Chapter 178 Apprenticeship Letter
Meng Qingyin nodded and smiled, "I slept very well."
She wanted to go into the kitchen to help Li Tieniu, but Li the blacksmith stopped her: "He can manage by himself, let him do the work. You hurry up and find the things I told you about yesterday."
Li Tieniu also said that he did not need any help.
Meng Qingyin sat down opposite Li the blacksmith and opened the trading hall.
Fruits and vegetables were incredibly cheap, and she quickly bought celery, red dates, and dried longan.
She already has dried meat, so she doesn't need to buy any.
However, after searching the entire trading hall, they still couldn't find lotus seeds and red beans.
Meng Qingyin belatedly realized that both of them seemed to be seeds.
The fruits and vegetables on this map do not have seeds.
Moreover, the apprenticeship certificate cannot be found.
This is a difficult situation.
Meng Qingyin's apprenticeship process came to a standstill.
When Li the blacksmith learned of this situation, he was helpless, and Meng Qingyin would have to find the red beans and lotus seeds herself.
But regarding the apprenticeship invitation, he did offer her a solution: "Perhaps you could seek out Granny Jinxiu."
Meng Qingyin also remembered that Granny Jinxiu's items would be refreshed according to the players' urgent needs.
The apprenticeship certificate must be with Granny Jinxiu.
The Night Demon Heart I obtained from killing the Night Demon in the secret realm last time can come in handy.
As for the rumor that Grandma Kim Soo only trades with men, that's just a hoax.
So as long as she can see Grandma Jinxiu, she can buy the apprenticeship certificate.
Meng Qingyin privately messaged Qin Jiu: "Little Jiu, lend me all your good wines."
Without saying a word, Qin Jiu sent all her wine to Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin placed all the wine bottles on the table and waited for Granny Jinxiu to arrive.
They waited for two hours.
Grandma Jinxiu followed the scent of wine and came over.
Seeing a pretty young girl sitting opposite her, she thought to herself that she was in trouble and might be falling for a honey trap.
Before Meng Qingyin could even say goodbye, Granny Jinxiu ran away.
Meng Qingyin was dumbfounded. Wasn't Granny Jinxiu being far too wary?
Grandma Jinxiu ran away, what should she do?
Oh, right, the energetic old man!
You could ask the elderly folks to help you make the contact.
Meng Qingyin opened a private chat and sent a message to the elderly man: "Grandpa, are you able to contact Grandma Jinxiu now?"
The elderly man said, "We had a very pleasant conversation last time and added each other as friends, so we can keep in touch. What's up?"
Meng Qingyin said helplessly, "I wanted to buy something from Grandma Jinxiu, but she ran away as soon as she saw me before I could even say a word."
The elderly man said, "She must have been intimidated by the fact that you were a young girl. She's very soft-hearted, and she can't bring herself to refuse a young girl with such pitiful eyes. That's why a young girl took advantage of her and swindled a lot of goods from her, and she was severely punished. So, once bitten, twice shy."
Mengmeng: "So Grandma Jinxiu has such a story."
No wonder Grandma Jinxiu ran away as soon as she saw her.
The elderly man asked, "What do you want to buy? Or should I buy it for you?"
Mengmeng: "I'm afraid that won't work. Grandma Jinxiu's products are tailored to each individual."
For her, Grandma Kim Soo's shop might have an apprenticeship certificate.
But if it were an elderly, energetic man, the goods would be exactly what he desperately needed.
Therefore, she had to make the deal with Grandma Kim Soo herself and couldn't delegate it to someone else.
Mengmeng: "Grandpa, could you please pass on a message to Granny Jinxiu for me? I'll make a fair trade with her using the Heart of the Night Demon, and I will never overstep my bounds."
The elderly man said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Mengmeng: "Thank you!"
Meanwhile, Wu Aiguo sent a message to Jinxiu's mother-in-law: "Jinxiu, a friend of mine wants to make a deal with you. Are you available now?"
Grandma Jinxiu was very wary: "Is your friend a man or a woman?"
The elderly man said, "It's a young girl, you've seen her before."
Traveling merchant Granny Jinxiu: "Is that the very pretty young girl from earlier?"
The elderly man said, "Yes, yes, it's her. She asked me to pass on a message to you: she's making a fair trade with you using the Heart of the Night Demon and will never cross the line. Xiao Meng is a very good girl, unlike the little girl you met before."
Grandma Jinxiu, a traveling merchant, said: "Some people are good at pretending. They pretend to be helpless, but you never know when they will bite you unexpectedly."
The elderly man said, "Xiao Meng is my friend, and I'm willing to vouch for her."
The traveling merchant, Granny Jinxiu, said: "It seems you trust her a lot."
The elderly man said, "Because I know she's not the kind of person who's all sweet talk and no action."
Granny Jinxiu, the traveling merchant: "Alright, for your sake, I can give her a chance."
The elderly man said, "Thank you very much. Come over another day and I'll treat you to some wine! I've made some wine."
Grandma Jinxiu, the traveling merchant: "Okay."
Meng Qingyin couldn't guarantee that Grandma Jinxiu would definitely come.
She could only wait.
A short while later, the elderly man sent her a message: "Grandma Jinxiu agreed!"
Meng Qingyin suppressed her excitement: "I understand! Thank you so much!"
No sooner had she sent the message than Grandma Jinxiu appeared again.
She cut to the chase: "You really have the heart of the Night Demon?"
The reason she agreed to give Meng Qingyin a chance was not entirely because of the old man's guarantee.
Another very important reason is that there are almost no Night Demon Hearts on the market.
The number of Night Demon Hearts that traveling merchants had to hand over was regulated.
She had more authority than other traveling merchants, so she naturally handed over more Night Demon Hearts.
For example, Ah Chen only needs to hand over one Night Demon Heart at this stage.
But she has to hand over two.
I already got one from the old man with spiritual health last time, and I'm still missing one.
She searched for several days but couldn't find it.
That's why she agreed.
Meng Qingyin directly took out the Heart of the Night Demon: "Granny Jinxiu, I sincerely want to make a deal with you."
Grandma Jinxiu nodded: "Okay."
With a wave of her hand, the shop appeared in front of Meng Qingyin.
The shop only had one item: an apprenticeship certificate.
Meng Qingyin was overjoyed; it really was a letter of apprenticeship!
Without much hesitation, she bought the apprenticeship certificate.
Seeing the apprenticeship certificate in her hand, Grandma Jinxiu was somewhat surprised: "It's actually an apprenticeship certificate? Who do you want to become your apprentice to?"
Meng Qingyin replied, "Li the blacksmith."
Grandma Jinxiu looked at her in surprise, "The 23rd generation successor of the Li family forging? He actually took you as his apprentice."
Meng Qingyin pointed to the wine on the table: "Mother-in-law, would you like to sit down and have a drink?"
Grandma Jinxiu immediately became wary. Was she trying to get her drunk so she could make demands?
She initially intended to leave, but then she thought that perhaps she should observe whether this young girl had ulterior motives.
So Grandma Jinxiu sat down, poured herself a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
After a few rounds of drinks, Granny Jinxiu's face showed signs of intoxication.
