[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

Xingxian never imagined that they waited so long in this thorny ridge for so long. They didn't wait for Tang Xuanzang, who was learning Buddhist scriptures from the west, but now they turned into local specialty vendors for no reason. Isn't this Monkey King poisonous?

The poisonous Monkey King has an unexpectedly good temper. Xingxian was still a little apprehensive at first, but he had heard that the Monkey King was notoriously irritable. Thinking that this person is very kind when starting a business, and even bargains with her!

The body of Xingxian is an apricot tree that has lived for hundreds of years. Thorn Ridge is hundreds of miles away, and Xingxian alone has monopolized several hills. , These apricots grow and fall year after year, except for a small part that are pecked by birds in the mountains, most of the rest are rotten and turned into soil. Those maids under her hands picked the best and sweetest ones every year, dried them and stored them. They didn't eat them themselves. Most of them were disguised as mountain people selling goods to exchange some daily necessities with passing Hu merchants.

Monsters do not eat wind and drink dew, they also want to live. The things made by mortals are very exquisite. At first, the monsters went to grab them directly. Later, after they found out that they had robbed them several times, the Hu merchants would rather detour than follow. Thorn Ridge passed by, and everyone was honest, pretending to be mountain people, and taking the local products of the mountain to exchange supplies with Hu merchants.

"There are 280 and six baskets of dried apricots in these two caves. We usually exchange them with Hu merchants. One basket is priced at two strings of money. I wonder how much the Great Sage wants?" If this person finds out that the purchase is expensive after going out, wouldn't it be bad luck to fly back and beat them up?

"Three strings of money and two baskets, I'll take all the dried apricots you have here, okay?" Boss Wu habitually began to haggle over the price, and he shouted that it didn't matter, and almost shocked the elegant and noble Aunt Xingxian.

"Can't you?" Seeing her face froze, Wu Hong was also startled, thinking that he had bargained too hard, and then looked at the basket of dried apricots, it was so big that it could almost be worth two It weighs thirty catties, and I don't know how many fresh apricots have been dried to save these dried apricots. Three strings of money and two baskets seem a bit too much?

"I, can I ask, how much rainbow candy can I exchange for three strings of money?"

"Exchange things, you wait and I'll do the math," Boss Wu immediately calculated in his heart, and for Li Shujing's sake, he gave Aunt Xingxian a fair price, "How about it, We are all on our own, I will give you ten packs of Skittles for this basket of dried apricots, do you think it will work?"

"All right, all right!" Xingxian froze for a moment. She didn't expect that such worthless dried apricots could be exchanged for so many candies with bright colors and very unique tastes. She was overjoyed and thought about it. The fairy asked in a low voice with some embarrassment, "Aside from my dried apricots, do we want any other local products?"

"What else do you have?" Boss Wu's eyes lit up.

Wu Hao never imagined that in the original book, the six gentlemen of thorny pine, cypress, juniper, bamboo, maple, and apricot, who spent all day in the mountains and forests reciting poems and fighting against each other, and drinking happily, would secretly become the little boss of a souvenir shop. Potential!

Listen to what Aunt Xingxian said about the secluded life of the gods——

"Eighteen Lord's real body is a pine tree. Our thorny ridge is hundreds of miles away. There are countless pine trees, large and small. I don't know how many pine nuts fall every year. In previous years, the pine nuts that Eighteen Lord gave us to eat were Pick the biggest one, and the pine nuts will be thick and sweet."

"Guzhigong and Lingkongzi's real bodies are cypress trees and cypress trees. Although these two don't have any good products, they can smoke good meat. If the Great Sage wants bacon, feel free to use your spiced beef Just trade with the two of them."

"The great sage Fuyunsou has seen it just now, and his real body is a green bamboo. Because of him, we can't finish eating the tender bamboo shoots that our Thorny Ridge produces every year, and we have learned the way of ordinary people to dry them." There are many dried bamboo shoots, but the dried bamboo shoots cannot be eaten alone, but it is very delicious when stewed with bacon."

"I also have Osmanthus and Wintersweet two demons under my command, who are good at making scented tea. If the Great Sage wants to buy scented tea, we have all kinds of scented tea from the mountains here."

Boss Wu was fascinated when he heard it. No wonder Guanyin Bodhisattva used this thorny ridge to break off the six roots of Tang Xuanzang. Nima's life like a fairy, can ordinary people control it?

Anyway, Wu Hong would definitely not be able to control it, what a good source of goods!And if the Six Demons of Thorn Ridge develop into a long-term customer, maybe they can buy a large warehouse here "by the way". He even has a good idea of ​​the place, which is on the top of the mountain where the naked ghost maple tree spirit's lair is.

Speaking of this naked ghost, it's pitiful. The other five monsters in Thorn Ridge each have their own specialties. Even Xingxian's two maids can make scented tea, but this one can't bring out even a little bit of local specialties. His real body is a maple tree, so the maple tree looks better. However, this world is cruel and ruthless. It looks good but can't be eaten. Therefore, the naked ghost can only look at the other people in Thorn Ridge. The business between the five monsters and the Monkey King is doing well, but he can't even exchange for a Skittle Candy!

"Who says you don't have anything to sell? You live in Baoshan and don't know it!" The profiteer boss Wu touched his chin, grabbed the naked ghost's shoulders, and abducted the poor monster to himself. In the well dug.

"Look at how nice your place is. There are natural and dry caves everywhere, so suitable for storage!" Wu Kong pointed to the piles of rocks all over the mountains and plains, as well as the large and small caves hidden under the rocks. Cave, "Do you think this will work? Our family has many caravans who want to go to the Western Regions to do business. For long-distance transport of goods, there must be a place to store goods in the middle. Other places are not safe. I am absolutely sure that you are here. Don't worry, look at this, you rent all these caves to me, and I will give you two hundred bags of skittles, one hundred catties of beef jerky, and one hundred altars of fine wine from Datang every year, what do you think?"

The naked ghost was stunned, and the other monsters were also stunned: After working with them for a long time, in the end, they couldn't make as much money as the maple tree spirit who can't do anything?Why?

"Cough~ Speaking of this dry cave, the old man also has quite a few, I wonder if the Great Sage wants more?" The Eighteenth Duke gave the naked ghost a sideways look, and brazenly began to dig the wall.

Naked ghost: "..." What about the brotherly love that was promised, and we share weal and woe?Shiba Gong, you shameless old bastard!

However, to the desperation of the naked ghost, afterward, Gu Zhigong, Ling Kongzi and even the seemingly inhuman Xingxian sister also expressed that there are many idle caves on their site, which can be rented out to Mr. Wu. The shameless Ling Kongzi even said that he could arrange for a few little monsters at home to guard the warehouse for Boss Wu, as long as he paid some wages every year.

Pooh!Who doesn't know that those little monsters in Ling Kongzi's family turn into a tree when they have nothing to do on weekdays, find a place to pestle for more than ten years, and "guard the warehouse for Boss Wu"?You can simply say, Boss Wu, I will plant two trees at the entrance of the cave for you, and you will pay these two trees a year?It's too shameless to take advantage of it, right?What about the morals of being a big monster?

What's annoying is that before the naked ghost came and exposed Ling Kongzi as a liar, Boss Wu readily agreed. He found out that there were many juniors in Ling Kongzi's family, and he even wanted to go to his house to pick someone out. It seemed that he was thinking too much. Hire some warehouse guards?

Now the other five monsters in Thorn Ridge are not calm anymore.

There are also younger generations in their family who have nothing to do, and now there is no Tang Xuanzang to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. In the wilderness of the Thorn Ridge, there is little oil and water. The younger generations in the family are basically unemployed. If you are so naughty, you might as well learn how to volley, put these naughty little guys under Monkey King's hands, and give this warehouse guard a serious job, isn't it?

Mo Li looked left and right, I don't know why, although I used to come to my aunt's place as a guest, but this time I came here, I always feel that the relationship between my aunt and the uncles seems to be much weaker?

As night was approaching, Wu Kong and several other monsters made an appointment to go to each house to recruit employees in turn the next day, so they followed Mo Li to Xingxian's cave.

Originally, the other monsters wanted to go with them, but Xingxian didn't know which nerve was wrong, and said that the night was getting dark, she was a weak woman living alone, it was not easy to entertain them big men, she was stunned. They are not allowed to go with them.

Shibagong & Guzhigong & Lingkongzi & Fuyunshou & Naked Ghost: "..."

Go to yours!It's as if you weren't the one who used to drink and have fun with us all night and sing poems against us!

Also, let’s forget about your eldest nephew Li Shujing, isn’t the Monkey King a man?Why can he go back to the cave with you to spend the night?

Xingxian didn't know that a few good friends were slandering her behind her back. Even if she knew, Xingxian could only sneer: You poor ghosts, can you be treated like the noble father of Party A?

Party A's father, Boss Wu, received a warm welcome in Aunt Xingxian's cave. In the original book, Xingxian entertained Elder Tang with poetry, singing and dancing, but Boss Wu didn't have this. The protagonist has been treated, and Xingxian invited him over because he really wanted to ask him for help on a personal matter——

"When I was young, I had a sister whose real body was a plum tree. Unfortunately, I was living outside. Last year, I heard from the geese passing by that there was also a plum tree that became a spirit in the palace of the Tang Dynasty. I heard that Elder Tang It's Tang Wang's younger brother, I wonder if I can ask Elder Tang to look at the plum tree for me, my sister calls herself Mei Ruohua..."

"Pfft!!" Boss Wu spat out a mouthful of apricot blossom wine.

Why does this Mei Ruohua sound so familiar?
