Main Text Chapter 857 Xiahou Longcheng's Guarantee

However, the grocery store has undergone great changes. The original three floors have been turned into five floors. The neighboring shops across the street behind the grocery store have been integrated together, crossing a small street, and houses have also been built. More impressive.

It looks like I made money! Miao Yi murmured in his heart. He didn't know whether the grocery store still recognized him or not.

Zhongli Kuai looked at the sign of the grocery store and was speechless. He said, "There really is a grocery store. It seems that the business is not bad. It's interesting!"

What he meant by interesting was that the front was full of small signs indicating the quantities and prices of various items. It was clear at a glance what was on sale in the grocery store.

The streets are no longer as bustling and crowded as they used to be, but there is an endless stream of customers coming in and out of the grocery store. These are real customers, and it is more lively and lively than back then.

Miao Yi looked around and didn't know where to enter the door, so he had to lead Zhongli Kuai into the main trading hall. The area for customers to wait and rest in the front hall was also expanded, and various elegant potted plants were placed. It's exquisite, people coming and going outside can't easily see what's going on inside, the decoration is also meticulously crafted, and the quality has indeed gone up.

A lot of tables and chairs were added to the hall, and special people were hired to pour tea and water for waiting customers. The service was very attentive.

The original counter has been cancelled, leaving only ten windows. Customers who came in took the jade plates with numbers on them and wrote down what they wanted to buy. They put them in through the funnel next to the window and sat aside. rest.

"Number one thousand and ninety-six!" A number was called from behind a window.

Someone among the waiting customers immediately went to the call window. When the person passes by, the things he wants have been prepared for him in the background. He can go to the window to pay and confirm the things, and then leave directly.

It can be seen that there is a dedicated person behind to quickly load the required goods according to the required things on the number plate.

The sound of howls from ten windows came and went. The customers who came in did not need to say anything from beginning to end, they came and left quietly. No one knew what they bought, and confidentiality was very good.

"The business here is quite interesting." Zhongli clicked his tongue twice.

Miao Yi thought to himself that if the number plates came in order, he would have done more than a thousand orders in just half the morning. It seemed that the business was indeed good. And it seems that the transaction methods in grocery stores are also more formal and orderly.

Miao Yi walked directly towards a window. Someone immediately came to stop him and said with a smile, "Dear guests, please take your number and line up."

Miao Yi could tell by looking at his clothes that he was not an upright person. He was obviously hired, otherwise he would not recognize himself.

"I'm not here to buy anything." Miao Yi walked to the window and knocked on it.

A face inside glanced at him, and suddenly said in surprise: "Bulk Niu!" He quickly turned around and said, "The layman is back. The layman is back."

soon. A closed door opened in the middle of the window. This door will not be opened when nothing is wrong.

Pauline came out and saluted with a look of surprise on her face: "Businessman!"

Zhongli burst into laughter. It seemed that this boy was not lying to him. He was indeed from here.

Miao Yi frowned and said, "Baolian, where is the gate? Why can't I even find the gate into the yard? You won't let me climb over the wall to get in, right?"

"The door opens on the street behind." Pauline replied and quickly extended her hand to invite in.

"This is my friend!" Miao Yi introduced him casually. He knew that the door in the front room where transactions were conducted would not be opened normally because it was not a place for entry and exit. There are a large number of items in the back, and outsiders are not allowed to enter in order to prevent loss.

When something happened, Baolian made an exception and let Zhongli Kuai go in. The door was then locked.

When I got inside, I saw, sure enough, a group of people sitting in the back were quickly loading the goods needed by customers according to the number plates that had been slid in in advance.

"Householder!" A group of people stood up and saluted Miao Yi.

Miao Yi nodded, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you are busy with your business."

Zhongli clicked his tongue twice. It was obvious that this boy seemed to have quite a status here.

Baolian led the two of them out of the backstage of the transaction and to the yard behind, where they met Taoist Master Deming, who was also the shopkeeper here.

I don't know if it was because he had been doing business for a long time, but Taoist Master Deming seemed to have a little shrewdness on his face. This is how Miao Yi felt.

Seeing Miao Yi, Taoist Master Deming was very surprised and walked out of the pavilion quickly, "The layman is back!"

Miao Yi glanced at the people in the pavilion, "Does the Taoist priest have guests?"

Taoist Master Deming: "It's a merchant who supplies goods. Where have the lay people been these years?"

"It's hard to explain in words!" Miao Yi waved his hand and asked, "Is Master Yuxu here?"

"Upstairs, layman, wait a moment." Taoist Master Deming paused and quickly returned to the pavilion to ask the guests to wait. He then led Miao Yi upstairs. When he saw Zhong Likuai following him, he naturally asked for advice. "Who is this?"

Miao Yi smiled and said, "My friend is from Tianxing Palace."

Tianxing Palace? Taoist Master Deming was surprised. Tianxing Palace is a top sect in the world of spiritual practice. The Zhengqi Sect is simply not worth mentioning in front of others. It is not even qualified to carry shoes for others. He immediately saluted and said: "What happened just now?" If you are negligent, please respect me and don’t blame me, Deming, a third-generation disciple of Pindao Zhengqi Sect!”

At the same time, he displayed a golden lotus between his eyebrows, taking the initiative to show his sincerity.

Zhonglikuai returned the greeting and said: "Zhonglikuai, the fourth generation disciple of Tianxing Palace, you are polite!" A seventh-grade golden lotus appeared between his eyebrows.

Taoist Master Deming was a little speechless. The cultivation level of a fourth-generation disciple of Tianxing Palace was already as high as that of the head of the Zhengqi Sect. It was higher than the cultivation level of two real people, Yuxu and Yulian. It was true that he was a Wuxu scholar despite his great reputation.

Miao Yi chuckled: "I haven't seen you for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that the Taoist master's cultivation has broken through to the Golden Lotus realm. It's such a pity and congratulations."

"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!" Taoist Master Deming looked ashamed. He was still a little proud, but in front of Zhongli Kuai, his cultivation was not worth mentioning. He invited the two of them upstairs again. .

When they arrived at the top floor and passed a room, Taoist Priest Deming raised his voice and said that this was a room prepared for Miao Yi alone.

Miao Yi nodded slightly, quite satisfied. It seems that Zhengqimen has not forgotten him yet.

When they arrived at the door of Yuxu Zhenren's house, which was located in Zhengqi Grocery Store, Taoist Master Deming asked the two of them to wait if Miao Yi was the only one to respond. An outsider is here, and he is an honored guest. He wants to go in and announce it.

Soon, Master Yuxu came out to greet him in person. He nodded to Miao Yi first, and after his eyes fell on Zhongli Kuai, he saluted and said, "The distinguished guest from Tianxing Palace is here. Yuxu, the second generation disciple of the Zhengqi Sect, welcomes you from afar."

"I've taken the liberty to come here. Please don't be offended if I'm disturbed!" Zhong Likuai responded politely.

Several people came inside and sat down. After taking a sip of tea and saying a few polite words, Zhonglikuai realized that it was not convenient for him to talk to an outsider when he had something to say, so he proposed to go shopping in Tianjie. Taoist priest Deming sent me a message.

No one is an outsider. Master Yuxu said in a deep voice: "Where have you been, layman, these years? Why is there no news at all?"

Miao Yi sighed: "Master, forget it. After I left last time, I went to the land of chaos to get jewelry for Mrs. Biyue. As a result, I was imprisoned for hundreds of years. I was freed just a month ago."

Master Yuxu was startled, "Who imprisoned the layman? Could it be Tianxing Palace?"

Miao Yi picked up the teacup and shook his head. "No, a demon from the Blood Demon Star. It is called the Blood Demon and is imprisoned in its Blood Demon Array. The Tianxing Palace disciple just now was also trapped in it. I have been with him for hundreds of years. One month The day before yesterday, a large number of experts from the palace came to rescue me, and I managed to escape by chance. It was really thrilling, and I almost lost my life. "

"Blood Demon Star... Blood Demon..." Master Yuxu thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, obviously not hearing it, and sighed: "So that's it, just come back, just be fine. But does the layman know that the Wuxiang Star happened after you left? Something big happened?”

Miao Yi said: "But what about the robbery of Spirit Island?"

"Exactly!" Master Yuxu nodded.

Miao Yi took a sip of tea and said, "I heard about it a month ago. After the people from Tianxing Palace saved me from danger, they asked me where I was from. When I said Wu Xiang Xing, they were also robbed because of Wu Xiang Xing. I heard about Wu Xiangxing and immediately told me about it. I just found out, but I don’t know if the robbers have been caught now?”

At this time, Taoist Master Deming also came back and stood aside. There was no place for him to sit in front of the uncle.

Yuxu sighed: "The robbers have not been caught. Hundreds of years have passed since the incident. It is estimated that they are unlikely to be caught. Those robbers are really rampant. Even the large formation of Lingdao cannot trap them. At that time, Heaven was furious, but the masters from Heaven came a step late and allowed those people to escape. The vast sea of ​​​​stars did not know where those people were, and it was not easy to catch them again. It was just that we, the monks of Wuxiangxing, suffered a lot at that time. All the monks, big and small, were interrogated, and everyone had to provide proof of alibi. The matter was finally traced to you, the layman. "

"What?" Miao Yi was shocked, "You won't suspect that I robbed the Spirit Island, right? My cultivation level can't rob it!"

Yuxu said: "The key is that I don't know where you went at that time. All the monks of Wuxiangxing, big and small, have found you, but you are missing. Because of you, Zhengqi Grocery Store was almost closed at that time. Fortunately, Xi Xiahou Longcheng, the commander of the city, had a great reputation. I don't know who he found to smooth the relationship. He acted as a mediator and saved Zhengqi Grocery Store. "

Miao Yi was a little worried and said: "Can Xiahou Longcheng have such good intentions? Will he protect me? Are you kidding me?"

Deming on the side said: "As the layman said, it is impossible to rob the spiritual island with your cultivation. At that time, the focus of the investigation was also on the monks above Jin Lian, so he dared to come forward to vouch for it, but his guarantee was conditional."

Miao Yi asked: "What are the conditions?"

Deming held out two fingers, "Now 20% of the profits of Zhengqi Grocery Store belong to him. Without these 20% of profits, how could he do such a good thing? He is interested in our good business and wants to get some benefits, plus he I only intervened when I had the relationship to settle the matter.”

Yuxu said: "It was agreed at the beginning that if the layman comes back, as long as he can prove that the robbery of the spiritual island has nothing to do with the layman, he will let go of the 20% of the profit. Now that the layman is back, if he can get the people from Tianxing Palace to help The layman testifies that it’s time for Xiahou Longcheng to let go of the 20% profit.”

Deming glanced at him, hesitating to speak, but he still didn't say the words he wanted to say.

Miao Yi, on the other hand, sneered twice, "It's not like I haven't learned the virtues of that bastard. How do you expect him to spit out the meat when it reaches his mouth? Don't even think about it! By the way, have you figured it out? Xia Houlong What is the background of the city?" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and faster novels!
