Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 365 Ghost Market

The Four Gods Stronghold, also known as the Nanchu Stronghold, is quite famous in this generation.

Xiao Sun looked nervous and lowered his voice unconsciously. After looking around, he approached the crowd and said:

“You don’t know that this Four Gods Village is named after the four great mythical beasts: Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise. The four village chiefs are all fierce characters!

But who could have thought that this time they would actually fight with people from the Anxi Dynasty!

It is said that both sides were furious last night and the fight was brutal.

Yesterday, there was a fierce battle outside the city. The dust was flying and the shouts of killing could be heard from far away."

“Now each side is biting the other to death and swallowing up their goods, and the merchants of the Parthian Empire are furious.

They said that those were priceless treasures that they had obtained after traveling thousands of miles and spending a lot of effort.

The Sishen Mountain Stronghold was not to be outdone, insisting that the Parthians were deliberately picking a fight and trying to blackmail them. Each side insisted on their own opinion, neither giving in.

"Now, both sides are frantically searching for the goods, turning the surrounding area upside down, but they can't find any trace.

Those goods seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, and no one knew where they had gone.”

"People from the Parthian Empire are staying in our inn now. They are all very arrogant and conceited. This is really bad luck for the innkeeper.

They made a lot of noise in the store every day, smashing tables and throwing dishes, and cursing if the food was not to their taste, making the inn a mess.

The boss was so worried every day that his hair was almost turning white, but he didn't dare to fire the employees. He could only sigh and lament how unlucky he was to have such a thing happen to him.

Mrs. Bai became interested: "How about we go and see the excitement?"

"Okay, I'll take you to see the excitement! The two parties are still negotiating! This matter is too strange." Xiao Sun said.

Xiao Sun led everyone to the teahouse. As soon as they reached the second floor, a loud noise came from the inn opposite.

The merchants of the Parthian Dynasty were filled with rage and shouted at the top of their lungs:

"You are really going too far! Do you really think we are easy to bully?

We came all this way here with the sincerity of doing business, yet you have the audacity to swallow up our goods!"

The Si Shen Mountain Stronghold was not willing to be outdone. A burly man stepped forward and said:

"Humph, we noticed something was wrong with you yesterday! If we really wanted to get this money, why didn't we just wipe you out completely?

Now that the goods are gone, you are accusing us!"

Finally, after a long negotiation, the two sides decided to put aside their past grudges and cooperate again, and agreed to meet again in another place in a few days.

In the private room of the teahouse, Mrs. Bai said as she fed Lin Wanwan, "The dim sum in this inn is really good."

The table was filled with various snacks, including small and exquisite plum blossom cakes.

The red bean paste pastry has a crispy outer layer and soft inner filling. Just take a bite and the sweetness of the red beans spreads in your mouth instantly.

There is also crystal clear osmanthus cake, dotted with golden osmanthus flowers.

Lin Wanwan’s favorites are milk eight-treasure soup and Jin Yu Man Tang pastry. There are really many styles of these ancient pastries.

She ate with a look of satisfaction on her face, and at the end she couldn't help but burp loudly, which made everyone laugh.

After a while, Xiao Sun hurried in from outside and said:

“I’ve asked everything clearly. They said they plan to cooperate again in a few days. I don’t know what the Four Gods Village has.

Anyway, those merchants in Anxi are all cunning hunters, and they don’t care about ordinary things.”

Madam Bai clapped her hands and said, "Alright, we're just joining in the fun. Is there anywhere else in Longhu Town that's more lively?"

"Let me take you to the ghost market!" Xiao Sun said softly.

Madam Bai asked, "Ghost Market?"

Xiao Sun spoke vividly:

"That ghost market specializes in selling rare items from various countries, and we also have quite a few local treasures.

All kinds of people gathered there, it was very lively!"

"This ghost market is huge now. It's not in Longhu Town, but in the town next door. There are thousands of merchants doing business there!

People from all corners of the world flock there, and you can see things from all over the country and even from overseas."

Xiao Sun continued:

"Exquisite spices from the Western Regions, gorgeous brocades from Persia, and knives from Japan.

There are also many rare items that are hard to name, but there is nothing you can’t find.”

"Every day is as lively as a festival. Before dawn, stalls are already set up along the long street, with flickering lights and people everywhere.

The sounds of bargaining and hawking echoed endlessly, and many people loved to go there, hoping to find a bargain and a priceless treasure.

Xiao Sun's face was filled with enthusiasm as he looked at everyone eagerly: "If you're interested, I'll take you there to broaden your horizons. I guarantee you'll feast your eyes!"

Hearing that they were going to the black market, Milk Candy and Milk Tea beside Lin Wanwan instantly became excited. His little body kept jumping around, and his two round eyes stared at Lin Wanwan, making a "squeaking" sound from his mouth.

The two weasels also came over, with their ears erect and their whiskers twitching.

The monkeys couldn't hold back and jumped up and down among the branches, squeaking.

Milk tea clucked, "Let's go to the black market, Taobao... Taobao..."

Xiao Sun laughed heartily and said, "These animals you raise are so adorable. This starling is amazing. It can actually talk so much."

Madam Bai smiled and said, "Just raising it for fun, then let's go now!"

Xiao Sun had already prepared the carriage, and the group got on and drove towards the next town.

Along the way, the wheels rolled, raising clouds of dust.

The scenery outside the window passed by quickly like a scroll painting. The mountains in the distance were rolling and the crops in the fields were swaying gently in the breeze.

As soon as you enter the city, a tall archway comes into view, with two eye-catching characters engraved on it - "Ghost Market".

As soon as Lin Wanwan and others approached, noisy voices came towards them.

A slightly plump middle-aged man came up quickly. Seeing Xiao Sun, he immediately greeted him warmly: "Hey, Manager Sun, how come you have time to come to our place?"

Xiao Sun responded with a smile: "I came to visit you guys. I haven't been around for a long time and I missed it."

Xiao Sun turned to Master Bai and the others and said, "They're already discussing the acquisition. Longhu Town wants to take over all the nearby towns."

Master Bai was filled with curiosity and couldn't help asking, "Then the government won't care about you?"

After hearing this, Xiao Sun burst into laughter:

“What’s there for the government to do? Just give these towns to us and we’ll help them manage them.

Moreover, they were given a certain amount of management fees, and they were so happy!

If you're interested in houses or shops around here, just let me know. The prices will definitely go up by then."
