The market was very lively. There were firewood, rice, oil, salt, chicken, duck, fish, and all kinds of food. He first went to a rice shop. The owner of the rice shop had his head down and was calculating the accounts. The worker next to him was directing the workers to move bags of new rice into the warehouse.
"Boss, how much is the rice?" Ye Fan lowered his bamboo hat and came in front of the rice shop owner to ask.
The rice shop owner who was calculating on the abacus raised his head and looked at Ye Fan. Then he indifferently said, "We don't sell the rice in bulk here. You should go elsewhere to buy it." He saw that the person who came was wearing tattered clothes and did not put Ye Fan in his eyes at all. But what he said was the truth. He specialized in wholesale and never retail.
"I asked, how much is the rice?" Ye Fan asked again.
The rice shop owner was annoyed by Ye Fan. He raised his head and stared at Ye Fan, "Didn't I say it before? We don't sell it in bulk! "
"I want more." Ye Fan said.
"More? Hmph. "The rice shop owner sneered. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Ye Fan," How much can you want? Thirty pounds? Fifty pounds? "
"I want three thousand pounds." Ye Fan said as he threw a handful of golden leaves at the rice shop owner's face, "I want new rice."
The rice shop owner's face was hurting from Ye Fan's slap. He was about to act up, but he found that there were golden leaves scattered on the counter.
"You … Look at my eyes. I really … I really didn't recognize Mount Tai." The rice shop owner hurriedly picked up the scattered golden leaves while smiling at Ye Fan, "Please don't mind this lowly one's offense. Please come in. I'll arrange the delivery for you." He said to the worker next to him, "Prepare three thousand pounds of new rice." The golden leaves that Ye Fan gave him were enough to buy five thousand pounds of rice. It would be strange if he was not happy.
The worker responded and hurriedly went to prepare the goods.
"Sir, please come in." The owner of the rice shop eagerly welcomed Ye Fan into the house. The rich were the masters, and this was the truth everywhere.
After brewing a pot of Tieguanyin for Ye Fan and serving him a few plates of desserts, the rice shop owner smiled and said, "Sir, where is your residence? So that I can deliver the goods to you. "
"There is a dense forest a hundred li south of here. You can bind this batch of rice in a large wooden box and send it directly there," Ye Fan said.
"Mi … Jungle?" The owner of the rice shop was puzzled. He had been doing business for so many years, but this was the first time he had heard of sending rice to a place like this.
"What? Can't I? "Ye Fan asked.
"Sure, sure, of course," the rice shop owner agreed. As long as there was money to be made, it didn't matter where they were sent. Not to mention the dense forest, they could even send them to the border of the Great Ming Dynasty.
"How long will it take?" Ye Fan asked.
"Four hours at most," the rice shop owner said.
"Okay," Ye Fan said, "I will wait there." After he finished speaking, he left the shop.
After Ye Fan left, the rice shop owner looked at Ye Fan's back and muttered to himself, "There really are all kinds of people in this era."
In the following time, Ye Fan went to the butcher shop, vegetable garden, oil shop, and condiment shop. He bought all kinds of supplies and told each shop owner to deliver the goods directly to the same place.
After he finished, Ye Fan directly went to a jewelry shop. The goods he ordered would take at least four hours to arrive. During this time, he wanted to buy some gifts for Fujiwara No Chiko. Ever since he met Fujiwara No Chiko, he hadn't given her any gifts. He wanted to use this opportunity to make it up to her.
He looked at the jewelry shop for a long time before he finally chose a Guanyin pendant. The pendant was carved from the highest quality jade. The statue was lifelike and had a benevolent appearance. The necklace of the pendant was also made of the same material. The entire jewelry looked like it was made of nature, round and smooth. This piece of jewelry was very suitable for Fujiwara No Chiko. Of course, this pendant was also very expensive to make. It cost a total of eight hundred gold taels. Ye Fan also had a deep meaning in choosing this gift. Guanyin would protect his safety. He hoped that Fujiwara No Chiko would be safe and that they would grow old together and never be separated.
After choosing the gift, Ye Fan found a secluded place and soared into the sky. He flew into the clouds and flew towards the dense forest not far from Feng Ming Mountain.
The distance of two hundred li could be said to be covered in the blink of an eye for Ye Fan. He landed on a large tree in front of the dense forest and quietly waited for the goods. This batch of goods was enough for the two of them to live for several years. He decided that in the future, he would not leave his beloved wife, so that Fujiwara No Chiko's calamity would never come.
Just as Ye Fan was thinking, he heard the sound of carriages from afar. And there was more than one carriage.
It seemed that the goods had arrived. Ye Fan jumped down from the tree and stood at the intersection waiting for them.
The first to arrive was the rice shop's new rice. Three thousand catties of new rice filled three carriages. According to Ye Fan's instructions, these three thousand catties of new rice were placed in three large wooden boxes.
"Whoosh …" The leading Coachman stopped the carriage. Then, a person jumped down from the carriage. It was the rice shop's clerk.
"Sir, your goods have arrived." The shop assistant ran in front of Ye Fan and said while nodding and bowing.
"Mm." Ye Fan nodded, "Unload the goods."
"Okay." The clerk turned around and waved at the people in the three carriages. "Unload the goods!"
The people in the carriages moved quickly. In a short while, the three large wooden boxes were unloaded from the carriages.
"Sir, the goods have been unloaded. Would you like to inspect them?" The clerk said to Ye Fan with a face full of smiles.
"No need, you can go." Ye Fan said.
"Then we'll go back first." The clerk smiled and bowed to Ye Fan. Then, he turned around and jumped back into the carriage, returning the way they came.
Not long after, the rest of the goods arrived one after another. In the blink of an eye, the wide road was filled with more than ten large wooden boxes. Rice, noodles, meat, eggs, vegetables, vegetable oil, all kinds of fruits, everything that one could think of.
After Ye Fan sent the carriages away, he slowly walked in front of the wooden boxes. Now that the goods were all ready, all that was left was to transport them to Lingyun Cave.
He mobilized spiritual power from his energy reserve and waved his hand at the large wooden boxes. The dozen or so wooden boxes began to slowly rise from the ground!
These goods added up to more than ten thousand kilograms. If it were in the past, he might not have been able to do this. However, for the current him, this weight was a piece of cake.
"Rise!" Ye Fan shouted. Overbearing spiritual power surged out, and the dozen or so large wooden boxes were instantly lifted into the air by his rich spiritual power. At the same time, Ye Fan used his movement technique and followed the large wooden boxes into the clouds!
Soon after, a comical scene appeared. Ye Fan was rushing forward as fast as lightning above the clouds. Behind him, more than ten huge wooden chests were lined up in a row as they obediently followed behind Ye Fan.
