Chapter 27 Business Opportunities

“Ah, come here and take a look, here are the freshly baked goods from the mountains Ah! They are all products from the mountains!” An old man in shabby clothes shouted.

At this moment, Lin Xiao’s mood returned to calm. Looking at the bustling crowd on the street, he finally found a sense of security.

“Come on, let’s take a look, there are some freshly baked goods here!”

Lin Xiao was quickly attracted by the yo-hoo sound and turned to look. , just see that there are many strange things on the stalls, large and small, colorful, purple fruits as large as eggs, blue fruits like palms, human-shaped mountain treasures, and some things I don’t know whether to eat or not what.

The old man looked at Lin Xiao and said politely: “Little Brother, come and have a look, there are a lot of fresh wild fruits here, buy some back, even if you can’t finish eating them, you can give them away. My girlfriend.”

Lin Xiao walked over, pointed to a small crystal clear and near-transparent purple fruit of an egg and asked, “What kind of fruit is this.”

p>

“Hehe, you are really insightful, this is a good thing, this is agate fruit, it is a wild fruit deep in the mountains, and it will only bear fruit on ancient trees over a thousand years old, it is very hard to find, and The quantity is scarce, eat one, and you are guaranteed to be refreshed.”

“Is it that amazing? Are you bragging!”

“Hey, you are so ugly, At my age, I have been doing business here for hundreds of years, and who doesn’t know that the things I sell are all good things.”

“A hundred years? So how old are you this year?”

When the old man heard this, he raised three fingers and said, “I’m over three hundred years old, can’t you see it? I’m a warrior, otherwise, how dare I go to the mountains to collect What about the wild fruits on the mountain? It is very dangerous to go up the mountain.”

“More than three hundred years old!” Lin Xiao found that people in this world can live for so long, and Lin Xiao guessed that this might be related to cultivation, thinking of Here, Lin Xiao said with a smile, “What’s the price of this agate fruit?”

“Oh, this thing is a bit expensive, it costs ten Silver Coins.”

Lin Xiao is right The currency here does not have a very accurate concept, and I don’t know how much ten Silver Coins are.

In the Azure continent, one gold coin is equal to one hundred Silver Coins, which is equal to ten thousand Copper Coins. The annual income of an ordinary person is about dozens of gold coins. It can be seen from this that ten Silver Coins are a comparison. Dear.

Lin Xiao touched his pocket and realized that he was penniless, but he didn’t show it right away, instead he took it easy and pointed at another person who looked a bit like a “human”. He asked, “What is this?”

“This is Ginseng Fruit, oh my, young man, good eyesight, this thing is even more precious, it is rare to come across one every year, today Good luck in the morning, I was fortunate to get one.”

“Then tell me in detail, I have never seen this thing.”

old man said with a smile: “You just How old is it? It’s not surprising that I haven’t seen this thing before. It’s normal for an ordinary person to never see it in my life. This kind of fruit can run and has no fixed growth position. It likes to run to the top of the tree to bask in the sun.”

“Run to the top of the tree? Isn’t it buried in the soil? How can it still move, isn’t that an animal?”

“It, some people say it is a half-animal A semi-plant, because it grows on sunlight and the sap of a big tree, and whenever it climbs to the top of some kind of big tree, it takes root there, puts the root into the branches of the big tree, and absorbs nutrients, The tops of the trees have plenty of sunlight, so they need such harsh conditions to grow.”

“Ah? Is there such a thing?” Lin Xiao seemed very surprised, didn’t expect this world to have Such a strange creature, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, should have a special purpose.

“Yes, and they don’t live on a fixed tree, they often choose towering trees, so it’s hard to find.”

“How to eat? What are the benefits of it to the body?”

“You can eat it raw, or you can take it back to make soup. If you have an injury, you can quickly recover by eating this food, and it can also improve your cultivation speed. There are extra supplements, if you want, I will sell you one hundred gold coins.”

Lin Xiao hearing this is a little heartwarming, after eating such a strange thing, it must be very beneficial to your body . It’s a pity that I have no money, so I can only say: “Thank you, I’ll go shopping, I’ll come to buy it after I think about it in a while.”

“Okay!” After the old man finished, Continue to shout.

Lin Xiao regretted not borrowing some gold coins from Jarrod to go shopping. He continued walking, walking, and vaguely saw a group of people gathered around, not knowing what they were doing, it looked very lively , There are men and women in this group, and women account for more than half.

Lin Xiao was very curious, so he walked over and squeezed into the crowd. After looking carefully for a while, he found that this group of people were gathering to gamble, and the gambling equipment turned out to be a strange turtle.

After observing for a few minutes, Lin Xiao found that this strange turtle had eight holes on its tortoise shell, East, South, West, North, and eight directions of southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast.

The eight openings are marked with eight numbers.

The rules of the game are very simple, every time the turtle puts its head in, everyone starts betting, and after placing your bets and hands off the table, the dealer starts on the turtle’s back Beat the gongs and drums.

The turtle thought it was thunder when it heard the sound of gongs and drums, and then it would stick its head out, but the position where it sticks out is random. Triple the payout, if you bet next to the corresponding position, you can get double the payout.

“Aha, place your bets and hands off the table, place your bets and hands off the table, ah, if there is still a bet, if not, I will open!” The sturdy name woman loudly shouted.

“Dang dang dang!” With the end of the percussion, the turtle showed its head, “No. 4” position!

“Aha, kill!” The sturdy woman seemed very proud.

Lin Xiao laughed, didn’t expect everyone to gamble openly on the street. It seems that there should be no strict control here, maybe this is a good “project” to make a fortune.

In the era when Lin Xiao lived, what kind of charlatans had never encountered before. Novices were afraid of skilled hands, skilled hands were afraid of experts, and experts were afraid of old people. Lin Xiao likes to gamble since he was a child, but his gambling is very small, and he also has a certain degree of research on the old thousand.

Lin Xiao looked left and right, and gradually found that someone in the team had some “contact” with this sturdy woman. Others couldn’t see any weak spots, but he could.

These two people are “spoofing” for everyone. This kind of Jianghu trick has been ruined in Lin Xiao’s hometown, and he can see it at a glance.

[Hmph, this is well hidden! 】Lin Xiao secretly said with a smile, and soon Lin Xiao found out that the position where the boy was bought was opposite to the position that was opened, that is to say, if the turtle came out from the north, then he would bet on the south. .

After several observations, Lin Xiao discovered this pattern, so he borrowed a gold coin from a strange woman next to him.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was young and handsome, the woman immediately lent him a gold coin.

After getting a gold coin, he was optimistic about the timing and bought the opposite direction with the male trustee. Sure enough, Lin Xiao won three times the payout!

“Haha, little brother, you are lucky, you won triple the payout!”

Lin Xiao smiled and said, “Thank you sister-in- law, if you hadn’t lent me a gold coin, I wouldn’t have won a penny.” Lin Xiao gave her a gold coin after he finished speaking.

“sister-in-law, am I that big? You should call me elder sister.” After the young woman finished speaking, she puffed out her chest on purpose and pressed against Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed, the elder sister in front of her did have several points of beauty, but when she remembered that she was an ordinary person and what happened in the academy, she immediately lost her thoughts.

Lin Xiao thought so, and then he shot again, this time, he won six gold coins, plus two of his own, a total of eight gold coins.

“ah ha ha, you’re so amazing, you got hit again! Then you have to invite a guest to dinner at noon.” The elder sister said with a smile.

Lin Xiao happily nodded, and then prepared to continue to the village, but found that the male nurse and the sturdy woman were secretly talking.

Lin Xiao secretly smiled: I guess they want to change their strategy now, I thought I couldn’t see it.

At this time, the trustee had already bought it.

Lin Xiao saw the tricks and guessed that the rules of the game might change. In order to test the water, Lin Xiao only invested 1 gold coin this time, and it was the same as the trustee. ‘s note.

As soon as the results were drawn, Lin Xiao won again, and it was tripled!

“Oh, your luck is really good! You’ve won three bets in a row! I’ll have meat to eat with you!” The eldest sister next to him said with a smile.

In the next half hour, these two people changed their tricks again, Lin Xiao quickly discovered the pattern, chased after the victory again, and won a lot of gold coins, until the sturdy woman Putting the turtle away, she said angrily, “I won’t play anymore, I won’t play anymore, come back tomorrow, I’ll be here today.” After she finished speaking, she glared at Lin Xiao before leaving angrily.

Lin Xiao looked at the gold coin in his pocket and won almost a hundred gold coins. He was very happy. After all, he was paying a small price for big rewards in return.

“hehe, little brother, I won too with your light today.” The young woman looked at Lin Xiao with a smile and continued to ask, “By the way, you are really Blue Sword Academy. Are you a student?”

Lin Xiao took out the relevant documents and said, “What am I lying to you, look.”

The young woman smiled and said, “As expected Students from first-class colleges, all of them are experts! How about you come to my house today and I invite you to dinner?”

Lin Xiao shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I’ll buy something, I have to go to the academy for class in a while, or another day.”

“Well, my name is Merritt, what’s your name?”

“My name is Lin Xiao. “

“Lin Xiao? Well, my house lives at No. 66 on this street. You can come to my house to find me if you have time in the future. You are welcome at any time.” Merritt finished speaking and said to Lin Xiao Cast a wink.

Lin Xiao nodded, thinking to himself: If you want to coax me to go to your house, maybe I’m a witch again, so I don’t want to be a witch!

Then the two separated, and Lin Xiao walked towards the market center.
