Chapter 3 Large-scale procurement

Wang Xuan has been busy for more than a month, and the number of times he has gone out in this month is really pitiful.

But today he had to go out, not for anything else, because he didn't have anything to eat at home.

And he doesn't have much money in his hand now, and if he doesn't go out, he can only wait at home to die.

So early this morning, Wang Xuan got up early, cleaned up, and stepped out of the door that had not been opened for a long time.

Stepping out of the door, Wang Xuan was not in a hurry to buy, nor was he in a hurry to find a job, but walked around Yongyang Fang.

After all, whether it was buying a house or going out to buy before, Wang Xuan was in a hurry, and he didn't take a good look at the entire Yongyang Fang.

Walking on the bluestone road on the main street of Yongyangfang, looking at the crowd of people who got up early and went out to work, Wang Xuan wanted to come forward to say hello, but seeing that they all looked like they were resisting and dodging, Wang Xuan suddenly lost that thought, and turned around in Yongyangfang by himself.

This turn really made Wang Xuan understand a lot of things.

If you want to say that this Yongyang Fang is a Fang! It's really not qualified, because the population of Yongyangfang is so small, and it's a bit far-fetched to say that it's a village.

And Wang Xuan also found that in addition to the houses on both sides of the main street, many houses in Yongyang Fang are open, and they look like they have been uninhabited for a long time.

This discovery, Wang Xuan was a little secretly annoyed, the house was expensive.

This is actually not, but Wang Xuan doesn't know that although those houses are uninhabited, their land deeds are all in the yamen.

And people who come to Chang'an for the first time want to buy a house like that, not to mention the cumbersome procedures, you may not be able to buy it if you don't have some connections.

Even if you go to the West Market to find a tooth dealer to come forward to buy, not to mention anything else, the money given to the tooth dealer alone is not a small amount.

Therefore, if you want to buy a house, it is most cost-effective to buy directly with the homeowner.

But Wang Xuan didn't know about these, so looking at the uninhabited house, Wang Xuan secretly regretted it.

"Boy Xuan, you haven't been out for more than a month, why is it rare to go out today" Uncle Liu saw Wang Xuan hanging out there from afar, so he shouted at Wang Xuan.

"Lord Fang Zheng is good, don't hide from Lord Fang Zheng, the little one is going to go out to buy food, but when he goes out, he remembers, the little one came to the Fang for more than a month, and he hasn't looked at the furnishings in the Fang for a long time, and visited the neighbors, so he went around" Hearing Fang Zheng Uncle Liu call himself, Wang Xuan hurriedly ran over, and after saluting him, he showed his behavior.

Listening to Wang Xuan's well-organized and well-behaved appearance, Uncle Liu couldn't help but glance at Wang Xuan, and thought that Wang Xuan must have read before.

"What is the master of the fang is not the master of the fang, the old man looks at you well, and since you have settled in Yongyang Fang, it is the neighborhood, if you don't dislike it, just call the old man Uncle Liu, you can see it" Uncle Liu, who had subjective assumptions in his heart, waved his hand at Wang Xuan and said to him.

"You said so, of course the kid is disrespectful, the little nephew Wang Xuan has seen Uncle Liu" Wang Xuan heard that there was such a good thing, so how could he let it go, and immediately put on a posture of a nephew to meet the elders, and Uncle Liu was a bow to Chongfangzheng.

"Okay, good, good, come up, kid Xuan" Seeing Wang Xuan's worship, Uncle Liu was overjoyed in his heart, and smiled and convinced Wang Xuan.

Later, because of this relationship, the two chatted quite speculatively.

Wang Xuan heard a lot of things he wanted to know from Uncle Liu, such as that individuals can't set up stalls in the fang to sell things, but if Fang Zheng agrees to sell some food, it's still okay, but the monthly money is also a lot, asking for twenty wen.

Don't look at it, it's just 20 yuan, it's really not a small amount of money in the early Tang Dynasty, you must know that the price of grain in the early Tang Dynasty is only four or five wen a liter, and a liter is almost a kilogram, and 20 wen is four kilograms of grain.

Four kilograms of food, a family of five, save a little to eat for half a month, so who thinks that twenty dollars is less.

So when Wang Xuan inquired about this like Uncle Liu, he was clever and understood Wang Xuan's thoughts, and immediately persuaded Wang Xuan, "Xuan boy, listen to Uncle Xuan's words, if you really have this skill, then go to the West Market to find an errand, or do it yourself, in our workshop, you can't do it even if you have great ability, there are too few people in our workshop."

"Uncle, don't worry, the kid knows it in his heart, what, uncle, you see that it's not early, the kid still has to buy some belongings, so I won't talk to you, wait for the kid to come back later, and visit the door" After speaking, Wang Xuan got up and said goodbye to Uncle Liu, and left quickly.

"This kid, why don't you listen to persuasion! It seems that I can only wait for the evening to talk to him and say" Looking at Wang Xuan who was walking away, Uncle Liu muttered to himself.

Wang Xuan, who left, because he had the news from Fangzheng, he quickly went to Xishi, where he bought a stone mill, a few clay pots for cooking and eating, and a stone of soybeans, and hired someone to send everything back to Yongyangfang.

Then he asked around and went to a pharmacy.

"This guest officer, what medicine do you want to catch, is there a prescription, it's not me who said, our Yonghetang medicine, not to mention the most complete in Chang'an, but it is also one of the best" As soon as Wang Xuan entered the pharmacy, the shopkeeper asked Wang Xuan enthusiastically and introduced it.

"Hello shopkeeper, the kid wants to buy some wormwood, I don't know how much you are worth" Wang Xuan politely listened to the shopkeeper's words, and asked the shopkeeper with a smile.

"Little brother, you have come to the right place, I won't tell you, I just entered a stone of wormwood two days ago, how much do you want, I'll get it for you, the price is good, it's a pound of three pennies" The shopkeeper looked at Wang Xuan after speaking.

"Shopkeeper, your price is a bit high, this wormwood is not a precious thing, and I want a large amount, you see ......" Wang Xuan paused, and did not say that the price of the shopkeeper would be reduced, but looked at him with a smile.

Sure enough, when the shopkeeper heard Wang Xuan's words, he was immediately overjoyed, and after thinking about it, he quoted a price to Wang Xuan, "Little brother expert, that brother won't earn you, as long as your amount exceeds half a stone, you can take it away, this is interesting enough."

"The shopkeeper, let's not say anything else, I want all the stones, the price is a penny and a catty, you nod, don't become a kid and leave" Seeing the shopkeeper give the price, Wang Xuan smiled on his face, and said to the shopkeeper very domineeringly.

After saying that, he was still a shopkeeper, and if he didn't agree, he immediately left the posture.

The shopkeeper saw that the fat sheep in his hand was leaving, and when he thought that his wormwood was collected for 60 Wen, and now it has doubled, he immediately stopped Wang Xuan, "Little brother go slowly, Cheng, according to the price you said, one penny and one catty"

Hearing the shopkeeper's consent, Wang Xuan was also refreshed, took out the money, gave the money directly, and then left an address for the shopkeeper to send to him.

After that, Wang Xuan bought a push of herbs, fruits, star anise and other medicinal materials from the store, and asked the shopkeeper to send them together, and then left Yonghetang.
