Chapter 346: Heaven and South, Earth and North Pavilion
"Pay back your part-time job?"
Pang Wentong looked Nie Chen up and down carefully, and a surprised expression appeared on his face, and then said with a smile:
"My Lao Pang has been in this moon viewing building for more than 20 years, and the guests who come and go from the north to the south have read countless books, and I think that I still have a little bit of vision, and people like Gongzi are not something I can afford."
Nie Chen said seriously: "Shopkeeper Pang, I really didn't bring any money, I volunteered to stay and work for you, as for the salary, it will be according to the rules of your store." As he spoke, he also glanced at the shopkeeper next to him who was greeting customers.
"Oh?"
When Pang Wentong heard this, his body couldn't help but lean back, and his face became more and more solemn, but seeing that Nie Chen's attitude was sincere, it didn't look like he was joking, so he thought about it and said:
"Childe's meal today is eight taels of silver."
Pang Wentong looked at the shopkeeper on the side and continued: "If you work in a small shop, your monthly salary is only five dollars of silver, how long will you be able to afford it?" ”
Nie Chen was stunned on the spot when he heard this, thinking that when he and Nie Ling'er were in Wanbaolou, they could be described as spending a lot of money, and they didn't frown at the expense of tens of thousands of taels of gold, but now because of a mere eight taels of silver, they have to work for others for 16 months, and they are still without eating or drinking, it seems that the life of ordinary people is really not easy.
Looking at the stunned Nie Chen, Pang Wentong laughed unconsciously, as if he saw the other party's difficulties, so he stepped forward and whispered:
"But my Lao Pang has a place to introduce to you, where the income from working is much better than mine, is my son willing to go?"
When Nie Chen heard this, he hurriedly asked, "What place?" ”
"Heaven and South Earth North Pavilion!"
There is a small river in the northwest of Mingque City, the river surface is ten zhang wide, the river water is from the melting snow water on the snow-capped mountains in the distance, it is extremely clear, and passes through Mingque City.
Nie Chen walked for three or four hours under the leadership of Pang Wentong and walked to the river, only to see a stone bridge crossing the river, and the two big characters "Lethe River" were engraved on the bridge.
"You will arrive after crossing the Lethe Bridge."
Lao Pang wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at Nie Chen.
The bridge was not long, but it was wide enough to accommodate seven or eight wagons side by side, and there were not many pedestrians on the bridge, but there were many wheelbarrows and carriages coming and going, as if all the means of transport in the city had gathered here.
After crossing the bridge, he saw two middle-aged men standing on the bridge, and Nie Chen's eyes swept and he saw that the other party was a martial artist.
One Yuan Shi has three products, and one Yuan Shi has four products.
Nie Chen was secretly surprised in his heart, he had walked in Mingque City for most of the day just now, and he had not met half a martial artist on the road, but he suddenly met two here, and they were obviously waiting at the bridge.
Pang Wentong and Nie Chen stepped forward and greeted the two martial artists:
"Brother Xiong, Brother Chen."
The two middle-aged warriors also bowed their hands politely when they saw Lao Pang and said:
"Shopkeeper Pang, why are you here?"
Lao Pang pointed to Nie Chen beside him and said:
"Bring a friend and want to get him a job here."
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Xiong glanced at Nie Chen, then smiled and nodded at him, which was considered to have said hello. Nie Chen also looked at the two of them with a smile, arched his hand, and followed Pang Wentong forward.
At this time, Nie Chen found that although it was also an extremely prosperous market, it was much more unified in terms of planning, all the shops were pale yellow, and the goods in the shops were displayed in an orderly manner.
This area of the city is extremely wide, not to mention there are hundreds of shops, there are only vehicles transporting goods and pedestrians shuttling on the roadside, no one has set up stalls on the roadside, and the road is much smoother, all made of smooth stone slabs.
In the crowd of people walking through this city, the vast majority of them were martial artists with cultivation, Nie Chen carefully used a divine soul power to protect himself, and at the same time probed around, and found that the highest cultivation among these martial artists was an eight-rank Yuan General, and most of the others were martial artists in the Yuan Master realm.
There are merchants standing in the store, but the difference is that no one shouts in the shops here, and no one solicits customers, just sits there quietly, waiting for the customers to come forward to ask, and the voice of the conversation is also very small, it seems that the volume is deliberately lowered so that people don't want to hear, and there are many shops that close the door of the store after the guests come to the door, and only reopen the door to welcome customers when the business is negotiated.
What surprised Nie Chen even more was the goods displayed in the shop: Moon Spirit Tree, Nine Shadows Wood, Containing Flint Stone, Black Sand Powder, Dark Iron Ore, and even the Inner Dan and Yuan Stone of Spirit Beasts, and so on......
Countless Dao Heaven and Earth Vitality was thick or faint from those goods sold, attracting Nie Chen's frequent sideways.
Pang Wentong on the side saw that Nie Chen's gaze at these commodities was a little focused, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but he didn't speak, and continued to walk forward with Nie Chen.
After another half an hour, the road in front of him suddenly opened up, and a tall building appeared in front of Nie Chen's eyes, this is a high-rise building, and the door plaque in front of the building is engraved with five powerful characters: "Tiannandibeige." ”
This building is more than 20 zhang high, full of 15 floors, from the windows on both sides of the tall building, each floor has more than 30 rooms, the windows and doors are closed, and there are thick curtains in the windows, blocking the view.
Walking into the Tiannandi North Pavilion, the first floor is the lobby, this lobby is extremely wide, there are more than 20 martial artists standing inside, the eyes are staggered, and the Dao Dao Yuan Force fluctuations are released from the body, crisscrossing the space.
An old man slowly walked out of the lobby, and when he saw Pang Wentong, he greeted him with a smile:
"Isn't this the little Pang of the Moon Viewing Tower? What are you doing here? ”
Pang Wentong respectfully saluted the old man and said, "Mr. Wen, there is a friend who wants to get a job with you, I wonder if you need manpower here?" ”
The person known as Mr. Wen let out an "oh", and looked at Nie Chen carefully with a pair of eyes, and at the same time, a divine soul power also diffused from the center of the old man's eyebrows, and struck Nie Chen's body a few times.
Mr. Wen didn't notice the slightest fluctuation of Yuan Force on Nie Chen's body, but Nie Chen immediately sensed that the other party's strength was at the peak of the Yuan Master's Nine Ranks, so he smiled at the other party silently.
Mr. Na Wen didn't notice Nie Chen's cultivation, he was just a mortal, but he didn't take out the martial artist's frame at all, but asked kindly:
"The little brother is a talent, but he is from Liuli City?"
Nie Chen shook his head.
"Oh, hehe"
Seeing that Nie Chen denied it, but did not tell the origin, the old man was also understanding and stopped asking.
So he said: "Our business has become more and more prosperous in the past few years, but there is really a shortage of manpower, are you willing to stay here to work?" The salary is two taels of silver per month. ”
Nie Chen nodded heavily when he heard this, and then said with some hesitation:
"Uh...... I wonder if I can make an advance of three months' wages? ”
