Chapter 8 Marketplace Business
Deacon Li shook his belly and left. It could be seen that he was very satisfied.
But for Wang Yan, it was really uncomfortable to have no money left.
After immersing himself in finishing the things he should be busy with today, he took advantage of the fact that it was still dark, so he took a few hidden rare chicken eggs and planned to go to Xiyuanfang City to exchange for some food.
Fortunately, in the next few days, the rare chickens were very up to date and laid a lot of eggs. Not only did they meet the sect's target, but they also exceeded it.
Otherwise, he would really starve.
"What? A rare chicken egg is only worth 5 taels of silver?"
Wang Yan couldn't help but raise his voice in front of Chenji Grains Store.
Five taels of silver, in the mortal world, can buy hundreds or thousands of eggs, which is not a small amount, but it depends on the comparison.
In the market, the price of a rare egg is more than ten taels.
Here, ordinary rice is extremely expensive, costing one or two taels of silver per pound, whereas in the mortal world, a few copper coins are enough.
There is no way. In the Xian Family sect, because there are many mortal rich and nobles who bring money into the sect, there is too little money flowing out and the inflation of money is too serious. Spiritual stones are the real hard currency.
But spiritual stones are not something mortals like them can use.
"That's the price, you can weigh it yourself."
Shopkeeper Chen from the grocery store sat lazily on a recliner, looking like he didn't want to sell.
His place is called miscellaneous grains, and it doesn't just sell grains, but also involves food, which is basically all available.
Chicken, duck and fish, such as rare chicken, precious pig, colored duck, etc.
It's a bit like the community market at the door of the community in my previous life.
Of course, the types are naturally incomparable.
Wang Hao gritted his teeth and finally decided to trade the four precious eggs in his hand for ten kilograms of rice.
There is no way, this Chenji Grain Store is already fairly fair in the city.
Other grocery stores are under even greater pressure.
But at this moment, a middle-aged man wearing the sect's standard robe walked to the grocery store with a vigilant expression and holding a covered black basket.
Wang Yan couldn't help but twitch his nose.
I smelled a very familiar smell.
Seeing the man giving him a wary look, Wang Hao walked away knowingly.
However, he paid more attention, and not far away, he pricked up his ears.
Some conversations were faintly heard.
"...Spiritual chickens...twenty..."
"...No...this number is the most..."
"Spiritual chickens?!"
Wang Yan was shocked!
That middle-aged man is selling soul chickens!
Recalling the very familiar scent he smelled on the middle-aged man just now, he was extremely sure!
Because that is the most obvious smell of chicken manure in the chicken coop!
"Spirit chickens can actually be sold?!"
Wang Yan was quite shocked.
He always thought that since the sect valued it so much, it was naturally non-tradable.
But this transaction suddenly opened up Wang Yan's thinking.
An idea instantly came to mind.
He hid in the dark and observed for a while, and found that the middle-aged man quickly left with the bulging package.
Judging from the volume, most of it is settled in spirit stones.
Without daring to delay, he hurried back to the villa and put on Mr. Sun's tattered Taoist robe that was covered with patches.
He was reluctant to throw it away before, thinking that it could be used as bedding material for the hens' coops.
Now it just comes in handy.
Mr. Sun's body shape is similar to that of Wang Yan. He put on Mr. Sun's clothes and specially wiped his face. Unless he was a very familiar person, he would definitely not be recognized.
"Cough...cough..." He
tried to adjust his voice. After making sure that no one would recognize him at once, he returned to Xiyuanfang City again. Instead of going to Chenji Grain Store, he looked around and went Went to another shop.
He didn't say anything when he came in, he just looked around.
Shopkeeper Lu in the store didn't chase him away.
They are all from the same sect, maybe they are related to each other, or there may even be someone behind them, so there is no need to make enemies.
But the old god was sitting behind the counter and said as usual:
"Guests, feel free to take a look."
Seeing that there were no other customers in the shop, and no busboys were around.
Wang Hao then walked up to the shopkeeper and whispered:
"Shopkeeper Lu, I have something good, will you accept it?"
"Good thing?"
Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but look up and take a closer look at this slovenly looking fellow.
His mind quickly matched the image of the other party with the person in his memory, but after finding nothing, he slowly said:
"Guest, everyone in Xiyuanfang City knows that if even our 'Lu Family Liang Ji' If you don’t accept it, there won’t be any shops in the city that can accept it, so just say it.”
His tone was calm, but full of confidence.
But Wang Yan was not surprised.
He has been in the sect for more than two months, so he naturally knows some common sense.
This 'Lu Family Food Record' was built by the family of the eldest disciple of the sect's outer sect.
Among several surrounding mortal cities, it can be considered top-notch.
Not only does it have a good reputation, but it also has the support of an outer sect disciple, which makes people feel reassured.
Of course, the acquisition price is also very high.
If he were selling eggs, he would never come here because it was not cost-effective.
But...
"I have a spiritual chicken here."
Wang Yan whispered.
When he heard Wang Hao's words, shopkeeper Lu, who had not cared much about it at first, suddenly turned his face and asked quickly:
"What grade? Male or female?"
Wang Hao was confused at this time!
Male or female, that's easy to say.
But what is grade? Are there different grades of spiritual chicken?
Seeing Wang Yan's confused look, shopkeeper Lu also reacted:
"It seems you don't know the grade of this spiritual chicken." "To
put it simply, this spiritual chicken and the spiritual beast are the same thing, so naturally they are divided into different grades. "
The first level is equivalent to the Qi refining realm of a monk. It is generally divided into four levels: lower, middle, upper and extreme." "
If you trust my 'Lu Family Liang Ji', you might as well give this spiritual chicken Bring it here and I'll give you a palm."
After hearing this, Wang Hao hesitated immediately.
Bringing the spiritual chicken to the opponent's palm is not putting the initiative in other people's hands.
Shopkeeper Lu was sophisticated enough to see Wang Yan's concerns, so he didn't worry about it and said with a smile:
"Forget it, if you don't believe me, you can go to the Talisman Shop and buy a 'Low Level Spiritual Light Talisman'. It's not expensive, twenty taels for one." Zhang, can judge the grade of the first-order spirit beast."
Seeing the certainty of Fang's words, Wang Yan was convinced.
However, he did not leave in a hurry, but asked:
"I don't know what the prices are?"
Shopkeeper Lu avoided answering and asked: "Is the origin correct?"
"Absolutely no problem!"
Wang Hao said firmly.
Shopkeeper Lu stroked his beard and said:
"If there is no problem with the origin, then a first-grade low-grade spiritual chicken is worth six low-grade spiritual stones!" "
If it is middle grade, it can be worth fourteen yuan." "
If it is high grade, it can be worth fourteen yuan." It's worth thirty yuan."
"If it's top quality, you can't even buy it for a hundred yuan!"
"If it's a rooster, cut it off by at least half!"
This price is completely different from what Wang Yan thought.
It is equivalent to the seventeen or eight spiritual stones that Mr. Sun said, but it is also far away.
"Why are roosters so cheap?"
Wang Yan couldn't help but ask.
Shopkeeper Lu was also very straightforward:
"The rooster contains less spiritual energy than the hen, and it is not good at back-stepping and mating, so it is of no use. The hen can also lay eggs, and the eggs of the spiritual rooster are also quite useful for monks in the Qi Refining Realm." It’s beneficial.”
Wang Hao suddenly realized.
He immediately held up his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper, for clarifying my doubts. I don't have the spirit chicken with me at the moment. I'll bring it to you later." "
It doesn't matter."
Shopkeeper Lu knew that Wang Hao still had doubts in his heart, so he didn't rush him, but said seriously:
"Guest, please feel free to Don't worry, our purchase price is definitely the highest here. If you want to sell, please come to us."
Wang Hao nodded and left.
I went to several other grocery stores to inquire about prices, and the only talisman store.
After walking around and making sure that no one was following him, he left Fangshi.
We walked for a while in the opposite direction of the villa.
Still finding no one following him, Wang Hao slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems like I'm overthinking it, but no matter what, it's better to be more cautious."
After thinking about it, he already made arrangements for the four spiritual chickens in the villa.
