Chapter 250: Changing Courgettes (2)
Shi Wannian, the lord of Yiwu City, lives in Honglu Temple, and tomorrow Li Er will invite him to watch a show called the Hundred Flowers Contest held by the people, although I don't know what this Hundred Flowers Contest is, but after inquiry, it seems to be a group of women competing for talents.
Since ancient times, there has been no king of bad beauties, as the king of Yiwu Seven Cities, the lord of Yiwu City, Shi Wannian naturally has a great desire to possess beauties, this time to the Tang Dynasty, the audience is the first priority, and the second is to make a lot of money, if you can get a beautiful woman back in this event, then this thing will be more perfect.
Just when Shi Wannian was immersed in the fantasy he had portrayed, there was news from his subordinates that someone was asking to see him.
"Who asks to see me?" Shi Wannian was a little puzzled, he didn't know anyone in Chang'an City, how could anyone think of seeing him.
"The person who came called himself Jia Yi, the viscount of Duqu County, said that he was here to do business with you."
Jia Yi's name has spread in the prairie and the entire Western Regions, the trade fair he presided over before, so that both sides of the transaction have obtained very big benefits, the name of the little God of Wealth is not only limited to Chang'an City, the people on the grassland are even more respectful of Jia Yi as the god who brings wealth, Shi Wannian actually wanted to know Jia Yi very early, but no one introduced him, and he really didn't have anything that Jia Yi could see, so he gave up, but he didn't expect Jia Yi to come in person.
"Please."
Soon Jia Yi came to Shi Wannian under the leadership of Shi Wannian, although Shi Wannian had never seen Jia Yi, but he had also heard the description of Jia Yi, with a thin body, a young age, a white face, and a weak scholar.
Seeing the young man standing in front of him, Shi Wannian immediately determined that this person was Jia Yi, and hurriedly smiled and said to the young man: "I have heard the name of the little God of Wealth for a long time, and I have intended to make friends for a long time, and I have the fate to meet today, it is really a fortunate thing for Shi, please take a seat." ”
In fact, it is not Jia Yi who stands in front of Shi Wannian, but Jia Yi's little follower Cui Zhuang, since Cui Zhuang wants to learn from Jia Yi, then now is a very good opportunity, on the way to Jia Yi, Jia has already told Cui Zhuang about the things that need to be paid attention to, it is the first lesson for him, as for how far Cui Zhuang can perform, it completely depends on his talent, if there is any mistake, Jia Yi will remind him in a timely manner.
Cui Zhuang has not really dealt with a person with a lot of status in person, it is false to say that he is not nervous, but he also knows that this is the biggest opportunity in his life, if he seizes it, then he will become a big celebrity in front of Jia Yi, if he can't catch it, there may be a chance in the future, but the time will be very long, therefore, he forced himself to suppress the tension in his heart, always with a faint smile on his face, and sat down according to the chair that Shi Wannian pointed to.
"I don't know what the lord is doing this time?" Shi Wannian asked Cui Zhuang with a smile.
"It's not a big deal, a few days ago I heard that the Shicheng Lord came to Chang'an this time and brought a lot of courgettes, this time I came here to ask you what the price of this courgette is, you don't know, the people in the family are all gluttonous masters, as soon as I heard that the courgettes here in the Shicheng Lord are better than those on the market, I have to come over to buy some, this is not coming."
Regarding Cui Zhuang's performance, Jia Yi nodded without a trace, due to the short time Jia Yi could not hand over every sentence to him, just said a few points that need attention, as for how to play, it completely relies on Cui Zhuang's own talent, after all, if Cui Zhuang is in charge of this stall in the future, it is impossible for him Jia Yi to stand by his side all the time.
"Since it is the lord's family who wants to eat, what price is there to talk about, Shi will send someone to send a car to the lord's house in a while."
When Cui Zhuang heard this, the smile on his face suddenly became a little thicker, and he opened his mouth and said, "But it's disrespectful, since that's the case, then I'll accept it with shame." ”
Originally, Shi Wannian thought that Jia Yi would pretend to shirk it, after all, they were all people with heads and faces in Chang'an City, and it was somewhat inappropriate to ask for other people's things so directly, so he had to give some gifts in return, but how did he know that Cui Zhuang was not Jia Yi at all, in his cognition, he would take it if he was given it, and he didn't have to pay for it himself anyway, but his subconscious behavior made Shi Wannian choke, and he didn't know how to take it down.
A cart of melons is two or three hundred, if it is according to Shi Wannian's selling price, this car is two or three hundred yuan, although this money is the king of the seven cities of Yiwu City Lord, it is impossible to care about this, but this is not doing anything, just throw out two or three hundred yuan first, this thing is only a fool will do.
Jia Yi, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but nod again, this way of retreating is a way of doing business, it seems that Cui Zhuang really has a talent for business.
Shi Wannian, who was choked, finally saw Jia Yiyi one by one, how could he let go of this little God of Wealth so easily, since the melon was sent out, let's talk about it on another topic.
"Shi Mousu asked, the lord has the name of the little God of Wealth in Chang'an City, it is not a secret, although Shi is the lord of a city, but there are not many things that can be taken to give to the Tang Emperor, so I thought of exchanging some money for some money to buy some treasures to send to the Tang Emperor, since I saw the Little God of Wealth today, I might as well ask the Little God of Wealth to give me an idea, but what can I do to make money, so I can gather enough money to buy some treasures as soon as possible and send them to the Tang Emperor."
Shi Wannian saw that Cui Zhuang was starting to be brazen, he simply put down his face, and directly said his request to Cui Zhuang, anyway, I'm talking about it here, I also gave you a car, you can do it yourself if you can't help it.
When Jia Yi came to tell Cui Zhuang about this, seeing Shi Wannian talking about it, Cui Zhuang was not ambiguous, and said it directly according to Jia Yijiao.
"Why should the stone city lord be reluctant to seek the near and far, although the resale of courgettes can make the stone city lord earn some money, but this time will inevitably be very long, you must know that tomorrow my emperor is about to accept your audience, and invite you to watch the folk Hundred Flowers Competition, if you can't get the treasure that matches your identity at that time, won't it make my emperor laugh."
"It just so happens that I have a few treasures on hand that I can get my hands on, and if you agree, you can exchange them with me."
What Shi Wannian wanted was Jia Yi's words, but he was happy but did not show it on his face, but asked: "I don't know what kind of treasure the lord has in hand." ”
"What treasure do you want?"
This sentence can stump Shi Wannian, he brought a lot of melons, but the treasures that need to be exchanged cannot be less, otherwise there will be less things for the Tang Emperor, it will seem stingy, and it will be looked down upon by the Tang Emperor, and if it is less, his income will be reduced accordingly a lot, you must know that his wishful thinking is to exchange a large number of treasures for courgettes, and then part of it will be handed over to the Tang Emperor, and part of it will be kept for himself, and when he goes back, he will take the treasures given by the Tang Emperor and the treasures exchanged for the courgette, which can be described as a double harvest, So his idea is that the more you change, the better.
It's just that the treasures of this year are too good, he doesn't change much, and he can't look down on the bad ones, and he was a little confused for a while, but when he didn't know what to say, he found that Cui Zhuang had a glass pendant hanging around his waist, and his eyes suddenly lit up, by the way, it was glass, this thing was a rare thing in the Tang Dynasty, and it could be exchanged a lot, although it was cheaper in Yiwu than in Chang'an, but it was also good.
"I don't know, does the lord have glass in his hand?"
In the middle of it, Jia Yi has been planning for so long, what he wants is Shi Wannian's words, Cui Zhuang did not answer immediately according to what Jia Yi said, but first frowned and pondered for a moment, and then gave a vague answer.
"I don't have a lot of glass on hand, if I give it all to you, I won't have it on hand."
"I don't know what the glass in the lord's hand is?"
"Glass Orb."
Shi Wannian's eyes suddenly lit up, the beads were given more right, and less was right, but it was better than those glazed vessels.
"I don't know how it is?"
When Cui Zhuang heard this, he pretended to grope for a long time from his body, and then took out a glass ball from his arms and put it in front of Shi Wannian.
"Sir, don't lie in front of celebrities, I came to Chang'an this time, and brought a total of 100 caravans of courgettes, if you can, I will exchange five carts of courgettes for you for a glass orb, what do you think?"
Cui Zhuang shook his head and said: "No, your five carts of courgettes are only a thousand times, you must know that my glass orb can be easily sold for a few thousand times in Chang'an City." ”
"Those seven cars should be regarded as making friends."
Cui Zhuang groaned, in fact, the lowest price given by Jia Yi was one for five cars, and now it is reasonable to say that it is good to have two cars, but Cui Zhuang still insisted and shook his head.
Shi Wannian's teeth are all gritted together, and he earns very little from changing one of the eight cars, but he is at war with heaven and man, after all, this kind of colored glass orb is also the only one he has seen in his life, he really doesn't want to miss it, and finally gritted his teeth and set the price on the eight cars.
Cui Zhuang showed a smile on his face, this transaction was directly concluded, in order to show his preciousness to the glass beads, Jia Yi had already ordered someone to create a gold and silver plate to inlay these glass balls, and now it came in handy, and ordered someone to go back and get a gold and a silver two plates inlaid with glass beads, and put them in front of Shi Wannian, as for the gourd, it was transported back with feet when Jia Yi and Cui Zhuang went back.
