Also thanks to book friend 'bhkly' for the reward!)

Liu Qi's brain is still relatively bright. After hearing the knock on the door, Liu Qi obviously had a premonition that the person who came probably didn't intend to use force, otherwise wouldn't it be enough to just break the door?

And Nina was questioned a few days ago, but she didn't receive any treatment such as imprisonment or coercion. From the point of view, at least she has no hostility towards Liu Qi at present.If you look at it this way, it is reasonable for Liu Qi to meet this person who is looking for him first—at least find out who his enemy is?

Well, of course, it's just that it might not be the enemy yet...

"Liu! Is that you? I'm Guttel!! The Guttel who entertained you in the manor outside the city!! Can you open the door? I have important business for you! A big deal!!"

After hearing Liu Qi's answer, the people outside the door said in a high-pitched voice, the tone was extremely excited, especially the last sentence, they were already shouting, for fear that the people inside the door didn't hear it.

"Guteer?! Big business??"

Liu Qi's memory is not bad, and now he can still remember the steward of the manor who entertained him.Well, well, the main reason for remembering this person is because of his beautiful wife. I remember the first thought in Liu Qi's mind when he saw this guy say that extremely beautiful woman was his wife for the first time. It was a flower stuck in cow dung - of course Liu Qi would never admit that he was envious and jealous.

How could Liu Qi forget such an impressive guy?

"...Wait a minute, I'll open the door, Guttel!"

When Liu Qi heard that it was Guttel, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, then pulled Nina aside and asked her to bring the crossbow to the house and hide it in a low voice, and then saw Nina obediently carrying the crossbow. After entering the room, Liu Qi nodded inwardly, satisfied with Nina's well-behaved, and then slowly stepped forward to open the door.

Liu Qi didn't take any defensive measures. Since it was Guttel, a guy who knew him, who came forward to find him, and it wasn't the kind of force invitation, it meant that he was going to cooperate with him. I get it, it's because of my own modern commodities.I remember that there was only one kind of product I gave Tuttle—modern iodized salt. Is it because of this that I found myself?

"Squeak-"

After opening the door, the first thing Liu Qi saw was Guttel's smiling face like a chrysanthemum.

...............

An hour later, Liu Qi sat alone in the yard, looking at the wooden door closed by Guttel when he just left, Liu Qi squinted his eyes to figure out how much water was in Guttel's words just now.

Just now when I met Guttel, he looked like he was making friends, but unfortunately, that kind of clumsy means of soliciting friendship was too childish for Liu Qi, a well-informed modern person in modern times.Well, I have to say that the speaking skills of the Bronze Age are far from as powerful as those of later generations, and they are extremely primitive.

Liu Qi looked at Gutel like this and he was not in a hurry. He learned the unique Taijiquan skills of the Celestial Dynasty like a cat and a tiger, and chatted with Gutel about the good weather today, what is the price of wheat in Bella City today, and so on.

Bronze Age's Friendship Skills vs. Tai Chi Chuan

Facts have proved that the accumulation of thousands of years is not for nothing. Even Liu Qi, a beginner who is not very skilled, is absolutely powerful against the more stubborn Guteer.

Later, Guttel had no choice but to choose to reveal his original purpose.

As expected by Liu Qi, the reason Guteer came to Liu Qi was because Liu Qi sold the three packs of modern iodized salt to Tuttle three months ago when Liu Qi conducted the first space-time transaction in the manor.

Liu Qi didn't know the prices in the Age of Empires at the time, so he could only buy five packs of iodized salt, five bags of thirteen incense sticks, and ten glass beads based on the experience in YY novels, and hurried into the world of Age of Empires.

The inexperienced Liu Qi even almost died in the Age of Empires because of his richness. If he hadn't been lucky enough to detect it in advance and had the option to quit, Liu Qi might even become the saddest otaku-he obviously has a golden finger, but because he doesn't Be careful to reveal your wealth and die in another world. This is definitely a cold joke. If the protagonist is himself, even Liu Qi will laugh at this unlucky guy.

But of course Liu Qi didn't know that he almost forced Guttel to hang himself or wipe his neck for a month when he disappeared directly, because the Guttel family spent n much effort and couldn't find Liu Qi in Bella City.

The bag of white salt that Guttel asked Kunta to bring caused a sensation among the Guttel family.No way, even the nobles in the Roman city-states in the Bronze Age also ate the coarse salt grains. At the top of the day, they asked the servants to grind it finer. Very bitter taste.

However, this kind of extremely bitter coarse salt is not something common people and slaves can often afford. In the Roman city-state, the price of salt has never been cheap.Well, of course, it seems that the price of salt in ancient times was not very cheap. At least in Beira City, the price of salt was quite high. A catty of salt was equivalent to half a month’s salary of an ordinary citizen in Beira City. It was definitely quite expensive. The price is too high, and the average citizen basically needs a catty of salt for a family to eat for a long time.

However, although this kind of high-priced salt is nothing to the nobles, some nobles even buy the so-called finely processed high-grade salt for consumption.But the high-grade salt bought by the Roman nobles... Well, the sky is the light black table salt that is a little better than the thick black table salt used by ordinary citizens.

This so-called 'high-grade salt' is nothing compared to Liu Qi's white salt! !

The family that Guttel belongs to is considered to be the top wealthy family in Bella City, and the business sense and thinking ability of its leaders are far from those of Guttel's level.

After receiving the pack of white salt sent by Kunta, the Patriarch of the Guteer family understood the value of this white salt, which was absolutely immeasurable, after a simple trial.

Salt, the second necessity of human beings after food (clothes rank third), is an industry that must be controlled by every dynasty and government. After all, anyone with eyes knows that people cannot lack salt.

In this way, even if the price of salt is high, as long as people have the conditions, even the most stingy people will grit their teeth and spend money to buy a little salt to maintain the human body's necessary consumption-even those who have nowhere to buy salt Even plant ash and livestock blood are used to supplement the salt.

In this case, it is self-evident how high the profit of table salt in the Roman city-state is.

Liu Qi's white salt not only does not have the bitterness of the salt that the family usually eats, but the white color is a symbol of white silver coins.I believe that those nobles would never care about spending several times more to buy this kind of white salt, which symbolizes status and wealth. Of course, the head of the Guteer family can see this.

Therefore, less than a day after Liu Qi disappeared, the Guttel family secretly mobilized people to conduct inquiries in Bella City. Of course, this kind of money-making channel cannot be done with great fanfare.

The efforts of the Guttel family are in vain, who can find a person who is no longer in this world?This is obviously impossible.

The result is that the Guteer family only found the few packets of seasonings and two packets of salt that Liu Qi sold, and found nothing for the rest. The Gutter family, disappointed, could only give up searching in the end. After all, they searched for almost half a day. A month later, the last patience of the Gouter family was wiped out. The Gouter family, who had lost a lot of manpower and material resources, gave up this kind of secret search operation that seemed to have no gains. They could only admit that they had no luck. It is estimated that the businessman Already left Bella City.

But the matter is not over yet, and Guteer and Kunta, who had been in contact with Liu Qi, were unlucky because of this.

Kunta missed an excellent opportunity because he didn't realize the importance of Liu Qi, and was directly used as a scapegoat by the Gouter family and demoted to an ordinary guard.

Guttel was caused by his beautiful wife. Guttel, who originally hid in the manor outside the city because of this, suffered a catastrophe this time.Guteer, who gritted his teeth and refused to compromise with some people, was deprived of the position of manor steward, and was recalled to Bella City to become an insignificant city hall employee.

Guttel, who originally wanted to use Liu Qi's white salt to stand up, completely lost his status in the family.

But Gutel was also lucky. At first he thought he had no hope, but half a month ago, Gutel, who got drunk to relieve stress in a tavern in Bella City, accidentally heard someone talking at his wine table, saying that he was here. The guy with black hair and black pupils living around seems to have gone out recently.

This inadvertent conversation made Guttel suddenly raised his spirits, black hair and black pupils!Isn't this unique to that businessman named 'Liu'?Is he still in the city of Bella? ?

Have black hair and black pupils at the same time? ?Guttel can swear with Athena, the goddess of wisdom that he believes in, that for the first time in his life, he has only seen "Liu" who has both of them at the same time.

However, Guttel, who was awake, also had doubts in his heart. Based on this special characteristic, his family also secretly searched for almost a month without any results. Why would he suddenly get news now after almost a month and a half?Is it a trap?Is it aimed at yourself?But I obviously just came to this tavern on a temporary basis.

All kinds of questions kept spinning in Guttel's mind, but the questions belonged to the doubts, and Guttel still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.Because he knew that this news was probably the only hope for him to turn around.

Not to mention the grievances in Guttel's heart when he was reduced from a powerful manor steward to a small clerk in the city of Bella whose salary can barely support his family.

However, Gutel did not dare to disclose this unconfirmed news to the family rashly, but chose to investigate by himself. After spending some time and energy, Gutel successfully found Liu Qi's residence.

This also happened to those things mentioned above!
