Volume 2 Walking the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 79 Tea Market

Han Ningzi asked the guys in the tavern if anything was going to happen in Longquan Town in the near future.

The guy smiled, "Guest officer, you don't even know this, this matter has spread all over the rivers and lakes, and almost all the celebrities who have come to Longquan Town recently have come for it." ”

"What the hell is going on, don't sell it. Yuan Mingyu said eagerly.

She likes a more direct solution to everything, and if this matter has nothing to do with her, she is not ready to meddle, because Yuan Songzhu's order cannot be disobeyed, and when she came to Longquan Town today, she was already making her own opinion, and she didn't have much time to give Yuan Mingyu.

"Where are you two from?" the guy asked curiously.

"Border. Han Ningzi replied.

"Oh, it's no wonder, I heard that there has been a war on the border for several years, and it's natural for the two of you not to know about it, so I'll tell you two, a few months ago, on Longquan Mountain, a thousand-year-old camellia plant grew, this thing is a good thing, if a mortal drinks the camellia, he can generate spiritual power, if an immortal drinks a camellia, You can speed up your cultivation, and now it's time for the camellia auction, and many people in the rivers and lakes are here for this, and I see that the two of them are also cultivators, and they must also want to use the camellia to speed up their cultivation, but since the two of them don't know about it, then I think wrong, I think wrong. The guy said.

Oh?

"There is such a thing as a millennium camellia, this is a bit interesting, where is the auction site, I must go to see it. Yuan Mingyu said with a smile.

If the millennium camellia really has the effect that the guy said, it is really a very tempting thing.

Cultivation is a painstaking thing and there will be a long process.

There are many people whose spiritual foundation is not high, and the progress of the acquired cultivation is even slower, and it is normal for cultivators to not be able to advance to the first order for a hundred and ten years after entering the bottleneck period.

And all the things that speed up the practice are the attention of the practitioners.

The guy smiled faintly, "The two of you are also interested in that thing, but there is only one camellia plant, and if you don't have money, you can only wait and see." When the guy said this, he still looked down on Yuan Mingyu.

The problems that can be solved with money in the rivers and lakes are not a problem, and the same is true for wanting to get a thousand-year-old camellia.

The person who came to Longquan Town today, isn't that a rich man?

The innkeeper has seen too many rich people these days.

To tell the truth, compared with those big families in the empire, Han Ningzi's money is really not enough to stuff his teeth.

Yuan Mingyu glanced at the guy and said disdainfully: "Even if the camellia can improve cultivation, but after all, it is also an object, and the matter of cultivation is ultimately dependent on oneself, I have never heard of anyone who relies on something to achieve high achievement, that thing is a little useful for waste, spending money to recover the gap, we don't necessarily need it." ”

Han Ningzi nodded, what Yuan Mingyu said made sense, at the beginning, the three immortal venerables of Yuan Songzhu, Ethereal, Yifeng, and Qi Baishan, they did not rely on eating any thousand-year-old camellia and 10,000-year-old Lingzhi to reach today's status.

It can be said that the factor of external forces does not have a great impact on cultivation, of course, if you have money, you can buy these things and accelerate your cultivation, which is also a good thing, on Qibai Mountain, at the beginning, the disciples didn't have to rely on the spirit stone to help.

Hearing Yuan Mingyu say this, the guy rolled his eyes and said: "The girl seems to be very disdainful of this thousand-year-old camellia, she really doesn't know how powerful this thing is, if she waits for the girl to see it, she will feel its benefits." In the afternoon, Longquan Town will hold an auction in the square, and the two of them can rush to the venue to find out, but if the two are interested, they must prepare 100,000 gold. Han Han Ningzi and Yuan Mingyu ate something, and later, they went to the market that sold tea as the guy said to buy some tea.

Yuan Mingyu calculated carefully, there are many elders in the mountains, and they can't be lazy, so this time it's time to make a big purchase, I'm afraid that the gold rewarded by the empire can't be kept at all, but she won't spare the money.

The market for selling tea is huge, which is not the same as Yuan Mingyu imagined.

On the most prosperous street in Longquan Town, the entire street is flanked by tea shops, and at the end of the street, there is a huge building, which may cover an area of several thousand acres. The big signboard reads the word 'tea market', and there is an endless stream of people buying tea at the door, and some vendors even set up stalls outside the 'tea market'. This kind of small stall is still patronized.

In Longquan Town, except for the tea business, everything seems to be not so prosperous.

Walking into this tea market, Yuan Mingyu immediately felt what a 'sea of people' was.

Yuan Mingyu checked the price of tea and couldn't help but be startled.

The most inferior tea in the tea market, can also be compared with the best tea in the outside market, the price is naturally expensive, up to a hundred gold a catty, this is a sky-high price, you must know that this is a gold as the basic price, and the opening is a hundred gold, how many middle class, a year's income is only a hundred gold, and this kind of people struggle for a year, in order to buy a pound of Longquan tea, it is estimated that no one will be so stupid, this year on this pound of tea to live, so the people who come here today are rich.

The protection of the 'tea market' is also quite good, just outside the door, Yuan Mingyu can see more than ten cultivation guards.

They are hired by the market owners to maintain order in the tea market, and as long as they are not fools, they will not make trouble in such places, and the merchants who can run the tea business in this place are not good people, and they have a way to deal with the troublemakers.

Yuan Mingyu and Han Ningzi wandered around the tea market, and after shopping around, they found that the tea here was almost uniformly priced, without any price difference, a tea market in Nuoda, with many counters, but it was almost occupied by the three jointly, at least this is the three that occupy at least 90% of the share.

They are the three major merchants of the Great Xia Empire.

'Mingsheng Group', 'Oriental Giant Business' and 'Yide Management'

These three Yuan Mingyu all know a little bit about it, they are the big masters of the Great Xia Empire's taxes, supporting half of the empire's commerce, these three are not only doing tea business, almost covering various industries, including medicine, weapons firms, silk shops, minerals and many other aspects, but the tea business in Longquan Town is the most real business.

It is not by chance that the enterprises that can do business so smoothly in the Great Xia Empire have their own backstage.

Take Mingsheng Group as an example, his background is the Dongmu family, the Dongmu family has shares, and it is the largest shareholder behind it, Mingsheng Group is a joint chamber of commerce, and there are many imperial families behind it, and it is a chamber of commerce worthy of the name of official interests, but even if there is a big family of the Great Xia Empire behind it, it is not the largest group, and the largest business group should be the Oriental giant businessman.

This group was initiated and formed by the people, and it can be seen that the power of the people is the greatest.

The last of the three business giants is the Yide elite, this is purely a person, it is said that the boss behind it is called Yide, and this person has been a businessman since he was a child, and has a very shrewd business mind.

Yuan Mingyu still knows little about doing business, she is not ready to do business, so she will not work this, for these things, it is okay to know some of them, Han Ningzi did not plan to buy tea in anyone's house, but Yuan Mingyu had an idea, since the tea here is almost the same price, any one can be, and the quality of tea is definitely the best.

The best quality tea, of course, is also the most expensive, the most expensive tea here, the cheapest tea than the price, almost a few thousand gold, but Yuan Mingyu doesn't care about this little money, although he is not a rich man, but Qi Baishan is still not bad money, this little money, she can still get it, especially used to honor those elders in the mountain, they are all Shenwu Daxian, Da Luo Xian's level, naturally the disadvantage is not, if it is not for Qi Baishan's very few gifts from outsiders, those big families of the empire are eager to send good things.

Han Ningzi and Yuan Mingyu then went to a counter and fell in love with a tea called 'Longquan Dragon', which was placed at the top of the counter and was the most expensive type of tea.

"Man, this kind of tea, ten catties. Yuan Mingyu said.

There are at least hundreds of counters in this tea market, almost every counter is crowded with people, and there are also a lot of service staff in the counters, which is basically just enough to meet the demand.

Yuan Mingyu also chose this counter by virtue of the fact that there are more people, and the more people there are, the better the quality of the tea, otherwise these people will not gather here.

After hearing the figure of ten catties, the crowd not only looked sideways, but was very surprised.

Although these people are all rich people, they rarely have such a method of buying ten catties or ten catties.

"Ten pounds, I heard you right, right?"

"Oh my God, who the hell is this?"

A little girl at the counter saw a big customer, so she put down her business and made a special trip to take care of it, she was very happy at first, because she had sold tea for so long, and it was the first time she heard that someone would ask for ten catties at a time, which was a big number, how could it be a joke, but then, her face changed.

"This girl, do you want this kind of tea like 'Longquan Dragon'?" said the little girl at the counter with a frown.

Yuan Mingyu was a little ignorant, I don't know why the other party has such an expression, why does it seem that he is unwilling to sell?

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Then I'm sorry, there was just news from above that this tea has been removed from the shelves. The girl at the counter shrugged.

"Off the shelves?" Yuan Mingyu was stunned for a moment, could it be said that it was sold out?

"Yes, it's better for the girl to buy some other tea, although the tea that the girl bought is the best tea for us here, and even in the Great Xia Empire, there are other alternatives, such as this, 'Long Fuyun', which is also a good tea. ”

"Didn't I see that there was still one on the counter?" Yuan Mingyu recognized the 'Longquan Dragon' and didn't want any 'Dragon Floating Cloud'.

"Girl, you can embarrass me, although there is a counter, but our quantity here is only twenty catties, and it is not a secret, girl, you are a wise eye, the annual output of Longquan dragon tea is less than two hundred catties, the girl will be ten catties at a time, if it is in normal times, but it is a great patron, but in addition to giving a hundred catties to the royal family, only one hundred catties can be sold, this hundred catties have been bought, so can not be sold to the girl, if the girl insists on selling, we can only say sorry to the girl, it is better for the girl to wait another year, make an appointment first, and wait for the tea next year, we will notify the girl to pick it up。 The girl at the counter said bitterly, she didn't want to offend Yuan Mingyu because of this, so she took great pains to explain.
