Chapter 022: Confidence
Gong Huaiming really realized how much money was burned in Xiuzhen, how long has it been? One-fifth of his net worth is gone, and what he gets back is just something that doesn't have much effect on him. Rummaging through the money bag, looking at the remaining pitiful silver, Gong Huaiming figured out one thing, he still seemed to underestimate the difficulties he would face in the process of cultivating the true Dao, not to mention anything else, money alone is an indispensable problem, but it is very difficult to solve.
Gong Huaiming was shy, and the longer he walked around Baihuafang City, the more he felt the importance of money and things, and with this feeling, he was somewhat ashamed of himself, just like a poor boy who entered a gold and silver store. At the beginning, when he saw any goods he didn't know, Gong Huaiming would ask the price, but later, Gong Huaiming was embarrassed to ask, people are heroes, money is courage, no money, and he doesn't even feel confident when talking to people.
I had the intention to leave Baihuafang City, but I thought that I had spent ten taels of silver to buy tickets, even if I didn't buy anything, I would have to stay here for a while longer, so that I could learn more about the situation in the cultivation realm, in that case, ten taels of silver would not be spent in vain.
In order to save the limited amount of silver, Gong Huaiming decided to return to the Ocean and sleep on the ship before it got dark, so as to save the cost of accommodation outside. For the current Gong Huaiming, no matter how thin the mosquito legs are, there is also meat on them. Just as he was about to walk to the gate of Baihuafang City, he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Isn't this Brother Gong?"
Gong Huaiming looked back and knew that this person, like Xu Hu and Xu Bao, was a member of the Xu family's firm, an ordinary martial artist of the escort team, surnamed Zhang Dahai, and had fought with Gong Huaiming back to back when he was sniping pirates. Normally, the two get along well.
Gong Huaiming put on a smiling face, "Brother Zhang, is it you, why are you here?"
Zhang Dahai smiled, and said with some pain on his face: "I'm here to buy beauty pills." Next year, your sister-in-law and I are going to marry our daughter, and your sister-in-law said that we must let our daughter marry beautifully, and your sister-in-law must force me to buy a few beauty pills. ”
When I was in Baihuafang City just now, Gong Huaiming once saw the beauty pill, which is a special elixir for women, which mainly plays the role of freckle removal and beauty, and the user will become beautiful after using it, with delicate and ruddy skin, which is very popular with women. However, the price of the beauty pill is much more expensive than the tiger power pill, no wonder Zhang Dahai feels distressed.
Sailors seem to make a lot of money, but in fact it is not easy, the boring sea life is still secondary, the biggest danger lies in the process of sailing, at any time may encounter unexpected situations, pirates, hurricanes, huge waves, etc., are all factors that may make sailors die, and the rich remuneration of sailors is completely based on the possibility of dying at any time.
Generally, sailors take advantage of their youth and strength to make a few more trips to the sea, saving money for retirement. used the pension money obtained by selling his life to buy a beauty pill that was nearly twice as expensive as Huli Pill, just to make his daughter more beautiful when she got married, to please the man, and if it was Gong Huaiming, he would also feel distressed.
Gong Huaiming clenched his fists with both hands, "Brother Zhang, it turns out that you are about to marry your daughter, then I have to congratulate you well, and I will definitely give you a big red envelope when I go back." ”
"Thank you then. Zhang Dahai glanced at Gong Huaiming up and down, "Brother Gong, you didn't buy anything after you went around Baihuafang City?
"What are you buying weapons for? Aren't they on the ship?" asked Gong Huaiming suspiciously.
Zhang Dahai hurriedly said: "It seems that you still don't understand, brother." For those of us who are guards, the owner will indeed issue weapons to us, but these weapons are uniformly custom-made, and the quality is in the weapons, which can only be said to be above average, not particularly good. We often have to fight with others, weapons are our second life, and if the quality of weapons is not good, how can we succeed? You may not know that in our escort team, basically everyone has privately purchased a weapon, and some have even bought several.
Among the three archipelagos, the best weapon is in our Dongkoma Islands, if we are in the Dongkoma Islands, I recommend you to buy them there. Isn't it in the Yongyi Islands now? The weapons here are the best weapons sold in Baihuafang City, I suggest you buy one here, and it will take at least four or five months for us to go back to the Dongju Islands, so long, who knows what will happen? With a good weapon by our side, even if we encounter pirates again, we will be able to have a little more confidence. ”
When Gong Huaiming heard this, he nodded again and again, if it weren't for Zhang Dahai's reminder, he really wouldn't have noticed this detail, "Brother Zhang, you should be more familiar with this place than me, why don't you introduce me to the weapons there?"
Zhang Dahai nodded briskly, took Gong Huaiming, turned his head, and walked towards the depths of Baihuafang City. After walking for a cup of tea (a cup of tea takes ten minutes), Zhang Dahai stopped at the door of an inconspicuous shop. Outside the door of the store, there is a cloth flag, this flag is dirty and broken, the pattern on it takes a lot of effort to be able to identify, it is a dragon flying phoenix dancing "sword" word, vigorous and powerful, very imposing.
This is a shop specializing in selling weapons, because the shop is relatively short, and it is late, the light in the shop is very dim, only the weapons hanging on the wall and the weapons displayed on the counter flickering with a cold and faint cold light.
Gong Huaiming has no ability to distinguish weapons now. Everything is knowledge, weapons identification is a technical job, and Gong Huaiming has never systematically studied this aspect. With his pitiful understanding of weapons, Gong Huaiming vaguely felt that the weapons in this shop seemed to be very good.
Zhang Dahai suddenly remembered something, he pulled Gong Huaiming and asked quietly: "Brother Gong, don't blame my brother for talking too much." I ask you, how much money do you have on you?"
Gong Huaiming stretched out four fingers, "Four hundred taels of silver." ”
"So little? The weapons here are not cheap, and they must be at least a thousand taels of silver. What is four hundred taels of silver enough for? I don't have much money left, and even if I put it together, it won't be enough. Zhang Dahai said urgently.
At this time, the shopkeeper entered the inner hall from the back and ordered the shopkeeper to close the door. Zhang Dahai hurriedly said to the shopkeeper, "Immortal Master, do you still know me? I am Zhang Dahai of the Xu family's firm." ”
The shopkeeper is a cultivator, his cultivation is not high, and his style is not small, he turned his head and squinted, glanced at Zhang Dahai, then turned his head and redirected the shopkeeper to do things, and he didn't know if he recognized Zhang Dahai, or if he did, he didn't bother to talk to him.
