Chapter 19: The Best of the Best
The sixth convict looked up and saw that it was Bai Chang, showed a miserable smile, and did not speak, but opened it and took a look.
Inside the porcelain vase, there is a large half bottle of black translucent liquid, its color is pure, its taste is slightly sweet, and there is a wisp of white mist lingering in it, which is really a high-grade ambergris, and at least it has been stored for more than a few decades.
"Yes, yes, this ambergris is the best of the best, much purer than the one sent before, there is such a good thing, why did you send it to me?"
"Well, this is the best ambergris, of course, it has to be stored for more years, you know, sixth master."
"Well, that's true." The sixth convict suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "This superb ghost saliva cannot be measured by money. I have just arrived here for a hundred years of female ghost tears, two hundred years of zombie blood, and three hundred years of fox demon Neidan, what do you want to do with the deal, Boss Bai said. ā
This old man is definitely knowledgeable, although ambergris is not a rare thing, but this bottle of high-grade ghost saliva is not something that ordinary ghosts can collect, at least hundreds of resentful spirits need the saliva of thousands of years to collect.
You must know that every resentful spirit in this means that it has been subdued by the Bai family, which shows that the preciousness of this bottle of high-grade ghost saliva is definitely more rare than the female ghost tears and zombie blood.
Of course, the few things he said are already rare and superb materials in the world, and I don't know where this old man got them.
Bai Chang sighed and said, "Alas, the things your old man said are good, but they are all things used to draw talismans and cultivate the Tao, and I can't use them as a cook." ā
He looked around mysteriously, and then lowered his voice and said, "I won't go around in circles with you, to tell you the truth, I want to trouble you and help me refine these ghosts, I only need two coins of ambergris, and the rest will be given to you." ā
"Two money?" The old man frowned, shook his head and said, "If you refine it, these ghosts are still a little less, and if you want two dollars, it is estimated that there will be nothing left." This business ...... It's not a good deal. But if you are willing to exchange, you can give you the three things I just mentioned. ā
In fact, with the tears of the female ghost and the blood of the zombies, as well as the fox demon Neidan, any price in the yin market can be sold for hundreds of thousands, or even more than a million, because these are all valuable things, even if they are exchanged, Bai Chang will not lose money.
But the embarrassing thing is that no one will buy these things at all.
For no other reason, in this day and age, no one would buy such a genuine thing at a high price.
The current Taoist world has long been full of all kinds of fakes, shoddy, making money is the first thing, there are a lot of fake Taoists on Taobao, the so-called demon defense Dao, I'm afraid it has long been a joke.
Just rushing to this, the Bai family's immortal guide asked for two million, which is actually not expensive at all.
However, when the sixth convict spoke, he shook his head, squeezed his eyebrows, and smiled in the wrinkles on his face.
Bai Chang knew him too well, and he also grinned, and took out the oil-paper bag that he had prepared earlier from his pocket.
"Hey, hey, these ghosts are a little less, but there's this, I deliberately made a ...... to honor your old age"
Bai Chang opened the oil paper wrapper layer by layer, and inside was actually a strange fragrant lotus leaf roast chicken.
The old man's eyes lit up immediately, the fragrance entered his nose, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be opened, he wiped a handful of saliva that almost flowed out, and said with a smile: "The six-month-old Shonan native chicken, at least pickled in a secret method for more than two hours, and smoked with fragrant tea, brown sugar, lotus leaves, medium heat, its color is golden, its meat is delicious, and its flavor is fragrant......"
"Hehe, in the end, it's still your old man who knows the goods, but this lotus leaf roast chicken is in a hurry, as long as your old man nods, I will definitely send eight dishes another day to express my gratitude."
"Well...... Ahem...... I'm principled...... After all, these ambergris are too few......" The sixth sentence began to loosen his mouth, Bai Chang smiled again, and took out a white porcelain bottle again.
"This is this month's ghostly salivation, the quality is a little worse, and I will give it to you together."
"In that case, well!" The sixth convict stomped his feet, looking like he had suffered a loss, and reached out to grab the lotus leaf chicken in his hand.
Bai Chang secretly snickered, this old man has always loved the joy of his stomach, otherwise he would not have maintained a cooperative relationship with the Bai family for more than a hundred years, so when he smoked this roast chicken, he deliberately added ingredients, and the fragrance was several times stronger than usual.
But as soon as the oily paper bag was opened, the aroma of lotus leaf chicken wafted everywhere, and half of the Yin Si Street was full of fragrance, and soon, the surrounding yin spirits were attracted to it.
Most of them are wandering ghosts and wild ghosts who have no one to worship, they are poorly clothed and hungry, and they live on the rough offerings of some people who have passed through the Yin on this Yin Si Street.
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly put away the roast chicken, and said to Bai Chang: "The refining of ambergris essence is not a problem, but it is a little troublesome, and it will take about three days." ā
"Okay, then please leave it to your old man, I'll come and pick it up in three days."
The two of them had already decided, and many of the surrounding ghosts were already flowing with a hara, and their faces were full of salivation.
Most of these are wandering ghosts, ownerless and lonely souls, and their lives are very miserable, relying on charity in the yin market.
In the yin market, fights for food and clothing often happen, Bai Chang had expected it, and immediately took out more than a dozen steamed buns.
"I'm in a hurry today, and I don't have much food with me, so let's share it."
Bai Chang broke the steamed bun and threw it out.
Although this is an ordinary steamed bun, it is also made by the secret method of the Bai family, and most of those ghosts know Bai Chang, so they naturally know the goods, and they are scrambling one after another.
Bai Chang was about to leave, and something suddenly fell from the stall of the sixth convict, Bai Chang picked it up and saw that it was a copper coin sword more than a foot long, but I don't know what year and month it was, it was rusty on it, and it looked like it had just been picked up from the garbage heap.
Bai Chang's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Sixth Master, this thing is very pleasing to my eyes, you see ......."
Xing Lao Liu was tearing a chicken thigh and stuffing it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "I'll give it to you if I like it, no one wants it anyway." ā
Bai Chang was not polite, and he was about to leave as soon as he put the copper coin sword in his arms, when a figure suddenly appeared in the group of ghosts who were robbing food, standing in front of Bai Chang.
"If you want to eat, go over there, and don't get in the way." Bai Chang waved his hand and said, but the man didn't move, Bai Chang looked up and saw that it was Qiu Xiaodie standing in front of him.
He was startled, and said in his heart, why did she come, could it be that Qiu Xiaodie is dead?
"Why are you here?" Bai asked in surprise.
Qiu Xiaodie stood there, her whole body was full of gloom, and she looked at Bai Chang with a look of surprise and dazedness.
"It's you...... IāI don't know what's going on, but after I got some sleep, I woke up and I was here, what was this place, how could I be here? ā
Bai Chang was speechless, he looked at Qiu Xiaodie a few times, and then he saw that Qiu Xiaodie was not dead, but alive.
