Chapter 419: Industry
There is a Qiongcheng in the easternmost part of Dahao is a rich town rich in jade, and there is a prosperous coastal city in the east of it, because of the convenience of sea transportation, it is also a transit city, so Qiongcheng close to it has also been stained with some light of Chinese trade, and the development is particularly good, plus the newly arrived prefect is also a capable person who can only be virtuous, and the development of Qiongcheng and the surrounding small counties and towns is also getting better and better.
Hongdou changed into a not so eye-catching azure gown, and walked into the city gate of Qiongcheng with Ah Lu, who was still wearing a green long skirt, it was morning, there were many people entering and leaving the city gate, most of them carried bags and suitcases, obviously small traders who went in to do business, the two entered Qiongcheng with the flow of people, and the shops and stalls on both sides of the road were lined up, and the shouting and selling were endless.
Passing by a dim sum shop, there was a sweet smell coming from inside, Ah Lu couldn't help but stop, Hongdou stopped and asked her, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"
Ah Lu nodded, ran in happily, and as soon as he entered, he saw all kinds of dim sum displayed inside, egg yolk crisp, pea yellow, poria cake, yokan, jujube paste crisp......
Ah Lu was very happy to see it, the red beans came over to take a look, and the mung bean cake was made with red bean crisp, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but bend: "Choose what you like to eat, let's buy it." ”
Ah Lu was pulling the cabinet, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but turn around and ask him, "Do you have any silver on you?"
Hongdou reached out and tapped her forehead, a little helpless: "Naturally, there is." ”
Then Ah Lu was not polite, he chose a lot of them for Xiao Er to wrap up, piled them on the table like a hill, and after calculating the price, the red beans took out the silver to pay the bill, Ah Lu took the opportunity to take a look, not conjured with spiritual power, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Hongdou, who noticed Ah Lu's expression, smiled and said, "Don't guess me with your usual thoughts, I'm a righteous gentleman." ”
Ah Lu stuck out his tongue and pointed to a pile of snack boxes over there, Xiao Er was standing aside, for fear that the pile of boxes would fall over, so he carefully took off two of them and put them aside, so he was relieved.
"Righteous gentleman, look at those piles, how can we bring them back?"
Naturally, he couldn't use spiritual power in front of mortals, so this large pile of two people naturally couldn't take it away, Ah Lu stared at Hongdou curiously, to see how he would solve this problem.
Hongdou smiled slightly, said an address to Xiao Er, and then gave him some tips, Xiao Er was happy as a result, patted his chest and promised to send it over immediately.
Ah Luqi said, "Where is that?"
After the matter was settled, Hongdou also wanted to take her to other places to shop, pulled her sleeve and walked out the door, while replying softly: "That's my house in the mortal world." ”
"When were you in the mortal house?"
The two walked out of the dim sum shop, there was a noisy flow of people outside, and the red bean protected Ah Lu inside, not caring about the girls who looked at it from time to time, with a little smile in his eyes: "When I went down to the mortal world to perform the task before, I bought some properties in the mortal world, and occasionally went down to the mortal world to take care of it." ”
"Didn't you do a mission in Shushan at that time?
Hongdou said: "At that time, the task assigned to me by the Heavenly Monarch was only to rectify the mortal immortal cultivation sect, not just the Shushan family, so I purchased some in the places I passed by at that time. ”
The Immortal Cultivation Sect, this side is close to Penglai in the East China Sea, and it is indeed on the way that he will pass by, mentioning Penglai, a mysterious cultivation sect, Ah Lu doesn't know a lot, and now listening to Hongdou mention, it seems that he also interfered in Penglai's affairs back then, and he was a little curious.
"What kind of sect is Penglai?"
It's been a few years, and it's not something that can make him take it to heart, Hongdou thought about it for a while, and then spoke: "Penglai is also the oldest sect of immortal cultivation in the mortal world, and the cultivation atmosphere in the sect has always been good, and there is a faint momentum that surpasses other cultivation sects, and the disciples of the latter sect are so arrogant and arrogant, even the disciples in the sect don't like each other, and they still maintain high standards of enrollment and enrollment conditions when the cultivation world is sluggish, and now it has declined......"
Ah Lu exclaimed: "Wiped out?"
Hongdou nodded: "It has been hundreds of years since the door was destroyed, if there are still people acting in the name of Penglai after this, most of them are not good people." ”
Ah Lu slowed down, she has not paid much attention to the affairs of the mortal cultivation sects, and after that, it is naturally not clear whether there are people in the mortal world who discount the Penglai banner to do evil, even if she knows, it is no longer within her management, after all, there are still some cultivation sects alive, and this aspect of the matter should be handed over to them in the mortal world to take care of themselves.
"Then who is taking care of these industries in your mortal world?" "Hongdou has not been to the mortal world since he completed the task of meeting the immortal realm, and it has been hundreds of years, and someone must be maintaining it for so long.
Hongdou was stunned for a moment, and said calmly: "When I have subdued a few little monsters, they like the mortal life, so they have been taking care of the affairs of the mortal world, and I will take you to meet them later." ”
"Okay!" Ah Lu nodded heavily: "Now that you are also rich, then I am not short of money!"
Hongdou said: "Yes, I'll explain it to them later, and then as long as there is my property in the place where you go, you can dispose of it at will." ”
"Rich, rich!" Ah Lu was very excited, eager to jump up and turn around twice, and forcibly suppressed his excited heart: "Then why didn't you tell us before!"
"You didn't tell me that you would secretly go down to earth with you," Hongdou looked down at her, and reached out to brush the small lantern hanging on the stall in front of her for her: "I remember that you have sorted out the things you have to do after going down to earth, how much have you completed now?"
Ah Lu remembered that there was such a thing, but what made her more concerned was how Hongdou knew about this, which she obviously wrote down after looking at it.
"No, how do you know about this?"
Hongdou told the truth: "One day when you weren't there, Ah Sheng and Huang Dou were fighting in your room, and Pea asked me to go and see the excitement when I found it." ”
There were too many slots, and Ah Lu could only choose the question he was most concerned about and asked: "Why did they fight in my room! Why did Pea call you to watch the fun?"
"Cough" Hongdou clenched his right hand into a fist in front of his lips, and glanced to the other side: "Huangdou thinks that you have been making trouble with me to attract my attention, and Ah Sheng thinks that you just hated me at that time, and the two of them bet to go to your room to collect evidence, and then they secretly ran in, and then accidentally broke your favorite jade pen, and the two of them shirked each other's responsibilities, so they fought, and the sound was too loud to alarm Pea, who was trying to go to your room to steal the book, and then ......"
Ah Lu's eyes widened angrily: "Didn't you say that the broad beans raised the rabbit to run in and fall? Then the rabbit was made into a braised rabbit by me, and everyone shared and ate it, so that the broad beans ignored me for most of the year, and then Shenjun found a better one for me." Pea is stealing my books?What books?How did you see what I wrote?Who are you?"
