Chapter 1038: A Sudden Turn of Events
"Three thousand and five..."
Hearing this, Ye Fan was slightly silent.
Can three thousand and five thousand buy the life of a powerful beast master?
"You said your breathing technique practice is not smooth. What's the reason?" After a while of silence, Ye Fan asked again.
"It's just not smooth." The guard replied. Perhaps he realized something was wrong, and he anxiously took out a yellowish and worn book.
"I don't quite recognize some words here. Can you help me see if my interpretation is accurate?"
"Okay." Ye Fan took the book, flipped through two pages, and immediately closed the book: "It's all wrong. Your interpretation of it this way, logically speaking, can't even be practiced."
"Didn't you learn how to read?"
"I know some simple words." The guard replied, "I think... that's enough."
"How old are you?"
"Sir, I'm thirty-six years old."
"Thirty-six..." Ye Fan was silent again, looked at the guard's embarrassed eyes, and finally just shook his head.
"It's okay, everyone has their own destiny. There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person."
"At least you have spent half your life with a wife and children by your side, and a stable job, which is considered pretty good."
"Haha, your Excellency is right." Ye Fan said this, and the guard also smiled. "I have no future in this life, but I am just a human being. Having a good home is considered complete."
"Yes, it is always happy to be content." Ye Fan nodded: "Do you have a son or a daughter?"
"My son, he is more than ten years old this year." The guard replied. Speaking of his son, he smiled broadly: "I have not studied, but I have sent my son to study."
"He went to high school in the city and his grades were pretty good."
"Has your son inherited your talent?" Ye Fan said.
"That's not true." The guard smiled: "He has no talent for controlling beasts, and he has no interest in learning martial arts. It seems that he is not suitable for fighting and killing."
"It's just suitable for reading a book or something."
"It's good to study. If you can take the official examination or something in the future, it can be considered a way out." Ye Fan replied, nodded, and not far away, a long street also came into view.
The long street is obviously specially repaired, with each shop having its own shop. There is a wide plaque on the street, with three big characters written on it.
"Dragon Pattern Street."
"A street dedicated to selling golden dates with dragon patterns?" Ye Fan saw some shops. On the shops, the golden dates were inexplicably dazzling, all listed individually, and even more, they were contained in ancient wooden boxes.
"Why is a date so particular?"
"There are many things to pay attention to in golden dates with dragon patterns." The guard led Ye Fan, who also became interested at this time: "Since it is named after the dragon pattern, the quality of the golden dates is distinguished by the dragon pattern on it."
"Those with dull and stiff dragon patterns are considered inferior, while those with lively and lively patterns are superior. The best golden dates with dragon patterns, the dragon patterns on the dates are like real dragons coming into the world, lifelike."
"The dragon pattern looks good, but what impact does it have on the quality of the dates? Does it taste sweeter?" Ye Fan looked at the people coming and going and put away Qiongqi.
"Whether it's fragrant or sweet is another matter. The key is that it's precious." The guard replied and said with a smile: "Although the Dragon Pattern Golden Date is not a spiritual fruit, it sells well."
"Use it to give gifts or something, especially a strong person like you must know that sometimes when people reach a certain level and level, they have seen all kinds of treasures, and it is meaningless to give them ordinary treasures. On the contrary, some rare things are more popular, right? ”
"Oh, it's specially used for giving gifts." Ye Fan understood, and after taking a look at the crowded streets, he was a little puzzled: "But no matter how rare it is, it is still a common thing. Is it worth so many people buying it?"
"Sir, you may not know something about this." The guard replied: "Things are determined by people. As long as people pursue it, even if it is a mortal thing, it cannot be called a mortal."
"Just like wine, the best wine in the world, Minghufang has seven buckets of it. At weddings and funerals, when welcoming people and seeing off guests, everyone who gets a pot of Minghufang will give a thumbs up. In the early years, not to mention Minghufang Even a bottle of the wine sold by the shop can be sold for 10,000 yuan or even 100,000 yuan.”
"You said that wine is made from grain. The wine bottles in Minghufang are worth 10,000 yuan. Why are the wines we drink only 21 bottles with the wine... Isn't this Dragon Pattern Golden Date... Is this reasonable?”
"Understood." The guard's words were clear and coherent, and Ye Fan nodded.
"I tell you, your Excellency, you can also buy some of these dragon-patterned golden dates." The guard struck while the iron was hot: "Your Excellency is not a human being, but human relations are always necessary."
"You said that in this world, there are some things that can only go further if you come and go."
"Do you have any recommendations?" Ye Fan asked.
"I just want to recommend a store to you." The guard was delighted and pointed to the golden jujube store third from the end: "That store is a time-honored store on this street. The golden dates they sell are not only full. , the dragon patterns are even more excellent, even the rumored real dragon golden dates, there are occasionally a few of them.”
"In this way..." Ye Fan listened, looked at the guard, and understood something.
"Take me to that store, do you get a commission?"
"Uh..." Upon hearing this, the guard was slightly stunned, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face again.
"Take me there." Ye Fan waved his hand casually without waiting for the guard to explain.
"Okay, I'll take you there right now." The guard quickly agreed and took Ye Fan straight to the store. At the same time, he said: "Sir, you are such a good person. No wonder he became such a powerful beast master."
"I'm not a good person." Ye Fan waved his hand.
Snap, snap, snap.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the door of the store. The store owner was a middle-aged man with a sinister face. As soon as he walked out, the guard hurriedly approached him and whispered to the store owner.
Ye Fan stood where he was. His five senses were now different from those before. Although he had no intention of listening to the conversation between the two, a few vague words still entered his ears.
The man from out of town, rich, is a fat pig, kill him ruthlessly...
"This man is quite powerful, with two faces." Ye Fan's face turned darker, thinking that the guards on the road had shown little respect, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
I felt sorry for this guy for a second, thinking that he had a good talent for controlling beasts, but because of his lack of place and knowledge, he missed the opportunity to use his talent.
The guy who co-wrote it is using his talents elsewhere, right?
"Sir, the store owner and I are acquaintances. I just made an agreement with him to give you the lowest price." The guard hadn't noticed anything strange about Ye Fan yet, so he happily patted his chest: "You can buy it with confidence. "
"Okay." Ye Fan didn't say anything more, passed the guard, and casually picked up a golden date: "How much does this golden date cost?"
"Sir, this golden date is of high quality." The shop owner held out three fingers, "It only costs three thousand...oh no, thirty thousand."
"Thirty thousand." A vein popped up on Ye Fan's forehead, and he picked up the one on the top layer, "Where's this one?"
"This one is better." Seeing that Ye Fan didn't refute, the boss relaxed even more: "This one costs 100,000."
"What about this one?" Ye Fan went up to another level.
"This one..." The shop owner hesitated, looked at the guard beside Ye Fan, and then gritted his teeth: "This one is top quality, it costs five million."
"Five million? OK, OK."
Hearing this number, Ye Fan smiled, and without saying anything else, he stretched out his hand to take the scepter behind him.
"If I don't give each of you two five hundred sticks today, it will be in vain."
