In the afternoon.

Dragon Gate Inn, in the hall.

Because this place was chartered, naturally, only the inn service staff and Wang Chen's people remained.

And Wang Chen belongs to the founder of Zhengwupin, and the officials and wealthy squires of Chuzhou have direct reasons to come to visit. For example, in ancient times, when someone went to high school as a jinshi, there was a reason why there were immediately more "friends".

Having an identity and not having an identity are two different things entirely.

People who have no identity don't say that someone takes the initiative to ask to see, if they are poor, they run to other cities, even if they have relatives, they may not hide from them.

In the hall, the officials and squires of Chuzhou were more or less acquainted and chatting.

"Why hasn't Bu Zhouzi come out yet?"

"What's the hurry, people have just arrived here, and they always have to rest after a long journey. ”

"Well, don't worry, I'm just curious about things that can record the hour, what is it, can also record the hour?"

"The armillary sphere is expensive, even if we have a little money, we are reluctant to build it, and it is too cumbersome, and the way of measuring the time is very complicated, and no one will use it if we build it. ”

"Eh, it seems that Buzhouzi has come out!"

When everyone heard the voice, they saw a young man in his twenties coming down the stairs in high spirits.

Wang Chen saw at a glance that there were thirty or forty people present, all of them were wearing silk and satin, and at first glance they were rich and powerful people, he went down the stairs, smiled and arched his hand to everyone, and said in Wu language: "Under Wang Chen, I have seen you." ”

"I've seen Buzhouzi. ”

"Haha, how can you claim to be below?

Several people also answered in Wu.

There are also some people who use Jianghuai official dialect, which Wang Chen can't understand.

Fortunately, Mr. Ma, a staff member of Zhu Zhixian who followed next to him, understood it, and he translated them one by one.

After the pleasantries.

Mr. Ma clarified the identities of everyone he learned about them one by one with Wang Chen.

Wang Zhizhou, who is in his forties, is Chen Tongju, and there is a fat man in his fifties, Chen Yuanwai, a local tycoon.

In addition, there are many squires and wealthy people, such as Yang Yuanwai, Xu Zhixian and so on.

After everyone got acquainted, they chatted casually.

It's nothing more than praising each other, the ancients, there is a hobby in this area, especially a scholar, what kind of brother you are awesome, no, no, no, or brother Ren, you are more awesome, roughly something like that.

Two tea times have passed.

Yang Yuanwai said curiously: "I heard that Bu Zhouzi has a treasure that records the hour, but is there such a thing?"

Finally asked the topic, Wang Chen, who was sitting at the main table drinking tea, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Yes, there are two treasures that record time." ”

"What are the two things?" Wang Zhizhou asked.

Wang Chen didn't speak, clapping his hands.

Zhang Qing brought a table clock, Xu Jiang put the watch on the table, and Li Xiao brought five bottles of Liushen Flower Water on the wooden tray.

Wang Chen introduced: "One is a table clock, and the other is a watch. ”

Chen Tong was puzzled: "What is a table clock, and what is a watch?"

Twenty or thirty people looked at it together, wanting to hear Wang Chen's explanation.

This time, the table clock brought by Wang Chen was in the nature of a pendulum clock, and it took 1657 to really invent the pendulum clock, which is still far away.

He roughly explained the table clock, the large hand turns a grid represents half an hour, and the small hand turns a grid for how much time, and the explanation is very detailed.

When the crowd heard this, they all exclaimed.

"Accurate to every breath?"

"It's a good thing, if you keep it at home, you can know the time anytime and anywhere. ”

"Such a precious thing, only Wang Ji can have, alas, it's a pity that we can only witness the treasure, but can't get it, it's a pity. ”

These dignitaries, squires, and rich men looked at the clock with extremely hot eyes.

Wang Chen deliberately didn't know, and continued to introduce: "As for the watch, in fact, the principle is similar to that of a table clock, but it is more convenient, and it can be worn on the hand and observe the time at any time. He raised the Rolex watch in his hand of more than 500,000 yuan, and continued to introduce the mechanical watch on the table for more than 100 yuan, "The time on this watch is one o'clock, which is probably equivalent to the beginning of the time." ”

Chen Yuanwai was amazed and said, "You can observe the time by wearing it on your wrist?"

"Not bad. Wang Chen nodded.

The crowd began to whisper.

"It's amazing. ”

"It's so small, but it knows the time at all times, baby. ”

"I can't bear to see it, if Buzhouzi is willing to sell, I will be willing to sell a thousand taels of gold. ”

"One thousand taels of gold? Do you think Buzhouzi will be short of money? As far as I know, our Chuzhou Wang Ji can earn more than 30,000 yuan a month. ”

Wang Chen still didn't hear it.

He went on to introduce the toilet water, "Look at these five glass bottles. ”

Everyone was attracted by the clock and watch before, and they didn't notice the flower water at all, but now when they heard Wang Chen talk about it, everyone looked over.

It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, Gu is showing a greedy look.

Yang Yuanwai exclaimed: "Such transparent glass is really rare!"

Xu Zhixian also swallowed, "Good baby! Good baby!"

Wang Chen smiled, "Do you really think that the glass bottle is a treasure?"

Chen Tong was puzzled: "Why did Bu Zhouzi say this?"

Others also don't understand, how precious is the high transparent glass, what is not a treasure?

Wang Chen did not sell it, explaining: "The real treasure is the water in the glass bottle, which is called flower water." ”

"Flower water?" Wang Zhizhou wondered, "What is that?"

Wang Chen said carefully: "Flower water is a kind of baby used to remove sweat and filth after bathing, and if it is bitten by mosquitoes, it has the effect of relieving itching and swelling by applying a little, in addition, if it is a child at home who has prickly heat, flower water can also stop itching, and will make people feel cool and comfortable, and it will be very fragrant when applied to the body." ”

The ancients were very blind in their pursuit of aroma.

Their first reaction after listening to it was not to stop the itch, but to think that it could leave a fragrance, and their eyes lit up.

"It smells good on your body?"

"No wonder it's in a precious glass bottle. ”

"Bu Zhouzi, you have five bottles of toilet water, or ...... Ahem, the old man has a reluctant request, and hopes that Bu Zhouzi can transfer a bottle of toilet water, and the price is negotiable. ”

Before I had time to say that I was selling, someone took the initiative to ask for it?

Wang Chen was happy in his heart, in fact, he knew in his heart that this group of people came to see him was fake, and it was true that they came to watch the baby, otherwise a big guy like Wang Zhizhou would come in person?

Something impossible!

I have to say that Liu Qihong's idea is very good.

Of course, if it were in troubled times, Wang Chen would definitely not adopt this opinion, because there would be more or less green forest heroes on the road, and if the things with treasures on his body were spread, it would attract people to covet them, but the Northern Song Dynasty had just been unified, and the public security in the territory was temporarily good.

The combat effectiveness of the regular army in ancient times was still very impressive.

Most of the armies of peasant uprisings are rabble, and sometimes the 350,000 peasant army cannot defeat one or two thousand regular troops, so you can imagine how low the combat effectiveness is.

And the combat effectiveness of the heroes in the green forest is also limited, it is okay to bully and bully the merchants, if you really want to face the regular army head-on, you can only describe it in one sentence - the old birthday star is tired of eating arsenic.

Looking at Chen Yuanwai, who made the request, Wang Chen smiled and said, "It's not impossible to transfer, but I don't want money." ”

Previously, Chen Yuanwai just made a request with the mentality of trying it out, but he didn't expect Wang Chen to really agree, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "What do you want about Buzhouzi?"

"Bartering. Wang Chen pretended to be very serious and said: "I like all kinds of gems and precious stones, of course, precious medicinal materials are also liked, like any hundred-year-old ginseng, thousand-year-old ginseng can be accepted, if you have the same value of gems and jades or precious medicinal materials, I may not be able to exchange the clock, watch and toilet water." ”

As soon as this remark came out, there was a hula, and the audience was fried!

"What?"

"Would you like to exchange a table clock and a watch?"

"Really, if that's the case, the old man will have to change the clock!"

"Bu Zhouzi, what is the price of the grandfather clock?"

"Yes, tell me quickly, I have a few pieces of good jade at home, and I am willing to exchange them with you. ”

A few people were scratching their ears and cheeks anxiously, eager to exchange immediately.

Grandfather clocks, watches, and toilet water are amazing to them.

Including Wang Zhizhou and Chen Tongju, the two bigwigs are the same, but they are more cultivated, and they don't shout out as quickly as everyone else, but their eyes are all staring at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen quoted straightforwardly: "Five hundred taels of gold for the table clock, three hundred taels of gold for the watch, and two hundred taels of gold for each bottle of toilet water, if any of you can come up with gems and precious medicinal materials of the same value, these three things can be picked at will!"

The cheapest two hundred taels of gold?

The most expensive is as high as 500 taels of gold!

According to the comparison of the purchasing power of modern times and the Northern Song Dynasty, the grandfather clock costs almost five million, and the toilet water costs two million.

But this is the Northern Song Dynasty!

Whether it is a table clock or watch, or flower water, they are all precious things in the eyes of everyone, and hundreds of taels of gold are expensive, but everyone present has a lot of money, and they really don't care about that.

To put it mildly, each of them has the strength to eat them all.

It's just that Wang Chen doesn't want money, as long as gems, precious jades or precious medicinal materials, it makes them feel a little difficult.

The gemstone treasure jade worth 500 taels of gold is rare in the world.

Not to mention the medicinal materials, no matter how precious the medicinal materials are, they can be sold for hundreds of taels of gold? Unless it is really a thousand-year-old ginseng as Wang Chen said.

Wang Chen was not in a hurry, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

A few wealthy squires reminisced, and were about to get up and say that they would go home and get something to exchange.

Suddenly, Chen Yuanwai stood up and arched his hand to everyone, and said with a smile: "The old man of the clock wants it." As he spoke, he untied a cyan cloth bag from his waist and handed it to Wang Chen, "There is a colorful relic in it, Bu Zhouzi will see if it is worth five hundred taels of gold?"

What the?

Colorful relics?

You're not kidding, are you?

Wang Chen was a little stunned when he heard it, the relics are a peerless treasure that can be met at any time, and some people even build a building for the relics to treasure, but you can imagine how precious it is, and now Chen Yuanwai actually has a colorful relic, and he has to exchange it for his grandfather clock?
