Chapter 17 The sky-high price of incense
But you have to buy some incense and some daily necessities, and you can't not wash your face and brush your teeth every day!
On the way to the incense shop, I bought some porcelain basins and sweat towels, bone toothbrushes, and the toothbrushes of the Song Dynasty did not dare to compliment, they looked domineering, and they should be very hard and painful to use!
A bone stick about a few inches long is drilling two rows of pores on the head, planting a ponytail on it, which looks a little difficult to taste, but Liu Ming is too lazy to make it himself, on the one hand, he has no hands-on experience in this area!
On the other hand, when I was in school, I was an art student, so my level of cultural knowledge was limited!
After walking through three streets, I saw a large house from a distance, if I didn't ask anyone else, I didn't know that this was an incense shop, the plaque at the door was very small, and it read: "Qinghe Ximen's incense shop!" ”
In Mengdian City, the word Qinghe may be from there!
The courtyard is very lively, and some ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes come to pick up the incense in the incense shop!
There is a group of guards at the door, which is obviously for private use! Waste of effort!
But these things should not be in Liu Ming's care, Ximen Qing and Zhang Xianling are mixed up, not to mention a class, even if the entire yamen is covered with this incense shop, no one dares to say anything!
Besides, the yamen is not far from this incense shop, and there is nothing special about sending a few people to guard it, anyway, incense shops are all sales institutions run by officials and merchants, and they are half a national thing!
It's like a co-op or something!
"Please, two of you! Do you want to buy some high-end incense, mid-range, or ordinary? ”
As soon as he walked to the door, the official standing at the door blocked the way!
"Buy some fancy ones!"
"The high-end one is in the north side courtyard! Please move, and the mid-range is in the east side of the courtyard, and the normal one is in the south! Feel free to do so! ”
"Thank you, two officials!"
When Liu Ming pulled Yun Niang into the main courtyard, he felt that the fragrance coming from all sides was very strong, although these incense objects were not burned, they still exuded a strong atmosphere!
It's like bathing in the warm sunshine, and it's refreshing!
Entering the inner courtyard of the high-end incense shop, Liu Ming really felt the high-end place, several young maids dressed in bright clothes, wearing heavy makeup, wearing satin clothes, and setting off the seductive curves. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's so bright that people can't open their eyes, almost everyone who comes to buy high-end incense is surrounded by at least one maid, probably seeing the arrival of Liu Ming and the two, two of them came on purpose!
Is this Ximenqing's brain going to be broken, can he afford to invite so many maids, don't he need money?
In the next second, Liu Ming completely overturned his thoughts! Because the money for the salaries of these maids is not enough to lose the incense money!
"What kind of incense do you want to buy? The slave family will help you choose! ”
The two smiling maids floated to Liu Ming and the two like Caiyan, sang a thousand blessings and asked!
"What a fragrance!"
Liu Ming naturally didn't know what kind of high-end things were in this era, so he naturally had to pretend to be a pie, make a show, and ask with his hands behind his back with his stomach shy.
This is a kind of petty bourgeoisie who is making a fool of himself, for fear that these maids will look down on him!
"The official comes with me!"
"Yes!"
The maid led Liu Ming and the others into a room, the room was full of cabinets and drawers, four men with five big and three thick men dressed in strong suits, with swords at their waists, standing in the room, staring intently at the few people who came in, with a cold breath in their eyes.
This battle has made it like a vault, cutting, selling incense!
And the bodyguards! This Ximen Qing is really enough to do, and if he goes on like this, it is estimated that these people will be able to squeeze his blood dry!
"Official, all the dipterocarp in this room is placed, the place of origin is Bo mud, and the procedures for the official incense medicine are complete, and vouchers can be issued, every two or eight yuan! Seventy-six pounds per catty, and seven hundred pounds can be priced if you buy enough ten pounds! ”
The maid's words made Liu Ming almost startled Da Xiang, what kind of thing is every two or eight dollars? Isn't this a robbery?
"Are you honest? How much does Bianliang sell, I don't know if it's not? ”
Liu Ming pulled out the shelf and wanted to just take a look, of course, to see if they had reported false offers!
"Hehe, official, this thing is the price set by the incense medicine Yiyuan, the price obtained by the official, the head, and the pedestrian, our small Mengdian City (Yanggu City) Ximen incense shop does not dare to set the price at will, if it is known from above, it will not ban our sales qualifications? Does the guest officer still doubt my offer? ”
The maid's words were much brighter, with a taste of contempt!
In her eyes, Liu Ming is a layman, and at this time, the pricing of every incense medicine in the Fragrance Medicine Yiyuan must be verified by the heads of the industry, pedestrians and official personnel in various places, and the price will be unified across the country, and naturally no one dares to raise the price at will!
The head of the line is naturally a highly respected person who does this business.
Pedestrians are naturally private businessmen who have taken over from Song Ting.
The tripartite pricing mechanism can truly reflect the purchasing power of the society, and the price is the most ideal pricing mechanism for the right price in terms of transportation and purchasing power.
"Official, let's go see something else!"
Yun Niang was almost stupid when she heard the price! Because at this price, one pound of borneol is enough to buy 100 acres of fertile land!
At this time, one acre of land was only sold for five hangs, that is, five taels of silver, that is, five guan, this guy's incense is so high!
Even Yun Niang was taken aback, what he used to buy was incense from some stalls, which was not very expensive, and it was usually bought by the aunt, that is, Liu Ming's mother! The little girl she didn't get out of the cabinet didn't get in touch with this piece either!
Liu Ming touched the money in his pocket, which was only enough to buy half a tael! Isn't it, what do you eat when you buy it!
"Well, this kind of atmosphere is not suitable for my family, the girl will introduce me to the next one!"
The maid was not angry after listening to Liu Ming's words, but continued to lead Liu Ming to watch the incense medicine in other rooms!
"This is frankincense, from the country of Srivijaya Qi, the price is nine and one tael, and the quantity is preferred!"
The maid has already introduced three high-end incense medicines in a row, and Liu Ming waved her hand directly every time she heard the price, which was naturally a little snub in her heart! Don't say what specific amount is preferred!
"Well, I won't buy incense medicine for the time being, I forgot to bring money before I went out!"
That's a good reason! Liu Ming adores himself!
"Guest officer, isn't there a housekeeper or something, where is the mansion, we can send someone directly into the mansion, and it's not too late to withdraw the money!"
The maid saw through Liu Ming's poor and sour appearance, and bluntly asked about things like the mansion, and it seemed that she didn't even plan to leave the last layer of window paper for Liu Ming!
"Haha, no, I've already seen it, I'll buy it when I go back, I still have very important things to do!"
