She plans to understand the situation first, and then take the next action.
Judging from the current price of West Wind Kingdom, 3 copper coins can buy a black bread, 2 black bread is barely enough for a person to consume in a day, but if you work, you need at least 4 to satisfy your hunger.
If you want to live longer, you have to find other foods to supplement nutrition.
换算过来一铜币的购买力和前世1元相差不多。而100铜币=1银币,100银币=1金币。
That is to say, 10 gold coins are about equal to 10 billion yuan in the previous life. The gold coins in this world are all made by extraordinary craftsmen, with special engravings, which are difficult to imitate, so they are very valuable.So in fact, in general, 110 silver coins can be exchanged for 1 gold coin.Usually, silver coins are enough for most transactions, and most of the gold coins are collected by nobles and wealthy businessmen.
The rain in summer comes and goes quickly, and it will stop after a while, and there will be more pedestrians on the street.
ding dong ding dong—
A pleasant wind chime came, and the girl looked up. It turned out to be an Elf-style cold drink shop. The brown wooden signboard was written with the words "Flowers and Summer Leaves" in emerald green paint, in Elvish language. And the handwriting is graceful, and the signboard is surrounded by green vines with a few small flowers blooming on it.
As summer approaches, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there are many people inside looking through the glass windows.Lorraine Hill is also more curious, does this world also have ice cream?
She pushed open the door and went in, and a cool cold air hit her face, dispelling the sultry heat on her clothes.
"Welcome~" A black and white maid greeted her with a smile.
The black short skirt and the knee-high stockings just formed an absolute territory. The leg loops on the upper part of the silk stockings were slightly tucked, and a small circle of flesh was drawn, which made the maid have an inexplicable look.
It seems that the owner of this shop is also a powerful person, the silver-haired girl thought to herself, and then found an empty table and sat down.
"What do you want?" A maid with long chestnut hair came over and handed the girl a menu.
"Give me an ice cream cake and an iced raspberry juice."
I didn’t expect to eat ice cream when I came to this world. Although the names on the menu are different, the guests around me are actually enjoying ice cream, and some even have strawberries and cherries on it.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Loren Hill sat quietly at the table and waited, while observing the store.
The green vines on the ceiling are entwined, and there are some hanging baskets during the period. Ice cubes are placed in the baskets. These ice cubes are cold, cooling the room and making the environment more comfortable.
And when Lorraine Hill observed, the door of the store was pushed open again, and a pair of luxuriously dressed two people came in.
The leader was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a silk coat imported from the Plantagenet Dynasty, a round hat, and some wrinkles on his face, but he was well maintained and should be a wealthy businessman.Because the nobles of the West Wind Kingdom do not wear round hats, this is the style of the Vigal merchants.
Behind him was a young girl in a blue silk dress. She had blonde hair and good looks, but her behavior was very casual, not like a lady from a big family.
The girl looked around for a week, looking at the somewhat full store, with a hint of disgust on her face, and covered her nose with a fan.
"Father, can you drive these people out? It's too crowded."
Chapter 33 Angus' Guess
"Be patient a little, my lovely Elaine, after all, this is not home." The father in front was a little helpless, and said a few words of comfort.
"I don't care, so many people are crowded together, it's really uncomfortable."
"Okay, okay. Dad will discuss it with the store manager."
The father with gray temples looked at his daughter dotingly, and asked the housekeeper behind him to ask the maid in the store where the store manager was.
After a while, a lady in a purple dress walked down the stairs, wearing a black lace veil and black silk gloves on her hands.
"Long time no see, Angus, how did you become so rude." The lady and the rich businessman seemed to be old acquaintances.
"It's amazing. I haven't seen Mrs. Filia for a long time. I didn't expect you to open this store. I'm really sorry."
"Elian, come to say hello, this is Mrs. Filia, who was once famous in the mainland. Haven't you always admired her, this time it's time to meet a real person."
"Hello Mrs. Filia." The girl in the blue dress lowered her head nervously, and raised her skirt in a prudent salute, but her movements were not very standard, and she lost her domineering and domineering behavior just now.
She never thought that she would meet the star she admires here today.
Cang's Singer is a title that is well-known in the mainland. In the past, only the best singers could inherit this title. She was a guest of the royal family and nobles of various countries, and had great influence in the folk and upper-class circles.Every time a concert is held, it will be full and it will be hard to find a ticket. It is said that at the most expensive time, it was 10 gold coins for a ticket. This is just a standing ticket.
Although Mrs. Filia has retired for many years, she still has a great reputation and influence in the circle.
On the mainland, the only one who can be as famous as Cang Zhi Song Ji is Fei Zhi Song Ji. These two titles represent the highest glory of Ivar World in terms of singing and acting.
And since Mrs. Filia retired, the new generation of Cangzhi Songji has not appeared.Because there is no new generation of singers who can be recognized by everyone to get this name.
"Mrs. Filia, can I learn to sing with you?" The girl in the blue dress looked eagerly at the legendary figure in front of her.
"Unfortunately, I no longer accept students. If you are interested in singing, there are actually many excellent singers in Hopeland. You can learn from them."
The girl in the blue dress was a little disappointed, and turned her eyes to her father.
Angus touched his daughter's head and looked at Mrs. Filia.
"Can you be accommodating, Filia, we have known each other for a long time."
"You know my principles, Angus." The lady shook her head.
After that, the two talked for a while, and then the wealthy businessman took his daughter to the table at Roland Hill.
The other tables are basically full, or there are some men and lovers together, only Roland Hill is alone at this table, which seems a little quiet.
"Hello, can we share the table?" the rich businessman asked politely.
"Yes." Roland Hill replied softly, his eyes hidden in the shadow of the hood, revealing only his delicate chin and silver hair.
Recalling that she was rejected by her idol just now, the blue skirt girl Elaine was a little gloomy and ate ice cream in a fit of anger.
The father next to her fondly touched her long hair and comforted his daughter.
The previous butler did not come in, but waited on the carriage outside the store.
After a while, Elaine caught a cold stomach from eating too much ice cream and went to the bathroom, leaving only Loren Hill and the middle-aged wealthy businessman.
Loren Hill tasted the ice cream in small sips, the cold touch melted in the mouth, and a rich milky sweetness filled his mouth.
"I really don't know where they got the milk." The girl couldn't help being a little curious and whispered.
"It should be from the Gufiya grassland, but it should be brewed with dry milk powder. It is too difficult to transport fresh milk."
Angus heard the girl's question and explained it casually.
"Isn't the Gufia grasslands a place for orcs to stay?"
"Yes, they graze on the grassland. They mainly produce fur, milk and meat. They use these to trade daily necessities. If they can buy goods from there and transport them to Vigal, they can make a small profit." The true nature of the businessman, he said casually, this is not a secret, it is just a bit risky, and there are not many people doing business.
From the Gufia steppe in the north to Verga in the south, we have to pass through the West Wind Kingdom in the middle, but the West Wind Kingdom is not very stable at present, and various internal uprisings and independence are frequent.
Angus explained that business on this route has not been good in recent years.
Uprising? The girl couldn't help but think back to the boy named Pullman. Forget it, I should have thought too much.
"Are you a businessman from Verga? I feel very familiar with what you said." The girl's sweet voice came from under the hood.
"Yes, I used to be from the West Wind Kingdom. In my early years, in order to survive, I went to work in Verga in the south. I have made some money these years."
Roland Hill's voice was very soft and pleasant. Although Angus couldn't see her face clearly, he was happy to answer some simple questions.
Then the two talked. At first, Angus just thought that the girl in front of him should be born in a noble family and was just a young lady who sneaked out to travel. He didn't care much.
But after chatting, he found that although Roland Hill did not understand the market, he had never heard of business marketing ideas, and all kinds of novel concepts surprised him, a well-informed businessman.
What kind of bundled sales, buy one get two free, lottery, tertiary agency distribution, viral advertising, hunger marketing, etc., even if you listen to it, you can feel the incomparable charm.Moreover, the girl also spoke very well about the psychology of customers when purchasing, which made Angus a little doubt whether he had been in business for so many years or not.
"If you say that you are a princess who sneaked out of the Green Empire, I would believe it."
Angus looked at the girl on the opposite side. The black robe seemed to be made of some kind of high-grade material. There were still tiny drops of water falling from the corners. The delicate face was hidden in the shadow of the hood. It's hard to see it so close, it should be a hat with extraordinary effects, which blurs the line of sight.
Her hands were wearing gray silk gloves, but the whiteness that showed from the cuffs and between the gloves showed that the girl's skin was well maintained, which was definitely not something that ordinary families could have.
The accent is also very standard, so that you can't tell where it is from, which is generally only required by children of big noble families.
"I'm just an ordinary person." Roland Hill shook his head, denying Angus' guess.
Chapter 34 Blue Precision
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, I understand when you are away."
Angus doesn't care about the girl's denial. In his opinion, this is a very sensible approach. It would be strange if she admits it. Even if she is not the princess of the Green Empire, it is estimated that she was born in a big noble family in the empire. 's direct line.
The reason why he didn't guess the aristocrats of the West Wind Kingdom was because Angus knew the country too well. He was born in a baron's family in the West Wind Kingdom. Later, he was framed by his brother before leaving the country to do business.
It can be considered unintentional, but I didn't expect that his talent and luck are not bad, and now he has become the number one businessman in Port Hopeland, and he is also said to be the number one person in Verga.
This time Zephyr came to pick up his daughter to Verga.In the past few years, he was busy with entertainment and business, and he never settled down. It was only in the past two years that he arranged various industries properly.Finally, he was able to take his daughter to Verga to take good care of her to make up for the regret of keeping her alone in the West Wind.
Angus' daughter lives well in West Wind. She has a large manor and servants to take care of her, but after all, there are no relatives around, and her personality has become a bit eccentric.
The main reason is that Elaine's mother passed away early, and there was only one nurse to take care of her. The others were servants, and no one dared to disobey her, so she gradually developed a self-pampering character.
Angus also specially found a famous teacher in Hopelander this time, ready to accompany her, teach her, and change her awkward personality, and Xifeng's side, it is estimated that he will not come again in the future.Today, the nobles of the West Wind Kingdom are incapacitated, and they are proficient in civil wars.No wonder there have been frequent uprisings and civil unrest in recent years.
Looking at this knowledgeable and erudite girl in front of her, Angus guessed that she was either from a great noble family in the Green Empire or a student of Emenas College.
Although the mages of Rourna are also rich in knowledge, they have never been interested in doing business.
Speaking of Luerna, we will introduce the current situation of the Western Continent.
Today's Western Continent is roughly divided into two parts, east and west, bounded by the Mountains of Sighs in the center.
The East is the most powerful verdant empire on the continent, occupying nearly half of the continent's land.
Since the strong rise of the Green Empire more than 300 years ago, the seven great powers in the western part of the continent, Virga, Ruerna, Gufia, Falcon, Sanctuary, West Wind, and Black Rock, formed an alliance of blood in Xuehua Mountain and established Snow Hualian to fight against the expansion of the Green Empire.
Verga is famous for its commerce and navy, Rourna is mainly alchemist and mages, Falcon is the co-government of the wing clan and knights, Sanctuary is the base camp of the angel sequence, Black Rock is the country of mercenaries and mountains and forests, Gufia is the orc The last private land of each tribe, and the advocate of Xuehua United, the once glorious country of the West Wind.
More than 100 years ago, the Seven Kingdoms formed a coalition of about 200 million troops to block the invasion of the Verdant Empire at the Apocalypse Fortress in the south of the Mountains of Sighs.
At that time, they fought for more than a year, and the two sides continued to increase their troops. In the end, Xuehua united about 260 million, and the Green Empire about 300 million, fighting fiercely on the golden plain,
It was not until the last Green Empire failed to retreat that the war came to an end. Later, the two sides ceased fighting, and gradually there was peace for nearly a hundred years.This battle is also known as "The Battle of the Broken Bow".
There are many meanings in it. The art of bow and arrow of the Green Empire inherited the forest elves, which can be said to be a very famous representative. In this battle, it is said that at the end of the battle, the bow was broken and the arrows were shot. Retire and negotiate.Some people say that this symbolizes the imaginary bow of the Green Empire, which was ruthlessly broken, and the dream of unifying the continent was shattered.

After Angus and Roland Hill talked for a while, the spoiled girl in the blue dress came back.
"Father, let's go back, I don't want to stay here, we'll go to Verga tomorrow."
"Okay, my dear daughter, you have suffered all these years in the West Wind Kingdom alone."
