Cheng Chumo took out a piece of paper and wrote: "One pack of spicy sticks for one low-grade spirit stone," and directly pasted it on the city wall. He then took out a long table and many packs of spicy sticks from his spatial ring.
The city guards also tore open the packaging, and the fragrance aroused everyone's curiosity. Usually, food is traded with gold coins, so what kind of thing is traded with spirit stones?
Huang Rong picked up a bag of spicy sticks and opened it, saying, "Free tasting, one stick per person."
This remark caught everyone's attention. They all came over one after another, and more and more people gathered. Cheng Chumo saw the chaos and hurriedly asked everyone to queue up. Huang Rong opened ten bags of spicy sticks before fulfilling the promise of free tasting.
In this large package of spicy sticks, there are thirty sticks in one pack, with one stick distributed to each person, which means that three hundred people have tasted it. Everyone who has eaten it has praised it endlessly, and many people have taken out magic stones to start buying.
In a short period of time, Cheng Chumo has already sold more than 500 packs of incense, with each person buying at least two packs or even more than ten packs at once.
Fortunately, Cheng Chumo was prepared mentally after listening to Mengmeng's words, but Huang Rong never expected that this kind of spicy snack would be so popular in this unfamiliar world.
The soldiers guarding the city were also shocked. They couldn't believe what Cheng Chumo had just said, but in the blink of an eye, it had become a reality. It was just too incredible.
"Brother, this is the entrance fee for entering the city. Take it. And here are a few packs of spicy sticks for you. I want to ask about the ratio between gold coins and spirit stones, as well as how the shops in this royal city sell," Cheng Chumo said.
"Thank you, Hero. One hundred gold coins can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone, and one thousand low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one medium-grade spirit stone. Ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone, and one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one top-grade spirit stone."
As for the shops in the royal city, ordinary remote locations cost 500 gold coins, while more affluent areas cost several tens to hundreds of lower-grade spirit stones. As for the higher-grade ones, it's hard to say.
"For example, there are some shops in the three-story buildings that are constructed from valuable trees. Some are very close to the palace and have a very large area. These shops are worth a fortune, requiring at least one precious spiritual stone, and sometimes even hundreds." The city guard explained.
"Thank you, brother, let's go in." Cheng Chumo said.
The two entered the royal city and saw people coming and going. The crowd was no less than that of Chang'an City. It makes sense to think about it. After more than ten years of development, the population of the Tang Dynasty has grown from over 20 million to over 90 million.
The population of Kao La country has reached 1.5 billion, which is simply on a different scale. We walked for a long time, all the way here, and indeed, as Mengmeng said, it is even more backward than the martial arts era of the Great Tang Dynasty.
"Husband, where exactly is this place? It feels familiar, yet I can't recall where I've seen it before. The spiritual energy is so abundant, yet the productive forces are so backward that not even industries can be seen." Huang Rong asked.
"Rong'er, do you remember the 'Journey to the West' book I gave you?" Cheng Chumo said.
"Of course, I've read it three times." Huang Rong replied.
"This is one of the Divine Continents mentioned in the book, the Kingdom of Aolai." Cheng Chumo said.
"No wonder it looks familiar, this is exactly as described in the book, it's truly amazing," said Huang Rong excitedly.
"Let's first rent or buy a shop, and then we can earn spirit stones," said Cheng Chumo.
"Alright, everything is up to my husband," Huang Rong said.
The two of them walked a long way and came to a relatively remote place. They saw a sign at the door that said, "This store is selling at low prices." It was a cloth shop that sold poor-quality fabric. There were only a few customers looking at it, but none seemed interested in buying.
Cheng Chumo called the boss and explained the purpose. After bargaining, he bought it for one hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones. In fact, the shop was not worth this price at all. The main reason was that there were several houses and yards in the inner courtyard, covering at least five to six acres.
Several buddies and maids were all left behind by Cheng Chumo, and their wages were doubled compared to before, which made these people cheer with excitement.
Huang Rong followed Cheng Chumo for so long and also understood his business model. She entered the study and began writing flyers. The content was: Grand opening, all items in the store will be discounted by 20% for three days.
As Cheng Chumu quietly stood by, he had all the fabrics in the shop removed from the shelves and gave them all to his subordinates, which made them extremely grateful. He then placed a variety of snacks such as spicy strips, cola, Sprite, Joy Tigers, Red Bull, instant noodles, and potato chips on the shelves again.
After finishing the promotional pamphlet, Huang Rong handed it directly to over ten servants and asked them to distribute it on the street. The opening time was set for the next day, and the spicy strips had already given her countless confidence.
She believes that these things can definitely make them a lot of money. Cheng Chumo has also marked the prices on them. The cheapest one is spicy strips and instant noodles, which cost one low-grade spirit stone each. Potato chips cost two, while cola and sprite cost three. Lehu and Red Bull cost four each.
While Cheng Chumu was busy and delighted, Li Shimin was watching a group of monks performing the water and land Dharma assembly at Jingtu Temple in Chang'an. In fact, he had a general impression of Buddhism, but he still trusted Taoism more. This was because when he was the Qin prince, he was saved by the Eighteen-stick Monks.
Li Shimin belongs to those who know how to repay kindness, so he turned a blind eye to the various enclosures and accumulation of wealth by the monks, without excessive anger. However, his impression in his heart is already very negative.
Cheng Chumo told him that Guanyin Bodhisattva would come to Jingtu Temple to find a monk named Xuanzhuang and ask for the Mahayana Sutras in the Thunderclap Monastery in the Western Heaven.
Upon hearing this news, he was greatly shocked, and he could not believe that such a powerful Bodhisattva would personally descend to the mortal world to find an ordinary person to obtain the Buddhist scriptures.
Just as he was lost in thought, an old monk and a young monk walked in from outside, with the old monk holding a nine-ring tin staff and the young monk carrying a robe in his hands.
This old monk interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth, interrupting Monk Xuanzhuang who was presiding over the water and land Dharma meeting on the stage. Li Shimin knew that the old monk in front of him was actually Guanyin Bodhisattva.
After some manipulation from the old monk, Monk Xuanzhuang also agreed to go to the Western Heaven to obtain the Buddhist scriptures. After the little monk handed over the two precious treasures to Monk Xuanzhuang, Guanyin Bodhisattva revealed her true form and told him how to save Sun Wukong with a spell under the Five Finger Mountain.
After a group of people knelt on the ground and worshipped, Guanyin Bodhisattva left with a child. Li Shimin also admired Cheng Chumo more and more. He was able to predict even the arrival of such a Bodhisattva. He is truly amazing.
Li Shimin went through the process and analyzed silently, without becoming sworn brothers with Xuanzhuang. However, he still needed to do what was supposed to be done and dispatched a small team of soldiers to escort him. He also gave him a white horse that could travel a thousand miles.
Three days later, Xuan Zhuang set off as well. Li Shimin, accompanied by civil and military officials, saw him off for a full ten miles before returning. This puzzled the ministers nearby, as in the past, even when the army went to war, they were not given such a grand send-off for ten miles.
