Wang Fu chatted with Haoyigong for a while, then stood up and left.
What he heard in the tavern made him even more convinced that he had made the right choice.
If you want to have a good future, you must find the right backer. Yunyangguan is obviously the thickest thigh in the surrounding area.
"Tea OK!"
Before leaving, Good Lord Yi told Wang Fu the locations of several tea shops.
There is an agreement between Gushan Mountain and Yunyang Temple that the world of ghosts is in the mountain, but outside the mountain, it is still the realm of the underworld, and ghosts are not allowed to wreak havoc.
Although Dingling Tea is very profitable, once it leaves Gushan, it has nothing to do with the ghosts in the mountain.
It can be said that Yunyang Temple has a dominant position in monopolizing the market of Dianling tea in the outside world. Practitioners in other places can only drink high-priced tea.
Only in the ghost market can practitioners have access to low-priced dimming tea, which is also one of the attractions of the ghost market.
"I heard that there are also many disciples in Yunyang Temple who secretly come to the ghost market to buy some spiritual tea."
When Good Lord Yi told Wang Fu this secret, he was not surprised at all.
In Yunyang Temple, people share different amounts of tea according to the quota system. Some people always feel that it is not enough, so they come to the ghost market to buy it.
only……
In the ghost market, as long as you have money, you can buy any amount of tea, but you cannot take it out of the ghost market. This is really overbearing.
However, the tea trade in Gushan is monopolized by a few big yakshas.
Yaksha, a good fighter among ghosts, started at the level of evil ghosts and was an elite soldier under the command of the mountain god.
As for the great yakshas, they all have the level of fierce ghosts. They are the best ones selected from one hundred thousand yakshas, and they are equivalent to the generals in the army.
The big yaksha in Gushan occupies the top of the mountain and controls the wind and rain. It is equivalent to the separatist warlord under the princes, and its power is incomparable.
Behind the Gushan Ghost Market are the masterminds behind these big yakshas.
In the ghost market, unless you are powerful enough to reach the realm of a heavenly master, you have to follow the rules.
On the other hand, as long as you abide by the rules, no ghost can attack you in the ghost market, otherwise you will be severely punished.
The cruel methods used by ghosts to deal with their own people are unimaginable to living people.
"Let's go buy some tea!"
…
Wang Fu bought local snacks on the roadside and ate them while walking.
Gushan is rich in products, and the ghosts rely on the mountains to feed on the mountains. The resources available to them are extremely rich and can meet the needs of human practitioners, which is why the ghost market has formed today.
However, the social organizational structures of the two sides are different, and the products they produce are also different.
Human beings are well-organized and have strong processing capabilities. Most of the goods exchanged are semi-finished products and finished products, and a small amount of resources are exclusive to ghosts.
Ghosts provide scarce resources in exchange for goods produced by humans.
"Isn't this the difference between industrial scissors?"
Wang Fu took a look around and suddenly realized that the ghosts had been silently suffering the exploitation caused by unequal productivity.
I even thought of the thick smoke and sewage from the Alchemy Factory day and night. It was true that the industrial society was advancing rapidly and the small-scale peasant economy was eating jujube pills.
“Well, it’s so delicious!”
Wang Fu thought as he took a bite of the sour fruit branch on his hand. This is a special snack of Gushan.
The green-skinned and juicy branches look inconspicuous like a dog's paw. Tear off the outer skin and you'll find transparent jelly-like pulp inside. When you bite into it, the juice will splash out. It's sour, sweet and delicious, and the price is not expensive.
The little ghost guarding the stall is a common "soot ghost" among the people. He is as tall as a child, his body is black, he shrinks when seeing strangers, and his voice is shrill.
On weekdays, soot ghosts will take advantage of the darkness to visit people's homes, steal grain, chickens, ducks and other food, and then leave behind copper coins, gold and silver and other property.
This kind of ghost is a weak and weak creature, timid, and knows how to exchange for equal value. It is the most harmless species, and practitioners will not do anything even if they see it.
The biggest feature is that wherever it passes, it is easy to leave soot left by burning coal, forming crooked traces that lead deep into the mountains.
Wang Fu had only heard about it in the past, but now he saw it in the ghost market, and it was a small vendor selling local specialties. He finally understood where the money used to buy food came from.
The sour fruit branches were delicious, and Wang Fu was in a good mood. He rewarded him with a small bunch of copper coins. The Sooty Ghost smiled brightly and bowed to him repeatedly.
Wang Fu ate while walking, his hands empty, like a street wanderer with nothing to do.
"There are five tea shops in total, with varying amounts of traffic. There are similar tea stalls at the entrance, and the people guarding the stalls are also ghosts."
Wang Fu silently analyzed in his mind. He visited five tea shops one by one and made a preliminary confirmation. As expected, as Hehao Yigong said, the business of dianling tea was monopolized by ghosts in the mountains.
The tea stalls outside the tea shops all sell loose tea. This small business can be regarded as the leftovers leaking out from the teeth of the great yaksha.
"Okay, let's start from this Cilu Tea Shop!"
Cilu Tea Shop has the largest business, constant flow of customers, and the most tea stalls at the entrance.
The five tea shops all use the name of the big boss as their signboards, so the big yaksha behind this tea shop is Cilu yaksha.
Merciful Killing is indeed the unique name of the Yaksha Ghost.
"Guest, come and see!"
Wang Fu walked to the street where Cilu Tea Shop was located again and appeared at the intersection. The tea stalls on both sides greeted him warmly.
"Um?"
Wang Fu said that he had made a mistake, and he did not expect that among these ghosts, there was actually a living person guarding their respective tea stalls, holding the dried tea.
"Come here, fellow Taoist, we humans don't lie to humans!"
The practitioner closest to him waved to Wang Fu with a warm attitude.
Wang Fu hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, and soon arrived in front of the tea stall.
"Just take a look, I have channels in Gushan, and the quality of the tea is very good, just take a look."
This practitioner had sunken eye sockets and a pair of big dark circles. It seemed that he had not slept well at night, but his attitude was very enthusiastic and he kept introducing tea to Wang Fu.
"The oldest tea tree in Gushan is on the territory of Master Cilu."
"The tea in our area comes from Master Cilu's territory and is of excellent quality."
Wang Fu listened with his ears and looked at the tea leaves with an expressionless face. There were ceramic tea pots and a complete tea set for making tea on the stall. There was a small red clay stove burning next to it, and the aroma of the brewed tea overflowed.
"Look at the quality of my tea soup!"
The tea soup is golden in color and has a strong aroma of tea.
Wang Fu estimated that the tea he drank at Professor Lu's place was not as good as here.
“Look at the tea leaves again!”
The stall owner opened the tea can again and poured out the tea slightly, allowing Wang Fu to see that the surface layer of tea leaves was made from whole leaves that had been sun-roasted. The leaves were thick and plump, and the tea had a rich aroma.
Wang Fu's heart moved, and he was about to decide to buy when he suddenly turned around and saw ghosts in other stalls looking at him with gloomy expressions.
wrong!
"Fellow Taoist, the quality of the Dianling tea in the mountains is very high."
"Let me tell you some taboo secrets. In order to hoard them, the ghosts in the mountains deliberately leave the best tea leaves on the branches without picking them, and instead sell the middle-grade and lower-grade tea leaves."
"Even the Taoist priests of Yunyangguan can't drink good tea."
He pointed to his tea can, "The tea here is of high quality and low price. If you buy it, you will make money."
