Starting from shooting the eagles and crossing the heavens

Chapter 3 Selling Walnuts for Travel Expenses

The whole day today, he has been busy seeking the Nine Suns Divine Art. If he hadn't had a fast meal at Shaolin Temple at noon, he would be...
Before it was too late at night, Ren Yi went out to find something to eat.

There was a pheasant flying by. The delicious beggar chicken was simple in process, delicious and sweet. Unfortunately, his Nine Yang Magical Skills didn't show its power at first practice. He couldn't catch the pheasant so fast, and he didn't have fire!

This place is also really evil, there are many dense forests everywhere, why is there not a single fruit tree?
We don't pick anything, whether it's apples, pears, peaches, or grapes and dates, whatever you choose will do.

After wandering around for half an hour, the moon had climbed up the treetops, and Ren Yi finally found a few hickory trees.

It was the end of summer at this time, and the walnut trees were full of hickory nuts, each of which was green and the size of a baby's fist, which was very gratifying.

However, Ren Yi did not touch the walnuts on the tree, but picked up the fallen walnuts under the tree.

Unlike other fruits, walnuts fall to the ground and go bad over time.

The walnut that fell on the ground will also go bad, but only the green skin of the walnut is broken, and the core inside is nothing at all.

And because the green skin is broken, it can be easily peeled off, which is much less troublesome than picking walnuts with green skin on the tree.

After a while, Ren Yi picked up hundreds of them.

"How do you get so much?"

Looking at this pile of walnuts, Ren Yi was very worried.

Suddenly, he thought of the system, so he picked up a walnut, thinking of receiving it from the system warehouse.

In an instant, the walnut in his hand disappeared, and at the same time, there was an extra walnut in the system warehouse.

"Really!"

Ren Yi was very happy, and put all the walnuts into the system warehouse.

There is a small grid in the system warehouse, which is full of walnuts, and there is a number 108 floating on it!
After packing up the walnuts, Ren Yi walked back.

While walking, he took out a walnut from the system and peeled off the dead green skin on the surface.

Put it in your hand and squeeze it hard!
crackle!

The walnuts are broken in half, exposing the nuts inside.

Ren Yi couldn't wait to pick out the nuts and stuff them into his mouth.

The taste is not very good, a bit bitter.

However, Ren Yi was very hungry. Although the walnuts were bitter, they were enough to ward off hunger.

Besides, walnuts are good things, rich in vitamins.

Commonly known abroad as "Hercules food", "nutritious nuts", "puzzle fruit".

In China, "longevity fruit", "longevity fruit", "treasure for nourishing people".

Take a look, you can tell it's a good thing just by the name!

Ren Yi was thinking about it while eating walnuts.

When he returned to the hut, he had already eaten a dozen walnuts. Although he was still very hungry, he didn't want to eat any more.

In order to alleviate the hunger in his stomach, Ren Yi decided to practice.

The feeling of the previous practice is really comfortable, forgetting both things and myself, mysterious and mysterious.

There was nothing to say all night, when the morning sun shone on Ren Yi through the open door, he opened his eyes.

After a night of practice, the internal energy in Ren Yi's dantian became stronger, at least a circle larger than before.

His stats panel has also changed.

After moving his body, Ren Yi wove a straw basket out of the scattered thatch in the house.

In fact, the best materials for weaving baskets are wattle and bamboo. The conditions here do not allow it, so we can only use thatch to weave it.

Afterwards, he went to the walnut trees from last night, and took all the walnuts from the trees.

He collected all these green-skinned walnuts into the system, and the number of walnuts increased to 4565.

After doing this, Ren Yi decided the direction and headed south.

As the saying goes, a man with money is hard to be a man without money!
Guan Yu also sold mung beans, and Qin Qiong also sold pommel horses.

In order not to starve to death on the road, Ren Yi was planning ahead.

When the sun was high, Ren Yi came to a small town.

At this moment, the town is full of people coming and going, just like going to a market, so lively!

It can be seen from this that the people here are doing well.

The town is not big, there is only one street, Ren Yi walked slowly with the flow of people, looking left and right was very strange.

The Southern Song Dynasty was an important period of ethnic integration in the history of North China. This integration was not only the process of the Jurchen, Bohai, Khitan, Xi and other inland ethnic groups absorbing the northern Han culture, but also the process of the northern Han absorbing the culture of these frontier ethnic groups.

With the migration of immigrants, the culture of the Northeast ethnic groups, including clothing, music, dance, language, and social customs, began to spread to the Central Plains.Northeast ethnic culture is the mother culture of the rulers of the Jin Dynasty, and the rulers of the early Jin Dynasty spared no effort to promote their own culture in North China in order to assimilate the Han people.

In the early days of taking control of the Central Plains, they even used force and coercion to force the Han people to wear Jurchens clothes and keep Jurchens hairstyles.The Jin Dynasty has repeatedly issued regulations prohibiting the people of the Central Plains from wearing Hanfu and retaining the original hair style. Those who disobey will be executed.

Under such a policy, the north quickly stabilized, and many Han people wore Jinren costumes.

In this small town, Ren Yi saw many Han people wearing golden costumes.

Of course, I also saw quacks wearing swords and swords, some in fresh clothes and angry horses, full of arrogance;

Whenever he saw such a person, Ren Yi hid far away.

Now that he has not accomplished martial arts, he is just a scumbag, so it is better to have less contact with the world.

He wandered around the town, seemingly careless, but in fact he paid attention to everything, and stopped from time to time to ask the price of the item, bargain with the stall owner, and talk about it.

Stop and go, Ren Yi actually walked for an hour on the short street.

This journey has been rewarding.

One of them is that walnuts are a rare commodity here, and they are in great demand!
Knowing this situation, the corners of Ren Yi's lips turned up, this is a business opportunity!
If you can stay here for a few days, let him have time to process all the walnuts, dry them into dried walnuts, and then let him operate them, you can definitely make a lot of money, and you can eat and drink all the way to Xiangyang. .

It's a pity that he has no capital and no time, so the great business opportunity can only be handed over to others.

With calculations in his mind, Ren Yi turned around and continued shopping.

The town is small, with only two dry goods stores.

There is a Huji dry goods store in the east and a Liuji dry goods store in the west.

To say that this business is booming, it must be Hu Ji Dry Goods Store, which is not only large in scale, but also has a superior location, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out.

This became Ren Yi's first choice for selling goods.

However, when he took a closer look, he gave up the idea.

The background of this store is a bit big, and it is easy for the store to deceive customers.

If he achieves great success, he will go in. After all, his strength is there. No matter what conspiracy or tricks there are, I will break them by myself.

After a while, Ren Yi walked into the Liu Ji dry goods store in Xitou.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a thin face and a long beard. He looks like a gentleman. He doesn't look like a businessman, but looks like an old private school.

Ren Yi knew what he wanted, and took a dozen or so walnuts with green skins to explain his intention.

Shopkeeper Liu is quite kind. Dried walnuts cost ten cents a catty, but he bid two cents a catty for green walnuts.

However, Ren Yi was not satisfied: "Shopkeeper, if you raise your hand again, five cents a catty."

The middle-aged shopkeeper was not annoyed, stroked his long beard and said, "Brother, your walnuts are green-skinned walnuts. After removing the green skins, they are dried in the sun. Two catties are less than one catty, which means I think you are pitiful. It is a fair price for Wen to buy your green walnuts for a catty."

"Shopkeeper, you can't say that. My walnuts are high-quality hickory nuts. They have much higher nutritional value than the ordinary walnuts I grow at home. How can they be the same!"

Ren Yi bargained with Shopkeeper Liu again, and then he revealed his real intention, "Shopkeeper Liu, I think you are also a benevolent person. I have a good idea here, which can buy all the walnuts in your store. Good price, when the time comes, let alone ten cents a catty, there will be people scrambling to buy your walnuts at twenty cents a catty, or even forty cents a catty."

Shopkeeper Liu didn't believe Ren Yi's words, but looking at Ren Yi's calm appearance, it didn't seem like he was talking nonsense.

He pondered for a while, and said aloud: "Brother, look at this, it's good. Tell me your method. If you can impress me, I'll take your walnuts for ten cents a catty!"

"Haha, shopkeeper Liu is really happy!"

Ren Yi moved the Mazha to shopkeeper Liu, and said in a low voice: "I did a market survey on the situation in the town. Most people here eat walnuts just to taste something new. If you want to eat, you can buy some. It doesn't matter if you don't have any. , but if walnuts become a daily necessities like firewood, rice, oil and salt, do you think the price of walnuts will rise slowly?"

"Necessities? If that's the case, of course the price of walnuts will increase, but it's not easy, is it impossible?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper constructed such a scene in his mind, it is indeed very tempting, but the key is to be able to do it.

"Hehe, it's actually not difficult to do this. You can ask a doctor. A doctor is a doctor. He treats people. Any doctor with a certain level of knowledge knows the advantages of walnuts! You just need to do a good job of publicity and let everyone know about eating walnuts." The good thing about it is that the people who buy it will not break the threshold of your house. As for the publicity? That's easy to handle. Our walnuts are not called walnuts, but longevity fruits, long live seeds, and treasures for raising people. Propaganda, and then put forward the slogan: Three or four walnuts a day, all diseases will be free from all diseases and a hundred years will be guaranteed! Tell me, will the people who hear it come rushing to you!"

"Longevity fruit, three or four walnuts per day, can prevent all diseases and protect you for a hundred years."

Shopkeeper Liu muttered, his eyes lit up, he was caught in a huge surprise, and his whole body was trembling with excitement.

"Hehe, that's enough, shopkeeper, I'll give you a solution. As for how it works, it's up to you! I have a total of 500 catties of walnuts here, ten Wen per catty, a total of 5000 Wen, pay the bill!"

Taking advantage of the other party's excitement, Ren Yi took out 500 catties of green-skinned walnuts from the system and piled them up at the entrance of the shop.

"500 pounds?"

Shopkeeper Liu suddenly woke up from his sweet dream, looking at the huge pile of walnuts at the door, his complexion gradually became gloomy.

500 catties of walnuts!This is taking yourself for granted!

Originally, in his mind, Ren Yi was a young man, and it would be good to have dozens of catties of walnuts, but he didn't expect that he would take out 500 catties all at once!
500 catties of walnuts cost 10 Wen a catty, which is 5000 Wen!
Shopkeeper Liu's liver hurts just thinking about it!
His eyes gradually darkened, and a certain decision was made in his heart.

"Hehe, Shopkeeper Liu, you have to think about it before you speak."

Ren Yi chuckled, and slapped the horse on the side with a slap.

Bang!
The Maza made of elm was suddenly broken into pieces and scattered in all directions!
"Little brother, wait a moment, I will withdraw the money right away!"

The cleverness of the middle-aged shopkeeper quickly dispelled the bad thoughts in his heart, and obediently went to withdraw the money.

"Shopkeeper, don't feel distressed, in fact, you are not at a disadvantage! The attention I gave you can be used not only to sell walnuts, but also to sell other products. As long as you do a good job in marketing, even a Chinese cabbage , can also be sold at the price of gold! Make good use of the idea I gave you, I hope you can make a lot of money when we meet next time, and don’t forget about me, kid! Hahaha!"

Ren Yi said while recovering his skills.

After all, the Nine Suns Divine Kungfu is just a beginner's practice, and his internal strength is already strong. He used it forcibly in order to deter the opponent. At this time, he has used too much force and his body is weak.

He is now struggling with the discomfort in his body.

Fortunately, this feeling of powerlessness quickly passed under his luck, and when the shopkeeper came back from withdrawing the money, Ren Yi had returned to normal.

In this era, most of the coins in circulation on the market are copper coins, and there are actually very few gold and silver coins.

As for film and television works, the scene where you throw a piece of silver at a roadside stall for a meal is also limited to film and television works.

The shopkeeper gave all copper coins, a total of five pennies, one thousand pennies each, which is not light to hold in one's arms.

Ren Yi received the money and was about to leave.

"Little brother, let me be consistent again. Could you please explain in detail how this marketing method works."

The shopkeeper is also a courageous one, and he has added a lot of money to spread in front of Ren Yi, wanting to learn business skills.

"Okay, okay!" Ren Yi happily transferred the money to himself, and then told the whole story of common marketing cases in modern society.

There are so many advertisements, what guides consumers, discounts, bundled promotions, VIP memberships, chain store franchises, etc. have all been mentioned.

The straight-talking middle-aged shopkeeper's eyes were shining, and he was full of vigor.

The two talked for a full hour before the other party let Yi leave.
