Chapter 5 Forced Buying and Selling (Asking for Collection Recommendation)
When he got up in the morning, Lin Sen checked the baby eggs again, and then went out to prepare for the journey. Such good things must be sent to Chang'an City to be sold, which is more in line with Lin Sen's expectations for them.
Dozens of miles of mountain roads are no longer an obstacle for Lin Sen, who is in a hot mood, and thanks to the improvement of system permissions, his physique has been improved as a whole, so that he can easily walk to a village not far from Chang'an City before dark.
really walked to Chang'an City, Lin Sen was not in a hurry, the opening time of the east and west markets was quite late, not at all like those shopkeepers in later generations, who couldn't wait to be open all day. Who makes this traffic very inconvenient now, guests like Lin Sen who want to buy and sell things, even if they arrive here, it is often noon, and there are no customers when the market opens early, and everyone has formed such a tacit understanding in the long run.
This time is also just right for Lin Sen to appreciate the majestic city of Chang'an, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty and probably the largest city in the world today, Chang'an does have a yearning for trepidation.
It's easy to feel a sense of security with its towering towers, and the streets are so wide that they are almost empty, so you can go wherever you want.
Even from the perspective of future generations, those large and small buildings that can be called beautiful and even magnificent, just stand quietly on the side of the road, bringing a strong shock to the immersive Lin Sen far beyond those restored models when later generations saw them, so he unconsciously felt a little cramped like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and completely lost the condescending mentality from later generations. If anyone pays attention to his expression, they may even label him a "hillbilly who has never seen the world".
More importantly, the spirit embodied in those Tang people, the kind of self-confidence and pride from the heart, and even disdain for foreigners, can easily infect others, making you feel proud of being a Tang person.
Lin Sen, who was lingering in the meantime, almost forgot what he was going to do, looked up at the position of the sun, felt that it was almost over, asked Wuhou who was patrolling the street, and went straight to the West Market.
As we all know, the East Market and the West Market are both Chang'an City Industrial and Commercial Markets, but due to their different market locations, the types of goods they operate are also slightly different.
Due to its proximity to the three major cities (Taiji Palace in the West, Daming Palace in the East, and Xingqing Palace in the South), there are many royal nobles and dignitaries in the surrounding squares, so the city is "rare from all directions, all of which are accumulated". Most of the goods traded in the market are high-class luxury goods to meet the needs of royalty and nobles and dignitaries.
The West Market is far away from Sannai, and there are many ordinary people's houses around, and the goods operated in the market are mostly clothes, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities.
And because the east and west cities are the most important international markets and fashion entertainment centers, the two cities are prosperous, people shop more to these two places, sometimes buy the east, sometimes buy the west, over time, the word "buy things" has become the word for people to shop, until later generations only buy things, not buy north and south of the saying, probably from here.
The goods that Lin Sen has on hand are obviously more suitable for selling in the West Market, and they are also more prosperous here, so maybe they can be sold better. Of course, the threshold on the East side of the city is too high, and he is afraid that a temporary trader like him who fights guerrilla will not be able to enter, so he can only come to the West City.
After asking the place clearly, first run to sell the mountain goods on hand, these things are relatively common, and the selling price will definitely not go up, but fortunately, the price is relatively transparent, and Lin Sen does not have to worry about being cheated.
couldn't help but weigh the heavy money that had just arrived, and Lin Sen ran towards the west with satisfaction. There are all kinds of restaurants, and after Lin Sen, who is a foodie, has some money, the first thing he must think of is to enjoy the food of Datang at this time.
When Lin Sen came, it was just a meal, and there were not too many people here. The most people are also the most magnificent, and it is naturally Zhangjia Restaurant. Compared with the shops along the street that I have seen before that are at most ten meters wide and three meters deep, this family food shop occupies enough space between the two main streets, which already shows enough grandeur.
It's a pity that Lin Sen is reluctant to go in and sit in such a store, and the little copper money in his hand has not yet been hot, so he can't go in for a lunch, and he has not yet reached the point where he can spend a lot of money.
Walking further south, there are a lot of orchids who are a little too thinly dressed and overbearing are courteously soliciting diners, if you are willing to spend more money, it is not impossible to even eat beautiful women with wine and food before leaving.
As a loyal fan, Lin Sen almost couldn't resist such a peach ** bewilderment, but unfortunately he really didn't have the confidence to go inside.
Lin Sen secretly made up his mind that when he had money in the future, he must eat all over this food street, but in the end, he only bought two mutton hu cakes sold along the street, which were similar to the meat buns of later generations, squatting at the door of Zhang's restaurant, smelling the bursts of aroma coming from inside, and by the way, he glanced at the cool orchid next to him, and solved the lunch.
After the meal, Lin Sen finally found a place and put out the three wood carvings at the bottom of his pressing box.
After Lin Sen's polishing and polishing, the wood carving is as warm as jade, and there is also a bit of ivory-like texture, which is a beautiful theme, and it is so vivid and vivid, it easily captured the attention of many people, and a few of them were well-dressed and simply surrounded them.
"Dare to ask Xiao Langjun how these wood carvings can be invited home?" The person who came up to ask seemed to be a particular person, and when he asked, he always said "please" instead of "buy".
"Don't that kid, how did this 'Taiping Elephant' sell?" There is naturally no shortage of people who are not welcome.
"The poor in the boy's family can't open the pot, so I have to take out the treasures of this family in exchange for some life-saving food, which is naturally the one with the highest price." Lin Sen had already thought of the rhetoric, how can a good thing be done without a good story.
"A certain family sees that you are pitiful, so give you the money to give me these three wood carvings." A lewd fat man with a big belly but a pair of rat whiskers said as if I was taking care of you with great compassion, as for the contemptuous eyes of others, he didn't see it.
"This week, the fat man is bullying people Xiao Langjun doesn't know how to do it, such a beautifully carved, vivid boxwood statue, and the size of the material is also very rare, any of them are not always money can be sent." There was a knowledgeable person next to him who despised Dao, and his voice was not low, obviously reminding Lin Sen.
"This boxwood material is a rare superlative, and the carving is also excellent, and the value is indeed not low." There is no shortage of help next to it, and these boxwood carvings are also very respectful in words.
"This little Langjun, I want to invite this Taiping Youxiang, is it always money?" The elegant man said indifferently, and glanced at the obscene fat man by the way, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"This Taiping Youxiang is really good, a certain 1,200 yuan." Someone next to him joined in the fun.
It seems that there are more people who like Taiping Youxiang, which is more widely applicable, and most of the bidding behind it revolves around this one. Seeing that the price is rising, Lin Sen's mood is also rising.
"Seven times, elephant." A lame Tang dialect popped up, and a Persian merchant joined in.
"A certain out of five." The other Tang people glanced at the foreign businessman, but continued to bid, but this one's bid was directly ignored.
There's no way, the Tang people are so tough in the face of these merchants, and they always have this kind of spirit that is superior to them. And Lin Sen glanced at the foreign businessman very regrettably, and still determined that the highest price was the Tang man of Wuguan, who made the current situation of Datang like this, Lin Sen didn't want to be despised by other Tang people, although he really wanted to get more money.
"Two out of a certain one!" A domineering voice interjected violently, and then a somewhat empty-eyed person walked out of the crowd, glanced at Lin Sen arrogantly, and then answered in a charity tone, "That's it, you have made a lot of money." ”
A follower naturally threw down two strings of copper coins, and then picked up the statue and left. Lin Sen didn't even react a little.
