Chapter 566: Walking in the Water
was broken by her statement, Liu Yunfeng was also embarrassed: "My friend lives in the house on the right front, and I just want to come to the door to disturb two glasses of water and wine, Elder Ning wants to be together?"
His last sentence was just a polite remark, and the politeness was really very strong, who knew that Ning Xiaoxian's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he smiled: "Ah, then we can be disrespectful, this is really embarrassing, suddenly came to the door as a guest, and did not bring any gifts." ”
She was so cheeky that she wanted to go to a stranger's house as a guest! Including Yinwei and Shopkeeper Yang, everyone was stunned, Liu Yunfeng blinked, not understanding which one she was singing, but since the words had been spoken, there was no reason to take them back, so he had to lead the hidden stream to knock on the door of his friend's house.
A young man in Tsing Yi opened the door for everyone, and led everyone into the seat, and served a cup of tea, saying that the master would return immediately, please wait.
Liu Yunfeng's friends are naturally also monks. He said with a smile: "Although my friend is a casual cultivator and looks rough, he is born to be a genius in business, and he has been operating in Zhongjing for many years, and has been smooth sailing, and has set up a lot of industries, such as spices and cloth business. After a moment's notice, he asked Ning Xiaoxian, "Elder Ning, are you here here for ......?"
Ning Xiaoxian took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "I also want to visit friends, but the door of the house is closed, and it seems that the owner is not at home." I was in trouble when you appeared, but it was really my timely rain. ”
Liu Yunfeng must have come often, and the young man in Tsing Yi recognized that this was the master's friend, so he introduced them all into the small pavilion on the third floor, and looked out from the hollow sandalwood carved window lattice. It is just right to be condescending and see the street scene within 100 meters of the neighborhood.
She stretched out her hand to call the doorkeeper and asked, "What's the noise outside?"
The doorman thought for a moment: "Most of the hours ago, there was the sound of carriages and horses rolling forward, and I didn't go out to check. But after a quarter of an hour, it disappeared. ”
More than half an hour ago, wasn't that the time when the bandits sent the spiritual tea here? This can be testified, all the hidden guards looked at Ning Xiaoxian, but she was unmoved, and only rewarded a small ingot of silver to the doorman.
Do a full set of plays. The person who laid out the layout must have prevented her from following her to the Li Mansion and finding out the news from the nearby neighbors, so he simply arranged for many large cars to drive into the Li Mansion from outside. She's the opponent. I'm careful, but what's next...... Hengzhu Lingcha is no longer in this house, she wants to see what other arrangements the other party has arranged.
It's not too late. There was a long laugh downstairs, Liu Yunfeng's friend Huainanzi really went home, and a burly figure soon appeared at the staircase.
Elder Liu was right, his friend didn't seem to have the Dao Bone Immortal Wind of a monk at all. On the contrary, he looks like a ranger with a tiger's back and a bear's waist. A body of rivers and lakes.
After the master came up, the leopard's eye ring glanced at it, and he was stunned to see Ning Xiaoxian, Whistle and Gu Mo, and then smiled: "What a coincidence, you are with Lao Liu?"
Ning Xiaoxian held the tea cup and saluted him from afar: "Come to the door to drink two sips of tea, and I hope the master will not think that we are causing trouble." ”
This person is the same man who received an urn of "Qingbi" wine from her in Fang City! There are more than 10 million people in Zhongjing, and he can actually take two pictures one after another, is this kind of coincidence and probability really reasonable? Let's say a man like an iron tower. How could you take a crepe road name like Huainanzi?
She complained silently in her heart, but Huainanzi said generously: "I took you a jar of good wine." Now it's just a gift of two cups of tea, and I still take advantage of it, what do you dare to think of?" turned his head and instructed the servants at home, "You are a little child, you see so many distinguished guests coming to the door, I don't know how to make spiritual tea?"
The servant was scolded, his neck shrunk, and he was about to trot to make tea, Liu Yunfeng had already pointed at Ning Xiaoxian and said with a smile: "The spiritual tea in this world has come out of this person's hand, and you want to treat her with the things she sells?"
Huainanzi's eyes lit up and said, "You are a person from the Hidden Stream? You are the director of the Hidden Stream Immortal Plantation? I only bought 10,000 catties of spiritual tea from your Ningyuan Hall a few days ago, and I am here in Zhongjing!" laughed a few times, then turned his head to the servant and said, "Go and dig up the chef Lao Zhou, and ask him to quickly give us a table of good wine and good food!"
Liu Yunfeng scolded with a smile: "After entering the door for so long, only this sentence is human words." ”
At that moment, the small pavilion added wine to the lamp and held a banquet, and after everyone chatted for a while, Huainanzi asked: "Ning Yuantang's reputation has become more and more famous recently, but it doesn't seem to involve business in the East China Sea?"
The location specially chosen by Ning Xiaoxian happened to face the direction of Li Zhai. She was distracted and distracted: "Donghai?"
Huainanzi nodded, and his face was stern: "On the surface of the East China Sea, there are many islands, and there are also a large number of indigenous people and immortal sects who live, and they especially love the customs of Nanbu Continent, and they are proud of being able to imitate the popular clothing and food in Zhongzhou. At present, drinking spiritual tea in Zhongzhou has gradually become a trend, and probably these people from the East China Sea will soon follow suit. ”
He's talking about a huge business opportunity. Ning Xiaoxian came back to his senses slightly, and turned his head to look at him: "Ning Yuantang does not have a hall in the east, and there is no trade route yet. What's more, the East China Sea alternates between land and land, which is very inconvenient to walk, and the transportation cost is very huge. "Today, most people have very little storage space in their hands, and the distribution of bulk goods still depends on large caravans to transport them. The islands of the East China Sea are surrounded by seawater, but how do merchants walk?
Huainanzi is also a long-standing figure in the shopping mall, and when she heard the laziness of her words, she hurriedly smiled: "It is true that due to transportation problems, the East China Sea region has always been excluded from the mainstream trade routes, but the products there are also extremely rich. Speaking of this, there was a pause in his voice, and then he lowered his voice, "To be honest, I first bought special products from the East China Sea and sold them in Xingzhou, and I only started to make a fortune here." ”
She heard the meaning of his words: "Daoist friends have another way to transport them in the East China Sea?"
Huainanzi's face showed a slight color: "Barely counted." In my early years, I was friendly with a tribe in the East China Sea, who were good at alligators and could travel freely between the islands. ”
After saying this, Ning Xiaoxian was a little moved.
Although the name of the alligator bird has the word "finch" in its name, it is not a bird flying in the sky, but a strange beast living in the East China Sea, with a crocodile shape, sharp beak and sharp teeth, thick and short limbs, and likes to ambush prey in the water. Alligator finches are much thicker than crocodiles, have a flat body, and can swim long distances, unlike crocodiles. On top of that, the alligator is also an amphibious creature, which can enter the sea and go ashore, and if it can be used to transport goods, it is much more convenient than a boat.
It's just that I've never heard that this kind of ferocious creature can also be domesticated on a large scale, and it is estimated that this is the unique secret of the tribe that Huainanzi met.
She pondered for a long time before she said leisurely: "I have been hesitating about the establishment of the East Road Trade Road. This matter seems to be promising. "Ning Yuantang has only started for less than a year, and no matter how rapid it has developed, after all, the foundation is still shallow, and every time a new line is opened, it must be carefully considered. To put it mildly, the steps are too big, and it is easy to pull the eggs. This is just like the current small and medium-sized enterprises are always trembling about the investment in new projects, suffering from gains and losses, because it is impossible for it to be as rich as state-owned enterprises.
Huainanzi heard that she never showed a sense of refusal, and she was already extremely satisfied in her heart. It is impossible for businessmen like them to finalize the sale in one fell swoop, and even if they have this intention, there will still be some tug-of-war in the follow-up loans, profits, and shares.
He glanced at Ning Xiaoxian twice, and suddenly changed the topic and said, "Elder Ning, I see that you are always staring at the window flowers behind me. But there's a beautiful scenery out there, but I don't know?"
This person's five senses are also so sharp, Ning Xiaoxian was slightly startled. She was a guest at someone else's house, and in order not to be disrespectful to her master, everyone put away their thoughts. She was also very skillful in observing Li Zhai opposite, and she could ensure that her eyes fell on Huainanzi most of the time. In this case, he can still sense that he is absent-minded, and his spiritual sense can be regarded as quite keen.
She smiled and followed his words and said, "The scenery outside the window of Daoyou is really good. Without waiting for Huainanzi to answer, his eyes suddenly froze, "Hey, no, how can there be a fire in that family?"
Huainanzi turned his head to look, and his face suddenly became solemn: "It's not good, Li's house is on fire!"
The fire in Li's house exploded almost instantly, sparks came out from everywhere in the house, until the smoke billowed up, and the flames burned half of the sky, which was only a dozen breaths of effort. So when Ning Xiaoxian, Huainanzi and the others walked out, many families nearby were already alarmed, and shouts like "go to the water, go to the water" resounded for miles around.
You must know that in addition to the dignitaries and nobles living in the inner city, there are countless monks, and at this time, the Bai Yujing sales meeting is about to start again, so there are more immortal cultivators in this area. At that moment, a person flew for a long time, pinched a water dragon trick, and poured a torrential rain over Li's house.
The fire in Li's house was beaten down, but it was still burning in the rain.
I only heard a loud "boom", and one side of the Li Mansion was burned off in the fire, and the whole side collapsed.
This flame is so powerful.
"It's not a mortal fire, and fortunately it's not a samadhi fire. Ning Xiaoxian muttered, turned his head and commanded, and the fire lion hidden guard jumped out of the crowd, conjured the original body of the fire lion, stood in front of the Li Mansion, and exhaled heavily, before opening his mouth and inhaling deeply!
His breath was originally long, and this breath was like a whale sucking water, and even the air was filled with a sound like a cracked silk. The movement was so great that the people in the sky and around them stopped moving their hands and turned their heads to look.
I saw that the fire firmly entrenched in Li's house suddenly seemed to be called, and even the favorite wooden house was not gnawed, and the spirit generally came out of the wall of the courtyard, was squeezed into a bunch, and penetrated into the mouth of the fire lion guard like a spiritual snake! (To be continued......)
