Start a mysterious island

Chapter 570 It’s a wonderful experience to be given gifts by someone other than a human being (two chapters in one)

"The price I gave you is considered high. If you go to other pawn shops, the price offered by others will only be lower."

"Why?" Qin Muqing asked very confused.

She originally thought that the flower essence she created through enduring pain and using her powers could be sold for at least fifty silver coins.

Now it can only be sold for one-fifth of the price. The gap is too big, which makes her very disappointed.

"Your flower essence should be made from different flowers, right?" asked the middle-aged man with a mustache.

"Yes." Qin Muqing thought for a while, and the other party's guess was correct. She extracted the half bottle of flower essence from various flowers in the courtyard.

“The most popular flower essences on the market now are extracted from a single variety of flowers.

It's difficult to sell this kind of mixed flower essence..." the middle-aged man with a mustache explained seriously.

"That's it!" Qin Muqing's ordinary face showed an expression of sudden realization.

"What do you mean, do you still want to be this bottle of flower essence?" the middle-aged man with a mustache asked in a calm tone.

"Yeah." Qin Muqing nodded, still choosing to sell the flower essence.

Although the price was far lower than she expected, she had no choice in her current situation.

After all, she doesn't even have a copper coin on hand now, and her family is running out of money. If she doesn't pawn the flower essence in exchange for some money, she will starve to death.

Seeing that Qin Muqing had no objection to the price, the middle-aged man with a mustache decided to sell the flower essence. His originally very plain face showed a slight strangeness.

Then, he opened the drawer of the cabinet and took out a small wooden box for money.

"Put these ten silver coins away."

"Thank you." Qin Muqing, who was knowledgeable and sensible, accepted ten bills worth one silver coin, and then thanked him very politely.

The middle-aged man with a mustache saw Qin Muqing turning to leave and asked, "Guest, may I ask, where did you get this mixed flower essence?"

Qin Muqing replied with a normal expression, "Someone gave it to me."

"Oh." The middle-aged man with a mustache nodded, did not continue to ask, and then said with a smile.

"If you still want to sell this kind of mixed-flavor flower essence in the future, you are welcome to come again."

"Yeah." Qin Muqing responded softly, turned and left the pawn shop.

After the guests left, the originally expressionless middle-aged man with a mustache grinned with an excited smile on his face.

"Tap, step, step..."

There was a sound of footsteps, and the guy who went to boil hot water for tea came to the hall with tea.

He saw the shopkeeper at the counter, looking at the glass bottle filled with water in his hand with an excited smile, and asked with confusion, "Shopkeeper, why are you so happy?"

"Little Plum, come and smell this." The middle-aged man with a mustache greeted his waiter with a smile.

"It smells so good. Is this flower essence?" the waiter asked after smelling the fragrance.

"Yes."

"This is the first time I have seen this kind of flower essence without any impurities. At first glance, I thought it was just ordinary fresh water."

"Yes! I have been working in the industry for decades, and this is the first time I have seen such excellent quality flower essence."

"Shopkeeper, how much did you charge for this flower essence?"

"Guess." The middle-aged man with a mustache said.

The waiter thought that since the shopkeeper was laughing so heartily, the price he charged must be very low, so he lowered the price and said, "Sixty silver coins?"

The middle-aged man with a mustache shook his head and said, "Guess again."

The guy said, "Fifty silver coins?"

"Ten silver coins." The middle-aged man with a mustache revealed the answer.

"Ah?" When the clerk heard this, a shocked expression appeared on his face, and he said in disbelief, "It's only ten silver coins, how is it possible?

The cheapest flower essence on the market costs thirty silver coins. With such excellent quality, even if it is priced at one hundred silver coins, people will rush to buy it. "

"This kind of mixed flower essence usually has a weird taste, but it is very rare that it can exude such an alluring fragrance.

Not to mention that if the price is one hundred silver coins, people will rush to buy it. Even if I price it higher, one hundred and twenty silver coins, people will still rush to buy it. "The middle-aged man with a mustache said with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, you are really awesome!" the waiter said with admiration.

"The main reason is that the village girl just now was ignorant and didn't understand the market of flower essence.

Even if she knows something, I can't accept this half bottle of flower essence at such a low price..." The middle-aged man with a mustache said proudly.

"If she finds out about the market later, will she come to us and ask for an explanation?" said the waiter.

“I didn’t force her to sell it to me, I paid her the money and delivered the goods.

I have already paid for the goods. If she regrets and comes to visit me in the future, what can she do to us? The only thing to blame is my lack of knowledge. "The middle-aged man with a mustache said confidently.

…………

The lively neighborhood is full of people coming and going and noisy sounds.

Qin Muqing came out of the pawn shop, reached into his pocket and took out a small wad of cash.

After many days, the poor Qin Muqing had money in her hands again. Although the money was not much, she was still very happy.

Looking at the one-silver-coin banknotes in his hand, Qin Muqing counted them again, fearing that he had not counted them properly and missed a few.

"That's right, there are exactly ten, a total of ten silver coins. Although the money is not much, I can use this money sparingly, which is enough to cover expenses for a long time.

And in the near future, I no longer have to eat white rice porridge and pickles every day. "Qin Muqing, who was counting the money, had a bright smile on his face.

Passers-by walking on the street looked at Qin Muqing who was standing on the side of the road and giggled, wondering why this village girl was smiling so happily.

"Huh?" Qin Muqing noticed the gazes of passers-by falling on her. She was a little confused at first as to why these people were looking at her, and then she seemed to realize in hindsight that wealth should not be exposed.

Qin Muqing, who had been robbed before, quickly stuffed a small wad of cash into her pocket and hurried back home.

"I'm so hungry! Go to the vegetable store to buy some fresh vegetables and meat before going home."

Blue Star, Rongcheng.

In a large bookstore, there are many people in the comics section, flipping through various types of comics that have recently been put on the shelves.

"This comic is good, I bought it."

"There is also this one, which is also quite good. I bought it."

"Well, although this book is not interesting, it is still readable and I bought it."

Lin Li made a selection and selected several newly released comics, then carried them to the cashier to check out.

After a while, Lin Li walked out of the bookstore carrying a plastic bag containing comic books.

The sun hanging high in the sky emitted bright sunlight that fell on Lin Li's body.

He raised his right hand to cover his eyes, and the golden sunlight passed through the gaps between his fingertips and fell on Lin Li's face, reflecting some golden spots.

"I know, I know, I know..."

There are countless cicadas hidden in the prosperous trees on the street, and their continuous chirping fills my ears.

It is now late September, and the weather in Rongcheng is still a bit hot.

Unlike northern cities, the feeling of summer passing and autumn arriving has been clearly felt by everyone.

"If it weren't for the typhoon before, the weather would be even hotter!" Lin Li murmured to himself, feeling the heat wave coming towards him, and then he walked quickly to where he parked his car.

"Boom..."

There was a roar of cars, and after the silver-white van started, it quickly drove towards the corner of the distant street.

After a while, Lin Li drove his car back to Ping'an Garden Community.

"Crack."

After the car parked, he just got out of the car when he saw a black figure running out of the grass on the side.

"It's you!" Lin Li looked at the little black cat in front of him and asked with a smile, "Want to eat ham?"

"Meow..." The little black cat shook his head.

"Oh." Lin Li saw the little black cat shaking his head, then turned to leave.

"Meow..." The little black cat saw Lin Li leaving and immediately chased after him. It ran in front of Lin Li and blocked Lin Li's way.

Lin Li looked at the meowing little black cat in front of him, wondering what this little guy was trying to do by stopping him.

It's a pity that Zhou Tongtong, the translator, has gone to school now, otherwise he could have asked her what the little black cat in front of her meant.

"Meow..." At this time, the little black cat also found that Lin Li was confused and didn't understand what he meant, and was very anxious.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he walked around behind Lin Li, raised a small paw and pointed forward.

Lin Li turned around and looked at the little black cat running behind him. Looking at its actions, he thought for a few seconds and guessed, "Do you want me to follow you there?"

"Meow..." the little black cat nodded.

"What are you doing there? Is there anything interesting over there?"

"Meow……"

"Uh, okay! Just pretend I didn't ask, I'll go over with you and have a look." Lin Li said, and then he followed the little black cat and walked slowly towards the green belt in front.

After a while, Lin Li, who was following the little black cat, came to a green belt in a remote corner of the community.

"Is there nothing interesting here?" Lin Li looked around and saw nothing worth paying attention to. He lowered his head and looked at the little black cat in confusion.

"Meow..." The little black cat turned back and gave Lin Li a waiting look, and then barked at a leafy tree not far away.

"Shashasha..."

The crown of the vigorously growing tree made a sound of branches and leaves colliding, and a white figure jumped down from the tree.

"Huh?" Lin Li quickly ran towards his location after seeing the little white cat land.

"What is this?" When the little white cat ran to Lin Li, Lin Li found that the little guy had something in his mouth.

"Meow..." The little white cat put the thing in its mouth on the ground, held it down with a small paw, then raised its head and looked at Lin Li.

"Squeak..." A loud sound came from under the little white cat's paws.

Lin Li looked at the two little wild cats in front of him who raised their heads and looked up at him, and asked them in an uncertain tone, "Are you going to give me this cicada as a gift?"

"Meow..." The little white cat and the little black cat nodded. The two little guys discussed it for a long time yesterday and finally decided to catch a cicada as a gift to Lin Li to thank him for feeding him many times in recent times.

"Um..." Lin Li raised his hand and scratched his cheek. He didn't know what to say for a moment. If he was still a child, he would really like cicadas.

"Meow...Xiao Bai, he doesn't seem to like this gift very much!" The little black cat turned his head, looked at the little friend next to him, and whispered.

"Meow...I said yesterday that he might not like this thing. Look! I was right." the little white cat replied.

Lin Li saw two little wild cats whispering and looking at him from time to time.

At this time, he easily guessed what the two little guys were talking about, so he quickly squatted down and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your gift, I like it very much."

After saying that, Lin Li reached out and grabbed the squeaking cicada under the little white cat's paws.

"Meow...he likes this gift!" the little black cat shouted happily.

"Meow... As long as you like it, I spent a lot of time catching this cicada just now." said the little white cat.

It was the first time that Lin Li received such a special gift, and the person who gave it to him was not a human being. This feeling was quite strange.

He smiled and looked at the two little wild cats in front of him who looked very happy after seeing him accept the gift, and said.

"Little guy, since you gave me a gift, then I have to give you a gift in return..."

With a thought in his mind, two small red fruits, the size of pigeon eggs and identical to Xiao Xihong, appeared in Lin Li's hands.

"Meow...it's spiritual fruit!!!" The little white cat and the little black cat looked at the two small fruits that appeared out of thin air in Lin Li's hand. Because they had eaten them before, they knew that these two small fruits were spiritual fruits, and then they shouted in surprise. .

"You guys eat! I'm going back." Lin Li put the two spiritual fruits in his hands on the ground, then stood up and left with the special gift.

After Lin Li stood up and left, the two little wild cats immediately picked up the spiritual fruit on the ground and ate it with relish.

"Meow... Xiaobai, we can give Lin Li more gifts in the future, so that we can have a lot of spiritual fruits to eat." The little black cat chewed the spiritual fruits in his mouth and said vaguely.

"Meow... what you think is so beautiful." The little white cat responded angrily. It was embarrassed to do such a shameless thing.

After taking the spirit fruit, within a few seconds, the two little wild cats, who had just broken through to the first stage of the first stage, felt that their bodies were filled with a huge warm current.

"Meow...it's so comfortable!"

Two little wild cats were lying on the grass, with their limbs spread out and their eyes squinting to absorb the large amount of spiritual energy released by the spiritual fruit.

For 'rookies' like them who have just broken through to the first stage, the amount of spiritual energy contained in the spiritual fruit produced by this spiritual plant on the mysterious island is quite considerable.

After eating, it helps to improve their own cultivation.

"Click."

"boom."

The door opened and a figure walked into the room.

Lin Li took off his shoes at the entrance and then went to the utility room.

"squeak……"

The cicada placed in the glass bottle screams from time to time.

Although the lid is not on, it cannot fly out of the glass bottle.

I wanted to struggle again and climb out of the glass bottle, but unfortunately the bottle wall was too smooth and I couldn't grasp it at all.

Looking through the transparent glass, one could see a terrifying giant looking at him with bright eyes. The cicada, who had no hope of escape, was so frightened that he remained motionless and stopped making any sounds.

Lin Li smiled when he saw the cicada in the glass bottle pretending to be dead. Then he put the glass bottle on the coffee table, picked up the fruit plate, and went to the kitchen to wash some fruits for himself.

"squeak……"

The cicada pretending to be dead saw the terrifying giant leaving and made a small cry. Then it tried to climb again, but failed again and again, making it completely desperate.

"Tap, step, step..."

There were footsteps coming from the direction of the kitchen, and the scary giant came back again. The frightened cicada in the glass bottle quickly pretended to be dead.

Lin Li washed the fruit, returned to the living room with the fruit plate, turned on the TV, and watched the program on TV while eating the fruit. His attention no longer fell on the cicada in the glass bottle on the coffee table.
