Chapter 166: The Great Wilderness and Lonely City Open a Supermarket

Zheng Qiu followed Meng Tiansha and Qing Youcai into the central street of Chengdong Market.

On both sides are large houses with more than three floors, and the stone walls are painted with colorful paint to outline various patterns.

Pedestrians here are dressed in luxurious clothes, and the cultivators among them carry beautiful weapons. Some of the weapons are so brilliant that they are obviously not ordinary things.

On the central street, you can see parked carriages every thirty steps.

The carriage was loaded with goods, and the store clerks climbed up and down, moving the boxes into the house.

Such a prosperous scene cannot be seen in other places in the deserted city.

The three of them walked along the street and came to the door of the sixteenth house from the beginning. This was the middle section of the street with the best location.

Zheng Qiu raised his head and looked around. The house was four stories high and wide. There was a three-foot-wide gate at the front door, and there were three practitioners guarding each door.

On the top of the gate, there is a gold-red copper sign hanging horizontally, with the four characters "Dahuang Supermarket" written on it.

Under these four characters, there is also a sentence engraved on it to calm people down and make peace bring wealth!

Zheng Qiu was doubly surprised. He turned around and asked Meng Tiansha, "Instructor Meng, is this the merchant I want to meet today? Why is it called a supermarket? What does it mean?"

Meng Tiansha scratched his head and couldn't answer, so he patted Qing Youcai on the shoulder and asked him to speak.

Qing Youcai simply explained, "The owner of this merchant's surname is Ning. He has the experience of leaving the wilderness and traveling to various places in Yunxiu. It is said that this method of opening a shop was learned at Jueqing Suixinzhuang, one of the ten major sects.

Not to mention, this kind of store called a supermarket is very attractive. After Boss Ning introduced it from Jueqing Suixinzhuang, he became one of the richest businessmen in the isolated city in less than ten years."

"So magical?" Zheng Qiu stuck out his tongue, his face full of disbelief.

"Don't believe it, you will understand it after you go in, and you will definitely like this trading method."

Meng Tiansha walked to the gate, saluted the cultivators guarding the gate, and said, "Brothers, I am the captain of Liesha Treasure Hunting Team, Meng Tiansha.

Boss Ning and I have made an appointment to meet today to discuss business, please let me know."

When several cultivators heard that it was the Liesha Treasure Hunting Team, their faces immediately burst into smiles.

One of them replied, "You are Captain Meng of Liesha Team. Boss Ning has told you to just go upstairs and find him."

Oh, by the way, the gatekeeper who bumped into you a few days ago has been driven away by Boss Ning, I hope Captain Meng won't mind."

Meng Tiansha grinned and said, "Hey, why would I, Meng Tiansha, care about this kind of thing? You guys are busy, I'll go see Boss Ning."

After that, he took Qing Youcai and Zheng Qiu into Dahuang Supermarket.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Zheng Qiu kept looking around, his curious eyes scanning every corner.

Dahuang Supermarket is an entire hall without any rooms. Iron shelves are placed in rows after rows, and all kinds of products are displayed on the shelves.

There is a small sign hanging below each product, with the price and name engraved on it. Some of the weird items also have a simple introduction.

Practitioners who come to buy things only need to select what they like on the display racks and then go to the counter at the entrance to pay.

It is very convenient to avoid the tedious process of picking up products, looking at the products, asking about prices, negotiating prices, etc.

Zheng Qiu felt that his horizons were broadened. It turned out that products could still be sold like this.

Going up the stairs, he found that the second floor also sold things in this way, but the third floor had no display racks and was a traditional over-the-counter transaction method.

Seemingly seeing the doubts in Zheng Qiu's mind, Qing Youcai explained, "Only low-value and large-quantity items can be sold on iron shelves. Treasures that are precious must still be traded in traditional ways, which is both safe and affordable."

Don’t worry.”

The three of them climbed to the fourth floor and came to the end of the long corridor.

Meng Tiansha saluted the cultivators beside the huge carved stone door and said, "I am the captain of Liesha Treasure Hunting Team, Meng Tiansha, here to see Boss Ning."

The cultivator nodded, raised his palm and pressed it against the stone door, bright flames rising from his palm.

Click, click, and with the sound of friction, the stone door was slowly pushed open, revealing a room ten feet square.

The room was splendid, with tables, chairs, and bookshelves all inlaid with gold wire and jewelry. There were dense lamps and stones placed on the ceiling, like a sky full of stars.

Zheng Qiu's head was filled with the words "so big and so luxurious".

Behind the large table sat a slightly stout middle-aged man, who must be Boss Ning. Of course, compared with Mr. Jiang Yin from the gladiatorial tournament, Boss Ning was completely slim.

Boss Ning's clothes were not as luxurious as Zheng Qiu imagined. On the contrary, they were very simple.

She is wearing a blue plain robe, a jade crown of the same color on her head, and no ornaments on her hands and neck.

Meng Tiansha and Qing Youcai stepped forward and saluted, "Boss Ning."

"I've met Boss Ning." When Zheng Qiu saw this, he also followed suit and saluted.

Boss Ning smiled and waved, "That's not necessary. Please sit down, please."

While talking, three cultivators ran over from one side of the room and placed three gold-wired wooden chairs behind them.

While taking his seat, Zheng Qiu glanced in the direction where the cultivators were running. There were a total of five people waiting there, like servants.

Boss Ning spoke, drawing Zheng Qiu's attention back.

"Captain Meng, I believe in the ability of your Liesha team. Since we can win the dragon eggs in the gladiatorial competition, what's the problem with treasure hunting?

But there is one thing. My Dahuang Supermarket mainly sells low-priced, commonly used items and wins by large quantities. Treasures are not the main category.

If the amount of treasures provided by Captain Meng is too large, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat them here and it will delay the development of Liesha Team."

Meng Tiansha laughed, shook his head and replied, "It doesn't matter, we have other things..."

Before he could say the words "Other merchants are willing to accept them", Qing Youcai quickly interrupted him and changed his words, "We have other goods for sale at low prices and commonly used ones."

Seeing Qing Youcai interrupting him, Meng Tiansha's heart skipped a beat, knowing that he almost said the wrong thing, so he immediately echoed, "Yes, there are other goods."

Seeing Meng Tiansha's insistence, Boss Ning stopped asking further questions and nodded, "Okay, let's try it for two months first. If the cooperation goes well, I will send someone to collect the goods."

"Thank you very much, Boss Ning!"

Meng Tiansha bowed his hands again and saluted, then patted Zheng Qiu next to him on the shoulder and introduced, "Boss Ning, this kid is a member of our treasure hunting team, his name is Zheng Qiu. Zheng Qiu, please get up and salute."

Zheng Qiu immediately stood up, bowed and said, "I've met Boss Ning!"

Boss Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheng Qiu for a while, then turned his gaze back to Meng Tiansha.

According to the rules of the treasure hunt team, the person he can trade with can only be the captain Meng Tiansha, and now that Zheng Qiu is introduced to him, he obviously hopes that Zheng Qiu will have the same trading power as the captain.

He sighed with a smile, "Captain Meng is really willing to spend a lot of money in order to retain talents!"
