Chapter 40 Failure
Kunling Mountains, the top of the mountains.

In an empty cave, the walls of the cave are covered with runes.

A complex octagonal rune pattern was also drawn on the floor of the cave.

In the center of the formation, sitting cross-legged, a man with gray hair and a boyish face, whose age could not be discerned.

In the southeast, northwest and four corners of the octagon, a young child of about three or four years old, both male and female, is tied up.

These children have runes plastered all over their bodies and their eyes are closed.

In the remaining four corners, four Taoist priests dressed in Taoist robes with a relatively large age gap sat cross-legged.

The man sitting in the middle suddenly made an old voice: "Get up!"

The other four Taoist priests quickly changed a gesture.

Suddenly all the runes suddenly glowed and separated from the stone wall, forming a circle and suspended in mid-air.

Surround everyone in the formation.

The eyes of the tied children suddenly opened, their bodies kept twitching, and they rolled their eyes. Runes were flowing up and down their little bodies.

"Take it!" The Taoist priest in the middle made seals with both hands!

The suspended runes quickly rotated, and the cave shone with golden light!

Suddenly there was a loud bang!
There was a thunder in the sky!
All the runes exploded!

Master Xuanji spat out a mouthful of old blood, his face changed, his hands quickly formed seals, and he pointed at the oldest Taoist priest among the octagons.

Instant death!

The other three Taoist priests of different ages were so frightened that their faces were as pale as paper.

The four children suddenly woke up and cried out with a "wow".

The master of mystery who failed to renew his life angrily shouted: "Shut up!"

The four children were stunned for a moment, too frightened to speak.

Master Xuanji had no time to care about them anymore. He had just failed to renew his life and was almost killed by the thunder. Fortunately, he was prepared and reacted quickly so that his eldest disciple could bear it!

It's just that this is not the first time he has done the formation to capture the life of a child, so why did it fail?

He counted with his fingers, then looked in a certain direction, frowning.

*
In the evening, the setting clouds cover half of the sky.

In the big courtyard of the village chief's house, five tables were set up, full of the villagers, old and young, who went up the mountain to hunt wild boar together today.

In the middle of each table is a large pot of pig-killing vegetables.

The ancestors of the village chief's family came from the north, and the butchered vegetables are the dishes of the village chief's family. It can be said that the ancestors of the village chief's family brought the villagers of Xishui Village to eat the butchered vegetables.

Otherwise, many families in the village have never eaten such pig-killing dishes for generations. Now, as long as every household raises pigs, they will invite everyone to eat pig-killing dishes during the Chinese New Year.

Before dinner, Mrs. Lei, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Jiang put a plate of stir-fried shredded pork with asparagus on each table.

Mrs. Lei said to the village chief: "Village chief, try this dish."

The village chief picked up his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what good things do you have to take care of me? What is this? The tip of a bamboo shoot?"

Mrs. Lei smiled but said nothing.

When the village chief saw her being mysterious, he took a chopstick and put it into his mouth to taste it. His eyes lit up: "It's delicious! It doesn't have the bitterness of bamboo shoots, but it's fresh and fragrant. What is this?"

Other villagers also asked, "What kind of dish is this? It's delicious!"

"Delicious! Did Ruochuan bring this dish back from the city?"

……

Mrs. Lei smiled and said: "The stems of wild grass."

The village chief nodded: "It turns out to be wild grass stems. Not to mention, the wild grass stems are quite delicious... What did you say? Wild wild grass? That large field of wild wild grass by the lake?"

Mrs. Lei looked proud: "Yes, it's that piece of wild wild rice. It's a treasure my Xuanbao accidentally discovered. We call it wild bamboo shoots. Isn't it delicious?"

Ruoxuan's mouth was full of greasy food, so she nodded her head: "It's delicious, it's delicious."

The villagers were stunned!

Wild stalks?
So yesterday, the whole family of the weak family cut the wild wild grass in the wetland all afternoon. Was it because the wild wild wild grass was really edible?
What shocked the villagers even more was behind, Ruochuan said loudly at this time: "Fathers and folks, the restaurant in the city collects wild bamboo shoots. If you want to earn some money, you can cut some wild bamboo shoots and send them to my house before midnight tomorrow. I will sell them for you. Yes! Twenty cents a catty."

Ruoshui added: "But the price is not static. When everyone knows that the wild bamboo shoots are the stems of wild wild shoots, and there are more people selling them, the price of wild bamboo shoots in restaurants will drop. It will definitely not be as much as twenty yuan. .”

Ruojiang: "We only harvest the young shoots of wild wild wild shoots that have been peeled off. The old ones are not accepted."

The villagers exploded upon hearing this!

Twenty cents a catty, which is almost comparable to the price of eggs!

God, yesterday they thought that the weak family was poor and crazy, so they wanted to cut the wild rice grass to eat and sell, but they didn't expect that they would actually sell it in the city, and it cost twenty yuan a catty!
They cut so much yesterday, didn't they make several taels of silver?

"Ruochuan, how much do you want? I will deliver it on time tomorrow."

"Weak water, my family will also cut it and send it over! Every day, how much do you want?"

Ruo Chuan: "Don't worry, everyone. The restaurant doesn't want much. It's only a thousand catties in total, so I won't accept it if I have enough."

The brothers from the weak family answered the villagers' questions one after another.

Ruochuan has long thought about how to sell these wild bamboo shoots.

Relying on the members of the family to cut and sell, the whole family can only harvest two hundred catties a day, and spend time in the evening to peel off the leaves of the bamboo shoots, and get up early the next day to transport them to the city for sale.

After working so hard, the whole family went out and could earn up to four or five taels of silver in a day.

Besides, everyone in the family can't spend all day in the fields, and don't have to do other things?

If he bought wild bamboo shoots harvested by the villagers, he would receive 25 Wen and sell them to restaurants for [-] Wen.

He successfully signed documents with seven restaurants in the prefecture and county today. Four of these restaurants have stores in the county and nearby towns. He has agreed with these restaurants to provide them with a total of [-] yuan per day. A pound of wild bamboo shoots.

If their family harvests one hundred catties and purchases nine hundred catties from the villagers, their family can earn seven taels of silver a day.

Even if the people in my family have no time to harvest and just buy from the villagers, they can guarantee to earn five taels a day.

In this way, not only can I earn money, but also help the people in the village, which is a win-win situation.

As for the villagers selling it in restaurants and markets, Ruochuan is also happy to see it happen.

There is endless money in this world, money in the world is earned by people in the world, and everyone can only earn what they can afford.

So he never envy other people, others can earn that is other people's ability, he only earns what he can earn.

Today he has visited restaurants in two cities and contacted some familiar stewards of large families. He only got an order of about one thousand catties and a deposit of ten taels of silver, and the price was that he had to buy all the wild bamboo shoots. It was sent out. His legs were weak and his feet were blistered. He tried his best.

Ruoxuan was full, and came to Ruochuan with her chubby belly: "Uncle is amazing!"

Ruo Chuan picked up his little niece, who had weighed two or three catties again: "Uncle is not as good as Xuan Bao, one bag of wild bamboo shoots sold for ten taels of silver, and the other bag found a job for Sanbo."

Ruoxuan likes to hear people praise her the most. She kicked the little elephant's legs and smiled brightly: "That's right, you have to find the right person to sell."

Ruochuan was stunned for a moment, then kissed his little niece's chubby face: "Xuan Bao is right!"

Isn't finding the right person the most important thing in doing business?
Just when everyone finished their meal and discussed about picking wild bamboo shoots together tomorrow, the whole yard was full of joy and laughter, butcher Zhao came up with a butcher knife and said, "Ruohe! Get out of here!"

 Thank you to those who voted, please vote!
  100 small red envelopes, see you tomorrow!
