Sitting on the sofa in the rest area of the supermarket, Lin You was holding a water cup with some trepidation. He looked around and found that Goldman Sachs had walked to the shelf without him knowing when, and was looking at the items on the shelf with a look of curiosity and greed.
Lin You stood up nervously and walked quickly to Gao Sheng's side. He lowered his voice and said carefully, "Cousin! Don't move around."
Goldman Sachs took a bottle of wine in a glass bottle from the container.
When placed in such a transparent bottle, even the most ordinary wine seems to become extra noble.
Gao Sheng looked at Youyou, his eyes brightened: "Why didn't you tell me that the immortal has these things here?"
Lin You was interrupted by him and said in a slightly confused manner: "These are all things for enjoying luxury, there is nothing to mention."
The cave contains so many things for people to indulge in for a lifetime. Doesn't this further prove that immortals regard money as dirt?
Anything here is enough to open your eyes.
If you take out a bottle of wine, there will be some alcoholic scholars fighting over it until they are bloodied, right?
Lin You: "Cousin, if you want to drink, you won't have less when you go back."
But Gao Sheng grabbed Lin You's wrist and shouted at him in a fanatical tone: "Is the wine important?! It's this kind of wine! It's fairy wine!"
"If we can bring this kind of wine back and present it to the emperor..."
"My uncle has been in the government for more than 20 years and has been staying in Anyang City. Don't you want to get closer?" Goldman Sachs said, "Do you also want to be trapped in Anyang for the rest of your life?"
Lin You blinked slightly. He had never thought about this. According to his idea, he should study hard, get a good ranking in the imperial examination, and then start as a minor official like the children of poor families. If he has talent and can be a good official, he will definitely be appreciated by the emperor.
“Lin You…” Gao Sheng looked at Lin You’s stupid look, and his excitement and enthusiasm just now also dissipated. He said helplessly, “The principles in the book should be believed when they should be believed, and if they should not be believed, don’t believe a single word.”
"Don't believe what those poor bastards say, that being a good official will lead to a high position."
"If it were really that easy, how could there be aristocratic families that would fall into decline?" Goldman Sachs said, "Don't we, the children of aristocratic families, see more and learn more than the children of poor families?"
"You probably don't know? When the country was founded, the emperor wanted to marry the legitimate daughter of one of the three surnames as his empress, but none of the three surnames agreed. They looked down on the emperor because he was a concubine." Gao Sheng laughed, "Then what? Have you heard of the three surnames now? The three surnames, which were once very important, now have a hard time sending their daughters to the palace as concubines."
"A noble family can only be called a noble family if there are people standing by the emperor's side for generations." Goldman Sachs, "Those stories about people staying in the mountains and forests, waiting for the emperor to come and invite them, are just stories. The emperor will never lack people who are willing to work for him."
"Only by being close to the emperor can one come into contact with and share the imperial power."
"Look at how many noble families have gone to great lengths to send their daughters to the palace? Don't they know that women who are not favored in the palace have a hard life?"
"They know, but we, the sons of noble families, compete for favor in the court, and women compete for favor in the harem. The court and the harem are interdependent, which can ensure the long-term prosperity of a family."
Lin You looked at Goldman Sachs in shock.
Goldman Sachs: "If you are really from a poor family, the highest achievement you can ever hope for is to have a seat at the annual palace banquet. No matter how talented you are, you can only be at the end, watching those good-for-nothings ahead of you."
"But with these things, things will be different." Goldman Sachs' voice suddenly increased, "Maybe... maybe uncle doesn't have to defend Anyang anymore and can go to the royal city!"
Gao Sheng put the wine back to its original place: "Think about it carefully, think about your father and mother. Your father can still be the governor of Anyang, what about you? Will you only be able to be a county magistrate in the future?"
Goldman Sachs: “Since we’ve come here, we can’t have come in vain.”
Lin You argued anxiously: "How can it be for nothing?! Ten dan of grain per mu! Is this for nothing?"
Gao Sheng glanced at him and said, "You take this immortal food back and give it directly to the people?"
Lin You: “No?”
Gao Sheng sneered: "Why don't you give the immortals' things to the emperor, but to you?"
Lin You was stunned.
Gao Sheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you don't give it to the emperor, you will lose your head, and the Lin family will not get any good results."
“But…” Lin You grabbed Gao Sheng’s sleeve, “If we present it to the emperor, when the immortal grain is distributed again, the people outside the city will starve to death!”
Goldman Sachs: "That's why I asked you to bring back some enjoyable things!"
Lin You: “…I see.”
After saying this, Lin You bowed to Gao Sheng and said, "Cousin, I am narrow-minded and misunderstood you."
Goldman waved his hand and said, "You don't misunderstand me. I am indeed pursuing my career."
Fame, wealth and power, how many people have ridiculed it from ancient times to the present, but how many people are rushing for it?
Everyone is rolling in the mundane world, so how can anyone be truly aloof?

"Change wine?" Ye Zhou excitedly scanned the agate, watching the numbers constantly jumping up and down, with a smile on his face unconsciously.
He said to Wu Yan who came to report, "Let him change it. It's just that the bottle is fragile. Tell him to be careful on the road."
Wu Yan: “Yes.”
In addition to wine, Lin You also exchanged a lot of other things.
They are all related to "eating, drinking and having fun".
Although Ye Zhou felt that Lin You probably didn't want to exchange these things himself, he didn't plan to ask, let alone care.
It is the customer's freedom to buy whatever they want, not to mention that supermarkets are full of goods and they are displayed for sale.
"Let him choose for himself." After Ye Zhou finished scanning a box of agate, his hands were a little tired. He looked at Zou Ming who was reading a magazine next to him.
After feeling Ye Zhou's gaze, Zou Ming raised his head, then put down the magazine, walked to Ye Zhou's side as if he had telepathic connection with Ye Zhou, took the barcode scanner, and repeated the mechanical movements just like Ye Zhou.
Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I'll go get some water first."
Zou Ming lowered his head, making it difficult for people to see his expression: "No need to thank me."
Ye Zhou: "You still have to be polite. Do you want something to drink? I'll get it for you. There are drinks, milk tea, and tea."
Zou Ming: "Mineral water is fine."
In addition to drinking water, Ye Zhou also has to prepare grain seeds for Lin You.
There are two things in total, sweet potatoes and potatoes. Ye Zhou also printed out a list of precautions in traditional Chinese characters.
No matter what he said, it was not as clear as the font.
Word of mouth is always prone to distortion.
Ye Zhou asked Wu Yan and his friends to pack up almost all the sweet potatoes and potatoes in the supermarket.
"Are these the immortal grains that produce ten stones per mu?" Although Wu Yan and his friends had eaten sweet potatoes and potatoes countless times in the supermarket, they had no idea that these two things were so productive.
And comparing the two, they prefer sweet potatoes.
Soft, sweet and with a stronger sweetness.
Before coming to the supermarket, they might not have had sugar once a year.
Ye Zhou nodded: "These are the two."
Moreover, the sweet potatoes sold in his supermarket are improved varieties, which not only have high yields but are also sweet.
Unlike the sweet potatoes his grandparents ate when they were young, they tasted bland and not sweet.
"Sweet potatoes can be kept for a long time after being dried." Ye Zhou smiled at Wu Yan and the others.
"If you leave it there without drying it in the sun, it might sprout." Ye Zhou thought for a moment, "After it sprouts, it can't be eaten, but it can be used for planting."
Wu Yan and the others suddenly became excited and asked, "My Immortal, can we grow them ourselves? We can grow them outside the supermarket!"
“Yes, we can grow our own!”
“I haven’t farmed since I came here.”
"You guys do the farming, I'll do the odd jobs. I don't want to farm anymore in my life!"
Perhaps it was because Wu Yan used to be a small landlord who also ran an oil press, so he had never worked in the fields himself. Instead, he was full of curiosity and yearning for farm work.
Those employees who have been farming since childhood are unwilling to farm again.
Their memories of farming are full of bitterness, not sweetness. They have never filled their stomachs with farming, nor have they ever bought anything for their families. There is only hard work and poverty.
Ye Zhou shook his head slightly: "Can't plant it."
Wu Yan was a little disappointed, but he soon heard Ye Zhou say, "I will probably leave here tomorrow, so you can go back and tell the others that those who are willing to go with me can go to the lounge tonight."
"I won't force you to leave if you don't want to. I'll leave some things for you and let Lin You take you to the south."
Wu Yan was stunned, and everyone present was speechless.
Leaving? Where to?
The immortal wants to take them with him?
If they go to the fairyland, can mortals like them really gain a foothold in the fairyland?
Or does the immortal want to take them to practice?
Can they become immortals too?
Ye Zhou also guessed what they would think, and added: "I'm not taking you to practice."
"It's about going to countless small worlds, without a destination."
"If you want to come back, you should be able to come back."
Ye Zhou: "Think it over carefully."
Chen Liu immediately said: "I am willing to follow the immortal!"
Chen Liu took the lead, and Wu Yan and others also shouted: "We are willing to follow the immortal!"
Ye Zhou shook his head slightly: "You have no say, go and have a good discussion with your family. It's hard to leave your hometown, not everyone is willing to leave."
His grandparents had such a hard life in their hometown. In their old age, didn’t they also want to return to their hometown?
Although there are no good memories when I think about it, I still want to go back to my hometown to be buried.
Ye Zhou waved his hand: "Go ask, and tell me tonight."
After watching Wu Yan and the others dragging potatoes and sweet potatoes away, Ye Zhou returned to the cashier counter. He put the mineral water next to Zou Ming and motioned to him, "Let me do it. Go drink some water and take a rest."
Zou Ming shook his head slightly: "No, aren't you planning to leave tomorrow? After scanning in, buy what you want. You can receive it tonight and leave tomorrow."
"You need to hire another person." Zou Ming asked, "Do you want me to recommend one to you?"
Ye Zhou nodded: "The one you mentioned before who has great patience, right? Is it a man or a woman? What's her name?"
Zou Ming: "Chen Shu, a woman, she was originally a soldier."
Ye Zhou asked curiously: "Which plane is she from? The same plane as you?"
Zou Ming: "No, she is in peacetime."
Ye Zhou smiled and said, "That's pretty good. She should be about the same as me. So, is she registering her resources in the system or is she forced to do so like me?"
Zou Ming thought for a moment and said, "It's voluntary. She wants to exercise."
Ye Zhou: "...Then she is really amazing."
·
Lin You asked someone to move the immortal grain onto the carriage, and he took the stack of papers handed over by Wu Yan with both hands. In order to prevent Lin You from accidentally dropping it on the road, Ye Zhou printed a total of ten copies.
"These words..." Lin You looked at the words on the paper. Before he even read the content, he was shocked by the words. "They are too formal."
It doesn't look like human writing at all. When the same person writes the same word, there will always be slight differences, but these words are completely different. The same word is exactly the same regardless of size or thickness.
It looked as if it was carved and then printed, but even if it was printed, there was not a single spot of uneven ink.
The paper was also different from what they were used to. It was finer and whiter, and there was not a single smudge of ink even though there were so many words on it.
"It is indeed worthy of being written by an immortal." Lin You held the stack of papers as if he were holding some rare treasure.
Wu Yan poured a bucket of cold water on him mercilessly: "It wasn't written by the immortal. The immortal never wrote it. He just used the immortal method."
Lin You: "...Since it is a magic technique used by the immortal himself! Then it can be considered as written by the immortal!"
Wu Yan was silent for a moment: "That makes sense."
Lin You then looked at the immortal food that Wu Yan and the others had brought. Because Ye Zhou was not there, and Lin You knew that Wu Yan and the others were all mortals, he asked without much restraint, "Brother Wu, have you ever eaten the immortal food?"
Wu Yan nodded: "Of course I have eaten it. This is a sweet potato, and this is a potato."
Wu Yan smiled and said, "We prefer sweet potatoes, which are soft, fragrant and sweet."
Lin You: “Sweet?”
Wu Yan nodded: "It's even better than sugar."
The food is filling, high in yield and sweet.
Lin You's face turned red with excitement.
"Potatoes are not tasty?" Goldman asked curiously.
Wu Yan: "Not really. Compared to sweet potatoes, they are not as delicious. But if they are fried into potato chips and added with some spices, they are also very fragrant."
"It would be nice to put a few pieces when stewing the meat." Wu Yan swallowed.
He wanted to eat stew.
In order to become an immortal, Cao'er's mother, although illiterate, was able to learn how to cook by looking at the pictures in the cookbook.
To Wu Yan, Cao'er Niang's cooking skills are now better than any chef in the hotel.
Especially braised pork.
Wu Yan swallowed again.
Every time, not even a drop of soup is left, as everyone rushes to use it to soak their rice.
The people brought by Lin You were moving the exchanged goods. They packed the wine carefully. In order to prevent the bottles from breaking on the way back, Ye Zhou also gave them a lot of foam paper to pad around the wooden boxes.
"Mr. Lin, don't you want to exchange for some dry food this time?" Wu Yan asked.
Lin You said with some shame: "It's already shameless to exchange it for wine, how dare I exchange it for dry food."
He thought that the things he brought should not even be able to be exchanged for grain seeds, but now not only could they be exchanged for them, but also for wine and other things.
He was already too ashamed to continue changing.
Although the immortal never stopped it and was not stingy with the things he exchanged, he also knew shame.
Wu Yan: "Then bring more water with you. There is no water source nearby."
Lin You bowed and said, "Thank you."
He turned his head to look at the busy guards, and at the wine and grain being loaded onto the carriage.
How much grain is needed to brew a bottle of wine?
And how many people can survive with that much food?
The rich and powerful are still living a life of drunkenness and debauchery while the common people are starving and waiting to die.
Lin You took a deep breath and said, "If the Immortal has any orders, I will not refuse even if I die!"
"Let's go!"
I don’t know if he will be able to come to the immortal cave and see the immortal again in the future.
