Immortality: Raise an ant queen and add some immortality

Chapter 512 The sky-high price of the gold-eating rat

The three of them left the store and wandered casually on the street.

Each place has its own unique customs and products. Some of the vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street also sell accessories or weapons made of animal bones and teeth.

Ornaments carved from animal bones.

There are also combs made of horns, as well as some primitive horns and skins that are simply processed and sold.

"Wan Yan, weren't you full when you were eating? The roasted venison over there looks good, do you want to try it?"

"Okay!"

Wang Wanyan readily agreed.

In addition to roasted venison, there are also stewed tiger meat, fried elephant meat, bear paws and other delicacies. The price was not as expensive as expected. A large bowl of stewed tiger meat mixed with tiger bone soup only cost thirty copper coins.

If it were placed in the Black Tiger Gang, it would be difficult to get a bowl even for five coins.

Because the tiger itself is a rare beast.

But here, it feels like any beast is worthless. It feels like all the rare beasts are mass-produced here, and the price is not much more expensive than pork and chicken.

After finishing the delicious food, Qin Niu took the two girls and continued shopping.

The street stalls and the shops behind them all sell animal pets.

The fiery red red fox, the pure white white fox, the tall and mighty gray wolf, the cute and adorable black bear... you can find almost everything here.

Prices are generally not high.

Like those big bad wolves tied by the neck, a complete wolf skin alone can be sold for more than three taels of silver in Black Tiger City, and a better-quality one can even be sold for five taels. But here, a whole big bad wolf only sells for two taels of silver.

And if you want to buy one, you can easily buy hundreds of horses.

If a vendor specifically buys wolves from here, kills them and disposes of the wolf meat locally, and keeps the wolf skins and transports them to Black Tiger City and other places for sale, they should be able to make a lot of money.

However, it is a long way from Black Tiger City. If an ordinary merchant wants to drag a cart of wolf skins through multiple sects, he can basically save his life even if he burns a lot of incense.

The entry and exit fees for goods from various sects are also very expensive.

"Wan Yan, have you ever thought about getting another pet? I think there are a lot of pets here. If you are so willing, I can help you choose a pet with outstanding potential."

Qin Niu asked his wife.

"Hmm... I'm a little worried that they have to eat meat all the time and can't afford to feed them!"

"Our family's current conditions are not bad, right? You can raise ten tigers without any problem. Money is something you don't bring with you or take away with you when you die. You have to learn how to spend money. There is no need to be frugal everywhere."

My wife is good at everything, but she is too kind and too frugal, which is a bit of a headache.

This change in thinking can only come slowly.

It has to do with the education she received since childhood.

Frugality itself is a good thing, but excessive frugality can turn into a bad thing.

For example, when dealing with people, if you are too frugal and just want to treat people to a meal at a roadside stall, they will probably turn around and leave. Because he will feel unappreciated.

Especially when entertaining people of high status, they must be entertained grandly.

Wang Wanyan's thoughts and ideas are still the same as those taught to her by the rich man Wang, which are only suitable for ordinary rich peasant families. Qin Niu's idea of ​​spending money is to use money to buy various cultivation materials, open up relationships, and how to make his strength and status stronger.

"Okay, then I'll buy another fox. I think they look very cute. I heard that foxes don't eat much and are easy to feed."

She was obviously moved.

The cat he raised was too ordinary and had little potential, so it was difficult to use it in battle.

Now that she saw that there were a large number of good animal pets for sale on the market, and the prices were very cheap, she couldn't help but be tempted.

But her thinking is still affected by frugality and spending less.

"I will pay careful attention to it for you. If there is a good fox, I will buy a fox for you to raise. If I encounter other better pets, I will ask for your opinion then."

After Qin Niu finished speaking, he turned to look at Xiaoqing.

"Xiao Qing, the same goes for you. If you have any pet you like, tell me first. If you find a good one, I will buy one for you. Don't worry about not being able to afford it, I will provide you with the expenses."

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Sister Wanyan!"

Xiao Qing did not refuse and accepted it happily.

When she saw other people having pets, she was probably very envious of them.

Now that Qin Niu had spoken, and in a city where everyone had pets, she naturally would not refuse.

The little guy is quite smart and knows how to thank the hostess Wang Wanyan.

After the three of them came up with the idea of ​​buying a pet, they started looking for suitable pets at stalls and shops on both sides of the street. After asking for prices and comparisons, Qin Niu found that the pets on the street stalls were sold cheaply, but of poor quality.

There are good and bad pets in the store with outstanding potential, and the selling prices are basically astronomical.

A fox with a trace of green fox blood can be sold for as much as 50,000 taels of silver.

It's simply ridiculously expensive.

Moreover, the bloodline of that green fox was not pure, and it was a hybrid among the subspecies.

It is true that the Qingqiu Fox Clan is very famous in the animal pet world.

After all, the strongest Qinghu had easily killed many true immortals.

"It seems like they're all selling rats over there!"

Xiao Qing pointed at a street on the left and shouted.

Qin Niu turned around and saw, right?

The cage was filled with rats of all kinds, some as big as dogs.

The three of them walked over.

"Do you want to buy rats? This is a bamboo rat, this is a field rat, this is a rock rat..."

The store clerk greeted the three of them warmly.

The various rats in the cages outside the shop are an eye-opener.

There are even rats raised specifically in the water, which are as big as a child and look like long-armed monkeys. Their claws have long hooks.

"Won't these rats drown in the water?"

Xiaoqing asked curiously.

"Don't underestimate them. This is called coypus, and the one over there is coypu, which specializes in building dams in the river. The ones here are otters the size of children. If you are swimming in the water and are discovered by them, they will sneak in quietly. Get to your feet, and then pull your feet hard to drag them to the bottom of the water. They are extremely powerful and flexible in water, and many people who drowned were killed by them.

These mice are specialized in living in water and their swimming skills are very good. "

The waiter explained the characteristics of these water rats in detail.

"The mice are small, but why do their cages have thick iron bars?"

Xiao Qing pointed to another cage and asked.

"These rats are called rock rats. They also have another name, rock-eating rats. Despite their small size, their teeth are very sharp. Some of them are so powerful that they can break such a thick iron bar in two or three strokes.

In order to contain them, this cage is specially processed.

In addition, all the mice we sell here have been carefully selected to ensure that each one is of high quality. If you buy them back and find that they have poor potential after raising them, we will refund them. "

These shops have one thing in common: they are all very honest.

The sale of pet animals is inherently non-responsible, but these stores dare to provide quality assurance services and directly guarantee refunds if there are any problems.

"Master, I want to buy a rock rat and keep it, is that okay?"

Xiaoqing looked at Qin Niu.

"Of course, you can choose the best one."

"Boss, how much do these rock rats cost?"

After Xiaoqing got the permission, he didn't rush to buy, but asked about the price first.

The way she calls the store clerk is also very interesting. She calls her the boss directly, not the clerk.

"The ones in this cage are all worth two taels of silver each. The ones that are caged alone over there have different prices. For example, this one is priced at eight thousand taels of silver."

The prices quoted by the store clerk were astonishing.

Rock rats of the same size only cost 2 taels of silver each, but that one costs 8,000 taels, a full four thousand times more expensive.

"It's so expensive. Is there any difference between them?"

"Of course there is a difference! This one has been appraised by an authoritative pet appraiser and has a certificate. It has the blood of a gold-eating rat. Although it is still at a low level, it bites off iron bars as if it were for fun."

The shop assistant picked up a long iron bar nearby, as thick as chopsticks, and stretched it into the cage.

Click, click, click.

The rock rat was chewed up in two bites.
