Lanye Empire, streets of Lanyin City
Xiao Jiu gently pulled the sapphire earring on her left earlobe with an expressionless expression.
The tentacles are cold and shiny, just like the jade that has been sitting at the bottom of the stream for a long time.
It was indeed glued on, Xiao didn't lie to her.
But Xiao didn't tell her that she couldn't take it off if it was stuck on.
Ignoring the fact that a certain saint took it off easily and then enthusiastically helped her put it on.
To be fair, this earring is elegant in shape, with carefully cut sapphires and fine silver links. No matter the material or the workmanship, Xiaojiu, a real royal family, is impressed by it. The Spring of the Fourth Year of the Qingli Festival interjected, if it is about the exquisite and gorgeous jewelry and clothes. , this princess of the sea has been arrogant to other females for thousands of years, because she is the best metallurgist and master of gems known in the world, and the beauty of female beauty is unrivaled in the world. It is a pity that this princess has always produced her own children Selling yourself is very frustrating.
However, if you only wear one such earring, it will inevitably feel out of place.
Xiaojiu looked in front of her and saw a piece of aqua blue silk cloth with about twenty ice blue ice sculptures scattered on it. Next to her hand was a row of homemade small wooden signs, and next to it was the one that was curled up comfortably. A white cat sleeping soundly with a hair ball.
Yes, Xiaojiu is setting up a stall.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the 110th year of the Lan Li calendar. It has been more than a month since the snow fell, and the New Year has just passed.
In the meantime, a lot of things happened, or maybe nothing happened.
The basic course of Thousand Tribulations has been taught in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli. He left the Holy Lake before the New Year and disappeared without a trace, not even interested in spending New Year's Eve together.
After that night, An Ning finally began to teach Ge Sheng magic. Although An Ning had never taught Ge Sheng magic before, this lady's magical attainments had never been doubted. Moreover, Ge Sheng had a physique that was a fusion of ice and fire.
Yes, Ge Sheng heard the name of this constitution from his own mother for the first time, and it was confirmed that it was a very powerful and rare constitution.
For magicians, in addition to their interest in practicing magic, physical fitness is more important. Among them, the light and dark systems have the most stringent physical requirements, but the other four systems are only incompatible with each other. old habits.
Wind and earth collide, water and fire collide.
The fusion of ice and fire physique means that you can practice water and fire magic at the same time without any hindrance, and the efficiency of meditation is more than three times that of ordinary people.
At that time, An Ning narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Are you confused that even so, I still don't want to teach you magic, right?"
Ge Sheng nodded.
An Ning shook her head lightly, with a little melancholy: "Because you have not inherited my talent."
After a few simple magic rituals, coupled with the foundation of Qianjie, Ge Sheng has the strength of Qingjie, after all.
Looking back, Ge Sheng couldn't believe that he was the child of a powerful person in the heaven realm.
I have never felt better than this.
The reason why we are in Lanyin City is because the Ge family sent an invitation, inviting Ge Sheng to come to the city to watch the lanterns.
Because according to custom, today is the Lantern Festival, and Lanyin City, as the most famous lantern capital in the continent, will hold a grand lantern feast.
Normally such an invitation would not be handed over because the Ge family was not willing to take the initiative to contact the lady. However, this year due to the turmoil a year ago, even though it was a passing on of the crisis, the Ge family needed to release some goodwill to make up for the rift.
An Ning returned the invitation, but did not refuse it because it was difficult for the two children to resist the unknown temptation.
But originally I was just watching the lantern festival, how could I connect it with setting up a stall? This involves a large number of by-products of Yi Jie.
The reason why they do this business here is because Xiaojiu and Gesheng produced a large number of ice crafts through practicing Qianjie. Xiaojiu suddenly thought: "How about we sell them."
Naturally, Ge Sheng would not refuse such a fun idea. When he went home and asked his mother, An Ning's mother kindly provided him with the piece of blue silk cloth and a purse containing forty coppers and twenty silver corners as starting capital.
According to Xiaojiu's long-term competitive rhythm, she insisted that the two of them sell the products separately and compare the profits in the end. Ge Sheng extremely doubted whether Xiaojiu, who still cannot speak normally to this day, could complete the competition.
Xiaojiu smiled and wrote: "This girl has her own clever plan."
…
…
Xiao Jiu is now in the north corner of Lanyin City, which is south of Lanshui. This prosperous ancient city was built thousands of years ago. It has been the main city of Lanyin County since then. It relies on water conservancy to facilitate , extending from the north to the south, making it a prosperous city that the entire Lanye Empire can count on.
Therefore, Lanyin City is very large, with a total of twelve city gates in the southeast, northwest, and east-west distances of 3,400 feet. It takes an hour to walk from the main road from west to east.
In comparison, Ye Ye, the capital city as a city in the lake, is like an exquisite and compact city in the palm of your hand.
The owner of this city is the family of Ge Sheng's father. They have been entrenched in Lanyin for thousands of years. They are a well-deserved famous family here, sucking in huge wealth like a giant python surrounding the entire city. Attack without mercy any enemy who dares to offend their interests.
But all this has nothing to do with Ge Sheng, although Ge Sheng already knew that if his mother had not withdrawn from the clan, he would have the status of the third generation heir in the family, because Ge Sheng's father was the intended young patriarch of the Ge family during his lifetime. When he said this, the boy's expression was indifferent and calm, and he didn't seem to care at all about what he had lost.
The most effective thing An Ning taught him was to never regret what you have done.
But this has nothing to do with Xiao Jiu at this time.
The business was very good, maybe it was because Xiao Jiu, who was wearing an elegant white dress, was so cute with her carved jade look. In just two hours, Xiao Jiu sold eleven ice sculptures of different sizes, earning four silver coins. , seventy coppers.
Of course, what needs to be noted is the embarrassing element of zero cost.
Well, I know you also want to know how this silent little girl completes the transaction.
At this time, a young man in well-dressed clothes looked at the ice sculptures on the blue silk cloth with great interest. After looking around for no one, he confirmed that the little blue-haired girl behind the silk cloth with an indifferent expression but an unusually delicate face was the stall owner, and pointed at one of them. The snow kite statue asked: "Little girl, how much does this cost?"
Xiaojiu held up one of the wooden signs expressionlessly: "A silver horn."
"Can it be cheaper?" The young man bargained: "I am just an ordinary adventurer. I bought it as a birthday gift for my fiancée. We are mercenaries who have been together, and we have always lived and died together. I like your ice sculptures very much, but I really can’t afford that much money.”
Xiao Jiu turned his head and thought for a moment, then changed a wooden sign: "Ten copper coins."
The young man was a little dazed: Is this okay?
The Lanye Empire uses coins as its standard currency, with three levels of gold, silver and copper. The exchange standard according to the imperial price is one gold to 20 silver to 2,000 copper. There are also iron cents as auxiliary coins below copper. The specific black market price will fluctuate based on the market prices of the three types of precious metals.
In short, Xiaojiu reduced the price by 90% in one fell swoop.
Although the gift of a silver horn is indeed a bit luxurious for an adventurer, after all, it is their allowance for nearly a month, but the snow kite sculpture that the young man just pointed out is made of condensation material, and the details are also small. The fibers are fully exposed and extremely expressive. Although the material is made of ice, the tentacles are cold and warm. This is the ice jade condensed on the surface when the tribulation is completed, which can effectively prevent the ice sculpture from melting when exposed to heat.
As far as ice jade is concerned, it is normally a material that can only be made by a great magician, not to mention that the content of the sculpture is still the big white bird that Rixiao was riding on when he left that day, this beautiful big bird that sits on top of the World of Warcraft. Although very few people are lucky enough to see its face, its elegance and noble temperament cannot be concealed. If it is used as an art collection, even if the ninth princess of Lanye does not have to make such a gold-lettered signboard, she can sell it for a gold leaf if she meets an appreciative person. Grass is not impossible.
Naturally, the young man also knew this. He blushed slightly and said thanks, "Thank you, little girl. I'm so sorry. This is forty coppers. My name is Mu Xing. Remember girl."
Xiaojiu nodded indifferently and took the money bag he handed over. Without counting, he flicked his left hand, and the snow kite sculpture floated in front of the young man and let him take it away after thanking him.
This is when a lazy and joking voice sounded in my ears, "Little girl, how do you sell this?"
Xiaojiu didn't even raise his head, and immediately picked up an exquisite golden wooden sign.
"A goldleaf clover."
