Volume 1 Demon Kingdom Lan Guo Chapter 16: Buying and Selling
A few days later, as always, in the early morning, the sun was shining, and Liu Zisang lay on the bed and fell asleep.
The doors and windows of the destroyed tables and chairs have been renewed, and they are said to be new, but they are only better than the bad ones, and the wooden boards that I found out of nowhere were re-nailed.
A few days ago, the Niu Yang brothers forcibly broke into the wooden house as if it hadn't happened, everything went back to the same, and the house was still Liu Zisang and Duoduo, the only difference was that there was a small grass with a strange fragrance.
It was dark in front of him, and a small brown and yellow figure jumped down from the beam of the room, Duoduo jumped on the bed and grabbed Liu Zisang's collar and shook it non-stop, trying to wake up Liu Zisang.
"Zisang, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
"What day." Liu Zisang said in a daze, as if babbling.
"Chaoshi, if you don't go today, you will have to eat wild fruits every day!" Such an important thing can be forgotten, and a lot of anger can be ignored.
Asahima!
Hearing this, Liu Zisang instantly sobered up and jumped three feet high: "Yes, today is the day to go to the town to eat delicious, I want to eat three taels, no, five taels of Yangchun noodles, and I want to add poached eggs!" ”
"I want spiced meat buns!" Duoduo stood up, also excited.
The opening time of the market in the Great Wilderness is generally in the morning and night, and the same is true of the Lan Kingdom, which is generally called the morning market and the evening market, which is one of the most prosperous places in the Great Wilderness, and it is also a good place for the people of the demon clan to buy and sell all kinds of spiritual treasures and exchange their belongings.
Not only in Arashikoku, but in almost all places, the morning markets sell some relatively common things, which are not very valuable but very practical. For example, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, clothing and utensils.
The night market, also known as the night market, is usually used to buy and sell some of the most valuable gadgets, such as natural treasures, treasure slaves and so on.
The reason why it is divided into two times is mainly because some of the people of the demon clan are used to active during the day, and the other part is often active at night, and the night market is also suitable for all kinds of business that can be seen or unseen on weekdays.
Because Arashihashi Town is so small, most of the time there is only a morning market, and there is basically no night market, so thank God that it can be once a month, and in some big cities in Languo, there may be a night market every two or three days.
Lan Guo came early in the morning, and Liu Zi Sanduoduo lived in the trees even earlier, even if the sun reached the buttocks, there was still some time before the sun was on the sun.
"Duoduo, go and wait for me below, pack your things and come!" Liu Zisang pulled his pants and said in a hurry.
Before the words fell, Duoduo ran out of the door impatiently and rushed to the bottom of the tree.
Liu Zisang carried the firewood he had just chopped yesterday on his back, and brought the animal skins and bones tied in the corner, put the grass in his pocket, and rushed out of the house with an arrow step, until the tattered door panel shook non-stop.
Two fingers lightly placed on his lips, a loud whistle sounded, Duoduo suddenly understood, looked up to the sky and let out a long roar, and his body skyrocketed several times when he landed, and the original child-like body became the size of a cow and horse, just enough for a person to ride.
Liu Zisang jumped over the guardrail from the tree house, and landed firmly on Duoduo's back, looking quite handsome and heroic, but I don't know what kind of wind he smoked, he waved his hand, and actually made a posture that he thought was very handsome.
"Let's go, target Lanqiao Town!"
provoked a lot of chills, goosebumps fell to the ground, and I really wanted to throw Liu Zisang down.
After a stick of incense, the town of Lanqiao.
"Grandpa Yu, look at how much firewood I have, Grandpa Yu?"
The two of them came to a restaurant in a hurry, asked Duoduo to stay at the door, walked straight into the lobby, glanced at the lobby and didn't see the person they were looking for, and turned left and right into the back kitchen.
Xiao Er is an eel demon, called Shanchangge, and when he heard Liu Zisang's voice from a distance, he knew that it was the young man, so he didn't stop him but smiled at Liu Zisang.
Lao Yu was trying the soup, and when he looked up, he saw a young man with eager eyes and a little urgency, and smiled gently: "Liu boy, it's you." ”
"Grandpa Yu, I cut a big bundle of firewood, take a look." Liu Zisang saw that the old man's anger suddenly disappeared a lot, and he took a step back to reveal the firewood behind him, explaining his intention.
"Well, it's tiger striped wood, it's quite rich in grease, it's very flammable, it's just a little wet."
Some of the firewood was still covered with green leaves, apparently not long after it had been cut from the tree.
"I didn't cut down the tree according to what you said to grandpa, only cut the branches, which really saved trouble. It was because there were so few dead branches on the hill that I picked up some fresh ones. Liu Zisang muttered.
Old Yu Wan'er, last time he casually said that he never thought that this young man would really do it, and said with a pleasant face: "Hahaha, it's okay, just leave it for a few days, I will collect firewood at the market price?" You'll get five more. ”
Liu Zisang was overjoyed when he heard this, he had only been here a few times to sell firewood, and he could only be a regular customer, but he didn't expect Lao Yu to be so generous, and he didn't bargain, it was much better than the few he had sold before.
You must know that the extra money can eat an extra bowl of noodles and five meat buns!
At this time, it was past the meal, and there were not many guests, so they sat around a table in twos and threes, either shouting and chatting loudly, or burying their heads in eating noodles, and they didn't care what Liu Zi Sang Duoduo was here for.
Xiao Er led Liu Zisang to the front of the cabinet, skillfully counting the gray-white coins with a simple style, the shape is similar to that of copper coins, round on the outside and square on the inside.
It's a little thicker, with bone inscriptions engraved on one side, and ancient totems commonly used by demon people on the other side.
This is the demon ancient coin, the common coin of the Great Wilderness.
Ordinary demon ancient coins are made of low-level demon beast bones, which are white or grayish-white, and are generally called white demon coins.
The high-grade demon ancient coin is light gold, made of the most demonic animal bones on the demon beast, this kind of demon bone is also the most precious and valuable part of the demon beast, and the animal bone used in a gold demon coin is exactly worth a gold demon coin.
The reason why the bones of demon beasts are used as coins is because the Great Wilderness is quite barren, there are not many ores, and the smelting technology is backward, so it is difficult to make coins in large quantities from ores, so they use the bones of demon beasts that have died for a long time.
One might ask, will it be made out of the bones of a monster that has just died? The answer is no, and no.
The reason is that the bones of beasts that have not been dead for a long time are often very wet, making it difficult to make coins, and the people of the demon clan attach great importance to returning to the Great Wilderness after death, even if the object is a demon beast, such an insult will definitely not be done.
"Two, four, five...... There are a total of twenty-one white demon coins, and the little brother Zisang can take it. "Shanchangge neatly stacked the demon ancient coins on the counter, ten in a stack, two stacks and one more, very easy to identify.
One gold demon coin is equivalent to one hundred white demon coins, that is, one hundred yuan, and twenty-one white demon coins are twenty-one yuan.
Under normal circumstances, one white demon coin can buy two meat buns, and so on.
Liu Zisang knew that the number was correct at a glance, accepted the payment with a smile, strode out of the restaurant, turned his head and beckoned to the two: "Thank you, Brother Shan, Grandpa Yu, I'm leaving, I'll keep good firewood for you next time!" ”
"Okay!" Lao Yu said with a smile.
Seeing Liu Zisang and Duoduo go away, Lao Yu smiled at Shan Changge and said, "This kid is good, but he is quite sincere." ”
Shan Changge also smiled and nodded: "Little brother Zisang is not deeply involved in the world, and there is still a difference between him and those shrewd woodcutters in the town. ”
Next, the animal skins that had been saved for a month were only sold for forty-six yuan, and the animal bones were only sold for sixty-one yuan, and Liu Zisang scolded the profiteers.
According to the market price, his animal skins could be sold for at least sixty yuan or more, and animal bones could be sold for more than eighty, but now they have shrunk by nearly one-third.
Although Liu Zisang was angry, there was no way, there was only one furrier in Lanqiao Town who collected skins, not to mention that the materials collected from these hunters were extremely low, not high.
This time, a huge sum of 128 White Demon Coins was sold, which is quite good, and I can eat more than 100 tea eggs.
Last month, Liu Zisang was sold for more than eighty years, but it was squandered in a few days, and he was almost so poor that he ate soil.
After eating the lesson, he should save some flowers, but Liu Zisang obviously doesn't have a long memory, and little by little he wrenches his fingers and calculates where to spend this money next.
When he has money, he gets carried away easily, he doesn't think so much, he completely forgets what happened a few days ago, and the arrival of a strange girl makes his life no longer peaceful.
At noon, Liu Zisang and Duoduo feasted at a restaurant, and the food on the table was swept by the wind and clouds.
The name of the restaurant is quite common, it is called Ankelai. The shop is not big, only the young proprietress is alone, and the counters, tables and chairs are all made of simple old wood, which is single to the extreme, but there is a harmonious and simple beauty everywhere.
In addition to all kinds of fried rice, the iron pot on the stove is always stocked with chicken soup and side dishes, which are steaming hot and fragrant, making hungry passers-by smell it even more hungry and want to eat a bowl of it.
Sometimes they also offer seasonal specialties such as crispy and spicy chicken, which is made from a small pheasant-like monster endemic to the town of Arashihashi.
This pheasant beast likes to eat the crops in the field the most, and at the turn of spring and summer, it will drag the family to eat collectively, and the crops planted by the townspeople will be wasted.
At this time, some people will ask some people who specialize in hunting to catch them all, saying that they are all in one net, but it is generally difficult.
This kind of chicken mother monster beast has a very keen sense of hearing, as soon as there is a wind and grass, it will throw its children in place as bait, and they will run away, and in the next year, I don't know where to bring a large group of chickens to continue to spoil the crops, and many people can't do anything with it.
"Sister shopkeeper, let's have another big meal of ecstasy! And a plate of meat buns! ”
"Here we go!" Behind the stove, the proprietress was dressed in a blue color dress and said with a smile.
The proprietress is about 20 years old, named Su Nian, and she is in the best years of a woman, although she is dressed plainly, she can hardly hide her beautiful figure. A light green plain dress not only brings out its plump and charming curves, but also makes its movements full of an indescribable elegance.
What's even more eye-catching is that there is a strange purple beast pattern on the back of Su Nian's slender and white neck, which spreads from the neck to the clothes, adding a bit of charm to the elegance, which makes people can't help but think about it.
Most of the guests who come here are not only to eat a bowl of cheap fried rice, but also to take a look at the beautiful young proprietress more.
However, Liu Zisang and Duoduo came here to eat purely because they were greedy, and how expensive a place for a poor ghost like them could be.
