Chapter 289: Qian Hangzi
"You don't know?" Hearing this, even the guy was stunned, wondering what this guest was here for. Of course, he naturally didn't dare to ask a guy.
"I don't know, it seems to be very interesting, but this money hanger, but it is a kind of soul elixir Huang Jieling?" Le Qi replied very honestly, but this money hanger, it sounds a little familiar, it seems that there is a soul elixir called Huang Jieling because the fruit can hang a long string, the color is golden and flat, it looks a bit like a large string of gold coins, so it is also called Qian Jiaozi.
Listening to Le Qi's words, the guy couldn't help but be surprised, this guest actually knew the name of Qian Jiaozi, you know, even many adventurers in the town who pick it all year round said that they didn't know this. I couldn't help but be surprised: "The guest really has insight! This Qian Jiaozi is the soul elixir Huang Jieling, but we basically call it Qian Jiaozi here." β
"Then what did you say about the Qian Jiaozi Picking Competition? Who picked more in the competition?" Le Qi asked suspiciously, Qian Jiaozi is Huang Jieling, he knows, but this kind of thing can still be a picking competition? What is the point?
The guy nodded and agreed: "Hehe, you are really right, the Qian Jiaozi Picking Contest is more than anyone else, and the grade is higher! Of course, there are some reasons for this, our Luoyun Town, close to the Ronan Mountains, and the Ronan Mountains are rich in the precious soul elixir of Qian Jiaozi due to climate and landform and other reasons, so Luoyun Town has become the largest production area of Qian Jiaozi in the empire.
Many adventurers in Luoyun Town can recognize and know how to pick, so picking money hangers has become an indispensable way for many people to make a living.
However, adventurers are basically not alchemists, so the money they pick is basically sold to the drugstores opened by the adventurer's guild in exchange for the corresponding currency.
Needless to say, the adventurer's guild and the two families in charge of the branch naturally made a lot of money, but this money was too much, but the heart was a little unsteady, so they held a month-long money hanging picking festival every summer when the medicinal effect of the money hanging seeds was the best and the most mature quantity, and sold the freshly picked money hanging seeds at this time, the price was thirty percent higher than usual, and it was also a concession to repay the adventurers for their support in the past year, and at the same time, they could also take this opportunity to buy people's hearts, so that adventurers could continue to sell the picked money hanging seeds to themγ
In the middle of the festival, there will be a three-day money hanging picking competition, all certified adventurers can sign up to participate, and the competition method is naturally more than who picks money hangers, and who picks the highest grade of money hangers. The newly picked money hangers in these three days can be sold at double the price, and the winners can also get rich rewards!"
After listening to the explanation, Le Qi felt that these people were quite smart. It seems to be beneficial to others, but in fact, the adventurers have indeed gained a lot of benefits, but to say that the biggest profiteers are still the adventurers' guild and the two helmsmen. Although they gave up some of their benefits, they were able to retain people's hearts, which also retained a stable supply of goods and ensured long-term stable income.
Business, you have to do it together, money, you have to earn it together. Otherwise, the benefits are eaten by your family, and the other party will be very uncomfortable, and maybe one day other forces will take advantage of the situation and snatch all the goods, and at that time, you will want to cry without tears.
"The competition is quite interesting, but what I don't understand is that since the price of money hangers is quite high, why don't you participate, just find a few strings, it's a lot higher than the salary of a buddy, right?" Le Qi asked, being an errand boy is estimated to be not as much as the front desk maid, how much money can be earned in a month. It's better to become a medicine picker, this profession is not required anyway
To be strong, as long as you can discern the elixir, it is enough.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, the guy continued: "You are joking, most of us who are buddies are ordinary people who can't cultivate, where do they dare to go into the dangerous mountains where demon beasts are rampant to pick money and hangers." As for the medicine pickers, it is even more difficult, they can't recognize two or three elixirs in total, and books on this area are also very rare, and the general hunting team commissions are not to mention, and many of them directly do not accept the lowly medicine pickers. As for the critical time, it is not uncommon to leave the medicine picker to flee for his life or to kill people and steal goods in the mountains when he sees the eyes of money. This road, we can't go through, it's better to be honest and be a buddy. β
After saying it to the guy, Le Qi also felt that it made sense, after all, this is not Linlang Sect, the so-called people's hearts are unpredictable, don't say that other people's hunting teams can't be trusted, even their own hunting teams may not be trusted. It's really not easy to be a medicine collector who doesn't have the strength, and if you accidentally find a precious elixir, not to mention the seventh or eighth order, even if it's the sixth order, I'm afraid your life will not be safe.
"Again, it's not very safe. Le Qi replied casually, then remembered something, and asked again: "Hehe, I still have a question, is the Lu family in Yuhuang Town very famous in this area?"
"Well, that's also a very powerful family in this area, and its strength is comparable to our two major families of Jin and Ye in Luoyun Town. They live in Yuhuang Town, which is dozens of miles away, although the scale of Yuhuang Town is not as large as Luoyun Town, and there is no adventurer guild branch, but there, a large amethyst vein has been found, so in Yuhuang Town, the Lu family, which is the only one, has no weaker wealth than the Jin and Ye families. β
Speaking of this, the guy looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "But the people of the Lu family are a little barbaric and very arrogant. If the guests are fine, it's best not to mess with them. β
It turned out to be the overlord of Yuhuang Town, no wonder he was so uneducated and uneducated. Such a family basically belongs to the nouveau riche type, and it is really too far behind the Jin and Ye families in Luoyun Town in terms of dealing with people. To tell the truth, Le Qi is very optimistic about this kind of family that thinks it is invincible in the world because of a little strength, not because of his unprovoked encounters, but because this kind of family always offends many people and calls few people, and it is full of fools who think they are shrewd but are actually short-sighted.
"Thanks for the reminder, I naturally won't get into such unnecessary trouble!" Le Qi thanked, in fact, from the first time they met, he made up his mind to stay away from this group of fools who have little logic to talk about, after all, who knows if these barbarians who don't have many brains will do anything out of the ordinary with a hot head, one or two are nothing, and a dozen or twenty can barely withstand it, but behind them, there is also the entire Lu family, although there are some suspicions of cowardice, but now he is still too weak and has no strength to be the enemy of the entire Lu family, so it is better not to provoke.
Anyway, I don't have anything to do with them, and if I am a little low-key and retreat, there will be no situation of admitting cowardice. It's just that he also has a bottom line, and if necessary, he doesn't mind sending a few of them to report to Lord Yama, of course, his priceless life must not be lost, so he quickly slips away, Linlang Sect He has escaped, what is the little Luoyun Town.
While talking, the two of them had already come to the door of the guest room, and after taking out the key and unlocking the door a little rustily, Le Qi thought about it, took out an amethyst from the money bag, and sent it to him in the excited eyes of the guy, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you have introduced me so much along the way, and it has been very hard!"
With amethyst in his hand, the guy's face bloomed with joy,
Hurriedly said: "It's not hard to serve you at all! I see that the guest is a little tired of the journey, so the small one will bring a few buckets of hot water, and you can take a comfortable hot bath!"
"It's hard work!"
"You're welcome!" said the fellow, and the man trotted downstairs.
Since it was already night, when Le Qi entered the door, he lit the oil lamps on the table and on the wall, and the oil lamps here were slightly different from the ones he used in the cave, this kind of oil lamp did not need to be ignited from the outside, and it seemed to be equipped with a firelighter itself, which could be lit with a twist.
Le Qi naturally understands this, but the little pine cone on his shoulder feels very magical, it clearly remembers that in the past, this strange thing that would shine not only had to be twisted, but also sent the fire in from the outside, why did this one light up today?
The little guy jumped onto the table, his little face was full of curiosity, and his little paws gently scratched the shell of the oil lamp placed on the table, and the touch seemed to be not much different from before.
Sure enough, this time it was twisted, and with the twisting of the original twist, the flame of the oil lamp gradually became weaker, and finally, after a "click", it was completely extinguished. Seeing this, the little guy twisted clockwise again, and when it twisted at a certain angle, the ignition ignited the oil lamp again and shone light.
"Squeak!"
The little guy was startled by the sudden firelight, and after calling out, he hurriedly jumped back a few steps, but looking at the oil lamp, which was not much different from before, he came to the side of the oil lamp again with relief, and continued to study.
Le Qi saw that the little guy was full of curiosity, and felt a little funny, but also a little surprised, I didn't think that it could study the use of this oil lamp just by looking at its own operation.
Touching the soft hair of the little pine cone, Le Qi smiled and said, "You, what a curious little clever! I want to study everything!" But I am curious, but I am quite similar to myself.
Hearing this, the little guy called twice as if in response, and seemed to be extremely happy.
Soon after, the man brought three buckets of boiling water to Le Qi, and the cold water could be obtained from the pipe installation from the roof to the guest rooms.
After taking a comfortable hot bath, Le Qi felt that the whole person's experience was sublimated. Immediately, he gave the little pine cone a bath, the first time he went into the water, the little guy was still a little unhappy, holding his arm and refusing to let go, after getting used to it, but he was very happy in the water, and refused to come out, if it was not finally brought out, I am afraid it could play all night.
After drying the wet pine cone with a cloth, its fur returned to its original softness, and then, with the little one, Le Qi hurriedly went downstairs to eat a hearty dinner, maybe he was too hungry, or maybe he hadn't eaten a normal meal for too long, this time, he ate almost three meals of his usual meals, and finally put down the dishes and chopsticks after a few full burps.
However, the big one was full of food and drink, but the small one only licked a few mouthfuls of soup, which must be unreasonable, so Le Qi went out and spent one or two hundred gold coins to buy dozens of catties of various nuts for it, and after returning to the guest room, let it eat enough.
At night, lying on the comfortable and soft bed, after Le Qi sighed "Enjoy!", sleepiness gradually hit, his eyelids became heavy, and finally, he fell asleep......
