Chapter Seventy-Four: The Way to Make Money
Sister Wang Chaolu is more practical, thinking about things related to the breakfast shop, rice, flour, grain and oil, although these things are very ordinary.
But in Juyun City, they divided these things into many grades, and my sister watched there for a long time and found that the people in the North District who came here liked middle- and low-grade food.
Ping'an looked at everything and found that there were not only those who sold things, but also those who received things.
Ping An found that the most lucrative industry in it turned out to be fruit, which is an ordinary thing that can't be in the ordinary.
It may be because of the underdeveloped transportation, many fruits that are available in other places cannot be seen here, and only those that are conducive to preservation can be seen inside, and the price is still very high.
There are also medicinal materials, which Ping An didn't expect, in his mind, there are so many cultivators in the empire, the amount of pills required is very large, and there should be a place in every city that specializes in cultivating medicinal materials. There shouldn't be a shortage.
Ping An is right to think so, but he didn't take into account the problem of population, you must know that Juyun City is a second-class city, and every year there are countless people from villages and towns and people from third-class cities who come here to beg for a living, and everyone works hard with the idea of taking root here, whether it is for themselves, or for their parents, or even for their children.
People with ideas and ambitions kept pouring here, which led to the fact that the pills prepared in the city were simply not enough, and a large part of the pills prepared in the city were for the garrison outside the city.
There were officials at all levels in the city, then wealthy merchants, and so on, and when they finally came to the common people, there was nothing left at all.
If it weren't for the caravans hired by the pharmacies in the city to buy medicinal materials constantly, it is estimated that the pills used by the people in the city would have been cut off.
After Ping An told the two of them what he saw, he continued to analyze: "First of all, the volume of medicinal materials is not large, but the profit is quite a lot, according to the purchase price in the barter pavilion, even if it is lower than their cost. ”
"But for us, the profits are also considerable, you must know that the volume of my spar is limited, so we must make every time we go out to produce the maximum benefit. ”
After hearing this, the two of them had no opinions, and said that no matter what they were selling, as long as they could make money, Li Shenfeng saw that the discussion was over, and took the initiative to ask Ying to go with Ping'an, Chaolu nodded in agreement, saying that multiple people should take care of it.
After hearing this, Ping An shook his head: "It's better for me to go by myself, I don't worry about letting my sister stay at home alone, and then there is the cultivation of the kamikaze, let him follow me, it won't help much." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ping An saw the unnatural faces of the two, and said seriously: "Sister, kamikaze, we have been in Juyun City for two or three days, and you have also seen the situation here." ”
"If you want to survive here, the most basic condition is the Lux realm. You are far from this realm, so you have to work hard. ”
"I went out and came back this time, and the first money I earned was for the two of you to go to the academy to study, and you also know that in addition to Juyun Academy, there are several better academies here. ”
"The admissions standards there are not very strict, we only need to spend money to dredge up and let you go to school, only by going to school to enrich yourself, can you have a way out in the future." ”
It was the first time for the two of them to hear Ping An say such harsh words, and for a while both of them felt that their faces were a little unbearable, and Ping An sighed when he saw this: "We can only rely on each other in the future, if you don't improve, I don't worry." ”
Both of them knew what was going on, the people they had seen outside in the past few days had the lowest cultivation level of the Luxes realm, and the two of them were very conspicuous in the crowd, although the quality of the people in Juyun was quite high, and they didn't mock them in public, but they saw the contempt in their eyes very clearly.
That night, Ping An put all the net worth of the three people on the table, and the three of them checked for a long time and found that there were only more than 20 gold coins left, and Ping An left the three gold coins to Li Shenfeng and the others, and went out to buy medicinal materials with the remaining money.
Li Shenfeng saw that Ping'an meant to go on foot, and suggested that he buy a fast horse, so that it would be easier, Ping'an shook his head after hearing this: "Forget it, there are too many restrictions on horseback riding, and I can take shortcuts by myself, and the speed is not slower than riding a horse." ”
In the evening, Ping An recalled the list of medicinal materials collected in the barter pavilion, and wanted to see some information from the book about the origin of these medicinal materials.
Ping An found that the production areas of medicinal materials in China are all concentrated in villages and towns, and even near those third-class cities, there are few people who grow medicinal materials in large quantities.
The largest medicinal herb cultivation areas are Hongshi Town, Baihua Town, Qingtang Town, the three big towns and the villages below them.
Ping An calculated the location of the three towns, and found that their location was actually between the two first-class cities of the empire, and Ping'an said that it was no wonder that there were not enough medicinal materials here in Juyun, it turned out that the medicinal materials in these three places were divided between the imperial city and the two first-class cities, and the rest could be their turn to be these second-class cities.
Ping An thought of this, and said in his heart that he couldn't go to these three places, there might be people buying and selling medicinal herbs here, but the price was definitely not cheap, and it was not suitable for him.
He set his sights on another town, Sifang Town, which was recorded in a travelogue that Sifang Town seemed to be cultivating medicinal herbs, but it was not as famous as Redstone Town.
In addition, the location of Sifang Town is relatively remote, and the road is also very long, so few caravans go there, after all, the journey is long, the labor cost increases, and the danger factor increases, and it is not much cheaper than Redstone and other towns.
Even if there is a caravan willing to go, it is to go to Yanyu City, so Yanyu City collects the medicinal materials of Sifang Town, and then sells them to foreign caravans.
Ping An calculated, if you take the official road from Juyun City to Sifang Town, it will take about a month, if you take a shortcut, you can get there in more than half a month, and it will take a month to come and go, which is not a long time.
The next morning, Ping An traveled lightly, only carrying some dry food and water, Li Shenfeng and the others looked at Ping An's back, they were a little uncomfortable, both of them were older than Ping An, but now they have to take care of them safely, and help them make money to pay for tuition.
For the strong Li Shenfeng, this situation is even more uncomfortable than scolding him, after watching Ping An disappear, Li Shenfeng bowed his head and said to Wang Chaolu: "Sister Chaolu, we have to work hard, Ping An is right, if you want to survive here, you have to adapt to the environment and rules here, this first rule is the Lux realm, we must cross over." ”
Wang Chaolu nodded seriously after hearing this, she worked much harder than Li Shenfeng, but because she fell too much before, even if she worked hard again, the realm did not mean that she could be promoted if she was promoted.
Ping An didn't expect that because of his few words, Li Shenfeng and the others began to cultivate hard, and he had already said it if he knew this.
Walking alone on the road outside the city, Ping An felt an indescribable relaxation, and he felt that nature was actually more suitable for him.
In order to save time, the road chosen by Ping An is basically a mountain road, and this road is basically not walked by anyone except for those who go up the mountain to cut firewood, or those who go into the mountains to hunt, so that he has enough time to contact nature.
For three days, except for a few fierce beasts, I basically didn't see any figures, and sometimes I saw each other, just nodded briefly, and watched each other leave vigilantly.
From the fourth day, Ping An became cautious, because this place has gone out of the scope of Cloud Gathering City and came to a gray area, where it is said that some bandits and outlaws and the like are often encountered, and they generally can't get along in the city where they are located, so they hide here for refuge.
Ping An didn't want to let them catch him because of his own negligence, after all, he was just a beginner wrestler, and in the eyes of these outlaws, he was like a fat sheep delivered to his mouth.
In order to ensure safety, Ping An could only take advantage of the night to hurry, find a secret place to sleep during the day, and finally walked out of the mountains for more than ten days and came to the boundary of Sifang Town.
Looking at the square city wall in the distance, Ping An Xin said that this place is called Sifang Town, it will not be based on the city wall, thinking of this, he laughed, and walked quickly to the town, just entered a strong smell of medicinal herbs wafted over, Ping An breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had come to the right place.
I first found an inn to stay, took a shower, ate something, and slept well, and the next morning, called the guys in the store to inquire about the information in the town.
I don't know, I don't know, after asking, Ping An only knew that there were a lot of medicinal materials sold in the town, but the sales were not very good, and they were generally purchased in Yanyu City, and Yanyu City had to wait for the caravan to arrive before coming to collect them, and usually came to some other towns to collect medicinal materials, but the amount was not large.
Ping An listened to this relieved, after asking the guys, Ping An began to walk around the town, a morning in the town walked around, found more than a dozen relatively large medicinal herb shops, Ping An also found a more interesting thing, these merchants seem to have discussed, selling ordinary medicinal materials at the same price.
Ping An finally had to find a relatively large shop and walked in, the guy in the store saw the customer and hurriedly stepped forward, and when he saw what Ping An was wearing, he instantly lost his enthusiasm and asked politely: "This guest officer, what medicine do you want to catch?
Ping'an was slightly stunned after hearing this, and replied with a smile: "I don't grab medicine, but buy medicinal materials for my young master, my young master has recently liked alchemy, but there is a shortage of some ordinary medicinal materials at home, so I came out to buy it." ”
When the guy heard this, his eyes flashed, and he hurriedly put on a smile, "It's a small one with eyes and no beads, I don't know if it's the arrival of the honor, and I hope to atone for my sins." ”
Ping An nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, and became modest: "What is respectful or not, just to help the master run errands, do you have Tianxing Grass, geopolitical fruits, and concentrating flowers." ”
As soon as the guy heard that it was indeed an ordinary medicinal material, his enthusiasm in his heart subsided a lot, and he nodded: "Yes, Tianxing Grass and Geo Fruit, one silver coin per plant, and the Condensing Flower is a little more expensive, asking for three silver coins per plant." ”
