Chapter 9: The Big Sale
The girl reluctantly took out a stack of silver tickets from her purse, counted them in her hand, and handed them to Lin Yu.
"Oh, seven thousand five hundred taels, the silver ticket of Mingyue Qianzhuang. ”
"Okay. Lin Yu took the silver ticket, counted it slightly, and put it in his pocket with satisfaction.
Mingyue Money Village is a well-known large-scale chain bank, and its bills are hard currency throughout the mainland, so there is no need to worry about the exchange problem.
"Hmph, no problem, right, no problem, I'll go first!" the girl snorted coldly, took the talisman and hurried away, leaving only a reverie back.
Usually in this kind of stall transaction with great liquidity, the buyer and seller will count the goods and coins on the spot, and they are not responsible for any problems afterwards.
The old man next to him looked at it with straight eyes: "Young man, you are not shallow!"
"It's just a matter of luck. Lin Yu put away his stall and moved to the next block.
Seven thousand five hundred taels!
The first transaction was successfully reached, which gave him great confidence, and the girl's move to buy the tranquilizer talisman regardless of everything also confirmed his previous judgment, the tranquilizer talisman is definitely a big market in Yin Podu!
Sure enough, not long after Lin Yu set up the new stall, another customer walked up to the stall and carefully looked at the talisman.
This is a rough man who is half covered in black armor and half exposed, he put the tranquilizer in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and finally spoke: "Boss, do you sell two hundred taels a piece?"
Lin Yu looked depressed, why did all the people he met today come to bargain? This one cut very hard, and directly cut off one-fifth.
"Sorry, it's only two hundred and fifty taels. ”
Lin Yu shook his head very dryly.
The rough man said in a deep voice: "Boss, your price is really expensive, the Fu Urn shop only sells at this price, you must know that this is the price that people count in manpower and rent, you just set up a stall, the cost does not need to be so much, and besides, the quality of your Fu Gong is not guaranteed, so I can only pay two hundred taels at most." ”
Lin Yu smiled, and smiled brightly: "Of course, I don't need any cost to open a store, but these talismans are all purchased by me from other places with hard work, if you can't make a lot of money from afar, you don't have to set up a stall here, as for the quality problem you said, if you don't worry, you don't have to buy it." ”
The rough man was suffocated, his mouth moved slightly, but he didn't know what to refute, so he had to say stupidly: "That...... Okay, two hundred and fifty taels is two hundred and fifty taels, and I want twenty. ”
"Thank you for your patronage. Lin Yu took the silver ticket, and the smile on his face became even stronger.
Sure enough, as he thought, the tranquilizer was very popular, and he didn't worry about the source of customers at all, if it weren't for the stall at the end of the street, there would have been more customers patronizing it at this time.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, but the frequency of visiting the vicinity of Lin Yu's stall also increased, and soon, the third customer and the fourth customer were sold one after another.
"I didn't expect you to sell spiritual talismans. The guy from the stall next door cleaned up the stall and said in surprise.
"Yes, this brother, do you want one too?" Lin Yu half-jokingly.
Unexpectedly, the young man nodded and said seriously: "Bring me three." ”
"Do you really want to?" Lin Yu was stunned.
"It's sloppy. The guy took out a stack of silver tickets and threw them to Lin Yu.
"No problem. Lin Yu happily took out three tranquilizing talismans and handed them to the guy.
The young man said strangely: "But brother, you shouldn't have just come to Yin Podu, you don't know the situation here, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Yu also felt that something was wrong.
Thinking about it carefully, the previous guests were all in a hurry, as if they were specifically targeting spiritual talismans, but they just symbolically cut the price, and they couldn't wait to buy the tranquil talisman.
Even the previous plain girls and black-armored men were the same, and it seemed that they had no intention of returning empty-handed.
"Truth be told, it is. Lin Yu took out another tranquilizing talisman, threw it familiarly, and said, "Big brother, tell me what's going on?"
"Brother is refreshing!" The young man took the talisman, and immediately became interested, and while cleaning up the stall, he said mysteriously: "Do you know why this place is called Yin Podu?"
Lin Yu said curiously: "It is said that it is because this place used to be a ferry?"
"Yes, it's not right. ”
The young man shook his head and said, "If it is just because it is a ferry, it can be called Li Podu, Chen Podu, Wang Podu, and the most fundamental reason for this is, of course, this 'Yin Po'." ”
"Legend has it that a long time ago it was just a simple ferry, and the Yin Po was a woman who lived by ferrying, her husband was a fisherman on the river, and the young couple also raised several children, and the family lived happily on the income from fishing and ferrying. ”
But one day, the peaceful life was shattered, and a group of rebels fled to this place, and when they saw the rather beautiful Yin Po, they were furious, and not only insulted her, but also killed her husband and children. ”
"The goddess, who was desperate and dying, scuttled the ferry on the ferry, drowned the rebels, and finally committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. The guy sighed. "There are several versions of the legend of the underworld, but they are all the same, and they all end in tragedy anyway. ”
"Ah, what a sad story. Lin Yu also nodded seriously in agreement.
"Perhaps it was because of the resentment of the Yin Po that the ghost persisted, and the ferry port was gradually corrupted by filth, and it became a famous haunted place. The guy sighed.
However, as the pollution intensified, the activities of the demonic beasts on the other side also became active, and the ferry attracted a large number of spiritual practitioners to station, which slowly evolved into the prosperous Yin Po Ferry today. ”
"While many of the rumors of hauntings seem to have been fabricated to this day, there are some taboos that have been proven to be true!"
"For example, you must not wear green clothes in the Yin Podu!"
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he had indeed never seen anyone wearing green clothes on the street.
"Hehe, I'm right. The young man saw what Lin Yu was thinking, and explained: "This is because the gang of rebels who caused the misfortune of Yin Po are covered in green armor, and it is said that once they put on green clothes, Yin Po will come to ask for their lives in a dream!"
"Isn't it?" Lin Yu said half-convinced, feudal superstition is not advisable!
But if he doesn't believe it in his heart, he won't really try, it's pure death.
"Haha, don't scare you, I'll tell you the truth, the reason why everyone wants to buy spiritual talismans during this time is because the annual Yin Po Festival is coming. Every year on the 30th day of May, it is said that it is the day when Yin Po threw herself into the water and died, from this day onwards, until the middle of June, there will be a very strong demonic beast riot in the filthy land, and the negative impact of the filth will also be dramatically magnified on this day!"
"Therefore, those adventurers who want to cross the river on this day to hunt on the other side will prepare spiritual talismans in advance to prevent being affected by negative emotions, resulting in a decrease in combat effectiveness or lack of concentration. ”
"However, even if you stay in Yin Po Du honestly, you will inevitably be affected, so you also need to prepare some talismans to use. ”
"Today is the twenty-seventh, and there are still more than two days to go until the thirtieth, and it is the time when the spiritual talisman is selling the most popular, I am afraid that I will not be able to grab it by then, so I will simply find you to buy it now, by the way, if you still want to continue to stay in Yin Podu, it is best to leave a few for yourself." ”
After the guy packed up the last package of goods, he patted Lin Yu's shoulder seriously, and left humming a little song.
