This is a market specially reserved for small businesses. There are temporary ones and long-term rental ones; some cover an area of only a few feet, only enough for one person to stand; some are one foot long and wide, with a row of counters in the middle.
It’s more than enough to hire a few guys.
Yang Zhen is lingering in front of a street stall selling various sundries.
He took a fancy to something called Han Shui Jing Soul.
This is the essence revealed by some aquatic monsters before they die. It is light blue and looks like crystal. The price of a thumb-sized water essence is about five hundred spirit stones.
This is exactly what Yiyi asked him to look for, a spiritual object that can absorb the innate water aura and store it.
After some bargaining, Yang Zhen bought it for four hundred and fifty spirit stones.
Chen Fugui's stall is also in this area, about a hundred meters away from where he is now. Yang Zhen has been wandering around this market for half an hour, but has never been close to it. The market is bustling, so there is no need to worry.
Chen Fugui discovered him.
Guessing that it was almost time, he walked over.
"In the past half hour, his stall sold a total of three soul-nurturing grasses, ten pounds of blood-coagulating grass, a piece of blazing sun iron ore, and five first-level low-grade talismans, and the prices are..."
Yiyi quietly informed him of what he had overheard.
The stall that Yang Zhen rented was about three feet long and wide. There was a desk and a bench on it. On the front of the table were engraved three large characters "Dexingtang", and below it were a number of small characters that read "Long-term
Selling soul-nourishing grass, blood-coagulating grass..." and other explanations.
Chen Fugui is sitting on a stool, holding a brush in one hand and pressing a piece of white paper with the other, writing and drawing.
Feeling that someone was approaching, he didn't even raise his head and muttered: "Everything sold in this store is clearly marked, fellow Taoist, please help yourself."
Yang Zhen smiled softly and called: "Uncle Fugui."
Chen Fugui's hand holding the pen paused slightly, put the pen down, then raised his head and said in surprise: "My little boss!"
"How many kinds of talismans can you make now?" Yang Zhen asked.
Some time ago, Chen Fugui complained that setting up a stall was really boring and wanted to learn how to make talismans in his free time. Yang Zhen also let him do it, as long as it didn't delay the business.
"It's still the simplest first-level low-grade talismans, but occasionally I can sell a few, which is pretty good." Chen Fugui said cheerfully.
The two chatted for a while. Yang Zhen took the ledger and saw that the previous transactions were clearly recorded on it, and the amount of each transaction was exactly the same as what Yiyi Tan heard.
He was very satisfied and had confidence in the next arrangements.
"That's it for today," he ordered: "Let's go find a place to drink tea!"
"Okay!" Chen Fugui responded with a smile.
……
In a teahouse with simple decoration, Yang Zhen asked Chen Fugui to order a pot of spiritual tea, and the two drank slowly.
He took out a storage bag and handed it to Chen Fugui:
"I originally had some spiritual stones, but I just spent them. There are 12,000 kilograms of coagulated blood grass, and you sold them all..."
"Then, you go and change to a larger stall, one that is one foot long and one foot wide. The annual rent is about 1,200 yuan, and you pay half a year first..."
"Hang a plaque of Dexingtang in front of the stall. When business gets better, we can rent a shop directly..."
"After a while, Aunt Fu will send a young man over. You have met him before, his name is Tian Tiezhu..."
"From now on, when you return to the county every month, you must hand over the account book for that month to Aunt Fu for review..."
"Starting from this month, your salary will be increased to twenty spirit stones..."
"In addition, I heard from Aunt Fu that because of what happened to the Zhu family, my aunt wants to leave Shuyang County. In this case, you might as well bring your aunt to Zhoucheng, and I will help you find a place to live at your expense. Of course, future subsidies
But it’s gone…”
"Also, I will help you contact a long-term contact with the Cultivation Cave, and you won't have to pay for it either..."
In order to save money, Chen Fugui rented a small house in a mortal's residence outside Fangshi, and rushed to Chuiyun Mountain every day before dawn. First, he went to the rented cave to practice for an hour, and then came to Fangshi to do business, and did not return to his residence until Youshi.
Very hard work.
"You will come with me to meet a friend later," Yang Zhen warned: "This friend is not good at talking. It just so happens that you don't want to talk to him too much about our business."
It was close to You hour, Chen Fugui paid the bill, and the two of them went to the restaurant where he and Manager Cui met.
After waiting at the door for a while, Wang Shaohe arrived. This was the friend Yang Zhen was going to introduce to Chen Fugui tonight.
After drinking for three rounds, Yang Zhen took out a carefully prepared gift, with a total value of about fifty spiritual stones, including ten fire jujubes.
Wang Shaohe has four spiritual roots, including the fire element. This fire jujube is extremely useful to him. Before practicing some fire spells, eating one of these jujubes can enhance his perception of the fire aura.<
/p>
Wang Shaohe opened the gift and was indeed very satisfied. He said politely: "It's a great gift. It's a great gift."
"My nephew has always remembered Uncle Sixteen's help to my nephew in the past three years, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you!" Yang Zhen said with a smile.
"You're welcome," Wang Shaohe said hurriedly: "You are also a Qi Practitioner now, so let's treat each other as equals."
"How can that be done!" Yang Zhen quickly refused.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then Yang Zhen made her intentions clear.
As one of the top immortal cultivating families in the city, the Wang family occupies a large area of Luiyun Mountain. There are rows of houses there, which are not only provided for temporary residence by friends traveling to and from the city, but can also be rented to acquaintances for a long time. p>
In addition, the Wang family's cave in the mountain also has a lot of space, which can also be rented out, but it is generally not open to the public.
Now that it was easy to talk, Wang Shaohe quickly agreed to clean out a courtyard and find a cave for the middle stage of Qi training to rent to Chen Fugui.
The total cost of the two items is a monthly rent of thirty spirit stones, which will be handed over to the Wang family by Chen Fugui every three months.
After helping Chen Fugui solve his worries, Yang Zhen can finally go to the sect with peace of mind and participate in the selection.
……
After dinner, he sent Wang and Chen to the palace. Without stopping, he called a carriage and came to the yard he rented in Zhoucheng, where he put down this batch of Xuanyang wood.
He will notify Manager Cui to send someone to pick up these Xuanyang wood. As for the payment, it will not be too late to ask for it next time.
As he began to practice, he had more and more ways to protect himself, and he no longer had to be so careful about small details.
After doing all this, he returned to his residence in Zhougong. It was already Haishizheng.
The courtyard was brightly lit, but all the schoolchildren participating in the selection from various counties had arrived. Some familiar monks rushed to each other's doors, while the unattended schoolchildren were laughing and making noise, making it very lively.
Zhao Yue'er didn't sleep either. When she heard the noise, she ran out of her room and found Yang Zhen.
"Little Stone!" The little girl waved excitedly, lowering her voice: "Mommy has prepared a lot of things for you, come and see!"
