Chapter 18 My name is Hogg, the owner of the Remlu fish stall is now bankrupt
The jackal covered with waterweed bandages was naturally the transformed Levi, while the Kuo-tao fish-man that was about to be shaken into pieces by him was transformed by Pipim.
Obviously, the master and servant had a tight time to escape after the battle on the river bank, so they did not make enough detailed arrangements before parting, and Pipim's brain was unable to proactively think of ways to do better like advanced intelligent creatures.
After completing the tasks assigned by the boss, according to the vague orders, they will just try their best to get closer to the task results according to their previous habits.
Therefore, in order to earn more ore, they chose to sell at a discount the stock of dried salted fish that had lost its main source of production. This made Li Wei, a silver dragon, feel heartbroken.
It has to be said that in Zelandia, which is full of strange things, the Kuo Tao fishman's salted fish stall is also a strange thing.
These Kuo-Toa people, who could not even speak Common Language, first appeared about two years ago. According to some people's speculation, they may have swam down the underground river from the underground river.
Originally, this was nothing. After all, Zeelandia was originally a loose group of escaped slaves. The arrival of a few new kuo-toa people would not cause any waves, even if the kuo-toa people could not produce any value.
At worst, it can be pickled and made into dried salted fish.
But within a few days, these Kuo Tao fishmen started selling dried salted fish. The main raw material was made from fathead fish marinated in mineral salt and dried in the shade. Even after the water was removed, it still weighed three to four pounds.
Such a piece of dried salted fish is enough for a strong man to work hard for the entire daytime cycle.
And how much do they sell for such dried salted fish? One unit is three pieces of two hundred pounds of iron ore!
How did you sell the cheapest black bread in Zeelandia before? Two hundred pounds of iron ore per piece! Less than five pounds. The main materials were made of fluorescent moss and underground gray wheat bran. In order to save materials, the black-hearted dwarves also mixed
A lot of sand got in
When eating this kind of black bread, you have to soak it in hot water before swallowing it. Otherwise, it can be used as a self-defense weapon. If you eat it, you can open a goblin on the head.
So this dried salted fish became an instant hit in Zeelandia's market. The first day the Pipims brought the stock, it was sold out within an hour. The miners who were eager to grab it almost transformed the slime into a
The Kuo Tao fish were all taken away as dried fish.
At first, people thought it was because the Kuo-Toa people's brains, which were not much bigger than walnuts, were not easy to calculate, and they were naturally happy to take advantage. However, as time went by, the refugees of Zeelandia discovered that these Kuo-Toa people still did not increase their prices.
, and there is almost an endless supply of dried fish on hand.
As a result, the market that had been solidified for decades in Zeelandia was shattered by a large amount of cheap dried salted fish. In order to deal with the black heart bread that was almost completely moldy, the dwarves had no choice but to follow the price reduction, so in the wave of price reductions,
As a result of the chain reaction, the refugees throughout Zeelandia found that their quality of life had actually improved.
If such a cute Kuo Tao fish man were in another time and space, he would probably be enshrined by people and become the Buddha of thousands of families.
At first, the dwarves suggested replacing these murlocs who were disrupting the market, but Old Tiger stopped them.
The reason is very simple. Food in the Underdark is already very scarce and is considered a scarce resource. Even the dwarves themselves are the beneficiaries of cheap dried fish.
A more fundamental reason is that the sawfish is a sub-river species. Apart from the Kuo-toa fishmen, there is almost no other amphibious species in Zelandia that can go into the water to catch fish on a large scale.
Killing these murlocs would be like fishing from the lake, which is definitely not a wise choice.
Although not everyone understands this truth, they can simply calculate an account. With the daily limit of dried salted fish, they can have more ore left over to exchange for better mining picks, and even buy some self-defense
equipment, and you can occasionally visit a drow technician, so why not.
After going back and forth like this, the fish stall opened by Pipim and others under Li Wei's instruction turned out to be the most powerful vendor in Zeelandia.
So Pipim and the others are just living in this sinful place where fish and dragons are mixed as just a few Kuo-Tao fishmen, and they are thriving.
Occasionally, there will be a few blind refugees who want to bully the fish people with their physique and want to eat some King's meal, but every time before the dwarf law enforcement team can take action, these blind people will be beaten half to death by the enthusiastic citizens.
.
As time goes by, everyone knows that there are people behind these Kuo-Toa people, and it is almost difficult to see such blind people anymore.
But at this moment when the crowd at the start of the day is the thickest, someone actually dares to bully their lovely Kuo Tao fish boss! They simply don’t take these rough men seriously!
Li Wei, who had just arrived, also noticed that something was wrong. In just a few seconds, he was already surrounded by thousands of people, and it was dark. They all rolled up their sleeves and looked bad.
Levi immediately noticed something was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a rough voice, "Let go of that fish-man! I, Garulu, will beat you! Saluga!"
"Huh?" His thoughts were interrupted, and Levi in the form of a jackal frowned and looked at the ogre, baring his teeth instinctively with a ferocious look on his face.
Perhaps it was because he had killed at least a dozen ogres on the battlefield on the river bank, and the bloody smell on his body had not yet dissipated. For a moment, the ogre seemed to have the illusion that he was in front of a ferocious giant beast.
"My old Tiger, Garululu! This jackal is so scary! Garulu can't beat him." Garululu instinctively took two steps back due to this look, and pushed the man behind him with a kick.
The dwarf sat up and let out a scream.
Seeing that the ogre was frightened away by one glance, and then looking at the mighty figure and strong muscles that were more than seven feet tall, the others suddenly gave up the idea of taking the lead.
At this time, Old Tiger, the head of the Gold Miners Brotherhood, came to the fish stall under heavy escort from the dwarf law enforcement team. He looked up and down at the jackal, who was carrying a giant stone tablet and was unusually sturdy. When he saw him
After being wrapped in a dense bandage of water plants, he frowned and sniffed out of instinct as he had been selecting laborers all year round.
There is still a bit of watery smell on his body, which must have come from swimming in the underground river. I don’t know how he was able to hold his breath and swim for such a long time while carrying such a large stone tablet. Other than that, his body is very clean, although he seems to have been exposed to it.
He was severely injured, and most of his fur was bald. However, the wound was scabbed, and there was no odor at all. There should be no infection.
"This is a tough one." Old Tiger instinctively judged, and his scalp couldn't help but feel a little swollen.
He hates variables, especially at this time when Gelthorne City is increasingly squeezing the lower city.
But as the general person in charge of the Gold Miners Brotherhood, he had to step in to solve such difficult matters.
Old Tiger tapped his head with his index finger, then looked at Levi calmly and said: "This jackal warrior, please put down our murloc brother Remulu first, this is Zelandia
, and I am the leader of the Gold Miners Brotherhood, Tiger Bronzebeard. No matter how you got here, but since you are here, please abide by our rules. There have been many people in the past few decades.
Any warrior like you who doesn't follow the rules will have turned into a fossil in the mine."
Seeing that Li Wei was out of trouble, he didn't seem to care about the threat in the other party's words. Instead, he put Pipim, who named himself Remulu, on his right shoulder, clenched his left paw and beat his chest.
, nodded slightly to the old dwarf, then grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ear and said with a smile:
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Hogg. I am the owner of Remulu Fish Stall. I was forced to wander here because of the bankruptcy of the fishery. There was some quarrel due to the poor execution of the company's tasks by my subordinates. Please don't misunderstand me."
Levi's brief but informative self-introduction stirred up waves with one stone.
"Surprise! The boss behind the Kuo Tao fish stall is actually a jackal!"
"Wait a minute! What does it mean when the fishery goes bankrupt?"
It was obvious that everyone was quite sensitive to the information about the bankruptcy of the fishery, and their expressions were very bright for a moment. Does this mean that they will not be able to eat such cheap dried fish in the future?
Old Tiger raised his hand to suppress the noisy noise around him, frowned and asked: "Then why did Boss Hogg come to Zelandia today?"
Levi's smile became even brighter. He thrust the huge stone slab that was almost as long as his height on his back towards the fish stall. A small half of the stone slab suddenly sank silently into the ground, and a row of scrawled words could be seen on it.
Extreme phrases:
Huo Ge Mining Co., Ltd.
“What does this mean??”
The faces of Old Tiger and the dwarves suddenly became a little ugly.
Levi ignored the extremely complicated look in Old Tiger's eyes, looked around at everyone, and said with a smile: "From today on, I, Hogg, will be one of the mine leaders here! There is an urgent need to recruit a large number of miners, and the treatment will be favorable! Before
Three dried fish rewards will be given to one hundred applicants. Those who are interested should hurry up!"
Everyone first said: "???"
