Zhang Dakui took the man to the side to exchange, and Guo Shishi continued to shout.
A talisman came over and said, "I haven't cultivated Tibetan talismans. Can you sell me some food? I... I'll pay two big talismans for a pound of meat. What's the price?"
Guo Shishi shook his head and said, "Uncle, this can't be done, I just exchange it and don't sell it."
Everyone present knew that the price offered by the talisman was not low, but it was impossible to buy food at this price. Now no one is willing to exchange food for black talisman money, and that stuff cannot be eaten.
The man sighed, took out a set of talismans, and said, "This set of talismans... I don't know if you can change it? It's the handwriting of a talisman planter, and I got it by accident."
Guo Twelve knew that only a talisman master could make a Tibetan talisman. Of course he was interested in the talisman master's handwriting, but he didn't show any excitement on his face, and asked calmly, "How to change it?"
The man gritted his teeth and said, "Two thousand catties of meat!"
Before Guo Shishi could speak, someone beside him said in surprise, "Two thousand catties of meat for a set of talismans? It's too exaggerated."
"Bullying children!"
"… "
The man blushed, and knew that his price was too high. Seeing that Guo Shishi didn't speak, he couldn't hold his breath and said, "Then how much do you say?"
In fact, Guo Twelve was very willing in his heart, but he couldn't let the exchange price go up. This would cause too much damage to the people who own the food and would cause public outrage. He said: "500 catties of meat, plus 100 catties of flour." This number is also quite a lot. 100 catties of flour can be exchanged for 1000 catties of meat. The meat here is very cheap, and flour is a luxury.
The man said, "Change!"
Guo Twelve got two more cultivated Tibetan Talismans, and left with Zhang Dakui satisfied.
"Uncle Zhang, how much meat and noodles do you have left?"
"Eight hundred catties of meat and two hundred catties of noodles."
Zhang Dakui held a few bags of Tibetan talismans and said, "Twelve, in a few days... the price of meat and noodles will increase, is it too early?"
Guo Shishi shook his head and said, "You can't be too greedy. You can't buy it even if you have money. Haha, if it wasn't for the lack of food, they wouldn't change it."
Zhang Dakui asked, "Are we going home?"
Guo Shishi smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry to go back, let's go to Grandpa Xu's house." After he came back, he wanted to visit Xu Zaikun for a long time, but he was busy studying and cultivating, and he never had the chance. trip.
The courtyard where Xu Zaikun lived was different from that of his master Luo Jie. It was obviously much smaller, and his followers were not as many as those of his master. There were more than a dozen followers, as well as more than a dozen family members, apprentices and servants.
After the notification, a housekeeper greeted him.
Xu Zaikun was very happy to see Guo Twelve, and said, "Twelve, finally come to see me! Hehe, I thought you forgot..."
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "How can I forget, Grandpa, isn't my study heavy?"
Xu Zaikun pulled him to sit down and said, "Let's have dinner here at night."
Guo Twelve asked, "Grandpa, do you have enough food now?"
Xu Zaikun smiled bitterly: "It's all rations now, how can it be enough, but don't worry about Twelve, Grandpa is an alchemist, you can exchange high-level talismans for food, don't worry, I have an apprentice to change it, and he should be back soon. ."
"Master, I'm back."
Xu Zaikun found that Guo Shishi's expression was very strange, with a smile that was not a smile, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Guo Shishi restrained his smile and said, "No, it's fine."
I saw Wei Xian carrying the Tibetan Talisman bag and walking in beaming. When he saw Guo Shishi at a glance, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Huh? Why are you here?"
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "Why can't I be here?"
Mr. Xu gave up and shouted, "Wei Xian, what are you doing?"
Wei Xian shivered with fright, and laughed with him, "Hehe, master, the apprentice saw this little brother at the market just now, hehe, hehe..."
Xu Zaikun asked, "How much food did you exchange for four high-level talismans?"
Wei Xian said proudly, "I changed 2,000 catties of meat. Sigh, if I hadn't moved quickly, I almost couldn't even exchange 2,000 catties of meat."
The old man was taken aback and said, "What? It's just a little bit more? Just kidding, a high-level talisman can save a life at a critical moment. Usually it costs at least two thousand talismans, so I'm not sure I'm willing to sell it! For two thousand pounds? That's too little..." He regarded Guo Twelve as his own, and he didn't shy away from speaking at all.
Wei Xian said aggrievedly: "Master, you don't know, it can't be measured by money now. The price of this food has risen three times a day, and no one is willing to sell it. It can only be exchanged for something, and it is getting harder and harder to get it, right. Now, little brother, you know, you come and tell the master, alas, the master doesn't believe me..."
Guo Twelve knew that what Wei Xian said was watery, he looked at Wei Xian and grinned. Wei Xian broke into a cold sweat from his laughter, carrying Xu Zaikun on his back, and cupping his hands quietly, the meaning of asking for help was very obvious.
Guo Twelve smiled and said, "Grandpa, I brought a lot of food here. Haha, I gave it to Grandpa on purpose." He motioned Zhang Dakui to take out the talisman bag, and said with a smile, "There aren't many things, it's just one point of Twelve. Mind."
Xu Zaikun repeatedly said: "Hey, that's not good, how can I take your things? Besides, now the food is in short supply, I took it... What should you do?"
Guo Twelve said: "Grandpa, I got a lot of food from the master, enough to eat, hehe, just take it as my honor to your old man, accept it, or I will not dare to come in the future."
Although the gift was light, Guo Shishi's affection was very heavy. The old man was so moved that he said, "Hey, hey... I'll accept it, I'll accept it, good boy." He asked Wei Xian to take the talisman bag and said, "Wei Xian , this is Twelve, how close you should be in the future and help each other, you know?"
Wei Xian smiled and said attentively, "I know, Master, I know!" He ran out with the Tibetan Talisman Bag in hand. If it hadn't been interrupted by Guo Twelve, today's test would have been difficult.
In the evening, Guo Twelve stayed at Xu Zaikun's house and ate a sumptuous dinner, including two talisman dishes.
Guo Shishi has always had a question in his heart. He asked while eating: "Grandpa, there are so many people in Beifu City, where did the food come from?"
Xu Zaikun said: "Flour is basically brought in from outside, half of the meat is raised by Beifu City, and part of it is from hunting, and the other part is also brought in from outside, because there are Tibetan talisman bags for transportation, so Beifu City has never been short of food, and this year is special, and I believe the situation will improve soon."
Guo Twelve was puzzled and said, "Grandpa, why didn't I know there was such a big farm. Beifu City has a population of tens of millions, and they are all so edible. How many livestock do you need to raise?"
Xu Zaikun couldn't help laughing, he said: "It's not difficult, you know the beast rune gate, the beast rune gate has a rune method that can quickly and mass produce livestock, but this production method is only capable of being used by the big schools. "
Guo Shiqi said: "Since you have this ability, why not speed up production?"
Xu Zaikun said: "It takes time to adjust. I estimate that in about ten days, meat should be available for supply."
Guo Shishi was secretly shocked and asked, "So the flour is still not available?"
Xu Zaikun nodded, he was a little strange and asked, "Twelve, why are you interested in this?"
Guo Shishi is of course interested in this, this time making money depends on it. He has hoarded a large amount of food, half of which is meat, and once the supply is opened, it will be a loss. He smiled and said, "I'm just curious, hehe, grandpa, I got a lot of good stuff this time."
When Xu Zaikun saw the talisman book set by the talisman master, he was surprised: "This is the treasure of the talisman gate!" He said solemnly: "This must be kept, it doesn't matter in the inner door, you must not let it go out. Others saw it. I guess that this set of talisman planting books was snatched, but I don’t know how the man cracked it. Maybe he was lucky and found the talisman key at that time.”
Xu Zaikun urged thousands of times, and his love and love were beyond words.
That night, Guo Twelve stayed at Xu Zaikun's house.
The next day, Guo Shishi returned home and immediately asked his servants to invite Aunt Lan and Aunt Xin, and said, "Aunt Lan, the meat that our family has hoarded can be sold. According to the black market price, we will sell it as soon as possible within ten days. As long as ten days' supply is left, um, fifteen days' supply, and the flour will continue to be stockpiled, the price of that thing will go up."
Everyone is busy again. At this time, the meat is the most in short supply, so it was sold out as soon as it was pulled out. It starts with two big talismans per pound, and at the end of the sale, some people are even willing to spend four big talismans to buy a pound. At the time of the big purchase, a total of more than 7,000 talismans were spent on meat, and now it has increased by at least a hundred times, and nearly one million talismans have been made for meat alone.
Aunt Lan and Aunt Xin couldn't believe that they had made so much money in less than two months. The two of them admired Guo Twelve.
Guo Twelve had already arrived at his master Luo Jie's house at this time.
Luo Jie sat cross-legged on the floor leisurely, with a small low table in front of him, on which were several food talismans and a glass of old wine. He was drinking wine and eating talisman food with a relaxed and happy expression. When he saw Guo Twelve coming in, he smiled and said, "What a coincidence, you know that the master has something delicious? Come, sit down, someone, and set up a bowl. Chopsticks. Twelve, have a drink with the master."
Guo Twelve did not refuse, sat down with a smile, and asked, "Master, why are you so happy?"
Luo Jie said: "In a few days, you can sell the meat. It's too much for your family to eat."
Guo Twelve couldn't help laughing. He said, "Master, before I came, I asked Aunt Lan to help me sell it. It will take a few days to sell out."
Luo Jie took a sip of the old wine and sighed, "You kid... Hey, it's amazing, have you sold the flour yet?"
Guo Twelve said: "The flour... keep it for now."
Luo Jie couldn't help but patted Guo Shishi's head and said, "Sometimes I wonder, what is growing in your child's head? It doesn't look like a child. This time the master has touched your light, Made a lot of money, well, well… haha.”
Rollo came in suddenly and said, "I'm back!"
Luo Jie's face suddenly became serious, and he shouted, "You still know how to come back?"
