Chapter 64: Black! It's black!
Tang Que slept very well this night, got up refreshed the next morning, and after eating the morning food, he took Zhang Wu straight to the West Market.
The North and South Tea House opened by Sun Yuanjun's brother-in-law is really inconspicuous from the face of the door, there is a guy inside, and when he saw Tang Que and the two of them coming in, he didn't come out to greet him, and he sat with a big horn, looking like he didn't look at it, and he didn't like to buy it.
Seeing Xiao Er taking it big like this, Zhang Wu was still a little hairy, but Tang Que was happy in his heart, the more Xiao Er was like this, the more it showed that this tea house did not point to ordinary individual customers to make money at all, which ...... What a great thing!
After Tang Que gave Zhang Wu a look, he didn't greet Xiao Er, so he turned around in the shop with his conceited hand.
This tea house is no different from other tea shops, and the wooden cabinets are also placed with Gu Zhu purple bamboo shoots, Dongchuan Shenquan, Fangshan Luya, Kuizhou Xiangshan and other famous teas, in addition to Jiangling Nanmu, Tianzhu tea, Yangxian tea, Qimen tea are also available, but to say that these other tea houses are also available, and the price of this shop is similar to other shops on the market.
"That's not right", Tang Que thought to himself after going around the store, and didn't ask Xiao Er at the moment, but looked at it carefully, until he saw the jar of Jiannan Mengding Stone Flower in the corner of the wooden cabinet, his eyes lit up, and his heart calmed down.
That's it!
If this says what are the characteristics of this pot of tea, it is one word: expensive, not ordinary expensive, it is simply sky-high! Just such a small can just reached the weight of two taels, and the price shouted out turned out to be two hundred yuan.
According to the Tang Dynasty, a copper coin is about equivalent to three cents of later generations, and the money has always been 300, 100 yuan and 30,000, and the 200 yuan is 60,000 yuan in later generations.
At the moment, even if you buy a high-quality Yue girl, it is only twenty yuan, two hundred! You can buy ten beauties, and if you buy only a rough mother-in-law, twenty-five or six are fine. Although the Monting Stone Flower from Jiannan ranked first among the top ten famous teas in the Tang Dynasty, it was not worth the price even if it was grown in gold!
Seeing this price, Zhang Wu was dumbfounded, but Tang Que had no choice but to scold secretly: "Black, really fucking black."
Scolding is scolding, but Tang Que knew that the tea in front of him couldn't be bargained at all, so he took a step back, and he whispered to Zhang Wu and asked, "How much money do you still have?" ”。
"Two hundred and twenty-seven", when he also replied in a low voice, Zhang Wu also glanced left and right, for fear of being heard by others, "Nine percent of the money and money brought by my lord are here."
"You give me the two hundred tickets", Zhang Wu was stunned when he heard this, and then exclaimed in a low voice as if he had been overwhelmed by a scorpion, "You don't want to buy that pot of tea, do you?" ”。
Xiao Er, who came over to Wen Wei, smiled slightly, Tang Que turned his head sideways and said in a deep voice: "How did Zhang County Commander explain to you when he came?" ”。
Tang Que didn't have time to pay attention to Zhang Wu's mouth full of cool air, and after taking the ticket, he took a few steps forward and said, "Little second brother, excuse me, I want to buy this jar of montex flowers?" ”。
"Oh!" , The shopkeeper who was sitting in the big lama finally moved, "Honored guest, this tea is precious, you really want to buy it sincerely?" ”。
"It's not expensive, I won't buy it!" , Tang Que smiled and said, "I don't want anything else, that's it."
"Okay! Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll go and ask the boss to come out", Xiao Er dragged a long trill, and opened the curtain behind the wooden cabinet.
Seeing that Xiao Er was gone, Zhang Wu, who had woken up from excessive consternation, came up, "Young Master Tang, Young Master Tang, think again, two hundred times, think again."
"Fifth Brother Zhang, have you heard a word?" After Tang Que waved his hand to signal Zhang Wu to silence, he said in a low voice: "How many seeds are harvested!" I have my own measure in this matter, you can relax, when you go back, the county lord can only praise you for being good."
As soon as Tang Que finished speaking, the curtain behind the wooden cabinet was lifted, and a man in his thirties with a long dough came out, needless to say, this person was the owner of the tea house, Sun Yuanjun's brother-in-law.
Paying the money with one hand, handing over the tea with the other, and then the process of buying tea was very simple, looking at Zhang Wu holding the tea can as carefully as holding a newborn, Tang Que couldn't help laughing, and Sun Yuanjun's brother-in-law also followed. He still hasn't understood anything!
After making such a large amount of business, the boss naturally wanted to set up tea in the back hall and talk to Tang Que.
In the middle of drinking tea, Tang Que talked about the dispute between the Zhongzhang County Order and Yao Zhuzhu in Yunxi County, and also pointed out the rumors that Yao Zhushu had a great relationship with Benzhou Ma Biejia, and the dough dough boss just laughed and did not make any comment on this battle and the rumors between Yao and Ma.
After leaving a copy of the name of Zhangxian Order and the address of his residence in the state city, Tang Que got up and said goodbye. The dough boss personally sent him to the mouth of the alley from the back door, saying that today's reception was too simple, and that a banquet would be held at Liubiju at noon tomorrow, so that Tang Que would not have to rush back, and he would be there tomorrow. In this regard, Tang Que naturally nodded in agreement, "Certainly, definitely!" ”。
Walking out of the alley, Tang Que looked at the bustling street scene in front of him, only to feel that his heart suddenly relaxed, "This trip to Jinzhou is finally worthy of the mission", Zhang Wuke, who followed him, was not in such a good mood as him, crying and holding the teapot in his arms tightly with a sad face, two hundred! , which is more expensive than gold. While walking cautiously, he was still thinking about how to explain to his master after he returned.
That afternoon, Tang Que, who was relaxed, took Sister Lan to visit the bookstore, but the price of the books inside was really eye-popping, a copy of the "Chinese Explanation" written by Wei Zhao during the Three Kingdoms did not have many chapters, and the printing quality was not very good, so the shopkeeper actually asked for four hundred texts.
After hearing the offer, Tang Que turned around and left, daring to ask for one hundred and twenty yuan for this broken book! I'm crazy about money!
After walking a few more bookstores in a row, Tang Que found that the shopkeeper was not crazy, he was the one who was going crazy. After turning around these bookstores, he didn't even find a book below 100 texts, so far, Tang Que finally understood why there are so many records of poor scholars copying and reading books in history books, in this era, reading is really expensive! Many poor families don't want to read, but they really can't afford to read. If it weren't for the free books provided by the village school that day, I am afraid that he would still have to copy books when he first went to school.
Hit by this, Tang Que also lost interest in visiting the bookstore, just the few money he saved, enough to buy a few books? Seeing that he was so unbearable, Lancao gently hooked Tang Que's palm with his little finger and said, "If you really like it, you can buy it, and this time I will come out, and I will also bring the monthly money I saved."
"How easy is it for you to save that money? It's not cheap to buy books, those profiteers", Tang Que also used his little finger to turn back Sister Goulan's fleshy palm, which made her giggle for a while, "Now that I think about it, it's better than what a teacher said before, you can't read books unless you borrow them!" ”。
"Former teachers? Is it Old Master Yan? No, he likes to buy books himself, and I heard that most of his life has been spent on books."
"It's not him, okay, don't keep talking about books, there is a fragrant powder shop in front, I'll accompany you in to have a look", the book is not borrowed or read, but Tang Que listened to what the university teacher said in later generations, and now he made a mistake at the moment, so he found a reason to interject the words, so as not to ask Sister Lan again.
Time flies quickly after the mood is relaxed, and the next morning after Tang Que got up, Sister Lan cleaned up for him, and the Yuanyou crown and turquoise waist that he bought last winter were also draped on his body, so Tang Que became more and more handsome and capable.
On the morning of the same day, Xiao Er, who was in the tea house yesterday, came into the inn and sent a greeting post, which indicated the time of the banquet and the room number of the Accord, looked at the hourglass in the room, and saw that there were still three quarters of an hour before the beginning of the afternoon, Tang Que Shi Ran got up and went out.
Liubiju is worthy of being a first-class restaurant in the state city, and the Accord is well arranged, and it has a somewhat elegant and dusty taste. However, there is only one main and one guest in the huge Accord, which is inevitably a little lonely.
