At noon, several ferries docked at Matou, and nearly 100 people walked down from the boat, all carrying many large and small boxes appeared outside the venue, these people were dressed differently, some were dressed as Tibetans, and some were Hu people from the Western Regions, they quickly walked into the venue and came directly to the central position, and then each found a place to sit down.
At this moment, a handsome man appeared, who stood under the high platform and shouted to the people below.
"All the merchants from the south and the north of the world, just now everyone must have bought the goods they need, but this is just the beginning, we are all over the Wutongqu, all merchants are willing to come to the land of Wu Yue to sell their goods, not only those common, is the world's rare treasures, you can also buy here, the next is the treasure from the north and the south of the world, you can enjoy the treasure at will, you can buy it if you see what you like!"
With the shouts of the acquaintance, everyone walked to the center of the room.
"Look, what are they buying?"
People who often come here know this step, these people sell some rare items, only the rich can buy, although those small merchants have no money to ask, but these treasures everyone wants to see, at least go back and blow it.
The men sat down in their places, then opened the boxes and placed the treasures on the huge table in front of them, surrounded by five or six large men who protected them.
Many people gathered around the central position, and with the support of a group of servants, they stood in several rows and began to appreciate the treasure.
"Wow! It's so beautiful, this should be Hetian white jade, and it's the best kind, carved into a giant dragon, it's simply lifelike. ”
A merchant couldn't help but sigh when he saw a one-foot-long jade carving in front of him, such a large jade was originally small, and the carving technique was very exquisite, and the price was destined to be expensive.
"It's a good thing, but the price is also very expensive, a full fifty taels of gold, Lao Tian, can you afford it?"
A person behind him asked, pouting.
"Fifty taels of gold, I can't make so much money in a year."
"It's just the cheapest, you look at that thing, it costs eighty taels of gold."
There is another one next to this jade carving, which is a jade carving of a tiger descending from the mountain, which is two feet high, and the depiction is more vivid.
This place is carved from precious jade, the most expensive is a four-foot-high majestic mountain, the whole body is white, there are green bamboo, pavilions and pavilions, the green bamboo is carved from turquoise, in addition to green jade, jade and other precious stones, such a piece of one hundred and fifty taels of gold.
"It's so expensive, we can't afford it, let's go to the next one."
Most people could only look at it and sigh, but there were still a few people who stopped with a light in their eyes, looking at what they were wearing, they must be rich and wealthy, and they were quite interested in this jade.
Next to this jade line is a medicinal herb shop, there are all kinds of medicinal materials on the table, an old man with a few people sit quietly at the table, this old man looks more than seventy years old, his hair and beard are white, but even though he has passed the ancient years, but the spirit is vibrant, his eyes are shining, he has more spirit than young people, on the table in front of him are placed ginseng, snow lotus, dendrobium, He Shou Wu, etc., are cherished medicinal materials, one of the ginseng is like a little doll, the long ginseng whiskers are more than three feet long, People who know a little bit about the market know that it is at least three hundred years old.
More than 100 years of medicinal materials are about to become fine, especially this ginseng, when the patient is dying, he can drink a sip of ginseng soup to hang a breath, and it is even possible to bring the dead back to life, this kind of medicinal materials that can be called immortal medicine can be met but not sought, even if those visitors are picked in the deep mountains and old forests, they may not be able to touch a plant for several years or even decades, even if there is, there will be wild beasts around this old ginseng.
It can be said that there may be a few lives behind such a ginseng, but the price is also amazing, the cheapest one also costs ten taels of gold, and the price of the more than 300-year-old ginseng is two hundred taels of gold, which is enough to be called the king of ginseng.
"It turned out to be Mr. Bai, I didn't expect you to come in person this time."
One of the merchants recognized the old man.
"Oh! Mr. Bai came in person, no wonder he could see this ginseng king appear. ”
This old gentleman Bai is named Bai Feng, in the line of medicinal materials that can be called the ancestor, he is a Lang Zhong in the deep mountains of the far north, starting with the Bai family medicine shop, more than 20 years in the world opened more than a dozen, there are many apprentices, although the shop is not much, but the Bai family medicine store specializes in selling cherished medicinal materials, ordinary people can't afford it at all, and his medical skills are very high, so he is very famous among those powerful people, it is said that the Qing King Nurhachi was seriously ill, many medical skills are helpless, and finally Bai Feng took a ginseng king to go, A bowl of ginseng soup saved Nurhachi from the ghost gate, and since then it has been famous all over the world.
This time he came in person, and some people felt that it was worth it to see his true face.
"Haha, thank you friends for still thinking about me, this old guy, I'm old, the extreme north is too cold, my body can't stand it anymore, this time I went to Jinling to support the elderly."
Bai Feng clenched his fists and said to the people around him.
"Mr. Bai has come to our land of Wuyue, that's really good."
A few merchants who knew him were well welcomed.
"Bai Lao, I sold these two ginseng plants."
As he was talking, a man in his forties came over with a gold ingot, pointed to a ginseng plant placed on the table, and said.
This ginseng is priced at ten taels of gold, which is also worth a lot of money, and it seems to be seventy or eighty years old, and it can be regarded as an old ginseng.
"Lao Liu, count yourself lucky, you met Bai Lao, otherwise there would be no such good ginseng to buy!"
"Yes! My old father had typhoid fever a year ago, and his body was not as good as a day, as long as this old ginseng could be cured, I searched for a long time and did not see a plant, this time I waited for the Bai family to appear, it seems that my father was saved. ”
The man had a smile on his face, although the ten taels of gold were his income for half a year, it was worth it to cure his father's illness.
"Okay, well, it is said that the land of Dawu is outstanding, everyone is a loyal and filial person, I didn't expect that my first voice met a filial son, Xiaoliu, wrap the old ginseng for this brother, plus three or two wolfberries, this is also ten years of wolfberry, boiled together with the old ginseng, the hot ginseng soup is in the stomach, and any wind and cold can be removed."
Bai Feng instructed an apprentice.
"Then thank you, old man."
When the man heard it, he gave a gift again and again, and the three taels of wolfberries also got a few taels of silver, although it was not much, but the other party gave himself for nothing, that is, benevolence and righteousness.
Bai Feng's move immediately attracted a round of applause, and many people also discussed preparing to buy a medicinal herb.
