Chapter 700 - 700 700 The Price of Meat Begins to Rise

700: Chapter 700 The Price of Meat Begins to Rise 700: Chapter 700 The Price of Meat Begins to Rise To show that he was researching something and to cover up his fast pace, Zhao Guang didn’t immediately return home, but instead strolled leisurely on the streets, attending to other matters in his territory.

It wasn’t until several days later that Zhao Guang finally showed up at home.

As soon as he arrived, he saw Ye Zhi with dark circles under her eyes, looking somewhat wilted.

“What happened to you, haven’t you slept in days?” Zhao Guang was very surprised.

“What do you mean, days without sleep?

But I have indeed been tormented these past few days.”

Through Ye Zhi’s explanation, Zhao Guang came to understand.

Apparently, in the last few days, people kept coming down to investigate and interrogate her.

Although she wasn’t treated like a criminal, the intensity was still very high.

Even as Elder Ye’s granddaughter, the authorities still needed to confirm that she was absolutely without issues.

After all, the only person who could directly contact Zhao Guang was Ye Zhi.

Other people were also being investigated to a certain degree, just not as overtly as Ye Zhi.

How could it not be so?

Others were Zhao Guang’s relatives, but because Ye Zhi did not have that relation, she was investigated the most harshly.

Combined with the many things she had to do recently, Ye Zhi ended up in such a state.

Fortunately, with Elder Ye up high, no one dared to do anything to Ye Zhi.

But after several days of interrogation, Ye Zhi really hadn’t rested well.

“It should be fine now, right?

Rest well these few days, leave the other matters to someone else.”

Zhao Guang spread his hands, feeling helpless, and decided to leave it at that.

“That won’t do, things have been getting more and more troublesome recently.”

“What’s wrong?

Isn’t it all settled now?” Since he released the information to the public, it was the people on top who should be bothered.

Ye Zhi had no official position, so how could these issues affect her?

“How can there be nothing wrong?

Didn’t you know?

Recently, the price of pork from the Magic Beasts has dramatically increased.”

“Pork price increase?

What caused that?” Zhao Guang was clueless.

He knew the price for the Magic Beasts’ pork was already high, a price that even wealthy people couldn’t withstand for every meal.

Even if they wanted to eat it every meal, it wouldn’t be possible, as there wasn’t that much meat available.

But from this, one could see that the price of these Magic Beasts was indeed outrageous.

“What else could cause it if not the fact that the Magic Beasts’ pork aids in cultivation?”

How could the Magic Beasts’ pork help with cultivation?

Wait, actually—there might be something to it.

Zhao Guang suddenly realized that these Magic Beasts weren’t creatures from Earth, and they were in essence low-level Magic Beasts.

Though they didn’t possess Elemental Power in their bodies, they still had some special effects.

Furthermore, the rich nutrients contained in their flesh and blood could indeed stimulate Qi-Blood if consumed in large quantities.

Maybe the effect of stimulating Qi-Blood with the Magic Beasts’ pork wasn’t so violent, but once someone began cultivating, they might notice some benefits.

Zhao Guang could only speculate; he didn’t know the specifics.

Then, following Ye Zhi’s narrative, Zhao Guang confirmed the accuracy of his thoughts.

“Are you saying that after eating the Magic Beasts’ pork, the Qi-Blood consumed in cultivation can recover quickly, so it’s like indirectly enhancing cultivation speed by several times?”

Ye Zhi nodded, she herself hadn’t expected the Magic Beasts’ pork to have such an effect.

“Then in that case, hasn’t the top enacted any restrictions?”

“Restrictions are already in place, but not officially declared.

In the future, most of the Magic Beasts’ pork isn’t allowed for export.

The authorities are also suggesting whether the breeding scale for these Magic Beasts could be increased.

After all, they can’t withstand the price either,” she explained.

Zhao Guang understood, “No problem, but if the Magic Beasts’ pork is useful, what about the White Marlin?”

“That also has some effects, so its price has gone up too.”

Alright, these people were indeed very adept at making connections.

Since a problem had arisen, they would of course consider all scenarios and conduct experiments.

Although it had only been a few days, it was enough time for them.

“Not only the White Marlin, but the price of bread pigs and even ordinary meats are going up, too.”

“Ordinary meats?

They shouldn’t have the same effect, should they?”

“Although they don’t, meats are indeed more effective than other foods.

It’s proven that martial practitioners need to eat meat.

So with many people buying large amounts of meat recently, increased demand naturally drives up prices.”

So that’s how it is.

In that case, the turmoil is not minor.

“Isn’t this a matter that affects people’s livelihood?

Hasn’t the top taken any action?”

“How could they not?

But there’s no helping it.

The meat stored in warehouses is nowhere near enough under these circumstances.

If this continues, the price will surely skyrocket.”

Then Ye Zhi continued, “But I’m not affected; after all, this isn’t a real famine.

Once the price reaches a certain point, it will naturally drop again.

Plus, domestically there’s already an increase in breeding scales.”

Then, pulling out a document, Ye Zhi remarked, “Our farms have now become leaders of the hot industry.

It’s just that we haven’t gone public, otherwise your net worth would certainly reach an outrageous level.”

Zhao Guang rolled his eyes.

If he really wanted to, he could absolutely become the world’s richest man in the public eye.

It might even be possible that there would be no one richer than him in the whole world.

He could be wealthy enough to rival countries.

But that would be meaningless.

At his level, flaunting wealth had no value.

In fact, if he did so, he might become a thorn in the side for countless people.

After all, no matter where, resentment towards the wealthy is a common sentiment.

Even if he started from nothing, even if he made significant contributions to society, the resentment would still exist.

“Regardless, we still need to find a way to lower the price.

It seems we really do need to expand the scale.” He didn’t want meat to have such a profound impact due to high prices.

Moreover, if this situation persisted for a long time, the people above wouldn’t have a good impression of him, would they?

Now Zhao Guang, with his personal strength, feared nothing, but if he wanted to live comfortably and peacefully, to ensure his family was well, he needed to be mindful of these issues.

He wasn’t looking to make enemies.

Living in this mundane world, to keep a peaceful life from being disrupted, it’s best to pay attention to certain things.

“The price does need to come down.

Liu Jiayin’s side is already preparing, but it probably won’t be possible for the next few years.

By the way, your Jade Bamboo has also risen in price.

They say it’s nutritious and beneficial to cultivation.”

Zhao Guang was speechless.

How had everything turned out this way?

Even if the Jade Bamboo had some benefits, they probably weren’t significant.

These people really didn’t pass up anything at all that was even slightly different.

But for the Jade Bamboo, there was no need to keep it all to himself.

It was time to spread it out.
