Volume 1: Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 12 is the icing on the flowers
gave the Fang Zheng a few pennies to make money, and he finally entered the Fang Market. The Fang Market in the Tang Dynasty is the place where the city market is located, and almost all the shops are concentrated in the Fang Market, including the general inns. It usually opens in the early afternoon, closes before sunset, closes the doors, and there is a curfew on the streets. After Ye Neem got into it, he inquired about the shop that was about to open, and learned that the merchant surnamed Qin was not a traveling businessman, but also a small storefront, so he went straight to the other party's store, knocked on the door for a while, and only then did he hear someone muttering and scolding and running to open the door.
"What's the matter?" The man was a strong black man, but after opening the door, he didn't let Ye Neem in, but looked wolf-sided, looking like he had been disturbed by his dreams.
"There's big business coming to the door." Ye Neem arched his hand: "Lang Jun is Qin Gong of Qinyang?" ”
"The servant is not." The black strong man turned around and shouted: "Goro, Goro, there is business coming to the door!" ”
"Oh? I asked why the magpie was crying happily this morning, it turned out that the distinguished guest came to the door early in the morning...... But Xita, it's not time to open the door yet, so you can ask the guests to wait. ”
"Can't wait, can't wait!" Ye Neem suddenly shouted when he heard this: "I have an urgent need, and I bother Lang Jun to come out to see me!" ”
"You are so unreasonable, before noon, the market will not be opened, let you wait, you will wait!" The strong man, known as Xi Ta, shouted, "Go away, go away, and wait for me to close the door!" ”
"I'm going to buy all your remaining bamboos, all of them!" Neem shouted.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Xi Ta didn't chase him anymore, and shouted to the back: "This is a big customer, Gorou, you better come out to see him!" ”
"No matter how big the customer is, if you don't have time, you won't do business. Half of the bamboo in our store has been bought, and the remaining half has also been ordered these days, telling him that we are out of stock. ”
Without waiting for Xi Ta to relay, Ye Neem was already in a hurry.
The one who ordered the remaining half of the bamboo on the other party is very likely to be Ye Chang!
If it was really Ye Chang who ordered the remaining half of the goods, then he might be able to bypass the mountain and really bring the water to the slope.
"I'm willing to buy the bamboo you have in your store at a high price, at a high price!" Ye Neem said again.
"High price? A bamboo is only two cents, and some of the better ones are only three cents, and I still have three hundred, and if you pay a high price, it will be nine hundred cents...... For the sake of 900 Wen, let me lose my reputation? The people in the house were also angry: "Drive him away, Xi Ta, if he doesn't go, call the fangding!" ”
"Four pieces of paper!" Neem shouted.
"Hurry!" There is no hesitation inside.
"Wuwen!" Neem gritted her teeth!
"Hurry!" The strong black man who was called Xi Ta began to move.
"Liuwen!" Neem was almost hoarse.
"Xi Ta, you don't want to do it, why don't you hurry?"
Ye Neem raised the price to double the best price on weekdays, but he still failed to impress Qin Qinshou, he was pushed out of the store by the black strong man, he walked away stupidly, turned a few steps, and heard the black strong man behind him spit on the ground: "It's a distinguished guest, but it's a fool who wants us to smash the signboard......"
At this time, businessmen also regard trustworthiness as beauty, and it is really a difficult thing for a strong man to betray his trust. If you go back like this, you will no longer eat a broom, but you will have to eat a rolling pin, and more importantly, let the little animal become a problem, and it will be almost impossible to attack his property in the future. Even the real estate with the fields under the name of the three branches is still worth two or three hundred yuan, which is too much compared to the money to buy bamboo.
Besides, if people fight for a breath, they can't make those belongings for the sake of those belongings, and they can't make the little beast proud!
As soon as he thought of this, Ye Neem turned around again: "Ten Wen, I'll give ten Wen!" ”
"It's unreasonable for you to be a good guy, my family Wulang has said it, if you don't do your business, don't say ten wen, it's fifteen wen, you have to go away obediently!"
The black strong man Xi Ta picked up the latch of the door, and it looked like he was about to hit the neem, and a tall black-faced man came out of it at this time: "Don't say fifteen wen, it's eighteen wen, I'm just thinking about it......"
"Twenty Wen!" Finally seeing the Qinyang people, Ye Neem knew that this was his most embarrassing opportunity, and gritted his teeth and quoted a super high price.
In fact, the bamboo of three wen was quoted by him for twenty wen, which is already the sky-high price. At this time, it was the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, and the price of grain was relatively stable, and fifteen yuan could buy a bucket of rice, and an adult man ate six buckets of rice a month, which was only ninety yuan. After Ye Neem shouted out twenty texts, he was also stunned, and then gritted his teeth: "If I hadn't been in a hurry to wait for the bamboo to be used, and I wouldn't have opened it at such a price, I wouldn't have been able to afford it again, so I could only go to other places to buy it!" ”
"Really...... Twenty texts? Qin Qinshou, a native of Qinyang, hesitated.
"That's nature!"
"I still have 300 bamboos here......"
"That's six thousand texts!" Ye Neem gritted his teeth again and beckoned to the servant, who handed him the bag he was carrying on his shoulder.
"Lang Jun is with you...... With so many copper coins? Qin Qinshou was shocked when he saw him like this.
Six thousand wen, that is, six guan money, if it is folded into the era before Ye Chang came, this is twenty-five kilograms of copper, how easy to carry on the body! Ye Neem grinned, took the bag in his hand and checked it again, he was very reluctant in his heart, but he still handed it over: "There are three runs here, you can click on it!" ”
Qin Qinshou took the money bag and counted it one by one, and sure enough, it was 3,000 wen. He put down the money bag and hesitated: "It's still half the ......"
"I still have it here!"
Ye Neem took out a purse from his arms, and after opening it, there was a silk handkerchief inside, and then opened the silk handkerchief, and inside were three small yellow gold bills. Ye Neem incremented one of them: "Full of real gold, five coins a piece, you can call it!" ”
This is the treasure at the bottom of the box of Liu's mother's marriage, Ye Neem couldn't take out so much copper money for a while, so he begged to offset it, and promised to return the property of the three branches after getting it. After Qin Qinshou weighed the weight, he nodded: "If you calculate it at the price of Chang'an gold, it is exactly worth three times...... It's just that 6,000 Wen is used to buy 300 bamboos, distinguished guests, with all due respect, Lang Jun will definitely regret it afterwards. ”
"No regrets!"
"There is no basis for what he said, if Lang Jun brings a bunch of bamboos to find a servant two days later, the servant can't afford to deal with it."
"I would like to make a note!"
Although Ye Neem himself is not very literate, there are naturally poor scholars in the Fang City of Xiuwu County who specialize in writing words for others, and he invited Fang Zheng and his neighbors to be Chinese, and soon set up a note. To do such a big business, those Chinese people also received three or five Wen as a thank you gift. After all this was completed, the city drum over there began to beat, and Qin Qinshou smiled and bowed his hand to Ye Neem: "Sure enough, it's a distinguished guest...... Now that the market has just opened, can you go with me to order those bamboos? ”
"No, it's here." Where is the neem willing to go.
"Okay, okay, Xi Ta, go make a pot of tea, and I'll drink a cup with your guests."
The purpose of Ye Neem's stay is to see Ye Chang's jokes.
When he learned that Ye Chang had also entered the city, he knew that this guy must have come to buy bamboo, and it cost six dollars, if he didn't see Ye Chang's expression from full of hope to despair, Ye Neem would feel that his thoughts were not compatible.
After 300 city drums were beaten, the city door was opened, all kinds of customers came in, and the shops in the market began to sing and sell. Ye Chang walked into this city, listening to the singing of various tunes, and seeing all kinds of signboards, for a while, he couldn't help but be a little in a trance.
The county commercial street of the Tang Dynasty is also lively - although it is only like a farmers' market in a small town in later generations, although the sparrows are small, they are full of organs. However, although it is lively, in such a crowded situation, if there is a fire, the situation will not be good. In particular, the streets outside the square are narrow, and it is easy to spread to the rest of the houses.
He walked away, followed by Ye Shu and Liu Kun, only this brother and brother-in-law were the people he trusted better, and the two of them had to come to do what they came to do today.
"This way, over here." Liu Kun smiled and pointed the way: "The Qinyang people's shop is here." ”
Ye Chang soon arrived in front of the shop, and saw a flag hanging in front of the shop from a distance, and the flag was embroidered with the word "bamboo". Ye Chang was in a happy mood, so he couldn't help but chant a poem from his descendants: "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo, no meat makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar......"
Ye Neem, who was sitting in the shop, sneered: "This little animal can also make limericks!" ”
Qin Qinshou arched his hand: "This little Langjun outside is a wonderful person, go and see it, please sit down." ”
After speaking, he walked out, and when he saw Liu Kun, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Hey, it turned out to be you?" ”
"It's me, the store still remembers me, and the customer I talked to the store about last time was my uncle." Liu Kundao.
Ye Neem, who was sitting inside, sneered again, he was originally a little strange in his heart, when did Ye Chang buy those bamboos, but now he realized that it was Liu Kun who did it.
Liu Kun is an unappreciated side branch of the Liu family in Xiaoliu Village, a potter, and he even dares to come forward to do things for Ye Chang. Ye Neem secretly wondered in her heart whether to let her fierce wife go back to her parents' house, so that Liu Kun also suffered a little.
"Xiao Langjun just read a good poem, and the servant has a reluctant request, willing to leave Xiao Langjun's poem in the store...... I don't know if it's possible? ”
Although it was noon, there were no transparent glass windows, so the store was still dark. Ye Chang and the others stood in the light, and Ye Neem sat in the dark, so Ye Chang and the others did not realize that there were people inside. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Ye Chang smiled and said: "This poem was originally written by someone else, I am just a country man, where do I know how to write poems, the master wants to use it, just use it." ”
"Thank you so much, but I don't know who the author of this poem is?"
The literary style of the Tang Dynasty is also flourishing, especially after the opening of the imperial examination of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, the style of poetry prevails, and the lone poem covers the whole Tang Dynasty Zhang Yanghao, the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty, etc., which can be described as brilliant in poetry. Although Qin Qinshou is a businessman, the Qinyang Qin family is also a big family, and he also has a bit of a poetry and book heirloom, so he has some vassal and elegant thoughts. He asked the author of this poem, but Ye Chang was embarrassed, did he tell him that it was written by a bearded and pot-bellied sullen man named Su Shi hundreds of years later?
"Ahem...... Mr. Qin ate an egg and thought it was delicious, did he have to know which chicken was laying the egg? Ye Chang asked.
Qin Qinshou was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized in his heart: This poem must have been done by the young man in front of him, but he was modest and low-key and didn't want to say it.
Although the poem is simple, the meaning is long, Qin Qinshou solemnly bowed his hand: "Please, please come in and talk." ”
Ye Chang finally stepped into the door of the store under his repeated invitations.
Qin Qinshou's shop, bamboo is only one of the goods, and many other bamboo products are piled up in the store. Ye Chang's eyes only adjusted to the light in the meantime, and he saw Ye Neem sneering on his face.
"Little animal, when you see me, you still don't salute?" Ye Neem shouted.
"It turns out that Uncle Changzhi is here." Ye Chang smiled and saluted: "Rude, rude." ”
"You little beast, you can still chant poetry? It's just that your poems don't make sense, what no flesh makes people thin, and no bamboo makes people vulgar...... I think it's the lack of bamboo that makes people cry! Ye Neem was reprimanded, but when he got the last sentence, he laughed.
He just wanted to watch Ye Chang cry here, thinking that Ye Chang had a sharp tongue and squeezed himself into a speechless state, he now felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
However, before he could laugh, he felt that the atmosphere seemed to be a little wrong.
The shopkeeper, Qin Qinshou, looked at him with puzzled eyes, while Ye Shu and Liu Kun, who were following Ye Chang, looked at him in his eyes...... Seems to have a hint of pity?
Ye Neem's mind turned around, and he stared at Ye Chang again, and found that there was something indescribable in Ye Chang's expression, but he was definitely not panicked. This made Ye Neem very unhappy, and his thoughts were naturally incomprehensible, so he decided not to hide it anymore.
"Little animal, I have bought all the bamboos here, you can get out, I want to see how you can get together so many bamboos in a few days!" Ye Neem said, and then laughed loudly.
Ye Chang stared at him until his laughter stopped, and then he shook his head: "Uncle Changzhi bought the bamboo in this store?" ”
"That's nature!" Ye Neem said gloomily: "You little beast, kneel down and beg me, I will read that you are cousins with your dead ghost biological father, or I will give you one or two!" ”
"Presumably bought it at a high price?" Ye Chang said again.
"Hmph, I love to pay a high price, what does it have to do with you?" Melia Road.
Ye Chang shook his head again: "Tsk." ”
This reaction was completely unexpected by Ye Chang, Ye Neem was still waiting to see Ye Chang crying heartbroken, he paused, and was wondering why Ye Chang was like this, when he saw Ye Chang arch his hand towards Qin Qinshou: "Congratulations." ”
Qin Qinshou looked a little strange, and returned the salute with a fist: "Rejoice and rejoice." ”
Ye Chang said: "When my brother-in-law came that day, he should have made it clear to the shopkeeper, right?" ”
"Yes, that's clear."
"In this case, according to our agreement, the troublesome shopkeeper will settle the account."
Qin Qinshou beckoned to Xi Ta, and Xi Ta took out a bag, and Ye Neem's eyes suddenly fell: he remembered that Qin Qinshou collected his copper coins and gold collars, and stuffed them into it!
"It's ...... What's going on? He was a little confused, but he was already vaguely uneasy.
Qin Qinshou handed over the pouch containing the three pieces of money and gold collar to Ye Chang, and arched his hand again: "Please Xiao Langjun to count." ”
"It's okay, I can trust Shopkeeper Qin." Ye Chang smiled and handed the money bag to Liu Kun, and said to Qin Qinshou: "We still have other things, so we will leave." ”
