Chapter 85 Eighty-five: Don’t compete with the flowing water, but compete with the flow.
Si was finally happy.
The long-legged man walked up to Li Sui'an arrogantly, gave him a slightly disgusting look, dropped a bottle of pills, "Let's fight again tomorrow at midnight!"
Then he drifted away.
Li Sui'an felt a bit like he had been raped and was rejected by the woman afterwards.
No, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated. We, the great men, cannot afford to disgrace this man.
I'll kill this piece of shit like you.
If he catches her, he will throw it in her face.
After taking a closer look, what a good guy, it turned out to be a bottle of Tianyuan Soul Gathering Pill, which cost thousands of taels of silver.
Put it away quickly.
So delicious!
A real man can bend and stretch, he can be big and small, and he is not of the same level as her.
The next day.
Li Sui'an went to see Uncle Fu.
Uncle Fu has recovered well, at least his mental state is much stronger than before.
Li Sui'an crushed a Guiyuan Pill, fearing that it would not be replenished, so he could only eat half a pill with water.
I chatted with him about business arrangements for a while.
According to Li Sui'an's intention, it was necessary to clean up the messy businesses in the family that were involved in various businesses but could not form a large scale, such as the silk shop on Silk Street, the grain, oil and rice shop in the West Market, etc.
These will be sold if they can be sold, and some footwear shops with lower profits in remote areas have also been transferred. For the time being, only Ruyifang and a few self-operated restaurants and footwear shops with good business are retained.
Some houses that were either vacant or rented were all sold.
If the market is good now, you can still sell it at a good price.
This move can also draw back some of the increasingly scarce capital flows.
A rough estimate is that at least 50,000 taels of silver must be withdrawn.
There are too many servants in the mansion and not many people at home. He usually needs so many people to take care of him.
Therefore, the number of people in the family must be reduced. Those servants who have signed the deeds of sale can all be returned to the deeds of sale, and their civilian status can be returned. They can be given housing expenses and allowed to make a living on their own. In the end, no more than ten people will be left.
If you are unwilling to leave, you can also change your position as a free citizen and go to work in the Dongcheng Brewery.
Fu Qingnian listened quietly to his arrangements, with a worried look on his face, "Master, don't we have a lantern holder to help us, are we already in this position? Master, the Xu family is powerful, you can't take risks. If it's true,
If it doesn’t work, let’s just give up the brewing business.”
He guessed that Li Sui'an arranged this to prepare a way out.
Either Li Sui'an is going to make a big move soon, or the enemy is about to make a big move.
Li Sui'an comforted him and said, "You don't have to think too much. I don't take the Xu family seriously."
"It's just a matter of preparing for a rainy day and making some preparations. In everything, consider victory before defeat, and the most important thing is people. As long as people are still there, even if they are lost now, they still retain the fire for a comeback in the future, and they may not be unable to have them again."
The Xu family only made a few small moves, which would not cause any harm to him. Instead, they revealed that the other party was actually at his wits end and resorted to such ruthless means.
The running water does not compete to be first, but it competes to keep flowing.
Let him be arrogant for a few days.
Now that he has made a decision, Fu Qingnian can only cooperate with Li Sui'an to make arrangements.
The two discussed many details, and then Li Sui'an left first.
The remaining half of the Guiyuan Pill should not be wasted, as it is so cheap.
Narcissus took very good care of her. After more than half a month of feeding, her bones were no longer so soft and she could even stagger a few steps on her own.
Li Sui'an crushed the Guiyuan Pill into powder and fed it with the animal's milk.
"Awww~"
After licking it softly for a few times, I screamed with excitement.
"Why are you howling? Hurry up and grow up. If you gain more weight, I will kill you for meat."
The deer was gnawing on the pig's trotters behind his butt, making his face shiny with oil. Hearing this, his eyes widened and he almost forgot to eat the meat.
"just kidding."
Li Sui'an was afraid of scaring the children, so he smiled and said, "It's so cute, how can you eat it?"
The little deer looked silly and cute, "Master, why don't you eat it anymore? I'm still wondering what the soft meat tastes like. Maybe it has eaten it. It eats and drinks all day without growing any meat. What will happen when it grows up?"
Let’s eat it before it grows up.”
Li Sui'an: "..."
Got~
When it comes to eating, it’s better to live alone.
He lifted the little deer onto his knees and sat down. The little deer opened his little oily hands that had nowhere to rest, hesitated, and wiped a few times on Li Sui'an's clothes.
Li Sui'an had a dark look on his face and threw her to the ground in disgust.
"Little deer, take out your little treasure and show it to me."
"oh."
He took out the pocket bronze lantern from his chest and solemnly put it into Li Sui'an's hand.
As soon as Li Sui'an took it, the lantern ghost showed its facial features and bounced back and forth in his palm, making a "beep" sound.
There was a fluctuation in my mind, and it turned out that it was expressing my gratitude.
Thanks to Li Sui'an for taking care of the fawn and helping it recover.
The sixth-level demon spirits are indeed not simple. Their intelligence alone is beyond the comparison of ordinary demon spirits.
Li Sui'an was also happy in his heart. At least he was a grateful person, so he also sent a message in spirit: "You're welcome. It'll be good if you can recover. When I'm not at home in the future, can you help take care of everyone? At least ensure that no strangers are exposed."
harm."
"Hey~"
The demon spirit agreed.
[Lantern Ghost: Sixth-level demon spirit.
A certain lantern-bearer's contracted soul demon, under the orders of his master, protects his most precious blood relatives. Due to the recent persistence, his strength has now returned to the fourth level.
Spells and skills: Heart Lamp, Hell Fire Bullet, Refining Formation, Lantern Shield, Wanhua Clone.】
Li Sui'an took out a few pieces of Origin Stones of different sizes and handed them to Xiaolu, "These are spiritual food for the little baby. Ask me for them after you finish eating them."
"Thank you, sir."
"Be good, go find Mr. Xu and take lessons."
"Oh~"
The deer ran away in a flash.
...Wait a minute, it seems there is something I forgot to mention.
Forget it, there's no rush.
I sent the deer away, it was still early.
Li Sui'an practiced Kung Fu for a while and developed his magical powers.
[Kongkong] There are two magical skills, instant escape and empty nest. The effect of instant escape seems to be greater, but in fact, empty nest is the core of magical power. Unlike instant escape, developing empty nest skills is not simply about collecting external things.
Put it away, put it away and collect it.
It is necessary to continuously explore the empty nest chaotic space mentally, so the progress is slow.
Fortunately, as his mental strength gradually increased, the development progress of Empty Nest also changed day by day, and it was not far from perfection.
When the sun rose in the sky and the market became more and more lively, he called the steward of the restaurant, made some arrangements and went out in a low-key manner.
Beicheng.
Li Sui'an's figure appeared from a deserted alley, and when he came to Fangshi, he saw the familiar face at a glance.
When the totem warrior of the Dragon Nest Clan saw Li Sui'an, he greeted him politely and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you need anything this time?"
Li Sui'an nodded, "I just need something special, but I don't know if the Dragon Nest clan can get it."
The other party gave him a mysterious look and said, "I understand. You are an expert in this field. As long as the price is high, we at Dragon Nest will definitely do our best."
Li Sui'an: "..."
Afterwards, Li Sui'an obtained a batch of Huajin Grass and Bone Rotting Insects.
"How many times have we met, and I still don't know what to call you?"
"Xuan, your Excellency, just call me Xuan."
"Xuan. No malicious intentions. As far as I know, the Dragon Nest clan only migrated from the Dragon Burial Road to the Northern Ice Plains Road in the past few decades. Your tribe is new to this place. Isn't it easy to settle down?"
Xuan Wenyan's face turned solemn, "Our Dragon Nest Tribe has indeed moved to the North Ice Plains Road. After decades of hard work, our tribe has successfully opened up a new tribe on the North Ice Plains Road and set up camp. But one day
, we will return to our hometown. The glory is still there, and the fire of the dragon's nest will never be extinguished."
As if to prove his determination, the light of his totem flashed away.
The dragon's head is ferocious, and its pair of dragon eyes are full of power.
Li Sui'an felt a huge spiritual power fleeting and was a little surprised. He said seriously: "Xuan. I admire your courage to dare to stay away from your homeland, but building a new tribe will definitely require a lot of basic resources, such as source stones. I
We are also doing business, maybe we can exchange information."
Xuan looked at him seriously for a while and said, "What do you call your Excellency?"
"Just call me Mr. An."
"Mr. An, can you take a look at your goods first?"
Soon, Xuan saw a pile of raw Origin Stones the size of basketballs, and his eyes widened, "Mr. An, how many more Origin Stones do you have like this? Our Dragon Nest Clan is willing to increase the price and eat them all."
"Oh~ how many goods there are, it depends on what price you can pay." Li Sui'an said in a serious tone.
"Mr. An, wait a moment. I'll ask the high priest for instructions first."
After a while, Xuan came back, "30%, we are willing to increase the price by 30%."
"Thirty percent is not enough. Origin Stone is energy and the cornerstone of construction. For the first batch, I can provide at least two thousand kilograms of Origin Stone."
"Only two thousand catties?" Xuan was a little disappointed.
"The first batch." Li Sui'an reminded.
Xuandao: "If they are all Source Stones like this, we can give them 35%."
Li Sui'an thought for a while and said: "Forty percent. If you can produce this kind of raw ore source stone, you should know what it means?"
Xuan Xin said: "If you haven't even removed the stone skin, then you can only master a source stone vein."
Li Sui'an seemed to be sure that the other party would buy it and said: "This kind of pure energy is a necessity for everyone. No big force will push it out of the door. Moreover, except for the exchange channel of the Military Supplies Department, the Darun Government
The trading of Origin Stones is strictly prohibited! If I hadn’t made several transactions with the Dragon Nest Clan and were considered acquaintances, I wouldn’t have approached you this time.”
Xuan Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, deal."
"make a deal!"
Li Sui'an smiled and gave him a high-five and said: "I hope to maintain friendship with the Dragon Nest clan, and may the fire of Dragon Nest never go out."
"The fire of the dragon's nest will never go out."
"Xuan, in addition to buying and selling Origin Stones, I also want to order some special medicinal materials from your tribe..." After saying that, he reported the medicinal materials he needed.
After hearing this, Xuan showed an expression that said I understand: "You also said that you are not an expert in poison."
