178, the master sells flowers(1/2)

The next morning, Chu Wanning got up with dark circles. He didn't sleep well last night. Therefore, he looked particularly gloomy. His face, which was already very cold, had thin ice, and there was no heat.

He pushed the door and saw Mo Ran washing clothes outside.

...Why do you need to wash clothes early in the morning?

Didn’t you wash it last night?

Seeing him coming out of the room, Mo Ran seemed a little embarrassed. His cheeks were splashed with foam from soap horns. He turned around and greeted Chu Wanning: "Master."

"Um."

"Sun Sanniang is quite trustworthy. After collecting the money, she brought the food from house to house in the morning. I put it on the small stone table in the yard. Master, go and eat it."

"What about you?"

"I've eaten it." Mo Ran's arms were soaked under the rippling water waves, and the lines were vigorous and refreshing. "When the master used it early, we will go and sell butterflies and flowers together."

The food given by Sun Sanniang is very monotonous, but the amount is not small. There are actually three steamed buns.

He sat in the yard and chewed the pasta slowly. The rising sun rose. The sun shone through the withered vines climbing on the grape trellis above his head, cutting it into mottled and intertwined light and shadows on the table.

He turned around and looked at Mo Ran's tall back. The vague enthusiasm in his heart surged.

He took another big bite of steamed bun.

As soon as the golden begonia and red spirit butterfly appeared, they remained unchanged all year round in Feihua Island. The laziness and laziness caused a stir. The fishermen on the island rushed over to see it. Even those who did not plan to visit the market today were attracted by it-

"There are flowers!"

"What's so strange about flowers? Haven't you seen flowers before?"

"Golden crabapple! Made of spiritual power! It's been in full bloom all year round! It can also transmit voice!"

"Wow!! Where is it?"

Such a huge wave came.

"There are butterflies!"

"What's so good about butterflies? I'll catch them in spring."

"It's made of red! It can drive away the evil spirits and evil spirits! It's very beautiful and obedient. It won't run around, and it's just flying near you!"

"Ah! Really? Where is it?"

Another wave came over the vastness.

Sun Sanniang was lying high in the mansion. When she got the news in her spare time, she couldn't help but take a few escorts to the street market. Before she could even reach the door, she saw golden and red lights pouring out from the crowd in the distance, and people were constantly marveling.

Her heart was as twitching as an ant, and she repelled the onlookers and walked over to see.

I saw that the two immortal kings who came yesterday had a bright smile, and were catching bees and butterflies there to make tricks and attract business. The other was expressionless and stood under the tree with a cold face, lying silent.

"Sell butterflies, sell butterflies--" The handsome man turned around and smiled at another dull man and said, "Master, why don't you shout?"

Shout?

Chu Wanning snorted coldly in his heart.

He didn't know how to write the word "kick". Could it be that he would be ashamed to be like Mo Weiyu, a vulgar man, shouting in front of everyone: "Selling flowers, selling crabapple flowers"?

Don't even think about it.

"How to sell butterflies?" I felt that such immortal things must be very expensive. Everyone was wandering for a long time, and finally a brave person came up to ask for the price.

Mo Ran said: "One ten gold."

Chu Wanning coughed behind him.

Mo Ran said: "...three copper plates per."

"So cheap?" Everyone around was shocked and came forward to buy it. Mo Ran handed a butterfly on the left and a flower on the right. He was busy and suddenly saw a ragged little girl in the distance holding her fingers, looking at the lively scene here eagerly.

Mo Ran smiled and said nothing. Suddenly, his five fingers closed and an extremely beautiful phoenix-tail butterfly condensed. With a gentle blow, the butterfly floated to her through the sea of ​​people and landed on her braid.

The girl was stunned, full of shock, and hesitated to take a few steps, then stopped again and shook her head.

She has no money...

Not to mention three copper plates, none of them are there.

Mo Ran waved his hand at her, said to her "I'll give it to you" with her mouth, then blinked, smiled and turned his head away, and continued to be busy.

Sun Sanniang saw those beautiful golden spirits being bought, and a beautiful girl directly wore the crabapple flowers in her black bun. Her hair was shining brightly, and she was actually radiant and indescribable nobleness. She couldn't help it.

"I want all these butterflies and flowers."

Mo Ran raised his eyes and smiled unchanged: "I just said who is so big, it turns out it's Sanniang."

"How many flowers are left? Count it and I'll take them all back to the mansion."

"This is not possible." Mo Ran smiled, "There must be one who comes first and then comes first. Others come first than you. They have not finished buying it yet, so I can't give you the things first."

Sun Sanniang looked at the crowded villagers and was immediately anxious, afraid of selling it out, and said, "Then I'll increase the price."

"I can't make the decision." Mo Ran said, "I just helped me with the price. You have to ask my master."

Sun Sanniang went to the tree and found Chu Wanning, the flower-selling Taoist, who looked cold.

"Immortal Lord, sell all your flowers and butterflies to me. We are all businessmen, and the prices are easy to negotiate."

Chu Wanning said coldly: "One of ten golds."

Mo Ran next to him couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this. He turned his head but met Chu Wanning's black phoenix eyes with long nights. A moment of laughter appeared lush and softness. He couldn't help but grin, and the dimples looked very beautiful.

Sun Sanniang was so rich that she was just a small amount of money for her. Soon she directed her servants to take away all the night crabapple and phoenix tail butterflies.

When she returned to the mansion, she immediately combed a high bun happily, inserted more than fifty golden flowers on it, and let the butterflies dance around her. The servants saw that she was full of golden light. From a distance, they looked like a melting and burning candle, and they couldn't help but feel funny, but because of the pain, her master had to hold it in, and her ribs were almost broken and finally didn't laugh out loud.

Sun Sanniang was not happy for too long. Someone came to report that the two immortals had started selling other things in the market. She was shocked when she heard this, and surrounded by crazy bees and butterflies, and ran towards the market again.

"Sell butterflies-sell butterflies-"

Sun Sanniang squeezed over, furious with her waist on her back: "I bought them all just now? Why are there again?"

Mo Ran blinked: "Newly made."

"Since you can make a new one, why do you want to sell me one of them ten golds just now?!"

Mo Ran smiled: "You think, when you get up in the morning, you go to a Shengjian bun shop where many people line up to buy Shengjian. Others are queuing up. If you want to jump in the line, the shopkeeper will tell you that you should eat first, but you have to pay more. Is this wrong?"

Sun Sanniang said angrily: "You, you, you are a profiteer, you..."

Just as he was thinking about how to refute this person's fallacy, he suddenly saw the immortal king next to him who had been silent and walked over. Chu Wanning's fingertips flashed, and a crabapple flower with twins condensed.

Although Sun Sanniang was angry, she was also attracted by attention and asked, "What is this? Why is it different from before?"

"This kind of crabapple has a rejuvenation technique. It is placed on the bedside before going to bed, so it can keep its appearance radiant the next day, and its effect is about fifteen days." Chu Wanning casually handed the flower to Mo Ran and said to Mo Ran, "Go and sell it, one hundred gold per flower."

"Slow down," Sun Sanniang was afraid that the two of them would say something about the extra money they had to go to the lineup. Although she was so angry, she still said, "Don't take it away, I want this one. How many more can you make? I want it all!"

Chu Wanning said: "I don't want to use the same spell too many times, I only make three."

"Then it's three hundred gold, I'll give it to you."

"Mo Ran collects the money." Chu Wanning said, lowered his head and condensed the other two flowers, handed them to Sun Sanniang, and then began to condense the fourth one.

Sun Sanniang was unhappy: "Didn't you say you only make three flowers?"

"This one is added with the wonderful sound technique." Chu Wanning said lightly, "It can make a woman's voice beautiful when paired with it."

"..." Although Sun Sanniang was greedy for money, she was even more greedy for years. She looked at the immortal king at the top of life and death and condensed one wonderful crabapple after another, and hated her teeth, but she could only say: "Okay, okay, I buy, I buy."

When they went back to the evening, the master and apprentice sat at the table to calculate the money. They found that they were enough to provide the group with food and drink until the fire on the other side was extinguished. Chu Wanning pushed half of the silver to Mo Ran, half of the silver was packed, and said, "Before leaving, return the rest to Sun Sanniang."

Mo Ran was stunned: "Why?"

"Feihua Island is far away from Linyi and has poor supplies, so it is extremely inconvenient to eat and wear. But you see, most of the fishermen on the island can live in food and clothing, isn't it a bit strange?"

"...Well." He said this, Mo Ran thought about it carefully and felt that it was.

Chu Wanning said, "You'll know after a little inquiry. Today, when you were cleaning up the stall, I went to the village chief and asked him some things. In fact, Sun Sanniang was originally from the Rufeng Sect of Linyi. Because she was not very talented, her master had never taken care of her. She had been to the master for five years and still knew how to use her sword skills."

Mo Ran was slightly surprised: "Is she a member of the Confucian Sect? Have you ever seen that master-"

"No." Chu Wanning said, "The village chief said that when she was seventeen years old, she followed the monks of the Rufeng Sect to Feihua Island to recruit Luo Xin'an. Those famous monks relied on the long journey and the island was full of mortals. If they were bullied, they would not be able to travel thousands of miles to the Rufeng Sect to form a military conspiracy. So during that time, they did evil to the islanders, ate free food, rob money, and even..."

"even?"

"Even lewd boys and girls."

“…”

Chu Wanning said: "Sun Sanniang was so angry that she started arguing with her senior brothers and sisters. She spoke lightly but had a fierce temperament. She offended her fellow disciples and was finally plotted against her. After being stabbed by one of the senior brothers, she was pushed off the sea cliff."

Mo Ran murmured, "It's so? No wonder what the village chief advised her before. I was not from the Rufeng Sect, but I didn't expect...ah..."

"Well. She has a great life. The sword did not hit the vital point. After she landed in the sea, she was seen by the fishermen who were fishing. The fishermen had two daughters under their knees, but they were all gone long ago. After saving her, they accepted her as their adopted daughter, taught her fishing and hunting, and taught her to do business. Later, when her adoptive father passed away, she inherited her mantra and gradually became the largest household in Feihua Island."

Chu Wanning paused and said.

"You also heard that she said that the harvest on Feihua Island is not good this year, and she is opening warehouses for relief in every household. Although Sun Sanniang's business is good, she only strips money from monks. She never takes the islanders a slightest margin, and even subsidizes poverty."

Mo Ran didn't say anything, but remembered the little girl who was longing for the crabapple flowers she saw in the market during the day.
