There were no shops on both sides of the street, but there were a group of simply dressed men standing there, including young men, old men, and very few girls and women.
People walking in the middle of the street would pick and choose the people standing on both sides, and if they found someone they liked, they would pay money to buy them or hire them.
Chen Dao introduced to Mu Nanjin: "The people standing on both sides are looking for work. Those without tools are people who want to work as laborers or sell themselves as slaves. Those with tools are craftsmen. For example, those holding iron tools are blacksmiths, and those holding cloth are either dyers or tailors. Lord Mu, what kind of craftsmen do you want to find?"
Mu Nanjin told him who she was looking for: "I want to find a chef who specializes in stewing soup, a craftsman who makes rouge and brews wine."
"These people are so easy to find." Chen Dao asked curiously, "Are you planning to open a restaurant and a rouge shop?"
"Um."
Chen Dao asked again, "Master Mu, I'm sorry to ask you a question. What kind of pill did you give me after you broke my legs that day? The effect of the pill was amazing. After I was taken back to the Duwei Mansion, my legs were automatically reattached."
He asked this because he sent people to search all the pharmacies in the five cities but could not find any pills with such miraculous effects.
Mu Nanjin did not hide it from him: "I made these pills myself."
Chen Dao was pleasantly surprised and asked, "You can also make medicine? Do you have a medicine shop?"
"No."
"Then why don't you open a medicine shop? If you open a medicine shop, it will definitely be popular throughout the Daqian Kingdom. I will help you promote it vigorously and also help you..."
Chen Dao looked around and made sure no one noticed them before he approached and whispered in Mu Nanjin's ear, "I'll help you sell it to other countries and make you the richest man in Daqian."
These words made Mu Nanjin very excited.
After all, it cost too much to raise her son. She could not support Taotie with the financial and material resources of Daqian Kingdom alone, so she had to sell her things to other countries.
But forget about refining medicine.
Not to mention that refining medicine consumes too many medicinal materials, and there are no other alchemists in the mortal world. It is impossible for her to make so many pills by herself.
Even though adding a little bit of powdered herbs from the world of cultivation can help mortals recover, you can't just roll a pill out of flour or other things and then add powdered herbs from the world of cultivation to deceive people, right?
Even if you can mix the powdered medicine into pills in the mortal world and sell them, it is difficult to guarantee that the medicines will not conflict with each other or be too strong.
It is even more impossible to directly sell herbs or powders from the world of cultivation. Others will definitely buy them for research, and it will be even more difficult to explain if they find that they are not from the mortal world.
"Just talk, why are you leaning forward like that?"
Shu Xiyao stepped forward and inserted himself between them.
Chen Dao was so angry that he wanted to hit someone: "I'm talking to Lord Mu about serious matters, why are you making trouble?"
Shu Xiyao sneered: "Isn't your main job to take Xiao Nanjin to find someone?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you." Chen Dao rolled his eyes, leaned forward and said to Mu Nanjin: "Master Mu, you can think about what I said."
Mu Nanjin said: "I think what you said is feasible, but I don't sell medicine. I can also become the richest man by selling other things."
Chen Dao laughed heartily: "I just like the way you are confident."
Shu Xiyao chuckled: "It's useless no matter how much you like her, she will never be yours."
Chen Dao snorted coldly: "Master Mu may not be yours."
Shu Xiyao nodded in agreement: "She belongs to someone better."
Chen Dao: “…”
What does that mean? Is that saying he's not good enough?
Chen Dao compared himself with Shu Xiyao in his mind and found that he was indeed far ahead of him.
But he is good at fighting. After he returns, he will practice hard. One day he will surpass Shu Xiyao and defeat him.
Anyway...
Chen Dao looked at Shu Ranyao and asked, "How high is your martial arts level?"
Although he didn't know the other party's strength, he could feel that he was superior to him.
Shu Xiyao curled his lips: "Martial Saint."
Chen Dao didn't believe it: "You are lying."
Shu Xiyao pointed at Mu Nanjin with his fan: "You can ask her."
Mu Nanjin nodded: "He didn't lie to you."
These words were like a bolt from the blue, stunning Chen Dao.
"He, he is already a martial saint at such a young age?"
Even more powerful than his father.
Then when will he be able to surpass his opponent?
Shu Xiyao sighed, "Is this a blow? If you knew that there are many people around her who are more powerful than me, wouldn't you never recover from this?"
Chen Dao came back to his senses and snorted, "I won't be defeated so easily."
"I hope so."
Shu Xiyao patted his shoulder sympathetically.
Chen Dao slapped his hand away in annoyance and said to Mu Nanjin, "The further you go in, the better the craftsmen's skills will be, but the price of hiring them will also be much higher. If Master Mu doesn't know who to choose, I can find someone to introduce you."
"I'll take a look myself first."
Mu Nanjin only spent half a cup of tea strolling around when he noticed that people who were not craftsmen would beg passersby for their goods, and although craftsmen did not beg passersby, they also smiled ingratiatingly. When they were bought or hired, someone would take most of the hiring and trading fees from them, and the craftsmen could earn very little money.
Seeing that they had walked half the street without seeing Mu Nanjin take a liking to a craftsman, Chen Dao asked, "Master Mu, why don't you go up and ask the craftsman?"
You can't tell the other person's ability just by looking at them, right? Mu Nanjin said calmly, "They either look too wretched or look timid. None of them look normal."
It is said that appearance reflects the heart. People who look ugly must have done a lot of shameful things in private. People who are timid and submissive have no opinions of their own and will doubt themselves because of certain words from others.
Shu Xiyao laughed: "You are here to pick a craftsman, not a waiter. Craftsmanship is the most important."
Chen Dao also smiled and said, "It's normal that Lord Mu doesn't think highly of them. The skills of the craftsmen in the first half of the road are just average. They can only be said to have some knowledge of the craftsmanship, but they can't be said to be proficient in the craftsmanship. But the craftsmen in the second half of the road are different. They are better than the craftsmen in the first half of the road in all aspects."
Shu Xiyao said: "Since there are better craftsmen, why don't you introduce them to Xiao Nanjin directly instead of wasting time here?"
Chen Dao explained: "I just want Lady Mu to take a look at the situation here first, and then I will introduce her to a better craftsman."
"You should just introduce the best craftsman here to Xiao Nanjin."
"You want the best craftsman here?"
Chen Dao looked at Mu Nanjin, who nodded.
He looked embarrassed: "I can introduce them to Master Mu, but they may not leave with Master Mu."
Shu Xiyao asked: "Why?" (End of this chapter)
