Chapter 41 Opening a Store
Buyi walked very slowly all the way, and now there is no boundary out of the Ming Dynasty. The big city in front of him is the border between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty. After going out of this city and bypassing a big mountain, you can get to the Tang Dynasty. On the way, you have to go through three checkpoints to pass.
When he saw this big city, he suddenly didn't want to go to Tang.
It is recorded in the book that this big city is the largest city of the Ming Dynasty at the border of the Tang Dynasty, and is usually responsible for the support and supply of the fortress. After leaving this big city and walking forward for half a day, you can see a magnificent fortress standing in the middle of the mountain in front of you, firmly blocking the road between the two countries. Anyone who comes and goes through this fort has to go through a rigorous inspection, even the caravans in the past.
This fortress is built between a big mountain, which clearly separates the boundaries of the two empires. There has been no war for hundreds of years, and only such a canyon is passable and difficult to defend. Therefore, although it is located on the border, everyone lives and work in peace and does not feel the war. The atmosphere.
This mountain is called Red Fox Mountain. In the past, there were many red foxes on the mountain, hence the name. Rumor has it that there are a large number of monsters on this mountain, and many monks often go to the mountain, but ordinary people have never seen them.
Although Red Fox Mountain is not as majestic or very high as the Shoushan Mountains, it is also 3,000 miles long, 200 miles wide, and the highest place is 4 kilometers. It is impossible for ordinary people to walk through the mountain without passing through the fortress. Not to mention the many fierce beasts in the mountains, there are also many monsters rampant, which is no Doubtless, even in the fortress in front of you, there are many monks who protect the security of the fortress all year round. It is said that the highest cultivation is a high man named Li Shang, who is already a Jindan monk and a member of the royal family of Ming.
Although there are monsters rampant in this Red Fox Mountain, they rarely come out. Generally, they only move in the mountains, as if they have any agreement with human beings, and do not come out to harm people. Only a small number of monsters who have just started their intelligence will come out to harm people.
It can be seen that the atmosphere of heaven and earth here is very sufficient, which is a good place for monks. If you put a high-level array to gather aura, it is simply better than the ordinary spiritual mountain. Therefore, he believes that these Taoists sitting on the border gate here are not as hard as expected, but very The happiness.
Seeing this, he suddenly didn't want to go to Mingguo. He opened a small shop here and slowly experienced the fun of life.
Entering the city, I looked for clothes casually and saw several facade houses for sale. The price was not very expensive. I picked up a small shop in a remote place, bought them, and lived in on the same day. Then he went out to buy iron furnaces, charcoal fires and other things, looking like he really wanted to open a shop. However, he was still young. Although several people saw him busy, they shook their heads and expressed disbelief.
The people here are very enthusiastic. As soon as the cloth clothes moved over, some people came up to watch, but when they saw that the cloth clothes were really open, and it was an iron shop, they all said that they were not optimistic. Although it is a border gate and consumes a large amount of weapons, in the early years, the supply of military weapons was contracted. Therefore, except for those companies, the business of other companies is not very good. Moreover, cloth clothes is still a child, and it is even more impossible for others to believe it. In this, cloth clothes just smiled faintly.
Some people only looked at it a few times and then left. There were still a few people who persuaded the cloth clothes to do something else. When they saw that they couldn't twist him, they helped him. They were very enthusiastic. The cloth clothes were a little overwhelmed. The people here were really too enthusiastic.
"Neighbors and neighbors, do me a small favor. Be polite. In the future, everyone will live together and help!" A middle-aged man said so.
Three people came to help, all of whom were neighbors. Seeing that Buyi was still young, they came up to help. However, recently, they suddenly found that they could only help a little favor. Originally, they wanted to make great efforts to make this future neighbor owe a favor, but they didn't expect that this child was really not simple, weighing more than 300 catties. The iron pier was moved as soon as he grabbed it with both hands. His strength was really amazing.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt. I'll treat you to dinner later. You three must be honored!" The cloth only moved the forged furniture to its place. These three helped to clean up the other furniture. In half a day, they cleaned them up inside and outside.
"Hey, the young man is good. He is really strong. He is much more powerful than the blacksmith in the east of the city. He can't move this iron pier weighing more than 300 catties!" The uncle smiled naively.
"That's right, I really didn't see how such a thin body can move!" The neighbor's aunt was very surprised.
The cloth just smiled and did not explain. He finished all this and invited the three of them to dinner. I just bought this store and bought equipment, and there are still hundreds of taels of silver left, which is just enough for the expenses of these months, so I am not afraid of no silver money.
Speaking of eating, the three happily agreed. They asked questions along the way, and Bu Yi also answered patiently one by one. In the end, the aunt was about to introduce his daughter-in-law to him, which made Bu Yi suddenly lose his elegant demeanor, sweated a lot, and hurriedly pushed off.
Although the facade he rented is remote, there are quite a lot of ordinary people nearby, not the main street. The best restaurant nearby is led by the uncle. After only two streets, he arrived at this inn called Hakkaxiang. This inn is medium-sized and is a three-story building. At this moment, it is lunchtime, and people are still There are quite a lot, only private rooms on the third floor and a few empty seats.
The private room called Yuexiangju was wrapped up, and four people made it, and the cloth clothes looked at the three enthusiastic neighbors.
This middle-aged man, whose name is Xu Ning, has only one son in his family. He is already studying in a private school and does not come back during the day. In addition, his daughter-in-law went back to her mother's house today, so she is idle and has nothing to do. He comes to help. He usually lives on helpers, and his life is not bad. Today, he met a new neighbor. Come and have a look. The aunt's name is Su Cui. She is in her 40s. Her daughter has married, her son has been drafted to the fortress, and the old man has only worked outside all year round, and there is only one person in the family. I have nothing to do on weekdays. I can help people do odd jobs, and I am very enthusiastic. Finally, this is an old man, laughing, often smiling on his face, but few words. His name is Bai Shuangqing.
After ordering something, the four people began to eat. While saying this, they chatted over and over again. After a while, Fu Yi initially understood the character and temper of the three people, and secretly had some points of calculation in their hearts.
After dinner and saying goodbye to several people, the cloth returned to the shop and began to get up.
He doesn't want to try again. This time, he wants to make this small shop like iron, and no one can sneak up. His understanding of the prohibition has recently improved. Therefore, the ability of cloth has been greatly improved, and the concealment has been greatly enhanced.
This arrangement has been two days.
After the arrangement, the cultivation of the cloth clothes is about to condense, which is also tiring, and the loss of mana is severe. He hurried to meditated. However, he also found that the more mana is consumed each time, the faster the cultivation will be enhanced. However, when the mana is exhausted, it proves that there is no sense of security. If someone attacks at that time, the consequences must be very serious, which is a contradictory problem.
After recovering, the cloth hung a sign to recruit apprentices on the door and began to work. He pulled the bellows and built it by himself. Although it was a little slow, it was very comfortable.
He bought a lot of ordinary iron ore, raised the fire and began to smelt iron. The work of refining raw ore is very rough and boring. After a whole day, more than 200 catties of raw iron were extracted. However, even at night, no one came to apply for the job. It seems that it really answered Xu Ning's words. This place is really too remote. This job is really not favored by others. However, the cloth can do it by itself, and there is no need to ask others.
Iron smelting is a hard work. The amount of activity in a day is even greater than practice. At the end of the day, the cloth coat obviously felt that the muscles were sore and numb, and the body felt a load. Feeling here, there was a little smile on his face. I thought that physical exercise would stop, but I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to forge.
After dark, after extinguishing the fire and arranging the array in the room, the cloth began to practice.
He has a little experience of the five elements these days and slowly studied them at night.
