Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 430 Zhai Yanhui

But when Ji Qingwan and the others saw Zhao Zhen's paper figurine technique, they stared at the paper figurine on the ground and were speechless for a moment. After Zhao Zhen collected the paper figurine, Ji Qingwan asked, "Husband, you also know magic?"

Zhao Zhen said, "There are a few Taoist priests in the fantasy world who know some magic. I learned some from them. These heavenly soldiers look scary. Minghan and Mingdan should put away their fear. Each of them can resist five or seven of them. Even the black dog blood can be polluted and turned into ordinary things. So, don't take it to heart."

"Although spells can be used on the battlefield, they can also be broken. Many spells can be broken by the blood evil energy alone. Minghan has also seen ghosts. In this regard, spells are more useful than martial arts."

"Although I don't know why monks and Taoist priests are more valued, I think they can't escape from dealing with such beings. The bracelets and daggers I gave you when we went on a blind date are all carved from tung wood. They contain Buddhist teachings and can also ward off ghosts and evil spirits. I will use them to build temples in the fantasy world, and they will be useful one day in the future."

Ji Qingwan asked: "Husband, how many of us can learn magic?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "How would I know? I was able to learn Taoism because of an inheritance I got in the fantasy world. That's why I was able to enter Taoism."

"If you are interested, Madam, I will pay attention to the Fantasy World to see if I can find another inheritance. There is a copy of the Gaowang Sutra in the Fantasy World, but it can only train soldiers. It only has two skills, chanting Buddha's name and reciting sutras, and it requires vegetarianism."

Ji Xuan said: "I don't want to be a vegetarian nun."

Ji Qingwan and the others also laughed and said, "Who said you have to shave your hair? Just keep your hair as is. Besides, even if you shave your hair, you are still a nun."

On the second day, Zhao Zhen came out of Ji Xuan's room. After everyone had breakfast, Lu Zhuocheng brought Bao Jing to the mansion to get the money.

According to the agreement, Zhao Zhen asked Ji Xuan to pay the money. Bao Jing was about to leave when he heard a commotion outside and asked, "Mr. Wang, you are not short of money, why do you want to rent out the back house in the front of your house?"

Lu Zhuocheng said, "Manager Bao, the back house in front, except for the two I use, the rest are for the business of the official. There are many good things in there that are not available outside. Manager Bao also needs to purchase goods, so you can go and have a look. There are also many spiritual fish in the store of the official Zhao."

Bao Jing said, "Oh, we have to go and have a look. If there is anything suitable, buy some and save the trouble of going out to buy."

As they spoke, they left Lu Zhuocheng's shop. They saw that the street ahead was full of bicycle racks, and Tian Lei and Tian Xingping were directing people to move things in and out.

Zhao Zhen invited Bao Jing to walk into the shop. When Tian Xingping saw him, he immediately left Tian Lei and came over in person, asking, "Sir, what do you want to buy?"

"Show me the spirit fish."

Tian Xingping said, "We have three kinds of spiritual fish in our store: four-whiskered carp, eight-whiskered catfish, and Liangshan silverfish. They can improve physical fitness, boost spirits, and increase strength. I wonder what you want to see, sir?"

"How much is your spirit fish?"

"A four-whiskered carp costs 240 strings of cash, a pound of an eight-whiskered catfish costs 210 strings of cash, and Liangshan silverfish, which are the least in number, cost 220 strings of cash per pound. To purchase spiritual fish, you need to purchase another 2,000 strings of other goods. Silverfish are difficult to catch and we don't have any in our store right now," Tian Xingping replied.

"There are also some popular items here, such as the Geng Cake that was just delivered today, as well as a batch of calligraphy and painting, ivory carvings and lacquerware, and the best salt. In summer, the cool bamboo mats and goose feather fans that are sold out as soon as they are put on the shelves, peony bone carvings, boxwood sculptures, poplar wood beds, books on Yuzhu paper, various kinds of wine and so on. If there is anything you like, I will bring it to you to have a look."

Bao Jing heard this and said to Zhao Zhen, "So your business is so big. With this magical fish, your business will be much more profitable than raising horses and cattle like us."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "Manager Bao only knows that I have the magical fish, but he doesn't know that for this magical fish, I also need to purchase war horses and weapons to compete with others. If I lose the water, the fish will be gone too."

Bao Jing thought about it, ordered four four-barbel carps, one eight-barbel catfish weighing six pounds, and selected various items in the store to make up the quota. He took out the gold notes from his pocket, counted out the required amount, and said to Zhao Zhen: "It's not even warm yet, and you're already giving back so much." Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Boss Bao, let's not talk about anything else. The sea salt here is not this price anywhere else."

Bao Jing heard this and started laughing too.

After ordering the goods, several people came out, and Bao Jing and Lu Zhuocheng were about to say goodbye and leave.

Before the two men could mount their horses, a big man walked over. Zhao Zhen looked closely and found that it was the Zhai Yanhui who had just been mentioned.

After the greeting, Zhai Yanhui did not beat around the bush and said directly: "Sir, I brought 305 war horses. Can you eat them?"

Bao Jing heard this and whispered to Lu Zhuocheng beside him, "What is this?"

"Zhai Yanhui. His family raises a kind of pack horse called Sharma, which the official likes very much. His cattle and horses have been sent here several times." Lu Zhuocheng said.

After saying that, Lu Zhuocheng stepped forward, said hello, and then left with Bao Jing.

Zhao Zhen said to Zhai Yanhui, "I thought you wouldn't come this year. We are old friends now, so I want this horse."

Zhai Yanhui said, "This time we brought thousands of brown cattle, big and small. How about you eat them too, brother? I brought twenty Shire horses this time."

Zhao Zhen said: "Okay, let's do the deal today and rush to Bailiu Village the day after tomorrow."

After that, Zhao Zhen called Ji Xuan and followed Zhai Yanhui to see the war horses and brown cattle. Then, everyone rushed back to the mansion, calculated the price, and Ji Xuan asked, "Manager Zhai, is there anything you want to buy?"

Zhai Yanhui said: "The two places are too far apart, and it is not cost-effective to ship many things back. I need tea the most, so if there is any, I will buy some."

Ji Xuan said, "Although there is tea in the store, it is purchased from other places, so there is not much. I heard from my husband that the climate where Shopkeeper Zhai lives is dry, so I have something to recommend."

As he said this, he asked the waiter to bring a cool bamboo mat.

"This bamboo mat is most useful in summer. Now that the weather is cooler, the store has stock. In summer, there is no place to buy it. The shopkeeper Bao next to Luo Zhuocheng just now bought thousands of them."

"He also came from the north to do business?"

"Yes, we are also here to sell cattle and horses." Ji Xuan replied.

Zhai Yanhui said: "Since it is so useful, I will also take 500 copies and go back to try it out."

Ji Xuan smiled and settled the bill, and made up the shortfall. After seeing Zhai Yanhui off, Zhao Zhen and his family went to his father Zhao Jin's place, presented him with mirror flower silk, fairy pattern silk, Geng cakes and other gifts, and the family sat down and talked for half a day.

After two days at home, Zhao Zhen packed up the iron materials, engravings and other items he wanted to take away, and returned to Bailiu Village with the guards. Then, without stopping, he took all the cattle, horses, camels and sheep and returned to the fantasy world.
