Jiang Chaoge has always been a person with strong self-discipline and perseverance. He believes that he will definitely stick to one thing to the end, otherwise he will not do anything. It's just that his cultivation path is accompanied by many obstacles...
"I want to go out." Zhi Xuan slapped Jiang Chaoge's thigh.
Jiang Chaoge opened his eyes, his golden pupils stared at him without blinking, "Where are you going?"
"I don't know, I'm going out to play."
"I'm practicing."
"No, I want to go out." Zhi Xuan's little paws grabbed his collar, trying to drag him out of bed, "Take me to buy wine, buy food, and then let me eat steamed buns and I will kill you."
Jiang Chaoge propped his chin and played with his long soft hair, "Can't you not eat or drink?"
"I want to eat and drink."
Jiang Chaoge took a deep breath and recited in his heart the word he had to recite many times a day: Forbearance! He pressed Zhi Xuan's slender shoulders, "Ancestor, let's agree first, you can go out, but you can't take what you see."
Zhi Xuan narrowed his eyes, "Why?"
"I have no money."
"Those foolish people should send things to me, or I'll eat them all!"
Jiang Chaoge pinched his face, "Who are you eating, who are you eating, you are only so old now."
Zhi Xuan reached out and wanted to slap him, but his arms were not long enough, and his legs were kicking vigorously in anger.
"Okay, okay, I'll buy you wine and delicious food, but you can't take things around, I'll take you out now, okay?"
Zhi Xuan gritted his teeth and gave him a vicious expression, but with that round face, it was really funny.
Jiang Chaoge put on his clothes and went out with Zhi Xuan in his arms.
It has been five days since he came to Hu'an City. He has spent all his time in cultivation these days. The dozens of copper coins he earned last time have almost been eaten up these days, and Meng Sheng began to take them with them again. Steamed bun. He felt that it was time to find a way to make some money, otherwise even this ancestor would not be able to support him.
Zhi Xuan likes to go out and play very much, Jiang Chaoge can understand, if he sleeps for many years, when he wakes up, the whole world has changed, and everything he sees will be fresh.
"This, give me this." Zhi Xuan patted Jiang Chaoge's arm and called out, pointing at a small sugar pill.
Jiang Chaoge saw that Little Candy had a copper coin, so he bought one for him.
Zhi Xuan took it and licked it twice, "Bah, it's unpalatable." He was about to throw it away.
"Give it to me, don't waste it." Jiang Chaoge took it and took a bite. It was sweet enough to kill people, but thinking that they were so poor, he still ate it.
"That." Zhi Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed again.
Jiang Chaoge saw that it was a fur hat, which was expensive at first glance, "I can't afford it."
Zhi Xuan grabbed his ear and said angrily, "Making money is a waste."
"Sold you?"
"you dare!"
Due to the high volume of the two of them, everyone around them looked sideways and talked a lot, "This child is really spoiled, it's just outrageous."
"That's right, it's a pity that he looks so good-looking, and he actually called his father a 'trash' at such a young age..."
Just as Zhi Xuan was about to have a seizure, Jiang Chaoge hurriedly covered his mouth and sneered: "My child's mother died early, I was spoiled." After saying that, he hugged Zhi Xuan and ran away.
After Zhi Xuan pushed his hand away, he shouted, "I want to eat..."
"Okay, who do you want to eat? You can't finish an apple."
Zhi Xuan's eyes were burning with flames, he gritted his teeth and said, "Wait until I recover my true body..."
"You're going to eat me first, I know."
Zhi Xuan stared at him for a long time, then opened his mouth and bit his neck.
Jiang Chaoge was used to him going mad at any time, this little beast's self-esteem is really strong enough.
Zhi Xuan took a bite out of his anger, and then let go of his mouth. Jiang Chaoge was bleeding when he touched his neck, and it was still stained with the saliva of the little beast.
Zhi Xuan snorted without any guilt, "Buy me wine."
Jiang Chaoge was about to speak when suddenly, a familiar voice called "Big Brother" from behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was a peddler who had helped sell beads a few days ago.
The hawker ran over with a look of surprise, "Brother, I've been looking for you for several days."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Why are you looking for me? How is the business these days?"
The peddler said with a smile, "I've learned from your example to sell things, and I've made more money these days than in the past few months. Brother, you are really my nobleman. By the way, brother, I haven't asked your name yet. My name is Sun An."
"My name is Jiang Chaoge."
"Big Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Hey, do you want to earn more?"
Sun An nodded like pounding garlic.
"Come on, invite me to dinner, let's talk."
The three walked into a restaurant, and Sun An praised rather blindly: "Brother, is this your son? I have never seen such a beautiful child when I grew up."
Jiang Chaoge covered Zhi Xuan's mouth and whispered, "Don't talk if you want to drink."
Zhi Xuan gave him a white look, and it was really quiet, sitting on Jiang Chaoge's lap, playing with chopsticks.
Sun An excitedly talked about how he was selling things these days. At first, he felt embarrassed, but after letting go, he felt that the whole person was different.
Jiang Chaoge also discovered that his sad face was much more pleasing to the eye in just a few days.
It seems that Sun An really made a little money, ordered a table of dishes, and two pots of wine.
Jiang Chaoge poured a small cup of wine and handed it to Zhi Xuan.
Sun An said in surprise, "Brother, why did you give him a drink?"
"It's okay, I've been drinking since I was a kid."
Zhi Xuan took the wine glass and drank it all in one go, which shocked both of them.
After eating a glass of wine, Zhi Xuan's little face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. He stuck out his tongue and showed his first smile in so many days.
Although Jiang Chaoge hated this arrogant child, he had to admit that this arrogant child was too good-looking. I wonder if it was an alien beast transformed into a human form, and he would look so extraordinary. When he smiled, he had the illusion that a hundred flowers were blooming.
Zhi Xuan put the wine cup on his face in one fell swoop.
Jiang Chaoge poured him another glass of wine, and then simply gave him the entire jug.
Sun An looked surprised, "Big brother..."
"Don't worry about him, let's get down to business."
"Oh, you said."
"What did the morning market you mentioned last time sell?"
"Everything is there. The biggest morning market is once every seven days. The whole street runs through the east and west of Hu'an City. It can't be finished in half a day."
"Oh? When is the next morning market? Take me there."
"It's a coincidence, it's tomorrow."
"Okay, let's meet at this restaurant tomorrow morning, and I'll see if there's anything good. You pay, I'll make an idea, and I promise you won't regret it."
Sun An said cheerfully: "Brother, I believe in you!"
Zhi Xuan took a few sips while holding the jug, Jiang Chaoge couldn't stand it any longer, "Aren't you going to eat some food?"
Zhi Xuan turned a deaf ear.
"Is this wine that good?"
Zhi Xuan gave him a white look, "Can't you just afford this kind of thing, I'll drink it reluctantly." After speaking, he burped.
Jiang Chaoge unceremoniously ate a full meal, and took away the unfinished package. He held Zhi Xuan who was dizzy in one hand and the meal in the other, and walked home.
As soon as he entered the door, Meng Sheng ran over in a panic, "Where have you been?"
"I went out for a meal, now, I brought it back for you."
Meng Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't run around if you have nothing to do in the future. This place is only 700 miles away from Tian'ao City, and it is the largest port city in the central region. Prince Shu is likely to come here."
Jiang Chaoge shrugged, "It's the little ancestor who insisted on going out to play."
"Did you give him a drink?"
"He wanted to..." Before Jiang Chaoge could finish his words, Zhi Xuan suddenly shrank his stomach and spat at him with a thud.
Jiang Chaoge's face turned blue and white for a while, this was the only suit that fit him.
Zhi Xuan hugged his neck and looked at him drunkenly, "Water, I want to drink water."
Jiang Chaoge carried him to the water room, and as soon as he entered the room, he cleaned him up and put it in the bathtub, wanting to wash him.
Zhi Xuan fluttered and wanted to stand up: "Fool, who would allow you to touch me!"
Jiang Chaoge pressed him back into the bathtub, "You are so dirty that you spit all over your hair, do you want to sleep like this?"
Zhi Xuan stared at him for a while, "Just this time."
Jiang Chaoge poured water on his head and body with a scoop of water. The water was cold, but fortunately Zhi Xuan was not afraid of heat and cold.
Zhi Xuan sat in the bathtub, half-squinted his eyes and fell asleep, "Yumin, wash my hair and use that scented thing..."
Jiang Chaoge looked at him naked, dangling like a fat white tumbler, and couldn't help but want to laugh. He carefully cleaned Zhi Xuan's body and hair, and stroked the soft tender flesh with his fingers. He couldn't help but sigh, if he had children, wouldn't he be so small and soft? It's a pity that he had already planned not to have a son and a half daughter in this life. How could he be a good parent who was abandoned since he was a child.
After washing and washing, Zhi Xuan fell asleep in the bathtub, his long eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow on his eye sockets, his nose flaps gently, and his breathing was soft and even.
After wiping Zhi Xuan clean and putting it on the bed, he also took a shower, and then cleaned both of their clothes.
Zhi Xuan's body was still as hot as a small stove, Jiang Chaoge hugged him for a while, his body quickly warmed up, and gradually he fell into a dream.
The next morning, Jiang Chaoge said hello to Meng Sheng, and took Zhi Xuan to find Sun An. After meeting with Sun An, they walked to Morning Market Street.
Zhi Xuan slept all night and was in a very good spirit. When he walked to the morning market street, he saw the dazzling array of shops and stalls on both sides of the Wuli Long Street. Which one do you refer to first.
Jiang Chaoge sighed, "It's so lively."
Sun An smiled and said, "Brother, everything you can think of can be found here."
"Are there many Horcruxes here too?"
"Of course, but we can't buy Horcruxes, there are many fakes."
Jiang Chaoge passed a large shop that sold animal bones and skins. There were many people looking for items, but most of the people were looking at those scattered and unformed bones. Jiang Chaoge asked: "They What are you picking?"
Sun Anqi said, "Brother, where did you come from? You don't know this?"
Jiang Chaoge suddenly became alert, "My hometown is in a small fishing village in the south, and I have never been to a big city."
"Really, big brother doesn't seem to have seen the world before."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "I really haven't seen it before."
Sun An did not suspect him, and explained enthusiastically: "This shop is a famous animal bone shop in our city of Hu'an, specializing in selling raw materials for making Horcruxes. In fact, not only bones, but also fur, skins, tendons, and the like. Anyway, there are a lot of good things, but they are all very expensive. Those scattered and unformed are the materials that the boss collects from various places. Many bosses don’t know what they are. People often come to these places to buy treasures. I picked out a good material from the mess and sent it out at once. I remember that last year, there was a half-hearted Horcruxist who spent thirty copper coins to buy a collar beard leg bone from this store. , made an earth-level soul weapon, and sold five hundred silver coins at the auction, which is enough for several years."
Jiang Chaoge was quite moved. He remembered that Meng Sheng had talked to him about these Taobao people. It is not enough to have soul power to do this kind of business, but also to have knowledge, and you can't confuse the bones of ghosts with the bones of poultry. And even if you can recognize the bone of a beast, buying it is a big risk, because a beast soul can only be sealed by one type of Horcrux, that is, if someone has made a Horcrux from the leg bone of a beast , then it is impossible for other people to use other parts of the beast to make Horcruxes, so the bones of the beasts bought with money, the beast souls may have already been occupied, in fact, this is gambling, just like gambling stones. No one knows whether the things bought with money are precious jade or stones. But there are still a lot of people who rely on this for a living. After all, most people can't afford to sell a complete body of a monster. Just like the Horcrux Master Sun An said, it is enough to bet once.
Sun An tugged at him, "Brother, let's go, I'll show you around, do you think we can do some small business?"
Jiang Chaoge followed Sun An around in the morning market, Zhi Xuan began to ask for this and that again, and after being blocked by Jiang Chaoge for a few words, he turned his head and went sulking.
The two strolled tirelessly all morning and looked at the whole street. In the end, Jiang Chaoge became interested in the same thing called Mingling Grass.
This is a kind of wild grass that can be seen everywhere on the mountain. It is cheap, but it is an important material for making Horcruxes. When making Horcruxes, the Horcruxist uses the introduction and spirit power to summon the beast soul, which is sealed in the Horcrux. There are many plants, spar, insects, etc. Among them, the ghost grass is the cheapest and common one. Although it can be replaced by other things, it is expensive and has similar functions. Therefore, the ghost grass is all souls. The Maker's Choice. The ghost grass for making Horcruxes cannot be fresh, it must be irradiated by the scorching sun and moonlight for forty-nine days before entering the introduction. Due to the low cost, there are vendors selling ghost grass everywhere. This kind of small thing has never attracted attention, but Jiang Chaoge saw a business opportunity here.
He grabbed a handful of dried spirit grass and asked Sun An, "How many people in Hu'an City sell the spirit grass?"
"There are too many. This grassy mountain can be seen everywhere. It can be sold for money when it is dried. Most people are reluctant to go up the mountain to harvest it. It is too far away, and it is especially difficult to make a living by selling the ghost grass."
"How much would it cost to buy all the ghost grasses in the morning market?"
Sun An was taken aback, "Brother, why are you buying so much?"
"you answer me first."
Sun An scratched his hair, "I don't know. There are only five copper coins in such a bundle. There are almost a hundred bundles in one stall? Five silver coins can buy them all."
"Let's go from the beginning to the end, are there fifty stalls selling the ghost grass?"
"have it."
"Then as long as there are two or three hundred silver coins, you can buy all the ghost grass in the morning market, right?"
Sun An's eyes widened, "Brother, I understand what you want to do, but where are we going to get two or three hundred silver coins. I have never seen so much money in my life."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "I walked around, and this is the smallest dish. It doesn't cost a single gold coin to buy the entire dish of Mingling Grass in Hu'an City. This is an excellent opportunity, Sun An."
Sun An nodded and shook his head again, "But, big brother..."
"Let me think of a way. Before the next morning market arrives, you can help me find out about all the stalls selling ghost grass in Hu'an City. If you trust me, follow me. I guarantee you will earn enough for half your life. spending."
Sun An gritted his teeth, "Brother, I believe you."
Jiang Chaoge patted his face, "Good job, don't tell anyone, if you want to find me, come to the sixth family in Scorpion Lane in the west of the city."
After asking for some money from Sun An, the two separated. Jiang Chaoge weighed the money bag, "Little Ancestor, don't be angry, what do you want to buy?"
Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes, "You poor bastard can afford anything."
"You can still buy food."
Zhi Xuan stretched out his hand, "That grilled sausage looks good."
Jiang Chaoge immediately went to buy one for him.
Zhi Xuan's brows stretched out, and he went shopping while eating. When passing by an animal bone shop, he wrinkled his nose, "The smell of raccoon force."
"what?"
"Lily, it looks like a pig, and its claws are like chickens. I have eaten it before, and it tastes good." Zhi Xuan took a bite of the grilled sausage, recalling the delicious taste he had eaten before.
"Where?"
Zhi Xuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the pile of scattered bones.
Jiang Chaoge walked over with him in his arms, "Which one? Be more specific?"
Zhi Xuan glared at him, "Why? There are only bones left."
"You can smell only bones left?"
"certainly."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Lord Zhi Xuan, tell me it's just the bones of the raccoon, how about I buy you a good pot of wine?"
Zhi Xuan's eyes lit up, "You put me down, I can smell it."
Jiang Chaoge put him on the stall, Zhi Xuan walked back and forth, and picked out a half-meter-long bone, "This."
Jiang Chaoge's eyes lit up, "Boss, how much is this?"
The boss touched his chin, "This is a big bone, fifty copper coins."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "No matter how big the bone is, it can only be used as a broom. The key is to see if it is good animal material. I will bet twenty copper coins."
"Thirty, no bargaining."
"Just twenty." Jiang Chaoge looked at him with a smile.
"Okay, okay, take it."
Jiang Chaoge gave the boss all the money in his pocket, took the bones and left.
Zhi Xuan shouted: "Wine, buy me wine."
Jiang Chaoge touched his pocket, "Oh, I'm running out of money, can I buy it for you another day?"
Zhi Xuan's eyes lit up, he grabbed his hair and shouted, "You dare to lie to me, I'm going to eat you—"
