Seeking the Way of Immortality

Chapter 683: Market



The next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone into the simple earthen house, Wang Laowu unexpectedly sat on the edge of the bed, dazed, staring directly at the rising sun in the eastern sky with his cloudy eyes.

Wang Laoshi, who was lying on the ground and resting, didn't notice it at all. It wasn't until the sound of dogs barking in the distance that he woke up.

"Lao Wu, Lao Wu, what's wrong with you!" Wang Laoshi exclaimed.

Wang Laowu came back to his senses, an ugly smile appeared on his stiff face, and he nodded to Wang Laoshi as a response.

"Hey, it's okay. Your expression just now scared me!"

Wang Laoshi was talking to himself. Wang Laowu had no expression other than a silly smile. It was not known if he heard what Wang Laoshi said.

'ah! ’

After stretching, Wang Laoshi stood up like a carp.

"Lao Wu, my eldest brother will take you to the market today." Wang Laoshi said excitedly.

Wang Laowu nodded dully, still without any words, and ignored Wang Laoshi's muttering to himself, but once again looked at the red sun rising in the east.

There seemed to be something in those dull eyes, but it also seemed like it was just chaos.

After simply drinking some rice porridge, Wang Laoshi took Wang Laowu and set off to the village head, where Wang Hu had been waiting for a long time.

"Brother Tiger."

"Honest, let's set off now." Wang Hu glanced at Wang Laowu behind Wang Laoshi, and without saying much, he walked towards the market concisely and clearly.

The so-called market is actually a small trading market, a small exchange market composed of nearby villagers. It is more about bartering, and there is relatively less currency such as silver.

But this is already a luxury for Brother Wang Laoshi!

What's more, this time Wang Laoshi had a lot of goods in his hands, and they were still fresh living animals.

The market is only five miles away from Xinghua Village. With the strength of three people, it only takes two and a quarter hours. On Wang Hu's load are four or five golden pheasants that look like pheasants. They look better than Wang Laoshi's pheasants. There are many, and the price is relatively much higher.

"Huzi, there is another mountain product!" A familiar villager shouted loudly when he saw Wang Hu.

"Yes! Third brother." Wang Hu responded.

"Hey, why do these two little brothers look so unfamiliar! But this luck is not ordinary!" The man whom Wang Hu called third brother asked in surprise.

"Oh, this is a brother of my family. I used to sell the prey on my behalf. It took me several days to save so much. No, he insists on going to the market with me today." Wang Tiger laughed and said.

Obviously, Wang Hu is much more experienced in dealing with people, and he only speaks three words when meeting people!

After finishing speaking, Wang Hu couldn't help but look at Wang Laoshi, but what surprised him was that this time, Wang Laoshi rarely dismantled him.

What made Wang Hu angry was that this guy was dragging his stupid brother around to look at something, with a mean look on his face!

"Haha, this kid is probably looking at someone else's pretty girl!" The third brother said with a careless smile.

"Yes! It's time to find a wife!"

"Huzi, what's that? I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" the third brother said with a laugh.

"Okay, third brother, you go ahead and do your work first! I'll take a look around later." Wang Hu said with a smile.

"Rice, rice, sold cheaply!"

"Fresh apricots! Sweet and sour."

“Authentic wild boar meat, if you miss it today, it will be gone!”

"Floral cloth, floral cloth, bright colors, fashionable and trendy."

"Honest, what are you looking at?" Wang Hu patted Wang Laoshi and asked with a smile.

Wang Laoshi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Nothing! I was just taking a look."

"Let's go! Let's go over there and sell it." After saying this, Wang Hu took the lead and walked forward.

"Fresh crucian carp that was just caught costs twenty cents a pound."

"Sure-colored mountain cats are a good material for making cotton robes!"

"A pair of male and female golden pheasants only costs two hundred cents. It only costs two hundred cents."

"Hey, Huzi, here we come!"

"How's business today?"

"It's okay, we just need the last mountain cat!"

"This is a popular mountain product!"

"Isn't it! Of the three mountain cats, only one is left when we arrived here!"

"Who are these two little brothers?"

"Oh, my brother." Wang Hu introduced simply. As he spoke, he put his hands together to lay out the wild products for sale. Over there, Wang Laoshi followed suit and laid out four rabbits and two pheasants.

"Hey, brother, how do you sell mountain cats?"

"Hey, big man, how do you sell your golden pheasant?"

"Little brother, how do you sell your pheasants?"

Wang Laoshi went out to sell things for the first time. He didn't know how to deal with it. His face turned red with anxiety and he was at a loss.

"A rabbit costs two hundred and fifty cents, a pheasant costs one hundred and forty cents, and a golden pheasant costs two hundred cents." Wang Hu said with a smile.

"Oh, the price is quite reasonable. Give me a pheasant."

"Okay, wait a minute." Wang Hu shouted excitedly, handing the pheasant to the buyer quickly.

"Well, this is one hundred and forty coins, please keep it."

"Okay, walk slowly."

"Brother Hu, thank you!" Wang Laoshi took the money handed over by Wang Hu and said sheepishly.

"It's okay. When I first came to set up a stall, I was not as good as you!" Wang Hu smiled and returned to his stall, minding his own business.

Wang Laoshi was not stupid. After Wang Hu taught him once, he followed suit and started to shout.

Compared with other novices who had just come to set up stalls, he was more open-minded and did not have the shyness that novices could not let go of.

Yes, he was a jerk who didn't know anything. What was shyness? It probably didn't exist in his dictionary.

Wang Laoshi was shouting, and Wang Laowu squatted beside Wang Laoshi, watching the people coming and going around him, all kinds of people, with a flash of surprise in his confused eyes, but that light was fleeting and no one could see it.

Over there, Wang Hu's five golden pheasants had been sold out, and he was watching Wang Laoshi shouting hard, and he had no intention of coming forward to help.

"Hey, this jerk is a good businessman."

Wang Hu watched Wang Laoshi shout like an old hand, and it didn't take long for four rabbits and two pheasants to be sold out.

More than a thousand coins were in Wang Laoshi's arms. He was so excited that he lost his mind. He held the coins in his hands and was very happy. On the contrary, Wang Laowu was sitting there, watching the people on the street without any distractions.

"Let's go! Let's buy some rice and flour first, otherwise there will be too many people." Wang Hu did not hit him, but reminded him with a smile.

"Oh, I almost forgot." Wang Laoshi quickly put away the coins, pulled Wang Laowu up, and followed Wang Hu to the depths of the market.
