I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 168 Deerskin
When the ghost market opens, there will always be a place for the Yokai Academy office there.

So now, it is not appropriate to make things public about Monster Academy.

Just let outsiders think that she raised a demon and be friendly to the demon.

No matter how much a monk likes to get rid of demons, he would never attack other people's demons.

The Round House Market was a great success on the first day it opened. What people saw and heard here became the talk of the people who had been there. The grand occasion of the Round House Market spread through people's mouths.

Even those who had previously scorned the propaganda of the Round House Market, thinking it was exaggerated and flashy, gradually changed their mentality after hearing more about it, and came up with the idea of ​​​​taking a look.

There are also people who brought special food here to share with others, or bought fashionable and beautiful clothes and accessories to wear for others to see. People who are interested in food and clothing are also famous.

Even the people from the villages and towns on the south bank took the ferry specially to come to the market to watch the excitement and buy new year's goods.

Even those who have already come here will come back soon after returning.

Some of these people come to have fun, and some of them come here for the first time to discover business opportunities and want to make a fortune by taking advantage of the market.

In the five-story market, only the first floor of the stores on the outer ring street is open. The remaining two to five floors are all vacant and said to be for rent. There is a special store leasing center that can handle leasing matters.

Businessmen in the city have sensed business opportunities and are coming here.

Even for ordinary people who don't have much money and want to sell their own things, the Round House Market also provides a special place - the free market.

It is also a very spacious shop, specially designed for people to set up stalls and sell things.

It is protected from the wind and rain. You only need to pay the stall fee of ten coppers a day to rent a stall for a day, and there are discounts for long-term rentals.

In the past, they carried a load and took a boat across the river to sell things in the city. The round-trip boat fare alone was more than ten coppers, not to mention that the market in the city also charged stall fees, and it was still on both sides of the street, in an open-air place.

Even ordinary people who had finished their New Year shopping, many came here a second time. This time it was not for New Year shopping, but for a warehouse they saw when they first came back.

This warehouse is divided into a consignment area and a receiving area.

You can place the items in the consignment area of ​​the cargo station and let the market sell them on your behalf. The market will take a [-]% commission based on the sales proceeds.

You can also take the items directly to the receiving area and sell them.

The warehouse collects a wide variety of items, such as agricultural products, mountain products, various meats, handmade products, etc.

The prices are higher than those charged by merchants who go to villages, and more reasonable than those charged by shops in county towns.

There are even some things that are not collected elsewhere, such as wild vegetables and fruits, but they are also collected here.

It can be said that when you enter this store, you can basically find two things that you can sell yourself.

Even if it's not listed on the notice board in the warehouse, if you feel it's worth something, you can ask the store clerk, and they'll probably take it.

Many villages specially drive ox carts out to sell things, taking advantage of the New Year to make a small fortune and have a good New Year.

In the whole market, Song Yushan's favorite place to visit is the warehouse, because there are so many people here and he can always see some unexpected new things, which can be regarded as a great experience.

That day she came to the warehouse again. When she passed the leather goods counter, she saw a fresh deerskin at a glance. She touched the corners of the deerskin and asked the clerk at the counter: "Who sent this leather? Do you remember?" ?”

The clerk thought there was something wrong with the deerskin. Their performance in the past few days was related to whether they could keep their current jobs, so they quickly thought about it.

"Yes! An old woman brought it. She said her son went up to the mountain to get it... It was a group of people from the same village who came together. What's their name?"

The clerk thought hard and couldn't remember the name of the village.He is a foreigner who worked his way into the dental industry. He doesn't know much about the villages and towns surrounding the county.

And there are so many folks here these days that it’s impossible to tell them apart.

Song Yushan did not embarrass him: "If you can't remember it, don't think about it. I took the deerskin and charged it to my account. If this person comes again next time, remember to ask which village she is from and then tell me."

"Yes!" The clerk breathed a sigh of relief and agreed immediately.

Song Yushan put the deerskin into the Qiankun bag and continued shopping at other counters.

Next, at the meat collection counter, I saw four venison legs and several strips of venison.

I asked the clerk and found out that the venison was also delivered today, and the venison seller was also an old woman. People traveling with her called her Granny Zhao, but they still didn't know which village she came from.

Song Yushan also took away the venison and legs.

After returning, she took out the deerskin, venison, and legs and inspected them carefully. There was indeed residual evil spirit in the corners of the deerskin, but not in the deer meat or legs.

It seems that the demonic energy is not from the deer, but is left behind by other demons.

Song Yushan held up the deer skin and gestured: "This should be the position of the deer's neck."

He touched the shape of the defect near the demon's aura and said, "This deer was killed by a demon."

Aunt Zhao said that the prey killed by the demon was brought by her son, so the demon must have something to do with Aunt Zhao.

Either Grandma Zhao herself is a demon, or Grandma Zhao's son is a demon.

Since arriving in the county, she hasn't seen a strange monster for a long time.

If the Monster Academy wants to develop in the county, it still needs to find a local monster to help promote it.

As for the little tit, the little guy is too young and has been wandering around Cuiping Mountain. He only knows some birds in Cuiping Mountain, so he can't be of much help.

The owner of this monster spirit may be able to help open up the enrollment situation of the Monster Academy.

But now I don’t know which village Grandma Zhao is from, and I can’t find out.

In the next few days, she went to the warehouse every day. One was to be interested in the things in the warehouse, and the other was to wait for news from Grandma Zhao.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. She didn't get any news until the evening of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month when the Yuanlou Market closed.

Also, the villagers come back for the first time to buy New Year’s goods and the second time to sell things. They are busy celebrating the New Year. Two times is the most, so how can they come every day?
The Round House Market will be closed on the 29th and will not open again until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year. I don’t know when we will have any news.

Song Yushan let out a long sigh.

But there is no good way, I can only wait for someone to come to my door.

"What's bothering me, junior sister?"

When Qin Yuan came out after paying tribute to the ancestors' tablets in the main hall, she saw her junior sister, the omnipotent businessman, sighing and asked her what was wrong.

"Alas! It's not about the evil spirit on the deer skin. Grandma Zhao has not come again. I'm afraid she won't be able to find her for a while." Song Yushan said.

"This!" Qin Yuan coughed slightly and puffed out his chest.
