After a day of investigation, Bai Zhe discovered another extremely expensive product, matsutake mushrooms.
The price of matsutake mushrooms is high, and the residents of Mondstadt naturally know it.
This rare fungus is usually buried in pine forests. Its unique fragrance and delicious taste make it one of the delicacies favored by wealthy businessmen in Mondstadt.
However, few merchants come to collect this extremely rare fungus. Firstly, the yield is small, and secondly, it is easy to spoil.
The recycling price of fresh matsutake is not low. If it encounters monsters during transportation, it will cause more than a little damage.
As a result, the price of fresh matsutake has been rising year by year.
And Bai Zhe's goal is matsutake... dried, yes, dried matsutake.
Hunters in Qingquan Town go hunting. If they are lucky, they can bring back fresh matsutake mushrooms. They will stew matsutake mushrooms to share with their families. After all, there are no caravans to buy such things. It is a pity that the extra matsutake mushrooms will go bad. Naturally, they are dried and turned into matsutake mushrooms. Dry.
Although the taste of dried matsutake is not as good as that of fresh matsutake, the dried matsutake is extremely delicious, especially when used in soups.
But matsutake mushrooms are a rare thing, and residents definitely don’t have many reserves.
And what can the 7,000 molas in Bai Zhe's hands do? He found a caravan that came to buy wild boar meat and sold the star silver ore to the caravan at a low price, selling it at a price of 700 molas per kilogram. A total of 24 kilograms of star silver ore made a profit of 16,800 molas.
This is a huge amount of property. Adding the 7,500 molas given by Bennett, Bai Zhe now has 24,300 molas in his hand. Excluding daily planning expenses, the amount of molas that can be recycled from dried matsutake mushrooms is 20,000.
One coin only represents one mola. It is usually a check in the amount of 1,000, which is printed with the anti-counterfeiting stamp authorized by Mondstadt Bank. Even the paper of the check is specially made and turns green when exposed to water. Ordinary people also use this method. Verify authenticity.
The plan went smoothly, except that Bai Zhe had to go door to door to inquire about dried matsutake mushrooms. The residents of Qingquan Town were also very happy. For them, matsutake mushrooms were something they could eat occasionally, and it was very cost-effective to exchange them for Mora.
But when it comes to matsutake, the price won't be low, but if you only own a small amount, you'd be embarrassed to ask for a price if it's too small.
Bai Zhe recycles half a kilogram at a price of 2,500 molas. There seems to be no concept of a kilogram in Mondstadt, which means a kilogram costs 5,000 molas.
After three days of recycling like this, Bai Zhe only collected a little more than three kilograms of dried matsutake, which shows how rare this stuff is.
Bai Zhe looked at the dried matsutake mushrooms in the sheepskin bag. The cost of this thing was 5,000 per kilogram. Wouldn't it be worth selling it for 15,000 per kilogram?
Some people may say that Bai Zhe is crazy, but for the rich, they only eat expensive things and not the right ones. What I want is expensive, and what I want is something rare on the market.
Is 3 times profit excessive? Moreover, all the dried matsutake mushrooms in Qingquan Town were basically taken away by Bai Zhe, and the price was determined by Bai Zhe.
…
Bai Zhe has been in Qingquan Town for almost a week. It's time to sell the dried matsutake mushrooms on his body. The best place to sell them is undoubtedly Mondstadt City, a place where wealthy merchants are everywhere.
In one week, he turned 24 kilograms of star silver ore into three kilograms of dried matsutake mushrooms. The star silver ore is originally sold at a low price. According to the market price, it should be sold for 24,000 molad, but transportation and other costs still have to go into the city. Taxes aside, the profit is only 21,000.
But now it is lighter than the star silver ore, and the price is more profitable. The price of 45,000 is only the lowest price in Bai Zhe's heart, and it is just a conservative price.
I hope the rich people of Mondstadt will not let themselves down.
Fortunately, dried matsutake mushrooms are easy to store, so Bai Zhe was able to save some money for transportation. He could walk along the Cider Lake to Mondstadt without getting lost.
…
night.
Mondstadt is beautiful at night. It is a scenery that Bai Zhe has not seen for a long time on earth.
Under the bright moon, there were stars flickering.
It is surrounded by grassland and above the surface of Cider Lake.
It and the glowing moon illuminate the land of Mondstadt, making the dark night sky and dim earth clearly visible at night.
It was so beautiful and so mesmerizing.
...In human terms, there are so many fireflies.
But in this beautiful night scene, discordant shouts came out.
If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the roars of monsters and the shouts of people.
Bai Zhe climbed up a hillside to get a closer look at the situation.
A luxurious motorcade was attacked by a huge number of monsters. Looking at the number of monsters, Bai Zhe crossed his arms and shook his head indifferently.
It's none of your business, just hang it up high.
System: Trigger the emergency mission [The Troubles of Rich Businessman Goldi 1]. Please rescue Goldi who is in danger of life. Please repel the monsters to ensure Goldi’s life safety. Reward: [1000 experience] [50000 Mora]
"Fifty thousand...Mora, you system guy..."
Bai Zhe instantly took out the compound sword Suzaku from the system and drew the sword!
But you can't give up money for your life.
Back when he and Bennett were spending time in the forest, Bai Zhe had already reached level 5. Now the experience bar can only be upgraded when it reaches 400. At level 4, it is only 200.
How could Bai Zhe be in it just for the money? He must want them all!
…
"Captain! There are too many monsters! That Qiuqiu thug killed seven or eight of our brothers! If we don't leave, we will all stay here!"
"Shut up! Hold tight! We have set off signal fireworks, and those guys from the Knights of the West Wind will be here soon!"
The monsters, led by two Qiuqiu thugs, began to attack the convoy recklessly.
Just at a glance, there are more than a dozen Qiuqiu people, and there are also Qiuqiu people holding crossbows. You must know how dangerous the Qiuqiu people are with crossbows, but they are only less dangerous than Qiuqiu thugs! !
The guards of the motorcade guarded this gorgeous golden carriage and surrounded it.
But the guards looked like paper in front of Qiuqiu's thugs. When Qiuqiu's thugs struck with an ax, blood and flesh splattered, and the scene was frightening.
Some people were so frightened that they peed, their faces were pale, their bodies were shaking, and they couldn't even hold the weapons in their hands.
Under the attack of the monsters, there were very few guards, and even the captain died under the arrows of the Qiuqiu people.
boom! !
The huge body of Qiuqiu Thug collapsed, and the head of Qiuqiu Thug was completely chopped off.
For a moment, a rain of blood began to fall, dyeing everything around him red.
System: Kill [Qiuqiu Thug] and gain 100 experience points.
The man was like a phantom in the dark night, and the guards could only see the light and shadow of the sword flashing in the dark night, and the splatter of blood and stumps.
The leading Qiuqiu thug roared into the sky, seeming to send some kind of signal, and the monsters responded to his call and quickly fled from here.
On the land stained black by blood, the guards just looked at the figure of the person.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
A man was holding a long knife in his hand and laughing wildly towards the sky, making people terrified.
