three days passed, and at the same time that Su Mo had collected [-] purple pearls, the first fleet with the 'treasure' returned smoothly.

According to them, they discovered a sunken ship while exploring the seabed.

And the things they brought back were all found from the sunken ship.

It's a pity that most of the things have been damaged due to the immersion and corrosion of seawater, and the things that can be left are basically well-protected things during transportation.

For example, a few pieces of cloth with exquisite and beautiful patterns, a pack of dark green leaves, and a pack of herbs whose names I don't recognize...

Although these harvests look fresh, they are actually not as attractive as everyone imagined.

After all, in everyone's opinion, treasures should be expensive and gorgeous gold and silver jewelry, or boxes of precious emerald pearls—not a few pieces of cloth, a few leaves, or a few herbs that are the same as tree roots...

Of course, there are valuable things in it, but there are still too few of them compared to what they imagined.

What they don't know is that the cloth is called silk, the leaves have another name of tea, and the root-like herb has a scientific name of ginseng...

This is a fleet that traded a long time ago, when the plate was not divided, by transporting a series of commodities such as silk, tea, and ginseng.

In addition, the fleets sent by other nobles to salvage and return have also returned one after another.

Their expressions were different. After all, no one could have imagined that they were full of expectations, and the things they salvaged after so much effort were so ordinary. Although they were not considered losses, they did not make too much.

But...is this really normal?

These things are actually an entire era lost by mankind...

……

This plane used to be a perfect plane. Although there are not many continental plates, it does not mean that there are no. Humans do not need to hide on three small islands.
