Chapter 40: Failure
Kunling Mountains, the top of the mountains.
Inside an empty cave, the walls of the cave are covered in runes.
A complex octagonal formation rune diagram was also drawn on the ground of the cave.
In the center of the formation, there was a man with crane hair and a childish face sitting cross-legged, and he couldn't tell his age.
In the four corners of the east, east, west, and northwest of the octagon, a toddler of about three or four years old is tied, both male and female.
The children were covered in runes and their eyes were closed.
In the remaining four corners, there are four Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes sitting cross-legged with a relatively large age gap.
The man sitting in the middle suddenly let out an old voice: "Get up! ”
The other four Taoist priests quickly changed their gestures.
Suddenly, all the runes suddenly glowed, and detached from the stone wall, forming a circle, suspended in mid-air.
Surround everyone in the formation.
The eyes of the bound children suddenly opened, their bodies twitching, rolling their eyes, and runes flowing up and down their small bodies.
"Close!" The Taoist priest in the middle seals his hands!
The suspended runes spun up quickly, and the cave shone with golden light!
Suddenly there was a loud "boom"!
There was a thunderclap in the sky!
All the runes have exploded!
Master Xuanji spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face changed, and his hands quickly sealed, pointing directly at the eldest Taoist priest in the octagonal.
Instant death!
The other three Taoist priests of different ages turned pale with fright.
The four children suddenly woke up and cried out.
Master Xuanji, who failed to continue his life, angrily reprimanded: "Shut up! ”
The four children were stunned for a moment, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak out.
Master Xuanji didn't have time to care about them anymore, he just failed to renew his life, and he was almost killed by the thunder, but fortunately, he was prepared and reacted quickly to let his eldest apprentice bear it!
It's just that it's not the first time he's done the formation to capture the childish Shouyuan, so why did he fail?
He pinched his fingers, then looked in a certain direction, his brow furrowed.
*
In the evening, the sunset covers half of the sky.
The large courtyard of the village chief's house was set up with five tables, which were full of villagers of all ages who went up the mountain to hunt wild boars today.
In the middle of each table is a large pot of pig-killing vegetables.
The ancestors of the village chief's family came from the north, and the pig-killing dish is the dish of the village chief's hometown, so it can be said that the ancestor of the village chief's family brought the villagers of Xishui Village to eat the pig-killing dish.
Otherwise, many families in the village have never eaten such pig-killing dishes for generations, and now every household as long as they raise pigs, they will invite everyone to eat pig-killing dishes during the New Year.
Before the meal, Lei Pozi, Liu, and Jiang put a plate of fried pork shreds on each table.
Lei Pozi said to the village chief: "Village chief, try this dish." ”
The village chief picked up the chopsticks and smiled: "What good things does my sister-in-law have to take care of me?" What is it? Bamboo shoots? ”
Lei Pozi smiled silently.
When the village chief saw her mysteriously, he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth to taste it, and his eyes couldn't help but light up: "It's delicious!" There is no bitterness of bamboo shoots, fresh and fragrant, what is this? ”
Other villagers also asked, "What kind of dish is this?" It's delicious! ”
"Delicious! This dish was brought back by Weak Chuan in the city? ”
……
Lei Pozi smiled and said, "The stem of the mushroom." ”
The village chief nodded: "It turned out to be a stalk of mushrooms, not to mention, the stems of this herbs are quite delicious...... What did you say? Wild grass? That big patch of wild mushrooms by the lake? ”
Lei Pozi looked proud: "That's right, it's that wild mushroom, this is the treasure that my Xuanbao accidentally discovered, we call it mushroom shoots, is it delicious?" ”
Weak Xuan ate pig-killing vegetables with her mouth full of oil, and she nodded her little head: "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”
The villagers were stunned!
Mushroom stalks?
So yesterday, the weak family and the whole family cut the wild grass on the wetland for an afternoon is not too poor to afford to eat, but because the wild grass can really be eaten?
Even more shocked to the villagers, weak Chuan said loudly at this time: "Fathers and fellow villagers, the restaurant in the city collects wild bamboo shoots, if you want to make some money, you can cut some wild bamboo shoots and send them to my house before the end of tomorrow, and I will help you sell them!" Twenty wen a pound. ”
Weak water added: "But this price is not set in stone, when everyone knows that mushroom bamboo shoots are the stems of mushroom grass, and there are more people selling them, the price of mushroom shoots in restaurants will drop, and there will definitely be no more than 20 wen." ”
Weak Jiang: "We only peel off the young stems of the mushrooms, which is also the part of the mushrooms. The rotten ones and the old ones are not collected. ”
When the villagers heard this, they exploded!
Twenty wen a catty, this is almost the price of eggs!
God, yesterday they thought that the weak family was poor and crazy, so they thought about cutting the grass to eat and sell, but they didn't expect that people really took it to the city and sold it, and it was 20 yuan a catty!
Yesterday they cut so much, did they not earn a few taels of silver?
"Weak Chuan, how much? My house will be delivered on time tomorrow. ”
"Weak water, my family will also cut it and send it over! Cut every day, how much do you want? ”
......
Weak Chuan: "Don't worry, the restaurant doesn't ask for much, only 1,000 catties in total, so I won't accept it if I collect 1,000 catties." ”
The brothers from the weak family answered the villagers' questions in the same way.
Weak Chuan has long figured out how to sell these mushrooms.
Relying on their own people to cut and sell, the whole family can only harvest up to 200 catties a day, and they have to take time to peel off the leaves of the bamboo shoots at night, and they have to get up early the next day and transport them to the city to sell.
Tired and tired, the whole family goes out, and can earn up to four or five taels of silver a day.
Besides, can't all the people in the family spend the whole day in the fields, and there is nothing else to do?
If he buys the bamboo shoots cut by the villagers, he collects 20 yuan and sells it to the restaurant for 25 yuan.
Today, he successfully signed documents with seven restaurants in Fucheng and the county seat, four of which have stores in the county seat and nearby towns, and he agreed with these restaurants that he needs to provide them with a total of 1,000 catties of bamboo shoots every day.
If their own family harvests 100 catties and buys 900 catties from the villagers, their family can earn 7 taels of silver a day.
Even if your own family doesn't have time to harvest, they just buy from the villagers, they can guarantee to earn five taels a day.
In this way, not only can you earn money, but you can also help the people in the village, which is a win-win situation.
As for the villagers themselves to sell in restaurants and markets, Weak Chuan is also happy to see it.
The silver in the world is inexhaustible, the silver in the world, the people in the world earn, everyone can only earn what they can.
So he never looks at anything else, what others can earn is someone else's ability, he only earns what he can earn.
Today, he has run all over the restaurants in the two cities, and also contacted the stewards of some familiar big families, and he only got an order of about 1,000 catties, a deposit of ten taels of silver, and the price is that he gave away all the bamboo shoots, his legs are weak, his feet are blistered, and he tried his best.
Weak Xuan was full, and came to Weak Chuan's side with a round little belly: "Uncle is amazing!" ”
Weak Chuan picked up his little niece, who had sunk two or three catties: "Uncle is not as good as Xuanbao, a bag of bamboo shoots was sold for ten taels of silver, and the other bag found a job for the third uncle." ”
Weak Xuan likes to hear people praise her the most, kicking the leg of the baby elephant and smiling brightly: "That's, you have to find the right person to sell." ”
Weak Chuan was stunned for a moment, and kissed his little niece's meaty little face: "Xuanbao is right!" ”
The most important thing in doing business is not to find the right person?
Just when everyone finished eating and discussing that they would go together to pick bamboo shoots tomorrow, and the whole yard was happy and laughing, Zhao Butcher came with a butcher's knife and killed: "Weak River!" Get out of here! ”
