Chapter Twenty-Four: Merchant Tao Wenzheng
Tao Qian's clansman was named Tao Wenzheng, a monk in his thirties. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but the cultivation is not very high, only the middle level of qi refining.
If you only have this realm at this age, if you don't have a big opportunity in this life, there is basically no hope of building a foundation.
But Ye Feng didn't underestimate this person. Because he not only saw from Tao Wenzheng's face the unique philistine and shrewdness of a small businessman, but also saw the vicissitudes and maturity. This is not a simple person.
A mid-level Qi refining cultivator can be a guard captain in an ordinary immortal village, and even a lizheng in some small immortal villages. However, this cultivation can only belong to the bottom in Sands City.
But a person at the bottom can work hard in Sands Cotai for more than ten years and run a shop, which must have its advantages.
"Hello Boss Tao, thank you for giving us the place to stay, I'm sorry for your trouble. Ye Feng opened his mouth first, and took the initiative to reach out to shake hands with Tao Wenzheng.
Ye Daoyou was polite. Although I have been away from Taozhu Village for more than ten years, I am still a person from Taozhu Village after all. Tao Wenzheng replied politely. Not too polite and not too humble.
After all, he has been away from Taozhu Village for so many years, and he has already integrated into Jinsha City. Ye Feng is no longer his leader, and his help is just a friendship of the same clan. Or maybe a little curiosity about the young mayor of a town. Of course, that's about it.
"Boss Tao has worked hard in Jinsha City for so many years, the business must have been very great, right? But he couldn't let go of this local snake, and deliberately found a topic to talk about.
"Well, I'm ashamed to say it. Sands Cotai has a population of hundreds of thousands. It's not so easy to mix, Tao has worked hard for more than ten years, and he just barely makes a living in a small shop. Tao Wenzheng said modestly. said that he had achieved nothing, but there was no look of frustration on his face, and there was even some pride.
It is indeed pride, a penniless, powerless little monk can earn a shop in Sands Cotai is already a great achievement. A lot of people have been just guys in Sands City for the rest of their lives.
"Boss Tao humbled himself. It's remarkable to be able to build a business in such a complex environment as Sands Cotai has. I don't know what Boss Tao is mainly engaged in?" Ye Feng praised.
"My little shop has everything, all the daily necessities of ordinary monks. However, it mainly operates Linggu. Tao Wenzheng was a little happy to hear Ye Feng's praise, and felt that Ye Feng was not bad. The answer was much simpler.
"Oh, Linggu, we came to Jinsha City this time for Linggu, I wonder if we can go to Boss Tao's shop to have a look. Ye Feng heard that Tao Wenzheng was mainly engaged in Linggu, which was exactly what he wanted.
Half of the purpose of his visit to Sands City this time was to choose a few Linggu that were suitable for Dongyang Town. Tao Wenzheng sold Linggu, he naturally wanted to know about it.
In fact, it is easy to understand that the monk's daily life cannot run out of clothing, food, housing and transportation. And a powerless small businessman who wants to gain a foothold quickly can only choose one of these four options.
Compared with the other three, the Spirit Valley, where the monks need to eat for each meal, is the easiest to operate, accounting for less capital and returning funds quickly. Although the profit is not as high as the other three, it will not cause the big chamber of commerce to suppress it. There are so many small shops in the entire Jinsha City that sell Ling Valley, it doesn't matter if there is more or less, these big chambers of commerce have no time to deal with it.
"Of course, I'm afraid that a few people won't like my little shop. The small shop is not far away, a few please. Tao Wenzheng said politely.
"That's a nuisance. Ye Feng showed an apologetic smile.
Ye Feng left most of the people at the inn, and then took his brother-in-law Liu Yan, Zhang Dacai, Tao Qian, and two or three guards to his small shop under the leadership of Tao Wenzheng.
Tao Wenzheng's small shop was on the same street as the inn where they lived, so they gathered more than a mile away, and several people quickly arrived.
It is a two-story building, not large, with about 100 square meters on each floor. The shop at the bottom, the upstairs with people living and working. There is also a small yard for storage.
There is a plaque upstairs. The name of the bookstore:
There is also a couplet on the door frames on both sides. Left Couplet, Right Couplet,
Walking into the store, there were a lot of customers inside, more than a dozen. There are also two guys who are busy, constantly soliciting customers.
The small shop is not big, but the things are really complete. In addition to the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea that the monks need daily, there are also low-level materials commonly used by the monks on the shelves on both sides, such as blank jade slips, bound blank books, and blank rune paper.
Of course, the most conspicuous thing is the large vat in the middle of the store, which is filled with all kinds of spirit valleys.
Baozhu yellow, a product of Linggu, five spirit stones per catty.
Black pearl, a product of the spirit valley, six spirit stones per catty.
Liu Yeqing, a product of Linggu, three and a half spirit stones per catty.
Wild fern green, a product of the spirit valley, two spirit stones per catty.
Caixia Sauvignon, a product of Linggu, ten spirit stones per catty.
Night primrose, a product of Linggu, twelve spirit stones per catty.
......
There are more than a dozen large vats in the center of the store, and each vaat has a note pasted on it, writing the type, use, and price of Linggu.
And the price of each spirit valley is different according to the output, use, attributes, etc., the price is only two or three spirit stones at a cheap price, and a dozen spirit stones are expensive.
"Boss Tao, your shop is doing so well, you were too humble just now. Ye Feng complimented.
"No, no, you see that although there are many customers, there is not much profit. And even if you earn money in your pocket, it doesn't have to be yours. The water in Sands Cotai is deep. Tao Wenzheng was a little helpless in his words, but he didn't explain much.
"Boss Tao, I see that you have a lot of kinds of Spirit Valley here. Can you introduce it to me, it's the first time I've seen so many kinds of Spirit Valleys. Ye Feng saw that there was something wrong with Tao Wenzheng, so he changed the topic in time and asked what he was anxious about.
"Absolutely. Because each spirit valley has different habits, the growth environment is also different. There are only a few industrial sandbars in the Spirit Valley here, and the other Spirit Valleys are from all over the Canglan Realm. It's normal that Ye Daoyou hasn't seen it. Tao Wenzheng explained.
"No wonder, I just don't know what the difference is between these spirit valleys?"
"Of course there is a difference. For example, this Linggu, called nightshade, naturally exudes a fragrance. Although it is a first-grade spirit valley, it has sufficient spiritual energy, which is comparable to a second-grade spirit valley. However, it is only for monks who practice dark exercises.
It was transported from an immortal country called the Eternal Night Country hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Chu State. I heard that this country is in darkness for nearly ten months of the year, so it is only this special spirit valley that grows only in the dark and absorbs the essence of the moon has been cultivated. I only have more than 100 pounds here.
Of course, in addition to targeting the dark monks, this spirit valley can also be combined with several different elixirs to refine a hundred incense pills, and the female monks will have a special aroma after taking it, which is quite popular among the female monks. It's just that apart from nightshade, other elixirs are not easy to find.
There is also this colored Sauvignon, which is from ......"
Tao Wenzheng introduced the origin and use of a kind of spirit valley. Ye Feng also listened attentively. There are more than a dozen kinds of spirit valleys here, and only four or five are produced locally on the sandbank. Ye Feng needs to learn more about alien species and see if there is a Linggu suitable for Dongyang Town.
Listening to Tao Wenzheng's introduction, Ye Feng also selected several Linggu that were suitable for the environment of Dongyang Town, and discussed with others when he turned around, and if it was suitable, he would find a chamber of commerce with a source of goods to purchase.
Tao Wenzheng's Linggu here has been processed, mainly for food, and cannot be used as seeds. The price of good seeds is also several times or even dozens of times higher than that of edible spirit valleys.
Ye Feng stayed in Tao Wenzheng's shop for about an hour, and finally Tao Wenzheng's patience was almost exhausted before leaving.
However, when I left, I also bought a lot of things in Tao Wenzheng's store out of friendliness. Including more than a dozen kinds of spirit valleys, I bought some of each, and planned to go back and observe them to see the surprises in them.
