"Nalant, what are you going to do now? I think you should close the store first!" After Catherine left, Boris frowned and made a suggestion.

Looking at the current situation, the best way is to close the store first, otherwise the crowd of onlookers will grow more and more later, and the products in the Nalant territory will no longer be sold to Tulip City.

If the store is closed now, the impact will not spread. At least civilian caravans will be able to sell Storm Territory products at Tulip City.

"It seems like this is the only way!" Nalant knew that this was the best way.

At this time, even if you go out and explain yourself as a lord, it will be useless, because people will not believe you at all.

It seems that he either rents out this shop to others to earn rent, or waits for a while before trying to open it.

"Asshole! We'll find out who it is later, so just wait!"

What Nalant wants most now is to find out who is behind the scenes. Although he thinks that it is most likely the hand of Aldin, he still needs to arrest someone to confirm.

With that said, he was about to stand up and let Rose close its doors temporarily.

"Hey, it smells so good and so familiar! Everyone, give way, please let me in!"

And just as Nalant stood up, a sound of surprise suddenly came from outside the door.

"Wow, it's really Brown Sugar Black Bread. Uncle Laurie, look, there's actually Brown Sugar Black Bread here, as well as salt and dried salted fish without sand."

The person who squeezed forward from the crowd was Laurie, the nephew of the grocery store, Kerr, the one who asked people at the toilet door if their breakfast was delicious.

"Is there Storm Territory's specialties in Tulip so soon?" Hearing this, Laurie also got in from the crowd.

"Boss, are you Storm Territory's store, or did you purchase the goods from Storm Territory?" When he saw the goods placed at the door, Laurie immediately confirmed that they were definitely from Storm Territory. However, the origin of this store could not be determined yet.

"This is our Lord Nalant's shop!"

"Oh, it's really Nalant's shop, so congratulations to Nalant!" Hearing Rose's answer, Laurie immediately congratulated him.

"Laurie·Grocery store, do you know them?" At this moment, a voice of inquiry came from beside Laurie.

Laurie heard the words and looked over, and found that he was an acquaintance, "Hey, stingy Sam, why are you here, haha, I understand, you must want to buy these products!"

"Then hurry up and buy it. Storm Territory's products are really good, cheap and exquisite!"

"Laurie·Grocery store, could it be that the salt and dried fish you sold yesterday were purchased from Land of Misfortune?" The businessman named Sam couldn't believe it.

"You are right. The goods I sold yesterday were purchased from Storm Territory, but that was not Land of Misfortune. It was a friendly and magical territory at that time. I have been to that territory no less than five or six times!" Laurie nodded in recognition, and also refuted Land of Misfortune's statement.

Now if Land of Misfortune was not under construction, Laurie would dare to spend a night there because the grilled oysters there are so delicious.

"Hehe, I'll let you know now, but Sam, don't think I was tricking you yesterday. There isn't a grain of sand in this snow-white salt. We only relied on trolleys and manpower to transport it from Storm Territory, so it's not an exaggeration to earn three more Copper Coin!"

Immediately, Laurie remembered that he sold the salt for ten Copper Coin yesterday, and immediately explained.

"This..." The businessman was stunned. He didn't expect to get such an answer from Laurie.

He also runs a grocery store, and Laurie has purchased goods from his store and sold them to Black Rock Territory, so they are quite familiar with each other and know that Laurie will definitely not lie to him.

In addition, yesterday he bought a lot of salt from Laurie for the price of a pack of ten Copper Coin.

Of course, he was going to eat the salt himself. After all, the price was the same, but there was no sand mixed in. This was very rare.

The reason why he dared to be the first to try to buy it just now was because he bought the salt yesterday.

Moreover, the price of the salt was even cheaper today. It only cost seven pieces of Copper Coin. He planned to buy some for sale. After all, his store was in South City, so the news did not spread that quickly.

However, I was startled just now by a few words from someone who didn't know who was making fun of me.

"Stingy Sam, don't you want to buy it? You don't buy it either?" Laurie·The grocery store finally noticed something strange. Although the crowd gathered around, no one bought it.

"Haha! Great, let me buy it then. Hey, boss, I am Laurie·grocery store of Black Rock Territory. I used to go to Storm Territory to purchase goods. The Thomas housekeeper and the Mario housekeeper all know me. Well, even Mr. Nalant has said hello to me!"

"Now I want to buy some goods from you to sell. I don't know if it is possible. The price can be the same as the selling price, and we promise not to sell it around here!"

Laurie made a lot of money from the goods he brought yesterday. Later, the bosses wanted to buy more, but he had no goods to sell to others!

"Who said I won't buy it? Laurie·Grocery store, you can't jump in line. Boss, give me the ten packs you promised before. I don't have enough money. After I take these back, I'll come back later to buy more!"

This time Sam gave up, quickly picked up the salt on the ground, and then handed over the money in his hand.

He tasted the salt he bought from Laurie yesterday that night. If there was any bad luck, something would have happened last night.

Moreover, he was already jealous that Laurie made so much money yesterday, and now he naturally wants to grab a share of the pie. Unfortunately, he did not bring enough money when he went out, otherwise he would have to buy hundreds of bags and sell them before Laurie·Grocery Store.

Rose didn't expect it to turn around, but he still needed to seek Nalant's opinion on Laurie's request, so he immediately looked into the store.

"Rose, sell it to him, Laurie·The grocery store can pay the original price of the territory!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ah! It's Mr. Nalant. Thank you Mr. Nalant for your generosity!" In an instant, Laurie recognized Nalant's voice and thanked him loudly and gratefully.

Next, Rose asked the servant to pack the salt for Sam. After Sam left, he looked at Laurie and said, "Laurie·Grocery store, how much goods do you need!"

"I want a hundred bags of salt, fifty pounds of dried salted fish and fifty Brown Sugar Black Bread!" After all, this was considered a bargain, and Laurie didn't dare to go too far.

"Rose, double the quantity for him!" At this time, Nalant came out, and he knew what Laurie was thinking.

"Thank you Mr. Nalant for your generosity!" Laurie was overjoyed when he heard this and expressed his thanks again.

You know, once this batch of goods changes hands, he can easily earn fifteen more silver coins.

Soon, the servant finished packing the goods from Laurie·grocery store.

After Laurie called his serfs to load the goods on Wheelbarrow, he respectfully saluted Nalant and said goodbye.

Laurie·After leaving the grocery store, Nalant turned his attention to the crowd of onlookers at the door.

"Everyone, I am the lord of Storm Territory. I usually eat this salt. Do you still think it has bad luck?"

As he spoke, Nalant directly scooped a small spoonful of salt into a porcelain cup, then mixed it with water and drank it.

The crowd of onlookers actually gave up their previous worries after Sam and Laurie purchased the goods. At this time, seeing Nalant's actions, they no longer had any worries.

"Now, if you want to buy, come forward quickly. The merchant just bought a lot of goods, and there is not much inventory in the store!"

After saying that, Nalant didn't stop much and headed directly towards the alley on the side.

"I want, boss, give me five packs of salt!"

"I want it too, I want ten packets of salt and a pound of dried salted fish!"

"I want that Brown Sugar Black Bread that's sweeter than honey!"

The next moment, the crowd surged up again, completely surrounding the newly opened shop Nalant.
