"This is the spice just collected this year, 100 vanilla seeds..." a local spice merchant is showing Lynch his most proud products.

He picked up a bag the size of an adult's fist and poured out some hexagonal green and yellow seeds. When these seeds spread in his hands, there was a strange smell. Lynch seemed to smell them somewhere.

Of course, it must not be here, but in the Federation.

Hundred vanilla seeds are not too precious, but they are not ordinary goods. They have very strict requirements for the growth environment. There are only a few countries in the world that have this spice.

It is mainly used to process some meat foods, such as barbecue, roast meat, etc. Lynch thinks the taste is familiar because he has put this spice in the barbecue fish steak he has eaten, and cooks like to use it to blend the taste of fish.

Lynch fiddled a few times, and the smell began to change. This was caused by the strong smell. He stepped aside and his nose was itchy. "Do you have a quotation?"

His question obviously hit the key of the local businessman. The local businessman flashed a brief confusion in his eyes, and then asked in a skeptical and uncertain tone, "what's that?"

It is not unreasonable that such indigenous businessmen have been exploited and oppressed by another group of businessmen. In fact, it is also related to the degree of social development. Local indigenous businessmen have ushered in the invasion of foreign businessmen before strong competition.

Many businessmen don't know the most basic things.

Lynch put it another way, "the price list is a piece of paper, which records the price of each commodity. Can you understand it?", Lynch looked at ASR, who explained it to the spice merchant in the local native language. Looking at the merchant's suddenly realized appearance, Lynch was more or less relieved.

Then the businessman quickly wrote out a quotation. Lynch looked at the price on the quotation and put it away without saying anything. "I haven't done spice business before, but I don't mind doing it."

"I don't know whether these prices are appropriate. I'll go back to Bayer federal next week. We'll talk about the acquisition after I find out the price."

"But before that..." Lynch reached out and twisted a handful of 100 vanilla seeds from the palm of the spice merchant and rolled them hard. "It's too wet. If you want to do business with me, you'd better let it dry!"

When he loosened his finger, the dried shell of the hundred vanilla seeds had been crushed, but the center was still a little wet. Don't underestimate the imperceptible moisture. In the weight of a single hundred vanilla seeds, these moisture may account for more than half of its weight, or even 60 or 70 percent.

These spice merchants don't do very well in business. They don't need to be taught how to cheat and play tricks. It can be seen that most of the essence of merchants are the same - they do everything for profit.

The spice merchant didn't do it at all. Therefore, the spice he showed was very wet and embarrassed. His face was full of smiles without any influence. "Of course, Mr. Lynch, I'll let those lazy Dalits dry them immediately!"

"You'd better do that..." Lynch nodded. "You sign your name and stay. I'll take it away as a sample when I leave."

After leaving the contact information and marking the names of these spices, the spice merchant got up and left, and then the second merchant came in with his samples.

An ivory merchant.

Elephants and ivory are not rare species and luxuries in this world. There are a large number of elephant herds in places such as nagaril and closer to the equator.

The elephants here are larger, have longer teeth and are more threatening. It is difficult to have natural enemies in the grassland or jungle, which also makes their population larger and larger, and even threatens the living space of human beings in some areas.

There are also many elephant herds in the grassland and jungle of nagaril. Ivory traders mainly sell ivory from grassland elephants, which are longer, thicker and stronger. The color is slightly yellow, but not obvious.

As soon as the ivory merchant made a move, he was a pair of huge ivory with a full length of two meters seven or eight and a root diameter of nearly one foot six!

If this pair of ivory is sent to the Federation for sale, it will be worth at least 100000 to 200000 federal sols, that is, tens of millions of galilees.

But here, it is only an expensive and sincere gift.

"This is my present for you, Mr. Lynch!" this is a middle-aged man in his thirties. He has two moustaches. He looks cunning and cunning, and there is ferocity in his eyes.

Most hunters are not good at stubble. From the first hunting to capture animal life, most hunters will naturally feel that "life is just like this" in the later hunting process. They lose their fear of life and begin to ignore life.

And this attitude will eventually make them have a similar attitude towards human life, and they will ignore human life, just as they do when they face animals.

Lynch looked at the ivory being removed from the old truck and thanked the ivory merchant. Then they went into the room and continued to talk about these businesses.

The merchant not only has a large number of ivory, but also cherished rhinoceros horns and rhinoceros bones. These things can be obtained in the deeper part of the grassland. The environment there is also worse and more terrible. Fur merchants like hassana will not go in easily.

Lynch also asked him for a quotation. How much these things are worth and at what price he wants to collect them all have to wait until he returns to the Federation.

There was an endless stream of businessmen who came to visit him. They were all local indigenous businessmen. They were deeply exploited by major businesses. They always felt that Lynch could buy their goods at a higher price.

In fact, this is a very wrong idea. Even if Lynch can do so, he will not do so, because it will offend all foreign businessmen in nagary and hurt everyone's interests.

At that time, he was the enemy of everyone. Even if the central government, which was useless in nagariel, stood up, it could not prevent Lynch from being targeted or even attacked.

But he can contact these businessmen. He will not affect the interests of most people, let alone provide businessmen with an offer only in their imagination.

There are many businessmen, and even middlemen who spontaneously want to help some girls obtain some genetic genes from Lynch to transform the race. As soon as they open their mouth, they are 200 million business.

But there were no businessmen, population businessmen, that Lynch wanted to see.

In fact, it's quite normal. The resistance of the general environment of nagaril to the outside world makes people always think that the foreign environment is very bad, worse than their living environment. Sometimes people are so simple and... Stupid.

Therefore, no one wants to work abroad. With the brainwashing of the religion, foreign countries seem to have become an abyss of the hell. However, they have to wait for people to become masters after great destruction. How can they give up such an opportunity to suffer abroad?

Lynch spent several days in such an atmosphere. The provincial governor's sons have not been able to persuade each other to agree, which also made Lynch relaxed for some time.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he made a serious tour of the city and had a deeper understanding of the city, Magura Na province and the whole nagariel.

On Tuesday the next week, the apostles of the high priest came to welcome Lynch to the event.

Tuesday in the third week of April is a festival of local religions. It is said that on this day, a drop of blood from the gods, such as flowing gold, drops on the dry and desolate earth, so flowers bloom and multiply all things. This day is also known as "hundred flowers Festival", also known as "new birthday".

In fact, the festival atmosphere has appeared since two or three days ago. It became stronger yesterday and has reached its peak today.

It's hard to imagine that people actually clean the road. When Lynch is wandering these days, he finds that not only men are urinating everywhere, but many women are urinating everywhere. It may be... A little funny, but that's the truth.

Especially those middle-aged women at the bottom of the society, they don't care about other people's eyes. Finding a place slightly away from the street can solve their personal problems, which is really eye opening.

The whole street is actually chaotic and dirty, but surprisingly, all this has been cleaned up today.

A wreath of flowers woven is hung on the head of each door. The ground in front of the door is covered with all kinds of petals. Both men and women point a red dot in the center of their eyebrows, and there is a circle of white petals around the red dot to reflect its meaning.

People's temples, behind ears, neckline, chest and wrist will be decorated with some flowers. The smell gathered but not scattered in the whole city seems to have disappeared, and even there is no smell in the central area of the city.

Lynch was invited to participate in this religious activity, which was actually a very glorious thing. He was arranged on the second float after the high priest.

It's a float. In fact, it's just an old bus that has been repainted and decorated. There are seven or eight people on the bus. Almost half of them are people Lynch knows. They've met before. They're all businessmen.

Half of Lynch hasn't met, but after the introduction of others, they have learned a little. They are all representatives of some local dignitaries.

Maybe it was because Lynch was young and participated in the hundred flowers festival for the first time. A businessman familiar with him explained the process in a low voice.

The purpose of this activity is that people thank the gods in some ways in order to thank their blood for nourishing all things. At the same time, the representatives of the gods will also give some feedback to the people.

Thanks to the gods and their feedback, almost most religions have similar festivals. Lynch has some points in his heart.
