Chapter 5: Two Teenagers
Although the price is not as high as imagined, it is not outrageous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Zhou Ning nodded with satisfaction and said, "Deal." ā
"Childe is really cheerful." The middle-aged man also smiled happily, and immediately ordered the man to take a gold ingot and a few ingots of silver, and handed them to Zhou Ning.
"Here are five hundred taels of silver, and the son will collect it."
Zhou Ning smiled at him, put the money in his arms, and then took out a plastic jar from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "Then bother Mr. to appraise how much this thing is worth." ā
"Hey, the texture of this box is a bit special."
The middle-aged man took the plastic jar, opened it cautiously, saw a jar of glass beads, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help blurting out: "What a beautiful glass bead." Tsk, what's even more rare is that there are no impurities yet. ā
After a little hesitation, he said: "This thing is very extraordinary, Jin Yulou is willing to pay five thousand taels of silver to buy this thing." ā
Zhou Ning was a little surprised in his heart, he already knew that glass was very precious in ancient times, and Li Kang in the Tang Dynasty also recorded the story of the richest man in the Kaiyuan Dynasty in "Du Yi Zhi", but he never thought that this box of glass beads bought for five yuan in modern times would be so valuable.
At the moment, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Deal." ā
As soon as Zhou Ning's words fell, he keenly noticed that the middle-aged man surnamed Shen was obviously relieved. I can't help but feel that the value of this box of glass beads is obviously far more than this price. However, he also deeply understands that only a win-win situation can make business last for a long time, not to mention, this box of glass beads is not worth anything to him.
After the deal was finalized, the middle-aged man surnamed Shen was in a very good mood, and he also had a good impression of Zhou Ning, thinking that although this young man had poor taste in clothes, he had a bold personality and was gentle and elegant, and he was a person who could be friends.
The two sides informed each other of their names. Only then did Zhou Ning learn that the middle-aged man's name was Shen Tiansong, who was said to be a side branch of the Shen family of the Wulin Clan, and was the shopkeeper of the Golden Jade Building.
"The Shen family of the golden needle seems to be a little familiar......"
Zhou Ning muttered in his heart, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember where he had seen this name.
When Xiao Er went to get the silver, the two chatted a few words, and the deed was unusual, Zhou Ning's heart moved, and he pointed to the big man who was still panting there not far away, and asked tentatively: "Brother Shen, look at the man opposite, how is his martial arts?" ā
Shen Tiansong glanced at the big man, and said lightly: "The footsteps are vain, the foundation is unstable, there are many flaws between the fists, at most it is just a yellow-level martial artist who has just started, Zhou Jun does not understand martial arts, if he has the opportunity to see the masters fighting, he will know that this kind of fist embroidered legs is really not worth mentioning." ā
What, that big man who can play explosive special effects is actually just a yellow-level martial artist who has just started?
Zhou Ning was a little confused, although he didn't know the hierarchy of this world, but he always understood it when he first started, so the question is, he is so powerful when he first starts, what kind of real master is it, could it be - can he blow up a mountain with one punch?!
It's scary to think about......
Zhou Ning was still pondering, and Shen Tiansong said again: "What, Zhou Jun is also interested in the way of martial arts?" ā
Zhou Ning was interrupted by his question, nodded, and said, "That's nature." ā
Shen Tiansong glanced Zhou Ning up and down, and sighed: "Zhou Jun's bones are good, but it's a pity that he owes a little luck." ā
"Luck?"
Shen Tiansong said hesitantly: "It's luck." Anyone who wants to become an outstanding master must start from childhood, and every person who wants to learn anything to be handy, the most important period of time is within ten years from the age of five to fifteen, just like learning a language, after this period of time to learn, how can the pronunciation be incorrect. The same is true for martial arts, if you are just starting now, no matter how diligent you are, you will get twice the result with half the effort. ā
sighed, and said: "If Zhou Jun just wants to be a mediocre errand runner, then it is okay to practice some boxing." ā
Zhou Ning nodded slightly, he remembered that in the Legend of the Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Fu Cailin also had such a statement.
Shen Tiansong turned around, rummaged through the counter, took out a thin booklet from the stack of books, and said, "This is a boxing technique that I got by chance, and it is best to use it to practice martial arts and strengthen my body." ā
After a pause, he said: "I am very close to Zhou Jun, and this boxing method is ...... Sold to Zhou Jun, if Zhou Jun has any good things next time, don't forget Shen. ā
Zhou Ning couldn't cry or laugh a little, this guy was angry, and thought he was going to give it to himself, and asked, "How much does this cheats cost?"
Shen Tiansong said categorically: "One thousand taels of silver, no two prices." Xuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist, and said, "There are a few pills in this porcelain bottle that help condense qi, only five hundred taels." ā
Zhou Ning said angrily: "Deal." ā
Putting the porcelain vase and the cheats into his arms, Zhou Ning stood up again, walked around the Jinyu Building a few times, and spent a few hundred taels of silver to shoot a few pieces of calligraphy, paintings and porcelain.
Leaving only some broken silver, and replacing the remaining silver with a stack of gold leaves, Zhou Ning walked out of the Golden Jade Building with this income.
I was secretly excited in my heart, I don't know what kind of punch Shen Tiansong, a profiteer, will give him?
ā¦ā¦
Walking out of the market and coming to the street, Zhou Ning was crowded in the endless flow of people, surging forward with the crowd, and the corner not far in front of him was the most famous restaurant in Yangzhou.
Before he could travel back, he had to find a place to fill his stomach.
After a while, he struggled to squeeze through the crowd, determined his bearing, and walked towards the restaurant not far away.
At the moment when he walked out of the crowd, he was keenly aware that a hand had quietly reached into his arms, and the target was his wallet.
"Does Lao Tzu look like a fat sheep like that?"
Zhou Ning cursed in his heart, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the hand suddenly.
The owner of that hand obviously doesn't know any martial arts, he is a big-eared, heroic-looking young man, his clothes are patched up, extremely filthy, he was taken aback at the moment, desperately trying to break free, but was held down tightly by Zhou Ning.
"Let go of me, do you know who my boss is?"
Zhou Ning said: "I'm not interested in knowing who your boss is, I only know that you want to steal my money bag." ā
Another teenager squeezed out of the crowd, his clothes were even dirtier than the heroic boy, but his eyes were very smart, and he suddenly stretched out his hand to the sky: "Ha! You see! ā
Zhou Ning was indifferent and looked at him coldly.
The young man had nothing to do, and finally said dejectedly: "This time, the two of us have no eyes, if this big brother must be investigated, arrest me and go to the official!" ā
The heroic young man hurriedly said: "Why? ā
At this moment, a familiar figure walked across the street with generous steps, wearing a soap scarf, wearing soap blue clothes, carrying a long knife around his waist, and holding an apple in his hand while walking and gnawing.
Zhou Ning keenly felt that the bodies of the two teenagers beside him were tense, and he was shocked, looking at him with pleading eyes.
With a soft heart, he reached out and grabbed the hand of the heroic young man, and said, "Follow me." ā
The two teenagers followed Zhou Ning through the streets and alleys dejectedly, walked into the Hele Building across the street, and found a window seat to sit down.
"A la carte." Zhou Ning said.
The two didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhou Ning's gourd, they glanced at each other, hesitated, but still reached out to call Xiao Er and ordered a few dishes.
"One more pound of tripe, two pounds of sauce beef, can you two drink?" Zhou Ning saw that they were very restrained, ordered a few more dishes, and turned his head to ask the two.
The two looked at each other, and finally nodded fiercely, saying, "You can drink!" ā
When the food was served, the two seemed to be hungry, and when they saw something coming up, they shouted in unison and began to eat wildly.
Zhou Ning didn't compete with them, quietly poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it himself.
In these two teenagers, he saw his former self.
