It snowed heavily in Lijing again at night, and the dense snowflakes pressed down overwhelmingly. Overnight, the snow outside had piled up to knee high.
In the morning, the heavy snow stopped slightly, and there were many more snow collectors on the streets of Lijing.
In groups of two and three, they held magical instruments and shouted on the street, asking residents in residential areas to shovel the snow outside their homes. They would then melt the snow into water using magical instruments and drain it into underground sewers.
Yang Zhao handed today's portion of Xiaodouren to his three clerks, and gave each of them a tael of silver as a severe cold allowance.
To be honest, she didn't know what these little people were doing as they walked up and down the street every day, but they always had something to do.
Then Yang Zhao came to the Northern Zhou United Chamber of Commerce, which was as famous as Xinglou. It was jointly founded by large merchants from many places.
If Xinglou is a local household in Lijing, then the United Chamber of Commerce of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is a dragon from other places.
Many businesses have joined forces to compete for a place in Lijing's business circle.
Compared with Xinglou, the Northern Zhou United Chamber of Commerce has a larger sitting area, and the door is more than three meters high.
The goods inside are more comprehensive, including high and low-end goods.
As soon as she arrived at the door, the store clerk warmly invited her in and asked her what she wanted.
"I want to buy a sea-fixing orb and a heart-protecting magic weapon."
As soon as the boy heard her request, he smiled and invited her to sit in the corner.
"Although there is no ready-made magic weapon for protecting the heart, it is still simple. If you place an order with us, a refiner will take the order and help you refine it."
"It's just that the matter of Dinghai Baozhu is a bit difficult, so you have to let me go and inquire about it."
Yang Zhao thought for a while: "Then let's make a list for refining the magic weapon first!"
This time, the smile on the little guy's face became even more enthusiastic.
Now that he signs this order, the commission will naturally be his.
"Don't worry, our chamber of commerce has cooperation with Yiyi Qingzhoufang, the third-ranked magic weapon workshop in Lijing. Orders from us will definitely be done on an expedited basis."
The boy quickly brought the pen and paper over and asked Yang Zhao's request while writing.
"That magic weapon is meant to open up the pulse of a 70-year-old man, so it needs to be gentler, and the magic weapon must be able to be used in inert spiritual energy."
The boy wrote all her requests on paper, showed it to Yang Zhao and then sent it out.
"Guest, please wait a moment and Qingzhoufang will reply to you. I will invite a worshipper to you and ask him if he knows about the Dinghai Pearl."
The boy served Yang Zhao tea and went upstairs to find someone to worship him.
The worshiper was a middle-aged man in his 30s. His short beard was neatly trimmed by him, and he was wearing a piece of money and wealth clothing.
He was led over by the boy, pulled up a chair and sat down.
"My surname is Zhang. Are you interested in the Dinghai Pearl?"
Yang Zhao nodded: "Yes, I want to buy one in the near future. I wonder if your Chamber of Commerce has any stock."
Zhang Gongfeng shook his head regretfully.
"Guest, you also know that the Dinghai Orb is basically bought as soon as it lands on the beach, and our Chamber of Commerce does not have any stock. If you have time, you can wait, and we will help you search for it from the seaside, but we can't say the time."
Yang Zhao felt that there was something in his words.
"I'm just waiting for it. Can you see if there is any other way?"
Zhang Gongfeng suddenly asked a digression.
"How old are you this year? What is your level of cultivation? Are you studying at a government school?"
"Forehead……"
Zhang Gongfeng: "Guest, please don't misunderstand me. There is a reason why I ask this. There is a possibility that the Dinghai Pearl will appear in the near future. I just want to ask, can your age match?"
Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Twenty-two years old, foundation building stage, I am not from this world. What do you want to ask about these things?"
Zhang Gongfeng nodded with satisfaction: "You are quite suitable for your age. Do you know that in a few days there will be the joint entrance examination for prefecture-level universities?"
"I've heard about it. Does this matter have anything to do with the Dinghai Orb?"
Yang Zhao actually didn't know about this, but she couldn't tell it directly. It seemed that she was ignorant and easily looked down upon.
Zhang Gongfeng knocked on the table, and the boy standing next to him turned around and left.
"You also know that our chamber of commerce is a joint effort of several commercial banks. One of them made an order and said that in order to get a good ranking in the joint entrance examination, their university specially prepared some money and treasures to recruit several people. A young man in the foundation-building stage temporarily joined the academy, and I remember that there was a Dinghai Pearl among them."
What he said was a bit awkward. Yang Zhao thought about it before he realized that the school wanted to invite foreign aid.
This is similar to how some schools use scholarships to recruit good students to increase their enrollment rates.
"Logically speaking, this should be easy to recruit. Why is it my turn? Besides, doesn't the government school not recruit people from other worlds?"
At this time, the boy also brought two plates of tea, and Zhang Gongfeng picked up the teapot and poured Yang Zhao a cup.
"Guest, please don't belittle yourself. Although there are many young talents like you, most of them are studying in various schools, and there are not many outside. As for the rules of the schools..."
Zhang Gongfeng poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"They are recruiting students temporarily. After you pass the joint entrance examination, you will no longer be a student of a government school. This is what every government school does. No one will cling to this point."
em………
It seems that there are people taking advantage of loopholes everywhere, and even state-funded schools have to break the rules for the sake of academic performance.
Yang Zhao thought about it and felt that this matter would be more helpful to her. At least she could get in touch with Fu Xue from another angle.
In the past, she had only gone to the government school to collect gadgets invented by students.
"If I agree to join, can I get the Dinghai Orb first?"
"This matter depends on your ability. If you satisfy the teachers in the mansion, then this Dinghai Pearl can naturally be given to you first."
On the other hand, if the teacher is dissatisfied, they will not let her take part in the joint examination.
"Okay, when can I get in touch with the teacher from that private school?"
Zhang Gongfeng took another sip of tea in the cup and casually ordered the boy standing next to him.
"Go and invite Bai Zongfang from Yunzhou Baili Trading Company."
The little guy walked out of the hall in a hurry.
Zhang Gongfeng pointed to the two plates of dim sum on the table and introduced them to Yang Zhao.
"Guests, let's have tea first. Although the tea we use in our building is not good, it is produced in Hongfeng. We also ordered these snacks from Ruijin Building. They are sweet and not greasy. Please try and see if they suit your taste. ?”
Yang Zhao picked up a piece of tea and sipped it into his mouth. After a while, he praised it.
"The dim sum goes well with the tea, and it really has a unique taste."
See you in the next chapter at noon tomorrow. I have something to do and I have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow.
