Wu Fan rejected Xia Xinghai's idea of sending guards to send them back to the academy, and he walked out of the palace directly with Xia Ziyan, wanting to take advantage of the fact that it was still early to hang out in Shengchen City.

Although I have been here twice before, the time is too hurried and I can't have a good time, so I finally seized such an opportunity, Wu Fan said that he didn't agree to waste anything.

Fortunately, Xia Ziyan usually doesn't like to show her face, so even if she walks on the street openly, the people can't recognize her as the dignified princess.

Along the way, Wu Fan sometimes tasted the osmanthus cakes sold by roadside vendors, and sometimes picked and chose from the stalls, curious about those strange gadgets.

Xia Ziyan was not so playful, she was tired of seeing all this, so she had to shake her head and follow Wu Fan closely, explaining one or two things to him from time to time, like a little housekeeper......

"This red jade fruit is quite delicious, sweet and sour, very good, but it is not as good as the apples on our blue star......"

Wu Fan took a red fruit and chewed it, and his words were a little slurred.

"Teacher, eat slowly, don't choke. ”

Xia Ziyan sighed, she suddenly felt that the teacher was even more childish than her......

At this moment, the two passed by a shop, and a middle-aged man sat in front of the door with sad eyes, sighing incessantly, his eyes were blood-red, and he looked quite pitiful.

"Alas~ I'm sorry, my ancestors and ancestors! My Lao Li has no ability, and the store that has been passed down from generation to generation has not been managed well, and it will be sold to others in seven days......"

There was a hint of crying in his rough voice, if it weren't for the fact that this was on the street, I am afraid that the middle-aged man would have cried on the spot.

Wu Fan stopped and looked intently at the man and the shop behind him, as if he was thinking about something.

"Teacher, what's wrong?"

Xia Ziyan was puzzled, this thing happens every day in Shengchen City, it is very normal.

As the so-called shopping mall is like a battlefield, either you die or I live, and the competition is fierce.

Wu Fan didn't answer him, but decided what to do, walked straight to the middle-aged man, leaned over and asked, "Hello, if you don't mind, can you tell me what trouble you encountered, maybe I can help you ......"

The middle-aged man paused, wiped his eyes, and after observing Wu Fan, he found that he was wearing the robe of an academy teacher, and he must be a noble magician!

And the most superficial impression ordinary people have of a magician is...... Rich!

So he didn't doubt that Wu Fan could help him at all, but like a drowning man grasping the only life-saving straw, he clung to Wu Fan's robe tightly, and even made a gesture to kneel down and kowtow.

Wu Fan's eyes were quick, and he immediately helped him up, and said repeatedly: "You don't have to be like this, just talk to me!"

The middle-aged man cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Master Magician, the villain's name is Li Wancai, and he is the owner of this shop. Our family has been in the herb business for generations, but a few days ago, when the children in our family were going up the mountain to collect medicine, they accidentally slipped and fell into the valley, breaking two legs, endangering their lives......"

In order to save him, the villain borrowed 300 gold coins from Qian Zhuang as medical expenses, but two months passed, and the doctor only barely saved his life, but could not do anything about his legs. However, recently, the herb business has been very difficult, the store cannot make ends meet, and it is impossible to pay the high interest of the money bank, so the villain has no choice but to sell this ancestral shop to pay off the debt......"

"Pity my child, I can only lie in bed now, I can't do anything, woo woo woo ......"

In the end, the middle-aged man was so grief-stricken that he couldn't stop crying.

Wu Fan also understood the ins and outs of the whole thing, and he sighed slightly, ashamed of what he had just thought.

Originally, when he saw the middle-aged man looking so miserable, he thought that he was secretly stumbling by the gangsters, or that his competitors maliciously designed to harm him, so that he could do justice, hoe the strong and help the weak, and return the world full of positive energy......

Now it seems that I have completely thought about it!

was brainwashed by the vulgar online plot on the blue star, and subconsciously fantasized in this direction......

"Sure enough, reality is reality, how can there be so many routines on the Internet? I just picked up so many gadgets on the stall, it stands to reason that there should be some fragments of ancient artifacts......"

Wu Fan condemned himself in his heart, then looked at Li Wancai with a smile on his face, and said, "How much money do you owe now?"

Li Wancai stretched out five fingers nervously and said weakly: "Not much...... That's it...... 500 Gold Coins......"

Wu Fan nodded, and the interest of three hundred gold coins turned into five hundred gold coins, no wonder he couldn't afford it.

This Li Wancai is a poor person, but this incident happened clearly, there are no bad forces bullying them at all, they can only blame their own bad lives......

The only solution is to pay the money back.

Looking at Li Wancai's hopeful eyes, Wu Fan was also a little unbearable in his heart, this Li Wancai was an honest businessman, but he suffered a tragedy, not only his son could no longer go to the ground, but even the ancestral shop could not be saved......

"Well, I'll give you a thousand gold coins so that you can pay off your debts, but I'll buy the shop. But I need you to continue working in the shop, and I will give you your monthly salary, but the shop doesn't sell herbs anymore......" Wu Fan said.

Hearing that the magician in front of him was willing to give him a thousand gold coins, Li Wancai's eyes straightened.

Even if he pays off his debts, he still has five hundred gold coins left!

Enough for him to reopen a shop!

As for continuing to stay in the store in the future, and even getting paid every month, Li Wancai couldn't believe his ears.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?

Is it time for him Li Wancai to come to work?

Wait a minute......

"What will the store sell in the future?" asked Li Wancai.

Wu Fan smiled, he took out a pack of spicy strips from the system space, tore open the outer packaging, handed it to Li Wancai and said: "This is spicy strips, this will be sold in the store in the future, you try it first, it's delicious." ”

Li Wancai looked at the red, cylindrical spicy strip in his hand suspiciously, it looked like a miniature version of hemp rope, but the color changed.

"This ...... Can you eat it?"

Li Wancai asked nervously, he had never seen this thing, and he really didn't dare to say anything for a while.

"If you don't eat it, forget it, and as for what I said earlier, it's all null and void. ”

Wu Fan said casually, reaching out to get back the spicy strips.

Li Wancai was suddenly anxious!

How can this work?

This was the only way he could keep his ancestral shop!

Before Wu Fan could reach over, Li Wancai simply closed his eyes and fought hard!

He devoured the pack of spicy strips, chewing heavily in his mouth, the expression on his face gradually becoming ...... Very inexplicable!

"Hehe, how do you feel?" Wu Fan asked.

"Whoa, whoa...... Not...... Curious taste...... The villain had never tasted it before!"

Li Wancai replied, he reluctantly swallowed the spicy strips, and exhaled: "The taste is spicy, it is very easy to arouse people's appetite, and at the same time, it also has a hint of sweetness, which is endlessly memorable!"

"I can't see it, you're quite researched in eating this piece. ”

Wu Fan's eyebrows rose, but he didn't expect Li Wancai to say it quite well.

"Hey......

Hearing the praise of the magician, Li Wancaile smirked.

"In the future, the shop will sell spicy strips, and you can think of it as an appetizer or a regular snack. But if you want to continue selling herbs, you can do that, but be safe!" Wu Fan said.

"Thank you, Magician!"

Li Wancai burst into tears, he didn't expect that the noble magician would care about him, and he was a little flattered for a while.

"My lord, what about this spicy ...... How much do spicy strips cost?" Li Wancai asked.

Wu Fan and Xia Ziyan looked at each other and smiled, and said, "It's not expensive, it's just a pack of gold coins." ”

Li Wancai was incredulous, he suspected that he had misheard: "A gold coin...... A packet of ...... that the villain just ate. It's just a gold coin?!"

He can't wait to spit out that packet of spicy strips now!

What a loser!

Usually he would like to break a copper plate into two petals......

"Magician...... Wouldn't that be too ...... It's too expensive? Someone will buy it

Is it?"

Li Wancai asked cautiously, it stands to reason that he shouldn't question the magician's decision, just do it.

But after coming into contact with Wu Fan, he could feel that Wu Fan was still very approachable, so he dared to ask.

"When ......"

Wu Fan was about to speak, but was preempted by Xia Ziyan.

"Can't sell it?Boss Li, what should you worry about is that the supply exceeds the demand?"

Xia Ziyan remembers it very clearly!

In just one night in the academy, spicy strips have become popular and extremely popular!

Once this kind of novel and delicious snack spreads in the aristocratic circle of Shengchen City, I am afraid that the threshold of this shop will be trampled down.

"This ......"

Li Wancai was a little confused, he didn't understand why the two of them could be so confident?

This is a small bag of gold coins!

There is no cultivation effect......

Wu Fan saw Li Wancai's doubts, but he smiled and said silently, "Okay, you just have to do it." By the way, don't call me one by one, since I have bought your store now, then just call me the boss, you are the shopkeeper of this store. In the future, when I am not there, I will need you to take care of me. ”

Li Wancai changed his words very happily: "Okay, boss." ”

Wu Fan nodded with satisfaction, he took out a thousand gold coins from the system space and handed them to Li Wancai, and asked at the same time, "Do you have any inventory in this store?"

Li Wancai put away the gold coins, and the gloom on his face suddenly dissipated, and he said happily: "Yes! But half of the space is put for herbs, and there is a small courtyard behind it where things can be stored." ”

"Let's go, take me around. Wu Fan said.

After following Li Wancai around the shop, Wu Fan already had a plan in his heart, he said: "In this way, I will give you five hundred boxes of spicy strips first, you sell them first, and I will come to Shengchen City again after a while, and then replenish the stock for you at that time." ”

"Five...... Five hundred boxes?!"

Li Wancai's eyes widened, and he folded his fingers and began to calculate: "A box of three hundred packs, five hundred boxes have ...... How many packs?"

Having never received much education, he could hardly calculate.

Xia Ziyan replied intimately: "150,000 packs, that is, 150,000 gold coins!"

Li Wancai felt that his breathing began to become rapid.

His green tendons kept beating, so much wealth, he had only heard it in other people's mouths, and now looking at the boxes of spicy strips on the ground, he was nervous.

"Boss, what if someone has the idea of playing this spicy strip? The villain can't keep so much money!"

Li Wancai is not stupid, and quickly thinks about it.

Wu Fan was also prepared for this, he took out the alchemist nameplate and shook it in front of Li Wancai's eyes, and said with a smile: "I think, no one in this city should be stupid enough to go against an alchemist, right?"

Alchemist?!

Li Wancai's mouth is wide enough to stuff an egg!

Such a respected person, who could only watch from a distance before, is now talking to himself?

He felt like he was living in a dream......

Suddenly, he was excited, quickly came back to his senses, looked at Wu Fan warmly, and said, "Please rest assured, Master Alchemist, the villain will definitely keep this spicy strip!"

Wu Fan said: "Don't be afraid, if you have trouble coming to the door, you can also go to Elder Xu, vice president of the Alchemist Association, and report my name." ”

Seeing that everything was arranged, Wu Fan took Xia Ziyan's hand and prepared to go back to the academy.

"Teacher, you promised me to talk about "Journey to the West" on the way back, you are not allowed to cheat!" Xia Ziyan said 'viciously'.

"Of course I didn't forget...... Last time we talked about ......"

Wu Fan laughed and began to tell the story as he walked.

Li Wancai, who was sitting on the ground and was stunned, kept muttering a few words in his mouth: "Alchemist Association...... Vice President...... Name......"

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he stood up abruptly and shouted in the direction Wu Fan left:

"Boss, what's your name?"

The sound was deafening and spread far and wide.

In the distance, two figures, one big and one small, who were originally full of joy, suddenly crooked and almost fell......
