Chapter 7: Duel (4)

Early the next morning, we were caught up in a cacophony in the yard, and it turned out that another group of people had arrived. Yuan Zhao found a secluded place to practice, and I decided to go out shopping.

Gangneung is truly a thoroughfare, bringing together the specialties of various places. I don't know if Gangneung was originally so prosperous, or because of the martial arts competition, the crowd on the street was crowded and shouting. I looked east and west in the bustling city, and I was curious about what I saw.

"Uncle, go upstairs and sit down!" A middle-aged woman with heavy makeup pulled me to a small building on the side of the road, and I looked up to see that the upstairs and downstairs were full of well-dressed young women. "Uncle, don't worry, all the girls in our Tianxianglou are capable of playing and singing, you will have fun. The middle-aged woman dragged me in and shouted upstairs, "Girls, you're here!" and the girls came down from the balcony upstairs and came straight to me.

When I think of this, my face is hot, and I disguise myself as a man to go to the brothel to have fun, and if I spread the word, I will become the laughing stock of the world. Although I also wanted to go up to see what it was like inside the Qinglou, I still hurriedly broke free from the other party's drag, and fled into the flow of people, and from time to time there was a scolding voice from the other party behind me, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, really not a man...", this girl is not a man in the first place.

Before I knew it, I had been out for a day, and I had been tasting various snacks in Gangneung along the way, so I didn't feel hungry at all, even though it was sunset. Passing through a sparsely populated alley along the main road, I accidentally saw that there was a luxuriously decorated jade shop inside, which was as crowded as this small alley. Strange, why didn't anyone go in and patronize it? I decided to go in and find out.

"Guest officer, please inside. The boss was a chubby middle-aged man, and when he saw that there was business, he immediately got up to greet him. The three walls of the shop are divided into small compartments with various jade objects, and a table in the middle of the store is neatly arranged with relatively small jade jewelry. "We have a wide variety of jade here, and the price is fair, so you can choose it with confidence. "The fat boss followed me like a big money owner to introduce the situation in the store.

Seeing his appearance, I suddenly became vigilant, and then pretended to ask casually: "You can't be a black shop here, right?"

"Why did Childe say this, I have always been a child...... "The fat boss put on an innocent look

"Then why hasn't anyone come to your store all the time?" I grabbed a jade earring on the table and played with it, turning back to question the fat man.

The fat boss defended: "Childe, my store just opened today!"

Chill ...... , the opening is so deserted, no wonder it is so enthusiastic to me. I was about to tell him some ways to attract some popularity, when suddenly, my eyes were attracted by an object on the wall: I saw a piece of jade carved into the shape of a mountain stone, placed on a wooden base, which looked quite imposing.

Take a closer look, there are also engraved words, on the book "Shoubi Nanshan" four words. Seeing that I liked it, the store salesman: "Childe is really good eyesight, this is carved from the jade produced in Hetian in the Western Regions, and it is perfect as a birthday gift." "The boss's words are saying that my heart is in my heart, the old lady's birthday is coming, I said that I will come to Jiangling to buy some unique birthday gifts for her, and it is not good to go back empty-handed?

"Boss, how much is this jade, I want it. Seeing that the fat boss stretched out five fingers, I couldn't help but shout happily: "It's only five taels, it's so cheap!"

I only heard him say in a broken voice: "Childe, it's not five taels, it's fifty taels!"

I sneered in my heart, hum, if I can't cure you, a profiteer, how can Miss Ben claim to be a master of bargaining: "This is too expensive, boss, I'm from Guanzhong, we have a lot of Lantian jade there, and it's not as expensive as yours." ”

"Childe, don't you know, this is a bloody Hetian jade, which is very different from the jade you have seen in the past. "What is Xueqin?" "Miss, look," the shopkeeper carefully held the Shoushan stone in his hand and put it in front of me: "Look, what is so special about this jade?" I carefully re-examined this piece of jade by the light: "There seems to be something red in the jade..."

"That's right. The boss pointed to the red color and said, "This is the blood, the jade with the blood is the best in the jade!" After he finished speaking, I nodded as if I didn't understand. However, the price is still going to be killed, and for a master bargainer who is keen on bargaining, it would be a shame to buy something at the price mentioned by the seller. But no matter how soft and hard I grind, the shopkeeper just sticks to the bottom line of fifty taels and does not let go.

"Boss," I had no choice but to show my trump card: "Do you have a membership card in your store?" From the boss's eyes, I saw a lot of despair...

"Senior brother, I'm back. "As soon as I came back, I held my newly bought jade and showed it off to Yuan Zhao.

"That's good!" Yuan Zhao's eyes lit up, and he took it over and looked at it carefully and said, "It's really good, this is the birthday gift you bought for your wife!"

"Of course, how about it, yes, it cost me fifty taels!" "It's a good thing, but it's too expensive." Yuan Zhao said regretfully. By the way, I suddenly remembered that I wanted to give Yuan Zhao a gift, so I took something out of my pocket and said, "Senior brother, I want to give you a gift." "What is it?" said Motoaki's tone full of anticipation. "Guess what," I deliberately hung Yuan Zhao's appetite.
