Zhang Tie drove the car in a hurry and drove to a market in Heiyan City where he used to go shopping.
Samira's money bag was still on Zhang Tie. After letting Samira steal the chicken but failed to lose the rice in the Wild Wolf Castle, Zhang Tie saw that the money bag was still new, looked good, and was a popular style, so it was He stayed and was not afraid of Samira coming to trouble him.
The two bags of rice I just bought for my family have only used up less than half of the silver coins in the purse, and there are still more than twenty gold coins that have not been touched yet.
The money in the wallet was equivalent to his father's salary for more than two years. It was also a huge sum of money for Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie was still a little distressed at first, but when he thought of those people looking at him with big, bright eyes, He and the little guys holding the "We are very hungry" signs, Zhang Tie couldn't harden his heart.
Zhang Tie felt that it was really God's will. He relied on the name of Mother Teresa and the Patron Saint Cult's nihilistic "Contract of Oath of Soul and Bloodline" to scare Samira away from biting him in court. , and finally let myself win a big victory, so today, I will use the money on the orphanage of the Guardian God Sect.
Because many ordinary people in Heiyan City have to wait until after work at night to buy things, especially after the price of food soared, compared to before, everyone can buy less things at a time, but the times are more frequent. It was getting crowded, so many shops and businesses in the market would not close until after ten o'clock in the evening.
He was already familiar with this market, so Zhang Tie basically didn't wander around. Instead, he drove directly to the door of a general store whose owner was a Chinese.
As soon as Zhang Tie got off the car and took a look at the door, the owner of the store greeted him enthusiastically. Like all Chinese doing business abroad, Zhang Tie also saw in this boss the shrewd and capable temperament of Tang De. .
Zhang Tie looked at the various goods piled up like a hill in the warehouse next to the store. He nodded secretly.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" The Chinese boss was very enthusiastic. Half of his enthusiasm was attributed to Zhang Tie's Chinese appearance, and half was attributed to the good reputation of the Norman Empire soldiers when they were spending money in Black Flame City. .
I saw that Zhang Tie’s boss spoke Chinese. In this era, all Chinese people are very united. In the eyes of outsiders, the so-called Chinese are the kind of guys who can make friends with two people, form a group with three people, and make a gang with five people. anywhere. As long as the number of Chinese people exceeds ten, generally no one dares to bully Chinese people at will.
Zhang Tie didn't say anything and just threw Samira's money bag over. The Chinese boss took the money bag.
"I will spend all this money to buy things from you. How much discount can you give me?" Zhang Tie also said in words.
The boss only shook his money bag and smiled, "We can offer a discount of three points at a time for businesses that cost more than twenty gold coins, and because you are Chinese. I can still do it." Adding one more point will give you a discount of four points and free door-to-door delivery. The profit in the grain business is not much, so this is the biggest discount I can give you!
"Okay, bring me the inventory. Let me take a look!"
Of course, you don't need to look at the goods list for small transactions, but for transactions of more than ten gold coins at a time, the boss will take out a goods list for you to choose from. Above was everything he had in his warehouse and everything he could get his hands on.
Looking at the items on the cargo list, Zhang Tie began to scan the goods as if ordering food in a restaurant.
50 bags of rice packed in 25kg…
34 bags of corn packed in 30 kilograms...
50 bags of flour packed in 25kg…
140kg of dried meat…
98kg of sugar…
127kg of salt…
23 bottles of palm oil packed in five kilograms
17 bottles of alcohol packed in two kilograms...
As Zhang Tie was talking, the Chinese boss quickly recorded it with a pen. He quickly took out the abacus on the table and started playing, and finally deducted the four-point discount he gave Zhang Tie. The final result was 26 gold coins, 18 silver coins and 33 copper coins. He opened the money bag Zhang Tie gave him and clicked the money inside. He was dumbfounded on the spot. The money in the money bag happened to be 26 gold coins, 18 silver coins and 33 copper coins.
It is actually exactly the same as the total price of the goods to be purchased.
"Why, isn't it enough?"
"Enough, enough, there is just enough money in the purse, a penny is a lot, I originally wanted to waive the 33 penny change!" The Chinese boss was sweating slightly on his forehead, this Norman just now The imperial officer came casually when ordering things, and it took less than 30 seconds in total. There were so many things, so complicated, and the prices were different. Many of the things he wanted were not round numbers, and he even gave up a four-point profit. This person wouldn't have calculated the price in his head when he wanted something. How could it be possible? It took more than a minute for a veteran who had used abacus for decades to calculate it. How could this person know the answer at a glance? But if it was a coincidence, it would be even more impossible.
For a moment, the Chinese boss felt that this young Norman Empire officer was unfathomable. How did he know that Zhang Tie's "Magic Calculation" had already reached a state that even Zhang Tie could not explain clearly. When Zhang Tie took the bill of goods just now, he really only glanced at the bill of goods and the money bag. How many things the money can buy really appeared in Zhang Tie's mind. Zhang Tie only took two seconds to think about it before deciding on the final goods.
"Can we load the car?"
"Oh, yes, right away! These things will all be shipped from the warehouse. I will transfer the alcohol from other places. It may take a while..."
"Okay, hurry up, I still have people here waiting for these things to be put into the pot!"
"Okay, I'll get it done for you in ten minutes. Come in and drink some water!" The boss became even more attentive.
Ten minutes later, a truck loaded with goods and four porters accompanying it drove toward the west of Black Flame City along with the car driven by Zhang Tie. In a short time, they arrived at the orphanage in the civilian area on the west side of Black Flame City not far from the city wall.
Mother Teresa and all the children in the orphanage were waiting eagerly at the door of the orphanage just like when Zhang Tie brought rice soup. Everyone knew that Zhang Tie would bring everyone some food, but what no one expected was that what came with Zhang Tie would be a whole truckload of food and the most urgently needed supplies for the orphanage.
Rice, flour, corn, sugar, dried meat, oil, salt, and alcohol.
A truckload. This is the largest donation the orphanage has received since Mother Teresa established it.
All the children in Rong Guyuan cheered, and cheerful smiles bloomed on their little faces instantly. The desolate Rong Guyuan suddenly became happy as if it were welcoming the grandest festival. .
Although he was a little distressed at first spending all this money, Zhang Tie felt that his heart was filled with warmth when he looked at these children and Grandma Teresa, who had hope in their faces. It was bright and I felt extremely happy.
It's all worth it - Zhang Tie said to himself. He felt that true wealth may not be how much money you have, but how many people you can bring happiness and satisfaction to with the money you have.
A miser with a lot of money would definitely not be as satisfied and happy as he is now. If he had continued to carry the money in his pocket, he would not have experienced the satisfaction and happiness he felt at the moment.
Having money is a happy thing, but if you can spend your money to make the people around you happy, then your own happiness, satisfaction, and inner light will really be more!
In such happiness and satisfaction, Zhang Tie almost forgot that his injuries were not yet healed, and joined the porters to help carry the things in the car into the orphanage.
I had just clamped two bags of rice with my left hand, and when I exerted force on my hand, the wounds on my lower abdomen and shoulders suddenly started to hurt.
Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, and after only moving things once, his face turned sallow, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the two wounds on his body seemed to have become moist again at this time.
A little girl holding a bag of salt ran over excitedly. Without paying attention, she hit her head on Zhang Tie's abdomen. The little girl quickly said sorry, but Zhang Tie's face suddenly turned pale.
"It's okay, just get your things in quickly!" Zhang Tieqiang smiled and sent the little girl away. Then he took a few deep breaths.
Mother Teresa walked over, her eyes fixed on Zhang Tie's face.
"Are you physically injured?"
"Well, a little injury, it's not a problem. These things should be enough for the orphanage to last for a while!" Zhang Tie smiled.
"Can you let me see your wound?" Mother Teresa asked with concern.
"Mommy, can you still treat illnesses?" Zhang Tie said in a relaxed and joking tone.
“God’s light is everywhere!”
…
While the children and maids of the orphanage were happily preparing tonight's sumptuous dinner in the kitchen, at the strong request of Mother Teresa, Zhang Tie had already taken off his shirt and lay down on the bed of the orphanage. A hard board in Mammy's prayer room**.
Every once in a while, devout believers of the Gripis sect will close themselves in such a prayer room for seven days, isolating themselves from the outside world, and use it to pray, meditate, and purify their hearts and bodies.
After untying the gauze and bandage, the two wounds on Zhang Tie's lower abdomen and shoulder socket had begun to ooze blood again. After carefully examining Zhang Tie's wounds, Mother Teresa asked Zhang Tie to lie down in the prayer room and wait. Let her go and get a bottle of medicine.
Mother Teresa was very insistent, so Zhang Tie couldn't refuse and had to wait in the prayer room.
Two minutes later, Mother Teresa solemnly walked in holding a small, simple box made of unknown material...
The outside of the small box was decorated with the silver olive branch of the Gripis sect. As soon as he looked at the box, Zhang Tie knew that the contents of the box were anything but simple.
