Chapter 407: A Perfect Match
Along with the promotion of cured foods, the dishes on Luo Ji’s dining table also became richer than before.
However, eating too much cured meat and fish inevitably left a salty taste in his mouth, so he was recently experimenting with another seasoning.
With salt, soybeans, and wheat, of course, he had to brew soy sauce!
He missed his bowl of braised pork too much. When he had gone offline previously, he had gone out to eat once to satisfy his craving, but after one bite, he was greatly disappointed.
Now that Luo Ji’s palate had become discerning, the taste of ordinary pork was really difficult for him to swallow, let alone inferior pork.
Ultimately, for that bowl of braised pork, he had to roll up his sleeves and get to work himself.
However, brewing soy sauce was not something that could be accomplished in a short time.
You had to proceed step by step, waiting for it to ferment slowly.
It wasn’t something that could be rushed.
For a time, Luo Ji felt a bit weary from waiting.
“Your Majesty.”
“What is it?”
Luo Ji responded spiritlessly after lunch, during his nap time.
“The blue diamond jewelry you ordered earlier is ready.”
“It’s ready?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Ji immediately perked up.
“Bring it, let me see.”
The attendant quickly handed him the wooden tray holding the blue diamond jewelry.
Luo Ji’s eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the two pieces of jewelry lying quietly on the tray.
He took the two pieces of jewelry in his hand and inspected them, confirming that the blue diamonds embedded in them would not fall out.
Luo Ji nodded in satisfaction.
“Well done, I’m very pleased. Pass on my order: the artisans who made these two pieces of jewelry shall be rewarded 100 strings of cash.”
With that, Luo Ji no longer bothered with the attendant.
He decisively opened his friends list and sent a message to Ye Qingxuan.
“Are you there?”
“I’m here.”
Ye Qingxuan’s reply came quickly, accompanied by a ‘cute’ emoji.
“How has your development been recently?”
“It’s alright, there’s plenty of time, completely manageable.”
Upon seeing this message, Luo Ji instantly broke out in a sweat of embarrassment.
Thinking about it, Ye Qingxuan’s commercial civilization was much wealthier than his, directly operating at a 50x time difference.
It would be impossible not to have ample time.
However, he still had to carefully convey what needed to be conveyed.
At the same time, Luo Ji also informed Ye Qingxuan about the temporary settlement of the disputes with Zongheng Tianxia.
After Ye Qingxuan learned of it, a hint of surprise immediately appeared on her face.
“It just ended like that?”
“Yes.”
“What exactly happened? I don’t quite understand.”
Ye Qingxuan sent the message, not forgetting to attach a ‘dazed’ emoji at the end.
Upon seeing this, Luo Ji also replied with a ‘dazed’ emoji.
“It seems their Zongheng Tianxia Alliance Leader misunderstood something. I’m not sure about the exact situation, but they haven’t invaded me again.”
Ye Qingxuan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this reply, but quickly became serious again.
“It’s a good thing, but we still shouldn’t let our guard down. It’s better to be careful.”
“I think so too.”
After a simple exchange, the two, as always, exchanged information about their respective resources.
Upon learning that Luo Ji had acquired coarse salt resources, Ye Qingxuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
In her eyes, these were all profits!
The value of salt was unquestionable.
If it could be sold to players without coarse salt, they would definitely make a huge profit!
Such a good business deal would be a waste not to pursue.
After some discussion, the two decisively decided to seize this opportunity.
Luo Ji would be responsible for supplying the goods, and Ye Qingxuan would be responsible for reselling them. It was a perfect match.
They then simultaneously let out laughter like the unscrupulous merchants.
The only small problem was probably that Luo Ji’s salt drying workshop had just started.
To provide a large amount of coarse salt, he would first have to go back and expand the scale of the salt drying workshop, and at the same time, continue to send more manpower.
After all, if you want to sell goods externally, you must first ensure sufficient internal supply.
If your own civilization doesn’t have enough, why sell to others?
Ye Qingxuan naturally had no objections, stating it was okay and there was no problem.
Neither of them was short on time.
After quickly trading a batch of supplies, Ye Qingxuan, who was currently in her commercial civilization, suddenly exclaimed.
“Huh?”
Then, with a flick of her finger, a pair of exquisitely crafted blue diamond earrings and a bracelet also strung with blue diamonds appeared in her hand.
Looking at the dazzling blue diamonds, the curve of Ye Qingxuan’s lips was impossible to hide.
“Hmph! Why do I seem to have two extra things?”
“A gift.”
Luo Ji replied with a light chuckle.
“The craftsmanship is limited; please don’t dislike it. I’ll find better ones to send you later.”
As he spoke, Luo Ji also explained the origin of the blue diamonds.
Upon hearing that Luo Ji had actually smashed such a large blue diamond, Ye Qingxuan felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.
“You really had the heart to do that.”
“Originally, I wanted to make some jewelry with that entire blue diamond, but that blue diamond was too big. No matter how I tried to make it, it felt flashy, so this is how it turned out. If you like large ones, I’ll send you colored diamonds when I find them later.”
“No, no need. I don’t like overly flashy jewelry either. These two pieces are very nice. So, you prefer something more elegant?”
“You could say that.”
Upon seeing this reply, a hint of understanding flashed in Ye Qingxuan’s eyes.
Then, before Luo Ji could react, she decisively changed the subject.
“By the way, have you been to the neutral zone?”
“No.”
Luo Ji quickly replied.
“I usually have no need to go there.”
It had been mentioned before that the neutral zone was like a player lounge.
Some players who joined alliances would sometimes go there to hold alliance meetings, or two alliances that were fiercely fighting might go there to sign agreements in person to show sincerity.
Occasionally, people also traded items there.
But Luo Ji hadn’t joined an alliance, didn’t need to reconcile with anyone, and had no items to trade. Why would he go there? He wasn’t that bored for a stroll.
“I’m going to the neutral zone later. Want to come along?”
Luo Ji paused in surprise upon seeing this message, then pondered for a moment before replying.
“Alright, but give me a little time. I need to arrange things here.”
“Ok, message me when you’re ready.”
Closing the message window, Ye Qingxuan immediately turned to look at the maid beside her.
“Quick, fetch my light blue silk dress. Oh, and bring the white one and the cyan-blue one as well.”
