Bai Zhi called out "Senior" softly, but received no response.
She squinted and took a closer look. The senior's energy field was extremely weak but still stable. In this case, meteorite extract would definitely be useful. However, Bai Zhi herself only knows two things: bathing and drinking. If she wants to cooperate with this life-saving cabin to treat the old Xu who is only breathing, she probably can only call Hao Xing. But she doesn't want to expose Hao Xing and other friends in front of these people now.
The seeds that Senior Xu gave her last time contained ginseng. Bai Zhi found a jade box and gave it to Su Zhongtai to contain the ginseng grown by watering the meteorite extract.
Su Zhongtai received the jade box and gave it to Uncle Wang. As expected, Uncle Wang knew ginseng. When he opened the lid of the box, he was surprised and said, "Xiao Bai actually has such a good thing."
He used several instruments to test the properties of the medicine and said with certainty: "It is enough to make a powerful healing solution. I will make the medicine now."
Uncle Wang took out a few pieces of equipment and started making medicine on site.
Su Zhongtai asked his eldest son Su Yongan, who had been standing outside the door, to bring some chairs in and invite Bai Zhi and Tan to sit down and reminisce.
"Brother Changqing has a granddaughter, time flies so fast." Su Zhongtai recalled the past with emotion.
The son of the grandfather's brother-in-law is only in his early twenties, and her granddaughter is already two years old. Life is really full of changes. Bai Zhi smiled and nodded in agreement.
Su Zhongtai looked at Bai Zhi with a smile, "How is Brother Changqing?"
"Grandpa passed away several years ago." Bai Zhi made up her mind to hide the period when grandpa went to Earth. She would not tell lies, but she would not be very specific either.
Su Zhongtai sighed for a while and then asked: "How many children does Changqing have? How many brothers and sisters do you have?"
"My father has three brothers. There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters in our generation." Bai Zhi didn't want to be interrogated in a friendly manner, so she turned to attack and asked, "The lady next to you just now is your wife, right?"
Just now Su Zhongtai claimed to be his great-uncle, so Gu Baizhi had the right to ask on behalf of the Gu family who the people around him were.
"Yes. Our Kunwu clan only recognizes endogamy. People like us who marry outsiders without permission are actually no longer Kunwu clan members. Bai Zhi, you don't have to stick to clan rules and call me aunt." Su Zhongtai looked at it. Bai Zhi's face looked very confused, "You look so much like your great-aunt."
"My husband is not Kunwu. Senior, just call me Xiaobai. All my friends outside call me that." Bai Zhi smiled happily. Just because she is willing to save Jiuxu doesn't mean she regards herself as Kunwu. , Su Zhongtai didn't want his children to inherit the Kunwu clan's intraclan marriage, so did she want her children to inherit?
"Okay, then I'll call you Xiaobai!" Su Zhongtai was not surprised that Bai Zhi was married. If Gu Changqing killed the clan leader and left the Kunwu clan, he would not be able to send his descendants back to the family to be controlled by his enemies. He must have arranged the life-long affairs of his descendants before his death and would not give the Kunwu clan a chance.
Tan stood behind Bai Zhi, always acting like a servant.
Mrs. Su, who had been busy walking around outside the door, must have been relieved to be here. She discussed what to have for dinner with her two daughters, and even took away the two little boys. Only Su Yongan stayed, standing quietly behind his father.
Uncle Wang worked hard for half an hour and got a test tube of orange-red medicine and about three liters of green medicine. Su and his son acted as his assistants, injecting the orange-red medicine into Jiu Xu's veins and pouring out the green medicine. Enter the life-support module.
Uncle Wang stood in front of the observation screen and looked at the data for a while, then said, "Senior Xu will be able to wake up in two hours at most unless something unexpected happens."
Su Zhongtai breathed a sigh of relief. Senior Xu's medical expenses were not a small amount and he could still afford them for now. However, since Senior Xu had not woken up all day, he not only had to pay for it but also stayed at home. He still has a wife and children to support, and it is difficult to live a life with only expenses and no income.
Su Zhongtai thanked Uncle Wang again and again.
Uncle Wang said happily: "No need to thank me, it's the ginseng that Xiaobai brought out that is so good as the healing medicine."
After Uncle Wang said this, he gave an angry look. His eldest sister also needed the particularly nourishing ginseng to strengthen the body. He had been looking for it for decades but could not find it. However, Xiaobai had it but gave it to someone else. He felt no wonder. Strong.
Tan received Uncle Wang's signal
There was no reaction at all. He estimated that Bai Zhi must have similar good stuff in his hands. Hunjun, who was jealous of asking for medicine, would definitely be willing to ask Bai Zhi himself. Why was he seeking death now?
Bai Zhi and Su Zhongtai's attention was all on Jiu Xu.
Just for a moment, Jiu Xu's face looked much better, and his energy field was slowly but continuously increasing. Bai Zhi estimated that the senior could recover without her taking the risk of adding meteorite extract liquid into the nutrition cabin. It would just take a long time, so she was relieved.
"Senior Xu is recovering very well. After he wakes up, it's best to eat some soup and porridge that is easy to digest. Now I will go back and prepare some herbs for my wife to make a pot of fish soup." Uncle Wang smiled, "I Be back in a minute."
"Work hard. I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook some dishes, and we'll have a drink later." Su Zhongtai personally escorted Uncle Wang to the door.
Bai Zhi followed Su Zhongtai for a few steps and then came back to guard the old Xu. Tan was even more direct, standing two steps away from Bai Zhi.
Su Zhongtai and Su Yongan also stared at Jiu Xu intently.
Senior Xu Xu's recovery was better than Uncle Wang expected. He woke up half an hour later. Although he was too weak to leave the life-support cabin, he was able to speak. The first sentence praised Su Zhongtai for being very good. The second sentence She said Bai Zhi: "Girl from the Gu family, bring the child to me for a look."
"The child is not with me." Bai Zhi smiled, "Don't worry, you won't die. I will definitely bring the child to see you if I have the opportunity in the future."
Jiuxu's cheeks trembled slightly in anger, "You won't take care of the child you gave birth to! Aren't you afraid of being raised crookedly by others?"
"My third brother has been very strict with me and my seventh brother since we were young. I have nothing to worry about when my third brother helps me take care of the children." Bai Zhi blinked happily, "By the way, my husband is not Kunwu, and our children will not return home." It's up to you."
Jiu Xu rolled his eyes angrily.
Su Zhongtai tried to figure out what his ancestors meant, and said, "Brothers and sisters will have their own families, and they will treat your children and their own children equally. I'm afraid your sister-in-law and sister-in-law still have some differences in their hearts. I'm afraid they are raising relatives." None of the children at home are too strict.”
Bai Zhi raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
But Jiu Xu suddenly said: "Shut up!"
Su Zhongtai shut up and remained respectful. Su Yongan felt wronged for his father and wanted to speak but dared not.
Jiu Xu stared at Bai Zhi for a long time, then sighed dejectedly, "The ancestral land has been occupied by orcs, how can we talk about the Kunwu clan?"
The time Bai Zhi went to the ancestral land, she didn't stay for two minutes in total, and she had no feeling about the gains and losses of the ancestral land. Su Yongan probably hadn't been to his ancestral land either, so he didn't react either. Only Su Zhongtai held on to the armrest of the life-saving cabin and expressed with tears in his eyes: "Ancestor, don't worry, we will definitely take back our ancestral land."
Tan watched with cold eyes as Senior Xu failed to fool the landlady, quite amused.
Soon Ji Mu came and brought a message from Uncle Wang that he would deliver fish soup later, and also invited Bai Zhi to participate in the conversation between him and Tan.
Senior Xu has the energy to fool people, so there is no need to stay and guard him. Bai Zhi readily agreed and said to Jiu Xu, "There are still some trivial matters that need to be dealt with. I will come to visit you after they are done."
Bai Zhi didn't think of herself as Kunwu at all in this gesture, and Jiu Xu rolled her eyes angrily.
Coming out of Su's house, Ji Mu led the way in another direction. Tan didn't say anything, and Bai Zhi was fine.
Ji Shuo was sitting on the sofa as steady as a rock, but Ms. Cao, who was sitting next to him with a big belly, stood up and greeted Ji Mu warmly, "Your father just said it was time for you to come. This is my grandson Meng Ruisong. Asong , this is Jimu."
Xiao Meng and Luna both stood up and greeted Grandma and Ji Mu.
"This is Mr. Ji Tan from the Ji family." Ji Mu solemnly introduced Tan to Meng Ruisong.
After Xiao Meng and Tan greeted Bai Zhi, they said, "I couldn't get through your communication when the hotel you were staying in was besieged by orcs. It turns out you were in Qingye City."
"I happened to meet an acquaintance." Bai Zhi said this and stopped talking.
Luna refused to let Bai Zhi go, playing the role of a considerate person, "Chang Xiaohui, they have serious business to discuss. Let's go for a walk with grandma."
"Luna, I need
It’s you, not me, who wants to call Ms. Cao grandma. Besides, I'm here to talk business. Bai Zhi smiled at Luna and sat down at the guest of honor seat.
Judging from the seating arrangement, Ji Shuo, who always showed an elder's smile, sat in the main seat, and Xiao Meng, who arrived first, occupied the second guest seat.
Tan sat silently next to Bai Zhi, acknowledging through his actions that Bai Zhi was the main subject of the conversation.
Luna rolled her eyes, which was not gentle at all, and was pulled away with a smile by the truly considerate Ms. Cao.
Xiao Meng's eyes followed Luna's back and said: "Since we are talking about cooperation, I believe that the Ji family, like our Meng family, hopes to eliminate unstable factors as much as possible. The Meng family has always had expectations for Xiaobai. If Xiaobai, you Insist on participating, I think my father will insist on me marrying you as a prerequisite."
Ji Shuo opened his eyes wide in surprise. Ji Muhao sneered.
It's really annoying that Xiao Meng steps on his girlfriend like this just to show his loyalty to her. Bai Zhi rolled her eyes helplessly.
If Sen was there, he would probably start a fight. Tan blinked and said, "Mr. Meng, there is no talk of cooperation."
Xiao Meng spread his hands helplessly, "I don't have any thoughts about Xiao Bai beyond friendship. I am just objectively stating the facts."
Bai Zhi really had a headache, "Even if I don't get involved, it's unlikely that your family will change their mind about marriage."
"That's right. But if you don't get involved, at least the cooperation between the Meng family and the Ji family can be discussed." Xiao Meng smiled self-deprecatingly, "Xiao Bai, are you going out to chat with Luna?"
"I refuse." Bai Zhi's answer was only three words.
"What do you think?" Xiao Meng asked Ji Shuo.
"I'm just a member of the Ji family. When it comes to family interests, the representative of the head of the family has the final say." Ji Shuo spread his hands in embarrassment, "There's more than one family that wants to negotiate cooperation with the Ji family. If we can't negotiate with this family, there will be another family. We are not in a hurry.”
"We are all one family. It's not good to see outsiders like this." Xiao Meng especially does not regard himself as an outsider.
Ji Mu sneered with a slumped face, "I don't dare to ask Lord Meng to change his surname. Let's just keep the relationship of interest pure."
Ji Mu's words did not attack Xiao Meng alone, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Tan remained silent and Bai Zhi also remained silent.
Finally, it was Ji Shuo who spoke: "Cooperation is negotiated. Tan and Ruisong both talked about your ideas. Even if we can't come to an agreement, at least we have talked about it, and you will have an explanation when you go back."
"It's hard to explain to the boss lady if I go back if she's been wronged." Tandu muttered.
The only person who was worried that it would be hard to explain if the cooperation went wrong was Xiao Meng. He was very passive and said with a wry smile: "Ji's bracelets are more convenient to carry than hand cards, but their features are also more obvious. We hope that in addition to the style of the bracelets, There are other styles.”
"This is the only one we sell for takeout." Tan looked nonchalant from the tips of his hair to his heels.
Bai Zhi silently took out a piece of paper and pen to record the prices of the products she had memorized while visiting the specialty store.
The paper is a sketchbook with flower and plant patterns produced by Chang'an Xing Paper Factory, and the pen is the same water-based pen with flower and plant patterns produced by Chang'an Xing Pen Factory. It looks very elegant when placed on the sea of tea.
However, the content recorded by Bai Zhi has nothing to do with Fengya. It is a sketch of a metal hand sign, with the price of five frost-produced high-grade energy blocks and a capacity of one hundred cubic meters written on the side. There is no artistic record at all. Bai Zhi draws very fast, and she can draw more than ten pages in a short time. After she finished drawing a page, Tan took it over to appreciate it. When she was finished, she also commented, "I really like the retail price of your Meng's store."
Bai Zhi happened to have just finished drawing Chunxiao and several other jade bracelets. Tan tutted: "Two thousand five hundred cubic meters is really scary. How long can it remain stable?"
Bai Zhi happily continued to dismantle the situation, "Mr. Ji Mu, I don't know anything when I first arrived in your place. Could you please introduce to me the advantages and disadvantages of the space equipment on the market."
Ji Mu was also happy to dismantle Xiao Meng's platform and enthusiastically introduced: "Generally speaking, the larger the capacity of space items that are more than one hundred cubic meters, the less stable they are. If the capacity exceeds one thousand cubic meters, the service life cannot be measured with instruments, and they may explode at any time. Not to mention Chunxiao priced at two thousand and five hundred, even if it’s over five hundred, it’s just a gimmick, and whoever buys it will be fooled.”
Bai Zhi suddenly realized, "That is to say,
What they really sell in their store is a hundred cards. "
Ji Mu smiled and nodded, "Their cards are quite good. They are all manufactured in the past ten years and are guaranteed to last for two thousand years. If you are lucky, they will last a lifetime. If you are not lucky, they can be passed down to your children and grandchildren. Five pieces of high-grade energy If you discount it in half, it’s worth it.”
"Without the guaranteed price from specialty stores, how can the price on the black market be raised?" Xiao Meng told the truth with a wry smile, "Your Ji family's bracelets started to fetch high prices on the black market because it represents a new technology. , once the new technology is cracked, it will be very good if it can sell two pieces of high-grade energy."
"Hasn't this been cracked? On the black market, one can fetch a hundred, and I can still make more money by selling one every now and then than if you take a batch from me at the wholesale price you set." Tan chuckled, "Mrs. Boss, you Say so?"
"Last time in Xinglin, I used a Ji's ring to exchange for three random star gates that were used ten times." Bai Zhi praised Tan with her strength.
Ji Shuo, who was drinking tea calmly, choked on his tea and coughed several times.
Ji Mu opened his eyes and looked at Bai Zhi seriously, "You exchanged it at the legendary Dayu City Department Store? Didn't you get chased all over the street by the after-sales service people when you left the department store?"
"Of course, they are very enthusiastic and gave us a lot of space hand cards. My friend took them to Chaojing black market and sold them in exchange for a small spaceship." Bai Zhi took out a random star gate from Big Fish Department Store with ten times. He handed it to Tan, "This is for Sen. You can take it back to him."
"Our landlady is still good at doing business." Tan happily put them away and said, "Why don't you exchange a few more? These things are so rare now that you can't buy them even if you have money!"
"There are only three of them in total. The treasure of the store has been there for more than a thousand years, and they are sold several times every year." Ji Mu didn't know what he thought of, and he smiled very happily.
Xiao Meng looked depressed and didn't want to talk at all. Bai Zhi felt that she was laughed at by Ji Mu and didn't want to speak.
Ji Shuo smiled and asked: "Xiao Bai, you went to dig for a random star gate, did you find it?"
Well, everyone with the surname Ji, except Xiao Lin, is not a kind person! Bai Zhi shook her head, "When we started digging, we met Lord Meng who came to help us. After the war in Xinglin, we opened a random star gate and came to Chaojing."
Ji Mu patted the coffee table and laughed so much that tears came out.
Xiao Meng couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the meal he forced himself to eat, "You and Zhou Lingnan acted like a couple."
The family was originally a family of seven, and Tan was jealous of his family leader in his heart. He took it out on Xiao Meng and said, "Our Ji's bracelet has a wholesale price of 4.5 yuan per 100 cubic meters of high-grade energy. The first batch of transactions is 500 yuan." No counter-offers will be accepted. The wholesale price of 60 and 80 cubic meters will be reduced by 15% based on today's market price."
"Does your family owner know that the price increase is so random?" Xiao Meng scolded angrily.
"It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. I can go to the black market and open a retail store." Tan shrugged nonchalantly, "I'll set the price at 100 yuan a piece first, and I can sell 180 pieces no matter what. Then I will slowly lower the price and sell it. .”
"Stop dreaming. The total number of masters in Kyushu who can produce more than one hundred cubic meters of space equipment will not exceed two hundred. Half of these two hundred supply to me, the Meng family. How many do you think you can sell?" Xiao Meng sneered and choked when he realized that he had accidentally missed his trump card.
"Although there are few masters, there are many people who want to become masters. We always have dreams. What if they come true?" Bai Zhi smiled and drank the expired chicken soup, "I think it is a good idea to open a store by myself."
"Without me, Meng, endorsing Ji's bracelet, you wouldn't be able to last even a month if you open a second-hand store. Feng's lesson is not far away, I advise you to be cautious." Xiao Meng's face dropped.
"What's wrong with Feng?" Bai Zhi asked Tan.
"The Feng family sold a batch of 500 small wallets to the Meng family at a high price. I heard that if you open each one, you will expose the other one." Tan's gloating was too obvious, "The Feng family lost another 500 small wallets. It is said that none of them were opened. . The contract they signed had additional clauses. Feng paid a large amount of liquidated damages and promised not to sell space equipment in Kyushu again. "
Ze knew very well that the small wallet produced in Donghai would self-destruct, and he would only sell the small wallet for takeout if his brain was broken. Bai Zhi concluded that most of the people did this secretly behind Ze's back. Feng's won't sell it and replace it with another one.
It's not a troublesome thing to be an agent to sell, and Bai Zhi is not worried about Feng Jia and Ze at all. But of course she would not show her understanding of the Feng family in front of Xiao Meng, so she just smiled and shook her head and said, "Tan, be careful when signing a contract with me."
"We are determined not to sign a contract, otherwise it will be inconvenient to increase the price temporarily." Tan chuckled, "I have already expressed my sincerity, and I am rushing to take the nearest spaceship back, so I will say goodbye."
Bai Zhi stood up and said goodbye to Ji Shuo, and took out a box of fruit: "Excuse me. I came in a hurry and was not prepared. I brought some fruit to Aunt Cao."
"Thank you." Ji Shuo smiled and took the fruit, "Come over and play when you have time. Your Aunt Cao is quite bored at home, so she just wants someone to talk to her."
"Father, I also say goodbye. Aunt Cao is about to give birth. I will come back when my younger siblings are one month old." Ji Mu performed the farewell etiquette perfectly, "Goodbye, Lord Meng."
Bai Zhi waved to Xiao Meng casually and followed Ji Mu out. Tan still maintained his true character as a guard and walked outside Bai Zhi.
"I need to talk to Tan." Bai Zhi asked Ji Mu, "Is there a suitable place for private conversation nearby?"
"My brother-in-law's teahouse." Ji Mu tilted his head, "Are you sure you don't want to cooperate with the Meng family?".net
"Sure." Tan shook his head, "My original goal was to visit Meng's store. Since the proprietress has already visited and I have something to hand over, I won't stay here for a long time."
Entering Uncle Wang's teahouse, Tan rudely shut Mu out of the door and even closed the windows tightly.
"Is it safe?" Bai Zhi asked.
"Mr. Wang Ju is consulting in the tea room, and privacy is guaranteed. Do you have anything you want me to pass on to Mr. Gu San?"
Bai Zhi, "Just tell my third brother that we are safe. I came to you because I have something to ask you. How many days will it take at the fastest to get back to us from Chaojing?"
"If you go through the star gate, it will take a month. Use the random star gate to read your face, and you may be there in a few minutes." Tan took out the random star gate, "You'd better keep this star gate for self-defense. As long as the bugs don't stop over there, Humans and orcs can coexist peacefully. There is no problem with the safety of the area I control through the orcs."
"We got a few more in Chaojing in the past few days. Take this with you for self-defense. I also have some very important things that I want you to take back for me." Bai Zhi sat down cross-legged and filled the space with a capacity of twenty to three hundred He took out the gem and said, "This is the result of my guessing when I visited their store today. The gems range from 20 to 300, all at random. The instrument cannot detect it, so you can take it back with you as you see fit. In addition, I have something else to do." I want to ask you. If you don’t know, you should think about going to Ji Mu to talk to him, it’s very important.”
Tan nodded and put away the box containing the gems, "With this in mind, it is really necessary to carry one with you for the random star gate. I hope I won't need it."
"We were heading to the Star Forest for the random star gate. After we went there, we found that several families in the Star Forest had brought back some supplies from the Earth. I haven't found out what the specific supplies were. Feihu.qiu surrounded the Star Forest. The natives of Star Forest threw a few atomic bombs. There was no place to wait for us, so we had to open a random star gate and run. This Lord Meng can smell me, and I can't get rid of him. In Star Forest At that time, the focus of his activities was on those families who had returned from Earth. I guess he was doing the same thing in Chao Jing. I just want to ask. In addition to Uncle Wang's uncle from Chao Jing, there were also Someone else?"
"No. Apart from the head of the family, I am the only one who knows about this matter. Mr. Wang Da only found out about the Earth after he took Sen and Lin away from Chao Jing. He did not return to Chao Jing alive. Mr. Wang Xiao and the old lady still have Ji Mu doesn't even know about this." Tan Ya whispered, "Don't worry. Even if the people riding the flying tiger knew it, they wouldn't choose to tell it. Although the chance of going to the earth to win the big prize is slim, ideally if it can How about realizing it?”
