Well now that I have spent 1,000 drachmas on some barley, I better find some cheap wine because there are a lot of expensive stuff that I want to buy for myself. Here we go. As I head down to the winery, I encounter the same guy who sold me the barley. He had just sold the same amount of barley that he gave me to a strange man, but had charged him less. By the way the man looked at the guy who sold me the barley, it seemed like he was the most superior person in Greece. The seller ran away with tears running down his face. I walked in and noticed that the man was bulk and had a burnt face.
" Excuse me sir. But do you happen to have some wine made from fresh grapes?"( They traded with other city-states for wine. Most of their wine was made from grapes.) I asked with a frightened look on my face.
" Are you talking to me? Cause if you're talking to me, then you've found the right person." Said the man with a tough tone.
" So how much do you want for it?" I asked with a handful of drachmas in my hand.
" Oh, this isn't for sell." he answered with a bluffing tone. " But if you want it, you have to talk to the manager." He said with a sarcastic sound coming from his voice.
" Well who's the manager?" I asked
" You're looking at him fella." he answered " If you want it, then you should come back in two hours and enter the Winna Wine contest." He said
"Okay then. See you in two hours." I said. Now I have to get back to the jewelry shop. I have found it and I see two shops. Both of them selling jewelry.
" Do any of you two women have a necklace made from fine gold?" I calmly asked.
" I'll sell you one for 2,000 drachmas. It is has 10,000 karats." The women to the right said
" I'll sell you one that's the same for 1,000 drachmas." the other woman said
" 900 drachmas!"
" 800 drachmas!"
" 700 drachmas!"
" 600 drachmas!"
" 500 drac..."
" Will any of you give it to me for free!!!!?" I yelled out interrupting their discussion.
" I will." said the women to the right.
" Okay I'll take it." I said. The women gave me the necklace. As I left, I said, " Pleasure doing business with you." It has now been two hours so I went down to the winery.
" Here you go son." The guy with the burnt face said handing me two bottles of wine. " The king was so happy from his marriage that he decided to give everybody in Greece two bottles of wine." He explained.
" So you're telling me that everyone is a winner?" I asked in confusion.
" Yes!" He yelled out.
" Thanks." I said. I headed out the winery. I made the position again and left for my new destination.
