Chapter 12 The Way to Make a Living
Wang Sheng contentedly left the Meng School, still smiling when he left.
What made the people around very puzzled was that the instructor who pointed at Wang Sheng's nose and told him to get lost before, sent Wang Sheng out with a smile on his face, and the two of them had a great conversation, with no previous barriers at all, which was just too amazing.
When Wang Sheng left, some curious people went to ask the instructor what was going on. The instructor dared to tell the truth, and could only say that he had been sensitized by Wang Sheng's desire to learn, and had specially instructed Wang Sheng on the knowledge of Soul Enlightenment.
People naturally didn't believe it, but on the surface, it seemed like it was really the same thing. The instructor wasn't stupid enough to tell Wang Sheng that he had seven Carefree City Killer tags in his hand, Wang Sheng dared to kill Carefree City's killers, couldn't he still kill a talkative instructor?
Wang Sheng finally knew what he should do next. Relying on the Yuan Soul alone to spontaneously absorb the spiritual qi, then when would one have to wait to go? Relying on elixirs alone is not a solution either, when laying the foundation, it is best not to be tricky like this, this is the experience of the instructor.
So many big families, rich ones abound, but in the Yuan Soul Enlightenment Stage, they have not seen any of them using spiritual pills to cultivate their own children. Wang Sheng's Yuan Soul was innately crippled, so using the Peiyuan Dan wasn't a big problem, but after the Yuan Soul had been replenished, he shouldn't use this kind of uprooting tactic.
Cultivation cultivation, naturally, is to practice. Practicing requires gong methods, which are the things that really solidify the foundation. The big families usually had gong methods for their clansmen to practice, originally the Song family also had them, however, Wang Sheng was not a member of the Song family, but he had no way to enjoy the Song family's benefits.
That steward was willing to give Wang Sheng a single house, already for the face of Song Yan, the cousin lady and Wang Sheng's gift, as for the promised examples at that time, Wang Sheng could not see it from beginning to end. As for the Song family's gongfu, is not even think about it, Wang Sheng also do not have this luxury.
Wang Sheng lacks gongfa, according to the instructions of the instructor, in addition to the big families, some big merchants also have the corresponding gongfa for sale, except that there are a few things in this world is never cheap, the spirit dan is a kind of gongfa is also a kind of gongfa, to the ordinary people, that are luxury goods in the luxury goods.
Coincidentally, in this small town, Bao Qing Yu Tang is one of the top big merchant houses, which has all sorts of techniques for sale. However, the instructor said that even if there were gongfa, they were only simple foundation building gongfa, and it was unlikely that there was anything too advanced. Advanced merit laws could either be found in certain big families and clans, or could only be seen at auctions in some big cities.
Advanced techniques for the current Wang Sheng has no meaning at all, Wang Sheng wants the basic foundation building techniques, Bao Qing Yu Tang to have if very appropriate. The only problem was that Wang Sheng didn't have any money.
A few days ago, he had blackmailed twenty Peiyuan Dan with the Killer Card of Carefree City to repair his residual soul. But at that time, Wang Sheng said to the shopkeeper that this matter would be cleared up, and that he would get the Peiyuan Dan, and would not pursue the matter of Bao Qing Yu Tang hiring killers to deal with him from now on. If you want the technique, you can only spend money to buy it.
Their own body equipment and those weapons of course can not be used to exchange money, that is their own this period of time to settle down the capital. However, in this world where many things were still in ancient times, Wang Sheng wanted to get some money, it was really not a troublesome thing.
Inside the living materials, the firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy, vinegar, and tea, there was also sugar. However, Wang Sheng from Bao Qing Yu Tang back to the pile of things, sugar, but only gray sugar, the most crude sugar, just have a sweet flavor, but the appearance is really ugly. Not only that, there were quite a few impurities in it.
For an expert who had undergone brutal wilderness survival training, all kinds of living materials needed to be able to be solved by locally sourced materials. Wang Sheng had not only been trained, but also understood a lot of things, so the yellow mud decolorization method of manufacturing white sugar was almost no difficulty for Wang Sheng.
Two days later, Wang Sheng carried a fist-sized white cloth bag and leisurely paced into Bao Qing Yu Tang. In fact, there is more than one big trading company in the city, but Bao Qing Yu Tang is the largest, and Wang Sheng has already done two transactions before, so it is better to be familiar with it than to do it, so Wang Sheng chose to go with Bao Qing Yu Tang.
"Man, call the shopkeeper, there is business to talk about." In Bao Qing Yu Tang, Wang Sheng is familiar with the door, enter the door directly yell up.
Buddy was still to say a few words, see is Wang Sheng, without saying a word, take the initiative to invite Wang Sheng to the back of the living room, good tea, and then go to look for the fat shopkeeper.
Not long after, the fat shopkeeper sat opposite to Wang Sheng, smiled and greeted Wang Sheng with an arch.
"Sell something, boss look at the value of geometry?" Wang Sheng was also smiling, living a businessman, pointed to the small cloth bag placed on his side, then pushed it over to the fat shopkeeper.
The fat shopkeeper was not as nervous as he was last time when he faced Wang Sheng, everyone was doing business, naturally communicating as equals. The last thing, has already passed, is not it?
Open the white cloth bag, the fat shopkeeper took a look at the things wrapped in it, and his eyes lit up: "What is this?"
Wang Sheng brought is definitely a good thing, but the fat shopkeeper actually do not recognize, just this white selling, but is really pleasing to the eye.
"Taste it!" Wang Sheng smiled and pointed out. The heart can not help but despise, even a little white sugar have not seen, poor man.
The fat shopkeeper stretched out his fat fingers, very ungainly in that small packet of white sugar pinched out a few, put into the mouth. A pure sweetness in the mouth to diffuse, sweet silk not mixed with a little bit of other flavors, more not a little bit of other dregs, really can be sweet to the heart.
This flavor, the fat shopkeeper dare to swear, this is his life tasted the best sugar. In this instant, the fat shopkeeper had already thought of how mouth-watering it would be if this white sugar could appear on the tables of those rich and noble families.
"Name a price!" Wang Sheng didn't say anything more and directly asked the price.
"A catty of gray sugar twenty copper coins, you this white ......" The fat shopkeeper suddenly did not know what to call this white sugar instead, hesitated for a moment.
"White sugar, or frosting." Wang Sheng added.
"Sugar Frosting, good name!" The fat shopkeeper directly ignored the too straightforward name of white sugar and chose Sugar Frost. This choice, and the ancients were practically identical.
"How about at least one silver coin a catty?" The fat shopkeeper looked at Wang Sheng and inquired.
"Whatever, if you can sell it for one gold coin a catty, that's your skill." Wang Sheng didn't care how much a catty of white sugar sold for. With such a little white sugar, there wouldn't be a few gold coins to sell the flowers, what Wang Sheng really wanted to sell was the technology of sugar making, "The method of making this sugar frosting is exclusively for sale, so name your price!"
"Sizzle!" The fat shopkeeper sucked in a mouthful of cold air. Not selling frosting, but selling the method of making frosting, it was indeed a big business.
"Your honored guest wait a moment, I can't be the master, I still have to ask the proprietor for advice." The fat shopkeeper had been doing business all his life, how could he not realize that this was probably the biggest business he had ever encountered in his life? At that moment, he didn't care if it would expose more secrets of Po Hing Yeo Hall, and directly stated that he wanted to ask for instructions.
Wang Sheng reached out and made a gesture of invitation, letting the fat shopkeeper make himself at home. Talking about business sometimes can not make their own price, may be at a disadvantage, let the other side of the price, not satisfied with their own plus is a safe practice.
The fat shopkeeper left and not too long, of course, left with the bag of sugar. Just a few minutes later, the fat shopkeeper returned to the living room. However, this time, the fat shopkeeper came back not as the master, but just a servant, the real master appeared, but a veiled woman.
This should be the real owner of Bao Qing Yu Tang. Wang Sheng did not understand how she would appear in this small place, Bao Qing Yu Tang is a chain of big business, this woman mysteriously appeared in this remote area, do not know what purpose.
Of course, the other side has what purpose and Wang Sheng has nothing to do, Wang Sheng as long as you get what you want on the line, and who is not doing business?
"The method of making frosting, exclusive distribution?" The masked woman sat across from Wang Sheng and opened her mouth to directly confirm what Wang Sheng was buying and selling.
Wang Sheng nodded, "If the proprietor is interested, set a price!" Seeing what the masked woman was going to say, Wang Sheng grabbed in front of him and added: "I don't know many things, and I don't know the market, the proprietor you look at the price, and if it's suitable, we'll close the deal."
The masked woman had thought of letting Wang Sheng open price, now Wang Sheng took the initiative to say that he did not know the market, but let the masked woman difficult. Businessmen seeking profit is nature, open high, they are not comfortable, open low, and afraid of Wang Sheng is not satisfied, it is a little difficult to do.
"In business, how can your guest guarantee that this is an exclusive sale?" The masked woman did not open the price, but asked a question first: "Please bear with me if I am rude. As far as I know, your guest's Yuan Soul is only of an unimpressive grade, and even the Yuan Soul's oath is not very binding on your guest. How can you guarantee that you won't sell this method to another family?"
The Yuan Soul oath was a constraint for many Yuan Soul experts in this world, after swearing with the Yuan Soul, if the oath was violated, the Yuan Soul could not be upgraded for the rest of their lives. This was a kind of heart constraint, and it was also a usual method used between many experts.
If Wang Sheng was also a Yuan Soul expert, the Yuan Soul oath could certainly be constrained. The problem was that Wang Sheng's Yuan Soul was originally of an unimpressive grade, so what if it could not be upgraded? It could not be upgraded in the first place, so what was the point of binding?
Wang Sheng already knew something about the Great Oath of Yuan Soul from the mouth of the instructor, so he naturally knew what this masked woman was talking about. The masked woman's question was indeed a question for her, but it was not a question for Wang Sheng at all.
"I won't sell it if I say I won't sell it." Wang Sheng laughed, "I can easily take out ten thousand similar methods. Do you want the snow-white jade-like salt? I also know the method. Anything you want to improve, I can tell you the way, as long as you pay the price. Do you think that I would smash my own signboard because of a small method of making frosting?"
Once these words came out, the masked woman could not yet see how, but the fat shopkeeper was already drawing several cold breaths in a row. The entire person seemed like a monster that only knew how to inhale but not exhale.
