Chapter 210: Buying in the tribe market
Darian in the morning after taking a bath, sat at the table while eating some wheat with fish.
This time he hadn’t decided to have breakfast with Einar’s family because he had gotten up earlier than usual.
This with the intention of being able to buy anything that was in the market of the tribe that was developing that day.
Although he knew that he would not find merchandise as impressive as the one Einar had, it was always a good idea to buy some trinkets and things that were no longer desired by the tribesmen.
Many times in the past he had managed to get some good things, like bone ornaments or some furniture made from good quality wood.
‘I hope that today I can find some high-quality things. I still have the pine table I bought last year.
Not to mention, my wife really liked the wooden decorations I bought that time. Maybe I can find something of value. ‘
After thinking those words, Darían looked at the smoke coming out of his plate of wheat with fish and taking a wooden spoon. He tasted his breakfast.
When the wheat touched his taste buds, he felt a little tasteless, so he sighed a little ‘I think I should use some of the high quality salt that Einar gave me’
From the table he took a small bag which he opened and revealed a completely white salt, which did not have any kind of impurity, leaving only completely white grains.
‘This salt will be a good product to sell in the city, as a luxury item for the nobles or rich merchants it will be easy to sell this white salt …
Just the taste is something delicious. ‘
Putting some of the white salt in her food bowl, Darían used her spoon to mix the contents thoroughly until there was no longer a trace of the salt.
After this he took a good bite of his breakfast and could only close his eyes with enough pleasure “This salt is something worthwhile, I will never eat that yellow and bitter salt again.”
When he finished breakfast, he took a deep breath and took the last drink of his Pino tea, leaving his cup on the table, got up and went to the door because he did not want to delay any longer.
As he left, his two trusted guards greeted him and then began to walk towards the center of the town.
“I hope you have brought my chest with coins, since I do not know how much I can spend on the items. Remember better than missing.”
The two guards sat down and continued walking behind Darían. When they finally reached the center of the village, they realized that there were already numerous posts being prepared.
There was also a great influence of people who came and went carrying different kinds of materials. Seeing the many stalls that there were, Darían began to walk to the first one, which caught his attention.
The position that was being attended by a beautiful woman with golden hair and green eyes who was placing some wooden figures. She raised her head when she felt that someone was watching.
They would give to see the beautiful face of the woman he could only smile “Sorry if I bother you but I could see the beautiful wooden figurines that you are selling and I was wondering if I could buy some of them?”
The woman nodded and with a movement of her hand began to take out of a bag the different figurines that she had, so that she could see them. Darían “All these pieces of wood were sculpted by my husband. They have a cost of 3 silver coins for each of them.
To make them, he used exclusively the best pine wood he could find. “
They would tell who was listening the woman took one of the figurines and began to see in more detail while stroking his beard “It is an excellent craft but if you do not mind because the price is so high, as I understand the price last year was 2 silver coins.
What makes these figures have a higher value. “
The woman smiled and took one of the figurines that had the shape of a winter fox “The figurines are more expensive because if you pay attention to the eyes you will notice that they have glass, also if you compare them with the figures you could buy In the past year you will notice that the craftsmanship improved quite a bit.
You can see it, for example, in the outline and in the details of the fur that this fox figure has. “
Using his hand, he showed all the details of the figurine to Darían, who, realizing the details and the peculiar eyes that the figurines had, could only nod silently.
“I have to admit that it is a great improvement on the previous figurines, but how about if we make a deal, I buy all your figurines and pay you two gold coins and 50 copper coins for each one of them.
Because at this time I may not have so many copper coins in case my debt has any copper coins present, I will give you a silver coin in compensation for those 50 copper coins.
What do you think of my deal? “
The woman was quiet for a few moments before smiling and nodding her head “I think it’s an excellent deal. Do you want the figurines delivered right now or do you want someone to come and get them?”
Darian frowned in doubt. “Although I would like to take the figurines with me, I think I will let one of my crew members
come for them, because I have many things to buy and I don’t think I can bring them all in my hands.
Just tell me how much it would be in total so that I can pay you my wooden figurines. “
Einar, who was buying some food for the preparation of breakfast, could only smile when he saw Darían in the distance ‘I think I can be sure that he will end up accepting my deal in a few more days …’
