Chapter 053: Musk (Thanks to Hanyun Alliance Leader!)
The smell stinks.
Not far away, Wang Yuncang, Jobs, Ji Wuniang and more than a dozen people hurriedly covered their noses and looked at them with disgust.
Wang Chen couldn't help pinching his nose, he didn't speak, he didn't understand, he wanted to ask, maybe he would let someone be a "Kaizi" slaughter, so he simply let Liu Qihong communicate with the big man.
Liu Qihong liked this thing very much, she didn't like the smell at all, she reached out and took it in her hand, and sniffed it closely, and after half a sound, she slowly put it down, looked at the big man with curiosity, and asked, "I remember if there is anything near this thing, how did you get it?"
"It wasn't stolen. Dahan's first reaction was to show his innocence.
Liu Qihong said: "I didn't say you stole it, ask." ”
Dahan explained: "This thing was found by me and a few brothers when we were hunting in Dabie Mountain on Jingxi Road. ”
Liu Qihong didn't let him go, and said with blazing eyes: "I heard that your accent is a local, why did you go hunting in Dabie Mountain, thousands of miles away?"
Yes.
Dabie Mountain is in the AH boundary, six or seven hundred kilometers away from Tongzhou.
Hearing this, Wang Chen was also puzzled, looked at Dahan and waited for an explanation, but he couldn't help but appreciate the thoughtfulness of Miss Qihong, if it was herself, I am afraid that she would receive things directly, and she would not ask the source at all, if this thing was stolen, there would be a lot of trouble if the bitter master chased after her in the future.
"It's true that I'm from Tongzhou. "Dahan 1510 comes:" In the early years, I followed my brother to Jingxi Road to do business, after meeting gangsters, was robbed of goods, owed a butt of debts, had no choice but to hide in Jingxi Road to make a living, my brother had read books, to people as a bookkeeper, I have a body of strength, first to people as coolies, after the suspicion of earning less, I happened to hear that someone hunted a wild boy to earn three money, suddenly a whim, rather than do coolies to get two pieces of money a month, it is better to go hunting, then with seven or eight people, day and night busy in Dabie Mountain, fought a big worm, hunted a big shit, two or three years also earned two or three hundred money, the ability to repay the debt, and my brother discussed back to Tongzhou, this thing is hunted before returning, I know precious, I want to keep it in the future to marry my daughter-in-law as a dowry. ”
Damn, you're fierce enough.
Wang Chen was a little stunned when he heard it, the big insect is the tiger, the big worm is the ancient name of the brown bear, the top ten most fierce beasts on the earth, you actually killed two of them?
Liu Qihong didn't let go of the big man, and asked again: "Since you want to keep it as a dowry, why do you want to sell it now?"
The big man smiled bitterly and said, "Helpless, helpless." He sighed, "A few days ago, my brother had a fever, and his whole body was hot, and I invited more than a dozen Lang Zhong who were not optimistic, and we have spent about the same amount of savings over the years, so I really have no choice but to sell valuable items, this thing...... This thing...... Alas. ”
That's right.
It turned out that the elder brother of the big man had a high fever and did not go away, and the money was spent, so he came out to sell it when he had no choice.
Colds and fevers are common in modern society, but in ancient times it was possible to kill people!
Because there was no penicillin in ancient times, the fever was infected, and it was not handled well, so I really had to wait for death.
Wang Chen was a little sympathetic to Dahan, and there were antibiotics in the first aid kit in the mysterious space, but he was not sure what caused the fever of Dahan's brother, whether he would be allergic to penicillin, and besides, he had no obligation, so he simply didn't say anything.
"I wish your brother a speedy recovery. Liu Qihong showed sympathy, and then said, "How much do you want to sell?"
The big man pointed outside, "I asked a few pharmacies, they were willing to pay twenty taels of silver, I was afraid that it would not be enough to treat my brother, so I didn't agree, I happened to see you buying precious medicinal materials at a high price here, so I came to the door." He hesitated, "Thirty taels, thirty taels of silver, I will sell it." ”
"Even if it is an emergency, I will pay fifty taels of silver to buy you this thing. Liu Qihong was obviously moved by compassion, and looked at Wang Chen after speaking, "Wang Gongzi, you can give him thirty taels, and I will come out with the remaining twenty taels, okay?"
Wang Chen didn't know what it was, but Liu Qihong sat in the hall to collect medicinal materials for himself, even if he raised twenty taels of silver privately, he was embarrassed to let people out, so he said without hesitation: "Miss Qihong, no, no, I'll pay fifty taels." ”
Liu Qihong said seriously: "I'll come out, he originally only wanted three ......"
Wang Chen interrupted and said resolutely: "You don't need to say much, I will come out if I say it." ”
Seeing him so insistent, Liu Qihong didn't say anything more.
However, the big man was moved to tears, and bowed deeply to the two, "Thank you for your great kindness, Xiao...... Xiao kept it in mind, and he will definitely repay it one day. ”
"It's fine. Wang Chen waved his hand and called Wang Yuncang to pay fifty taels of silver.
People's brother is sick and waiting for money, he can't do anything to take advantage of people's danger, and twenty taels of "game currency" is nothing to him, so he should accumulate good deeds.
Dahan received the money and thanked him before leaving.
As soon as the people left, Wang Chen couldn't wait to ask, "Miss Qihong, what is this?"
Before Liu Qihong could speak, the maid Yun'er smiled stupidly: "The son doesn't even know the fragrant navel?"
"Yun'er!" Liu Qihong frowned, and when she saw Yun'er sticking out her tongue and not speaking, she introduced: "This is musk, it smells bad when it dries, and it will be fragrant when soaked in water or wine." ”
Yes?
Is this musk?
Wang Chen was taken aback, for modern people, musk is actually no stranger, it can be synthesized artificially, the price is not expensive, one gram is about a dozen yuan to dozens of yuan, but natural musk is different, rumors range from a few hundred yuan to hundreds of thousands of one grams.
Why is the price difference so big?
Because natural musk is divided into captive musk and wild musk.
The market price of artificially cultivated musk is about 400 to 751 grams, and the price of expensive musk is 1 or 2,000, like Tong Ren Tang, which is sold at 8,901 grams.
Artificially cultivated ones are so expensive, but what about wild musk?
In fact, Wang Chen didn't know that there were any prices in the news reports, ranging from 56,000 to 50,000, 80,000 or even 300,000 grams, and he didn't know which one was true.
The main thing is that there is no market, and the state prohibits the hunting of musk deer.
Therefore, Wang Chen really didn't know how much the lump of musk in front of him was worth.
The only thing he knew was that it would definitely not be a loss to buy this ball of musk for fifty taels!
After the introduction, Liu Qihong owed, "Wang Gongzi, I will leave first and come back tomorrow." ”
"I may not be there tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Wang Chen said casually.
Liu Qihong's eyes showed a look of disappointment, but he still said in his mouth: "Whether you are or not, since the concubine has promised to sit in the hall for you to receive medicinal materials, she will definitely keep her promise." ”
After saying that, she left with Yun'er.
Only his own people were left in the shop.
Wang Chen carefully put away the idea, then looked up at Wang Yuncang, and said, "Brother Yuncang, I want to replenish the stock in the past two days, and I may leave for a few days, you are looking at the shop." ”
"Yes, yes. "Wang Yuncang is used to it.
Xu Jiang patted his ass and said, "Family master, do you need us to accompany you?"
"No, no, no. Wang Chen just wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of two things, and ordered: "By the way, rent me a bigger house as a warehouse, and in addition, take advantage of the lack of goods in the shop in the past two days, and then give me a single room to come out, I will be useful." ”
Wang Yuncang asked, "How big is the gap?"
Wang Chen gestured, about thirty flats, "It's so big, remember to ask the carpenter to make a counter and a few shelves." ”
"Hey, don't worry, go restock. Wang Yuncang should take it down.
After a few times, Wang Chen was still very relieved about Wang Yuncang's work, didn't say anything, walked outside, thinking about going back to get some equipment, and by the way, check the market price of natural bezoar and wild musk, and strive to sell it at a good price when Sister Mei is auctioned on the black market.
