Happy life in the world of film and television

Chapter 1591 Yi Qianzhi in "Wanxiang"

"Little girl, where are you running off to?"

Just as Jiang Chen was about to enter the inn, a voice came from the side.

"Ok?"

Jiang Chen turned his head to look.

next moment.

The system prompt sounds.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits.]

"Ten Vermilion Fruits of Ten Thousand Years?"

"This is the sixteenth time I've checked in and received ten Eternal Vermilion Fruits."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"The existence of the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit is a rare treasure that allows martial artists at the Martial King Realm to quickly advance to the Martial Emperor Realm. After refining the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit, one's strength increases by 314, physique by 283, mental strength by 70, and agility by 180. It will be a unique treasure for the Jiang family in the future."

"If everyone signs in a few more times, then everyone can take it."

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Shui Lian is a character in the novel "Iron-Blooded Lotus".

In the drama, she is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water. She is pure and kind, coming from a family where her mother was forced into prostitution by the former Governor of Macau in her childhood. After giving birth to an illegitimate child, she was humiliated by her husband and committed suicide by drowning. From then on, she and her father depended on each other for survival. Her father spent his days drinking, addicted to gambling and opium, and repeatedly begged Shui Lian to marry the wealthy businessman, Mr. Li. In her misfortune and helplessness, her childhood sweetheart, Lin Weiliang, gave her hope, and her childhood friend, Wenbao, provided her with care. As time passed, Shui Lian and Weiliang's love grew stronger, while Wenbao, who was deeply in love with her, drifted further and further away in despair. Finally, Shui Lian turned her gun on him! The brutality of the colonial rulers destroyed the lives of the people of Macau, destroying their family ties and love. When their homeland was invaded and their sovereignty trampled upon, they abandoned love. Shui Lian even perished together with the Portuguese officer Carlos, like a blood-stained lotus, dancing lightly, petals falling one by one.

"Iron-Blooded Lotus?"

"I didn't expect it to be this drama..."

In the drama, when the Lin family is holding an 18th birthday party for their youngest son, Amin, Shui Lian and her fiancé encounter an armed search by Carlos, a subordinate of the newly appointed Portuguese governor, Savade, during the preparations for the banquet. This search directly triggers the first large-scale confrontation between Chinese fishermen and colonists.

Because her father, Shen Xiangkun, secretly betrothed her to the wealthy businessman Li Gongzi as a concubine, Shui Lian was forced to break off her engagement with Lin Weiliang. Her father was later killed by Portuguese soldiers, and her half-brother, Anthony, although a mixed-race officer, risked his life to rescue Shui Lian, who had been captured by the Portuguese army.

During the period when the Chinese community in Macau formed resistance organizations, Shui Lian participated in planning arms smuggling and rescuing arrested individuals. At the execution ground where her fiancé, Lin Weiliang, was sentenced to death by the colonial authorities, she used pre-planted explosives to kill herself and the colonial officer Carlos, making a final contribution to the anti-colonial struggle in Macau with her life.

"interesting……"

"The person behind Shui Lian is Shen Xiangkun."

Jiang Chen's eyes flickered.

"Dad, what are you doing? I have no money on me," Shui Lian said as she ran.

"I don't believe it." Shen Xiangkun ran even faster, as if he wouldn't give up until he caught Shui Lian.

Jiang Chen's gaze swept over the two of them, a series of thoughts racing through his mind.

However, Jiang Chen didn't show anything and went into the inn.

"Sir, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?" the waiter asked.

"Let's eat," Jiang Chen said to the waiter. "Bring us all the restaurant's signature dishes."

"Okay," the waiter replied.

Soon, the food and drinks were served.

Jiang Chen was visiting this place for the first time, so naturally he had to try the signature dish.

After taking a bite, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

"Your cooking skills are quite good."

Jiang Chen gave a thumbs-up and began to eat with great concentration.

After the meal, Jiang Chen took a stroll around Guangzhou.

It must be said that Guangzhou's commerce is relatively prosperous.

"Is this agarwood?"

At the incense shop, Jiang Chen's gaze fell on the agarwood.

Agarwood is a type of agarwood.

Both Dongguan agarwood and agarwood are precious aromatic woods with unique fragrances and uses, but they differ significantly in origin, characteristics, effects, and applications. Dongguan agarwood has a light and mild fragrance, suitable for daily incense burning and religious activities, and also possesses certain medicinal value; while agarwood has a rich and complex fragrance, suitable for high-end incense burning, Buddhist offerings, and investment, and also has significant medicinal effects. The choice of which incense material to use should be based on specific needs, occasions, and personal preferences.

The aroma of agarwood is elegant and mild, with a slightly sweet floral and fruity scent, and a fresh and delicate fragrance. Compared with agarwood, the aroma of agarwood is softer and not as strong, but it is long-lasting and pleasant, making it suitable for daily use as incense (for long-term use in homes, offices, studies, and other places).

Agarwood possesses a complex and multifaceted aroma, rich in layers, typically exhibiting spicy, sweet, cool, and bitter notes, with a deep and intense fragrance. High-quality agarwood, when burned, releases a unique, cool, and sweet aroma with a strong penetrating quality, providing a sense of tranquility and peace. Its distinctive fragrance helps purify the air, ward off evil spirits, and enhance the taste and style of a space. Agarwood holds a very high position in Buddhism, considered a sacred incense material used in offerings to Buddha, meditation, and rituals. Its aroma can soothe the mind and aid sleep, helping practitioners enter a deep meditative state.

"Yes, this is agarwood," the waiter said.

“I’ll take them all, no matter how many there are,” Jiang Chen said.

"I want them all... I want them all..." The waiter looked at Jiang Chen in shock.

“Yes.” Jiang Chen nodded.

"Wait here." The waiter went inside.

Soon, the waiter returned.

Jiang Chen looked up and saw a woman following behind the waiter.

"Is this the shopkeeper?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Almost at the same time, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten ancient He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) plants.]

"Ten thousand-year-old He Shou Wu plants?"

"That's not bad."

Jiang Chen was very satisfied.

Previously, I received ten thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) from signing in with Tang Guoguo, Yu Qingluo, and others. Then, when I signed in with 320 female protagonists and advanced to the Celestial Clan, I received ten thousand-year-old He Shou Wu as a special reward. This is the eleventh time I have received ten thousand-year-old He Shou Wu.

Seventy-three ancient He Shou Wu plants have already been used up during this period. Although there are still more than nine hundred ancient He Shou Wu plants in the system space, the storage capacity is not much.

"Among the medicinal herbs that have been signed in for thousands of years, the reserves of the ten-thousand-year-old He Shou Wu are also the smallest."

"I wonder if I'll be able to sign in more often in the future."

"Even with the existence of the Jiang family's medicinal herb garden, there should still be a sign-in reward."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Yi Qianzhi is a character in the TV series "Guanxiang".

In the drama, she is Yi Cunpu's older sister. Beautiful and kind, she is gentle yet rebellious, her rebelliousness manifesting in her strong resentment of the arranged marriage her parents arranged for her. At the same time, she dares to love her ideal lover, and after many twists and turns, she finally marries her sweetheart. She is also one of the "fragrant maidens" of Dongguan, and because of her profession, she has faced numerous life-threatening situations.

"Dongguan Fragrance"

"I didn't expect it to be this drama."

"Yi Qianzhi..."

Yi Qianzhi was born into the Yi family, a prominent family of agarwood merchants, and is the older sister of Yi Cunpu. As the eldest daughter in the family, she received a traditional education from a young age, but due to her rebellious spirit, she refused to accept the marriage arranged by her family and insisted on pursuing free love.

Later, while pursuing her lover, she was kidnapped and sold into prostitution in Malaysia. Unable to bear the humiliation, she attempted suicide but was rescued by Deng Zhi'en, the son of the Deng family. The two then married in a foreign land.

After a period of wandering overseas, Yi Qianzhi returned to China in middle age and worked with her family to protect the Dongguan incense culture. Her life spanned from the late Qing Dynasty to modern times, witnessing the rise and fall and inheritance of the Dongguan incense industry under the backdrop of foreign invasion.

"I didn't expect it to be Yi Qianzhi..."

Jiang Chen sized up Yi Qianzhi.

It must be said that, as the eldest daughter of the Yi family, Yi Qianzhi is quite beautiful.

"Is it you who wants to buy agarwood?" Yi Qianzhi asked.

“Yes, I’ll buy as many as you have,” Jiang Chen said.

“We have a thousand catties, do you want them all?” Yi Qianzhi asked.

“Yes, I want them all.” Jiang Chen felt that Wanxiang could be sold in the First World.

“I can only sell you 800 jin,” Yi Qianzhi said.

“Okay,” Jiang Chen said.

Soon, Jiang Chen paid the market price and then went to the warehouse with the waiter.

Because he couldn't expose the spatial ring, Jiang Chen directly rented a warehouse and had someone move the incense into it.

After the worker left, Jiang Chen put the agarwood into his spatial ring.

Jiang Chen felt that with these agarwood incense, he could definitely start a new company in the First World.

"By the way, this agarwood originated in the Tang Dynasty and began to develop in the Song Dynasty..."

"Therefore, in the Central Continent of the Second World, the Qing Kingdom Continent, the Great Ming Continent, the Sui and Tang Continent, the Sky Dome Continent of the Third World, and the Wind and Cloud Continent of the Fourth World, there are all places where Guanxiang exists and can be cultivated on a large scale."

"In addition, agarwood trees are also cultivated on other continents."

"Historically, agarwood trees were introduced from abroad." "However, it wouldn't be difficult for the Jiang family to obtain these agarwood saplings now..."

Jiang Chen recalled that in the First World, the price of agarwood varied significantly depending on the type, quality, and form of the product, with top-grade raw materials reaching 1.5 yuan per gram.

"However, the first female lead of 'Guanxiang' is nowhere to be found..."

"Yi Qianzhi is not very old. Even though the plot has started, it has only been a short time."

Various thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind.

After leaving the warehouse, Jiang Chen saw Shen Xiangkun again.

"It's just luck..."

Jiang Chen's eyes darted around, and as he left, he wrote a note and tossed it to him.

The note was for the sake of the water lily.

If successful, Shui Lian will become a maid in the Jiang family.

If it doesn't work, Jiang Chen won't care.

But Shen Xiangkun is a gambler, so there's a high probability he'll do it.

"It's him?"

Just then, Jiang Chen saw another person.

This person was none other than Deng Zehou.

A character in "Guanxiang".

In the drama, the Yi family are old friends, and later they join forces with Yi Tiannong to run the agarwood business. After the agarwood purchased by the Yi and Deng families at great expense was transported to the Liaobu Town dock, it was forcibly confiscated by the government. They led the agarwood farmers in a life-or-death struggle against the government soldiers and managed to retrieve the agarwood.

"The Deng family in the drama runs a jewelry and agarwood business."

"It seems that Yi Qianzhi is still with the descendants of the Deng family."

"And Yi Qianzhi... her fate is also quite tragic."

Jiang Chen didn't know how the Deng family's jewelry business was doing, but if it was thriving, cooperation wasn't out of the question. After all, most of the jewelry the Jiang family sold in the Second World was machine-made in the First World.

This means that the Jiang family's jewelry can be mass-produced.

This also means that the Jiang family has low production costs and can earn the maximum profit.

However, despite having many thoughts running through his mind, Jiang Chen did not talk to Deng Zehou.

After all, compared to the Jiang family, the Deng family was just a small family, and it would be enough for him to send only one manager. There was no need for him to waste his time here.

A moment later, Jiang Chen left Guangzhou.

A few minutes later, Jiang Chen flew to Macau.

As for why we came here?

Naturally, it's because the female lead is present here.

"It really is Changyuan Inn."

Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and he walked into Changyuan Inn.

next moment.

Jiang Chen saw a woman behind the counter.

Almost simultaneously, a system notification sounded.

"Sign in."

Jiang Chen silently recited in his heart.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully checked in and received ten stacks of intermediate-to-high-grade talisman paper.]

[Congratulations, host! You have checked in with 1,750 female protagonists consecutively. Rewards include 10 attribute points, a 100-cubic-meter expansion of your space ring, a high-grade low-level spirit field modification blueprint, and a high-grade spirit fish pond modification blueprint.]

"Ten stacks of intermediate to high-grade talisman paper?"

"This is talisman paper that can be used to draw intermediate and advanced talismans."

"Besides the fifty stacks of intermediate and high-level talisman papers that I received as a special reward for signing in, this is what I got on my seventh sign-in."

"Spirit Concealment Talisman... These are all mid-to-high-level talismans."

"Beginner-level talismans correspond to first-rate martial artists, intermediate-level talismans correspond to innate martial artists, advanced-level talismans correspond to grandmaster martial artists, intermediate-level talismans correspond to great grandmasters, and intermediate-level talismans correspond to Martial Kings."

"Intermediate and high-level talismans correspond to the Martial Emperor realm."

"Starting with Cheng Chun'e, then Zhu Shaolan, Du Lanxin, Cheng Jiayi, Qiu Ju, Shi Yiyang, Hong Xuanjiao, Shui Lian, Yi Qianzhi, and now A Xiu, we've unknowingly signed on to ten more leading ladies."

"Attribute points 10, spatial ring space expanded by 100 cubic meters."

"This is the most basic special reward."

"A high-grade low-level spirit field transformation plan?"

"This is the nineteenth time I've checked in."

The Low-Grade Spirit Field Transformation Plan transforms existing land into Low-Grade Spirit Fields, with a total of ten acres of Low-Grade Spirit Fields that can be transformed.

The intermediate-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the low-grade low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform one hundred acres of low-grade spirit fields.

The advanced low-grade spirit field transformation map is an upgraded version of the intermediate low-grade spirit field transformation map, and can transform 1,000 acres of low-grade spirit fields.

"This sign-in reward is pretty good."

"High-grade spirit fish pond renovation plan?"

This is the nineteenth time I've checked in.

According to the system introduction, the advanced spirit fish pond renovation blueprint transforms an existing fish pond into a spirit fish pond. The basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint can renovate ten acres of spirit fish pond. The intermediate spirit fish pond renovation blueprint is an upgraded version of the basic spirit fish pond renovation blueprint, which can renovate one hundred acres of spirit fish pond.

The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is an upgraded version of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and can renovate 1,000 acres of spirit fish ponds.

"Therefore, the difference between the advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan and the low-level and intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plans is the number of acres to be renovated."

"The advanced spirit fish pond renovation plan is ten times that of the intermediate spirit fish pond renovation plan, and one hundred times that of the low-level spirit fish pond renovation plan."

"This sign-in reward is really good."

At that moment, Jiang Chen looked at the female lead who had signed in.

Ah Xiu, a character in "Iron-Blooded Lotus".

Ah Xiu, the proprietress of Changyuan Inn, was very beautiful. She was observant, perceptive, and adept at navigating social situations. She was feisty, passionate, and loyal. Her love for Du Hailong was intense and unwavering; her love for her younger brother, Wenbao, was tender and considerate. In the end, to protect the righteous Lin Weiliang and Du Hailong, she resolutely set the inn ablaze and tragically perished in the flames.

“Ah Xiu…”

In the drama, Ah Xiu embarks on a passionate and forbidden love affair with the pirate Du Hailong, maintaining a secret emotional connection under the oppressive environment of colonial rule. She is considerate and thoughtful towards her younger brother Wenbao, but is caught in a dilemma between family ties and morality after Wenbao becomes involved in the anti-Portuguese struggle.

He gradually transforms from a neutral bystander into a participant in the anti-colonial struggle, and ultimately completes the character arc by destroying his own inn to stop the Portuguese army's pursuit.

"I didn't expect there to actually be Westerners here..."

"I wonder where these Westerners are..."

Jiang Chen felt that the western part of the Qing Dynasty's mainland did not have a continent inhabited by Westerners.

After all, the southwest of the Qing Dynasty's mainland was the Eastern Han Dynasty's mainland.

However, Jiang Chen was not in a hurry.

Soon, Jiang Chen entered Changyuan Inn.

Once you arrive at Changyuan Inn, you can't get by without finding something to eat.

After all, when you're acting, you have to go all the way.

Fifteen minutes later, after eating two plates of meat and a pot of wine, they left Changyuan Inn.

However, Jiang Chen did not leave immediately, but instead toured around Macau.

After touring around, Jiang Chen discovered that Macau in this era was still set according to the rules of the Second World (without firearms). However, Jiang Chen did not see the person he wanted to see.

Jiang Chen didn't care about this.

After all, in the second world of film and television fusion, the rules of fusion must be followed during the fusion process, but even he doesn't know much about the rules of fusion.

"However, this place can also be developed. Whether or not there is a continent where Westerners live, or whether or not there is maritime trade with other continents, this place is bound to have development potential."

"While some continents are separated by large distances, others are separated by small distances."

"Moreover, even those large islands are not much different from the mainland."

What is a large island?

It refers to islands with an area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers.

Yes, it's at least a third the size of Taiwan.

According to the rules of integration in the Second World, it is not impossible for so-called Westerners to live on a large island.

"It's a pity that I didn't spend enough time in the Second World."

"Otherwise, we could explore new continents a few more times..."

"It's been less than a month since we left the Second World. I wonder if we'll be able to find a new continent."

However, despite this thought, Jiang Chen still felt that they should look for a new continent after the New Year. Only by finding a new continent could the Jiang family have another base for development in the Second World.

Jiang Chen pondered, "However, we still need to consider where to look for new lands."
