After talking things over with the Dragon Emperor, Jiang Lin asked Huaiyin to look after the shop while he went back to the Shennong tribe.
Emperor Yan had said before that no one should contact him unless it was something serious, but Jiang Lin felt that the incident in the East China Sea was a serious matter.
He sent a message to Emperor Yan without any burden, and within two minutes, he saw the void being torn apart and two people walked out from it.
"Father, Mother." Jiang Lin sensed a familiar scent and rushed over with a smile.
Shennong's wife Yuannu was a woman who looked very delicate and gentle. She had fair skin and her hair was carefully groomed and braided into exquisite little braids. She wore a grass green long skirt that was completely different in style from other women in the tribe.
Jiang Lin knew that her mother loved beauty, and that this skirt was made for his wife by Yan Emperor using his divine power by collecting the essence of hundreds of herbs.
Of course, if anyone looked down on Yuannu because of her appearance, the beauty's iron fist would eventually teach him a lesson.
"Jiang." As soon as Yuannu saw Jiang Lin, she came over and hugged him warmly.
Jiang Lin: “…”
Well, standing in front of Emperor Yan, Yuannu, who looked very slender and gentle, was still taller than the 1.8-meter-tall little cutie.
He got out of the other's arms helplessly, and was grabbed by Yan Di again. He weighed it and frowned: "Why does it seem lighter?"
There is a kind of thinness when your father thinks you are thin and you can't refute it.
Jiang Lin remained silent and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, Father, Mother, I contacted you this time because of something important."
He told the story of how he met Ziqi when he went to the East Sea, and said, "Ziqi is indeed a spy from the Tusu tribe. He went to the East Sea to promote an alliance between the Tusu tribe and the East Sea."
"Alliance?" Emperor Yan really found it incredible. "The East Sea is far away from the earth, and the sea people don't need to live on land. What's the point of their alliance?"
"Who would complain about having too many territories?" Jiang Lin didn't care. "Even if some people can see clearly, there are always people who don't see clearly."
"Besides, benefits can move people's hearts." Jiang Lin said, "What if the Tusu tribe offers enough benefits to get the East Sea Region to help?"
You know, although most of the people in the East China Sea are ordinary sea creatures, they cannot stay on land for a long time due to their own race.
But in fact, a small number of sea creatures with powerful bloodlines, especially the top dragon clan, are the most powerful fighting force in the East China Sea.
Emperor Yan laughed when he heard this: "What good things can the Tusu tribe come up with? Also, can that conceited guy from the Tusu clan take the initiative to think of forming an alliance with others?"
Although he is not a mean person, having a powerful opponent staring at him every day is something that even the best-tempered person would get annoyed by.
What's more, the Tu Su tribe themselves believes in the God of Frost, and the god they believe in determines the kind of life they will live.
Instead of thinking about how to live a good life every day, you stare at the Shennong tribe every day and imagine that it’s no big deal that others have stolen their food and land.
It has to be said that Yan Emperor understood his opponent best.
Based on Jiang's memory and the details of this meeting with Zi Qi, Jiang Lin speculated that the person who really held power in the Tu Su tribe had no intention of cooperating with the Sea Clan at all.
This matter was probably figured out by Ziqi himself.
I have to say that his idea is correct and he is indeed a smart person.
But the same thing goes: whether it was towards Jiang or Ao Yue, his methods were a bit despicable.
If one can't even act uprightly, he is really unworthy of being accepted by the upper class.
"Indeed, he wanted to form an alliance, but he couldn't offer the corresponding benefits, so he couldn't even meet the Dragon Emperor."
Jiang Lin changed the subject: "But my son had an unexpected surprise when he went to the East China Sea this time."
"Um?"
Jiang Lin told others that he opened a shop in the East China Sea, was very popular among the sea people, and had met the Dragon Emperor.
"I discovered that the food grown by our Shennong tribe is good for the health of the sea people."
"Besides, the food from our Shennong tribe is very precious in the East China Sea, and the price is also very expensive."
"Similarly, the East Sea also has many things that the Shennong Tribe doesn't have."
"They have countless pearls and gems, beautiful shark silk, many delicious foods from the deep sea, and textile technology that is more advanced than ours. Oh, and their sea water can be dried into salt! It tastes like the juice of the yellow grass and can be used as a seasoning for food!"
There are many more that Jiang Lin couldn't name in one breath, for example, the sea people were born with a talent for aesthetic arts. Not only did they have advanced textile technology, but they were also much better than the Shennong tribe in construction, clothing, and enjoyment of life.
Yandi was worthy of being Yandi. He quickly understood what Jiang Lin meant from his words: "You mean, our Shennong tribe and the East Sea can cooperate?"
Jiang Lin nodded: "Yes, we both have good things that the other side doesn't have. If we can exchange them, it will definitely be a win-win situation."
Shennong looked at his son inquiringly. For so many years, he had always treated his youngest son as a delicate treasure that needed to be cared for. He did not realize that his son had grown to such a size without him noticing.
He was very pleased: "Jiang, you have grown up. Moreover, you are smarter than your brothers and sisters. Even I have never thought of these things."
Jiang Lin shook his head.
He just knew the plot, and he had been through countless things in the future. Compared with people today, he can be said to be standing on the shoulders of giants. That's why he had so many "weird ideas" in today's terms.
"I just happened to arrive in the East China Sea and opened a store. I was lucky enough to be known by the Dragon King." Jiang Lin was not shameless enough to take credit for it. He smiled and said, "The most important thing is that we have a lot of good things in the Shennong tribe. This is all thanks to my father!"
"Yes." The last sentence made Emperor Yan very happy. "We have a lot of good things in the Shennong tribe. They are not comparable to the Tu Su clan."
"However, this is not just my achievement, it is the result of the efforts of millions of people in the Shennong tribe."
With Shennong's approval, it was very convenient for Jiang Lin to do some things.
Shennong had secretly communicated with the Dragon Emperor at some point in time. On the second day after chatting with Jiang Lin, a "teleportation array" that could lead directly to Haicheng appeared at a place on the edge of the Shennong tribe's territory, and an additional team of elite warriors was stationed there.
He quickly recruited the first group of people who were willing to "explore" the East China Sea. Then, with a large amount of supplies, the first group of "merchants" from the Shennong tribe, who later became famous, settled in Haicheng.
There is strength in numbers.
Within three days, the Shennong tribe bought a dilapidated street in Haicheng, completed the renovation of the storefronts, changed the name to "Shennong Specialties", and hung a flag with a golden rice ear above each store.
Such a big commotion naturally attracted the attention of countless people.
Jiang Lin's previous shop first attracted Ao Ning, and then many sea nobles.
Later, Princess Ao Yue came in person. Finally, there were even rumors that the Dragon King had appeared in the store.
Nowadays, Shennong specialty stores have become a popular trend in Haicheng and even the entire Hai tribe. If you don't know about Shennong Tribe Specialty Store and you haven't bought anything from it, then you are out of date.
And now, a whole street of Shennong specialties appeared in Haicheng. How could it not cause a sensation
On the first day the store officially opened, the street in Haicheng was flooded by a surging crowd of people.
Moreover, people soon discovered that these newly opened shops were indeed all occupied by people from the Shennong tribe, and the things they sold were all good things, and the prices were even cheaper than those of the shop opened by Jiang Lin before.
So what are you hesitating about
Buy it!
The Shennong tribe became an instant hit in Haicheng and even in the entire East China Sea.
The first group of people from Shennong tribe who followed Jiang Lin here quite liked Haicheng.
Most of the sea creatures are beautiful, with relatively slender bodies. They speak softly and are generous in their actions. It is very comfortable to deal with them.
The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is...
"Does this guy have a partner?"
"How old are you, are you free tonight, and would you like to go with me to watch the tides?"
"Does the girl prefer pearls or gems?"
"… "
When Jiang Lin was selecting people, he took into consideration that the first group of people who arrived would probably be very busy with business, and that they would have to repair the shop and move goods, so he deliberately chose young people.
Both men and women in the Shennong tribe are tall and straight, with well-defined muscles and heroic faces.
How could the romantic and passionate sea creatures let it go when they saw it
They don't care about being reserved. They just say what they like directly, which makes many young men and women in the Shennong tribe feel at a loss.
Finally, Jiang Lin added a rule to all store rules: "Customers are not allowed to harass staff during working hours, and violators are prohibited from entering the store." This curbed this trend.
It took about a month to finish all this.
Jiang Lin picked a sunny day when he wanted to beat someone up, and took Zong Yu, a little tail who insisted on following him, to find the hut where Zi Qi was recuperating.
Or maybe Ao Yue is a good partner. After a breakup fight, when she saw Zi Qi, the scumbag, half dead, she was kind enough to find an empty room for him to lie down and recuperate, to avoid him dying outside.
Jiang Lin naturally found out the location of the house easily.
Ziqi was able to sit up with difficulty.
He had a miserable month.
After being beaten half to death by Ao Yue and thrown in the house, Long Nu did not consider that he needed care. So Zi Qi lay on the simple bed for a month, unable to move, and no one even brought him food.
Fortunately, the human race in this world is relatively tenacious, and their physical fitness is more favored by heaven and earth than the "human race" in later generations. They will not die if they do not eat or drink for a month, and they also avoid the trouble of meeting physiological needs. However, people will be much weaker and their injuries will recover much more slowly.
When Jiang Lin arrived, he saw Zi Qi, who was pale and haggard.
When Zi Qi saw Jiang Lin, his already pale face turned even paler, as if he was about to die on the spot.
"You, you... Jiang? Why are you here?" Ziqi looked at him warily.
As soon as he asked, he saw Zong Yu standing next to Jiang Lin.
He still remembered Zong Yu, who was standing next to Jiang Lin at that time.
Ziqi reacted immediately, his eyes suddenly filled with anger: "You are the shop owner! You are lying to me!"
Jiang Lin laughed: "Finally I've seen what it means when the bad guys complain first. Who lied to me that I was from a small tribe, and tried to cheat my feelings and take my life, and finally escaped from the Shennong tribe in a panic? Do you need me to repeat it to you?"
Ziqi's face turned pale, and he tried to stand up but hurt his wound. Only then did he realize his situation and said softly, "Jiang, you misunderstood me. I have my reasons, and I really like you."
