Chapter 2661 Experience life in the world of immortality
Xuan Shao and Yan Shaorao were used to seeing airplanes and large naval ships in modern society, but when they saw the ships in the harbor, they were as dazzled as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
When Brother Yan lamented the liveliness of the harbor pier, Master Xuan used his principle of diligence and inquiring: "Wasn't this place so lively before?"
Yan Zhen told the truth: "Most of the islands in southern Hokuriku are divided into rainy and cool seasons, or rainy, hot or dry seasons. The seasonal distinction in this area is not obvious, but due to the influence of southeasterly winds in February and March every year, it rains more Due to the fog, most fishing teams do not go to sea. It is the off-season for sea fishing.
It was the end of February when I went to sea. Most of the people coming and going in the harbor were long-distance merchant ships. The fishing and gathering teams in the offshore were in a rest period, so the harbor was not so lively. ”
Xuan Shao understands that during the season when people don’t go to sea, the pier is naturally quiet.
Classmate Le Xiao let the spirit boat move slowly until it landed on a trestle, flew onto the trestle, and then collected the spirit boat.
The four of them walked slowly, and the three hidden beasts quietly poked their heads out of their sleeves to watch.
Young Master Xuan and Young Master were calm at first, until two of the people walking towards him had a pair of bull's ears, and they were so shocked that their pupils turned into bells.
Little Loli once said that there are various races in the spirit world, including those with animal body and human face or human face and animal body, as well as half-demon hybrids of humans and animals.
At that time, they heard it as if they were watching "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" when they were young. They thought it was a fairy tale. Now, the half-demon with animal ears and body was right in front of them.
When the mythical story became reality, the strong impact left the two of them speechless!
People with cow-eared bodies are the hybrids born from the intermarriage between cow monsters and humans. They are generally called cow-beast-human half-demon, because humans have more blood, and only their ears are animal ears.
There are several branches of ox-orcs, one with cow ears and human body, one with cow head and human body, and one with human face and cow body. After each branch intermarry with other races, their characteristics are also diverse.
When Yan Shaoxuan and Shao were stunned with shock, another horse-orc with a horse head and a human body came over. The huge impact hit them, and their eyes almost fell to the ground.
The human race's gaze was too hot. The horse-headed man felt it and looked at the human race.
Le Yun also knew the reason why the horse-headed man looked at him, and apologized to the other party: "Sorry, Your Excellency, it is the first time for my two companions to travel far away. They have little experience and are rude."
"No problem." The horse-headed man nodded slightly, accepted the apology and left in a hurry.
Young Master Xuan and Young Master Yan finally recovered from the shock, their faces were burning, they had embarrassed the people on earth!
The two handsome men, who were embarrassed because of their ignorance, felt ashamed and no longer dared to look around, lest the other party misunderstood that they were provoking due to their direct gaze.
It was already past noon, and the sun was shining warmly on the ground. There were people and humanoid beasts walking around in a hurry, and there were also people or many demonic beasts squatting in animal-like bodies on the stalls or laying down on a chair in front of the shop, basking in the sun.
Young Master Xuan: "..." If they didn't know that they were in the spiritual world, they would have thought they were walking on the streets of a Southeast Asian country where the pace of life was slow.
Most of the shops and street vendors in the market do not shout. They just hang a cloth banner to write down what they are buying and what they are selling.
The same is true for ships moored in the harbor. Posts are erected on the ships and cloth flags are hung to indicate the types of items being sold or purchased. If you want to buy or sell, you can go on board to talk.
The transactions on the ship are basically large orders, and the amount of spiritual stones traded is tens of thousands. Small transactions are all done through shops or individual transactions at street stalls.
The street stalls are placed right in front of the shops. As long as the stall owners don't block other people's doorways and cover up the owner's signboard, the shopkeepers won't argue.
In the seaport, the theme of free economic system and harmonious common development is presented, and inclusiveness, autonomy and freedom are also fully reflected.
The environment of the seaport is very relaxing. Therefore, the Xianrenwang Seaport in the west of the Northern Continent is the most famous free trade port in the Yunlan Spiritual World. Seaports in other parts of the mainland cannot imitate it even if they want to.
The buildings in Fangshi are generally of the courtyard type with two entrances. The houses facing the street in the outer courtyard are shops, and the second courtyard is used as a residence or warehouse. In some areas, the houses are of three or four entrances.
No matter how many times you enter, the side facing the street is full of shops. The owners of some shops are doing seasonal business. They are closed in the off-season and open in the peak season.
There are also shop owners who have gone out to collect goods and have not returned, so they are temporarily closed.
On the streets of Fangshi, you can see shops or vendors doing business with various ethnic groups everywhere, greeting each other, and the atmosphere is good. Even if there are some who are red-faced or expressing their opinions, they will not get into fights.
Le Xiaololi happily went shopping with the three handsome men to learn about the market conditions.
Because of the freedom of the seaport, there is no need to inquire deliberately. You can hear the selling prices and purchase prices of certain items while walking on the street. It is truly a no-brainer.
Young Master Xuan Shaoyan finally understood why little Lolita had a special liking for pistachio-like fruit shells. Not only were they delicious, they were also a best-seller!
The purchase price of white fruit shells at the seaport is one spiritual stone per catty. After processing, for example, they are fried and sold on the street for two spiritual stones per catty. In restaurants, they are more expensive, five spiritual stones per plate.
It is said that in inland areas far away from the ocean, there is no processing of fruit shells. As the distance from the ocean gets further and further, the price becomes more and more expensive, and the most expensive one can sell for fifty yuan of spiritual stones per pound.
It’s a huge profit!
Xuan Shaoyan calculated the number of fruit shells shared by them and the three Nascent Soul monsters, and his heart beat faster. They still had about two million kilograms of fruit shells in stock!
Each of them has a portion in his hand, which is nearly one million catties.
So, they... are actually all small rich people?
Instantly, the two young men felt that what they were carrying in their pockets was not fruit shells, but white spirit stones, and their waists could not help but straighten up.
They didn't dare to calculate how many fruit shells she had and how many spiritual stones she could exchange for the little Loli. They were afraid that the calculated results would scare them out.
Classmate Le Xiao secretly collected price information of various items, bought a lot of roasted seeds and nuts, and tasted them while walking with three handsome men. The shops or vendors in the seaport are all monks, and they are at least in the middle stage of Qi refining. Monks in the early stage of Qi refining are not willing to work in the seaport, and others will not accept them.
If there are any mortals or beasts, they must be passing through or in transit.
Because they are all monks, the food and ingredients sold in restaurants, restaurants or on the streets have a certain spiritual energy, otherwise no one would buy it.
Roasted seeds and nuts are mostly made from seashells and plant fruits, made with spiritual plants, and have a full color and taste.
Little Lolita and Xuan Shaoyan ate with gusto, while Yan Zhen was in a complicated mood. Brother Xuan himself was a spiritual meal master, and the spiritual meals he made were full of spiritual energy and delicious. He still cared about street snacks?
What was even more incredible was the little fairy. He had never eaten the spiritual meal made by the little fairy, but he got a few fruit shells fried by the little fairy from Brother Yan Xuan. He personally felt that the little fairy was accomplished in the spiritual meal. Today's preachers can only look back on their backs.
The little fairy who makes such delicious fruit shells is actually more enthusiastic about Fangshi snacks than anyone else, buying a dozen or even dozens of them every time.
Yan Zhen didn't understand why the little fairy and the two monks were in such good moods, but he secretly felt sorry for the little fairy's spirit stone.
Le Xiao’s classmates don’t feel sorry for the spiritual stones. Most of the snacks sold in Haigangfang Market are delicious seafood or nuts that are not of the highest quality. The spiritual energy contained in them is not particularly strong and can be eaten by ordinary people. They can be taken back to their hometowns to give their families a try.
They walked around and observed all the way until it got dark and the group walked into the restaurant.
The spiritual meals offered by restaurants are highly priced, and any low-priced monk with a little more money can afford a few spiritual meals. People come and go, and business is very booming.
The little Lolita and three handsome men happened to be sitting at the same table. The waiter was a monk in the early stages of foundation establishment. He could manage ten tables by himself and still be able to take care of both.
When you order food at a restaurant, you pay the spiritual stone when you order, and you can leave at any time after eating.
Little Loli ordered some shellfish, Xuan Shao was curious about a first-order seafood called sea pork, and ordered one, Yan Shao ordered shrimps, and Yan Zhi ordered one first-order spiritual seaweed.
The little Loli ordered a portion from the store and asked the store owner to pack three portions.
After making an appointment for a cup of tea, the dishes were delivered. They were all loaded in basins with a diameter of more than a foot and a wide portion.
After they finished eating, the packaged portions were also delivered, packed in wooden food boxes, and the wooden boxes were sealed with spiritual talismans to prevent the spiritual energy from escaping.
Food boxes and seals are given free of charge.
The little Loli transferred the packed items from the storage bag to her own storage space, and handed the storage bag and spirit stones to the waiter.
Coming out of the restaurant, night has enveloped the harbor, and stars are twinkling on the sky.
The buildings in the city are in a U-shape with bright lights. Most of the boats parked on the bay also have lights, forming a U-shape.
The lights on the city and the sea complement each other.
The hustle and bustle of the day is gone, and the harbor is quiet and beautiful at night.
Most of the vendors have closed their stalls, and there are only a few vendors with mobile stalls who, in order to save money, find unopened or closed shops as a place to stay overnight.
The phenomenon of night camping on the streets is very common in the harbor, and no one cares about it.
Young Master Xuan Shaoyan also wanted to sleep on the street. Living in an inn was really expensive. One person in an ordinary ten-person guest room would have ten spirit stones. A two-person room in a medium-sized room would cost twenty spirit stones per person. A room in a superior room would cost one person. Fifty spirit stones.
They had a meal at the restaurant, which cost three hundred and thirty spiritual stones, not counting the takeaway portion.
Going out is simply too expensive.
What should two handsome guys do if they want to sleep on the street? Of course it’s to help them!
Le Xiaololi had no psychological burden, so she and the handsome guys found a roof in front of a shop that was closed during the day, and took up space to make camp.
With a place to rest, I tucked the Ruyi House into my sleeves, stuffed the white sounds, eagle sounds, and vine fruits into my sleeves, and gave them the packed food so they could taste it slowly.
The three humanoid beasts hid in the Ruyi room, had a good meal, wiped their mouths, and then quietly hid in the sleeves of the adult and the two male cultivators.
The little fairy wants to experience life, so Yan Zhen also sacrifices his life to accompany the gentleman and sleep on the street with him.
The vendors who slept on the eaves got up at dawn and spread the floor to occupy their stalls, then washed themselves and ate the dry food they had prepared.
The little Lolita and her group went to a restaurant to have breakfast and then go shopping.
The four of them went shopping during the day and slept in the open at night. They spent several days measuring the U-shaped Haigangfang Market with their feet. Then, the little loli started purchasing mode.
When she went shopping, she always boarded ships with banners hanging for sale, trading unqualified seafood, monster meat, beast meat, low-level spiritual plants and various ores, and sometimes some fruit shells.
Because Little Loli has a strong purchasing power, the merchant ship owners who have done business with her feel that doing business with her is the most cost-effective and easiest. They exchange news, and many casual cultivators and ship owners also bring goods to her.
