Chapter 123: Cloud Shadow in February 1998
Cloud Shadow in February 1998
The monitor lizard Awang launched us from the market and carried us to the island. The boat that was originally used to travel to and from the island was sent to the shop for repair. It will be the main tool for us to land on the island in the future.
The original owner of the island was very domineering in this area. Even without the support of legal documents, the lake turned out to be his property. The surrounding residents knew this. Other people's boats can't be launched. Even children know that people are not welcome to play in this lake area. This is a private territory.
After I purchased the property rights of the island and went to the city hall for the record, the island became my private property, and the entire lake was naturally inherited into my hands.
There is nothing to criticize about my behavior. There are hundreds of lakes like this in the Zhongcheng Lake District. Compared with the big lake with rich products across the street, our side is a barren and calm lake. Let the life around you not have any coveted heart.
We just lived on the island and started our new imperial life.
Tidying up the house is a big project and I can't live in a Silencia building with only ventilation ducts and no windows, so the first thing I did when I moved into my new home was a major renovation , At this time, we live on an isolated island far away from our neighbors, and we don’t have to worry about other people’s eyes, so I am extraordinarily reckless about the renovation of the house.
In fact, I didn't make it too exaggerated. I just dragged the original stone house on the island like fudge, and made it a replica of our home in the small county in another world.
Street shops, yards, gardens, basements, two-story buildings, greenhouses... The exteriors of the houses are all in the style of Helencia's hexagonal crystal columns. With the sharp corners of the courtyard walls, they are very similar to other buildings in the city. It is unified, but its core is a small county town from another world. I have repeatedly fine-tuned it according to the home I am familiar with, and perfectly re-engraved the small courtyard that I just left recently in another world in a new style.
I'm not familiar enough with the imperial capital. I'm probably not used to their daily necessities. I plan to purchase the furniture, bedding and daily necessities from another world.
The room corresponding to my parents' bedroom on the first floor is now my bedroom. The flowerbed outside the crystal window is bare, and the lack of plants is very discouraging. The fountain and pool in the yard are not perfect. I have seen shops selling sculptures in the city. I'm going to buy a ready-made one and don't want to pinch it myself.
I have already decorated the second floor, just like my own room in the opposite world. There is a small living room next to the bedroom, and a large crystal greenhouse study on the other side. The bookshelves are still empty, and the large table is also empty.
The second floor is prepared for my son Wang Jerry. His father's favorite little world, and it will be his place in the future.
Wang Jierui's squeamish bag is definitely not in use now. He recently changed to a new environment. He had to hug the baby and squeeze into his father's arms before listening to the story before he was willing to sleep. I knew it would take a while for him to get used to it, so I tolerated his petty temper.
Since it is a replica of the county yard, naturally even the street-side canteen has been "copied". The original canteen's room is divided into two, and they are the residences of Julie and Lanze. The facilities are complete, and they are both satisfied.
I have been curious for a long time, Lan Ze is a rare handsome young man in our Shanghe Village, and Julie is also a popular girl, but these two don’t know what is wrong, they are very lively when they talk to me, They rarely communicate with each other.
I thought they would come together before. After all, the relationship between young men and women in Shanghe Village is casual. They are full of energy, and it is normal for them to be attracted to each other under the action of hormones.
Unexpectedly, neither Lan Ze nor Julie have any interest in each other. They have never had a relatively close interaction. I can even feel that they exude that kind of deliberate distance from each other.
There are not many people in the imperial capital who look like us. It is very difficult for Lan Ze or Julie to find a same-race partner to form a family and have children, so we have to go back to Gotham in a few years, not only to visit relatives in Shanghe Village Visiting friends, and in order for these two and Ah Fu and Ana to find a suitable partner, don't delay me here.
I can't tell when the change in my thinking started, probably since Liang Jiangbo fell in love, and since last year, my heart started to get old, and I always wanted to "arrange" others and make plans for their future. .
The renovation of the courtyard was not completed until the end of the month to my satisfaction. Sitting on the reclining chair in the courtyard, stroking the little vulture lying on my belly, watching Wang Jerry throw a ball and play with Ah Fu and Ana, living a lazy and comfortable life.
Agamat is always dark, and my son and I have adapted to such a life. I often think that it doesn't seem to matter whether there is light or not.
It's comfortable to sleep in the yard, and you never have to worry about getting wet in the rain, because it doesn't rain in Agamat at all, and the roof and walls are okay if it weren't to keep the animals flying in the dark.
Agama has a unique wind, but the wind is always soft and soothing. The city relies on the power of magic to pour fresh air into the underground city, maintaining its suitable temperature and cool and dry environment.
The waves churned, the ground trembled slightly, and the hill-like monitor lizards came out of the water and climbed to the shore. After a while, Lan Ze also came ashore from the water. He was naked and wore nothing, and lay down beside me with the water droplets on his hair. On the reclining chair, I waved to the notepad on the stone table and wrote down the purchase of swimming trunks.
Lan Ze's flat belly and strong waist are very beautiful. If he were in a school in another world, he would definitely attract the attention of many people.
The water temperature of our lake is basically constant, 27 or 8 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for swimming. Lanze can swim and swim once or twice a day. Longshan monitor lizard Awang spends a lot of time every day. They are all cruising in the open lake, rampaging like a big water monster with waves, reluctant to think about Shu.
I'm not very good at swimming. There are swimming lessons in the school. The one I'm more familiar with is breaststroke. Relying on my physical fitness, I got full marks in swimming, but compared to those students who grew up in the south, I'm still far behind. Far.
The water in the lakes around our island is living water, very clear, and there is no odor in it. It is much more comfortable than the choking pool at my school. Recently, I also like to hold my son and jump into the water with Fu and Ana from the small pier. Play.
Wang Jierui can swim. We used to have a pool in our yard when we were in Luhe Village. When the weather was hot in summer, I would hold him and soak in the pool. The little guy was always happy and splashed.
Now he swims very fast in the water, using both hands and feet, sometimes as fast as me.
The little vulture doesn't like water. When we play in the water, it squats on the small pier and chirps. Sometimes it flaps its wings and falls on our head or shoulders when it comes out of the water, trying to "rescue" us out.
Ah Fu and Ana are also good swimmers. The two brothers and sisters live a comfortable life here like a vacation. In addition to walking on the island every day, they swim in the lake. When they see me resting, they come over to accompany me. Throwing out the things floating on the water and letting them pick it up is a rare interaction and play.
To tell the truth, a leisurely day is really leisurely, but boring is also really boring.
However, I am very grateful for the leisurely and boring days now. We have traveled long distances to leave Gotham to live a peaceful and stable life now. After gaining a firm foothold here, our life will get better and better, and everything is worth looking forward to.
I have a lot of time, and I am not in a hurry at all. Since I lived on Huxin Island, I seldom go out and run my own small home with peace of mind.
I am calm, the people in the pharmacy are naturally anxious, they are the ones who ask me, I can't give them the glass making process for nothing, they know very well, but they can't rashly spend a lot of money to get what I want. Give me the space package. After all, no one can say whether the glass is worth the price, so after thinking about it, they agreed to temporarily take the glass bottle from me by "selling it on behalf of others", and then get the commission after selling the medicine.
There are two kinds of currencies used by Agamat. The cheap one is gold, and the one with the highest purchasing power is a crescent-shaped alloy coin containing a trace amount of Silencia steel. The ratio of gold to silver is about three to seven. The pattern is very beautiful, the hardness is high and wear-resistant. At first glance, it looks a bit like dumplings. The exchange rate with gold coins is about 1:40. The alloy smelting technology and casting technology are all state secrets, and counterfeiters will be beheaded. .
The glass bottle I delivered to the pharmacy is very delicate and regular. Not only does the bottle have the traditional Cylencia crystal cluster pattern and the pharmacy logo, but the stopper is also a high-quality product that has been frosted to ensure that the potion will not leak. "Jiaozi", the pharmacy will add twenty gold coins after filling the medicine, so that the original price of a bottle of ordinary potion has skyrocketed by one and a half "Jiaozi".
Sounds like an exaggeration, in fact not much, gold was never a "precious metal" either in Cylencia or Gotham, in this world it is stable and widely available, cheaper than copper and iron, if not for it's poisonous Heavy and soft, the poor even used it as a bowl.
Good steel is used on the blade, only new bottles are used in the pharmacy for premium potions.
People look at the clothes, and medicines look at the packaging. They are also medicines. Under the circumstance that there is not much difference in their medicinal properties, a poor rough porcelain bottle is compared with a delicate glass bottle to make a judgment.
Not only the shape, but the fine texture of the glass also made the two pharmacists in the store adore it.
Crude porcelain contains a lot of impurities and there are many holes in itself, which makes the storage time of the medicine very short, and it is easy to lose its effect or even become toxic.
The glass bottle is dense, smooth and stable in nature. After storing the medicine, it can be better isolated from the air, and the storage time is significantly longer. The advantages are extremely obvious.
The excellent shape of glass bottles is also a major selling point. After all, I have many years of experience in opening a canteen to sell handicrafts. The glass bottles I made are beautiful in shape and uniform in size, and they are pleasing to the eye when they are placed in rows on the shelves. When Asians rubbed the bottle, they could feel the warm, oily, and crystal-like texture, so how could they not be liked?
The glass bottled medicine was well received upon its launch. The third-rate apothecary store, which was not very conspicuous in the imperial capital, was able to gain the limelight by relying on the high-end products with exquisite packaging. Thirty bottles of medicines in glass bottles were sold for the first time. And it was empty, the price of the additional glass bottle doubled after the emergency replenishment, and reaching the three corners did not affect people's love for the new material medicine bottle at all. Provided more glass bottles, his hands were shaking with excitement: "Mr. Kain, we're going to send it!"
"You didn't reveal the origin of the bottle?"
"That's necessary!" The fat boss bared his fangs. Swear and swear: "How can I cut off my fortune?"
Several other pharmacies in the capital saw that the price of the original medicine jumped dramatically due to the new medicine bottle. Otherwise, they would not be bold enough to accept "Steel of the Sky" from me. In short, they withstood the pressure and urgently came to me to negotiate a new way of cooperation.
The efficiency of my production of medicines is too low. I can only provide three per day, which is not enough to sell. Now there are people in the store who are willing to pay more than five times the price of gem medicine bottles. Other stores have also obtained gem medicine bottles from various channels. , began to research and imitate, if our output can not be raised, in the end we can only make wedding clothes for others.
Can they be in a hurry? Time is money, time is life!
My conditions remain the same, I want the craftsmanship of glass, give me a space package, I don't want a big one, one cubic meter is enough.
"My lord Kain! Please, change the conditions! The space package is a controlled material, and each one on the record is worth hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. We sold our pharmacy and the pharmacist went to be a pharmacist. Slaves are not worth so much money, you are a giant lizard!" Finally, seeing me coming to the pharmacy again, the boss couldn't help crying.
"Then I don't care, my bottom line is a space package. I said, I don't care if there is a record, even if it is one of the parties. If you don't give me a space package, I will definitely not hand out the formula, you can try to grab it from me. "I am very firm.
"Oh my lord, you have meritorious deeds and you are a friend of the Alba family. Who dares to challenge you? But your price is too high. We also accept the formula to make money. You can't let us Doing a loss-making business?"
Our words seemed to be denying the other party's proposal, but in fact we were also negotiating a reserve price.
"Losing business? No, you haven't asked me the cost price of the glass bottle." I smiled.
"Didn't you say that the cost of the gem bottle is a dime?" The boss opened his narrowed eyes, and even used honorifics.
"Do you believe it?" I smiled at him.
"Cough, of course I know you can make some money, but..." He rubbed his hands and spread it out, saying that the bottom line of the cost of these precision containers is there, and no matter how cheap they are, they can't be so low, just like coarse porcelain bottles, although the storage effect is poor. , but it is also better than a stone-carved vase, and the cost of rough porcelain is not less than ten gold coins, because Helencia does not produce porcelain clay at all, and it has to be brought back by sea.
"If I tell you that the materials of glass bottles are all over the Evernight Promenade, and the cost is close to zero, do you think this formula is worth a space package?"
"!!!?" The drugstore owner opened his mouth and took a step back. .
"Go get me a space bag, it's okay if you don't have a record, this time you've made a lot of money."
"But..." The drugstore owner's heart beat faster, and he hesitated: "But..."
"The material is the eternal night crystal . The crystal dust after the explosion, this thing is everywhere in the entire Eternal Night Promenade, and it is inexhaustible." I raised my hand to stop what he was about to say: "I know that the crystal dust is ordinary gray-white stone after smelting, then It is because there are impurities in it, I happen to have a method to remove impurities, and the cost is very low, I will not run away here, so I will not lie to you, bring the space bag, and you will see the method."
Pharmacy The boss went out in a hurry, and I also went out and rode A Fu slowly home.
I will come again tomorrow, I believe they will give me a satisfactory answer.
