Ye Changsheng introduced the various sales and acquisition businesses of the grocery store to Lai Changtian. In fact, a person like Lai Changtian who receives store protection fees all year round is familiar with opening a store. Ye Changsheng explained it a little, and he roughly knew what was going on.
Ye Changsheng's store is different from other grocery stores. The first is the membership system, but the membership system is easy to understand and not too difficult to operate. The second difference is that Ye Changsheng will buy some messy things, and the valuation of these things is a problem. Lai Changtian has been in the cultivation world for many years, and his knowledge is not bad, so he can be assured of the acquisition.
Anyway, in the acquisition, you only need to grasp a principle, the good is good, the good is normal, and the normal is bad.
The two sisters are called Yuan Yunwen and the younger sister is Yuan Yunyu. The names are quite nice. The two sisters are both very introverted and shy, and they speak softly.
However, the two girls were able to cultivate to the third level of Qi practice within a few years under Lai Changtian's care. They were also smart people, so they quickly learned about everything in the shop.
And to be honest, with sufficient supply of goods and customers, it is not difficult to open a grocery store.
Because the grocery store has not opened for a year, it has become a mess, and things are littered everywhere, in a mess. When the two women saw this, they were very smart and started to clean up.
Lai Changtian was very satisfied with the eyes of the two girls, nodded and said, "How about the boss, they are both quite capable."
Ye Changsheng smiled and nodded.
Not long after, Han Gouzu had finished inquiring about the news and ran back.
It turned out that a small courtyard several dozen feet away from here was idle at this time, and the owner of the courtyard gave a price that was not excessive, one hundred and fifty intermediate-level spirit stones.
Ye Changsheng had passed by the small courtyard before and knew the situation, so he went to pay for the spirit stone and bought the courtyard back. Seeing this, the Yuan sisters immediately went to help Ye Changsheng pack up and sort out all kinds of things. Han Gouyi was a little embarrassed, smiled embarrassingly, and joined the ranks of sorting things, but seeing that he made a move, Ye Changsheng knew that he was not the material.
It didn't take long for the second courtyard to be sorted out. Ye Changsheng planned to practice and concoct alchemy in this small courtyard on weekdays, and leave the grocery store to Lai Changtian to handle.
Of course, when Lai Changtian encounters troubles he can't handle, he will naturally take action.
There are never too many well-informed people in Linhai City. In the afternoon, many monks learned that Wan Jiange's attitude towards the Changsheng Grocery Store had changed, so the Changsheng Grocery Store immediately welcomed many customers.
Therefore, for most of the day, the Changsheng Grocery Store, which reopened after half a year, has a very good sound. The ten-day inventory that Ye Changsheng prepared for Lai Changtian was actually consumed in one afternoon, and he also bought a lot of spirit grass and materials. .
Fortunately, although the Yuan sisters are introverted, their hands and feet are still agile, so there is no major problem.
As night fell, Lai Changtian handed a storage bag to Ye Changsheng with a face full of excitement, and said, "I really didn't expect that a small grocery store could make so much money."
Ye Changsheng smiled slightly, opened the storage bag and took a look. In addition to the spiritual stone and the purchased items, there is a jade slip in the storage bag, which records the income and expenditure details of the whole afternoon.
Lai Changtian said: "This is Yuan Yunwen's idea. She said that no matter how busy we are, we must keep a clear record of our income and expenditure. Boss, it's one thing for you to trust me, but it's another thing for me to make things clear. Do not conflict."
Ye Changsheng glanced at Yuan Yunwen approvingly, and a tinge of pink appeared on the shy little girl's face.
A total of 4,000 spirit stones were sold all afternoon, and after the few alchemy costs, the net profit was more than 3,000 spirit stones.
Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "Well done, look at Chang Tian, it is much better to open a store than to hang around. In the future, Yunwen and Yunyu will become familiar with all kinds of affairs. As long as you take care of them a little every day, you will have a lot of spirit stones."
Lai Changtian nodded desperately like a chicken pecking at rice.
Ye Changsheng dragged a thousand spirit stones over and said, "It opened on the first day, and the business was good. You can spend this thousand spirit stones. By the way, Yunwen, if you need it for your practice, you can get 20% off the medicinal herbs in the store. Buy it, but you are not allowed to take out the medicinal herbs for sale in private."
Yuan Yunwen glanced at Ye Changsheng timidly, and said in a low voice, "Yunwen understands, thank you the shopkeeper."
Yuan Yunyu was even more shy than Yuan Yunwen, she just stood there and knew how to twist her white fingers desperately, without saying a word.
Lai Changtian divided the spirit stone into two hundred sisters each, and instructed them to buy some medicinal herbs to speed up their cultivation. He plans to save some of the remaining spirit stones, and no longer spend them all at will.
Today, Ye Changsheng's popular grocery store had a certain impact on him, and it also made him see a glimmer of hope.
If you do this for more than ten years, you may be able to save enough defensive magic weapons to survive the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation.
People are most afraid of losing hope and not seeing the future. It was because it was too difficult to get through the Golden Core Heavenly Tribulation, and Lai Changtian, who had entered the late stage of Foundation Establishment, almost lost his motivation to cultivate. But now, Ye Changsheng gave him a hope, so he had to hold on tight.
A few people chatted for a while, and Lai Changtian and the Yuan sisters returned to the backyard of the grocery store, where they practiced and rested.
On the second day, the Changsheng grocery store was still very popular, but the business was much worse than the first day. The turnover for the whole day was about 5,000 spirit stones.
After five or six days, the income of the grocery store began to stabilize, and the daily turnover was around 4,000 spirit stones.
Lai Changtian, who became serious, stopped fooling around, but focused on the grocery store. At this time, the main business of the grocery store was the medicinal herbs and some spiritual herbs provided by Ye Changsheng, so Lai Changtian went to Wanjiange to discuss the purchase of bulk materials as the chief butler of the Changsheng grocery store.
Perhaps because of Wu Yingun's instructions, Wanjiange was so good at speaking, and promised to provide all kinds of low-end materials and magic weapons to the Changsheng grocery store at a price that was half higher than the purchase price.
Generally speaking, the profit of low-level materials and magic weapons is about 30%, and a large store like Wanjiange can get 40% of the profit. Therefore, when you enter and exit, the Changsheng grocery store takes a big advantage.
It's just that Lai Changtian is not a person who doesn't know what to measure. Wanjiange is happy to eat a little sesame seeds in his fingers, but if he increases the amount of purchases, it will affect the business of Wanjiange.
With this additional business, the daily turnover of Changsheng Grocery Store has increased by nearly a thousand spirit stones.
Ye Changsheng freed up two hours of free time every day, but the more pills sold in the grocery store every day made him have to spend one hour of it for alchemy.
In addition, three or four acres of gourd space has also become a big burden for him. It takes him a lot of time every month to sow and harvest yellow bud rice. It's just that he and the little sparrow are the only ones in the gourd space at this time, but there is no other way.
As for expecting the little sparrow to help him work?
At first, the little guy happily used his sharp claws to dig up the soil in the space, helping Ye Changsheng to turn the ground. After tossing for a few days, it became lazy, and every time Ye Changsheng asked him to help, it just pretended not to hear.
Ye Changsheng couldn't do anything, so he tossed it hard the next time he practiced.
A month later, while Ye Changsheng was harvesting yellow bud rice in the gourd space, a strangely shaped four-wheeled vehicle entered Linhai City from the north gate. The four-wheeled vehicle was about the size of a zhang or so, and it ran like the wind without external force, which was faster than that of ordinary monks in the later stage of foundation building.
After the four-wheeled vehicle entered Linhai City, it went straight to the gate of Jianzong Zongmen, and then stopped at the gate of a quiet courtyard outside the main gate of Jianzong.
The desolate monk jumped out of the four-wheeled vehicle and knocked hard on the gate a few times. After a while, Qin Yinshuang opened the door and said, "sister is inside. Come in."
The desolate cultivator turned around and helped out a person from the four-wheeled vehicle, it was Xia Xihua.
The last time Qin Yinshuang saw Xia Xihua, he looked like a down-and-out middle-aged uncle, but at this time Xia Xihua was haggard, with black hair and beard all white.
It was as if he had grown ten years older in one year.
After a few people entered the main room, they saw Qin Luoshuang sitting cross-legged on a futon.
Xia Xihua cupped her hands and said, "I hope Fairy Luoshuang will not hesitate to take action."
Qin Luoshuang nodded, and waved to Qin Yinshuang and the fallen cultivator to go out.
Qin Yinshuang walked out of the room quickly, while the desolate cultivator hesitated, until Xia Xihua gave him a color, then followed Qin Yinshuang out of the room.
Qin Luoshuang showed a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Do you hate me, fellow Daoist Xia?"
Xia Xihua shook his head and said, "The skills are not as good as others, there is nothing to hate."
Qin Luoshuang said: "Presumably, Fellow Daoist Xia is thinking at this moment, after I heal your wounds, go back to practice hard, and then defeat me to pay for today's shame."
Xia Xihua sighed, but neither admitted nor denied it.
Qin Luoshuang said: "If I were defeated by you that day, the outcome would not be much better than your current situation, so you shouldn't think that Qin Luoshuang's actions were vicious and plotted against you. Even if the disciple was provocative first, I was able to let him go to see the face of fellow Xia Daoist. I also want to let the younger generation know that Jianzong's face is not so easy."
Xia Xihua was silent for a moment. Although he was still upset, he had to admit that what Qin Luoshuang said had some truth.
Qin Luoshuang glanced at him and said no more. A black light shot out from his left eye and swept down from the top of Xia Xihua's head. In an instant, a cloud of cyan light floated from Xia Xihua's body and fell into Qin Yinshuang's right eye, then disappeared.
At the same time, Xia Xihua let out a long groan, a light flashed in the originally dull eyes, the whole person stood up abruptly, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Fairy Luoshuang."
Qin Luoshuang said lightly, "Don't forget your promise."
Xia Xihua's heart sect was furious, but his face remained calm: "Of course I don't dare. If Fairy Luoshuang is dispatched in the future, she only needs to send someone to Saibei to find me."
Qin Luoshuang closed her eyes slightly and nodded noncommittally.
At this time, she did not bring her long sword, and there was no white light flashing between her eyebrows, and Xia Xihua was only six feet away from her, which was the distance where Xia Xihua's long sword was the most powerful and fastest.
And Xia Xihua was treated by Qin Luoshuang, and the strange spiritual power that invaded the wound last time has disappeared. At this time, his spirit returned to normal after years of repression, which was when he was the most powerful.
Because he is a sword cultivator, what he cultivates is not spiritual power, but a sword intent. The strength of his spirit is extremely important for the bonus of sword intent.
Moreover, Qin Luoshuang treated him, presumably his spiritual power and consciousness were lost.
In an instant, an extremely tempting idea hit Xia Xihua's mind.
Only the next moment, he gave up the idea.
Qin Luoshuang is definitely not a fool to be able to achieve today's achievements, and it is impossible for him to make such an obvious mistake.
Xia Xihua put his slightly raised palm down again, cupped his hands honestly, and backed out.
Not long after, the four-wheeled carriage drove out of Linhai City and headed north.
After collecting the yellow bud rice, Ye Changsheng found out that all the five flower buds on the pink tree had turned pure white. He remembered that when he first saw the pink tree that day, the flower buds on it turned from white to pink in a short period of time, and then matured.
It is estimated that these five flower bones are not far from the time of maturity.
Thinking that he bought a lot of low-level materials a few days ago, Ye Changsheng didn't go out to practice at all. Instead, he slowly buried the low-level materials in the soil and glanced at the little pink tree from time to time.
After about half an hour, the flower buds on the top of the tree were the first to mature and turned pink. There is a faint aroma spread from it, which makes people feel drunk.
When he saw this little pink tree blooming that day, there was no such fragrance. Maybe it was because the little pink tree had been beside the two-leaf spirit grass for a long time, and something had changed.
Ye Changsheng stepped forward and picked off the ripe pink flowers. When he turned around, he saw the little sparrow behind him, looking at him eagerly.
The next moment, the little guy jumped up and stood on Ye Changsheng's shoulders, rubbing his head desperately on Ye Changsheng's face, and his black eyes actually showed a gleam of ingratiating light, which looked very funny.
Ye Changsheng touched its head, pointed to the pink flowers and asked, "Want to eat it?"
The little guy nodded desperately, looking impatient.
A smile appeared on Ye Changsheng's face: "If you want to eat, just dig the ground for me now. The land that has just been harvested in the Spirit Valley hasn't been digged yet. You can only eat if you work hard."
The little guy immediately looked confused and stared at him dumbfoundedly, but his glance at the pink flower from time to time betrayed him deeply.
Ye Changsheng was angry and funny, he patted it under the head, and said, "I know you can understand, don't play stupid, go to work quickly."
The little guy was helpless, he flew over aggrievedly, stretched out his sharp claws, and began to turn the ground.
