Mysterious Tang Dynasty

After a while, the shopkeeper of the luxurious inn came to Taoist Xuanying to discuss with him that someone came to place an order for pills.

Taoist Xuanying really wanted to rest for a few more days, but he couldn't help but waver when the innkeeper offered him benefits.

They were bargaining there, and Li Lijun and Mrs. Wang took the opportunity to say goodbye and leave.When going downstairs, Li Lijun took advantage of the opportunity and asked Mrs. Wang: "I haven't seen you for a month, how come Mrs. Wang is so familiar with Taoist Xuanying now?"

Mrs. Wang laughed twice, looked around, and then signaled Li Lijun to come closer: "Miss Li Qi, although Taoist Master Xuanying has always valued profits, he is actually not bad in character. As long as he feels that he owes me favors, he will often It has become easier to talk. And what my natal family lacks most now is pills. I make friends with him, and I have more confidence when I go home and talk."

Mrs. Wang was running a grocery store by herself, but was suddenly stabbed in the back by a clerk, her cousin Gongsun Yi was seriously injured, and she was distracted to deal with the rebuilding of the store. Without the support and help of her natal family, how could she survive so many things? ?Originally, the Wang family still didn't like Gongsun Yi very much. Although they didn't want to take his life while he was injured, they didn't plan to save him.After saving her cousin's life, Mrs. Wang worried about his follow-up health care. After finding out that what the family needs most now is the elixir, she simply used the excuse of going back to the market to rebuild the store, and took the opportunity to get closer to Taoist Xuanying. .

She got the news from her family in advance that every time the Taoist Temple of True Immortals reverses time, it will start collecting various cultivation resources a few days before the Anshi Rebellion, from pills, ingredients, robes, magic weapons, spirit weapons, talismans to Materials such as spirit stones and mines are all refused to let go.Because before the Anshi Rebellion started, Zhenxian Temple would order to recall all the disciples, keep them in the main altar and not allow them to go out, and let them out after the fighting outside stopped.It's been at least eight years.With so many disciples gathered in the main altar, they needed everything for basic necessities, food, housing, transportation, and cultivation. How could we do without resources?So they have to start collecting things years in advance.

Since the beginning of this year, Zhenxian Temple has increased its efforts to collect resources.It was not obvious in the past, but starting from this autumn, as the food stocks in the mundane world decreased, food prices rose, and people fled their homes in order to survive, the shortage of some things will gradually become apparent.Mrs. Wang found out that the supply of elixir produced in the Guanzhong region this year had been reduced by half compared to the previous quarter, so she immediately found out what kind of elixir these elixir were used to refine, and then made a list, and with Xuanying For the convenience of rebuilding the site at the market, the Taoist placed an order with him.

Taoist Xuanying didn't realize it at the time, he just took this order as no different from the others, and it could be delivered before the end of the year, and there was plenty of time, so he took it casually and charged a deposit.But on the second day after he received the order, a brother from Zhenxianguan came and gave him a very similar order, the same type of medicine, and the quantity was five times that of Mrs. Wang, and also required delivery before the end of the year .However, the alchemy materials he could buy were reduced by half compared to last season, so it was impossible to complete the two orders no matter what.He naturally wants to give priority to alchemy for his master, so he can only choose to break the contract with Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang was crying and selling miserably, and being coquettish and coquettish at the same time, using all kinds of means to fight.Taoist Xuanying knew he was in the wrong, but he still couldn't break the contract after all, and today he made a promise that he would pay back the debt owed to her.It's just that Mrs. Wang's purpose is not just for pills. Under the banner of her "friendship with Taoist Xuanying for many years", she allowed him to break the contract and delay delivery. She neither publicized it nor turned against him. The money is still paid.As a Taoist Xuanying, he will definitely accept this debt of favor, and if she places a new order in the future, he will be much easier to talk to.

With Taoist Xuanying's stable channel for pills, Mrs. Wang really has the confidence to speak at her natal side.Now that she hasn't got his newly refined elixir yet, relying on the acquaintance shown by the two of them in front of outsiders, she has obtained a gift for her cousin Gongsun Yi, and persuaded the family to allow him to live with him in his original capacity. She works in the shop.Her painstaking efforts were not in vain.

After saying these words to Li Lijun, Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "We single women will always encounter various difficulties when we live alone. Don't be surprised. I just want to buy more pills from Taoist Xuanying, I have no bad intentions, and I won't embarrass him."

Li Lijun smiled and shook his head: "Miss Wang, it's not easy for you, I can understand, and Taoist Xuanying must not be offended."

Mrs. Wang looked moved, and immediately began to test: "I heard that Mrs. Seven is also planning to open a shop in the market? Do you plan to sell pills?"

Li Lijun blinked: "Miss Wang, I'm better at talismans." But he didn't say that he couldn't make alchemy.

Lady Wang smiled and said, "I know Seventh Lady is a master of talisman. Isn't this... the red girl who came with you, I heard that her master is a master of alchemy?"

Li Lijun thought for a while: "Miss Wang, you and I are so familiar, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. To be honest, Sister Hong's master is my elder. For a master like him, he can make a good alchemy, but Good pills will not be released for sale casually. Usually, people will come to wait for them before they are released. Not to mention the grocery store in the market, even if it is me, a junior, and sister Hong, who is a servant, usually You may not be able to get one."

Mrs. Wang said awkwardly: "It's true... the products of master alchemists are always very popular."

"However..." Li Lijun changed his tone, "I don't dare to think about the good alchemy made by the elders, but there are many disciples of the elders, as well as the confidantes around them, who are familiar with the way of alchemy. Their alchemy skills are also very good. It’s not bad, but their cultivation base is lower. The elders are also happy to see them practice more, and they also provide materials. Sometimes they make too many pills, and they can’t use them up for personal use or giving away. They also want to find a reliable way to sell them. Sell ​​it, save some money for yourself..."

Lady Wang's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood what Li Lijun meant: "Then... then, what is the quality of these pills? How do you calculate the price?"

The quality is naturally above average, and the price should follow the market price to avoid disputes.Li Lijun said that she is willing to be a middle-aged man, but it is best not to spread this matter, so as not to attract too many people to ask.

Mrs. Wang wished that no one would compete with her. This little pill was not enough for the Wang family to share.She also made a small request: If she has the elixir she wants, can she ask the alchemy masters around the expert to help make it first?She will be responsible for the materials, and she is willing to pay a high price for hard work, and then share [-]% with Lan and Li Lijun.

Li Lijun, who also works part-time as an alchemy expert and intermediary, said that there is no problem, as long as Mrs. Wang can find the materials, and the "acquaintances" I know happen to know the alchemy formula, and they are free, they can help her make it anytime.Before the Anshi Rebellion began, this agreement was valid.

But Master Dan Dao is likely to leave Guanzhong before the Anshi Rebellion begins. Once he leaves, the people around him will naturally follow.The agreement between Li Lijun and Mrs. Wang will come to an end here.

Mrs. Wang had no objection, and she took her hand happily and said many words of gratitude.When the two went down to the inn lobby, they met Guan Zhenren and a pair of grandparents and grandchildren he brought—it seemed that they planned to introduce Li Lijun as a clerk—Ms. Wang also came forward to help Li Lijun bargain for the clerk's salary Fan, negotiated a good price for her.

As long as Li Lijun provided the board and lodging for the grandparents and grandchildren, they would be in charge of the operation of her entire shop, and she didn't need to worry about it at all.As for the scope of the backyard, it is her private domain, and they will not ask a word.
