Ahem, there is no way, I'm saving some manuscripts, sorry... Also, thank the book friend 'bhkly' for the reward!)

Liu Qi's mind was quite smart. After hearing the knock on the door, Liu Qi had a clear premonition. The person who came probably wouldn't have planned to use force, otherwise wouldn't it be enough to break the door and enter directly?

Moreover, Nina was asked a few days ago but was not subject to any imprisonment or coercion treatment, at least she is not hostile to Liu Qi at the moment. If you look at this, it is justified that Liu Qi will first meet the person who is looking for her - at least she will figure out who her enemy is?

Well, of course, it may not be the enemy yet...

"Liu! Is it you? I am Guterre!! The Guterre who entertains you in the manor outside the city!! Can you open the door? I have an important business to find you! A big business!!"

After hearing Liu Qi's answer, the person outside the door said loudly, his tone was very excited, especially the last sentence, which was already shouting, fearing that the people inside the door would not hear it.

"Gutel?! Big business??"

Liu Qi has a good memory and can still remember the manager of the manor who entertained him. Well, okay, the main reason for remembering this person is because of his beautiful wife. When I first saw this guy say that the beautiful woman was his wife, Liu Qi's first thought in his mind was to put a flower in cow dung - of course Liu Qi would never admit that he was envious and jealous at that time.

How could Liu Qi forget this kind of impressive guy?

"…Wait a moment, I'll open the door, Guttle!"

When Liu Qi heard that it was Guterre, he felt relieved and said, then pulled Nina over and whispered to her to bring the crossbow into the house to hide it. Then when he saw Nina obediently walking into the house with the crossbow, Liu Qi nodded in his heart, very satisfied with Nina's well-being, and then slowly stepped forward to open the door.

Liu Qi did not take any defensive measures. Since it was Guterre, a guy who knew him, who came forward to find him, and it was not the kind of invitation by force, it meant that he was preparing to cooperate with him. Even Liu Qi knew the reason why Guterre looked for him, because of his modern products. I remember that he only gave Tuter one type of product-modern iodized salt, was it because of this?

"Squeak--"

After opening the door, Liu Qi saw the first thing Guterre saw was Guterre's face that smiled like a chrysanthemum.

…………………

An hour later, Liu Qi sat alone in the yard. Looking at the wooden door that was closed by Guterre just now, Liu Qi narrowed his eyes and figured out how much moisture there was in the guy Guterre's words just now.

As soon as we met, Guterre looked like we were in love. Unfortunately, the clumsy way of getting in love was too juicy for Liu Qi, a modern person who is knowledgeable in modern times. Well, I have to say that the speaking skills of the Bronze Age are far less powerful than those of later generations, and they are so primitive and simple.

Liu Qi saw Guterre like this and he was not in a hurry. He learned Tai Chi skills unique to the Celestial Empire, and talked with Guterre that the weather is good today, how much is the wheat in Bella City today, etc.

The Bronze Age's friendship skills vs. The Tianchao's incomprehensible Tai Chi

Facts have proved that thousands of years of accumulation were not for nothing. Even if Liu Qi, a beginner, has little skills, it is absolutely powerful for the more rustic Guterre.

Later, Gooder had no choice but to reveal his original purpose.

As Liu Qi expected, the reason why Guterl looked for Liu Qi was that the three packs of modern iodized salt sold to Tutel when Liu Qi first conducted a time-space transaction in the manor three months ago.

Liu Qi was not aware of the prices in the Empire era at that time, so he could only buy five packs of iodized salt, five bags of thirteen fragrances, and ten glass beads, and hurried into the Empire era world based on the experience in those YY novels.

Liu Qi, who had no experience, almost died in the Empire era because of showing wealth. If he had not been lucky enough to detect it in advance and had the choice to withdraw, Liu Qi might even become the most tragic otaku. Although he had a golden finger, he died in another world because of accidentally showing wealth. This is definitely a very cold joke. If the protagonist is himself, even Liu Qi would laugh at this unlucky guy.

But of course Liu Qi didn't know that in the month he disappeared, he almost hanged Guterre's pussy or wiped his neck, because the Guterre family spent a lot of effort to find Liu Qi in Bella City.

The pack of white salt that Guterta brought with him caused a sensation among the Guterre family. There was no way, even the nobles in the Roman city-states ate the coarse salt particles. The servants grind them finer. To be precise, the taste of coarse salt was extremely bitter in the salt.

However, this extremely bitter coarse salt is not something that ordinary people and slaves can often afford. In Roman city-states, the price of salt has never been cheap. Well, of course, it seems that the price of salt in ancient times was not very cheap. At least in Bella City, the price of salt was quite high. A pound of salt was about half a month's salary for ordinary citizens in Bella City, and it was definitely a very expensive price. Generally, citizens basically had to eat one pound of salt for a family.

However, although this high-priced salt is nothing to the nobles, some even buy the so-called finely processed high-end salt for consumption. However, the high-end salt purchased by the Roman nobles... Well, it is just a little light black salt that is better than those ordinary citizens with thick black salt.

This so-called "high-end salt" is just a slag compared to the white salt of Liu Qi!!

The family that Guterre belongs to is also considered the top wealthy family in Bella City. Their leaders' sense of business and thinking ability are far from comparable to those of Guterre's level.

After getting the pack of white salt sent by Quinta, after a simple attempt, the head of the Gutter family understood that the value contained in this white salt was absolutely incalculable.

Salt, the second necessity for humans, second only to food (clothing ranks third) is a must-control industry for every dynasty and government. After all, as long as people with eyes know that people cannot lack salt.

In this way, even if the price of salt is high, even if people have the conditions, even the stingy people will grit their teeth and spend money to buy a little salt to maintain the human body. Even those who have no place to buy salt even use wood ash and the blood of livestock to replenish salt.

In this case, it goes without saying how high the profit of salt in the Roman city-state is.

Liu Qi's white salt not only does not have the bitterness of the salts that are usually eaten in the family, but the snow-white color also symbolizes white silver coins. I believe that those nobles will never care about spending several times more to buy this white salt that symbolizes status and wealth. Of course, the head of Guterre's family can see this.

Therefore, less than a day after Liu Qi disappeared, the Guterre family secretly launched a manpower to investigate Bella City. Of course, this kind of channel for making money cannot be made.

The efforts of the Gutter family were futile. Who could find someone who was no longer in this world? This was obviously impossible.

As a result, the Guterre's family only found the packs of seasonings and two packs of salt sold by Liu Qi, and the rest were nothing. The disappointed Guterre's family could only give up searching. After all, after searching for nearly half a month, the Guterre's family's final patience was wiped out. The Guterre's family, which had consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, gave up this secret search action that seemed to have no gains. They could only admit that they had no luck. It was probably that the merchant had left Bella City.

But the matter has not been finished yet, and Guterre and Quinta, who had contact with Liu Qi, were in trouble because of this.

Quinta missed an excellent opportunity because he did not realize the importance of Liu Qi. He was directly regarded as a scapegoat by the Gutter family and was demoted to an ordinary guard.

Guterre was caused by his beautiful wife. Guterre, who had been hiding in the manor outside the city because of this, suffered a disaster this time. Guterre, who gritted his teeth and did not compromise with some people, was deprived of the position of the manor manager and was recalled to Bella City to become an insignificant city hall clerk.

Guterre, who originally wanted to turn over with Liu Qi's white salt, completely lost his position in the family.

But Guterre was also lucky. He thought he had no hope, but Guterre, who had been drunk in a tavern in Bella City half a month ago, unexpectedly heard someone talking at his table, saying that the guy with black hair and black pupils living around him seemed to have gone out recently.

This unintentional conversation made Guttle suddenly feel energetic, with black hair and black pupils! Isn’t this unique to the businessman named ‘Liu’? Is he still in Bella City?

Have black hair and black pupils at the same time? Guterre can swear with Athena, the goddess of wisdom he believes in, that for the first time in his life, the only one who owns both is the only one who has both.

However, Guterre, who had woken up, also had a question in his heart. His family also searched secretly for almost a month and had no gains. Why did he suddenly get news after almost a month and a half? Is it a trap? Is it targeting him? But he obviously just temporarily came to this tavern.

All kinds of questions were circling in Guterre's mind, but no matter how question was, Guterre still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. Because he knew that this news was probably the only hope for his own turnaround.

From a manor manager who is in power to a small employee in Bella City who can only barely support his family, Guterres feels frustrated.

However, Guterre did not dare to rashly disclose the unconfirmed news to the family, but chose to investigate it by himself. After spending some time and energy, Guterre successfully found Liu Qi's residence.
