Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

In April, when the time for ancestor worship was approaching, some peddlers in Liyue Harbor stopped their work and prepared to go out of the city to worship their ancestors.

Over the past two months, Su Ping had worked hard and finally finished the fifth volume, and also received the money for the fourth volume.

Su Ping got up early as usual, drank a bowl of porridge, and went out with a basket filled with bunches of white flowers.

Su Ping used the flower seeds to plant these flowers on the remaining half acre of land at home. The quality of the flowers is quite good, and he also did some pruning work.

I learned this from that booklet. It's just a little manual work, not that difficult.

Su Ping wrote some auspicious words on the white ribbon used to tie the flowers together, which he wrote for the buyers to see.

He did not immediately go to the mountain roads to sell, but first ran to the quiet forest and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of his mother's grave.

Then he bowed three times, got up and left.

Outside of Liyue Harbor, every path in the mountains, no matter how big or small, must have at least one or two people on it. Countless people climbed up the mountains just to pay tribute to their deceased ancestors.

And at this moment, there may always be someone who forgets to bring something, or just comes to pay homage without bringing anything.

So if at this moment there is someone carrying a flower basket and selling bouquets, and the price is not too outrageous, then of course that would be their best choice.

After all, since you're here, what's wrong with spending a few hundred Mora to buy a bouquet of flowers and pay homage to your ancestors?

As time went by, more people came to the mountain road, and the thirty bouquets of flowers in Su Ping's basket gradually decreased.

But after that, the people who went up the mountain behind me all had flowers in their hands, and it looked like they were not specially ordered but bought on the road.

Su Ping knew that he had met a colleague, so he moved to another nearby mountain road to sell his goods, keeping his distance from that stranger colleague.

Perhaps it was fate between heaven and earth, when Su Ping was selling flowers here, he actually met someone he could say he knew.

The man's temples were gray, but his face was not old and he looked to be in the prime of life. His agile legs and feet also proved that he was not old.

This person is Tianshu, one of the Seven Stars.

"Xiao Su Ping, are you going into battle personally to reduce the burden on your family?" Tianshuxing waved his hand and said with a leisurely smile.

Su Ping looked at the visitor and shook his head, saying, "It's just to supplement the family expenses. God... do you need a bouquet?"

Tianshuxing touched his chin, smiled and said kindly, "Why, have you forgotten Uncle Tian in just a few days?"

Su Ping smiled and said slowly: "Uncle Tian, ​​if you are not in a hurry to go up the mountain, please go to the side with me. This is a mountain path, let's not block others."

"Okay, you're still thoughtful. It won't affect business, right?"

"No matter what, I can't leave you hanging."

Tianshuxing smiled, looked back at his wife and daughter, nodded, and walked to the side with Su Ping.

When Su Ping stood still, he also noticed the two women approaching.

Tianshuxing looked gentle and said softly, "This is my wife and my daughter Huixin, who is two years younger than you."

After Su Ping greeted him, he asked, "Uncle Tian, ​​why don't you bring some young men to help you when you go up the mountain?"

"Your uncle isn't well-known, and my family and I are just ordinary people. Why do we need to hire someone specially?" Tianshuxing said without changing his expression, as if he was just an ordinary resident.

Su Ping closed his eyes slightly, and after selling a bouquet of flowers to someone else, he said, "Uncle Tian, ​​would you like one?"

"Three beams!" Tianshuxing stretched out three fingers and took out the money. "How many Mora?"

"Six hundred for one bunch, one thousand eight hundred for three bunches. Do you want to pay Mora or in cash?" Su Ping said with a smile.

"These nine flowers in a bunch, do they have some meaning?"

"Yes, nine is the highest number. Offering this flower to the deceased can show how deeply we miss him!"

"Well, that's a good point." Tianshuxing took the exact amount of money and exchanged it with Su Ping, then gave it to his wife and daughter, each holding a bunch.

"Can all these be sold?" Tianshuxing suddenly asked, looking at the remaining white flowers in the basket.

Su Ping's eyes fell on the mountain road, where few people came up, so he said slowly: "It seems that they can't sell all of them."

"Do you have any stock left? Have you found a buyer?" Tianshuxing asked again.

Su Ping had no intention of hiding it. He felt that if the other party, a Seven Star, really had any ill intentions, he would not come to him, let alone ask about selling flowers.

"I still have more than 300 white flowers at home. If I sell them, I should be able to at least make back my investment and make a small profit by finding a good merchant in the market!"

"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, then it is indeed possible. After all, although there are many people who grow flowers, the market demand has always been there."

There was something dazed in Tianshuxing's eyes, as if the past had been blown away by the wind.

Su Ping nodded. He had seen this from the owner of the previous store. Otherwise, he should not have had a sad face, but a look of death.

Because most flowers only remain bright for a very short period of time after being picked, unless they are made into specimens. However, selling specimens is more troublesome than selling fresh flowers, as they still have to be processed.

There are too many processes involved, and it is also necessary to ensure that the specimens are basically harmless to the human body. It is really laborious and thankless. Therefore, if the flowers cannot be sold, they will generally be sold to the processing factory at the original price to ensure that there is no loss.

Su Ping originally thought so, but now, Tianshu Xing's words have shaken his mind a little.

"Uncle, do you have any other ways?" Su Ping's eyes flickered, and the middle-aged man with gray hair in his eyes shook his head and laughed.

"What are you thinking? Liyue is a society ruled by law. It's wrong for you to have such thoughts at such a young age. But if you want me to help you introduce a worthy buyer, it's still okay."

Tianshuxing had a righteous look on his face, as if there was no one in the world who hated evil more than him. Su Ping was stunned and smiled helplessly.

"In that case, thank you very much, Uncle Tian."

Su Ping put down the basket and bowed with both hands from top to bottom.

"The handover will be at the Central Exchange on Liyue Harbor Commercial Street in three days. Is that enough time?"

"Of course!" Su Ping said firmly, and then thanked him again.

Tianshuxing waved his hand lightly, still with a smile on his face. After saying goodbye, he took his wife and daughter and went up the mountain.

Su Ping stayed there for a while, and seeing that no one was buying flowers, he went back home. As for the remaining flowers in the basket, he could just untie the straps and take them to make up the number.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s three days later.

During these three days, Su Ping put aside his creative work and picked all the white flowers in the fields and loaded them onto the cart.

Hundreds of flowers only filled up a small part of the cart, and with the help of Uncle Zhang, they pushed the cart to Liyue Harbor.

The center of the commercial street is a place where many people trade with each other. Generally, people come here only to deliver larger orders of goods.

At the entrance of the place, Tianshu Xing clasped his hands in front of him. Although he looked a little weathered, his sharp eyes immediately fell on the oncoming cart.

It’s not that I had done any research in advance, or could recognize the objects at a glance, but the main reason was that the car full of white flowers was too eye-catching.

"Uncle Tian." Su Ping called out with a smile.

Tianshuxing nodded, looked at Uncle Zhang who was pushing the cart, and slowly said, "Brother, you take a break, I'll do it."

"No, no, I've been pushing this cart since I was as old as Xiao Su Ping. This short distance won't be a problem!" Uncle Zhang grinned and shook his head.

"How can that be? I'm here to help lead the way. How can I trouble the guests? Let me do it."

Tianshuxing then persuaded him a few more times before taking the cart from Uncle Zhang. As Su Ping hesitated, the three of them entered the mixed meeting place.

The merchant who made an appointment with Tianshuxing was a middle-aged man with a kind face and seemed easy to talk to.

However, Su Ping could see that the man restrained himself because he saw Tianshu Xing was present. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether he could get back his investment of half the car.

"Let's be frank, each flower must be at least 70 Mora. We won't sell it for less than that!"

"Oh, you're putting me in a difficult position. How about you lower the price a little bit? Sixty-five per flower, so we can keep it steady and still be friends in the future, right?"

Tianshu Xing snorted and said slowly: "If you don't want it, others will be vying for it. Friends should also be judged by whether they are gold and jade or wine and meat, right? A steady stream of money is good, but if it is blocked, then there will be nothing left!"

"Yes, yes." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Finally, under the tyranny of Tianshu Star, the man surrendered, gritted his teeth and signed the contract, and the money and goods were settled.

Afterwards, Tianshuxing took Su Ping and his nephew out of the venue, found a secluded place to sit, and then handed the money to Su Ping.

"About three hundred flowers, seventy Mora each, a total of twenty-one thousand, all here."

Su Ping took the money and put it in his arms. This time he did not say thank you, because there is a saying that goes, "Great favors need no thanks."

Tianshuxing touched his chin and laughed, "How about staying for a cup of tea?"

Su Ping shook his head slightly, explained that his father was injured at home and needed someone to take care of him, then said goodbye and went home.

"That's good, you filial child..." Tianshuxing nodded gently, with tenderness in his eyes and a hint of sadness that others could notice.

On the way, Su Ping secretly sighed in his heart. Who would have thought that Tianshu, one of the seven stars, would recommend flowers to him and help him bargain for the price?

This being the case, Su Ping also made up his mind that if this person really needed him to go through fire and water for something in the future, he would definitely not refuse.

This was not because he could not see the other party clearly and tried to win people's hearts, but even so what? Tianshuxing was indeed helping him.

If this is the case and Su Ping still has no idea, then he lived in vain in his previous life.
