Several foundation builders said they wanted to go back and ask their elders, and invited Zhan Changfeng to go sit with them in the village.
Xinjia Village is located in a valley, with green trees covering white walls and black tiles. A stone road passes through the houses and leads quietly into the forest.
Zhan Changfeng sat in a house for a while. After a while, the host ushered a middle-aged monk in and introduced her, "This is our village chief."
"Fellow Taoist, you're polite." Xinguang first heard that someone came to look for Xin Shi'an, and said that he could buy spiritual food that the villagers couldn't sell at ten times the price, so he quickly came to take a look.
He looked at Zhan Changfeng and asked suspiciously, "Fellow Taoist, are you here to see Master Ten?"
"If the ten men mentioned by the village chief are the new Shi'an and the new seniors, then that's it."
"Yeah." Xinguang twirled his beard and nodded to himself. Er'er asked again, "Is your family related to the Tenth Grand Master?"
Zhan Changfeng recalled Ling Weichu's words and said, "I owe him a favor."
Ling Weichu said that when he was on the run, Xin Shi'an went to Fu Linmen to make a fuss for him, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he owed him a favor.
"Well, the tenth uncle has moved out a long time ago. There is no news about him in the village. If you insist, I can introduce you to some of his sisters. They should know where he went." Xinguang said first.
, rubbed his hands honestly, "Is the purchase of spiritual grains at ten times the price that fellow Taoist said is true?"
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow." Zhan Changfeng smiled lightly, "My old man has not had many friends in his life and has encountered many ups and downs. Only Senior Xin helped him. I know that Senior Xin may not be here anymore, but there is no way to find him.
There is no way to repay this favor, so I can only express my gratitude in this way."
Xinguang Xian originally just wanted to test her. After all, with Mr. Shi's temperament, it was unlikely that he would have friends or help anyone. Maybe she had an ulterior motive.
But when I heard that her old man had no friends, it was the tenth son who took the initiative to help, and he somehow believed her.
"Hey, all the spiritual food in our village has been ordered, but there is a batch of spiritual vegetables that cannot be sold. If we can't find a buyer, they will rot in the ground. We are so worried that our heads will turn white. If you are willing to help, fellow Taoist friends,
I don’t ask for ten times the price, I just want to sell it to you at a 50% discount based on last year’s market price.”
"Of course." Zhan Changfeng didn't hesitate at all, as if he was just trying to help, "Has the price of spiritual vegetables dropped this year?"
"Don't mention it. In the past few years, Beizhao and Nanfeng were not at peace. During the turmoil, the demand for spiritual food increased. Most of the spiritual food we have here has been shipped there. The original four yuan
A pound of black spirit rice from Pinlingshi was sold to 11 yuan a pound, and a pound of jade jade cabbage was sold to 9 yuan a pound. Everyone was busy reclaiming forest land and planting it like crazy."
Xinguang sighed first, "Although I knew that when things gradually stabilized over there, purchases would decrease and prices would drop. I asked the villagers to gradually reduce production in advance, but I didn't expect it would drop so quickly. The spiritual food aspect was not bad.
I dropped a few spiritual stones, but they were all sold, but the spiritual vegetables were not so lucky."
"Compared with spiritual food, which ripens once a year, or every two or three years, most spiritual vegetables ripen once every few months, with a short growth cycle. You can supply spiritual vegetables by growing them yourself, and you don't need to come to us.
We purchase large quantities here, but unfortunately we cannot sell the spiritual vegetables we have hoarded, alas."
"If fellow Taoist is willing to buy it, I would be very grateful." Xinguang Xian hoped that Zhan Changfeng would have other motives, otherwise he would be suspected of taking advantage of others, which would make him uneasy.
"Can Taoist friends digest these spiritual vegetables?" If they are spoiled even if they are taken back, it is better not to sell them.
"How many spiritual vegetables do you have?" Zhan Changfeng asked.
Xinguang Xian was solemn, "We mainly grow jade cabbage and red konjac here, which is conservatively estimated to be more than 200,000 catties."
"Yes, the village chief can buy it for me."
Xinguang was overjoyed, "Okay, okay, I guarantee that the vegetables here are all fresh and juicy."
"Oh, by the way, fellow Taoist, please rest for a while. I'll go to the aunts to inform you." He happily said to the farmer next to him, "Daniu, entertain your distinguished guests well!"
"Hey, good!"
There were already several plates of spiritual fruits on the table. Xin Daniu rubbed his hands and went to get a few more plates. He also picked a few fresh spiritual vegetables and said cheerfully, "I only grow spiritual food, not vegetables.
I just went to pick these from other fields. Look, the vegetables we grow here are not bad!"
"It's not bad." Zhan Changfeng picked up a green jade cabbage, "Do you have any cold-resistant vegetables here?"
"Red-heart konjac, this thing is the best to plant, it will survive if you water it." Xin Daniu said eagerly, "I will ask the village chief to bring you some more seeds. You can take them back and let others plant them."
"Thank you." There is a shortage of spiritual food and vegetables in the icy wasteland, so it's okay to stock up on some.
Three moments later, Xinguang came back first. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Fellow Taoist, my aunts would like to see you, please come with me."
On the way, he revealed to Zhan Changfeng that his tenth uncle's branch had ten brothers and sisters. There were nine sisters before the tenth uncle, and a clothing store was opened by those nine sisters.
However, the ten members of this sect all have high status in cultivation. They live in seclusion on weekdays, and the shop only allows the clerks to come forward. Except for a few of them who are related to each other, no one can see them. The younger generation
Don't even know they exist.
Leaving Xinjia Village, we walked along the mountain road until we came to a big banyan tree.
He said to Zhan Changfeng again, "Fellow Taoist, enter on your own. I'll go back to collect spiritual vegetables first."
"Go well."
Zhan Changfeng stands still and waits.
Not long after, the big banyan tree trembled slightly, and its thousands of hanging roots moved frivolously, forming a courtyard with a message: New Residence.
This is actually a cave.
The cave sky is a small space connected to the main star realm, and is often a good place for cultivation.
Zhan Changfeng thought about it carefully. It was difficult to subdue these monks who were rich and wealthy. She could at most ask Xin Shi'an to come forward to refine a few high-quality treasures, or make friends with them, but not allow them to join.
Day tribe.
After thinking about it like this, she felt calm and walked into the cave with a purely visiting mentality.
There are mulberry trees standing in the cave sky, and there are celestial silkworms lying on the green leaves. These celestial silkworms are a bit special, they seem to have no body, just like small clouds.
They almost cover the mulberry forest, and from a distance, they look like a large cloud.
Walking further inside, Zhan Changfeng saw that the leaves of several mulberry trees had been eaten away, and cocoons were hanging on the branches, with numerous "fruits".
A burst of charming laughter came from far away, and I saw nine slim and beautiful beauties in colorful clothes carrying bamboo baskets and dancing gracefully.
"Are you the one who wants to see Shi'an?"
"Where do you live?"
"You are so handsome, but you just need a piece of clothing that I knitted."
Before Zhan Changfeng could open his mouth, he was surrounded by nine people. They said something to each other, with smiles in his eyes and a faint fragrance floating around.
