Noble Husband At the Door

"The weather is too hot. Although we have a lot of ice, unfortunately, it has melted a lot."

"According to the rules and our profits, we estimate that the price should be at least ten times higher before we can maintain the cost. However..."

Ten times the price. After this morning's business transaction, the price had continuously risen to ten amethysts per kilogram. If one were to double the price, that would be a hundred amethysts in total.

But how long can a kilogram of ice last in such an environment?

It probably wouldn't last more than an hour.

How could this be?

Some people had calculated that it would take at least dozens of kilograms of ice to spend a day peacefully. If the price were to be increased by ten times, it was estimated that many people would have their wallet dug out.

"But we also know that if we sell it at ten times the price, everyone may be able to afford it today, but what about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow!"

"I heard from Samuel that such weather will last for at least a week."

A week?

The group of people became even more annoyed. After all, this week really made them feel dizzy.

It should be noted that today's consumption was almost all the money they had earned in a day, and the price of ice was still rising. As time went by, it was not as simple as spending all their money. It was enough to make most people die directly.

"Thus, we changed our strategy."

"We can make money. After all, we do business, but we can't make black-hearted money, let alone the money for your lives."

"However, we are still discussing the strategy, so you might need to wait a little longer."

Someone hastily asked, "Then how long do we have to wait?"

"I can't tell you for the time being, because we need to discuss it with each other. As you all know, we can't only have a shopkeeper. After all, buying ice costs such a big sum of money, so the result needs to be discussed by several bosses. It may be discussed in a while. Maybe it will be difficult for everyone to reach a consensus, and it will be delayed for a longer time..."

"But don't worry, everyone. We will do our best to give everyone a satisfactory answer as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man put the wooden sign saying closed back on the table, got up, and went back.

All of a sudden, the crowd burst into an uproar.

It was such a hot day, but they couldn't buy ice all of a sudden. Wasn't that equivalent to taking their lives?

How could this be?

"Why... why did you suddenly do this?"

"Yeah, they still have to negotiate. If this discussion goes on for too long, then... then wouldn't we have to continue waiting? It doesn't matter if we wait, but the problem is that this damn hotness won't stop because we're waiting."

"Yeah, think about it. In the next few hours or even longer, we will be exposed to this stuffy heat. Isn't... isn't this going to kill us?"

Grief filled the air. Many people wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Let's go look for the city lord and ask him to think of a solution. Otherwise, many of us will die before they can finish their discussion."

"What's the use of looking for the City Lord? It's reasonable for them to sell ice. Since the City Lord is here, he can only be waiting here and have no choice."noveldrama

That's right, if one was a little more rational, it would be very clear that whether the merchants were deliberately delaying because they didn't want to sell ice, but on the surface, they had a very reasonable reason.

No matter how one put it, the other held the absolute truth.

Right at this moment, along with a loud shout, the City Lord arrived....
