Chapter 273 A Win-Win Transaction
Chapter 273 A Win-Win Transaction
After sifting through the scraps and garbage he didn't need in the space ring, Liu Chi waved his hand and the dim room was suddenly filled up.
After Liu Chi's transformation, nearly eighty cubic meters of waste and garbage in a room were all transformed into furs like the one he was wearing.
After finishing all this, Liu Chi returned to the kitchen and happened to see the old man serving the first wave of dishes, so Liu Chi lent a hand and together with the young man and the old man served nine roasted rabbits.
Seeing Liu Chi and others serving the dishes, Johnny's smile instantly disappeared. He didn't know why the twins were like a pair of mutes, not saying a word, but Catherine next to him kept chatting with him about random things.
After Liu Chi placed the tray in his left hand in front of Catherine, he sat down on Catherine's right side, holding his own tray in both hands.
After serving the dishes, the old man and the young man returned to the kitchen and continued to make delicious dishes.
"Brother Johnny, do you want to confirm the goods we just agreed on? They are in this store."
Johnny quickly scanned the faces of the three women and immediately laughed.
"Little brother, why don't we talk about this topic later? I can't help you unconditionally, right?"
"Oh? So what does Big Brother Johnny want?"
After meeting Liu Chi, Catherine calmed down and asked directly with a smile.
"Ha ha!"
Johnny laughed.
"We're all eating at the same table, but Johnny, I don't even know the names of the three young ladies. Don't you think this is a bit embarrassing?"
"I'm Catherine, and these are the twin maids, Xiaobai and Xiaojin."
After hearing the three people call out their names, Johnny's eyes lit up, and he was able to distinguish Xiaobai and Xiaojin from the subtle difference in their hair color.
"Nice to meet you! It would be great if I could make friends with you all. From now on, in this area of Hull, if you mention my name, you will get discounts on transactions, meals, and accommodations."
As he spoke, Johnny took out a piece of jade with a gold edge from his waist pocket, on which were engraved five daggers.
"Of course, just stating my name is not enough. I also need this identification tag."
After seeing the jade token in Johnny's hand, Liu Chi immediately knew the nature of the organization Johnny was in. An organization involved in multiple industrial chains could be so blatant. The power behind it must be considerable, at least able to pass the kingdom.
"So what does Brother Johnny mean?"
Catherine asked,
"How about you stop being traveling merchants and join our organization once you've dealt with your goods?"
"Agree with him!"
Just as Catherine hesitated, Liu Chi's voice came in her mind.
"I understand what Johnny means, but~"
As she spoke, Catherine's expression changed from joy to embarrassment.
"But what?"
Johnny looked at Catherine with a smile and asked with concern,
"I just arrived in the capital today. I want to have some fun and prepare for settling down here in the future."
Johnny was delighted when he heard Catherine's words. Doesn't this mean she agreed?
"Okay, okay! Since the young lady wants to play in the imperial capital, I, Johnny, volunteer to be your bodyguard. Please don't refuse me."
Catherine curled her lips slightly and hesitated for a while.
"Let's get rid of our goods first. Such good furs will lose their value if they are piled up for too long, and our organization will suffer losses."
When Johnny heard that there was a play, he immediately smiled and said,
"Since you are interested, then just hand over your goods directly to the organization, and we will pay you as salary when the time comes."
When Liu Chi heard Johnny's words, his jaw dropped. How could there be such an unreasonable request?
"I won't do that. I have to get paid today!"
Seeing Catherine's angry look, Johnny became happy. This was exactly what he wanted, a woman whom he could control with money.
"Well, let's make a deal. I'll take a look at your goods after dinner and buy them at a price lower than the market price. Is that ok?"
Catherine nodded, cut a small piece of meat from the roasted hare on the plate with her knife and fork, and put it into her mouth.
After that, no one spoke again until lunch was over, and the old man served four dishes in succession, trying his best to use up all the ingredients in the kitchen.
Seeing that Catherine had finally finished eating, Johnny, who had been smiling the whole time, spoke up.
"Miss, since you don't want to talk during dinner, can we talk about business now?"
"Yes! Ask him! He is my butler."
Catherine gestured to Liu Chi.
Liu Chi stood up from his seat.
"Brother Johnny, come with me over here and take a look at the goods."
Johnny raised his eyebrows and stood up reluctantly. He had no good feelings towards Liu Chi at all.
Afterwards, Catherine and Johnny were led by Liu Chi to the empty room full of garbage.
"Here is our cargo!"
After saying that, Liu Chi took out a small light stone from his pocket. Under the illumination of the light stone, the dim room suddenly became bright.
Johnny looked at the furs in front of him and his eyes suddenly lit up. As someone who often dealt with merchants, he naturally knew that these were all top-quality goods.
"Can I take a look?"
"Please feel free to do as you please, Johnny. I have confidence in our goods. I came all the way to Hull just to make a good profit from it."
In order to prevent the furs from being replaced, Johnny used brute force to turn over all the furs in the room.
Seeing Johnny's behavior, Liu Chi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, his ability to transform his soul was strong now, otherwise he would be doomed if he was exposed.
After a quick search, Johnny nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, I think this batch of materials is just average quality. I'm a good person, so just treat it as a loss and buy it at a medium price."
Catherine didn't know that the fur in front of her was transformed from garbage, and her true feelings were revealed for a moment.
"No, these are all monster furs, top-quality goods! How can you buy them as medium-quality goods?"
Seeing that Catherine was not satisfied, Johnny looked embarrassed and started to fool her.
"Miss, you don't know this. Although these furs are indeed top-quality goods in your Western Continent, the environment and people's needs are different in each region, so this batch of goods can only be considered mid-range goods in the Southern Continent, and they may not be easy to sell. You can't let Johnny be the dumb one who suffers the loss, can you?"
Seeing Johnny's serious deception, Liu Chi had an indescribable feeling in his heart, funny and angry.
"That's right! Miss, we can't just give up like this. Look, Brother Johnny has already said that this batch of medium-quality goods is not easy to sell. So we asked Brother Johnny to help us buy them."
Hearing Liu Chi's personal advice, Catherine nodded and stopped talking. Since Liu Chi said so, based on her understanding of Liu Chi, this deal would only make money.
Seeing Liu Chi trying to please him so sensibly, Johnny, who had always been unhappy with him, also smiled and patted Liu Chi's shoulder heavily.
"Little brother, what a good housekeeper!"
Hearing this double irony, Liu Chi also laughed.
"Isn't this all thanks to Brother Johnny?"
"Well, I don't like people flattering me!"
