Chapter 1294 Snow Bug

The City of Dead Dead is still bustling, with caravans coming in and out every day, no matter day or night.

Unlike other big ports, although the City of Dead Dead is huge, there is almost no output of general life in it. Such things as food, meat, vegetables and fruits, cloth and ready-made clothes, etc., were all transported in from outside the city.

In fact, monks consume no less resources than ordinary people, and even for various reasons, their requirements for "quality" are generally higher than ordinary people.

Wuliangye is the most popular consumable in Wushi City. The price is nearly double the normal price outside, but the supply is still in short supply. Sometimes you can even hear some stupid batches holding Lingshi and wanting to buy Wuliangye yelling.

Of course, if you believe in such things as exchanging spirit stones for wine, you will be fooled. It's people like you who don't have a brain who are being lied to.

Wuliangye was in short supply, so other second-class liquors under the brand name of "spirits" flocked to fill the market that could only be second-best. Nearly 20% of the goods in the convoy entering the city every day are alcohol.

The consumption of the monks is only a part of the dead city. Although ordinary people are all laying the foundation for the monks in the city, they also need to rely on foreign materials to survive. Food and clothing, these must be indispensable.

Therefore, under such a deformed environment, the most prosperous business is about to come out. That's right, it's a car and horse trip.

The chariots and horses are not only a bridge to communicate with the outside world, but also deeply rooted in every aspect of the city. Even the three leaders who control the root of the dead city can't get around them.

Unlike alchemy and weapon refining, the way of monks, the way of chariots and horses seems simple but is actually very deep, requiring a lot of time and experience to explore and pave the way. So even though the chariot and horse dealers are the most prosperous business in the city of vain death, this business has always been in the hands of several car dealers in Jingjiu dynasty, and has not been swallowed up by the various sects in the city of vain death.

It's not that I don't want to, but compared to other businesses, the business of the car and horse dealership is too troublesome and cumbersome, and no one takes it.

But the big merchants who travel all over the world are never tired of doing business in the city of death. Doing business with monks is very straightforward, and you don't care too much about money. As long as the goods are good and the goods arrive quickly and steadily, you basically don't have to worry about other moths, which is much more worry-free than doing business in other places.

However, horses and chariots can't gain a firm foothold in the city of vain death just by importing and exporting goods. The relationship in all aspects still needs to be done well. In particular, the stewards and deacon disciples of the foreign affairs hall of the three leaders need to be properly managed from time to time, otherwise many things will still be inconvenient.

Therefore, all the car and horse dealers doing business in Wushi City have their own "deputies". These deputy commanders don't command the convoy, nor are they responsible for the internal management of the convoy, and they don't even need to run around with the convoy, they just need to stay in the city of Wushi to maintain the relationship between the local sects.

After a long time, although these "deputies" are not considered "big men" in the city of vain death, they are definitely a little thin-faced. They may not be able to do big things, but some small things can still be done.

For example, isn't it the time for the opening of the underground palace once a year again recently, and the sects in the Jingjiu Dynasty rushed over one after another. For most of the monks at the bottom of the city of vain death, this is just "lively", and it has nothing to do with them at all.

But this year, there is a new topic.

"Have you heard? There are people collecting "Snow Worms" everywhere in the city, and the price has soared to one low-grade spirit stone!"

"Impossible? Although that stuff is rare, it is said to be the best food, but in the end it is not that spiritual things can't increase aura. It would be good to sell more silver, and it can be exchanged for spiritual stones? I don't believe it."

"Tsk, don't you believe me? You know Liu Biao, the deputy head of Hengshun Car and Horse Company? Early this morning, he asked from restaurant to restaurant, and the price has soared all the way to a piece of low-grade spirit stone, and he even said that he would at least pay for it. Ten!"

"Liu Biao? He really said that? Then it can't be faked. But ten? One snow worm weighs one or two catties. Can he finish eating so much?"

"Brother! Am I talking about eating too much?! I'm talking about Lingshi! Don't you want it?"

"I think so, but you can catch snow worms? Those things are going to be caught and extinct. I haven't seen them alive for several years anyway. Let's just watch this Lingshi for fun."

"No, I have to go around and try my luck. If I find it, I'll post it. It's more profitable than if we lay here and help people carve signs for a year!"

Snow Worm, a big snow-white worm, lives in the ground around Wushi City in a fleshy way, and feeds on a special local plant "Snow Lamp Grass". The meat is delicious, and it is known as the number one delicacy in the dead city, and some people even put it at the top of the world's delicacy.

But the reputation of the snow worm is in vain. The city is very high, not to mention eating it in the Jingjiu Dynasty, almost few people have heard of it.

Because it is so delicious, the number of snow worms has always been rare. If it is not for the rapid reproduction, it is estimated that they will be eaten up.

But no matter how rare it is, no matter how delicious it is, it is just an ordinary food, at most it is considered a delicacy, and the selling price is considered a gold ticket, isn't it great? But this time, the direct price tag has reached the low-grade spirit stone, which is outrageous.

Wouldn't it be a routine with "Wuliangye for Lingshi"? Are you a fool? However, this kind of doubt quickly disappeared under the name of "Liu Biao, the deputy head of Hengshun Chariot and Horse Company". Everyone knows that people in the car and horse dealership can't talk nonsense, and they still need face for serious business.

But why the sudden rush? Isn't it a loss that the price of something that can be solved with money has soared to the level of low-grade spirit stones because of the rush? So Liu Biao is so stupid?

of course not.

Soon the reason why Liu Biao, deputy head of Hengshun Car and Horse Company, was found out the reason why he collected the snow worms, and it was not really a secret. That is: flattering.

It is said that among the monks of the Jingjiu Dynasty who came to open the Underground Palace of the City of Unnecessary Death this time, there is a big man who is different from previous years: the commander of the Black Banner Battalion of Xuanqingwei and the chief deacon of foreign affairs of Fenghong Villa, Shen Hao, Master Shen.

That Mr. Shen likes delicious food, and he wanted to have a taste of it after arriving in Wushi City, but Xue Chong had to try his luck, so he didn't get his wish yet. Doesn't this give Hengshun the opportunity to flatter? By paying a high price, firstly, the ingredients can be received as soon as possible, and secondly, it can also show the weight of this flattery.

In the end, just ten low-grade spirit stones are indeed a lot of wealth for ordinary people or low-level monks. But for Hengshun Car and Horse Company, it's just so-so.

Now that it was proved that this was not a trick set up by someone, many people were tempted. They left their work and ran around to find snow worms. Hurry up, people only need ten pieces, if you are slow, you can only sell silver coins instead of spirit stones.

ps: This is today's update. At the same time, I would like to thank the leader of the "Oracle of Holy Light" for rewarding.

Finally, I wish you all a happy new year!
