"Yes, how many such hedrons do you need?"

"Twenty gold coins."

"So expensive?" Qian Xiaodao was taken aback by the price offered by the old man.

"Expensive? The market outside costs at least twenty-two gold coins! The old man glanced at Qian Xiaodao angrily.

"Excuse me, is there a cheaper hedron?"

"The cheapest hedron fifteen gold coins each." The old man's eyes were disdainful.

If the money is not enough, Qian Xiaodao can only turn around and leave. Leaving the magic item sales office, Qian Xiaodao walked towards the outside of the academy, he wanted to take a look at the market.

After being pointed out by others, Qian Xiaodao easily found the largest comprehensive market in the imperial capital. There are a wide variety of goods here, and many never-before-seen items fill Qian Xiaodao's sharp eyes. As he walked through the slave market, Qian Xiaodao's eyes lingered on several almost half-naked female slaves for a few seconds, but his footsteps did not stop.

However, when Qian Xiaodao found a market specializing in selling magic items, he reluctantly found that the prices here were indeed more expensive than those in the academy.

"Whew." At the gate of the market, Qian Xiaodao let out a long breath, and when he was about to leave the market, he was stopped by a rat man who looked about the same as him. The rat man bent over, his face full of flattery: "This big brother, you see that your shoes are covered with dust, do you want me to wipe them?" ”

"No need." Qian Xiaodao was about to leave, but the rat man had no intention of letting him go, and stretched out his hand to stop Qian Xiaodao.

"What do you want to do?" Qian Xiaodao was a little impatient.

"Hehe, since you don't want to take out the money comfortably, then brother, I can only rob it." As he spoke, the nezumi snapped his fingers, and in a short time, more than a dozen nezumi walked out from all corners and soon surrounded Qian Xiaodao.

"Hmph, just with you rotten shrimp and rotten bird eggs?" As soon as the words fell, Qian Xiaodao's fist had already hit the rat man in front of him. Before the rat man could see how Qian Xiaodao could punch, he was beaten back several steps by Qian Xiaodao, and a nosebleed flowed down from his slender nose.

"Damn, give it to me!"

With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen nezumi immediately swarmed up. However, Qian Xiaodao's fist did not greet all around, but fell on the face and body of the rat man in front of him one after another. No matter how the nezumi dodged and retreated, Qian Xiaodao's fist always hit the nezumi body accurately. Seeing that Qian Xiaodao was so fierce, those rat men didn't dare to step forward for a while, and watched the boss being beaten by Qian Xiaodao.

"Stop!" The rat man was beaten by Qian Xiaodao all over his body, his nose was crooked, his mouth was swollen like biting half a steamed bun, his eyes were slightly half-closed, and the severe pain made the rat man inhale cold air. The rat man pointed at Qian Xiaodao and yelled: "Why do you keep beating me!" ”

"What do you say?" Qian Xiaodao stepped forward and grabbed the rat man's collar and lifted him up.

"Big, big brother, I was wrong, I bastard, I damn it! I won't dare to fight your idea again, please go around me! The rat man cried with snot and tears, and his expression was as miserable as he was, just like a bride who was by dozens of big men and women, "This, this is the money I got from shining my shoes, I'll give you all the money, please let me go, if I continue to fight, I'm going to die." For the sake of our kind, you'll get around me this time. ”

Seeing that Qian Xiaodao still had the intention of making a move, the rat man hurriedly took out two silver coins from his pocket and handed them to Qian Xiaodao.

Qian Xiaodao unceremoniously took the silver coin, threw the nezumi aside, and looked at the nezumi condescendingly: "Are you sure that these two silver coins are really the income of your labor, and not using other means?" ”

"I swear, I swear to God that this money is the result of my labor!"

Qian Xiaodao's brows furrowed slightly, and when he looked around, he found that most of the shoes of the foot merchants in the market were bright white and as new, and it was obvious that their shoes had been wiped down.

"Why, is it popular to shine shoes?" Qian Xiaodao stared at the rat man in front of him and said.

"The emperor issued a decree that all merchants must wipe their shoes clean when they enter the city, and they must not bring dirt from outside into the imperial city. Moreover, leather shoes have become popular in the Imperial City recently, and many nobles have worn shoes made of various beasts and monster skins to show off everywhere. ”

Hearing this, Qian Xiaodao's eyes suddenly lit up, and then a brilliant idea immediately came to mind. I remember that in that world, there was a multimillionaire who made his fortune by shining shoes, and his shoeshine pricing method was so unique that customers rushed to the market, so that hundreds of chain stores were opened across the country.

Seeing that Qian Xiaodao's eyes kept flickering, the rat man was so frightened that all seven souls and six spirits came out. When he was about to escape, Qian Xiaodao suddenly grabbed him by the collar and whispered in his ear: "I have a plan to make a fortune here, are you interested?" ”

"My lord, I don't dare."

"If you don't dare, you have to do it, pack up your guy, and come with me." Under the coercion and coercion of Qian Xiaodao, the rat man Zhang Xiaowu finally bowed his head and followed Qian Xiaodao into the middle city, which was the residence of nobles and big businessmen, and high-end consumption places could be seen everywhere. After some preparations, Qian Xiaodao and Zhang Xiaowu set up two wooden signs in a prime location about ten meters away from Fengyue Tower, and set up stalls to shine shoes.

I saw that the wooden sign on the left reads: "Shoe shine, according to the value of the shoes of the old men and gentlemen, charge different fees, usually charge 1% of the value of the shoes themselves." ”

Then there is the wooden sign on the right: "Worth less than 1 gold coin, charge 1 silver coin; 100 gold, 1 gold; 1000 coins, 10 coins, and so on. ”

The appearance of these two wooden cards immediately attracted a lot of interest, but due to the high fees, many people just gathered around to watch.

"Boy, look at how much my shoes are worth?"

At this time, a fat and fat aristocratic lord raised his feet on the shoeshine board, looking at Qian Xiaodao and Zhang Xiaowu with a proud face.

Zhang Xiaowu was in charge of shining shoes, while Qian Xiaodao was in charge of collecting money and entertaining. He glanced at the shoes of the noble lord, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "This lord, your shoes are made of the skin of the Carola swamp in the western part of the Southern Song Empire?" ”

This is all Qian Xiaodao's nonsense, the Southern Song Empire did not have a swamp called Corolla at all, but this is the imperial city of the Northern Wei Empire, and those aristocratic lords who only know how to play with girls and drink flower wine will not put their minds on the geography of the mainland.

The aristocratic lord was very satisfied with the rich expression on Qian Xiaodao's face, and nodded proudly.

"Heck, your shoes are worth at least 350 gold coins."

"Hmph, you are still knowledgeable, there are four gold coins here, you don't need to look for them."

Hehe, four gold coins have been credited.
