He secretly decided to put all the responsibility for this ineffectiveness on Zhao Yanwei. No matter how capable I am, Zhao Yanming, I can't stand Zhao Yanwei's sabotage behind my back, right? The family grocery store had already agreed to sell me yellow bud rice, but they heard that I was from the Zhao family on Lingshi Island, or the brother of Zhao Yanwei, so they doubled the price in anger.
You, Zhao Yanwei, must be responsible for this matter!
Inside the Zhao family on Lingshi Island, the competition between brothers is also very fierce, so when he thought of being able to get himself out of trouble, and to secretly make a note of Zhao Yanwei, a smile appeared on Zhao Yanming's face.
The news soon reached Lingshi Island through some channels, and then a new order was passed down.
Zhao Yanming opened the note with a smile, read it over, and then the smile froze on his face.
The order from Lingshi Island meant that Zhao Yanming should not shirk his responsibility, not be afraid to spend Lingshi, and buy Huang Yami as soon as possible. The yellow bud rice on the island has run out, and dozens of elite disciples are still waiting for the yellow bud rice to cook.
Zhao Yanming felt that his anger was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and a sense of anger rushed into his mind, almost screaming out.
Fortunately, his self-control is still good, and he didn't show any flaws in front of the messenger.
The messenger continued: "In addition to the letterhead, there is also a storage bag, which needs to be opened with your special technique."
The storage bag was naturally used to replenish the spiritual stones for purchasing yellow bud rice. Zhao Yanming took the storage bag feebly, opened it, counted the spiritual stones in it, and waved his hand to signal the messenger to leave. .
The spiritual stones in the bag and his current spiritual stones are enough to buy 10,000 catties of yellow bud rice at the price set by Ye Changsheng.
Zhao Yanming bowed his head and walked to the Changsheng grocery store with a large pen of spirit stones.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the Changsheng grocery store and talked a few words, Lai Changtian told him some very unfortunate news: "Treasurer Ye has just decided that if you come from the Zhao family in Lingshi Island to buy Huangya rice, the price will be doubled. One, four hundred spirit stones and a pound of yellow bud rice, together with the goods of four thousand spirit stones."
Zhao Yanming only felt dark in front of his eyes, and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at Lai Changtian angrily and looked at him with cannibalistic eyes: "You, you are talking nonsense, you lied to me, and the manager Ye clearly agreed to me, two One pound of Bailing Stone."
Lai Changtian looked at him with pity, and said, "That's the price a few days ago. Today, when you come, the price will go up. Manager Ye also said that if you come again next time, the price will be doubled. "
Zhao Yanming was furious and said viciously: "Damn, I really don't buy this Huang Yami anymore, hum."
Saying that, he strode out.
The price of Huang Yami has risen again. The spiritual stones in the storage bag belong to the family. He has no right to use these spiritual stones to buy high-priced materials. Otherwise, he will stare at him every day after returning, for fear that he will not commit crimes. The wrong brothers squinted their mouths, and Zhao Yanming was about to run away.
Even the next time he comes, the price of yellow bud rice may rise to eight hundred spirit stones per pound. That's a family business, not Zhao Yanming's business.
After Zhao Yanming left, Lai Changtian said with a smug look on his face, "Let you rely on the Zhao family on Lingshi Island to be arrogant to the Lord and see if I can't kill you."
Qin Rudan was a little worried, and frowned, "Would it not be good to do this? After all, Lingshi Island still has a lot of power, so it's probably not suitable for such a tossing."
Lai Changtian sneered and said, "Isn't it because there are so few late Jindan monks, they dare to be so arrogant. Last time they wanted to grab the boss's magic weapon, and they did it, although they came to apologize later with spirit stones, But if the person involved didn't come, it's not the end. Besides, Zhao Yanwei is too unreliable to do things. If he doesn't show some color to the Zhao family, they really think that our Changsheng grocery store is easy to bully. Don't worry, since the boss dares to let him If we raise the price for him, then there must be a reason for him."
Qin Rudan said, "Okay."
In fact, she also understands in her heart that Ye Changsheng, who seems to be a gentle person on weekdays, why he has acted so tough in recent years - the calamity of the alchemist is ahead, Ye Changsheng must take the initiative to act, and now he has a hard currency in his hand. Ya Mi, then you have the right to do this. Anyway, the Zhao family is rooted in Lingshi Island. If nothing else, there must be enough Lingshi.
Another important reason is that Huang Yami was not the mainstream auxiliary training supplies in the Xiuxian world in the past few years. Almost all the few spiritual lands in the Daqin Xiuxian world were occupied by large and small sects and forces, planting all kinds of Lingcao.
It was only three or four years ago that the Jellyfish Tiangong began to sell yellow bud rice to the outside world on a large scale, so it was difficult for the sects to free up so much empty spiritual land to grow yellow bud rice in a hurry. What's more, considering the spiritual land occupied and the output effect, yellow bud rice is not superior to spiritual grasses such as Yunling grass.
For example, if a spiritual ground with a radius of one zhang is planted, it is possible to harvest a hundred plants of spiritual herbs within three years, and if it is refined into Qi-tonifying pills, it should be calculated according to the number of thirty-five pills in a furnace. If you can refine 3,500 pieces, and then remove the spirit grass needed for alchemy, it is worth 40,000 spirit stones.
And the same area of spiritual land is planted with yellow bud rice, calculated according to the yield of 500 catties per mu, a square radius of one zhang can produce 12 catties in a year, and it is 40 catties in three years. Only four thousand spirit stones can be sold.
Comparing the two, the production of yellow bud rice is exceptionally insufficient. Even taking into account other factors such as the alchemist's alchemy rate, planting spirit grass is much more cost-effective than growing yellow bud rice.
This is just like Ye Changsheng's previous life's grain and cash crops. The same area of land planted with wheat and rice is far less profitable than growing tobacco, fruits and vegetables. The world will be in chaos.
The same is true for the various sects. Because Zongmen needs yellow bud rice, it must be planted, even if the output is too low, there is no choice.
Moreover, seeing that there is yellow bud rice on the market, if the capacity allows, it must be bought as a strategic reserve. After all, it is the time when Huang Yami has just started to promote, and everyone has insufficient inventory.
In the entire Daqin Xiuxian world, the only one that can continuously supply yellow bud rice, except for the Jellyfish Temple, is the Changsheng grocery store, so the Zhao family on Lingshi Island has no choice.
In fact, most of the people who buy the yellow bud rice from the Changsheng grocery store every day are mostly people from various sects.
Let's say that Zhao Yanming returned to his residence and fed back the words of Changsheng Grocery Store, and then waited for a reply.
A few days later, Zhao Yanguang, the big housekeeper of Lingshi Island, came to Haicheng and planned to handle the matter in person.
The attitude of the Changsheng Grocery Store made Zhao Yanguang extremely worried. If he didn't come in person and let the situation develop, it would be impossible to say that this transaction would be completely impossible.
Simple and Zhao Yanming understand the following incident, Zhao Yanguang is very angry, and his resentment towards Zhao Yanwei has risen to an unprecedented level: You Zhao Yanwei are not self-proclaimed smart and extraordinary, and often preach in the family, saying that I, Zhao Yanguang, are old and confused, I don't know how to do things in a roundabout way, and I only know how to deal with people head-on. Why, this time I caused trouble for the family, so I hid and retreated without saying a word. Hmph, things can't be over like this, I'll take care of you after I buy the yellow bud rice.
Afterwards, he took Zhao Yanming and a few subordinates to the Changsheng Grocery Store quickly and asked to see the shopkeeper Ye of the Changsheng Grocery Store.
Lai Changtian had just sent away a group of cultivators who wanted to buy yellow bud rice in bulk, and was chatting with Qin Rudan when he saw a group of five cultivators from the Jindan period approaching.
One of them was Zhao Yanming, but today he was actually walking at the back, and his face was full of resentment, looking unwilling.
Lai Changtian's heart moved, and he secretly said: "Tsk tsk, the Zhao family is moving really fast, so they sent heavyweights here, who could it be? Well, it looks a bit like Zhao Yanming, no, no, it can't be Zhao Yanguang. Well, this, this is really a big game."
Zhao Yanguang, as the chief steward of the Zhao family, although not the highest in cultivation, is the one who is really in charge of many affairs of the Zhao family. In family affairs, he has more right to speak than the head of the Zhao family. Recently, the Changsheng Grocery Store and Zhao's family are not showing signs, and of course Lai Changtian will inquire about the news of the relevant people.
Walking outside the grocery store, Zhao Yanguang smiled slightly and said, "Zhao Yanguang in Xia Lingshi Island, this must be fellow Daoist Lai Changtian?"
Lai Changtian stood up lazily and said, "It turns out that it's Mr. Zhao who is in charge. He's really a rare visitor, please come in."
It can be said that the relationship between the two sides is not good at this time, so although the other party's status is respected, he does not express any special respect - you Zhao Yanguang is the chief steward of the Zhao family, and I, Lai Changtian, are still the chief steward of the Changsheng Grocery Store, everyone. The status is the same, hehehe.
What kind of person is Zhao Yanguang, who doesn't care about his small actions, walks into the Changsheng grocery store, and straight to the point: "I want to ask the shopkeeper Ye of your store to discuss some things, I wonder if Daoist Lai can help you report it?"
Lai Changtian coughed and said, "This, my Changsheng grocery store manager Ye has always been busy cultivating, and I am directly in charge of some trivial matters. I don't know, what's the important thing for Director Zhao to find the storekeeper Ye?"
Zhao Yanguang became a little angry and thought: "You are a little gangster in Linhai City, don't you dare to be so arrogant in front of me, you really don't know whether to live or die."
It's just that the current situation is stronger than people, and Zhao Yanguang can't tolerate it. He forced a smile from his face and said: "The day before yesterday, my younger brother Yanming came to discuss the purchase of yellow bud rice with your store, and there may be some things that I didn't say. Clearly, it caused some misunderstandings, so I brought him here today and apologized to your shop. In addition, my Lingshi Island has been in great demand for materials in recent years, and the family agreed that the materials, spirit grass and other materials provided by Changsheng Grocery Store Linggu, the price is moderate, so we plan to cooperate with your store for a long time."
When he mentioned the word "lingu", he also paused for a while, which meant that we came to buy Linggu with sincerity, you little bastard, stop pretending, and quickly take Ye Changsheng or Qin Luo Cream please come out.
Lai Changtian coughed, looked left and right, and said, "I'm really sorry, but the few people who visited the store today happened to be absent. There are only two of us in the store. I'm not very good at transaction details, but Rudan is not. Knowing about transactions, he is only responsible for accounting, so, this, is now impossible to walk away."
Zhao Yanguang resisted the anger in his heart, resisted the urge to throw a fireball on Chao Lai Changtian's old face, and forced a smile: "Then, I don't know when the guy in your store will come back? Your husband and wife can't put the groceries first Stop the operation of the store, and then help me to wait for Manager Ye?"
Lai Changtian laughed and said, "Man, today happens to be a two-day break every month. I don't know where they went, but generally speaking, they don't come back until the day after tomorrow."
As for what Zhao Yanguang said, he simply pretended not to hear about asking him to stop the business and ask Ye Changsheng.
Until now, Zhao Yanguang had no choice. I don't know why, Changsheng Grocery Store is making things difficult for me, but I can only stretch my neck and let the other party slash.
It's really frustrating.
However, Zhao Yanming understood what Lai Changtian said, and desperately gave Zhao Yanguang a wink.
That Zhao Yanguang was also a smart person, and when he saw Zhao Yanming's abnormality, he immediately became concerned, looked around at the Changsheng grocery store, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, fellow Daoist Lai, that, yes, that is the one, that box of Yun Lingcao. The piece of fine iron next to it, please show it to me."
With doubts in his heart, Lai Changtian took down the piece of fine iron, put it on the counter, and asked, "Does Mr. Zhao want to buy this?"
Zhao Yanguang said excitedly: "This, this, isn't this the 10,000-year fine iron I've been looking for for a long time? Fellow Daoist Lai, how did you get this 10,000-year fine iron?"
When Lai Changtian thought about it, he immediately understood what Zhao Yanguang meant, hehe smiled and said, "Our shopkeeper Ye went to the Great Kunlun Mountains a few days ago and found a concentrated iron ore vein in the Great Kunlun Mountains. In the distance, he brought back several hundred thousand-year-old iron. Tsk tsk, Mr. Zhao, you really have a good vision, this ten-thousand-year iron has been here for more than ten days, and it is you who have this vision. It recognizes it."
Zhao Yanguang held the fine iron in his hand, his face full of joy: "How many spirit stones does this ten thousand-year fine iron have? I want it."
Lai Changtian and Qin Rudan looked at each other, Lai Changtian tried his best to hold back his laughter, and said solemnly: "Two thousand and two hundred spirit stones can be counted as two thousand spirit stones."
The corners of Zhao Yanguang's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "The price is true, it's not expensive, it's 20 middle-level spirit stones, fellow Daoist Lai, you've got it!"
Lai Changtian took the spirit stone and said, "We still have a lot of hidden goodies in our grocery store. No one can find them on weekdays. It's really a waste of shopkeeper Ye's heart. Fortunately, today's Zhao Da When the steward comes, let the steward Zhao take a look again, and there is nothing left."
Zhao Yanguang burst into tears, and bought a fire crystal and a spirit wood at the price of two thousand spirit stones, and then Lai Changcai smiled and said: "Rudan, I think that Manager Zhao is really looking for shopkeeper Ye, you don't know how to deal. , if someone comes, you can let him wait for a while, and I will be back soon."
