Working Prophet.

Chapter 52 Black Gold
Li Yu went back to Miss Rabbit's house, reached out and knocked on the door.

For the first time, nothing happened inside.

So Li Yu knocked twice again, and after a while, the girl's voice came out from the room, sounding muffled, "I am serving the ancient spirit of the Arias family. Forstall or Alfred."

"It's me." Li Yu replied.

There was silence on the other side of the door.

"Don't you think it's too late to pretend that no one is there?" Li Yu paused and added, "Don't worry, I didn't come here for the necklace."

After a while, Ilea finally opened the door reluctantly, poked her head out from behind the door, and said with a vigilant expression, "Is it really because of the necklace?"

"Well, no, I can assure you."

Miss Rabbit thought about it seriously. Except for the necklace-related things, what could she do but Fausto and Alfred couldn't.

The final answer is - no.

So she blinked at Li Yu, "Goodbye."

She was about to close the door again, but Li Yu's next words made her stop again.

"I've helped you so many times, the first time I ask you for help, do you just refuse it if you don't even want to hear it?"

Even though Miss Rabbit is wrong in every way, there is one thing that is pretty good, that is, there is a clear distinction between grievances and grievances.

The first thing he did after winning the election was to find his half-brother, scare the latter into pissing his pants, and avenge him on the spot for threatening to kill her.The starting point of Shuangwen is not so fast.

And she can have what she is today, and it is inseparable from Li Yu's selfless support all the time.

As the saying goes, cannibals are soft-spoken and short-handed. When the girl heard this, she immediately felt embarrassed to chase him away. She not only let Li Yu into the house politely, but also asked the maid to bring the wine.

Ilea temporarily put down the electronic pet egg in her hand, and looked at Li Yu who was sitting on the opposite chair, with a look of embarrassment on her face, her fingers interlocked tightly, and separated from time to time.

"Well, I'm really... thank you very much, that's right, but it's not my business alone to form a religious order in my territory, I also have to consider the subjects, especially those Silver Moon Goddesses the feelings of believers."

"I didn't come here for this." Li Yu said, "Actually, I'm a little short of money recently, so I brought some souvenirs from my hometown and wanted to find a place to sell them."

Miss Rabbit heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words, "Souvenir products, this is simple, there is a shop in the castle, you can sell it to the boss, just report my name, and let him give you a good price."

"I asked before, and the boss said that the amount was too much, and he couldn't accept it."

"How much did you bring?" Ilea was startled when she heard this, "I didn't see how many salutes you had when you appeared in front of me before."

"I brought about two pounds with me this time."

"Two pounds? That's not much, two pounds what?"

Li Yu didn't answer, and threw out a small bag directly.

Miss Rabbit was still a little puzzled. After she saw the things on the table, her expression changed drastically, and she blurted out, "Black gold, this is... black gold?! Oh my god, why do you have so many!!!"

"I still have three bags here, and the total is a little over two pounds." Li Yu also took out the other three bags and piled them on the table.

Miss Rabbit's eyes straightened instantly.

The pupils dilated, the wings of the nose fluttered, and hot air was continuously sprayed from the inside.

It's like a dragon breaking into a treasure house.

——If you can travel back to ancient times, what are the things that are common in modern times but are very valuable?
Similar problems always appear on major forums from time to time, like ghosts, and they can't dissipate.Other popular ones include whether the ten Tyrannosaurus Rex to Zhuge Liang can succeed in the Northern Expedition, Tyson and the silverback orangutan head-to-head, who can have the last laugh...

In short, sand sculpture netizens have always spared no effort in finding fun, which is admirable.

Going back to the first question, if you could go back to ancient times, what would be the most valuable thing to bring?

Although the scope of the word ancient is too general, and the author of the question did not mention the specific location of crossing, it is obviously not rigorous enough, but there is one answer that appears frequently in the answers below.

That is pepper.

Regardless of any country, any era, the pursuit of food is eternal.

When it comes to food, spices cannot be bypassed.

Especially the older the era, the more monotonous the cooking method. If you want to get a good taste, you need to rely on spices to enhance the taste.

When he was at the Marquis's mansion, Li Yu noticed that there was very little pepper on the salmon.

There is only a symbolic amount, and you can't even taste it unless you eat it carefully.

Of course, this was also related to their identities. Ilea and the others were all nobles at the table, so pepper should be enough, but no matter what, the majestic Marquis Mansion was careful and careful when entertaining guests, which showed the preciousness of pepper.

The name of black gold is well-deserved.

In Li Yu's universe, the reason why pepper was so rare in medieval Europe was because most of the spices were produced in the East, and the transportation distance was tens of thousands of miles, and the trade chain in the middle was complicated.

In the end, when the pepper arrived in mainland Europe, the price was naturally prohibitively high.

After chatting with the store owner in the castle, Li Yu found that the situation in this plane was similar, and it was the Elephant Man who mastered the spices.

They live in the Emerald Sea to the east, where thousands of small islands are scattered.Elephant people built manors on small islands, planted various spices, and then shipped them to all parts of the world through Naga's sea caravans.

The shortest route to Bratis is directly through the Storm Sea in the middle.

That ghostly place has extreme weather that even the naga are unwilling to face. Storms are commonplace, and there are terrifying waves as high as tens of meters. If one is not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.

And even if you survived the Sea of ​​Storms, there are still other troubles waiting for you.

In short, every cargo ship that successfully arrived at the port with spices has experienced all kinds of difficulties and dangers along the way, and the price is a bit more expensive after landing.

"It may be worth a lot of money!" Ilea picked up a pack of peppers and put it in her hand, and put her face closer to observe carefully, "Hey, it's not small, each one is quite plump, and the color is also very beautiful , and the most important thing is that it is not damp at all, incredible, incredible, really incredible!"

Miss Rabbit said it was incredible three times in a row, expressing her surprise in her heart!

She hadn't had a drink yet, but the girl's face was already flushed, her eyes were misty, as if she was wandering in a beautiful fantasy, and she murmured, "This is absolutely top-notch, no nobleman can refuse, It can be sold one by one.”

But soon she remembered something again, her ears drooped suddenly, the light in her eyes disappeared, and she returned to that listless look.
