After Zhang Forget finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the crowd, whether it was a peddler or a wealthy trader. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The onlookers lived in a hierarchical feudal society, with a low status, and they could talk to the children of the scholar clan on weekdays, and they could boast about it for a long time.

It's just that most of them are clumsy, and they don't know what to say at this time, so they can only reply in a mess, and even say: "Don't dare to be."

Zhang Forget finished bowing and continued: "Today is still the old rule, if anyone can come up with a natural thing, so that I can't tell where it comes from or what it is used for, I will teach him the same technique of making gold every day." ”

There was a commotion among the onlookers, and they looked around, wondering if there would be another challenge to the impossible today.

In the crowd, a merchant shouted: "Xiao Zhang Lang, for several days, no one can embarrass you, your craftsmanship in this day, who knows if it is true or false?" ”

Zhang Forget smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Since my debut, I have never eaten a word, and people give me the nickname 'A true gentleman who never lies'." As long as you can stump me, I will teach you a craft of making gold every day, and if there is a word of deception, teach me to thunder and split! ”

Everyone was in an uproar, and their eyes suddenly became hot.

Zhang Forget waited for everyone to quiet down and said, "Since everyone no longer doubts my ability, then I have to start pretending...... Well, let's move back on the topic. ”

He pointed to the bamboo slip that had just been written on the stone table, and said: "I know twenty-two ways to make vinegar, and I have already written one on this bamboo slip, it depends on who has the ability to take it away." This method is absolutely feasible, if there is any falsehood, I am willing to bring my own shackles and go to the county jail to squat for half a year. ”

"What?"

"The method of making vinegar!"

When the onlookers heard this, they immediately blew up.

Vinegar is an ordinary thing after a thousand years, but in ancient times, it was not unusual at all.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was already a workshop specializing in vinegar, but until the Northern and Southern Dynasties, vinegar was still regarded as a valuable luxury.

In the Tang Dynasty, vinegar began to be widely used, and famous dishes with vinegar as the main seasoning such as vinegar celery, scallion and vinegar chicken also appeared.

At present, it is the Eastern Han Dynasty, vinegar is much more expensive than salt, and people will cut down on food and clothing to buy salt, but they will never cut down on food and clothing to buy vinegar that is more expensive than salt.

If you really learn the method of making vinegar, you will definitely be able to make money every day. Because this vinegar is specially supplied to dignitaries and nobles.

Jia Xu stood in the crowd and listened to Zhang Wang's words, and his heart was also shocked.

He wasn't shocked that Zhang Wanghui had a method of making vinegar, he was shocked that there were twenty-two ways of making vinegar in Zhang Wanghui.

There is a method of making vinegar, which is called craftsmanship, and there are twenty-two methods of making vinegar, which is called learning.

This Zhang forgets to claim to be omniscient and omniscient, and it seems that he really has a certain background, and it is not pure self-praise.

While the people were still clamoring like a pot of porridge, a merchant dressed in brocade stepped forward and shouted, "I'll try it." ”

When the people saw someone stand up and be embarrassed, some were happy, some were annoyed, and some were holding their breath and waiting for the situation to develop further, and then they fell silent again.

Zhang Forget paced out from behind the stone case with his hands behind his back, and said to the merchant with a smile: "What do you call the guest?" ”

The merchant smiled: "Contemptible Han Zheng, just a businessman." I have something, Xiao Langjun may not be able to see the calendar. ”

Zhang Forget smiled: "Don't say too much, take out the things first, let me take a look." ”

The merchant smiled and pulled something out of his sleeve.

The onlookers looked at it and found that it was a red stone, and immediately booed.

Picking up a stone at will to deceive people is unkind.

Seeing everyone's reactions, the merchant Han Zheng hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand, this is not a stone I just found." There is only one place in the world where this kind of stone can be produced, as far as I know. I don't embarrass Xiao Langjun, as long as you can tell where this stone came from, I will count you as a winner. ”

Zhang forgot to be noncommittal, took the stone and looked at it carefully.

The size of the palm of the stone, the stone is firm but not brittle, hard but not slippery, the feel is gentle, and the sound of knocking is pleasant.

The color of the stone is like the sunset, red and yellow, the silk lines of the chicken blood color are swirling and changing, the second is not chaotic, and it shines on the stone surface, forming the veins of clouds and mist.

After Zhang Forget looked at it for a while, his eyes showed joy, and he carried the stone into his arms, and said to the merchant Han Zheng: "The guest is from Qingzhou?"

Han Zheng was very annoyed when he saw that Zhang Forget had revealed his origin, and he said unwillingly: "Yes, the contemptible person is from Qingzhou, but if you only know Qingzhou, you can't be counted as winning, because this thing is only produced in one county in Qingzhou." ”

Zhang Forget said with a smile: "In the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius traveled around the world, and in Zhuxu County, Beihai County, he saw a kind of red stone and praised it as 'agar jade flower'. What he praised was the Qingzhou red silk stone you gave me. ”

Han Zheng saw that Zhang Forget not only knew the origin of the stone, but also knew the allusion, and could no longer quibble: "Xiao Langjun is really powerful, and he is willing to gamble and lose." Xiao Langjun has any requirements, even if I say it, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse. ”

Zhang Wangxiao looked at him with a smile: "I have a copy of "Twenty-four Articles on the Art of War", which tells the way of marching and fighting. Can you please help me give this book to a young talent in Donglai County, Qingzhou. ”

Han Zhengdao, a businessman, said: "What's so difficult about this? I am about to return to Qingzhou recently, Xiao Langjun gave me the book, and I will definitely bring it for you. ”

Zhang Forget nodded, turned back to say a few words to the house slave, and the house slave trotted back to Yang's house, and ran back a moment later with a stack of Cai Hou papers.

Zhang Forget handed the "Twenty-four Chapters of the Book of War" written on Cai Hou's paper to Han Zheng and said to him: "Please send this book to Huang County, Donglai County, to a young man named Tai Shici." ”

Han Zheng took the book and said solemnly: "Xiao Langjun, rest assured, Han Zheng will live up to his trust." ”

Zhang Forget nodded, and said, "Qingzhou Red Silk Stone, do you still have it with you?" I'm willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. ”

Han Zhengdao: "This kind of stone, except for ornamental play, is useless, just give it to you." ”

As he spoke, he told his servant to go to the ox-cart not far away, and brought the remaining two red silk stones.

Zhang Forget also carried these two stones in his arms, and said to the merchant Han Zheng: "Thank you." ”

The merchant was about to speak, when an impatient voice said, "It is really boring to delay so much time with a broken stone." ”

Zhang Forget looked back and saw that the person who spoke was a fat man with a big belly.

The merchant Han Zheng was a little unhappy and said, "This noble man thinks that my stone is a broken stone, so it must be a precious thing?" ”

"That's nature!"

The fat man pursed his lips, took out a jade carving from his sleeve, and said proudly: "My jade carving is worth a thousand gold, Xiao Langjun, you may tell where this jade material comes from?" ”

In ancient times, the value of a thousand gold did not refer to a thousand catties of gold, but to a thousand catties of brass.

A pound of brass can be minted for about 300 yuan and 5 baht.

A thousand catties of brass, that's 300,000 dollars.

300,000 yuan, you can buy 1,500 stone of corn, which can feed a family of five for 50 years.

The onlookers heard the fat man say that his jade carving was worth a thousand gold, and they suddenly became a little sensational.

Zhang Forget didn't reach out to pick up the jade carving, and asked the fat man with a calm face: "There are only so many famous jades in the world, are you sure you want me to appreciate your jade carving?" Ugly words ahead, if you lose, you have to agree to one of my requests. ”

When the fat man heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "If I lose, I can promise you a request, but you don't want to take my jade carving as already owned!" ”

Zhang Forget laughed: "The jade carving of 300,000 yuan, you are willing to give it to me, I am still afraid of holding it hot." Don't worry, if you lose, just send me a book to someone. ”

The fat man breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!" ”

As he spoke, he handed the jade carving in his hand to Zhang Wang.

Zhang Forget still didn't answer, and said indifferently: "Dushan Jade, there's nothing to see." ”

The fat man didn't expect Zhang Forget to see through the origin of the jade carving in his hand at a glance, and he was greatly embarrassed for a while.

The onlookers saw that the fat man stood up arrogantly, but he was defeated by Zhang Wang's words, and immediately booed.

The fat man was so embarrassed that his face was red, and he said to Zhang Wang: "It's a loss, who does Xiao Langjun want to send the book to, just say it." ”

Zhang Forget commanded the house slave and said to the fat man: "I have a medical book, called "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", can you give it to Zhang Zhongjing of Nanyang Zhang Ji for me?" ”

The fat man was surprised: "How do you know that I am from Nanyang?" ”

Zhang Forget said with a smile: "Dushan jade, Nanyang is precious, you have such a large piece of Dushan jade carving, even if you are not from Nanyang, you will have a time to go to Nanyang." Therefore, it is only fitting that this book is entrusted to you. ”

When the fat man heard this, he admired Zhang Wang's admiration and threw himself to the ground, and after giving a deep salute, he took the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" sent by the house slave, and turned to leave.
