Zhao Hai followed Billy and Juno into the cave. It was a very ordinary cave. It was obvious that the cave was not meant for people to live in. There was a huge desk in the cave, and a few huge bookshelves behind it.
Not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a place for rest. There was a set of wooden couches and a coffee table.
The few of them walked to the rest area and sat down. Billy looked at Zhao Hai and laughed,”Young man, you have done a good job in the past year. The Buda family is now very famous. I want to know what kind of deal you want to make with our dwarf race.”
“I’m sure you know what kind of goods our Buda family has. I’m here to trade with the dwarves for milk wine.” Zhao Hai smiled.
Zhao Hai knew that most alien races were very direct, much more so than humans. So, you don’t need to beat around the bush. Just say what you want.
Billy looked at Zhao Hai and smiled. &Quot; &Quot; I’ve drunk your milk wine before. It’s really good. Did you guys work with the beastmen to make it? ”
Zhao Hai smiled and nodded. &Quot; yes, but the milk wine they brewed is not complete. It needs further processing. I bought some of the ordinary milk wine they brewed themselves from the orc race and processed it into the milk wine that is now sold on the mainland. &Quot;
Billy nodded. &Quot; you’re very honest, young man. Alright, tell me. What do you need? ”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” I have a bad habit. I like strange things. Be it magical beasts or plants, as long as it’s strange and rare on the continent, I like it. So, I want to use milk wine to exchange with you for those strange things from the dwarves. Then, I want to exchange for some ironware. I wonder if that’s possible? ”
Billy frowned and said, ” that’s not a problem. However, you also know that magical beasts like the iron-armored beasts are unique to us dwarves. It’s not that we don’t want to give them to other races, but if we give them to other races, they won’t be able to keep them alive. Those iron-armored beasts will starve to death in the hands of other races. Trees like the iron spear tree can’t be planted anywhere else. Why do you want them? ”
Zhao Hai laughed. &Quot; I’m just very curious about those things. It was the same when I dealt with the beastmen. In fact, I have an Alchemist and an Alchemist in my family. They are very curious about these things, so I want them. &Quot;
Billy didn’t say anything. In fact, it wasn’t that the orcs and dwarves didn’t want to give the special plants or magical beasts to others. It was that they couldn’t use them even if they gave them to others.
Billy nodded. &Quot; that’s not a problem. These things aren’t worth much. If you want them, I can give you a few. But what’s the price of your milk wine? ”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; don’t worry, clan leader. It’s just the normal price. However much we sell it for on the continent, it’ll be the same. I guarantee that it won’t be a single copper coin more. &Quot;
Billy was stunned. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Really?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” patriarch, you don’t have to doubt it. You will know if you ask the orcs. Our Buda family has always been very fair in doing business. Our grain price with the orcs is lower than that of ordinary merchants. There is no reason for us to do business with the dwarves. Instead, we are asking for a high price. &Quot;
Billy looked at Zhao Hai as if he was trying to tell if he was telling the truth from his face. After a while, Billy nodded and said, ” “If that’s the case, then it’s a good thing for us dwarves. We live in the mountains all year round, and the wind is hard in the mountains. We often need to drink some wine to survive. If you really trade milk wine with us, it’s also a good thing for us.”
“In fact, I don’t only have milk wine with me. I also have a few types of milk. I’ll treat the two elders to some today.” Zhao Hai smiled. With that, Zhao Hai flipped his hand and took out a few bottles.
The bottles were filled with different types of wine. They were ordinary milk wine, high-class milk wine, white wine, and beer. Zhao Hai did not bring out fruit wine as it was obvious that fruit wine was not suitable for the dwarves.
In fact, Zhao Hai had already done some research on the dwarfs before he came. The dwarfs loved wine, but the wine they drank was also very special. They drank a special kind of wine that was produced in the Budur Empire. This kind of potato was actually similar to sweet potatoes. This wine was similar to the sweet potato wine on earth, but it was a low-quality sweet potato wine. Other than the dwarfs, no one else was willing to drink this wine. Moreover, the alcohol content of this wine was not high. It could not be compared with Zhao Hai’s well-made grain wine.
To be honest, fruit wine tasted better than potato wine. However, the dwarves didn’t like fruit wine, so they would rather drink this potato wine.
Zhao Hai already knew about this before he came, so he didn’t bring out the fruit wine this time. He only brought milk wine and grain wine.
Billy and Juno looked at the four bottles of wine on the table. The four bottles did not look very eye-catching, and there was nothing special about them. Three of the bottles were transparent, and one was black.
Zhao Hai opened the normal bottle of milk wine and said to Billy and Juno, ” “This is an ordinary milk wine. I think both of you have already drunk it. However, this kind of milk wine is also divided into several grades. The lowest grade is the one sold on the continent. This bottle is of a higher grade. You can try it.”
Everyone on the continent knew that the people at the dwarves ‘table would always have wine glasses. Zhao Hai said as he picked up two wine glasses on the table. He poured some milk wine into each glass and placed them in front of the two.
Billy and Juno did not stand on ceremony. They picked up their glasses and took a sip. They had experience drinking milk wine and knew that this kind of wine was very strong, so they drank very slowly and only took a small sip.
The two of them took a sip of the wine and felt the difference. They had tasted the ordinary milk wine on the continent before. It was delicious, but it was not as good as the wine that Zhao Hai brought out this time. This milk wine was more fragrant.
The two of them put down their glasses and nodded. Zhao Hai picked up the bottle of high-class milk wine and poured a little for each of them. He then treated them to a taste again.
Juno was fine. He had drunk this kind of high-class milk wine before, so he did not feel anything when he drank it now. Billy, on the other hand, had never drunk this before. After drinking this high-class milk wine, his eyes could not help but light up. He felt that the wine was really good.
Then, Zhao Hai picked up the bottle of rice wine and poured a little for each of them. He continued, ” &Quot; try this wine. This wine is newly brewed by us. It’s not milk wine or fruit wine. It’s brewed with bamboo rice. Please try it. &Quot;
Juno and Billy were both stunned. They naturally knew about bamboo rice, but it was the first time they had heard of using bamboo rice to make wine.
Both of them picked up their glasses curiously and took a sip of the wine. The alcohol content of the rice wine made by Zhao Hai this time was not very high, but the rice wine did not have any milk fragrance. It just had a pure wine fragrance, with a little sweetness and a soft taste.
After the two of them drank the wine, they looked at each other and saw a trace of wonder in each other’s eyes. They did not expect that the wine brewed with bamboo rice would taste so good.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled. He took out a bottle of beer and poured a big glass for each of them. Previously, when he went to the white wine and rice wine area, he only poured a little, which was only enough for one sip. This time, he poured half a glass of beer. With the foam of the beer, it was a full glass.
Billy and Juno looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai understood and said, ” “This kind of wine is not strong, it is very fragrant and mellow to drink, and you have to drink it in big mouthfuls to be interesting. Please try it.”
Juno and Billy did not stand on ceremony. They raised their glasses and finished the wine in one gulp. As soon as the wine entered their mouths, they first felt that the taste of the wine was a little strange. Then, they felt an indescribable rich taste. After swallowing the wine, they couldn’t help but smacked their lips.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and smiled, ” “This wine is made from a very rare plant on the continent. Currently, only our Buda family knows where this plant grows, but the production of this wine will be very large in the future.”
Billy looked at the cup in his hand and nodded. &Quot; “The last wine is really good. It tastes great. Do you have many kinds of this wine now?”
&Quot; the production of this wine is not very high yet. The highest production I have is milk wine. If you want the other wines, you’ll have to wait for a while, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile.
Billy nodded and said, ” then I’ll have milk wine. I’ll have this ordinary milk wine. We dwarves need a large amount of wine. You have to give me a very fair price. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; okay, that won’t be a problem. We’ll give the dwarfs a discount on the large amount of wine. We can give them a wholesale price. &Quot;
Billy nodded in satisfaction and said, ” “Good, that’s good. Young man, when can you send the wine over?”
“I can do it now. How much do you want?” Zhao Hai smiled. I’ll make the payment immediately.”
“Your spatial equipment is that big?” Billy asked, surprised.
Zhao Hai laughed. &Quot; yes, it’s very big. Also, I came here to do business with the dwarves, so I brought a lot of milk wine. I want to exchange some ironware with the dwarves. These ironware will be transported to the orc tribe. &Quot;
Billy nodded and said, ” it seems that you have a good relationship with the orcs. We dwarves had some business dealings with the orcs before, but that was many years ago. Later, because the humans stopped us, our business with the orcs was cut off. I didn’t expect you to start this business again. &Quot;
