The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

Hughes looked a little embarrassed.

After all, what he just did was not a good thing!

In the words of William's previous life, it was spying on business intelligence.

Hughes could tell at a glance that the red clay stove had no technical content, and any potter could make it, and the focus was on briquettes.

This thing is very similar to a black stone, but the black stone is not so regular.

Moreover, there will be thick smoke when the black stone burns, but this briquette does not.

So Hughes wasn't sure.

If he can know how to make briquettes, then Hughes can guarantee that his caravan can definitely expand several times in size.

But the vigilance of the people in Nisai Town is not low.

This is the old John who gave Hughes a dissatisfied look, and said lightly, The formula for making briquettes is a top secret in our town, Hughes, don't ask about it! Even I don't know! You should focus on other things side.

You misunderstood! At this time, Hughes would definitely not admit it.

Old John snorted, and then said without hesitation, Both the red clay stove and the briquette can be sold. The price of the red clay stove is one silver coin, while the price of the briquette is five copper coins.

Mr. Hughes, are you interested?

Whether it is a red clay stove or honeycomb coal, the price is more expensive than what William sold to the villagers.

After thinking about it in his heart, Hughes raised his head and said affirmatively, Of course! I am very grateful to the baron for giving me the opportunity. How could I give up? I want one red clay stove, oh, no, ten! For briquettes, give me a thousand first. Will you, sir John?

Ten red clay stoves cost three gold piss, and a thousand briquettes cost five piss.

In total, there are eight Pis gold coins.

After Hughes finished speaking, he looked at Old John anxiously, for fear that he would refuse.

No problem. Old John's words made Hughes feel relieved.

Originally, he only had one idea about the red clay stove, and he would ask the potters to imitate it when he went back, but thinking of Baron Dikas, he quickly changed his mind so as not to cause the other party's displeasure.

Old John was also happy.

William attached great importance to this matter, and the eight gold piss were a good start.

Therefore, Old John rarely showed a smile, and greeted Hughes, The sweet porridge has become cold, you can drink it!

Hughes naturally had objections, picked up the sweet porridge and drank it.

The sweetness radiated from the taste buds, and Hughes felt sweet in his heart.

Hughes couldn't help but drank it in one gulp, and he was a little reluctant to put down the clay bowl, because it was really sweet.

Hughes immediately remembered its business opportunity, and asked Old John, Master John, how do you sell this sweet powder?

Sweet powder is not for sale! Old John flatly refused. William said that unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not sell sweet powder.

Seeing that Hughes was so interested in the honeycomb, Old John had the confidence to reject Hughes' request.

Disappointment was inevitable on Hughes' face, but it was fleeting.

Old John noticed this, and said, Mr. Hughes, I have a product here. I wonder if you are interested?

What? Hughes cheered up.

Salt! Old John said loudly.

Oh, salt. Hughes said casually, his mind was still on the sweet powder, but the next second, Hughes reacted suddenly, his eyes widened, he looked at Old John, and said in disbelief, John Sir, did you mean salt?

Old John nodded.

Salt as precious as a piscine, sir John?

Old John nodded affirmatively.

My God! Hughes exaggerated, Is this a treasure trove? Did Baron Dikas dig a salt mine?

Old John's face suddenly sank, Mr. Hughes,

Be careful with your words.

Hughes realized that everyone needs salt, which is a necessity and a luxury. A salt mine can cause a war.

He quickly apologized, I'm sorry, Master John. I should say, did Baron Diggas get the precious salt from other lords? That's really a real big man!

Hughes made up an excuse for William.

Only then did Old John's face soften.

In fact, he didn't know how William's snow salt came from at first, and thought that William had found the salt mine in the dark forest.

But old John wisely kept silent about it and ignored it.

Until one day, William told him the source of the salt.

It is a unique plant in the dark forest.

It is not special, whether it is used as a branch for firewood or a tree trunk as a beam, it is just general.

Just like an ordinary student in William's previous life school, there was nothing special about him, and he didn't impress the teacher deeply.

But even this kind of plant secretes some milky white liquid from its trunk in the early morning before the sun comes out.

These liquids contain salt, and as long as they are boiled, they are salt that can be eaten directly.

But as soon as the sun comes out, the milky liquid on the trunk evaporates quickly.

Therefore, no villagers discovered this situation.

It costs a lot of money every month to go to Patras city to buy low-quality salt for consumption.

It was also accidental that William knew that this was the case.

Once, he wanted to try whether the gourmet table could make salt, but the direction of raw material extraction was limited to the dark forest.

William has studied biology, so he knows that there are some organic salts and inorganic salts in nature.

The gourmet table can make Salty William no surprise.

But to William's surprise, the amount of salt produced by the gourmet table far exceeded his estimation.

Having used the gourmet table so many times, William has already gained experience.

The more troublesome or difficult food to make, the more mana the gourmet table will consume and the less food will be produced.

But this time, the amount of salt was far beyond William's expectations.

William immediately became interested, and after several attempts, he finally used the magic mirror to determine the source of the salt.

It is this kind of tree that can secrete salt.

In fact, this kind of tree was also seen in William's previous life, and it is called a halophyte.

It's just that William has never seen a halophyte with such a large secretion.

In William's view, they are biological salt mines.

William named them Saltwood, and told Old John about it, and asked him to build a garden in the town with heavy guards, specially transplanting this kind of saltwood, and let some honest and reliable people collect salt The liquid is boiled into salt crystals and sold in grocery stores.

Staring fascinatedly at the snow salt taken out by Kerry Mark's father, Hughes murmured, Master John, how do you sell this salt?

John Sr. and Kerry Mark's father looked at each other.

Old John hesitated and said, This salt is not cheap.

Hughes nodded in understanding.

So old John said, A pound of salt, a hundred piskins. If you buy it...

There are still discounts before finishing, Hughes agreed, I want it!

After finishing speaking, he looked at Old John eagerly, for fear that he would break his promise.

Seeing him like this, Old John really regretted it in his heart - if he knew it would be more expensive!
