"What about canned goods, preserved fruits, and candies?" A representative from a territory closer to White Stone City spoke up loudly. They weren't lacking food but gold coins, so it was these non-necessity luxuries that they valued most.
Seeing that the food trade negotiations were almost over, Shaliya continued: "I believe everyone here knows the market prices for these high-end goods. We don't expect much, still pricing them as common food, merely ten times their price. Details of the pricing can be renegotiated later."
The representative who just spoke was stunned, not expecting Shaliya to set such a low price.
Because high-quality goods and ordinary food are entirely different. High-quality goods are mainly consumed by aristocrats and their offspring. Especially when they are scarce, the prices can skyrocket.
Even ordinary high-end food is usually priced at least twenty times the amount of regular food, weighing the same.
