Chapter 216: Sea intestines pretend to be sea cucumbers

Hearing that Zhou Zhong was willing to buy these light ginseng in his hand, Yu Er's eyes immediately burst into ecstasy, and he asked a little eagerly: "Zhou Gongzi, how much do you want to buy, although this kind of light ginseng is rare, but this year's output is very sufficient, so the price is not very high, only three taels of silver per catty!" ”

"Three-two?" Zhou Zhong turned his head to look at Yu Er, but there was an expression in his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Yu Er, who has always liked to observe words and looks, saw the look in his eyes, but his heart was "groaning", although everything was going well in the game he set up now, but for some reason, he suddenly felt that his tricks seemed to be seen through by this polite Zhou Gongzi.

No way! Yu Er secretly gritted his teeth, he was confident that the deception he had set up was very clever, and everything had been carried out according to his plan so far, and nothing had gone wrong, plus the other party was so young, how could he see through the game he had set? Thinking of this, Yu Er felt a little confident in his heart, and the panic in his eyes also flashed, calmly staring at Zhou Zhong and waiting for him to make a decision.

Zhou Zhong saw the change in the expression on Yu Er's face, but he didn't say anything, but thought about it with a smile: "The best sea cucumber is five taels of silver, and these rare Jiaodong light ginseng only cost three taels, which is indeed not expensive!" ”

"What Xianggong said is that since these light ginseng are so rare, the price of three taels is indeed not expensive, but I don't know how many of these light ginseng there are, is it enough for us to give gifts?" At this time, Jinxuan also took Zhou Chong's words and said, just now she was the first person to suspect that Yu Er was a liar, but with the previous transaction of the best sea cucumbers, she also immediately dispelled the suspicions in her heart. I even felt a little sorry in my heart. I didn't doubt Yu Er's words anymore. I want to buy these precious "light ginseng" as gifts.

Hearing Jinxuan's words, Xie Lingyun also wanted to persuade Zhou Zhong to buy it, but after all, she was not as innocent as Jinxuan, and she still had a trace of doubt about this Yu Er in her heart, so she opened her mouth, but she still didn't say anything after that.

Zhou Zhong looked at the innocent Jinxuan, but reached out and patted her white little hand, and then winked at her. motioned for her not to speak, and then turned her head to Yu Er and said, "Brother Yu, you should have heard my wife's words, I am going to use these sea cucumbers as gifts, and I need a lot of them, I don't know how many you have here?" ”

"Zhou Gongzi can rest assured, I went all over Weihaiwei this spring, and even went to several other Weili to collect, and finally let me buy a large number of light ginseng, which together is two hundred catties. Now it's all in the house, I wonder how much you can buy? Yu Er didn't see Zhou Chong's small actions towards Jinxuan. Hearing him ask how many light ginseng he had, he was even more excited at the moment.

"Two hundred catties, although it seems like a lot, but this time I give more gifts, and I also want to keep some for myself, so two hundred catties can only be regarded as just right, so let's take out all the light ginseng, if the test is correct, I want all these light ginseng!"

Zhou Zhong waved his hand very arrogantly, three taels per catty, two hundred catties is six hundred taels of silver, although the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce is now a big business, but six hundred taels is not a small amount, you must know that the money is enough to buy a small merchant ship. Exchanging a boat for a bunch of so-called "light ginseng" that I don't know where to come, of course, Zhou Zhong can't do this kind of loss-making business, but now is not the time to debunk Yu Er's tricks.

Yu Er heard that Zhou Chong actually wanted it all in one breath, and he secretly regretted it in his heart at the moment, he knew that Lu Dao could meet such a big fat sheep, and he should have fished out more "light ginseng" in the spring, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it now, after the spring, these "light ginseng" couldn't be found.

Although it is a pity in his heart, Yu Er still carried the remaining light ginseng out of the house with quick movements, a flower is five big bags, which are all sun-dried light ginseng, and these light ginseng are also cleaned up, dried and preserved well, Zhou Zhong carefully inspected all the bags, and did not find any fault after the most rear.

Seeing that Zhou Chong had finished inspecting, Yu Er came over with a sneer, according to the general transaction process, it was time for Zhou Chong to pay next, but at this time, he saw Zhou Chong pick up a so-called light ginseng with a smile, walked up to Yu Er and said with a smile: "Yu Er, speaking of which, you have done a very good job in this scam, even these sea intestines have been handled very well, and you can do these details so carefully, you are also a very dedicated liar!" ”

Yu Er, who was waiting to collect the money, heard Zhou Chong's words suddenly, and called out the name "sea intestine", his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes were full of shock and fear, but after all, he was a shrewd liar, and the things he experienced were relatively light, and at that moment, he forced a laugh and denied: "What does Zhou Gongzi mean by this?" What is sea sausage? I'm all the best light ginseng! ”

"Light ginseng?" Zhou Chong suddenly grinned and smiled, revealing his mouth full of white teeth, but then he said in a cold tone, "Yu Er, don't play tricks in front of Young Master Ben, although there are very few people who know the Tao of the sea intestines, but unfortunately, Young Master Ben happens to be one of them, you used these sea intestines to dry and pretend to be the so-called light ginseng, and it's okay to deceive those who don't know, but if you want to deceive Young Master Ben, you are too tender!" ”

"Xianggong, what's going on, what is the sea intestine, are these light ginseng fake?" At this time, Jinxuan also came to her senses when she heard Zhou Chong's words, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, there is no light ginseng here in Weihaiwei at all, these so-called light ginseng that this liar is going to sell us is actually a thing called sea intestine, this sea intestine looks very similar to sea cucumber, but there are no meat thorns, so it is also called naked sea cucumber, but now no one should eat sea intestines, at most they use sea intestines as bait when fishing, which is not worth much money at all!" Zhou Zhong explained to Jinxuan and Lingyun with a smile.

It is a creature that lives in the shallow waters of the ocean, and only in the waters around the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. In later generations, sea intestines are also a very precious seafood, and even more expensive than sea cucumbers, but in the Ming Dynasty, people did not use sea intestines as a kind of food, it is estimated that this may be because the appearance of sea intestines is more disgusting, so it is used by people in coastal areas to use bait, or even to feed livestock.

Hearing Zhou Chong's explanation, Jinxuan and Lingyun realized that their previous guess was correct, and the thin Yu Er in front of them was really a liar, which made both of them annoyed in their hearts, if it weren't for their own recognition, I am afraid they would really be deceived today, and being deceived is only secondary, if they take these sea intestines and give them to their fathers, if something goes wrong with eating, then they will never forgive themselves for the rest of their lives.

Thinking of this, Jinxuan and Lingyun also glared at Yu Er angrily, at this time, Yu Er heard that Zhou Zhong was so familiar with the sea intestines, and he knew that something was wrong in his heart, and he was about to leave when he wanted to turn around, but Wu Shan and the others next to him had already blocked his retreat tightly, and were looking at him with a sneer on their faces.

Seeing this inescapable situation, although Yu Er panicked in his heart, he still pretended to be calm, and then threatened Zhou Zhong with a ruthless face: "The surname Zhou, don't think that you are great if you have a lot of people, don't forget that this is Weihai, no matter how rich you are, you are just a foreigner, so if you know each other, you'd better let me go, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind!" ”

Seeing that Yu Er, who was still smiling just now, turned his face faster than turning the book, and now he began to threaten himself with a fierce face, which made Zhou Zhong can't help but stroke his palm and smile: "Okay! What a shrewd Yu Er, who set up such a clever scam and failed to fool me, and immediately threatened me, an outsider, it seems that your liar's brain is really turning fast! ”

Zhou Zhong paused when he said this, and then instructed Wu Shan: "Wu Shan, show your sign to a liar!" ”

"Yes, Childe!" Wu Shan did not hesitate at all when he heard Zhou Chong's order, and immediately took out his brocade guard's waist card and shook it in front of Yu Er's eyes.

As a liar, Yu Er is naturally well-informed, when he saw the Jinyi Wei Qianhu waist card in Wu Shan's hand, the whole person collapsed to the ground in fright, his eyes were stunned without the slightest focus, in any case, he didn't expect that he would actually deceive Jinyiwei's head, and this inconspicuous guard turned out to be a thousand households, so how amazing should the identity of this Zhou Gongzi in front of him be?

Seeing that Yu Er collapsed to the ground in fright, Xie Lingyun still felt unrelieved at this time, and immediately opened his mouth and ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly arrest this Yu Er, and then send it to Commander Meng for disposal!" ”

Hearing Xie Lingyun's order, Wu Shan's Jinyi guards immediately agreed, and when they went up, the two of them pressed Yu Er to the ground and tied him up with a rope. At this time, Yu Er finally came to his senses, and cried to Zhou Zhong at the moment: "Zhou Gongzi spares his life, the villain is just eating with a mouthful of food, and he doesn't sincerely want to deceive you, if he knew that your body was in the air, he would have killed the villain, and the villain would not dare to cheat you of your money!" ”

Zhou Zhong didn't have much sympathy for Yu Er, throughout the ages, I don't know how many people were deceived by liars and went bankrupt, today fortunately I met Yu Er, if it was someone else, I am afraid that at least I would have to be deceived by a hundred and ten taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhongzhong was even more annoyed, and just wanted to let someone send Yu Er to the government for disposal, but a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he immediately said: "Wu Shan, you detain Yu Er temporarily, you don't have to let the people of the government deal with it, and you can also let these sea intestines be carried back to the mansion, be careful not to break them!" ”

After hearing this, Wu Shan agreed, and immediately asked people to send Yu Er and the sea intestines away, but at this time, Jinxuan and Lingyun were a little puzzled and asked: "Xianggong, Yu Er, you can just detain Yu Er, but what do you want these sea intestines for?" (To be continued......)
