Chapter 13 Zhuang Hu

As the crowd grew, the rich daughter, the eldest lady and the like all came to watch, the smile on Chen Xuan's face became more and more determined, he was not afraid that no one would look at it, he was afraid that no one would care, this lantern was originally sold for the rich and noble, if the price is low, there is not even the money to return to the capital, and few people will buy the outrageous price, so the price is between a few thousand and ten thousand is the most suitable.

The price was set to a few thousand to 10,000 yuan is the price that those rich daughters can afford, and soon many people rushed to watch, and the inner and outer three floors were surrounded by water, and the discussion became the most lively scenery of Fugui Street for a while.

Finally, a girl dressed in red couldn't resist the temptation of the lantern, pointed to a lantern and said, "Five thousand gold coins, that lotus lantern, I want it." ”

"Good. ”

Chen Xuan nodded, gave her the lotus lantern that the girl in red wanted, and explained how to play.

The girl in red didn't leave immediately when she got the lantern, she looked at Chen Xuan and said curiously: "Stallholder, what are the characters painted on this rotating lamp?"

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the girl in red to ask like this, he was stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses and said, "The pattern on this lantern represents a story. ”

Buying a lantern and listening to a story, the girl in red asked, "What story?"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, and then told the story: "A little white snake cultivated in the mountains, one day, the little white snake was captured by an old snake man, and was almost killed, but fortunately was rescued by a little shepherd boy. Bai Suzhen secretly swore to herself: I will always remember this life-saving grace. After 1,700 years of cultivation, Bai Suzhen finally shed her snake body and was able to transform into a human form. She originally wanted to go to Emei Mountain to continue her cultivation, but after Guanyin's guidance, she remembered that there was still a love affair in the world. She followed the guidance and came to the West Lake in Hangzhou to find Xu Xian, the life-saving benefactor in her previous life...."

Chen Xuan is talking about the story of the White Lady and Xu Xian, and when he finishes speaking, everyone is immersed in a beautiful love story, and the girl in red is no exception.

The girl in red, who came back to her senses first, pointed to another lantern and said, "What about the stories of other lanterns?"

Chen Xuan waved his hand and said, "I'm sorry, every lantern can only be said if you buy it." ”

The girl in red looked disappointed, but she thought that she had already bought a lantern, and her heart suddenly became happy again.

Waiting for the girl in red to leave, some rich ladies heard that they had to buy a lantern to listen to the story, so they couldn't help but take out gold coins to buy one after another, Chen Xuan's face smiled even brighter, and at the same time explained the story on each lantern one by one.

After a while, Chen Xuan stalled ten lanterns and only five left, and after a while, one person bought three in one go, and now there are only two left in the stall, seeing that there are only two lanterns left in the field, one of them wants to buy the remaining two lanterns, but Chen Xuan quoted 10,000 gold coins each.

Hearing this price, the crowd of onlookers who were originally about to move stopped, not because they didn't want to buy it, but because the price given by Chen Xuan was too expensive, who would spend a high price to buy a lantern, and then they couldn't eat it when they bought it.

10,000 gold coins is an astronomical amount for an ordinary family, and besides, even if you spend 10,000 gold coins to buy a lantern, what is the use? Obviously, this lantern is not worth 10,000 gold coins.

The scene was a little deserted, and some of the onlookers began to leave, but some were reluctant, because the remaining two lanterns were too beautiful, especially the tower-like lanterns, which kept changing colors between rotations, green, yellow, white, red, blue, and various colors kept changing, making people unable to move their feet.

Seeing many people leaving, Chen Xuan did not panic at all, he began to sit down and calculate how much money he had earned, five thousand gold coins for one lantern, and eight lanterns for sale, earning a total of forty thousand gold coins.

This morning, Chen Xuan came here to set up a stall with a rough mood, and he didn't know if the lanterns he made could be sold, but when he saw many people coming to watch, he knew that his worries were unnecessary.

After a long time, not a single lantern on the stall was sold, and there were more onlookers, among whom there were occasional asks, but Chen Xuan's asking price was too high and he gave up.

In the end, seeing that no one wanted to buy it, Chen Xuan had no choice but to lower his requirements and tell the story on the two lanterns.

There was no trace of panic on Chen Xuan's face.

Tonight's lantern festival will be all-night until tomorrow morning, and there is time.

Sure enough, after Chen Xuan finished telling two stories, a rich young master bought a lantern, and now only the last lantern remains.

Chen Xuan already had 50,000 gold coins in his arms, and for a poor boy like him, 50,000 gold coins was a huge amount of money, and after the last lantern was sold, there would be 60,000 gold coins.

When Chen Xuan was planning how to use the money, the stall owners of the other stalls were already jealous of his business, and they were envious in their hearts, especially when the last two lanterns were sold for 10,000 gold coins, which aroused their jealousy even more.

Chen Xuan's booming business attracted the dissatisfaction of several hooligans, who were frequent visitors here, and often made a living by collecting stall fees here, that is, protection fees, and sometimes working for the rich and noble, and it was good to earn four or five gold coins.

Thinking that he had only earned five gold coins after working hard and hard, and Chen Xuan had only earned tens of thousands of gold coins from ten broken lanterns in a few hours, those gold coins were enough for them to spend several years, and when they thought of this, they suddenly felt a little unhappy.

A fierce bald man, with a naked upper body.

It is said that this big man has fought with demon beasts, and on his chest is the trace left by the battle with demon beasts, and he is also the number one person on Fugui Street.

Zhuang Baojun, nicknamed Zhuang Hu.

He took two followers and stood by and stared at Chen Xuan for several hours, seeing that he sold nine of his ten lanterns and only one was left, once he sold the last lantern, he would have to leave, and it would be crowded at that time, and it would be difficult to find him.

The three of them glanced at each other, knowing what they were going to do, and they pushed away the crowd of onlookers and walked towards Chen Xuan's stall.

"Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, and the Hound Dog Gang will charge for it again, if you don't give it the consequences, you will bear the consequences. Zhuang Hu violently pushed away the old man standing in front of him, and the old man was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.

Seeing Zhuang Hu coming over, everyone consciously moved out of the way, and the stall that was surrounded by water at first was now vacant.

"It's the bully again. ”

"Now the little brother is going to suffer, I hope the little brother is smarter, and he won't get along with Zhuang Hu for money. ”

"This Zhuang Hu has done so many hurtful things, why does God still let him live. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, Zhuang Hu heard that someone was talking about him, and then moved his eyes to a few people, feeling Zhuang Hu's gaze, those people didn't say anything, turned around and hid in the crowd, and changed to someone who usually dared to say him to his face, he would definitely be pulled out and beaten, but now at that time, the big fish in front of him is his dish.
