Follow Alimu, walking and walking. Abu asked Yun Niang if she wanted to rent a car to go, Yun Niang turned around and asked Alimu how far away it was, Alimu said that it was not too far, about a stick of incense, so they decided to go on foot.

Alimu took the initiative to explain some local customs and customs for them, such as where the monasteries are more effective, the open and secret battles between various sects for territory and the cultists, and where the Buddhist cave strokes are more beautiful. Hearing Wu Ye's relish, he quickly mingled with this little brother, chasing him and asking him this and that. After all, Alimu is also a child's heart, and he helps carry all kinds of snacks and food that Abu keeps buying for Wu Ye. Wu Ye did not hesitate to share it with this brother he had just met, so Alimu also took good care of Wu Ye.

This time it was idle Abu and Yun Niang, one was gentle and gentle, and the other was graceful and graceful, and the two walked behind and talked in a low voice, catching the right way, like a fairy couple.

After a short time, I walked to the place where Alimu said the transaction, which is not a formal market in the strict sense, because it is not included in the planning scope at all. In the southwest corner of the state city, there is a raised mound, along the lower edge of the mound, merchants from all walks of life set up their own stalls, crookedly forming a "pedestrian street" for placing goods. In a sense, this also facilitates the browsing and trading of people who come and go, from beginning to end, even if the shopping is finished.

At this point, Abu was ready to make a big move. He was ready to rely on his knowledge of more than two thousand years to unearth some treasures that people had not noticed at this time. Indeed, he saw a wide variety of goods, long tusks, rhinoceros horns, blood-red coral, and even two green-headed parrots. Suddenly, he saw an irregular stone in a stall, so he crouched down and watched it repeatedly.

When the stall owner saw someone visiting, he hurriedly introduced it to Abu, saying that it was a strange extraterrestrial meteorite, a rare treasure.

It turned out that one evening, when he and a friend were walking in the suburbs, suddenly a long red trail crossed the sky, and it was falling not far in front of them, and they hurried over. When I went over, I found a deep pit in the ground, and black smoke was still emitting from the pit.

He and his friends didn't dare to go down to watch, so they secretly lay down next to them and waited, and waited by the pit for a night, and he and his friends were a little cold and couldn't stand it. When the smoke cleared after dawn, they went down to check and found only a large rock in the middle of the pit. They realized that the long red trail they had seen yesterday was caused by this large rock. They were not willing to go back empty-handed, so they each knocked a piece down with great effort and showed it to the blacksmith nearby. The blacksmith said it was just an ordinary stone. They didn't know where they picked it up, and they gave it back as a treasure, and his friend threw it away.

He was not reconciled, so he kept the stone at home, but after asking many people, the answer was the same, and he slowly began to lose heart.

Today, when he was idle, he took out the stone that he regarded as a treasure, and he didn't expect someone to ask, which made him secretly happy. But he wouldn't say it directly.

Abu asked him how big the big rock was, and he thought about it, and said that the one exposed outside the pit was about as thick as two people hugging each other, and he didn't know how big it was under the pit. Abu asked again where the pit was, and the stall owner hesitated and said that it was not very far from the state city anyway, but the specific location and location could not be told to Abu.

Abu was noncommittal, got up and was about to leave. When the stall owner saw that Abu was leaving, he was a little anxious, and it was easy for someone to ask, but he didn't want to let people go. Busy asking Abu if he wanted to buy it. Abu turned around and explained that it was just an ordinary stone, but it might contain iron ore, and if it was smelted, it would be good to use it to make iron tools. But if you don't make iron yourself, and if you don't make iron, what do you buy it for? The stall owner was speechless, he didn't know how many times he had heard similar words, and after a while, he sat down dejectedly.

After walking a few steps, Ah Bu turned his head again, and when he saw the appearance of the stall owner, he turned around again and said to the stall owner, I have a friend who smelts iron ore, if you can get all the big stones out of the pit and transport them to him, I guess he will accept it.

As soon as the stall owner showed joy, Abu said again, but he is far away from here, this is Wensu Prefecture, and he lives in Gumo Prefecture, you know, Gumo Prefecture is famous for smelting iron ore, and the distance between them is so far away, the cost of transportation is a lot, and the gains may outweigh the losses. The stall owner thinks about it, who would be stupid to transport a big stone and sell some silk or wine directly over such a long distance.

Seeing that the stall owner's face was dark and ugly, Abu showed a look of regret on his face, and said: "I know that you have long regarded this stone as the meat of your heart, once you hear that it is not as precious as you imagined, and the psychological gap is relatively large, I hope you can think about it." After all, it's not just a random stone that is a treasure. If you lose a piece of heart because of this matter, it will outweigh the losses. ”

The stall owner was silent for a while, sighed and said, "With more enlightenment from this nobleman, it is true that my obsession is too heavy." After that, he was ready to pack up and prepare to leave.

Abu looked unbearable: "That's it, I'll think of a way for you, what do you think?" ”

When the stall owner saw that things were turning around, he stopped to listen to Abu's words.

"That friend of mine is indeed an iron ore smelter, but when it comes to business, he definitely can't make money at a loss, right?"

The stall owner nodded yes.

Abu continued: "This stone of yours should contain iron ore, but it is not clear how much it contains, even if it is an iron ingot, it is still not worth as much as a piece of silk. Are you right? ”

The stall owner nodded, and said in his heart why this person was so unpleasant to speak, going around and around, but since the other party was thinking about himself, he also patiently continued to listen.

"I'll take it as a good deed, and buy this stone and the big one in the pit. Although the piece is larger and ownerless, if you know the location, then it is your property. But you'll have to help me dig it out, crack it up, and load it up. As for the labor cost, the consignment fee or something, we will calculate it together when the time comes. I'll give you a lot of money first, which is considered a deposit, what do you think? ”

The stall owner didn't expect such a reversal effect in the end, he couldn't believe his ears, and his words were a little stumbling: "How can this be ...... Make? ”

"It doesn't matter, it's not easy for you to live by guarding a stone all day."

One sentence made the stall owner's tears hang down: "Good man, really good man, the Buddha really opened his eyes." ”

At this time, the surrounding shopping crowd also gathered around, and even some stall owners did not sell goods, came over to see the excitement, it seems that the Chinese gathered around to watch the lively tradition of ancient and modern, and everyone talked while watching.

"It's really not easy for this guy, he is obsessed, he has been guarding this stone all day, and now he has finally made a move, and it can be regarded as a good end."

"yes, you can make a lot of money."

"Needless to say, plus the cost of labor, find camel transportation fees, and this can make a lot of money from it."

"This Lang Jun is really generous, he took a lot of money just for the deposit, and he is not afraid that others will run away."

"Hey, man, you don't know anything, you don't look at what people are wearing, are you the one who misses the penny. Besides, look at the little lady next to him, it's really fragrant. Such a person is either rich or expensive, and are you afraid that you will not be able to run away? ”

"This Lang Jun looks dignified, but spending money to buy such a broken stone, is there something wrong with his brain?"

"It's fun to buy, we will never understand the world of rich people."

Most of the people around you are envious of the stall owner's good life and ridicule Abu's brain-dead. Abu smiled, still amiable, neither angry nor refuting. And the other stall owners looked at Abu differently, this is a God of Wealth, people are stupid and rich, come on, look at the good goods I sell.

Abu asked the stall owner for his name and address, and when the stall owner had finished speaking, Alimu stepped forward and said he knew where. So this stone Abu also placed it at the stall owner's place first, and continued to walk forward.

When Abu passed by, all the stall owners greeted each other, and Abu politely replied, but they didn't mean to stop.

Just as he was about to finish walking this "pedestrian street", suddenly his eyes swept to a stall with some yellow, orange and orange items, "Huh? How could there be such a thing now? ”
