Chapter 20 Cities
"This person should not be a mute. I guess he just doesn't understand the language here. You can tell that his outfit is not from here."
"How is it possible? I don't understand the language here, why are you here? I think you are mute." The person who spoke was the boss next to me.
Yes, at this time, Ye Junwen suddenly understood everything the other party said, just as if these people were using Chinese. Ye Junwen probably understood it. As expected, the analysis of the ring was completed, and then he automatically translated the other party's language into Chinese and other things. This black technology is too powerful. It really sounds like Chinese. Moreover, everyone's voice is his own, but the language has changed.
But I understood it and said it myself. Ye Junwen looked at the few people who were passionately arguing whether he was a mute, and tried and asked, "Uh... that, you..."
"Huh?" Several people looked at Ye Junwen with surprise. One of them was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "You... can't you speak."
"Ahem, I just learned what I said, I don't know if it's good." Ye Junwen thought for a while and said in Chinese. Yes, he was a little different from them anyway, and the other party saw that he was a foreigner, so he simply recognized his identity as a foreigner.
"Isn't this a good thing? Your pronunciation doesn't seem to have just learned it." The other party said immediately.
"Is that so? It seems that I still have some talent in language." Ye Junwen nodded. It seemed that this ring could directly translate what he said into the other party's language. He was obviously speaking Chinese, but the other party said that he was speaking very well. It seemed that he should have no problem with communication.
"That guy, what is this thing? It's so delicious." At this time, the other party took out Lao Gan Ma again and asked Ye Junwen.
"Is it delicious?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Of course, this is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. It's a little...spicy, but...it's so good to wear on the naan bread, it's delicious!" The man directly liked it wildly, and the other three nodded immediately to express their agreement.
Ye Junwen nodded, and the response was indeed good, so he replied: "This thing is called Lao Gan Ma. I brought it from outside. I came here this time to sell this thing here."
"Sales? Brother, are you a businessman?" asked someone here.
"Yes." Ye Junwen nodded, now he is a businessman.
"Oh, no wonder, you should be from a big chamber of commerce," said the other party.
"Oh? Where did you see it?" Ye Junwen asked.
"Look at the materials used on the clothes you are wearing, you can tell that they are rich."
"Ha?" Ye Junwen looked at the clothes he was wearing. Yes, he chose the most dirt and torn clothes he could buy. If he wore them like this on earth, others might think you were a brick or beggar. Unexpectedly, you are still considered a rich man here. It seems that it is true that it is related to craftsmanship. Ye Junwen looked at the clothes on the other party's several people. It looked like clothes made of thin ropes. There was no craftsmanship at all, and the gap was still very big.
"Yes, look at the ring on your hand, isn't it obvious?" said another person next to him.
Ye Junwen nodded. This is true. The only ring he wore on his hand was the ring that caused him to travel through time. There was a gem on it, which looked quite valuable.
However, the fact is that he only has those copper coins on him. Can he say he is rich? However, it is not easy to explain to these people, so Ye Junwen nodded directly: "It's not considered rich, but after all, he is a businessman and has some wealth."
"The first time I'm here, my brother?" the other party asked.
"Of course." Ye Junwen nodded, "My Chamber of Commerce sent me here to open up the market here. There should be a city nearby, what's the name...I..."
"You are talking about Ledeska City, right?" the opposite answered.
"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Junwen silently wrote down the name of the city, "I came to Ledeska City to develop. I heard that the business here is very developed, so I have made a lot of preparations for this."
"You're the only one?" the other party asked strangely.
"It hasn't officially started yet. I'm here to check out the situation here first. Do you know about the business investigation? It's to see if the products from our Chamber of Commerce can be sold here. When this matter is confirmed, I will submit a report here and of course I will officially settle in." Ye Junwen said.
"Then brother, are you a scout?" One of the people opposite asked with a smile.
"Yes, that's it simply." Ye Junwen nodded.
"That means, if your chamber of commerce settles in, can you buy this thing here?" The person next to him brought the topic to Lao Ganma again. It seemed that the other party really liked this thing.
"Yes, but it's not certain yet. I want to do some investigation first." Ye Junwen said, "If it's right, our chamber of commerce will come here to open a branch, and you will be able to buy this thing by then."
"How much does this thing cost?" the other party asked immediately, wishing to buy a bottle immediately.
"This is hard to say at the moment." Ye Junwen couldn't answer. He didn't know the purchasing power here, so he didn't consider pricing. "Price and other things must be done after the commercial investigation is over."
"I understand. There are many rich people here, so I can order higher orders, or something like that. The businessman is really..." said a person next to him. He didn't seem to be too accustomed to businessman when he heard his tone.
"This can is for you." Ye Junwen also said, then pointed to the direction of the road and asked, "You can go to Ledeska City by walking along this road."
"Yes." The other party nodded, "Just keep walking here, maybe we can arrive before the sun sets, we are going to set off, we will arrive in the city before dark."
"Let's go together, boy." The other person also asked.
"Okay, thank you." Ye Junwen thought about it and nodded. Yes, these people are still useful. They can still inquire about some information along the way. Of course, you must be careful not to miss any strange information.
"No, we thank you. This thing doesn't seem cheap. Generally speaking, we may really not be able to afford it." The other party pointed at Lao Ganma and said.
Ye Junwen smiled and said nothing, because he couldn't set the price at this time. In theory, the price of this thing should not be cheap. At least these civilians should not be able to afford this price. There is no way to do this. His own transportation capacity is limited and he cannot ship on a large scale. He can only take the higher-end route.
While talking, several people set off. Ye Junwen also asked a little, none of these four people were from the city, they were just people from nearby villages. They would go to the city to sell something regularly, this time just to sell things.
Of course, the things they sell are basically animal fur. They have farmland in their village, and they usually have to go up the mountain to hunt for their family income. Then, after basically all the hunting meat is eaten, the fur is sold in the city regularly, and then they will bring some things back. They will stay in the city for one night and then go back the next day.
Among the four, the leader is Dam, the son of the village chief. At the age of thirty, he is the biggest one here, and he is the leader. The other three are young people in the village. They are actually close to Ye Junwen, but it seems that they are ten years older than Ye Junwen. After all, the working people at the bottom are working hard.
Of course, they also asked Ye Junwen about his name. Ye Junwen didn't think of any pseudonyms, and told them directly that he was Ye Junwen. The other party felt a little curious about this name because the name was very different from their names. Of course, Ye Junwen also discovered that the names of these people sounded European and American styles, and it was indeed a bit different.
"I'm not from this country, what country did he come from?" the other party asked a little strangely.
"A country far away from you." Ye Junwen couldn't say anything, so he could only bring this transaction casually.
I don’t know if I realized that Ye Junwen didn’t want to say much, so these people didn’t ask questions. Ye Junwen quickly turned the topic to the business side, and wanted to know something about the situation in the city from these people’s mouths.
"We sell things. If we have special stores that we purchase, just look for them, and don't set up stalls." Dam replied, "If you want to open a store, you must first find the Lord and get his permission."
"That's it." Ye Junwen nodded. It turned out that if you open a store here, you have to go through the permission of the lord. Think about it, you have to apply for a license when opening a store on earth. After all, you have to collect taxes. If you don't register, you will be a black store. It should be the same here.
"Then the lord here is..." Ye Junwen asked.
"It's Lord Clovi, this is Lord Clovi's fiefdom." Dam said.
Although they knew that the lord was a man named Clovi, they didn't know how to see him. Yes, they were just civilians. Lord Clovi is a very distant existence for them. To be honest, they didn't know whether to open a store or not. In Ye Junwen's opinion, it should be enough to find his subordinates and those responsible for internal affairs and business. The lord will not care about opening a store like this, otherwise he wouldn't be busy.
