Chapter 91: Buying and Selling
The Valley of the Trench is a special place to live, nestled between these two cliffs that reach into the sky. Walking to the valley, the distance between the cliffs becomes a little wider, about 15 meters, and between the 150-meter-wide road, there are all kinds of vendors, merchants come and go, and it is very lively.
There are many bridges between the two cliffs, most of these bridges are wooden, lying in the air to connect the cliffs on both sides closely, as far as the eye can see, the bridges are densely packed, there must be hundreds, and with the elevation of the cliffs, the bridges are getting higher and higher, the highest bridge Ye Ming saw, about 500 meters from the ground to the cliff.
On the cliff walls on both sides, there are many artificially carved steps, the stairs twist and twist like a long snake hovering over the cliff stone wall, separating many forks in the road, and stairs in different directions can lead to the bridge above the stone wall, and can also lead to the living area carved into the stone wall.
On the stone walls on the left and right, there are already countless holes of different sizes, and these are the places where the people of Tianqian Valley live, that is, their houses. The house was carved into this thick and towering stone wall, and the craftsmen dug out the stone caves that could be inhabited, not only sturdy, but also warm in winter and cool in summer.
To put it simply, this is probably a layer of buildings, because the height of the stone walls on both sides is estimated to reach the horizon, and the stone cave house is excavated from the ground, which is considered the first floor, so calculated, the highest stone cave house that Ye Ming can see is 500 meters away from the stone wall on the right.
Ye Ming, who saw the Heavenly Trench Valley for the first time, was shocked by this spectacular and somewhat bizarre place in front of him.
Many of the people of the Trench Valley walked up and down the bridges of varying heights, the women took advantage of the few rays of sunshine at noon to dry their clothes, and the stout men dragged heavy loads and traded with different caravans.
The spiraling stairs, the mysterious and treacherous stone caves, and the bridges that lie high in the sky are the characteristics of the Trench Valley, and these three things are the largest components of the place that constitutes the Trench Valley.
The stairs that climb all over the stone wall are like a field of Qianmo, and the traffic of Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, like an old tree rooted in the stone wall, which is both stable and dangerous.
When the business team entered the Trench Valley, Ye Ming's head kept up, and he was completely attracted by the cultural characteristics of the Trench Valley. It was not the first time for An An to come, looking at Ye Ming's surprised appearance, he smiled while introducing Ye Ming to the situation in the Heavenly Trench Valley.
"Aren't there any creatures between the cliffs here? I see that the extent of this moat valley is not small, and it extends to the far side of the road. Ye Ming asked.
"No, it won't. The area of the Trench Valley is safe, so they choose to settle down here, and if there are often creatures, there will be no people living here. Every time I come to the Heavenly Trench Valley, there will be changes here, and the biggest change is above, I don't know what stone caves the craftsmen of the Heavenly Trench Valley have dug out, and the places where they live are getting higher and higher. An An pointed to the sky and said.
"These craftsmen are really amazing." Ye Ming admired from the bottom of his heart.
"Of course, the craftsmanship of the Heavenly Trench Valley is the most famous, and they all say that they have the ability to carve out this originally nothing-for-nothing mountain cliff into the Heavenly Trench Valley, which is now inhabited by tens of thousands of people, can it not be amazing?" An An said with a smile.
"That'...... These craftsmen must also have the ability to cast, right? Ye Ming asked.
"Well, the craftsmanship of the Heavenly Trench Valley is superb. Do you want to build something? An An said.
"No, just ask." Ye Ming said. In fact, he had an idea, since the craftsmen of this Tianqian Valley are so powerful, then the casting level should be quite smart, Ye Ming has an identity as a foundry, and now his foundry is still at the level of making E-level equipment, if you want to improve, can you learn in Tianqian Valley?
This problem, Ye Ming wants to understand, if he can learn the casting skills in the Heavenly Trench Valley, from the perspective of the craftsmanship of these craftsmen, it must be much more powerful and faster than Ye Ming going to the stubborn bay to make materials and then buy a book to improve the casting level by himself.
After entering the Trench Valley, the caravan team separated, and everyone began to look for their own deals, agreeing to meet at the end of the Trench Valley in two days.
Two days were spent on buying and selling. After the black-robed man told Ye Ming a few words, he disappeared, thinking that he was going to talk about business. Ye Ming followed An An, and the two began to climb the high stone wall along the stairs on the right.
"In this place, what is more lacking is food. Whole grains such as rice, wheat, corn, etc., have no place to be produced here, and they cannot be grown because there is no soil. ”
"These things, including all kinds of vegetables, are very popular in the Trench Valley, not only can they be sold at a good price, but also sell quickly, and business travelers like to sell these things here."
"Then there is the Cold Moon Stone, which is also very expensive in the Heavenly Trench Valley. They live in a stone cave, so light is a big problem, and the Cold Moon Stone is a material that can make streamer stone walls, which can emit light. An An gave Ye Ming a detailed introduction to what to do in Tianqian Valley, which is the most cost-effective.
"And what's the specialty here?" Ye Ming was also a little interested.
"The specialty is stone, a variety of stones. Because there are many craftsmen here, almost all men can do it with two hands, so there are many stones that are excavated, and most of the rare stones are produced in the Trench Valley. ”
"Some of the utensils for daily life, or decorations, as well as the equipment, gadgets and other handmade things created are all specialties of the Trench Valley. Finally, there is the business that happens everywhere, such as the things obtained from the terrible creatures that appear between the cliffs, and there are also things in the Valley of the Trenches. An An said.
She is very proficient in business travel matters and business, and it seems that she often goes out with business travel and has accumulated a lot of experience, and she is a shrewd girl.
An An brought a lot of goods from Demon Fire Town this time, there are a lot of grains and vegetables, these things An An sold all of them in a while, she seems to be very familiar with many people in Tianyan Valley, and it is naturally easy to talk about buying and selling.
"Now we're going to the biggest trading market in the Trench Valley, where there are many, many items, all kinds of things. The first time I came, I was dazzled. After selling the grain and vegetables, An An took Ye Ming to the air bridge and began to walk towards the highest point of the Heavenly Trench Valley.
Whether it is a bridge or a staircase, it is basically constantly rising according to the "Z" shape, and when Ye Ming and An An climbed to a height of nearly three hundred meters, An An stopped at the entrance of a stone cave.
The entrance of this stone cave is much larger than that of ordinary stone caves, about four meters high and about eight meters wide, and there are two young men guarding the entrance of the stone cave.
"Xiao Qinglang is following closely, there are a lot of people in the largest trading market in Tianqian Valley, and the area is also very large, don't get separated from me." An An said.
"No, let's go."
Ye Ming said.
