Chapter Twenty-Five: A Basin of Cold Water
After seeing Cheng Huaiyu leave, Lin Sen retracted his gaze with some reluctance and continued to be busy looking for silver. Although these carvings are not large, their value is not low, and there is never a shortage of noble families in the East Market, and there are relatively more people who trade gold and silver.
After all, people with status come out to go shopping, and they can't just pull a few carts of copper coins to follow behind, it's not that they can't afford that artificiality, the key is a bit of a loss, it's definitely better to use gold and silver to be chic and stylish.
And with the drive of the wave of people just now, the enthusiasm of these people on the scene has always been relatively high, and it is also these things that Lin Sen has made that occupy a novel theme.
And for these rich and idle people, new and strange things are what they want to pursue, so as to highlight their differences, and they are naturally more sought after for these things made by Lin Sen. In addition, they are all people of the same level, looking at each other one by one, and they don't want to be despised by others, so they don't want to be left behind when they buy it.
Think about your opponent running in the restaurant to take out a fresh theme of the object to show people, surrounded by a cloud of sycophants, the face to earn this is called a foot, and then look at the things in your hands are rotten street things, and the material is better than people, this doesn't make people lose face. Can such a situation allow it to happen? That's definitely not going to work, so buy it.
Considering the psychology of these people, Lin Sen did not reduce the price of the last few things in hand, otherwise how could he make these people spend money happily.
Before it got dark, Lin Sen had all these things on hand, after all, there was only one golden silk nanmu, even if there was no scraps wasted, there was not much to build, especially those large and extraordinarily scrap materials.
However, the profits brought back by dozens of things, large and small, are really rich, and hundreds of silver dollars are in his pocket, and Lin Sen spontaneously has a feeling of wealth for the first time, but at the same time, there is inevitably a fear of being robbed.
It's not easy to come to Chang'an City, this is another ruthless, Lin Sen, who couldn't help but feel a little swollen in his heart, closed the stall without saying a word and prepared to experience the feeling of being an uncle. However, after taking two steps, Lin Sen hesitated for a moment, but came back and honestly put the back frame on, which made him feel more comfortable.
The original decoration was magnificent, and he was embarrassed to enter the storefront, but now Lin Sen also dared to go in to have a look, and dared to ask for a price.
However, after only walking a few shops, Lin Sen, who originally thought that he was also a rich man, was poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he couldn't shake it anymore.
A jade pendant carved from Lantian jade, less than a hundred times, despises this rare material, and I am sorry for the identity of the nobleman.
A silk dress transported from Shu, the cloud pattern on it is also from the famous embroidery of Shu, such a dress is less than 150 yuan, and the small shop can't even earn back the freight.
As for this piece of horse lance, it is a weapon that everyone selects the best materials to make it for ten years, and it has also been carefully adjusted by the master of the lance, so as to ensure that the nobles are handy, see that Lang Jun is the first time to come to the store to buy something, he will charge a cost price, take it away with 200 yuan, and the nobles will come again next time.
And this BMW from the Western Regions, although it is not a rare horse in the world, but it is also a rare horse, and several fierce generals in our Datang Dynasty have praised it.
Ay...... Such a good horse should follow a heroic young man like a noble man to make contributions, it can't be buried in my hands, and it is also a fate with Lang Jun, otherwise how can I sell it at such a low price.
Listening to the tone of vomiting blood and jumping off the sale price, and then looking at his purse, which he still felt was extremely rich, Lin Sen had no choice but to end his shopping trip in a gloomy manner, and all the complacency that had just emerged was gone.
Especially if you think about the housing prices in Chang'an City, if you invest all your worth now, it will probably be enough to buy the smallest house in the few shabby markets in the south that are deserted enough to see tigers in broad daylight, and if you want to find a place to live in, this money is probably only enough to rent for a few years.
As for these houses around the East City, even if you have money, you may not be able to live in them. It seems that there is still a long way to go to make a fortune.
Putting away that restless little thought, Lin Sen still honestly ran to buy some food and salt. Even if the goods sold in the East Market are these daily necessities, the quality must be very different from the ordinary goods commonly found in the West Market.
The originally slightly bitter well salt was replaced by high-quality green salt, and such a good thing is often just a thing used by the nobles to brush their teeth and rinse their mouths at home, and they don't necessarily have the opportunity to serve on the table. And the grain is naturally expensive, which makes sense, unlike the locally produced ones, it can be said that good grain can be seen here all over the Tang Dynasty.
Lin Sen was ruthless and bought some high-quality grain and salt, since he made money, he should always let himself really feel the improvement of his quality of life, so that he had the motivation to continue to struggle, if he was still as bitter as before, Lin Sen always felt that he would lose the courage to come to Chang'an City.
Besides, this can be regarded as preparing for the barter trade with the mountain people in the future, and the right is to hoard goods.
In the end, Lin Sen made a special trip to the blacksmith shop, bought an iron pot that he had been thinking about, and then went to buy some boiled lard, so that he could finally cook stir-fried vegetables at home and eat them in the future.
Datang will be mainly based on animal oil, as for vegetable oil is difficult to see, relatively more is sesame oil, at this time it is still called sesame oil, and it is not used as the main cooking oil. Probably because I ate too much of these big oils, such as the whole family of Li Tang's royal family has such a problem as "wind disease".
Of course, there are sesame oil sellers here in the East Market, but is that the price Lin Sen really can't afford it. With his lack of oil and salt, it is not a big problem to eat more lard. For the time being, there is no need to pay more attention to this aspect.
Once again, the back frame was stuffed, and before the curfew, Lin Sen ran out of Chang'an City satisfied.
Lin Sen, who was in a hurry, didn't know that what he did today had already made Cheng Yanjin know.
Not long after Cheng Huaiyu was rescued, the Cheng family guards, who had been in charge of taking care of her safety hidden in the crowd, separated one person and ran back to bring safety to the family, and said that Lin Sen was doing something clearly.
Cheng Yanjin, who always looks like a ruffian in front of outsiders, is sitting in danger at this time, like a general on the expedition, without the usual looseness.
"It turned out to be that wooden boy, and he even hid this skill, which is interesting." Cheng Biting Jin's opening returned to his previous lazy appearance.
"Since this kid has such a good decoction on hand, what can he do if he can't sell it, go, let the shopkeeper of our pharmacy talk to him, and say that his decoction is a good deal.
In the future, I will hang out the sign, and it will be called 'Cheng's Zhengqi Shui', well, I have to send some to the palace, just say that this is the ancestral secret recipe of my old Cheng family! Woohahaha......" Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but laugh proudly.
