Chapter 468
The Emperor's Demon Realm is located in the east of the Zhenxuan Continent. It used to be just a small city. Later, after slowly developing and expanding, it became a category squeezed into the four major regions. Although its area is not comparable to the Tianxuan Realm, it still It is not much different from the endless wasteland.
In addition, the environment here is also very good. Although there are no mountains and rivers, there are many rivers and lakes. If you observe carefully, you can find that the proportion of water and land here is actually far greater than that of land. , making people look like they are like islands.
This is exactly the case, here is rich in fish, and many mortals make a living by fishing. Whether it is a village or a small town, they are all built near water, and the same is true for some other sects. The place is also more convenient.
And here, in addition to some scattered small land, there are five relatively large lands, the largest of which is in the center of the Emperor Demon Realm, which is called the Emperor Demon Island, where the Emperor Demon Gate is located. place.
Thousands of miles to the east of this place is a place called Chitian Island, where one of the four major sects of the Emperor Demon Sect is located. The territory of the Charming Land Sect, ten thousand miles to the west is Yaoxuan Island, which is the territory of the Demon Xuanzong, and thousands of miles to the north is Huangyao Island, which is the territory of the Huangzong.
The main center is the Emperor Demon Gate, and the four sides are the demonic body, the mysterious and yellow heart of heaven and earth, with the body and mind as a copper wall and iron wall to guard the Emperor Demon's Domain, so that foreign enemies will never have a chance to invade. This is the Emperor Demon Gate. fierce.
And on this day, on a small island under the jurisdiction of Tianzong, a young man in ordinary gray clothes, carrying a bag full of fish, walked into a bustling market and came to a fish in front of the merchant.
As soon as the young man's eyes moved, he put the bag in his hand on the merchant's counter, and then asked directly: "Boss, let's make a price!"
Hearing the young man's words, the slightly obese businessman in black was taken aback for a moment, then turned his eyes slightly, looked directly at the fish in the bag, and flipped it left and right with his hands, Presumably checking the freshness of the fish.
After a while, the guy's small eyes turned around, he coughed twice, and then replied: "Young man! Although your fish has just been caught, the body of the fish has already been damaged. This kind of fish I can only give you a hundred coppers at most."
"One hundred coppers? Boss! You can't be so shameless to bully newcomers, right? Although my fish is indeed damaged, those damages are caused by the loss of fish scales, so this damage should not affect the price of the fish. I have at least [-] fish here. According to your purchase price, wouldn’t it only cost three or four copper coins for each fish? Are you bluffing me?” the young man said angrily.
But the boss was not happy about it, he sneered and said: "Haha! Young man, don't talk about this and that, don't think that one hundred copper coins is less, you go to other places to sell, if it is higher than one hundred copper coins, I'll give you another two hundred coppers..."
"But I want to tell you something very important. Besides my shop, the nearest fishmonger is at least ten miles away. This means that maybe you haven't found a new buyer yet. , your fish has dried out, so are you really going to do this?"
"You!" The young man was slightly angry, as if at a loss for words, but facing the exploitation of these black-hearted merchants, he really had no way to deal with it, and more importantly, this was the third time he had encountered such a thing. This time he didn't sell it out of anger, and later he heard that the merchant was fair, so he came here, but he didn't expect...
"Okay, okay! I know that it's not easy for you fishermen, so let's do this! I'll give you another fifty, so it's okay?" , He just took a step back in terms of price.
And it seems that the young people took advantage of it and brought the price to an acceptable range, but in fact it was just a psychological effect. If more than 30 fish were sold for 150 copper coins, the young people were losing money no matter what.
Obviously, the young man also understands this, but he also understands that his fish are about to die of dehydration. If he does not sell them now, it will be more difficult to sell them after they die. Therefore, he has no choice but to I can nod.
"Hahaha! Is that right, young man? But it doesn't matter. If you have more fish to sell in the future, I can charge a higher price. It's not easy for everyone to do business. After everyone gets what they need, I can understand it, my old Xu. I will still be considerate..." The boss said with a smile, as if he wanted to develop the youth into a long-term business partner.
That's right, young people seem to be physically strong. If they work harder and work harder, it's not a problem to catch more than 30 fish in a day. This is a high output!So how could the boss let it go?
In short, after some exchanges, the young man also agreed to the boss's request. Xu was happy, and the boss added another fifty copper coins. According to the basic price of fish, two hundred copper coins is actually very close to thirty fish. The real value of the fish is gone, so this also makes the young man feel a little joy.
"That's right, this boss is indeed better than other bosses, but he is not a good person, but a good business." After putting away the two hundred copper coins, the young man looked like this on the surface and thought to himself inwardly.
As the so-called first life, second time acquaintance, the two of them chatted and let go completely, the young man knew the name of the boss, his name was Xu Da, who had been a fishmonger for generations, and this Xu Da also knew the young man His name is Zheng Xie, who just came to this island not long ago.
"Tsk tsk, hehehe! Xiao Zheng! I'm a little surprised that a young guy like you would actually come to this small island to develop!" After hearing some things that Zheng Xie fabricated, Xu Da was a little bit surprised, and a little bit He sighed and said, "This place is too small, and most capable young people will go to the big island to develop. After all, there are many opportunities there, and it is not impossible to make a fortune..."
"So! There are fewer and fewer young people who are fishing on this small island now, except for some older generations. That's the case with my family's kid, who left with a big sailboat a year ago. Here, I went to Haidong Island, which is about a thousand miles away from me..." Xu Da said bitterly.
"Hey! Although I used to support him to go out, after all, the bird's wings should grow and fly around, so that he can become a person in charge, but this child must miss his home when he is fighting outside! For more than a year, except for the first few letters, I have not contacted my family for eight or nine months..."
"If it hadn't been for the child of the old Chen's family who wrote a letter recently and mentioned that the little bastard is fine, I would have thought he had died outside? It really made me worry and angry!" Xu Da said. He patted the table, feeling a little excited.
Hearing this, Zheng Xie completely played the role of a listener. He didn't interrupt any of Xu Da's words, but just listened quietly. There are many old people who are looking forward to the return of the wanderers, but the wanderers outside have no way of knowing their thoughts, so there is never a certainty when they will return.
Perhaps only when those wanderers are old, will they understand their feelings!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! When I saw the young man, I thought of that bastard in my family, so I said so much nonsense, don't mind!" Xu Da calmed down, returned to normal, and said.
"It's okay, I haven't chatted with people like this for a long time, the boss's words touched me a little bit." Zheng Xie replied.
"Oh? Hehehehe, I don't know if the elders in the little brother's family are okay? You must be worried when you come here?" Xu Shi chatted with Zheng Xie, and Xu Da asked subconsciously.
But these questions made Zheng Xie's heart ache, and there was a moment of silence.
