Chapter 242: Eating
Landing at the entrance of Yifang City, Su Qing walked towards the middle of Fang City.
"To enter Fang City, you need to hand over two lower grade spirit stones", at the gate of Fang City, the toll gate of the highway in the previous life, separated into four passages, each passage is about one meter wide, and at the entrance of each passage, there is a monk wearing the same costume, and the cultivation is between the eight or nine layers of Qi practice, one of them stretched out his arm, blocked Su Qing, and said.
In this world, no matter whether you enter the city or the fang market, most of them have this kind of rule for collecting spirit stones, and Su Qing is not unusual, so he took out two spirit stones and handed them over.
Because it is located in the first place where cultivators gathered in the territory of the Robin Kingdom, Yifang City can also be regarded as a land port for the distribution of goods, although it is only called Zuofang City, the scale is not too large, but it is by no means small.
When Su Qing flew over, he had already seen from the air that the scale of the area occupied by Yifang City was only a lot larger than the Hailiu City he had been to at the beginning.
Entering the Fang City, dozens of meters away, the first thing you see is a large slogan wall that is five or six zhang high and more than ten zhang wide, which blocks the entire Fang Market tightly.
Su Qing took a closer look at the slogan wall, and realized that the slogan wall was all engraved with the rules and regulations of entering the Fang City with large characters of one foot square.
Su Qing looked at the content on this placard and felt happy.
The management of Fang City is really very standardized, and the management system is so clearly written at the gate of Fang City, whether you want to see it or not, you can't help but see it. When the time comes, once you violate the terms of the article and are punished, you will be self-inflicted.
A market that is not smaller than Hailiu City is still worth Su Qing's stay for a while.
Therefore, Su Qing also stood under the slogan wall very seriously and carefully read the rules and regulations on it.
"This fellow Daoist, welcome to Yifang City", a greeting sounded beside him.
Su Qing looked back, but it was a monk with a figure about the same height as himself, with an appearance of nearly thirty, but his cultivation was only at the fourth level of Qi cultivation.
Although the monk's cultivation is not high, and his clothes are very ordinary, he is clean and neat all over his body, and the bun on his head is neat and regular, and the long hair that is scattered is also not messy and smooth at all. The overall appearance gives people a refreshing and bright feeling.
Su Qing looked at this person, and couldn't tell what the identity of this person was, but from his dress, he felt very good, so he asked with a smile: "This fellow Daoist, is there anything wrong?"
Seeing Su Qing's question, this Qi refining period monk hurriedly bowed and said, "Daoist friends are polite, the small surname is Xiao Dawei, and the Daoist friend calls Xiao Dawei." The small one is a shopping guide, who has lived in Yifang City for more than 40 years, and is very familiar with Yifang City. As for the reward, the Taoist friend looks at the reward."
Oh, it turned out to be a young man who led the way for outsiders. Su Qing immediately understood the identity of the other party.
Su Qing had seen this kind of person when he was in Hailiu City, like Chu Hanyang and Mu Xuan when they were in Hailiu City, sometimes they also worked part-time to earn a few spirit stones.
But the low-level monks who generally do this errand are busy making a living every day, one by one they are like earth rats, and it is not bad to appear without carrying a big flower face that cannot be washed, which is like this one, although he is dressed plainly, but he is so neatly organized, like a gentleman, this kind of professional ethics is very admirable.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, if I'm satisfied, how about paying you ten lower grade spirit stones a day?" Su Qing looked at this monk with a good impression, and he really lacked a guide at the moment, so he said happily.
"Ten, ten lower-grade spirit stones?", unexpectedly, as soon as Su Qing's words came out, Xiao Dawei's eyes widened, and his mouth couldn't close in surprise.
"What's the matter?", Su Qing knew that the reward he said was definitely only high or low, but he asked deliberately.
"No, no, no", Xiao Dawei said busily: "Daoist friends don't know, in normal times, it is very good to have two low-grade spirit stones a day." Daoist friends give so much at once, it's too much. The small ones don't dare to accept it, and the little ones are grateful if they can give two spirit stones a day."
Now the spirit stones on Su Qing's body, even the harvest of several monks, have tens of thousands of pieces.
Tens of thousands of spirit stones are already a lot of wealth for ordinary foundation building period monks.
But for Su Qing, he has no concept at all.
Even Xiaohuo's snacks for a day have hundreds or thousands of spirit stones consumed, and this is still when Xiaohuo doesn't dare to eat with his belly open.
Now give this Xiao Dawei ten spirit stones a day, which is really a bit of a feeling that Su Qing can't take it.
"Let's talk about it then, you just have to do your best", Su Qing was noncommittal, and said lightly. But the more I have a good impression of Xiao Dawei in my heart, the more I bargain, not to say it to the top, but to go down, this kind of person, no matter in which world, there are not many.
"Daoyou please", Xiao Dawei made an invitation very gentlemanly, with a happy face.
Although Su Qing did not specifically say how many spirit stones he would give, Su Qing gave ten spirit stones as soon as he opened his mouth, and Xiao Dawei believed that Su Qing would never give himself too little at that time.
"How long are you going to stay in Yifang City?", Xiao Dawei took the initiative to ask as he walked.
"It's still uncertain, is there anything special about this?", Su Qing asked rhetorically.
"That's right, fellow Daoist, if you stay in Yifang City, you will also have to have a low-grade spirit stone every day in the lowest-level guest room. The high-end ones are much more expensive, and at least three or more low-grade spirit stones are required a day. If the seniors stayed for a short time, they had to stay at the inn. If you stay for a longer time, it is better to rent a separate courtyard. In this way, on the one hand, you can save a lot of spirit stones, and it is quiet, and no one disturbs you." Xiao Dawei explained seriously.
"Oh, then there is no cave house lease here?", Su Qing asked casually.
After cultivating the truth, Su Qing was also used to living in the cave mansion, and the residence on the ground was really not lived in for a long time.
"Dongfu?", Xiao Dawei listened, but seemed to be startled.
"What's wrong?", Su Qing asked puzzled.
"I'm sorry Daoyou, it's a little fuss", Xiao Dawei hurriedly apologized: "There are caves, but there are rules for renting caves here, generally at least five years before you can rent them." Moreover, the spirit stones cost to rent a cave mansion are the lowest level of cave mansions, and they also need 3,000 spirit stones a year to start," Xiao Da said for a long time.
In Xiao Dawei's mind, those monks who rented the cave mansion were basically those who were wealthy and domineering, not to mention talking to themselves, even if they looked at themselves more, it was also an honor for them to cultivate for eight lifetimes.
And now in front of him, who doesn't seem to be very old, only has eight layers of qi practice, and is still amiable, and the touching Taoist friend is actually going to rent a cave mansion, Xiao Dawei is a little skeptical that he is dreaming.
"Start at least five years?", Su Qing frowned.
Yifang City is just a small and medium-sized Fang City in the Robin Kingdom, although Su Qing is going to stay here for a while, it is not long, at most a few months. The cave house started at least five years, although it was not a pity for those few spirit stones, but it was still a little too worthless.
"How many spirit stones do you need to rent a shop in Fang City?" asked Su Qing.
Only then did Su Qing remember that he came out to practice, and the main purpose was to earn spirit stones, like in Hailiu City, mainly wholesale, and some were subject to others, so it was better to open a shop by himself, and it would be more flexible to operate.
"Daoyou want to do business?", Xiao Dawei just asked, and immediately realized that he was talking too much, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry Daoyou, it's too much to say." In the case of shops, they are also divided into locations and sizes, can you explain what conditions are for shops?".
Su Qing hesitated, now he didn't know anything about Yifang City, and it was too early to rent what kind of shops to rent, so he said, "Let's take a look first, and then let's talk about it then."
Su Qing followed Xiao Dawei, and according to Su Qing's prompt, it took about three hours to take a look at several more concentrated commercial areas.
Through the observation of these warehouses and shops, Su Qing also had a general understanding of the prices of various cultivation resources in Yifang City.
Generally speaking, the price and grade of the finished product cultivation resources here are not much different from those of the Hu Ge Kingdom, even if they are higher, they are also higher.
But those cultivation resources at the raw material stage were much cheaper than those of the Hu Ge Kingdom, almost half cheaper.
And there are many kinds of materials, some of which are very scarce in the Hu Ge Kingdom, and they can be easily found here.
At dinner, he happened to walk to a restaurant that looked more upscale, Su Qing said: "Let's go here today, let's go have some food first."
"Eat?", Xiao Dawei was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Fellow Daoist, accompanying you to understand the Fang Market is the work that the small ones should do, as for eating, the small ones should go back to eat."
"What's the matter?, does someone at home cook for you?", Su Qing asked.
"Cooking, no, no, the little one is single, there is neither a Taoist couple nor other family members, how can anyone cook for me", Xiao Dawei said with some embarrassment.
"Then you go back and do it yourself? When did you get home, your stomach was hungry."
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it. Besides, with this kind of status, if you eat a meal here, you will be hungry for almost the next year."
"Hehe! You are sincere enough, I like it, let's go, I'll invite you to this meal", Su Qing smiled heartily, and no matter what Xiao Dawei did, he dragged Xiao Dawei's shoulders and walked into the hotel.
