Lowland Republic, Antwerp City.
Bang!
The tavern's wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and a disheveled figure rushed in, waving an order sheet in hand.
Without waiting for his eyes to adjust to the dim interior, he shouted urgently:
"Mr. Jamie, quick! Quick! Are there any tulip bulbs left? The Sak Empire has placed a large order!"
The middle-aged merchant, who was in the corner of the tavern drinking with a few companions, quickly put down his wine glass upon seeing the newcomer:
"Ah, it's Mr. Fitch. I have four hundred kilograms of ordinary varieties harvested in September, and ten heads of rare ones. Price..."
Currently, tulip transactions in the market mainly include two types: ordinary varieties and rare ones.
Ordinary varieties are priced by weight, while rare ones are priced by head. The price difference between them is larger than between copper fuer and Golden Lion coins.
