While Xu Yi was looking around, a young man in a long gown walked towards him quickly, with a professional smile like a real estate agent of later generations on Yuanyuan's face. When he walked up to him, he cupped his fists at Xu Yi and said with a smile, "This brother The appearance is so strange and noble, but looking east and west, I feel very novel. It is obvious that I have just entered the East City of Guang'an. I am not a talented person. I am a native of the city. I'm not familiar with it, but it was Xiongtai who was the guide."
Xu Yi understood that he had met a guide. When he first arrived here, he really needed a guide. If the price was right, he would hire him, "Tell me the price!"
The young man in the long gown was startled, obviously he didn't expect Xu Yi to be so direct, but he was a bit awkward to talk to.
Xu Yi didn't give him time to think carefully, so he walked away. He figured that there were a lot of people doing this kind of work in this city.
After all the customers came, how could the young man in the long gown want Xu Yi to run away like this, and hurried to catch up, "Don't, don't worry, brother is too quick-tempered. One price, five gold coins!"
Xu Yi almost fell to the ground. He was working as a tour guide, and he dared to ask for five gold coins. He had a luxurious lunch at noon yesterday, and he only spent two taels of silver. If a gold coin is exchanged into silver, it can eat Hesse for a whole year.
Seeing Xu Yi's face change, the young man in long gown said urgently, "Brother, don't think it's too expensive, just listen to me. Brother, you don't think I'm just doing the job of leading the way, how can it be that simple? I'm not only responsible for answering questions If you have any questions about Xiongtai in the city, you have to accompany Xiongtai to make purchases, be responsible for introducing, bargaining, and so on.”
It sounded that the young man in long gown had done a lot of work, but Xu Yishan was so rich that he didn't want to talk too much, so he turned around and left, trying to shop around.
The young man in the long gown was like brown candy, entangled him, he talked endlessly, and gave many examples. It was all about someone who had just arrived in Dongcheng and was reluctant to spend the guide fee, but was cheated out of money by a certain shop, making him laugh out loud.
Xu Yi was annoyed by what he heard, but he was touched. He changed his mind and said, "Don't open your mouth like a lion. You are sincere. Let me tell you a way. I really want to buy something when I enter the city. No less than two hundred gold. You are responsible for haggling the price of the things I fancy, and you will get one-tenth of the cut off. If you succeed, lead me there. If you fail, get out of the way quickly. Don’t make me angry! "
Xu Yi has such a brain, he can figure out such a two-way solution in an instant.
As far as he is concerned, the crisis is just around the corner, and the top priority is to strengthen his own strength. When he entered the city this time, he planned to make a large purchase.
Although I don't know how much it will cost, it will definitely not be less.
What the young man in the long gown said was right, he was new here, he was neither familiar with the place nor the prices, so if he entered the store rashly, he would inevitably get stabbed.
In exchange for this young man in a long gown helping out and bargaining, he just made up for this shortcoming.
He also believed that there would be a young man in a long gown to act on his behalf, and he would never save only five gold coins.
This method is both convenient and win-win. Sure enough, the young man in long gown jumped to agree as soon as he finished speaking.
This is indeed a simple account. The young man in the long gown knows that according to the usual practice, the store's asking price can be cut off by at least 30%. The surplus lost is one hundred gold, calculated by ten percent, it is ten gold.
What's more, if he shows his life-threatening skills, he may not be able to cut down more, and he will naturally get more.
After negotiating the business, the two exchanged names. This gentleman is called Yuan Qinghua, and he said that he has been in this business for seven or eight years and has rich experience.
Along the way, this gentleman pointed out the famous places in the city, anecdotes and anecdotes, eloquent and witty, which is also interesting.
The two walked on a bluestone arched bridge, Xu Yi suddenly saw thirty feet away to the northwest, the voices of people were bustling, and it was very lively. Looking far away, he saw a three-foot-high platform built there. On the ground, two strong men were fighting to the death, and the flashes of swords and swords were very shocking.
After thinking about it for a while, Xu Yi understood that what was going on there was probably the famous life-and-death duel in Guang'an City, and it was also the challenge he was about to face.
Yuan Qinghua pointed to that place with a smile, and said, "It's still early, brother, but I'd like to take a closer look. If you're interested, I'll bet on the up and down, and I'll bet on the palm of my hand. I've watched duels for so many years, and I bet these two tricks are also considered It's been practiced."
"Bet? How do you say that?" Xu Yiqi asked.
Yuan Qinghua was stunned, and wondered if the old man in front of him had just come out of the barren hills, but his mouth was not slow, "If there is a fight, there will naturally be a victory or defeat. If there is a victory or defeat, there will naturally be a game. In Guang'an City, every day There have been no less than a hundred fights, if it wasn't for the exciting bets, Xiongtai thought that there would be people willing to watch the competition in the mid-term of physical training?"
Xu Yi nodded and said, "Brother Yuan has good eyesight, he can judge the realm of the two on stage from such a distance."
Yuan Qinghua hummed again and again, and laughed, "Brother, I don't know something about the stage. It's not because of my good eyesight, but the state of the two sides competing for victory on the stage. It is displayed on the flagpole beside the stage. My Royal Court of Dayue uses gold, purple, black, and blue colors , etc., to distinguish between superior and inferior, here we use it to use five-color flags to announce the realms of the two sides fighting on the stage, so as to attract gamblers of different levels. The four realms of body training correspond to purple, black, white, and blue respectively. Four colors. At this moment, the white flag is hanging on the stage, it is obvious that the two sides fighting on the stage are in the mid-stage of body forging."
Xu Yidao, "Gold, purple, black, white and blue, there are five colors in total. Why do the four realms of body forging take up four colors, while above body forging, there is only one color left?"
Yuan Qinghua said, "The reason is very simple. After cultivating to the Qi Sea Realm, he is a great big shot in Guang'an City. There will be disputes between big shots. Why do we need to make a fuss on that platform? To be honest, feel free As long as I can remember, I have never seen a golden flag raised on the arena. What's more, in recent years, the tentacles of the three famous families have gradually extended into Guang'an City, and there are three parties to reconcile, and even the purple flag is rarely raised."
Xu Yidao, "That's how it is. I think it's simple. I have another question. If someone hides his state and fights on the stage, but secretly invests heavily in himself, wouldn't he get huge profits in an instant? Of course, duels can continue to this day, and they are popular in Guang'an , it is expected that there must be a good strategy to avoid this loophole."
Like a dry sponge, Xu Yi quickly absorbed the knowledge of this world.
