From the Martial Arts to the World of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 327: Meeting Old Friends in Jijuan Mall 4k
Li Goudan, whose real name is Li Erquan, is just over thirty this year and is an authentic native of Shangcheng.
But everyone only calls him by his nickname Goudan. To this day, even his neighbors don’t know what his real name is.
Early in the morning, Li Goudan, who was wearing a red cloth robe, his dark face turned red from the cold, casually wiped his nose with rough hands, shook his shoulders and entered the largest vegetable market in Dongcheng.
His mother-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for him two days ago, but he was extremely happy.
Li Goudan then decided to buy some chicken for his mother-in-law to replenish her health.
After entering the vegetable market, you are greeted by a lively and noisy atmosphere, as if you have entered another world, completely different from the silent outside world.
"How much is a pound of rice?"
“Why has the price of potatoes increased again? It’s rising every day!”
"The broad beans you sold me yesterday are not fresh. Why are you bullying me?!"
As soon as Li Goudan entered the vegetable market, he saw some stalls selling vegetables and fruits, with vendors and customers haggling over prices.
Li Goudan bought some celery and potatoes, and then walked inside. The meat and poultry were still further inside.
At this moment, his eyes paused, showing a bit of surprise.
Lu's Meat Shop and Liu's Meat Shop, which used to be bustling with business on weekdays, now had only a few people at the door.
However, Hou Mazi's stall, which had always been slow in business, was densely packed with people.
Is there any discount at Hou Mazi today?
With such doubts, Li Goudan walked towards Hou Mazi's stall.
I could only hear Hou Mazi's loud voice shouting continuously: "Black-footed chicken, fresh black-footed chicken meat, only costs 150 yuan per pound."
Yes, you heard it right, not three hundred coins, not two hundred coins, only one hundred and fifty coins!"
Li Goudan was shocked when he heard this.
The price of this black-footed chicken is too cheap!
Usually, the price of black-footed chicken is lower than other chickens due to the quality of the meat. Now it is even cheaper by half.
Others looked excited and responded:
"Hunt Mazi, stop being so nagging and hurry up and give me two kilograms!"
"I want five pounds, I want five pounds!"
Of course, some people have raised doubts:
"Your chicken is so cheap, won't it die of disease?"
After hearing this, Hou Mazi stopped doing it.
He angrily slapped a whole chicken with its feathers off on the table: "I have been selling chickens for more than 20 years! When did you see me selling stale chickens!
Come on, come on, look at the knife edge on its neck, look at its eyes, are they bright or not? Look at whether the claws are pointing up or down!"
Hou Mazi was frothing and aggressive, and his eyes were full of evil.
The person who had questioned just now did not dare to speak anymore.
After hearing this, Li Goudan saw more and more people gathering around Hou Mazi's butcher shop, and he hurriedly pushed his way into the crowd.
Originally planning to buy only one kilogram of chicken, he made a surprising decision and bought two kilograms!
Seeing these two kilograms of chicken, the mother-in-law will definitely be very happy and won’t even think about giving birth to a big fat boy next year!
Li Goudan thought happily.
What Li Godan experienced this morning is just a microcosm of the drastic changes in the mall's chicken market.
In the next few days, people discovered that the butcher shops that previously only sold snowflake chickens and red-combed chickens produced by Jinzhongmen and Eagle Wing Men also began to secretly purchase goods from the Jinhu Gang Chicken Farm.
After all, they also have to make a living.
The chickens from Jinhu Bang Chicken Farm are sold at low prices and sell well. Who would have trouble with money?
Naturally, the Golden Tiger Gang welcomes everyone. In just a few days, Black-footed Chicken's share of the market is getting larger and larger, and in an instant it is far ahead.
The managers of the chicken farms at Eagle Wing Gate and Admiralty Gate were worried.
Shipments are getting less and less these days. If this continues, the chickens will rot in your hands.
If it were an ordinary chicken farm that disrupted the market so much and left everyone without food, they would have adopted tough measures long ago.
But behind them was Liu Mang, who was in full swing recently and had just tied up a celebrity, so naturally they didn't dare to make any small moves.
So the people in charge of the chicken farm had to report the situation to the sect leader.
The heads of the Golden Bell Sect and the Eagle Wing Sect exchanged their needs and decided to lower the price and start a price war with the Golden Tiger Gang.
The market's sense of smell is always the sharpest.
After the prices of snowflake chickens and red-combed chickens produced in Admiralty Gate and Eagle Wing Gate were lowered, although they are still higher than black-footed chickens, due to their slightly better taste, they have stopped the sharp decline in market share.
On this day, Qi Dazui found Liu Mang and told him about the change in market trends.
Liu Mang waved his hand and said proudly: "We have three million taels of silver! Smash it, let me keep smashing it until they hurt, and bring down the price completely!"
On the second day, people who came to the wet market to buy vegetables were shocked to find that the price of black-footed chicken had dropped by less than half.
On the third day, Snowflake Chicken and Red Crown Chicken followed closely and continued to lower their prices.
On the fourth day, the price of black-footed chicken continued to drop, and it was already a complete loss-making sale.
At this point, the snowflake chicken and red-combed chicken can no longer play.
After all, not everyone has the courage to sell chickens at a loss like Liu Mang.
Liu Mang did this because he wanted to get something more important than money.
The relevant persons in charge of the Admiralty Gate and the Eagle Wing Gate came to the Liu Mansion and asked to see Liu Mang.
Liu Mang proposed to buy their chicken farm. After being rejected again, the price of black-footed chicken continued to drop the next day, not much higher than that of new rice.
People in the entire mall are excited!
Everyone in the city bought chicken, and chicken bibimbap became very popular.
As a result, the prices of rice and pork have even been driven down.
Ordinary people are happy because they have made greater profits.
But the external force represented by Liu Mang has become a troublemaker in the eyes of the Shangcheng sect family.
They couldn't understand Liu Mang's thoughts.
Even if you just made a lot of money, you can't be so defeated, right?
And with such a loss-making business, three million taels of silver won't last long.
But Liu Mang believed that the first ones would be overwhelmed by the Eagle Wing Gate and the Admiralty Gate. He waited for them to come to see them again.
Meng Mansion.
The pale-faced Second Young Master Meng, Meng Yuanqing, was sitting on the table with a gloomy look on his face, waiting for his servants to bring him food.
"Why is it this kind of chicken again?"
Meng Yuanqing frowned and picked up a black chicken foot from the basin with a kuaizi.
This kind of chicken tastes very bad and he has never eaten it before. He doesn't like it very much.
The maid next to her said carefully: "This is black-footed chicken. The price is very cheap now, and there are so many people buying it."
"Black-footed chicken?"
"Yes, I heard it was sold by those outsiders."
Meng Yuanqing naturally knew who the outsider the maid was talking about was.
His complexion turned from white to red, and a surge of anger instantly rose from the soles of his feet to the sky.
boom!
The porcelain basin filled with black-footed chickens was thrown to the ground and shattered.
"I pay so much money to the kitchen every year, so they buy me this kind of chicken? If you want to take advantage of my money, you have to be prepared to lose your head!"
Meng Yuanqing picked up a knife, rushed to a room in the mansion angrily, and directly hacked the steward in charge of purchasing to death!
This incident even alarmed the ancestor of the Meng family who was in seclusion, and the news spread outside the Meng family and became a joke among everyone in the mall.
When black-footed chickens crazily occupied the market, the Wanyue Chamber of Commerce and the Golden Tiger Gang were also officially launched.
The two chose an auspicious day to open and unveil the business at the same time. There were flowers and firecrackers in front of the door, announcing to the mall the birth of a new force.
With Liu Mang sitting behind him, Fang Qingtang negotiated cooperation with many forces in the mall and simultaneously carried out multiple projects such as tea, weapons, and silk.
The Golden Tiger Gang also started their old business, launching several large boats down the river, and picked up two escorts on the first day of business.
As a result, everyone in Jiangcheng not only established a firm foothold in the mall. They also began to gradually grow and develop. The upward trend was obvious and no one could stop it.
After the price war had been going on for a month, Admiralty Gate and Eagle Wing Gate finally came to seek peace again.
Eagle Wing Gate had no choice but to sell the large chicken farm to Liu Mang, and Admiralty Gate also sold one of the two.
Liu Mang did not kill them all, but stopped when he saw the opportunity.
At this point, the turbulent chicken price war has come to an end. Chicken prices have gradually returned to a lower than normal position.
Liu Mang owns three major chicken farms and can kill more than 10,000 chickens every day. He can accumulate about 500 energy, and can accumulate 15,000 in a month.
But this is far from reaching his current limit, and he is already considering letting Blackfoot chickens enter other big cities.
When will I accumulate enough energy to advance Tianying Sword Technique to the pinnacle of divine connection and truly enter the realm of fame and fortune?
He will leave the mall and go to the Four Sacred Mountains to become a disciple.
Half of the three-year period agreed with Mr. Yin back then has passed and cannot be delayed any longer.
Since the Golden Tiger Gang and the Wan Yue Chamber of Commerce were on the right track, Liu Mang became idle again and liked to run to various teahouses throughout the day.
The most visited one is of course Sihai Tower.
In order to avoid causing a sensation and causing unnecessary trouble, Liu Mang used the bone-shrinking technique that he had not used for a long time and transformed into the appearance of Qian Kun.
The people in the teahouse come from all over the world, from all walks of life, and have all kinds of information.
"In three months' time, Kong Huameng, the leader of the Ba Sword Sect, will have a decisive battle with the leader of the Handcheng Sword Sect.
It is said that both of them are only one step away from being promoted to Grandmaster and are the top masters in the world. I really want to take a look!"
"The victory or defeat between them will determine who of the eldest prince and the second prince will ascend the throne.
It’s a pity that the imperial court can only control some cities in the north now. Even if the emperor becomes emperor, the taste will be far worse than before.”
"Hey, Ji Sheng, the king of Saibei, is really pitiful. He was struggling to resist the Hu people in the Northern Desert, and the generals of the Hu people turned around and attacked Qiucheng, his home base.
Originally this was nothing, but the court officials in Qiucheng abandoned the city and fled because they were greedy for life and feared death.
Ji Sheng's family, more than 300 people in total, were beheaded by the Hu tribe, and even his two-year-old son was not spared!"
"This damn dog official! If I were Ji Sheng, I would definitely not be loyal to the imperial court anymore!"
"The leader of the Baihua Sword Sect is about to celebrate his eightieth birthday. It is said that many forces in our mall have received invitations."
"Isn't this normal? The leader of the Baihua Sword Sect is the leader of the Rich Water Alliance. And the Admiralty Sect, the Meng Family, and the Wave Sect are all members of the Rich Water Alliance."
Liu Mang ordered a jar of wine and three kilograms of beef, and was listening to everyone's chatter with relish.
He turned his head to look aside inadvertently, and suddenly his eyes moved slightly.
There was a man in green clothes with ragged clothes and dirty hair, begging for food at the door of a restaurant.
"Please, give me something to eat. My sister is seriously ill now and hasn't had anything hot to eat in several days."
"Go, go, go away. What does your sister's death have to do with me? Don't stand in the way and scare away our guests!"
The man looked angry after hearing this, but turned around and walked to another restaurant.
Liu Mang looked at it, put down his kuaizi, turned around and left the Sihai Tower, chasing the man.
"Brother Zhang!" he shouted.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the man suddenly raised his head and glanced at Liu Mang, turned around and ran away quickly to the side alley, not even bothering to beg.
Liu Mang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it.
Only then did he remember that he now looked like someone else.
Liu Mang thought for a moment, then hid his aura and followed the man into the alley.
Turning left and right, he followed the man in green to the door of an abandoned old house.
The man in green now opened the door carefully and his steps became much gentler.
"Brother, is that you?"
A young and weak female voice came from inside.
Liu Mang quietly jumped to the roof, gently opened a brick, and the situation below came into view.
The man in green came to the bed, where a pale-faced girl, who looked to be only seven or eight years old, was lying there.
"Brother, have you brought anything to eat?" the girl asked hopefully.
"Of course." The man in green smiled and took out two steamed buns that were slightly flattened from his arms.
He picked it up bit by bit and fed it to the girl.
"Brother, you can eat too." The girl said with concern.
"I've already eaten enough and came back." The man smiled.
At this moment, he heard a knock on the door outside the house.
The man in green looked tense and asked his sister to hide under the quilt. He then took out a sword from under the bed and walked cautiously towards the door.
When he opened the door, he saw a tall and familiar figure, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Liu, Liu Mang?"
"Brother Zhang, long time no see." Liu Mang smiled.
The man in green clothes in front of me is none other than Zhang Xinye, a direct descendant of the Zhang family in Jingcheng.
When Liu Mang saw him for the first time, he was holding a gorgeous feather fan in his hand, had a handsome face, and was talking eloquently.
He even looms among Wang Yuanjian's group of disciples, occupying the position of leader, and is unspeakably romantic.
When I saw him for the second time, he led everyone to visit Guanjian Tower, showing full courtesy to a landlord.
He was so confident and brilliant at that time.
Unexpectedly, now, I would end up going out to beg.
Of course, this is also because Zhang Xinye was seriously injured. Now, Liu Mang can see that he is only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
But if you want to steal something, it's not impossible.
But with the pride of the Zhang Xinye family, they would rather go hungry and suffer than do these things.
"Brother Liu, you, how did you find this place?" Zhang Xinye said in a solemn tone, then lowered his eyes, not daring to look at this acquaintance from the southeast.
"Brother Zhang, don't you invite me to come in and sit down?" Liu Mang said with a smile.
Zhang Xinye raised his head, saw that Liu Mang didn't look like he was joking, and nodded lightly.
