The final transaction price of this altar of bamboo leaves was one hundred and sixty-eight taels of silver.

Strictly speaking, this price is still good, 60% higher than the normal selling price of Tianmen Shanfang City, and for Liu Xiaolou, it is doubled. Originally, he was still trying to make a false payment, wanting to exchange a jar of bamboo leaves for a spirit stone, but the people in charge looked at him like a fool, and when he saw that in the end, he felt that it was too much, so he changed his mouth and accepted the silver.

After the wine was sold, Liu Xiaolou scratched his head and said in disbelief: "He just bought it?" Don't ask where the wine comes from? ”

Zuo Gaofeng said with a smile: "They don't want to ask, and if they ask, it's just to add to their troubles." ”

Liu Xiaolou thought thoughtfully: "In this way, there is really no danger for us to return to the mountain in a grand manner." ”

Zuo Gaofeng said: "Of course, there is danger, but it is not big, you see, isn't this coming......"

As he spoke, several servants of the Qingyu Sect each held a wooden plaque and paraded on the cliff, and the wooden plaques were painted with portraits.

"Reward the bandits of Oolong Mountain, those who provide clues, and five spirit stones!" The deacon of the Qingyu Sect, who was in custody, walked in front of the team and shouted loudly.

Liu Xiaolou watched curiously as the group of people came to the stone cave, lifted the portraits one by one over their heads, and showed them to a few of them.

"Bandit Leader Wang's ......"

"Bandit Zodai raises ......"

"Bandit Left Peak ......"

The deacon of the Qingyu Sect asked, "Have you seen these people?" ”

Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang shook their heads at the same time: "I haven't seen it." ”

The deacon looked at Liu Xiaolou again, Liu Xiaolou looked at Zuo Gaofeng, and when he looked at it, in fact, the portrait was still three points similar, so he hurriedly shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

The deacon led the team to continue walking to the other side, and Liu Xiaolou said in a low voice: "Lord Xia, you have been recorded?" ”

Zuo Gaofeng smiled: "Let them go, the painting skills are too poor, and if they can't catch people, they can only blame themselves." ”

Tan Bazhang complained: "There is no Tan...... Is Tan not fierce enough? ”

Liu Xiaolou looked at the prosperity on the Ghost Dream Cliff and sighed: "Who believes it?" ”

He didn't want to delay, so he told Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang: "My brother went to Tianmen Mountain to buy wine, and he will come back in two days." ”

Carrying the silver down the mountain, went straight to the Hongji Restaurant in Tianmenfang City, and after ordering wine and food to fill his stomach, the shopkeeper sent in a jar of bamboo leaves: "The owner has instructed that when Liu Gongzi comes again, you can drink this wine, but at most one jar a day, you can't drink more." ”

Liu Xiaolou took the wine and left, hid it in the house of Pinggu in Yangliuwan, and rested here for one night. This house can be called a murderous house, but when the perpetrator moves in, there is nothing to be afraid and worry about, and it is still sweet to sleep.

The next day, he continued to order and drink at Hung Kee Restaurant, and took away the second altar of bamboo leaves. So far, one hundred and sixty taels of silver have been exchanged for two jars of bamboo leaf green, and the remaining eight taels have been converted into vegetable money.

That night, Liu Xiaolou carried two jars of spiritual wine and rushed back to the Ghost Dream Cliff of Wulong Mountain, when it was the end of the Yin period, the Fang City was not opened, and the cliff was very deserted, only Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang stayed in the cave.

As the sky brightened, the merchants went up to the Ghost Dream Cliff one after another, and even the villagers under the Qianzhu Ridge came up with burdens and baskets on their backs, although they sold not rare mountain goods, but those candies, cakes and other things, and even freshly boiled soup porridge, etc., added a lot of fireworks to the Ghost Dream Cliff, but also attracted a lot of servants and maids of the Qingyu Sect to patronize.

Tian Bo also set up a small stall, brought more than a dozen pieces of bacon on the beams of his house, spread them out for sale, and glanced at Liu Xiaolou, each smiling.

The steward of the Qingyu Sect, who had bought wine before, also walked up, and when he saw the two altars of bamboo leaves beside Liu Xiaolou, he immediately smiled: "This time I got two altars?" ”

Liu Xiaolou finally had the courage to ask for the spirit stone: "It's not easy, I barely collected it after running down and breaking my leg." ...... last time you said"

The steward didn't say a word, and took out a spirit stone: "One spirit stone and two altars!" ”

Liu Xiaolou did not agree: "The price of bamboo leaf green, three months ago, it was indeed a spirit stone and two altars, but what is the price now, you also know, not to mention that I broke my leg when I ran down, and I specially picked it up on the mountain......"

The person in charge put on a look of a fool again, this time Liu Xiaolou had already adapted to it, and said: "I don't ask for a price in the next, a spirit stone and two altars of bamboo leaves, this price is definitely not good, and there is no profit in the next." You don't need to add any more spirit stones, but you can add another one hundred and sixty taels. ”

The steward said: "According to the price last time, one hundred and sixty taels to buy you an altar of bamboo leaf green, which is equivalent to the remaining altar I pay for a spirit stone, am I stupid?" ”

Liu Xiaolou said: "Wine is getting more and more difficult, you know this." ”

The steward said: "When our Qingyu Sect returns to Dongting, this spirit wine will naturally be easy to get, and you should know this." ”

Liu Xiaolou calculated, and said helplessly: "Then I'll still collect the cash." ”

The two bargained, and finally sold for three hundred and twenty taels of silver.

There are no specific rules for the exchange of spirit stones and silver, just what you need. So far, it is more cost-effective to collect cash, because he can buy more bamboo leaves with silver. Of course, when to change to spirit stones, the timing must also be safe, and now it is to take advantage of the conflict between the Qingyu Sect and Tianmu Mountain, so that he can steal a bite from it, otherwise the time will pass, and the large amount of silver he has stored will be a risk, and there will not be many spirit stones exchanged.

The steward was also very satisfied, because he was able to hand over the errand, and he didn't have to go to other sects hundreds of miles away to toss, so he said to Liu Xiaolou: "My surname is Hou, you can call me Hou Steward, and if you bring spiritual wine in the future, you will keep it for me, and you are not allowed to sell it to others, understand?" If anyone buys it by force, you will call it by my name. ”

Liu Xiaolou asked cautiously: "I heard that there is a visiting deacon in your sect, also surnamed Hou, I don't know ......."

Steward Hou smiled: "Oh? Have you heard of my brother? That's right, it's my brother, my own brother. ”

Liu Xiaolou arched his hand: "Long admiration, long admiration!" ”

Liu Xiaolou saw him come to Tian Bo's stall, bought two pieces of bacon with silver, and licked the oil stains touched on his fingers, smacked his tongue, seemed to be very satisfied, and hung the bacon on the flat shoulder carried by the servant.

The two Hou steward brothers are all practicable, and they belong to the deacons and stewards of the inner gate, and those deacons and stewards of the outer gate are not the same as whispering, Liu Xiaolou hung in the distance, looking at the style of his purchase, and found that what he bought was basically all kinds of meat.

Love meat?

With the silver, Liu Xiaolou continued his errand career and went to Tianmen Shanfang City, nearly 200 miles away, to continue to carry bamboo leaves. He soaked in the Hongji Restaurant for four days, got four jars of bamboo leaves, picked them up with a flat shoulder, and returned to Wulong Mountain overnight.
