Chapter 143: Slap in the Face or Slap in the Face?
Qianlan Nangong, as one of the four major avenues of the Tiangui Kingdom, is extremely famous. In the southeast of the Tiangui Kingdom, the influence is almost invincible.
Compared with the domineering reputation of Qianlan North Palace, Qianlan South Palace is also more pragmatic and approachable.
Of course, this also has to do with the location.
The royal capital of the Tiangui Kingdom is in the southeast of the Tiangui Kingdom. In this area, the power of the royal family is the core.
If Qianlan South Palace is as arrogant and domineering as Qianlan North Palace, it is obviously not good.
In a kingdom, the authority of the royal family still comes first. On the side of the royal family, you Qianlan Nangong is not low-key, how can the royal family tolerate you?
Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
Therefore, in contrast to the arrogance and domineering of Qianlan North Palace, Qianlan South Palace has a good reputation, and it is also the most willing dojo among the four major avenues.
The Qingyang Dojo in Qingyang Valley can't be more low-key, and the people in Qingyang Dojo almost don't enter the WTO, and they rarely come out to make friends with secular people.
Except for recruiting disciples, he hardly interacts with the outside world.
Duobao Dojo is the most extensive and engages in all fields, but it is more focused on business.
The Duobao Dojo is not so much a dojo as a business point set up by the Treasure Tree Sect in the secular kingdom.
Moreover, the fields involved in the Duobao Dojo are also very wide.
Pills, elixirs, spiritual weapons, exercises, cheats, talismans, spirit beasts......
In all kinds of popular fields and unpopular fields, there is almost no business that Duobao Dojo does not do.
Since the two auxiliary materials that are lacking can be bought at the big exhibition in a few days, Jiang Chen is not in a hurry for these few days.
These merchants don't sell it, they just want to raise the price. Although Jiang Chen can also buy it at a high price, he is in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, and he doesn't want to be too eye-catching.
Anyway, even if you buy these two auxiliary materials, you won't be able to start sake brewing for a while.
After all, this sake brewery must have a brewery and all kinds of utensils.
The equipment is easy to handle, but this wine shop will take some time. Fortunately, the wine style in Tiangui Kingdom is very prosperous, and there are still many wineries to rent.
Within a few days, Jiang Chen sent his subordinates to visit, and finally negotiated a relatively depressed winery and signed a short-term rental agreement.
After everything was ready, the big exhibition of Qianlan Nangong was also held as scheduled.
Early in the morning of this day, Jiang Chen took his entourage to the venue.
The four major dojos, except for the Duobao Dojo, which is in the royal capital, the core of the other three dojos are not in the royal capital. But as the power of the kingdom, they all have their own territory in the royal capital.
Qianlan Nangong is no exception.
Jiang Chen thought that he had come quite early, but when he arrived, he found that he was not the earliest. By the time they arrived, there were already a lot of people on the scene.
All kinds of stalls, all kinds of trading tables, the layout is very prosperous, very lively.
The purpose of Jiang Chen's trip is those two auxiliary materials.
Coming to the trading area, the rows of stalls made Jiang Chen dizzy.
However, Jiang Chen also knew that these two auxiliary materials were relatively rare, and there must be no ordinary stalls, and they must be those who have the power of the general trend.
So, he walked straight towards the VIP area.
The VIP area, that is the great trend of the Tiangui Kingdom, the big business.
If there is a booth in the VIP area, it is basically a very awesome existence.
Of course, there is no need to say that Qianlan Nangong himself, the other three major dojos have also received invitations from Qianlan Nangong, and many people have come.
As soon as Jiang Chen and the others approached this VIP area, somewhere in that row of trading areas, a pair of eyes immediately discovered Jiang Chen.
This person was a disciple of Qianlan Beigong, and he had participated in the battle that chased and killed Jiang Chen. It's just that this person is just a true qi realm, not very conspicuous.
When this person saw Jiang Chen, his head shrank slightly, lowered his head, walked to the side of a person in charge of the Qianlan North Palace, and muttered a few words in the man's ear.
The person in charge was about twenty years old, and he looked shrewd. After hearing the words of the same door, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced towards Jiang Chen's side intentionally or unintentionally.
just glanced at it in a hurry, and then withdrew his gaze, obviously afraid of startling the snake.
Then he asked a few more words to the fellow doorman, and the person in charge nodded slightly, and whispered a few words to the fellow doorman, obviously starting to brew some conspiracy.
Jiang Chen's attention obviously didn't notice this.
"Do you have a blueday and a pestle?"
"Nope!"
"Boss, how do you sell this blue daylily and wooden pestle?"
"Well, this is a sample, not for sale. β
"Brother, what is the price of this blue daylily and wood pestle?"
"I'm sorry, this thing has been booked and can't be sold!"
"Boss ......"
"Sorry, there's no bluelily and a pestle here. β
When Jiang Chen began to inquire about the two auxiliary materials, he found that things seemed a little weird. If you can't buy these two things two days ago, it can be said that the merchant is hoarding goods and wants to sell them at a high price today.
But today, the trade fair has begun, do you still want to continue to raise prices? It seems that there has been no such business since ancient times.
Obviously, things are there, and there are all kinds of excuses not to sell.
If everyone is like that, that's it. The others bought and sold all kinds of elixirs very smoothly, although the price was on the high side, but they did not encounter such an evil sect as Jiang Chen.
Whichever one you go to, either don't sell it, or find various reasons to shirk it.
This is really a strange thing, Jiang Chen doesn't think that he can bring such a big hatred when he just arrived in the royal capital, so that all the merchants will unite to block him.
The first thing Jiang Chen thought of was the Qianlan North Palace.
Look at the stalls in the Qianlan North Palace, it seems very busy and crowded, and the front of the stalls is full of people, which seems to be very lively.
At this time, Qiao Baishi walked up and said in a low voice: "Young master, my subordinates stuffed some silver just now and asked those merchants. It seems to say...... These merchants have reached a tacit agreement that what you want to buy must not be sold to you. β
"For what?"
"It should be that Qianlan Beigong deliberately can't get along with you. Qiao Baishi guessed.
"Qianlan North Palace?" Jiang Chen's eyes were cold, this Qianlan North Palace provoked him last time, this account has not been settled, this guy, does he still want to be wild in the royal capital?
New hatred and old hatred surged up together, and a murderous intent flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes.
"Well, who else can there be besides Qianlan Beigong? Some merchants can't help but give face to Qianlan Beigong. It is normal for the four major avenues to give each other face. After all, we have no power or power in the royal capital, and others will not offend Qianlan Beigong for this trivial matter. β
Jiang Chen listened to Qiao Baishi's analysis, and felt that it was quite reasonable. However, it is too naΓ―ve for Qianlan Beigong to play this hand.
"If they refuse to sell me what I buy, then if I buy it from someone else, won't they sell it?"
Qiao Baishi smiled bitterly: "I seem to have heard that the people of Qianlan Beigong have released their words, and they will charge them at a high price. Whoever has these two things today, they take them all, and they pay double the price. β
"Tsk, I'm really willing to spend my money. Jiang Chen sneered, "So, what I want, they won't buy anything?"
"Hey, come on, come on, buy bluedaylily and wood pestle at a high price, but as long as there are goods, how much do we have in the Blue North Palace, and how much will we collect!"
Suddenly, on the stall on the side of Qianlan North Palace, a guy put his hands to his mouth and shouted.
While shouting, he looked towards Jiang Chen as if demonstrating, squeezing his eyebrows, obviously deliberately demonstrating.
"Damn!" Princess Gotama couldn't help but want to touch the hilt of her sword.
"Don't be impulsive. Jiang Chen flicked his sleeves and stopped Princess Goyu's action of grasping the hilt of the sword.
"They are also too deceitful!" Princess Goyu was indeed very unhappy, her chest rose and fell, and she was obviously angry.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, slowly paced over, and stood in front of the stall in the Qianlan North Palace.
"You guys are planning to bully the market, right? If I'm not mistaken, this is a trade fair held by Qianlan South Palace, when will it be your turn to be arrogant here?" Jiang Chen asked lightly.
"Boy, you can eat randomly, don't talk nonsense. We are a legitimate acquisition, what kind of bullying and dominating the market, don't spew blood. The person in charge looked at Jiang Chen with a sneer.
"Tsk, don't you mean that the people of Qianlan Beigong dare to do it? You even dare to do things that kill people and sell goods, why do you dare to do such a thing, but you dare not admit it? Legitimate acquisition? Don't you blush when you say this?" Jiang Chen sneered disdainfully.
The person in charge's face sank: "What? Which rule do you see that we can't buy? You have the ability, you can also buy it." Fair play!"
"Fair play?"
"Not bad. The person in charge was triumphant, "It's not that I, Zhang, look down on you, you want to be able to buy daylilies and pestles from here today, and I, Zhang, will crawl out of here!"
The person in charge had a very poisonous eye, and he also saw that Jiang Chen should have no status in the royal capital, otherwise, there would be no way to buy these two things.
Such a person who has no way out is not at the same level as him at all. How could the merchants of today's trade fair not give face to Qianlan Beigong and sell these two things to Jiang Chen?
Therefore, the person in charge is also very confident when he says this. He did this, in fact, he also wanted to use this matter to hit Jiang Chen and curry favor with Senior Brother Liu, who had already entered the spiritual realm.
Although Senior Brother Liu did not come today, if this matter is done well, it will definitely reach Senior Brother Liu's ears.
Out of consideration for the strong people in the spirit realm, this person in charge will make this move and make such a big noise.
He also firmly believes that he has been in this industry for so many years and has a wide range of contacts. The people who appear here today are all old acquaintances, who will not give him face if they look up and don't look down?
Moreover, this kid looks like a foreigner. Even if they weren't old acquaintances, these merchants wouldn't offend him, a disciple of the Qianlan North Palace, because of a foreigner.
Jiang Chen looked at the person in charge, and then looked at the lively expressions of the merchants around him, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Crawl out of the stumbling hole, are you sure?"
The person in charge straightened his chest: "Yes, if you can buy it, I will climb around this trading area three times! If you can't buy it, so what?"
Since Jiang Chen is going to be cracked down, the person in charge will obviously not just be blocked in the market. The more ruthless he humiliates Jiang Chen, the more capital he will have to befriend Senior Brother Liu in the future.
Not only did he want to ban Jiang Chen, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to step on Jiang Chen a few times, so that he would be embarrassed and make him unable to get along in the king.
