Chapter 1942 Trouble is coming (happy New Year’s Day in the third update)
Leaving someone to guard the door? Qu Jianlei blinked twice, really not understanding this custom.
This kind of custom only exists among big families, and those small families really don't deserve it.
If you have to force yourself to imitate something, it's not impossible, but it will often cause more trouble, so it's better not to learn.
Anyway, Qu Jianlei has never been exposed to similar information. This shows that it is really difficult to truly integrate into a society.
Fortunately, Qu Jianlei is calm and knowledgeable, "Two golden elixirs?"
You are so rude! Ji Xiaohua secretly muttered in his heart, let me, the golden elixir of the Ji family, guard the door?
But in fact, this is what he planned. Otherwise, it would not show the sincerity of the Ji family.
The only difference is that it is more appropriate for him to take the initiative, and when the other party says this, it feels like he is being patronized.
But the current situation of the Ji family, and look at Hongye Ridge... Just leave it to them, at least it can be considered as normal.
So he nodded, "Exactly."
"You definitely can't be treated as a servant," Qu Jianlei said without hesitation, "Just sit casually at the door, just for recreation."
"However, we cannot absolutely guarantee food and accommodation. It is best for two real people to have a place of their own."
He didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed when he said this.
Whether it was in his previous life or in the empire before, he had seen a lot of "bringing your own dry food".
Anyway, this was not something he proposed on his own initiative, and there was still a risk of being infiltrated by the other party, so it would be better to set the rules in place from the beginning.
If the other party can't accept it, it doesn't matter. The worst is that they will break up.
Who would have thought that after he finished his statement, Ji Xiaohua looked at him deeply and nodded slightly, "Fellow Taoist is indeed... Bingxue is smart!"
How could I be so smart? Qu Jianlei really couldn't understand it, and wasn't this word used to describe women?
After Ji Xiaohua left, Jing Yuexin sighed, "Boss, your request is a good one. It seems like an alliance but not an alliance."
After hearing this, Qu Jianlei reacted.
Ji Xiaohua's usual whereabouts are very secretive, but there are so many children in the Ji family that it is impossible to hide them even if they want to.
Therefore, it would be strange for the two golden elixirs of the Ji family to guard the gate and not be recognized by others.
Then this question becomes interesting. Others will inevitably want to think about what is going on with the Ji family and Hongye Ridge...?
But at this moment, he mentioned that he was responsible for food and accommodation, which was equivalent to a moderate renunciation, but not a complete renunciation.
And this is probably what Ji Xiaohua meant - neither party wanted to be deeply bound to the other, that's why he received such praise.
"What you said makes sense. I didn't see it clearly at first. Thanks to you for reminding me."
"It's all trivial," Jing Yuexin smiled lightly, "I am a woman and I pay great attention to boundaries."
"There are many women who have no sense of boundaries," Qu Jianlei muttered softly, but said nothing more.
The store opened the next day, but it only opened for one morning and then closed. It would not open again until two mornings later.
People who come in will inevitably complain, saying that after traveling all over the country for so many years, they have never seen your family doing business like this.
This is not a business attitude at all.
It happened that the person on duty was Yuanyuan, and she said calmly, "My family's business is not an individual business."
“When setting up a store, I’m worried that people won’t be able to find the space.”
This is a bit exaggerated, but the person sitting in the shop is Jin Dan, and there are two Jin Dan leaning against the wall at the door, seemingly sleeping but not sleeping.
So I am really qualified to say this.
However, there are indeed some people who do not believe in evil and stand at a distance and talk, "How can this store still be open? It's not like that...that one?"
The discussion was not loud, but not quiet either. Even Yuan Yuan could hear it to some extent.
But this is a city, and she can't do anything to people standing in a public area chatting.
"It's closed," she could only retaliate. "The day after tomorrow I will open later and close earlier."
"Fellow Taoist, you can open the door the day after tomorrow," a Jin Dan from the Ji family said lazily.
"That's right," another Jin Dan agreed, "there are many people watching the excitement, and those who really need it will find a way to contact them."
"Then close the door," Yuanyuan is also a straightforward person - the key is that she knows very well that the team is not here to do business.
But she didn't go back to the backyard after closing the door. Instead, she pulled up a deck chair and sat on the street chatting with the two Jindans from the Ji family.
Anyone who has seen someone fishing at work will know her state - no matter how much or how little the company earns, it has nothing to do with me.
As they talked, the three of them started chatting about why Baiyao Valley hadn’t come to visit yet.
This is not just a question raised by Yuanyuan, in fact the entire team is speculating: Is Baiyaogu really so generous?
A Jin Dan said, "You haven't seen how ruthlessly they deal with other alchemists. They are definitely not as kind as you think."
"Is this normal?" Yuanyuan was really not surprised by this. "If you don't treat your colleagues cruelly, you will be destroying yourself."
Another Jindan hesitated and said, "I heard...it seems that someone is going to condense the baby."
"The fourth Nascent Soul of Bai Yao Valley?" Yuanyuan whispered softly.
Two months passed in such an ordinary day in the blink of an eye.
Although the store only opened every now and then, during this period, it still received five sets of Nascent Soul Techniques one after another.
With the Thousand-Hand Immortal as an example, people who come to trade have already made a list of Nascent Soul Kung Fu and finalized their needs before going to work on the Kung Fu.
In this way, unnecessary expenses are saved.
Correspondingly, the store paid ten portions of repair fluid.
On this day, Yuanyuan was sitting outside the shop, chatting with two Jindans. A group of people came from a distance, with the two Jindans walking at the front.
The group of people walked to the door of the store and looked down at Yuanyuan sitting on the lounge chair.
Without saying a word, the leader took out an antique bronze mirror with two deep cracks on it.
He looked at Yuanyuan and spoke slowly, "Shopkeeper, do you still remember this thing?"
"Remember," Yuanyuan nodded slightly. This is an extremely unique piece of protective equipment. It is more than just a heart guard.
The mirror is not only extremely strong and can block physical and magical attacks, but there is also a lot of space in the mirror.
Once the situation is in danger, activate the breast shield to collect the enemy into the mirror world.
Check out the correct version one by one!
However, the mirror world can only trap people but cannot refine them. The owner of the mirror can release people and subdue them after finding helpers.
The effect of this magic weapon is quite good. Considering that it is only at the golden elixir level, it is really rare.
When this person was found before, there were two cracks on the mirror, so it was considered useless.
Later, he used two sets of Nascent Soul Techniques to replace four parts of the repair fluid, which supposedly could be repaired.
"The repairs are useless," Jin Dan looked at her and spoke calmly, but there was irrepressible anger in his tone.
"What does this have to do with me?" Yuanyuan didn't look at him at all, her eyelids drooped, "I only sell repair fluid, not repair."
"What do you mean by that?" Jin Dan suppressed his anger and said, "Can you guarantee that it's not the problem with the repair fluid?"
"Okay," a Jin Dan from the Ji family said. He took a look at the breast protector, "I can't see any change."
"Look at this," Jin Dan handed the mirror over, "there are tiny cracks."
There were originally only two deep marks on the mirror, but now there are indeed a lot of tiny cracks next to the deep marks.
It felt like it was completely beyond repair, no wonder he was so annoyed.
Ji Jia Jin Dan said calmly, "There was a problem during the repair. What does the repair fluid have to do with it?"
"I asked Master Lei from the Weapon Refining Alliance to fix it!" Jin Dan said angrily, "You think it's his problem?"
Master Lei is also a Jindan cultivator, and his weapon refining skills are a little better than Zhen Yezi's. He spends most of his time in Qingyangfang City.
He has some relationship with the Qingyang Sect, and some of his weapon refining techniques were inherited from Qingyang.
The most important thing is that there is a ray of earth fire specially brought by the sect in Qingyangfang City, which is of great help to the weapon refining.
Baiyaogufang City can't compete with Qingyangfang City in terms of weapon refining, but that's normal. The main business here is elixirs.
Zhen Yezi came here because he felt that the competition in Qingyangfang City was too fierce and it would not be his turn to take advantage of the local fire.
I heard that the Ji family's golden elixir involves Master Lei, so it's hard to say too harshly, after all, so many people are watching.
He just said, "Who can guarantee the success rate of repair? The elixir master of Hundred Medicine Valley can guarantee a 100% elixir success rate?"
This is not disrespectful, it is simply stating a fact.
"Then why do I use two sets of Nascent Soul Techniques to trade repair fluid?" Jin Dan asked angrily.
"If the success rate cannot be improved, why should I spend such a high price? Now it's good, everything is gone!"
There's nothing wrong with this logic. The key is that his attack showed the frustration and annoyance that followed.
To say that it is deliberately seeking trouble does not necessarily seem to be the case.
However, Ji Jia Jin Dan still said unhurriedly, "This is biased."
"Zhen Yezi's refining furnace, the Nascent Soul Sword Box in Cuiping Mountain, the Ji family's medicine garden... those were all repaired with the repair fluid."
That's right, the Ji family now has a space medicine garden, and the news has been released.
The Space Medicine Garden was originally an ancestral treasure of the Ji family, and it was a life-supporting magic weapon, so there was no need to publicize it.
The key is that Ji Xiaohua showed up in the shop and stayed there for a long time. Others would inevitably guess what magic weapon the Ji family was repairing.
This space secret treasure must not be passed on. What a coincidence, the Ji family has taken back the ancestral miniature cave.
So after Ji Xiaohua returned to Ji's house, he took the initiative to spread the news to save others from guessing.
"Yes, you have publicized it after it was repaired," Jin Dan laughed helplessly.
"But it hasn't been repaired. Have you publicized it?"
Otherwise, there must be something hateful about this poor man, so he insisted that he had been deceived.
As he shouted, the number of people watching gradually increased.
Among the melon-eating people, there are many people who are sensible, but under this environment, there are more people who are just stupid.
Just as everyone was talking about it, the door of the shop opened and a beauty in palace clothes walked out.
