Chapter 102
Chapter 102 of "Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem" starts the action: Looking at it this way, the purchasing power of currency in this world was quite... Find out what happens!
Looking at it this way, the purchasing power of currency in this world was quite high.
Before Cao Xing left, he had 35,000 Crowns in his hand, and along the way, he encountered an unlucky merchant guild and picked up more than 40,000 Crowns.
Adding it up, it already exceeded 80,000 Crowns.
This was a huge sum, enough to buy a lot of grain.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing felt reassured in his heart.
At this moment, the villager Dan added, “Sir, the price of these grains is quite affordable, but if you want to indulge yourself, the consumption might be a bit high.”
“A casual glass of wine at the Zhuolan Tavern starts at 30 Crowns, and the prettiest, most flamboyant woman there costs as much as 400 Crowns for a night!”
Hearing the last sentence, the corner of Cao Xing’s mouth twitched.
Damn, this little guy wasn’t that old, but he knew quite a lot.
Beside him, Juliette and Liu Muxue both blushed and turned their heads, too embarrassed to listen any further.
“Enough nonsense, take us to the grain store,” Cao Xing said helplessly.
“Alright, sir.”
The villager Dan led Cao Xing and the group forward.
Along the way, they saw various vendors shouting.
“A small detection robot from the Cold Iron Kingdom, it can help you find all kinds of precious metals, a must-have for gold diggers, only 1,800 Crowns.”
“Frost Heart Lotus from the Borialis Mountains, known for its eye-clearing and calming effects, priced at 3,000 Crowns.”
“A pack of Snow Wolves appeared near Snow Fall Lake, recruiting five individuals above the First-tier to drive them away, each with a reward of 400 Crowns.”
“Baron Sir Dan is opening the Knight Trial soon, warriors above the First-tier can register and participate.”
“Hog Hunter Cottage is purchasing a large amount of Magic Creature pelts and other materials at favorable prices.”
“Rose Tavern needs a batch of materials…”
Amidst the shouting, Cao Xing and his group arrived at the grain store in .
As they pushed open the door, a wave of warmth instantly greeted them inside.
On either side of the small house, stoves were burning fiercely, crackling.
He checked the temperature.
Unexpectedly it wasn’t below zero; it was really warm inside the grain store.
At that moment, a woman who looked to be about forty, with a voluptuous figure and an air of mature charm, lounged lazily at the counter.
Upon seeing Cao Xing and his group enter, this mature woman’s eyes lit up instantly.
Being a businesswoman for many years, she immediately recognized the distinct attire and outstanding demeanor of Cao Xing and his group, knowing this was no small business deal.
“Oh~ my dear guests, are you here to buy grain?”
“Yes,” Cao Xing replied directly.
The grain store’s proprietress noticed Dan beside him and understood they already knew the prices, so she asked, “My dear guests, how many pounds of grain do you need, peeled or unpeeled?”
“Little Dan should have told you, if you purchase more than three hundred pounds of grain, our store offers a ten percent discount.”
Cao Xing pondered, a ten percent discount was not bad.
If he bought in large quantities, he could save a lot of money.
So, Cao Xing asked, “Besides wheat, do you have any other grains here, like rice?”
As an Eastern person, Cao Xing was more accustomed to eating rice.
Hearing this, the proprietress narrowed her long, almond-shaped eyes at Cao Xing and chuckled lightly, “Of course we have, but the stock of rice is not much, I can offer it at 10 Crowns per pound.”
Cao Xing nodded, already making up his mind, he directly said, “I want 1,000 pounds of peeled wheat, 500 pounds of rice, and 300 pounds of flour.”
As Cao Xing reported one number after another, the joy in the grain store proprietress’s eyes deepened, and even her breathing became a little rapid.
She almost forgot how long it had been since she’d done such a large business deal!
The proprietress tentatively asked, “Sir, are you sure you really want this much grain?”
“Yes.”
Hearing Cao Xing’s confirmation, the proprietress’s breath momentarily caught.
She looked at Cao Xing with a strong sense of affection rising in her eyes.
Then, the proprietress gently smiled and said, “My honorable guests, let me reintroduce myself, my name is Elena Green, thank you very much for supporting my business.”
After saying this, Elena Green bent slightly forward, bowing towards Cao Xing, revealing a white expanse on her chest and a very full cleavage.
Cao Xing didn’t have any particular thoughts, just nodded lightly.
The villager Dan beside him, however, gulped at the sight.
Elena straightened up and then earnestly said, “According to the amount of grain the sir requires, it will total 35,000 Crowns.”
“I’ll give you a bit more of a discount, let’s make it an 8.5 percent discount, and round off the total to 29,000 Crowns.”
After saying this, she looked at Cao Xing with gentle, watery eyes, “Sir, are you satisfied?”
Cao Xing nodded, “Alright, but I don’t have a carriage or horses to transport it, sell me one as well.”
Hearing this, Elena laughed lightly, “No problem, then it will be 30,000 Crowns, deal?”
“Deal.”
Cao Xing agreed readily, then took out a pile of coins, totaling 30,000 Crowns, and handed it to Elena.
Seeing so many Crowns, the allure in Elena’s eyes intensified.
Beside, the villager Dan’s eyes almost popped out!
This was the first time in his life seeing so much money.
Elena laughed softly again, “Then, dear guests, please wait a moment, I will arrange for people to load the carriage for you.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Alright, we’ll stroll around the village a bit more and come back later to take the grain.”
