Early in the morning, the White City.

Baicheng is a county-level city, there are many small morning markets, and there is only one big morning market, which is in the West Ring Road. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, at the earliest at five o'clock and at the latest at eight o'clock, within these three hours, the streets hundreds of meters long are basically flooded.

Small traders from the outskirts of the city gather here, and it seems that it is not surprising that any goods appear here. Of course, this was before, and since the middle of last year, this morning market has been getting more and more depressed.

Phoenix Mountain can deal with aggressive creatures, but it can't do anything about the decay of nature: vegetable fields are full of strange grasses, fish in fish ponds are killing each other, orchards are plagued by insects, pork, chickens and ducks, tofu vermicelli, green onions, ginger and garlic, etc., and even rice and soybean oil are becoming scarcer.

The whole country has entered a state of gradual shortage of resources, like a nailed hourglass, the sand brush inside is falling, you look at it, anxious, but there is nothing to do.

"Whew......"

Liu Ziming snorted, wore a very old kind of stuffy hand, and wandered around the side streets.

Thanks to the help of a certain ancestor who turned the world upside down, the construction period was successfully shortened by 20 days, and they also succeeded in saving 20 days of salary. All plans have been disrupted, and the follow-up materials have not yet arrived, and this side is flying on a rocket!

Lao Shui had to coordinate urgently and could not start work in an all-round way, so the workers also took turns to have a half-day holiday. It was impossible to go home for half a day, so Liu Ziming thought about buying something and asked Lao Shui's freight company to bring it over.

And he walked for a short while, wrapped in the deserted and bleak streets, and suddenly saw a roadside store open, which was a grain and oil store. He rubbed in and asked, "Is there any rice?"

"Rice, do you think I look like rice?"

The shopkeeper was a bald man who spoke roughly.

"Is there white noodles? ”

"It's all there, see for yourself!" the shopkeeper gestured casually.

Liu Ziming wiped his nose and took a look, the store was pitifully tight, there was no rice, no flour, no soybean oil, and there was still some sorghum rice spread in a thin layer in the wooden bucket, and some soybeans, red beans and the like.

The shelves are even colder, even the noodles are gone, and there are some peppercorns. Surprisingly, though, there were a lot of potatoes and a few bags of weird noodles.

"It's all gone, so what are you eating?" Liu Ziming wondered.

"You're out of town, aren't you?"

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said, "Let me tell you, we have to get a certificate to buy goods now, and each one has a ration, and we are not allowed to raise the price, at most 30%!

"Hehe, yes yes......"

Liu Ziming smiled and asked again: "Then when will you buy the goods next time?"

"Early next month, you want to order?"

"Yes, how do you sell rice and white flour?"

"Don't think about white noodles, there is no rice at all, rice, the cheapest bulk rice, three pieces and two pounds. If it's better, ten catties will be packed and seventy yuan a bag. ”

It's really not too expensive!

In the past, the most common bulk rice was about two pieces more than a catty. Liu Ziming estimated it and asked, "Then how much can I buy?"

"Yo, smart!"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, and said, "You also have to get your certificates, and old men like you can have a maximum of eighteen catties per person per month." ”

"Then I'll order eighteen pounds first. ”

Liu Ziming nodded, looked at the potatoes and the bags of flour again, and asked, "How do you sell potatoes?"

"For a dollar and a pound, those are potato flour, the taste is almost good, but it can be eaten. ”

"Oh, give me some. ”

So, Liu Ziming bought another bag of potatoes and a bag of flour, which were very cheap.

There is no way, even if Yuan Shennong is open, but it will take a long time from cultivating a new type of hybrid rice to promoting it to the market. What about the transitional period? It is necessary to implement government regulations similar to those of the wartime economy, to ensure the basic food and clothing needs of each person, and all activities are focused on the cultivation and development of food.

The people of Xia have eaten rice and white flour for thousands of years, and this thing is particularly difficult to change. Therefore, rice is expensive and potatoes are cheap, just to stimulate the masses to change their eating habits.

When Yuan Shennong's hybrid rice is completed, and when the layout of the country's agricultural base is completed, the resources will recover little by little.

Liu Ziming came out with the loot on his shoulders, walked for a while, and passed a meat stall. He remembered that his daughter-in-law hadn't tasted meat for a few days, so he leaned over and asked, "Do you have pork?"

"Yes, but I guess you can't afford it. ”

The stall owner scraped the knife sharpener with a lot of money, and without raising his head, he began to cut a piece of fat and thin, black and red in color, and in the shape of a long strip of strange meat.

Liu Ziming had experience before, so he simply asked directly: "What are you cheap?"

"This one!"

The stall owner shook off the meat strips, which weighed about three catties, and said, "This is rat meat, ten yuan a catty." Eh, it's not that kind of mouse, it's some kind of yellow mouse's meat. I've eaten it, and it's quite tender.

The meat factory said that it will be all this kind of meat in the future, and there is a kind of big rabbit meat. Don't think about pigs, cows and sheep, that's not something we can afford. ”

“……”

Liu Ziming stared at the thing, tangled for a while, and finally said, "Cut two catties." ”

"Okay, how refreshing are you! There's an old lady in front of her, and she has to buy donkey meat for half an hour, so where can I go to turn it into donkey meat for her?"

The stall owner skillfully cut it and said, "I won't tell you, if I really have a piece of donkey meat, I will never sell it, so I will keep it at the bottom of the box." After waiting for 180 years, the children of the future may not know what a donkey is, and I am a family heirloom...... Get it for you!"

Liu Ziming pursed his lips, didn't say a word, seemed to be touched, took the thing and turned to leave.

His mood suddenly became a little depressed with the stall owner's words, but with his own cultural level, he couldn't describe it.

With his head down, he walked from the street to the end of the street and bought a large bag of mushrooms, which were said to be cabbage mutations, and the whole body was forgive.

The east and west are very heavy, and the morning market is not close to the construction site, so Liu Ziming is reluctant to take the car, so he carries it on his shoulder.

Now the money is too mao, the price is too expensive, it used to rise year by year, but now it is rising day by day, the people don't understand, but they feel the most intuitive.

He had never seen these foods in Shengtian, they should have been on the market in the last month, and his daughter-in-law was absolutely reluctant to buy them, so he sent them back, made money himself, and then went home......

Hey!

Liu Ziming smirked unconsciously, the cold wind blew, but his head was full of beads of sweat, rolling on his forehead and sideburns, and quickly volatilized clean, leaving a layer of cold flesh and skin, which penetrated into his heart.

As he walked, he felt that things were getting heavier and heavier, and his legs and feet were getting more and more floating, and when he was about to reach the bus stop, he finally stumbled a few steps forward and fell there.

"Ahh

A little girl screamed in fright, and the bystanders immediately gathered around him and dragged him to the platform first, so as not to block the traffic.

"What's going on?

"I don't dare touch it!"

"Who will do first aid, isn't there any cardiopulmonary resuscitation?"

For a while, everyone was gossiping, and one person had sharp eyes and shouted coldly: "Eh, the road is long, someone fainted!"

Everyone looked at it, and it was a young Taoist passing across the road. He heard the shout, as if his feet were not touching the ground, and he floated over.

Take a closer look, ho, a good skin!

Everyone got out of the way, and the bus didn't get on when it came, just waiting to see the excitement. I saw the Taoist squatting down, lightly checking the pulse, and said, "I need a bowl of water." ”

"Uh, is that okay?"

The little girl hurriedly turned out a thermos flask, pulled off the lid, and barely a small cup.

"Oh, yes. ”

The Taoist took it with a smile, poured a little water, and then took out a talisman and shook it casually. Poof, the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire, and then pressed it into the cup.

Laugh at!

In an instant, white smoke rose straight up, but there was no black ash in the water, it was still clear and bright.

When the talisman burned out, he fed the water to Liu Ziming, and in just a few seconds, the other party woke up leisurely, and thanked him again and again after understanding what had happened.

"You are weak and depressed, and you are suffering from the wind and cold, and your qi is sluggish for a while, so it is good to rest for a few days. ”

"Thank you, thank you!"

Liu Ziming's emotions were very excited, almost kneeling and kowtowing, what he was afraid of was not that he would fall, but that as soon as he fell, the family would be scattered.

The man didn't stay long, and walked away. There were a few people who were active and wanted to follow secretly, but after a few turns, they lost their target.

…………

Phoenix Mountain, North Foot Manor.

Due to the disclosure of information, there is no need to worry, that Zhang Qianqiu has been driven out of the mountain gate and returned to Shengtian. At the beginning, he broke into the mountain with Li Dong and Yan Han, and he was the one who was most like the protagonist's life, but the result was the opposite.

Now, the manor is mainly managed by Lao Shui's younger brother. Every day, the crowd is busy, and it can't be received at all. They all asked to see the mountain master, most of them ignored Xiao Zhai, and of course there were some people who did not give up and simply lived in Baicheng.

"Bang bang!"

And at this moment, someone knocked on the knocker, it was the young Taoist.

"Who's out there?"

"Chao Kongtu is coming!"

"Squeak!"

The door soon opened, and a person beckoned: "It turned out to be the chief of Chao Dao, please come in!"

This is half a friend, and the people below dare not slack off at all, please go into the inner hall to serve tea, and hurriedly go to the mountain.

Chao Kongtu sat in the living room for a while, and then heard a voice with a headache: "Yo yo yo, why are you here?"

MMP！

Chao Kongtu kept smiling, walked directly past Xiao Jin, and saluted Xiao Zhai behind her, "Jiang Jushi." ”

"It's a rare guest, sit!"

Xiao Zhai sat down first, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that you have built a fang city at the foot of the mountain, so that monks can trade freely with ordinary people, and the Taoist Academy is deeply admired, and I also want to ask for convenience. ”

"You're going to open a store?" Xiao Zhai instantly grasped the point.

"Exactly. ”

"Tianzhu Mountain is also a node, and it is densely populated, which seems to be more suitable than ours. ”

"After all, Tianzhu Mountain has a government base, and there are spirit stone veins, so it is inconvenient to be too public. It's okay for us to make a small market, not as good as here, as soon as we make a move, it is Dafang City. ”

He said that Dafang City, which is really not an exaggeration, has a circumference of 16 kilometers, and you can think about this concept. Although it is a combination of residential area and commercial area, it is really not small.

Xiao Zhai was even more simply, opened a planning brochure, and said: "It's okay to open a store, these are all unbooked, you can take a look first." ”

At a glance at the empty map, half of the chessboard-like architectural layout has been marked, which means that there is a master. He didn't pick first, but said, "I take the liberty of asking, who are the people who are booked?"

From Liaodong to the capital, from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River, there are families that can be counted. You're in good hands, this is the last spot, and I'm going to keep the rest for the time being. ”

"I don't know who to leave it with?"

"Half of the people of the Hao family. ”

"Half of each...... With all due respect, with the current number of monks, I am afraid that the opening of this market will promote the rules of the game between them for a long time. ”

"The game is okay, the rules are forgotten, no one can say the rules here. Besides, someone has to do it, and it's just a matter of doing it early and late. ”

"Admire! Admire!"

Chao Kongtu arched his hand, pointed to an area in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "I picked it, this is it." ”

Oh?

Xiao Zhai looked at it, it is a three-story single-family building, the area is quite large, this to be built, it must be a landmark building.

She was also very happy and said, "Okay, let's settle the score." If someone else rents, it will be 4 million a year, and if they buy, it will be 200 million. But you guys, only sell and don't rent, a fixed price, 100,000 spirit stones. ”

Ouch!

Chao Kongtu peel draws, this price is just hit on seven inches, one more point is not more, less is not a lot.

With the discovery of the veins in the Tianshan Mountains, the government's control over the spirit stones has been slightly relaxed, and they believe that over time, the veins will appear one after another, which is also a natural law.

And 100,000 is the bottom line of prior negotiation.

"If we buy it, it won't have a useful life, right?"

"Then I should ask you, why do you ask me?" Xiao Zhai smiled.

The Taoist Academy doesn't do production, doesn't trade, and seems to have no money, but behind it is the most powerful organization in Xia Kingdom, and it will be easy to make money in the later stage!

"Don't be vulgar, we are going to close Qianshan, and we will have no income in the future, so we have to make some money for milk powder. Now paper money is still useful, so it is this price, and in the future, when the spirit stone is popularized, it will not be this price. ”

Xiao Zhai finished talking about the conditions, and did not get up to see off the guests, but instead added a cup of tea, which meant a formal negotiation, "Okay, the foreplay is over, tell me the purpose of your visit this time." ”

"Oh, I can't hide it from you. ”

Chao Kongtu tilted his head, trying to ignore the gaze of someone who was only too embarrassed because of his sister's presence, and said, "Second thing, I heard that we are collecting all kinds of Dao techniques, and we just have a little accumulation, so why don't you exchange them?"

"Swap?"

Xiao Zhai paused, waved his hand to lay down a layer of prohibition, separated Xiao Jin outside, and said, "What do you want to exchange?"

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang!

Chao Kongtu twitched the corner of his eyes, watching the goods punching and kicking outside, lightning and thunder, but the sound couldn't come in.

"Since it is an exchange, openness and honesty are the most important, and the sincerity of the Taoist Academy is full, so I will say one thing first. Last year, we found an underground palace that was left by the White Crane Dao people during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. After excavation, the Taoist Institute found a lot of Taoism, such as Dun, Dan, talismans, instruments, spells, etc., with a wide range of categories. Except for a few, it's all here......"

As he spoke, he swept the sleeves of his robe, and a thick booklet appeared on the table.

“……”

Xiao Zhai was silent, his eyes turned on the other party's face, and he knew it.

The Taoist Academy is the same as Phoenix Mountain, no longer cherishing itself, and pursuing openness and integration. Because the ancient monks were all all-rounders, they knew a little bit in almost all aspects, and now the inheritance is broken, resulting in an extremely single and fragmented learning.

If you want to recreate the prosperous era of ancient cultivation and reconstruct the cultivation system, what you need is to communicate with each other and confirm each other.

Everyone has passed the cautious stage in the early stage, the position should be set, and the relationship should be clear, it depends on who has a long-term vision and can go longer.

Second, Lao Gu was promoted to immortal, and the Taoist Academy took the initiative to show goodwill.

So she also took out a few jade slips and said, "Our things are all here, you are not innate, and you can't check the ......."

"It's okay, I'll just wait. Chao Kongtu didn't care.

Xiao Zhai waved his hand, let his sister in, and said, "I have something to deal with, you accompany Daoist Chao first." ”

Burst!

Chao Kongtu shook his tea, did you do it on purpose or on purpose or on purpose?

Not to mention how the two tore apart, Xiao Zhai picked up the album and began to look through it.

Beast Servant Technique: Establish a master-servant relationship with spirit beasts through secret methods, communicate with each other, and can cultivate, ride, and command spirit beasts. The White Crane Taoist takes a giant crane and travels the world, and this method is like this.

Swordsmanship: Created by the White Crane Dao people at will, it is not a swordsmanship. There is no sword energy, it can be used the day after tomorrow, and ordinary sword weapons can also be used. This technique only has one move, a sword flies out, turning into an afterimage to kill the enemy, and the power is considerable.

This is exactly the trick used by Zhang Shouyang to cut off one of Zhang Ziliang's arms during the Dragon and Tiger Mountain fight. Here are the spells:

"Xuanjian is out of use, and Tianding Wei follows. Heaven fights gods, and five fights cheer. Xiaofa sacrifices flying swords, killing the wicked and killing no life, and the divine soldiers are as urgent as the law!"

Land Vacancy Technique: Xuanmen Escape Method, different realms, different effects.

The day after tomorrow, when you jump, you will be a few feet off the ground, or a little dust under your feet, and cross a hundred meters. The congenital foot stepping on a foot of the breeze, can be short-lived to glide in the air, as fast as a bird, turning at will, and going for miles.

"Huh?"

Xiao Zhai blinked, he was a little interested in the beast technique, but he was not interested in the sword technique at all, and it was okay to take off the land.

Because Lao Gu has already studied his own escape method, whether it is the Void Qi Control Technique or the incarnation of sword light, it seems to be stronger than this. But he is a human immortal, with a unique system, and others are still innate.

Phoenix Mountain lacks a method of escape, only a cloth void technique, that is, the feet are a few inches off the ground, the speed is extremely fast, suitable for long-distance running. Kebu Void Technique can't grow, and it's a lot worse than flashing around.

She made a note of it and continued to look through it.

Ruyi Light Smoke Gourd: Refined with a gourd of five or six inches in size, a puff of green smoke will be sprinkled with a wave of his hand to cover the whole body, and the evil curse and poisonous Gu cannot be approached, and the sword and water and fire cannot be injured.

This is a magic weapon, which belongs to chicken ribs, but there is no one. Xiao Zhai looked down again, and his gaze suddenly certain.

Xiaoyun (anti-harmony) rain technique: It can help yin and yang to harmonize, the bed is happy, prolonged and lasting, and fluttering to the realm of bliss...... Ahh

Small cloud and rain technique: controllable water lifts into the air, and a small area is poured into rain, which seems to be created by the Baihe Dao people, and is specially used for watering the medicine garden.

She didn't have to look at anything else, just this one, enough weight.

(Amway's program "Performer's Words" is much stronger than the birth of the drama spirit)
