Chapter 125: Autumn's Tail
The cost of an elixir is generally only a few dozen copper coins, at most a few hundred, after deducting material costs and labor costs; this is the first time she feels profitable.
Lu Jiu unconsciously opened her mouth, revealing an incredulous expression.
The store manager looked at her and said leisurely: "Are you questioning my pharmaceutical abilities?"
She quickly waved her hand, "No, this is the first time I've ever made a profit from selling something."
This batch of nearly 700 pills was worth at least several gold coins, maybe even more than ten gold coins!
The store manager's expression improved, "So if there is still a chance to pick tempered fruit, pick as much as possible."
"It must be, but I don't know if it will yield fruit next year."
Lu Jiu felt it. Picking and tempering fruits in the wild is a kind of action that seeks wealth and wealth.
The store manager did not reply to her question.
Lu Jiu went out of the pharmacy and looked at the remaining tempered fruits in her backpack. According to the utilization rate of the store manager, it felt like it would be enough for several years.
But people must have a sense of crisis, and every autumn in the future, she will go to the canopy of the giant tree to look inside.
She quickly picked up thousands of trees, and Shen Jufeng was no less than her. Zhuang Yun didn't know, but she wanted to buy some tempered fruits from her teammates, but it was a good thing.
Seeing that there were still a lot of refining fruits left in her backpack, Lu Jiu decided not to think about it for the time being, and then find two teammates in the future when she needed them.
Compared to the manager of the pharmacy in Xuantian City, many other city-states are not so lucky.
Most of the NPCs in the city-states are low-level, while some are mid-level, and only a few are high-level talents.
The idea of these city owners at the beginning was to hire a cashier, but they didn't expect these NPC store managers to be so useful, and now they regret it.
A store manager cannot be changed unless another store manager is hired after opening a branch.
The pharmacist NPC with low-level talent has a disastrously low utilization rate of tempered fruits, and some fruits can make several elixirs.
For some, only one fruit can be refined into one medicine, and these city lords can only accept it with a sigh.
Time flies, the influence of flying catkins gradually dissipates, and the footsteps of winter approach.
Lu Jiu glanced at the upper right corner, where there was a date and time display. November 30th. December was the beginning of winter in the game world, and it would last for three months.
But this is not certain, after all, the game world is so pissed...
Today is the last day of autumn, Xuantian City seems to have reached a consensus, no one leaves the city today, and they are all nestled in the city to accompany their families to welcome the arrival of winter in the game world.
All the teams that Lu Jiu had sent out were recalled by her. Although these NPCs could continue to search for supplies in winter, she felt that it was unnecessary, especially when she knew that the NPCs were quite intelligent.
Some time ago, the jewelry store put photo stones on the shelves, and they were all made into very beautiful small objects, some of which were small pendants, while others were inlaid on necklaces.
Lu Jiu remembered an anime she had watched before and asked the store manager to make some long-lasting photo stones in the image of small snails, which could store images for a month at a time.
She asked the patrolling NPCs to place these photo stones in the public areas, and only she and the patrolling NPCs were able to remove them. If anyone attempted to take these photo stones without authorization, they would automatically return to the city lord's backpack.
The photo stone for short-term photography can start recording at any time according to the owner's wishes, and can quickly assign it to someone.
Winter was about to start, and Lu Jiu was in a good mood, so she sent an email to her two teammates, inviting them to a restaurant for a barbecue feast and healthy chicken soup.
She quickly put on her coat and then hurriedly opened the door. As she had expected, the two adjacent doors also opened shortly thereafter.
She wore a lot of clothes today, her coat looked very thick, and it was wrapped around her like a small rice dumpling.
Lu Jiu knelt and touched her clothes, "Why are you wearing such thick clothes? Winter will officially enter tomorrow."
Zhuang Yun: "It's too cold, I'm afraid she'll catch a cold." Even in the game world, negative states can be cured immediately, but I just don't want to see my child suffer.
Lu Jiu smiled without saying a word, holding An An's hand, one big and one small bouncing and walking in the front, the two men walked slowly behind and looked at their backs.
Zhuang Yun was touched by this scene, and asked Shen Jufeng next to him: "What do you think of Lu Jiu?"
At that time, Shen Jufeng hugged Lu Jiu without any hesitation, "Seeing you hugging Lu Jiu a few days ago, I inevitably thought about it."
When I first encountered this situation, I did not give it much thought; however, upon returning home and reflecting on the entire incident, I realized that there was something amiss.
Shen Jufeng looked down at the ground with his eyelids half covering his pupils, "You don't know that she will involuntarily get closer to those wild monsters every time she fights, and she suffered a few times, so I hugged her without thinking twice. So we don't have to worry about it."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yun recalled Lu Jiu's fighting style and was thrown away by the tail of the saber-toothed tiger boss last time.
"That's right, but you two are single and both are excellent, I think you should consider it." His two teammates worked together very well.
Shen Jufeng just chuckled and shook his head, "In my eyes, she is a very good teammate. She has strength and capital, and she does things neatly. Although she is a bit lazy, it is undeniable that having a teammate like her is very worry-free most of the time."
After this person said so, Zhuang Yun could only stop this topic.
A few people came to the restaurant and found that it was quite lively today; the seats were all full. They came by coincidence, and there happened to be a table available.
There were a lot of people in the restaurant; some were with their families, others with friends, and still others with teammates with whom they had close relationships.
I don't know what luck it is, but they are sitting next to Lin Zuo and the others. Lin Zuo brought his younger brother and friend Dou Fanrong to dinner today.
As he sat down, Shen Jufeng glanced at the three people beside him and then ordered food without saying a word.
Lin Zuo greeted them as an acquaintance, "What a coincidence!"
Lu Jiu and the others just nodded.
Lin You and Dou Fanrong only cared about eating the grilled meat and didn't care about their brother's flirting there.
Lin Zuo, who thought he was handsome, turned his head after saying hello, and saw the two people eating meat with extremely fast hands.
"Damn, you don't save some for me." These are all the meat of boss-level wild monsters.
Recently, the dishes at the restaurant have become much tastier than before, and it appears that new spices or seasonings have been added.
The added attribute values are all greater than before.
"Brother, eating is also a kind of competition. If you are half-hearted, of course, I will take the opportunity to eat more." Although his brother was a powerful professional player in the city, he was just an ordinary person.
Dou Fanrong also nodded in agreement, "Xiaoyou is right, we all depend on our own abilities."
Lin Zuo just kept going, sticking his chopsticks into his buddy's bowl, and sharing the blessings.
Lu Jiu served some snacks on the table first, so that they wouldn't get bored while waiting for the dishes.
She gave a thousand pieces of tempered fruit to the manager of the restaurant, and the manager processed the fruit and ground it into powder. Just adding a little bit every time you cook can improve the taste.
But not every dish will benefit from this precious seasoning.
