Journey to the Immortal World II(1/2)
On the busiest street in Wudong City, several vendors selling candied haws of sugar were talking loudly about business with a middle-aged Taoist priest who carried a long sword on his back and hung a gourd on his waist.
"This Taoist Priest, one piece of fairy crystal and one hundred and fifty skewers of candied haws, the price is too low."
"It's not low. If I buy ten skewers, you will get one skewer for free. If I buy 100 skewers, you will get 15 skewers for free. If I buy one thousand skewers, you will get 300 skewers for free. This is always the price you decide on!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest repeated the prices offered by several vendors, and the vendors nodded without any objection.
"You said that as long as I buy more, the discount will be even greater. Master Dao, I want to buy 10,000 strings. This discount should be about 5,000 strings. In total, wouldn't it be one hundred and fifty strings of immortal crystals?
!Where did Master Dao make a mistake?"
Many people were watching on the side, and they also found it very novel to see a few vendors talking about big business. This middle-aged Taoist priest was also really weird. Others were buying three or five skewers to try, but he insisted on buying 10,000 skewers at a time.
.Wudongcheng sells candied haws all year round, so there is no need to buy so much.
"What the Taoist Master said is right. If people buy a lot, you will naturally have a discount. All in all, it will be one hundred and fifty strands of immortal crystals!"
Someone on the side started to help the middle-aged Taoist priest, and several vendors were a little at a loss. Integrity is the most important thing when doing business in Wudong City. Once there is a problem with your credibility, you will be expelled by the three major aristocratic families, and you will never come back again in this life.
There is no more East City.
Several vendors gathered around and had a discussion in whispers.
"Okay, we agreed, one hundred fairy crystals and fifteen thousand skewers of candied haws!"
In fact, several vendors are not at a loss. This kind of small ling fruit grows all year round near Wudong City. After they sell out their inventory, they can continue to pick ling berries and continue making candied haws.
The middle-aged Taoist priest took out a hundred fairy crystal stones, and several vendors took them and distributed them. Then a vendor blew a whistle. Several small carts were pushed over from the alley, filled with candied haws.
"One cart contains two thousand sugar-coated haws of sugar-coated haws. There are two carts here. The rest will be sent over right away!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest then realized that these candied haws-along hawkers were all in the same group. They were selling candied haws on the street, and two carts of candied haws were placed in the alleys, with dedicated people guarding them. The candied haws-alongs were almost sold, and they only needed to go to the alleys to replenish some.
Just fine.
The middle-aged Taoist priest accepted four thousand candied haws, took out a bunch and ate them casually. Not long after, several small carts came from a distance, and all the people pushing the carts were sweating profusely.
"Second uncle, why did you sell so many candied haws of apples? The family is basically gone!"
"Er Gou, stop talking nonsense and give this Taoist leader five and a half carts. Tomorrow the two of us will continue to hawk on the streets, while the others will all go into the mountains to pick fruits!"
The transaction of five and a half carts was completed quickly. The middle-aged Taoist priest patted the middle-aged hawker in the lead who was wearing a coarse short coat.
"Master Tao is very optimistic about you, so pick the fruits carefully. I will buy some more in the future!"
The middle-aged hawker was speechless, and the onlookers were dumbfounded. The Taoist priest had just bought 15,000 skewers, and he wanted to buy more later. He was planning to eat candied haws on a stick every day!
It's always good to have a business, and there are plenty of fruits in the mountains. As long as you work harder, one person can pick hundreds of kilograms a day. Although it is only a small profit, the Taoist priest also bought a lot.
"Taoist priest, don't worry, the fruits will be ready in a few days!"
"Well, Master Dao is very optimistic about you!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest nodded, walked with small steps, and ate candied haws, without caring about the eyes of the people around him.
A middle-aged Taoist priest wearing Bagua Taoist robes, carrying a long sword on his back, hanging a wine gourd on his waist, and holding a candied haws of sugar in his hand, walked through the streets of Wudong City.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was walking on a small street. He stopped in front of a clothing shop and looked at the inconspicuous little shop. After he finished eating the last candied haws, he strode into the shop.
"Taoist Master, please feel free to take a look. There are ready-made clothes for sale here, and we can also make them freshly in our shop!"
A female garment worker who looked to be only in her twenties, definitely no older than thirty, came over. She had a tape ruler hanging around her neck, a needle hoop on the fingers of her right hand, and a piece of cloth wrapped around the fingers of her left hand.
"I want to make some clothes. I want to buy a pair of all the best coat fabrics in your store!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest's request stunned the female garment worker. The Taoist priest's request was really special. Although her garment shop was small, there were many kinds of outer fabrics, and there were hundreds of kinds.
"Taoist priest, I have hundreds of kinds of outerwear fabrics in my shop. Some of them are floral fabrics used by women and children to make dresses. How can these be used to make robes?"
"It doesn't matter, I'll make a robe from the flower cloth for the poor Taoist, just like the narrow-sleeved Taoist robe. The clothes I've worn in the past few years have been too plain, and the poor Taoist also wants to change his style!"
The female boss was speechless for a moment. If you calculate it this way, this Taoist priest has a big business. He has to make hundreds of narrow-sleeved Taoist robes at a time.
"Then let me measure the size for the Taoist priest first!"
The female boss took the measurements while recording them. She quickly measured the measurements and calculated the total price of all the clothes.
"Taoist Master, please pay a deposit of ten pieces of immortal crystals first, and I can arrange for someone to make the clothes now!"
The middle-aged Taoist priest took out ten fairy crystal stones and put them on the table, and said, "Let's make the flower cloth first. I want to wear it tomorrow!"
"The Taoist priest can come and pick up two pieces in the afternoon. There are three or four female garment workers in my shop who can make ten pieces of clothes every day!"
"Okay, Pindao will come back in the afternoon. Pindao has something he wants to ask about, is it okay?"
"If you have any questions, Taoist Priest, just ask!"
"I would like to ask, where is the busiest place in Wudong City?"
"Wanxian Tea House is naturally the busiest in the morning, where news gathers. The busiest place at noon and evening is Qunxian Restaurant of the Ximen Family. At this time every day, lots are drawn outside the restaurant to decide who can drink Zuishengjiu.
!”
The middle-aged Taoist priest thanked the female boss and went out for a stroll.
Seeing the middle-aged Taoist priest holding candied haws in his hand and walking away while eating, the female owner of the clothing store felt that this Taoist priest was somewhat unseemly. He actually wanted to wear such a gorgeous floral robe.
The next morning, when the sky was slightly bright, a very bold tea guest came to the Wanxian Teahouse. He was dressed in a gorgeous floral preaching robe, carrying a three-foot long sword behind his back, and hanging on his waist was an immortal gold wine gourd.
A bunch of rock candy.
The originally bustling teahouse suddenly fell silent, as everyone looked at the priest in the flowered sermon robe.
"Xiao Er, bring a pot of fairy tea to moisten your mouth!"
After coming here for a while, the waiter holding the copper kettle of boiling water came back to his senses.
"The fairy tea will be here soon!"
"Fortunately, Taoist Master just drank a bowl of bean juice, otherwise I would have been the first tea customer to die of thirst in Qunxian Restaurant, so stupid!"
"Hey, tea will be served soon!"
The teahouse burst into laughter. No one asked for any information, and everyone began to inquire about the middle-aged Taoist priest.
"This Taoist priest has been here in Wudong City for about a month. He wanders on the streets every day and bargains when buying things. He is so ruthless! A piece of fairy crystal stone has a hundred skewers of candied haws, but he can buy fifteen or ten skewers.
In just a few days, he bought 50,000 to 60,000 skewers of candied haws, which has made the price of candied haws go up. A piece of fairy crystal can only buy 80 skewers!"
A white-bearded tea-goer knew this very well. He had to buy candied haws for his grandchildren almost every day, but he actually didn't buy it several times in a row.
"It's nothing. This Taoist priest is too discerning. The quality of the talismans in my shop is a little off. He pointed at my nose and called me a profiteer. In the end, he bought several thousand talismans at half price.
When I calculated the talisman paper, not only did I lose money, but I also added dozens of bottles of Dharma ink! The ice talismans in Wudong City now were basically drawn by him. One piece cost twenty fairy crystals, and there was no need to bargain.
!”
As soon as a business owner finished speaking, a restaurant businessman next to him started laughing.
"Boss Zhao, don't mention it. This Taoist Priest's Ice Talisman is indeed good. His Ice Talisman can be used for more than ten days. My restaurant consumes one ice talisman in almost half a month. Others have the most Ice Talisman.
It only lasts for five or six days, and the price is ten pieces of fairy crystal, so this Taoist Priest’s Ice Talisman is a good deal!”
An old man with white hair came over, reached out and took out a few ice charms from his arms.
"I have been studying his talisman these past few days. His ice talisman is different from others. Not only the talisman, but also the magic and ink have been changed."
Several people took the ice talisman and looked at it, but they all frowned, they couldn't understand.
"This doesn't seem to be a Dao pattern. It has been covered up with a lot of ink and is completely incomprehensible!"
"This talisman paper is indeed from my shop. You see, it has the unique printing of our shop!"
"This Taoist priest looks very simple!"
"Easy? He sold more than two thousand Ice Talismans in less than three days. Restaurants and shops could only buy them. Even the Tian Talisman Sect bought a hundred of them, and the merchants in the Imperial City even used twenty-five Immortal Crystals.
Shi Zhang bought all the remaining ice talismans. Others get the better deal if the quantity is larger, but when it comes to this Taoist priest, it's the other way around. It's even more expensive if the quantity is larger!"
Several people were discussing and looking at the middle-aged Taoist priest in a gorgeous floral robe.
"This Taoist Priest is worth a lot of money. He earned tens of thousands of Immortal Crystals in just a few days!"
A pockmarked middle-aged man dressed as a monk also came over.
"Hey, Zhang Mazi, if you want to take advantage of this Taoist priest, you'd better save it. Anyone who can go out alone has a few brushes. Don't capsize in the gutter. With something like the God-Shaking Thunder, you dare
Make sure he doesn’t have it on him!”
Zhang Mazi's cultivation level was not higher than the Immortal King Realm, but he had some bad friends. He felt his scalp numb when he heard the Heaven-shaking Divine Thunder. That thing could kill the Immortal Emperor Realm, and he didn't want to get into trouble.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I would never dare to mess around in Wudong City! This Taoist Priest is wearing a floral robe, and he looks quite unique!"
Boss Zhao, who owns a restaurant, also feels that this middle-aged Taoist priest is unique.
"This Taoist priest seems to be dressed in a different way and is very coquettish. Thinking about it from another angle, he came out of the Wanxian Tea House today. How many people in Wudong City don't know about him? I heard that the Qunxian Restaurant of the Ximen Family is also
I ordered a thousand ice talismans from him. He has attracted the attention of the wealthy family. If you, Zhang Mazi, get tired of living, you can make trouble for this Taoist priest!"
Zhang Mazi's heart was beating fast. He was not tired of living yet, so naturally he did not dare to cause trouble to the Taoist priest.
"This Taoist Priest has now become a famous figure in Wudong City, and I don't know how many people are paying attention to him. I, Zhang Mazi, admire and worship him with all my heart!"
Most of the people sitting here knew that Zhang Mazi was not a good person. As everyone continued chatting, they saw that the preacher Hua had already drank half a pot of tea, and threw two fairy crystal stones on the table, ready to
To be continued...
