Chapter 1078 How could there be such exquisite tableware in the world?
Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao boarded the plane. Just as Ouyang Yunyao took eight boxes of goods out of her spatial storage and placed them at the cabin door, Chu Feng, Battalion Commander Lei, Ouyang Yunxiang, Xiao Hu, and several soldiers led several people in.
Upon seeing the boxes in front of Prince Jing and Princess Jing, Battalion Commander Lei stepped forward and quickly said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, Prince Jolif and his entourage are already waiting on the deck. Should these boxes of goods be moved down?"
Commander Lei, Chu Feng, Ouyang Yunxiang, and the other people from the Western Chu Kingdom who came with them all knew that the 'goods on the big iron bird' mentioned by the princess was just a decoy; in reality, the goods were all in the princess's Qiankun bag.
Chu Chenjing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the wooden crates. "Battalion Commander Lei, let Chu Feng and the others carry these crates downstairs. We'll be right down!"
As he spoke, he turned to Chu Feng, pointed to several boxes of goods, and instructed, "Chu Feng, you and Captain Xiao take some men and move these five boxes onto the deck first."
Although Ouyang Yunyao took out eight boxes of goods from her spatial storage, she only planned to take five boxes down. One of these boxes contained mostly ballpoint pens and a small number of fountain pens, while the other box was full of pen refills and ink cartridges.
Two other boxes contained various exquisite notebooks. The fifth box, in addition to notebooks, also contained some drawing paper and several sets of Western tableware, namely soup spoons and cutlery.
Ouyang Yunxiang stared at the remaining three boxes, his brows furrowed, and asked in confusion, "Little sister, shouldn't we take these three boxes down as well?" As a merchant, he always prepared plenty of goods for people to choose from.
Ouyang Yunyao smiled and blinked, looking at her second brother playfully, "Speaking of which, second brother, you're a boss, so why are you acting silly now? Don't you understand that scarcity makes things valuable? If I put them all out here, then they won't be so rare anymore."
She took three extra boxes of items as spares. She would only reluctantly take them out if the Loba people found them unusual and really wanted them.
Ouyang Yunxiang was taken aback upon hearing this, then a glint of inspiration flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand, patted his forehead, and said with a smile, "Hey, little sister is so thoughtful!"
On the deck, as soon as Chu Feng and his group placed the wooden crate on the ground, the blond soldiers on the ship surrounded them, chattering in Loba, their eyes full of curiosity.
When they caught sight of Prince Joliffe and General William's entourage approaching, they immediately made way for them.
Upon seeing this, Chu Feng stepped forward, bowed to Joliff, and walked to the boxes. He opened the lid of one of the boxes and said to Joliff, "Your Highness, the goods are here. Please take a look!"
Henry, standing beside Jolief, quickly translated, "Your Highness, Chief Guard Chu requests your inspection of the goods."
The neatly stacked, exquisite little boxes in the trunk immediately caught Jolief's eye.
He excitedly strode forward, touched the neatly arranged small boxes in the box, looked up at Chu Feng and asked, "Is this one of those magical pens?"
Henry quickly translated for Chu Feng and the others. Just then, Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao walked over. Upon hearing Henry's translation, Chu Chenjing smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes! This box contains all sorts of pens."
After Henry translated, Joliv asked eagerly, "Your Highness Prince Jing, can we sell all of these?"
Before Henry could translate, Ouyang Yunyao raised an eyebrow slightly and said in Loba, "Of course, Your Highness, as long as you have enough money, you can have as much as you want!"
Upon hearing this, Jolief was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! We want Princess Jing! We want them all!"
He immediately turned to Charles behind him and instructed, "Charles, go to the treasury and take stock to see how much silver we can get!"
“Yes, Your Highness!” Charles hurriedly left.
Ouyang Yunyao didn't forget to translate these words for Chu Chenjing and the others.
After listening to Ouyang Yunyao's translation, Chu Chenjing turned to Chu Feng and instructed him, "Chu Feng, go and open the rest of the boxes and let them all take a look."
He did this so that all the Roba people on the ship could see the novel items his queen had brought, broaden their horizons, and when they returned to the Roba continent, they would naturally spread the word, thus creating a buzz for the queen's goods.
He now understands his little princess's thoughts perfectly and is always trying to help her gain momentum.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Chu Feng and Xiao Hu responded and stepped forward, quickly opening the remaining four boxes.
The exquisite goods were displayed before the Roba people's eyes, and a gasp of amazement instantly rose on the deck. The Roba soldiers' discussions grew louder and louder.
Qiao Lifu's eyes lit up as he looked at the five full boxes of goods. He said to Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao, "Your Highness Prince Jing, Princess Jing, you...you have so many good things, can you sell them all to us?"
"Hmm!" Ouyang Yunyao smiled and nodded, feeling quite pleased with herself. Then she pointed to the small box beside him and said, "Your Highness, why don't you open it and take a look first!"
"Okay, okay! Let me take a look!" Joliv agreed readily, then eagerly picked up a small box and opened it. What he found inside surprised him. Inside were colorful, exquisitely crafted pens.
"This box contains ten ballpoint pens," Ouyang Yunyao explained with a smile when she saw his surprised expression.
He then pointed to a small, flat wooden box on the other side of the box, saying, "That box contains exquisite fountain pens; there's only one in each box."
"A fountain pen? Great, great!" Joliv nodded excitedly, staring at the exquisite wooden box and not bothering to say anything more.
Brian, who was standing nearby, was also busy looking around. He pointed to a small box in the trunk in front of him and looked at Ouyang Yunyao, "Princess Jing, is there a pen in here too?"
“Oh, that box doesn’t contain pens, it contains pen refills and ink cartridges,” Ouyang Yunyao said casually. Then she pointed to the three boxes next to him, “Those three boxes next to you contain all sorts of notebooks.”
She then pointed to the last box, the one in front of General William, and said, "That box not only contains exquisite notebooks, but also several sets of exquisite tableware; that's what's in that small wooden box."
"Cutlery?" Brian asked, puzzled.
Before Ouyang Yunyao could speak, General William, who was standing there, could not contain his curiosity and reached into the box in front of him to pick up the exquisite long wooden box that Ouyang Yunyao had mentioned.
He looked at the wooden box in his hand, his eyes lit up. The craftsmanship was truly exquisite. He exclaimed in admiration as he opened the wooden box.
When he saw the finely polished, delicately patterned knife, fork, and spoon in the wooden box, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"How can there be such exquisite tableware in the world?"
