After I retired from the navy, I became a wife lover

Orange Town is a medium-sized port town. It was originally just an ordinary town. It was not developed until it was selected as a logistics base by the Navy.

The entire town covers an area of ​​less than ten square kilometers. There is a naval logistics base and a civilian port. Its prosperity can be considered barely in the East China Sea, and it is a bit remote.

Merchants in the East China Sea often use the town's port as a supply point, and unknown pirates also frequent the town.

It can be said that there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons in Juzi Town, and when the navy is in charge of patrolling in broad daylight, order is barely maintained.

There are many stalls on both sides of the market, and there is a lot of people, and there is an endless stream.

Many vendors set up stalls selling fish skins, seafood, weapons, ancient relics, and more, including some known as treasure map fragments.

Quite a few thick men with swords across their waists were swearing and haggling over the price, and they didn't look like good people at first glance.

In addition, you can occasionally see murlocs with fish fins on their bodies and weird heads wandering in the street. Most of them also carry swords and weapons, and they look a bit creepy.

After all, it was the early days of the great pirate era, and the pirates in the East China Sea were rampant enough to dare to hang out under the eyes of the navy.

This also proves that today's world governments and navies have weak control over the East China Sea, so that pirates are running around in front of the navies.

Martin was not surprised by this, and went straight to a large grocery store in the center of the town. There was a signboard of "Kim Trading" hanging on the door of the grocery store.

This large grocery store is like a small supermarket. The cabinets on the left are full of various foods, and the right is full of various nautical equipment, exuding a mixed aroma. The counter in the middle is full of weapon consumables such as swords and steel ingots, which looks a bit different. .

Martin tapped the countertop with his index finger: "Boss Kim, give me 100 dried sea prawns, 10 large hams, 10 turkeys, plus 100 catties of white fish, and 200 catties each of rice and flour." , three cans each of pepper, chili, salt, caviar, blueberry sauce, and plum sauce."

The fat boss Kim, who was buried in the abacus behind the counter, immediately raised his head with a smile on his fat face: "So it's Warrant Officer Martin, welcome..."

"I've resigned from the Navy, just call me Martin from now on."

Martin reminded.

With the sound of the abacus crackling, Kim quickly raised his head: "A total of two hundred and eighty-four thousand eight hundred and fifty Baileys!"

"What? Two hundred and eighty-four thousand eight hundred . . . Bailey?"

After hearing this, Martin's expression almost didn't tense: "Hey, Kim, are you kidding me? Why did the price increase so much suddenly? Usually, so much food can be bought for 150,000 Baileys, which almost doubled. .”

Kim quickly explained: "You don't know, the price of raw materials in the town has increased too much recently, and the price of all ingredients has increased. I have no choice but to do so. Now the price is the same in the market. If you don't believe me, you can go to other places to ask. .”

"I heard that sea monsters often attack fishing boats and grain boats. Many people are afraid of capsizing, so they simply reduce transportation and fishing. In addition, the number of pirate attacks on merchant ships has increased a lot recently, causing many goods to be transported poorly. price increase."

Damn...

In addition to the sea monster, the pirates also followed suit, this is the rhythm of disrupting the entire East China Sea.

Presumably, that sea monster is the king of the sea who bit off one arm of the future four emperors, the red-haired Shanks.

I don't know if Shanks has been bitten off the opponent's arm now.

Speaking of which, getting married cost him a lot of money, and now it is not enough to buy food, and he has become a pauper in an instant.

This world is really messed up.

"Martin, do you want more of this food?"

Kim looked at Martin, who had bulging veins on his forehead, and asked tentatively.

"I want it, wrap it all up and have someone deliver it to my home."

Martin gritted his teeth: "Also, look at my knife."

Kim sighed with some embarrassment: "Martin, as I said before, this shop doesn't accept ordinary knives, there are too many of them."

Martin handed over the knife wrapped in cloth: "I have two knives here, both of which are sharp."

"They're all sharp knives?"

Kim reached out to take the bag and weighed it, with a very surprised expression on his face.

He opened the cloth bag, picked up the two blades lying in it, looked at them carefully, his eyes gradually widened, and then stretched out his fingers and flicked the blades, making the blades make a light and crisp sound, while listening attentively.

"This knife pattern, this material, this sound, this smoothness... are really fast knives. One of the knives has a beautiful pattern and a better sound. It can be regarded as a high-quality fast knives, and the other one is not bad among fast knives!"

After carefully examining the two knives, Kim's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Martin, how are you going to sell them?"

Martin said casually: "You can see and give it. We are old acquaintances, as long as the price is fair."

Kim raised his hand and cracked his abacus: "According to the market price, a high-quality sharp knife is 350,000 Baileys."

"Ordinary sharp knives are usually priced at 100,000 to 150,000 Baileys. This knife is of good quality. I will charge you at the price of 200,000 Baileys."

"It adds up to a total of 550,000 Baileys. I will deduct a fraction from the money for buying food and calculate 280,000 Baileys. If you calculate this way, you can get 270,000 Baileys."

"do you think it's OK?"

"Okay, let's make a deal."

"Martin, may I ask, you suddenly took out the sharp knife this time, and even forged a high-quality sharp knife. Could it be a breakthrough in forging skills?"

While counting the banknotes, Kim asked with a smile.

Looking at the other party with a smile on his face, Martin nodded: "Yes, I made a breakthrough by luck, and I am already an intermediate blacksmith!"

Kim's smile was even brighter: "Martin, I did see the right person, congratulations..."

"Let me tell you a gossip that the navy has recently controlled the transportation channels of materials such as iron ingots and steel ingots. Especially the control of military materials such as steel ingots will become more and more strict, and there will be a lot of room for price increases in the future."

Martin understood that Kim wanted to curry favor with him and sell him favors. After thinking about it, he simply pushed back a few wads of banknotes, took out all his money, and asked Kim for some iron ingots for 400,000 Baileys. A large number of steel ingots and two hundred catties of coke.

Iron ingots are not worth much. One hundred catties of iron ingots cost 20,000 Berries. The price of steel ingots has started to rise, which is several times that of iron ingots. Now it is about 80,000 Berries per hundred catties.

Iron ingots need to be tempered by themselves. Generally, they are only used to forge ordinary swords. Steel ingots can be used directly by swordsmiths. Coke, the main raw material for sharp knives, may be out of stock recently.

Coming out this time is really empty pockets, penniless!

Fortunately, the supplies are in place.

"Martin, come to our store more often in the future, I will give you a discount that others don't have..."

Before the words were finished, a big black shoelace came flying through the air. Martin felt a strong wind coming from behind him, so he turned his head sideways to avoid it.

As a result, the shoe hit Kim's face, smashing the opponent's face with mud, and he took two steps back.

who?

Dare to engage in a sneak attack?

Martin turned around abruptly, put his hand on Qianben Sakura's knife handle at his waist, and was about to draw the knife!
