Early in the morning, Zhang Yan came out of the house and saw He Xianghong in the yard looking up at the sky.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, He Xianghong quickly bowed and trotted up to Zhang Yan to salute. Even though his cultivation has reached the early stage of the Hundred Refining Realm, his improvement is really not enough compared to Zhang Yan. Even now, even if Zhang Yan does not deliberately hide his aura, the "Tao" that peacefully blends into nature still makes Zhang Yan soundless. It is difficult to detect He Xianghong's strength anyway.
"Master, this slave is looking at the weather and feels strange."
"strangeness?"
"Yes, Master. It's September now. September is the rainy season every year. Langyuan City is located in the northeast. There may be less rain, but it won't take more than ten days to rain like it has recently, and it won't get cold. On the contrary, it looks very strange like late summer." He Xianghong used to be a bandit. He is very familiar with the characteristics of the weather and seasons. What kind of goods should be transported in which season, and how many people and horses should be allocated. These are his housekeeping skills in the past. Even though I have been to Zhang Mansion for many years now, I still can't change the habit of always paying attention to the weather.
In fact, it's not just He Xianghong. Aren't all the people in the Wild Sky Territory who depend on the sky have their necks raised and are used to looking at God's face to make a living?
Of course, there are also people who live without looking at the weather, or who never look at the weather. For example, Zhang Yan.
Zhang Yan, a man of two generations, has never paid attention to what the weather has in common at the same time of year. His concern is only the simplest "hot and cold" and "sunny and rainy", distinguishing whether there is a drought or a flood, that's all.
Now when I heard what He Xianghong said, I was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Are you saying that the weather this year is very different from previous years?"
"Yes, Master. Nanyuan Kingdom in September should not have such a dry and hot climate. Anyway, this is the first time I have encountered this situation in so many years. I heard that because there is too little rain and the temperature is too high, this year I'm afraid the harvest of autumn fruits will fail." He Xianghong bent down and was not making random guesses. A few days ago, when he accompanied the young lady to the market to purchase, he heard the merchants selling autumn fruits talking about this matter, and all of them looked sad. He clearly remembered the look of helplessness on his face.
The speaker has no intention and the listener has the intention.
Zhang Yan had spent the night refining weapons and came out to get some fresh air, but he didn't expect to hear such a story from He Xianghong. Unlike He Xianghong who "knew nothing", it was easy to think that the cause of the abnormal weather was probably not a natural phenomenon with a low probability of "once in many years", but an abnormal change that was implicated by other reasons.
"Is it such a big change? Find me some books about seasonal weather and put them in my study." Zhang Yan felt that he should also understand these things, and maybe he could figure out something from them.
He Xianghong resigned. Zhang Yan went out after having breakfast. Now my mother went to Xiangkou and said she missed her two grandchildren. I stayed for a few months and waited until the end of the year for Zhang Yan and Zhang Huiyuan to come there as well. Plan to come back in spring.
The Zhang family has developed rapidly, and Zhang Shun is now one of the top wealthy businessmen in Nanyuan Kingdom. The Zhang Family Woodware Shop is not only spread across all the major cities in Nanyuan Kingdom, but also in other countries, Beiwu and Huayue, and even on further trade routes, people also carry the goods of the Zhang Family Woodware Shop.
Zhang Shun put into practice an idea that Zhang Yan had told him before, that is, "What Zhang's Woodware Shop sells is not woodware, but a kind of grade and style. Price? How can the style and grade be shown if the price is low?" ?”
Therefore, except for wheelchairs, which are in the low, medium and high price ranges, the furniture that has become the main product in the Zhangjia Woodware Shop now adopts the "upscale" approach. For the unique hot stamping on the furniture of Zhangji Woodware Shop, some people are willing to pay ten times or hundreds of times the value of the wood itself.
How many rich people are there in the world? How many families are there? There is no place to use the money tickets. The purpose of Zhang's wood shop is to find a nest for the money that has gone nowhere in their hands.
Of course, this is not all Zhang Shun's fault. After all, Shunfeng's business is much less difficult. And the reason why the wind is so smooth is because Zhang Yan, an increasingly towering tree, is supporting it. Not only Nanyuan Kingdom, but also Beiwu and Huayue countries opened their doors to cooperate with Zhang Shun in doing independent business. Who doesn't understand the secret behind it? No one in the Zhang family doesn't understand.
Now Zhang Shun has two children, a son and a daughter. I heard from Zhang Huiyuan that this time her mother was probably planning to persuade her sister-in-law Wang Qin to work harder to give birth to another child for the Zhang family. The Zhang family has such a big business now, and one son and one daughter is not enough. If you can't count on Zhang Yan, you can only count on Zhang Shun.
In fact, according to the wealthy families on the human side of the Wild Sky Territory, if they really want to have many children, how can one head wife be enough? A man's fertility is determined by God, and he has to travel around the world. How many years can he farm no matter how strong his physical strength is? Moreover, a woman’s pregnancy only lasts a year, so she can’t keep giving birth to babies without taking a break, right?
Therefore, concubinage is the fastest way to have more children in a short period of time.
However, neither Wang Lanping nor Zhang Shun had such thoughts so far. Perhaps it was their days in Zhuzui Alley that made them dislike fussing over things, but they were used to cherishing the people and things in front of them.
Zhang Yan kept as far away as possible from the matter of adding an heir to the Zhang family.
In addition, many powerful people asked Zhang Shun to tell him that they hoped to have a pair of limbs like Zhang Shun, both for themselves and for their family members. Zhang Yan ignored him. The main purpose is to make limbs, especially because it is too troublesome to make limbs for ordinary people. It’s enough that Zhang Shun is his eldest brother, what about others? Where did he get such a big face to bother him?
We walked around Langyuan City and even had lunch at a noodle stall on the street.
Now, as long as Zhang Yan doesn't want anyone to pay too much attention to him, he is just a passerby. Even if he passes in front of you, you will subconsciously ignore him. Even Zhang Yan doesn't need to do all this deliberately, he can do it by letting go of all the "principles" he has understood and imprinted on himself.
After eating a bowl of noodles, the familiar taste that had been missing for a long time made Zhang Yan relax a little after he had been struggling for several days. After that, he set up the Skylark Shuttle and returned to the cliff mountain first, went to the newly designated forbidden area, took the Mountain Swallowing Umbrella, and then flew all the way towards the remote place. Until there is a deep valley in Changhu County that is rarely visited all year round and is far away from the cliff mountain.
After using his senses to confirm that there was no one around for miles around, Zhang Yan unfolded the Mountain Swallowing Umbrella and released the Xuanshi Mountain inside.
The huge mountain peak is still there, and the moment it comes out, it is a devastating blow to the surrounding creatures. Trees, flowers, insects, snakes and animals all died one after another. A few miles of land will turn into a dead place within half an hour.
At the same time, the "ball" in the mysterious stone pretended to be dead as always.
After releasing Xuanshi Mountain, Zhang Yan unloaded another magical weapon from the Skylark Shuttle. It was not small in size. It was a rhombus-shaped eight-sided symmetrical structure. It was more than one foot long and six feet wide at the waist. There are many formation patterns engraved on the magic weapon. At the same time, there are a total of ninety-six holes evenly distributed on the surface of this magical artifact.
This thing, Ninety Zhang Yanhui, Langyuan City purchased a large amount of rare minerals to synthesize weapon refining materials, and then combined them with black stone as the main material to finally refine the magical weapon: Snail House.
Doushu means "small house". But it is not lived by Zhang Yan himself, but by the "round ball" in Xuanshi Mountain. This new home not only has various arrays decorated by Zhang Yan, but also has a series of "eating" and "transformation" mechanisms. It is the one that Zhang Yan has put the most thought into refining so far.
Now Zhang Yan wants to invite "Yuanqiu" into this new home.
