Chapter 4 Livelihoods
Bai Mingqiu carried a suitcase in his left hand, and in his right hand he asked Lao Shanlan Temple for a map of the world, and looked at it all the way.
The civilization in Gensokyo is roughly equivalent to that of ancient times more than 100 years ago, and because there are not many people, the main buildings are relatively small.
"Hmm... This is an izakaya, this is a teahouse, this is a restaurant, this is..."
Following the indication of the map, it only took him half a day to visit the central area of the village in the world and his own small house, and memorized all the roads from memory.
The little house was really old, not to mention the remoteness, it had not been inhabited for a long time, a few acres of thin fields were not well cared for, and the weeds were growing to the knees.
Bai Mingqiu decided to buy some building materials and necessary equipment to repair the house, so after visiting the people, he came to the market to understand the market.
After some inquiry, I found that the five hundred copper coins given by the old mountain Lan Temple are already very good, you must know that ten copper coins can eat a big meal, and if you don't need to worry about accommodation and just fill your stomach, four hundred is enough for a month.
Old man Shan, do you feel indebted to me?
On the edge of the inaccessible village, in the barren land infested with wild beasts, it is too harsh to think of an outsider who is helpless.
Well, heh.
Bai Mingqiu smiled lightly and continued to think.
If you have a place to stay, it seems that there are still shortcomings in repairing the house, and you need to hire one or two builders, plus building materials, and also provide food, how can you get three or four hundred copper coins at this time, although you can make furniture yourself, but plus your own food and clothing, no matter how you think about it.
It's true that he brought a few small gold ingots with him, but when he ran out, when he thought of this, Bai Mingqiu felt a little heartache, the piece he threw to the Boli witch before was the largest, and he knew that he was going to use the money now, so he threw a small one, anyway, the respect was there, isn't it.
No wonder the witch was so attentive all of a sudden, and after a little inquiry just now, the Witch of Hakurei was known for being unapproachable in the world, and every time she came to the market, she rarely talked about it, and she left when she bought something, and it was said that she was notoriously stingy, and she was also very strapped for money.
Tsk, Bai Mingqiu smacked his lips, but he didn't see that Bo Li was actually a money-hungry witch, and she was so immortal because she was hungry.
Hawkers, now is not the time to pity others, he first has to solve his own livelihood problems, and Bai Mingqiu only has blessings in his heart for the Boli Witch.
Next is the way of livelihood.
Merchants want to exclude, buy and sell? Looking at the pattern in the world, it is estimated that there will be basically no fluctuations in prices, this kind of trading, eating is the price difference, there is no price difference, how can there be any business to do.
How about opening a small shop? This is a good idea, he also asked before, and the money on hand is enough to set up a storefront. It's just, what does the store sell?
Also, it's summer, and the crops that can be produced when planted are planted, and when you think about it, there is only summer corn, which can be planted in a few days, and it can be harvested in September and October, so at least you don't have to worry about having a full stomach.
Bai Mingqiu lowered his head, thinking about the feasibility of these methods.
Once decided, let's farm and open a shop.
Having made up his mind, Bai Mingqiu suddenly raised his head, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of not the street market in the human market, but...
A pair of rabbit ears?
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Oops!"
Bai Mingqiu was just about to raise his head when he suddenly collided with something, soft and soft, at the moment when he was wrong, Bai Mingqiu retracted most of his strength, but the distance was too close, and he couldn't help but bump into something.
He looked up and saw a young girl knocked to the ground by him.
"Rabbit... Rabbit? ”
Bai Mingqiu's surprise was not without reason, that's right, the girl who fell to the ground had a pair of rabbit ears.
Rabbit ears grow out from both sides of the head without a sense of disobedience, the snow-white outline is fluffy, and the pink inner outline moves slightly, which is very cute.
The girl is wearing a white women's shirt, a blue short skirt on the lower body, looking from the bottom up, the slender and white legs are tight and perfect, the mysterious purple waterfall long hair hangs straight to the knees, and there are tears hidden in the bewitching red eyes, her face is soft and lovely, and the expression of "I am so painful" after being knocked down makes people have to sigh a cute word.
The girl was walking on the road with a basket, and when the basket was knocked over, everything inside overturned over, and the bottles and cans looked like medicines.
Bai Mingqiu hurriedly apologized:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, how are you, it's okay."
The rabbit-eared girl estimated that she was hit hard, but she immediately stood up, patted the dust on her body, and bowed to Bai Mingqiu instead:
"I'm really sorry! Actually, I was thinking about things and that's why I bumped into you. ”
The girl apologized to Bai Mingqiu in turn, which made him a little confused.
"What... Didn't I bump into you? ”
"No, no, no, it's all my fault."
This guy is surprisingly honest, and although his body features don't look like a human, he doesn't seem to be dangerous.
Bai Mingqiu squatted down and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, now it's not a question of who's right and who's wrong, you've knocked over everything... Come on, I'll help you. ”
He put the bottles and cans that had fallen on the ground back into the basket one by one, and said with some rejoicing:
"It's not broken, it's a blessing."
"Huh! Don't bother you, I'll do it myself. ”
The girl quickly squatted down and began to pick up the bottles and cans.
This guy is not bad.
With such a thought in her heart, the girl and Bai Mingqiu took all the things that had fallen on the ground back into the basket.
The two stood up, and Bai Mingqiu said:
"Okay, not a single one is broken, it seems that my crime can be mitigated a little."
He chuckled as he spoke.
The girl couldn't help but laugh and said:
"It's not your fault, and I have to thank you for your help."
Seeing that the girl was about to bow again, Bai Mingqiu hurriedly grabbed it, and as soon as the thought in his mind turned, he immediately changed the topic.
"Look at this posture, are you going to sell something?"
"Medicine." The girl seemed to have reached the key point, and her expression became stern, "This is the first time that the master entrusted me to sell medicine in the world, and I must not fail!" ”
The girl clenched her fists, and her eyes gleamed with determination.
She has a lot of respect for the people who are called masters.
Thinking so, Bai Mingqiu said:
"How are you going to sell it?"
"Huh?"
"Selling medicine or something, I bring the medicine, and then someone else buys it, isn't that what it is?"
The girl looks very natural.
Bai Mingqiu almost laughed.
It's true that the overall process is like that, but... There are steps in between.
He said:
"Buying and selling things is a science, so let me ask you a few questions, and you answer me first."
The girl nodded unconsciously.
"You're the first time you've come to sell medicine, right?"
"Hmm."
"Who do you know and know in the world?"
“… Fujiwara sister red? No, that's not an acquaintance. ”
The girl pondered for a while and sighed:
"I don't really know anyone... Those who know are not familiar with it. ”
"Is there a Lang Zhong in the world?"
"Should... Yes, otherwise people can't do anything when they get sick. ”
"So." Bai Mingqiu said slowly, "Who knows how effective your medicine is?" For Lang Zhong, who is familiar with him, and who doesn't know who the medicine seller is, everyone knows which one to choose. ”
"Master's medicine is the best!"
The girl's voice suddenly became louder.
"The question is, who knows?"
Bai Mingqiu replied with a faint question.
“……”
The girl looked like she had been hit, her head drooped, her lips pursed, and she looked quite pitiful.
"Also, if you don't sell it, who will buy the medicine? You don't look like a salesperson. ”
Bai Mingqiu's perception, the girl is more honest, not a human being, maybe she will be deceived.
Both were silent.
After a long time, Bai Mingqiu broke the dull atmosphere:
"In that case! As an apology for today, I'll help you sell the medicine. ”
"Huh?"
The girl's eyes widened in disbelief and looked straight at the young man.
Yihe's smile bloomed on Bai Mingqiu's face.
"It's not talented, and in the next Bai Mingqiu, I also worked as a businessman."
"White... Bright... Autumn..."
This person's wavelength, so strange.
It seems like... Sunlight?
The girl was puzzled, but the smile on Bai Mingqiu's face remained unchanged, and asked:
"So, as a temporary partner, can you tell me your name?"
The girl was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"My name is Reizen, Reizen. Yutankain. Inaba. ”
PS: Well, the second one is Reizen, uh... You say it's the third? No, it's not even a soy sauce maker (laughs)
PS: What's next, is the sale of drugs? It's so sweet.
