Chapter 37: Money to buy, buy, buy
Wu Bencao took Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai took Xiao Greasy, and went out together.
Autumn is high and cool, after the rain and sunshine, the blue sky is like washing, the afternoon sun is sprinkled on people, and the sun is warm, as if it is warm and cold in the early spring.
The two of them left Hanzheng Street and came to the most prosperous central city.
The difference between shopping and shopping is whether there is a clear goal. The former was free and leisurely, and they walked around the city for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a shop and walked in.
This is called Zheng Tuling butcher's shop, which is very famous in Goose City. Spirit butcher shop, as the name suggests, specializes in selling spirit meat, that is, the meat of demon beasts hunted from the deep forest, rather than ordinary domestic livestock.
Calling the flesh of a demon beast a spirit meat is like calling a fair woman a fairy, it is not a real spirit beast or an immortal, but just adding modifications.
Correspondingly, the ingredients made from spiritual meat are often called spiritual dishes.
The Kaimai soup is made of copper ox and phoenix blood chicken, and if it is subdivided, it can naturally be called a spiritual dish, but the local people are lonely and unheard, and it is not easy to identify these two ingredients, so they are not so particular.
Demon beasts can swallow true qi to cultivate, their flesh and blood store a wealth of true qi, after being devoured by other living beings, these true qi will continue to pass along with the biological chain, and be absorbed by higher-level eaters, helping to improve cultivation.
Wu Xiu loves to eat spiritual meat, taste spiritual food, and take shortcuts to cultivation, which leads to a large market demand for spiritual meat. In addition, the difficulty of hunting demon beasts is high, and Wu Xiu risked his life to hunt, so there are specialty stores for spirit meat, which are different from ordinary butcher shops and belong to a high-end industry.
Wu Bencao walked into this shop to satisfy his little greasy appetite.
Compared with humans, the overall spiritual intelligence of beasts is obviously much lower, and they cannot form a social civilization, let alone create so many cultivation methods like humans, constituting a cumbersome and mysterious cultivation system.
Their cultivation method is very simple, except for absorbing the free true qi, there is only one primitive way, that is, the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp, and by hunting the flesh and blood of the weaker creatures, they rudely plunder the true qi.
Because of this, the biggest and most effective reward for Xiao Yu is to let him eat a lot of spiritual meat. The system rewarded it to Wu Bencao, and let it be responsible for eliminating kitchen waste, in fact, it benefited a lot, and it could easily eat all kinds of spiritual flesh and spiritual grass.
After they walked into the store, the counter was responsible for receiving a sturdy man, who was tall and big, with a fierce breath, and he looked like a practicing family.
Seeing that Wu Bencao's brother and sister had childish faces and ordinary clothes, not like rich people, this person couldn't help but feel contempt and didn't walk out of the counter.
"Boy, if you want to buy pork, go to the corner in front, this is not the place for you to come!"
He raised his eyebrows and glared at him, trying to scare Wu Bencao away.
The guys in the spirit butcher shop are often very sensitive, and they hate being looked down upon the most, as lowly butchers who kill pigs and cattle, and the Wu Bencao brothers and sisters, no matter how you look at them, are a pair of ignorant and ignorant poor dolls.
Wu Bencao was not intimidated, and replied calmly: "I don't need you to remind me, I know what kind of place this is." Is there any fine spirit meat in the store? Preferably a live beast that hasn't been slaughtered yet. ”
He said in his heart, isn't it just a triple opening pulse, what is the spirit?
The man was stunned at first, surprised by Wu Bencao's calm reaction, and quickly came back to his senses, and said coldly: "The hair has not grown, and you dare to worry about the spirit meat?
Wu Bencao didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, took out a yuan stone from his sleeve, and threw it on the counter, "I don't want to see you again, so call your shopkeeper out." ”
"Yo he!" the man was enraged by his tough tone, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to beat him, when he glanced at the yuan stone on the table, and after seeing it clearly, he couldn't help but gasp, "This ...... It's for me?!"
The young man in front of him threw it casually, and gave him so much reward!
He worked in the shop for a month, and his salary was only six taels of silver. According to the currency conversion ratio of the Tang Dynasty, one yuan stone is equal to ten taels of gold and one hundred taels of silver. In other words, Wu Bencao's reward is more than his entire salary!
He stared at Wu Bencao in disbelief, almost dropping his jaw.
Wu Bencao didn't look at him anymore, and pulled Xiao Ai straight to the bamboo bench next to him and sat down.
The man was completely messy, put the yuan stone in his pocket, hurriedly saluted and apologized, and then went to ask the shopkeeper. After a while, a middle-aged thin man with a goatee walked briskly, smiling and bowing his hand, with an amiable demeanor.
"I don't know what to call the son? ”
He just heard the man's report that Wu Bencao was extremely generous, and his identity must be extraordinary, so he smiled like this, and he didn't dare to slack off.
Wu Bencao was still sitting on the bamboo bench, didn't get up to return the salute, and said straight to the point: "I want to buy a few demon beasts, the higher the grade, the better, preferably those that have not been slaughtered, so that the meat is the freshest." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched suddenly, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.
This young man has a big breath, does he know what the price of a pound of spirit meat is, and how high the price of a whole demon beast will be. With such a big deal, even many small families can't eat it, how can one or two yuan stones be able to handle it.
His smile stiffened slightly, he coughed dryly, and said tentatively, "How much kind of spirit meat does Childe want to buy?"
Wu Bencao is a human being in two lifetimes, and he is well versed in the world, and at a casual glance, he can see the mind of the shopkeeper, and said casually: "The price of spiritual meat is high, and there are few people who can afford it, so one end is enough for you to sell for a lot of days, right?"
If it is said on the earth, in Datang, Goose City can only be regarded as a fifth- or sixth-tier small city at best. The number of local martial arts cultivators is small, and the demand for luxury goods is also low, and ordinary people who are willing to spend their blood to buy spiritual meat and dumplings.
The shopkeeper snorted, becoming more and more suspicious, unable to see through the reality of Wu Materia Medica.
Wu Bencao continued: "I urgently need a large amount of spiritual flesh, so let's not talk nonsense. Let's be honest, there are a few spirit beasts in your store now, and I've got them all!"
The shopkeeper's pupils shrank suddenly, and after looking at him carefully for a long time to confirm that he was not joking, his expression became complicated.
"The price of a demon beast is almost about ten yuan stones, this store is the largest spiritual butcher shop in the city, and there are three live demon beasts in the fence in the courtyard, are you sure...... Buy them all?"
When he said this, he paid attention to Wu Bencao's face, thinking that he could capture the panic and stunned emotion, but Wu Bencao was unfazed and did not react to the high price he said.
"Three-headed, huh...... How heavy is the first order?"
On the contrary, the shopkeeper was a little stunned and replied, "The two ends are six-fold, and the other is seven-fold." ”
Wu Bencao nodded, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "We have to talk about the price." You just said that one end is ten yuan stones, since there are two ends of the low grade, then it has to be cheaper, it's better to be like this, at a fixed price, I'll give you twenty-five yuan, how about it?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, speechless.
