Chapter 113: Strange Goods
September Fang City is a government-run city, and at the same time it is the largest Fang City in Guangze Prefecture, which has a sense of dignified and upright, and Tao Qi has experienced it before entering Fang City.
Because outside the market, a small town has been formed, and the town is full of shops and stall owners selling authentic items.
Of course, the things sold here are relatively low-end and slightly more expensive.
Because not everyone can get the guide of the September Fang Market, without some status and reputation, or without a certain amount of goodwill, they can't enter the Fang Market at all, and the "other market" is to make money from these people.
If it is snatched away by the gangsters, it must be reported to the local government and invalidate the talisman, otherwise something will happen, and the person who bought the talisman will also be punished.
In September, the stricter the Fang market, the greater the fame, so there were many cultivators who went to the Fang City to borrow their reputation to do business, and after the government thought about it, they felt that it was good for the Fang City, so they simply put away the rent.
Over time, this "outer market" has also become a scale, because sellers can enter the "inner market" at any time to get goods, so there are few things that cannot be bought.
If you don't worry about being robbed on the road, the other markets of Jiufang City are a better choice than the Xiuzhen shops in the county town.
Tao Qi walked around the city, there were a lot of goods, and the price was about the same as that of Lianqiaofang City, which did not make Tao Qi particularly excited.
Walking to the center of the town, there is a monument indicating that this is the entrance to the inner city.
As soon as Tao Qi approached, he was stopped and interrogated by two cultivators, reported his identity, and showed the guide charm before letting him pass.
This kind of inspection is not strict, anyway, there are high-level cultivators in Fang City, and nothing can happen to them.
Stepping into the real Jiufang City, Tao Qi was also shocked.
If Lianqiaofang City is a town, Jiujiufang City is the county seat, and it is still a relatively large kind of city.
There are many streets, not to mention the large flow of people, there are several tall towers and heavy buildings, and even many pavilions can be seen above the colorful clouds.
And the street is much cleaner than Lianqiaofang City, there are no stalls, and there is a special market in Fangfang City where you can rent stalls.
Tao Qi took a look, if you go shopping one shop after another, I'm afraid half a day will pass, and it's still important to do things.
I asked more than a dozen passers-by, but I didn't know where the "strange goods house" of the owner of the Qian Gate was, but fortunately, there were officials patrolling Fang City, and I asked with a smile.
The officials of Jiufang City, at least they are all in the realm of the late stage of Qi training.
The odd goods house was sandwiched between two large storefronts, the shop was five feet wide, and the door was only three feet, and the fat man had to enter sideways, and he had to tuck his belly.
When you enter the door, the depth of the small store is only one foot five or six, except for the counter, two steps to the end......
Behind the counter sat a girl wearing a scarf, knocking melon seeds, and when she heard someone coming in, she didn't raise her eyelids.
Tao Qi coughed: "May I ask if the master of the Qian Sect is here?"
The girl shook coldly: "See for yourself." ”
“...... Didn't see ......"
"Such a small shop, without a back door, do you think there are others?" the girl gave Tao Qi a blank look.
Tao Qi said: "Where did the master of the Qian Sect go?" ”
"There is no money owner, only money boss, I don't know when I will come back. The girl said coldly.
Reading a book while talking, she didn't delay her from knocking melon seeds.
Tao Qi thought to himself, Qian Keju didn't even say that he was the master of the door, so it would be difficult to report the name of the disciple of Lou Luomen.
If you report it, the girl won't pay attention.
"Then I'll wait here for him for a while. Tao Qi saw that it was not early, and he should not be able to wait long.
The girl didn't mean to come out with the bench, so Tao Qi had to stand there and look at the goods on the shelves.
Magic weapons, pills, rune paper and some sundries, there is nothing surprising, only Erniang's fairy herb is the specialty of the store.
Very few cultivators grow fairy vegetables.
The most expensive thing in the whole store is probably a flying sword magic weapon hanging on the girl's back, and it looks good.
Tao Qi thought to himself, if this is the case, he can open a small shop.
Time passed little by little, and there were no customers in the store, Tao Qi looked at the girl who knocked on the melon seeds, and felt a little sympathy for her.
It's a boring day.
"What kind of melon seeds are you, haven't you seen them?"
"Nan no fragrant melon seeds. The girl didn't look up.
"Doesn't smell fragrant melon seeds, I see you eat them very well. ”
"Nan Wu, I mean that this kind of fragrant melon seeds, we don't have them in the south, it's not 'no fragrance'!" the girl said unhappily.
Tao Qi touched his head: "This name is strange, people think it has something to do with Buddhism when they hear 'Nanwu'." ”
"Do you understand, the two words of Buddhism are pronounced 'Namo', I said that you always ask melon seeds, do you want to eat them. The girl glared at him.
"It's a little ......"
"One penny is one tael, not two prices, and the purchase is limited to half a catty. The girl said coldly.
Tao Qi: "......"
"I know you don't have anything to say. The girl snorted.
"Hey, Xiao Tao, why are you here?" When Tao Qi couldn't stay any longer, Qian Keju rescued him.
"Money...... Boss, I'm here to deliver the goods, didn't the owner inform you?" Tao Qi took out the Qiankun bag.
Qian Keju said with a smile: "Although there are magic weapons that can transmit information over long distances, it consumes too much true qi, and it may be eavesdropped, so we don't use it for non-important matters." ”
After looking at the goods, Qian Keju sighed: "What's the matter with these damaged puppets and teeth? ”
"I beat monsters on the road, put them in the store and sell them, and I will hand over the money from the sale to you for financial management. Tao Qi thought that it was not easy for the owner of the money family to start a business, so he would support it.
"Xiao Tao is interesting enough!" Qian Keju laughed and patted Tao Qi on the shoulder.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm asking you to help manage your money, not to give it to you!" Tao Qi hurriedly remarked.
"Count it as an investment, well, I'll give you dividends next year!"
"Boss, can I get off work?" the girl interrupted the two coldly.
"Yes, how much did you sell today?"
"0 revenue. After the girl finished speaking, she rolled up the melon seeds and went out, and Tao Qi didn't see where she got out of it.
"Door master, is this girl really suitable to be a clerk......" Tao Qi sighed.
"It's not easy to find a good clerk, otherwise the price is high, Xiao Wu's family background is good, he looks beautiful, and he is still in the Qi refining period, so he can attract a lot of repeat customers with these few points." Qian Keju said with a smile.
"With a good family background and a Qi refining period, why is it so boring to come to guard a small shop?" Tao Qi was surprised.
"Their Wu family requires their children to come out to improve their experience, and it is also a kind of practice to be able to contact various characters in the market. ”
"Wu family, is it?" Tao Qi was suddenly stunned.
"Guessed it? Isn't it the Wu family of Duanyue Mansion, she and the head of the Wu Township are cousins, and they are also one of the competitors. Qian Keju said with a smile.
Tao Qi is speechless, the same social practice, one is the township chief, the other is a clerk, the contrast is really big enough.
It's no wonder that the master of the Qian Sect broke through the Wu Township Chief family last time, and he thought that the intelligence system of this sect was so developed.
"I know a friend in Lianqiaofang City, who is quite clever, and is actually quite suitable for this. Tao Qi felt that Dong Yidian was not bad.
"Do you think I'm making money from this little shop? In fact, it's just to get the identity of a boss that people will trust you. As for the kind of clever people you mentioned, there are too many in the world, if I need to, I would have hired them a long time ago, not to mention, you have come all the way, I will take you around tomorrow and learn more things. ”
Qian Keju rented a small house for a long time, and Tao Qi laid a bunk in the store.
The tense nerves all the way were finally able to relax, Tao Qi did not meditate, but slept in the middle of the night like an ordinary person.
In the early hours of the morning, I entered the library, ready to pick up some money and come out.
"I didn't remind you that you came and went in a hurry yesterday, do you remember, in two days, you will pass the new book period?" Qin Xian'er said.
