Chapter 3: Goods from Earth


    Liu Feng carelessly put the two things to the side, and said calmly, "Then let''s check the goods and settle the price."


    "Okay!" Carter nodded and immediately called a middle-aged man, his butler, who was a shrewd man.


    "Butler, help us estimate the cost."


    "Yes!" The butler replied respectfully.


    Liu Feng put a box on the table, opened it, and took out five sses from the inside. The sses were the kind that cost about a few bucks each in the supermarket.


    "Hiss..." Carter, Fez, and the butler all sucked in a mouthful of cold air, their eyes staring at the sses in Liu Feng''s hands. They hurriedly went forward with two hands in front of them, carefully taking the ss cups.


    "This is crystal ss! I had been fortunate enough to see one at a Duke''s Mansion, but it wasn''t as pure and gorgeous as these ones." Carter eximed, his eyes full of greed.


    Fez''s breathing sped up as he held the sses tightly with his hands. The only thing he wanted to do at this moment was to im them as his own.


    "How many gold coins do you three think these crystal sses are worth?" Liu Feng directly made the price of the sses on the level of gold coins.


    The currency of this world was divided into three levels: copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.


    1 gold coin was equal to 100 silver coins, and 1 silver coin was equal to 1000 copper coins.


    ording to Liu Feng''s investigation, 1 copper coin had the same purchasing power as 1 dor on Earth.


    Carter took a deep breath and carefully ced the ss cup on the table, and said with a smile, "My friend, I will give five gold coins for one crystal ss."


    The value of the item was too high for a butler to estimate.


    Liu Feng silently looked at the sses. He never thought that one ss was worth five gold coins. He thought that two gold coins would have been ridiculous enough.


    One gold coin, if converted into Earth''s money, would be about $10,000. One ss only cost about a few bucks. The profit was scary.


    Carter saw that Liu Feng was silent for a long time, and he quickly added, "Of course, these crystal ss cups are of very high quality, so I can add another gold coin."


    "Uh..." Hearing that, Liu Feng knew that the other party misunderstood. He sighed, "I received these five crystal sses from a deste nobleman. At that time, I used five gold coins and twenty silver coins to buy one crystal ss. Now that I''m selling you these sses for six gold coins each, I''m making a loss!"


    "Ha ha ha..." Carterughed mysteriously. "Baron Liu Feng, my friend, I won''t let you take a loss. There''s a gift for youter."


    "Oh?" Liu Feng raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth. "Okay, I''ll sell it for 6 gold coins each."


    "Ha ha ha..." Fezughed excitedly and quickly took the five sses and put them in his arms like they were some treasure.


    "5 ss- cough cough- 5 crystal sses cost a total of 30 gold coins, which is just enough to pay for the territory, so we are even." Liu Feng said, his mouth twitching.


    "That''s right!"


    Carter nodded, his eyes fixed on the two boxes. He calmly said, "Baron Liu Feng, can you let this old man look at your other goods? If I am satisfied, we will buy a few of them."


    The words made Liu Feng''s heart shiver. He knew that Carter had gotten greedy. If there really were items that the Carter liked, they would most likely kill him and take the goods.


    "Of course!"


    Liu Feng put his hand on the box for a short time before quietly opening the box, revealing some clothes and a few ceramic products.


    Disappointment shed across Carter''s eyes when he saw the items. He forced a smile and said, "Are these exquisite ceramic tes the same as the ones you sold to mest time?"


    "Yeah! Only these things are left. After all, these goods were transported from the Far East and took a long time. A lot of them were broken on the way." Liu Feng made an excuse that he had used before.


    He had just put the mirror and a few items back in his storage space. He was afraid to let the other party know about the existence of mirrors and baijiu since just one ss cup was worth so much money.


    In the past, he sold salt, polished rice, ceramic products, woodenbs, and other simr stuff. This was the first time he brought out things like ss.


    There was only a small amount of naturally made ss in this era. Fortunately, he had discovered this loophole in time.


    Carter had bought several ceramic tes from Liu Feng before. He had evenplimented that these ceramic tes were better than some that were used by high noble families.


    "What a pity," Carter said, sighing. As for whether he was disappointed about there not more valuable items or disappointed about some other things, only he would know."My friend, sell all of these ceramic tes to me!"


    "Sure. There''s a total of 12 tes, 1 silver coin for 1 te, a total of 12 silver coins." Liu Feng said, rapidly calcting the cost.


    Carter nodded, and the butler quickly walked forward, handed 12 silver coins to Liu Feng, and carefully took the ceramic tes.


    "Then Baron Liu Feng, pleasee with me. I''ll introduce you to the residents," Carter stood up and said.


    "Okay!" Liu Feng got up and followed him.


    "Dong dong dong..."


    Before they got outside, they heard a bell ringing a few times. Carter exined that it was a signal to gather the residents.


    I''m guessing that it means that the butler can only estimate the value of items that costs less than a certain amount of money.


    . Literally, two cleared. It means that no one owes each other anymore.


    . Literally, white wine, but for some reason it''s called baijiu and not white wine in English.


    Probably refers to being able to find the loophole before Carter sold him the city.
