Chapter 256: The Wise Man and the Smart Man
Peach Blossom is very talkative, and it can be seen that this little girl feels new to everything, and she is really a lively and innocent girl.
This night, Zhao Kai slept very comfortably.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Zhao Kai heard the sound, and knew that it was the peach blossom who got up and went out. It didn't take long for the sound to sound again, and Xu is peach blossom had something to do and returned.
Peach Blossom's movements were very light, but they still did not escape Zhao Kai's ears. After the peach blossom left again, Zhao Kai opened his eyes and looked at the bottle of goat's milk left next to his pillow, and the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Zhao Kai picked up the goat's milk pot and shook it, only to hear the chaotic sound of "clang", and after raising his head and drinking a few sips, he got up and put on his clothes and walked out.
I saw that there was already a circle of tents two feet away, and all the people on this side had gone over there.
Today can be regarded as a grand event for Zanghai Village. Because every other month, Han Chinese merchants come here to sell goods, and at the same time, they also buy their special items from the Tibetans in Zanghai Village, and then take them to the Central Plains to sell.
These people are the so-called foot merchants on the rivers and lakes.
Zhao Kai saw Peach Blossom standing in the middle of a group of Tibetans and Han Chinese from a distance, because she was so special, smiling sweetly and talking like a bird.
Her pigtails moved with her head, and her face looked more like a peach blossom in the sun, but she was afraid that there were no such beautiful peach blossoms in the world.
Every time she said a few words, a Tibetan and a Han came out and shook hands, apparently making a deal, and with each deal, her smile became sweeter.
Zhao Kai glanced around, and his eyes suddenly lit up. Because he saw a teenager, and this teenager was very special.
The corners of this young man's mouth always maintained a thief's smile, and he was not obscene, but he was full of cleverness from all over his body. The most peculiar thing is that at a young age, he actually has a long scar on his face, almost from the corner of his eye to the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Xiaoyu, the smartest person in the world.
In Mr. Gu's rivers and lakes, the person who can be called the smartest person in the world must be very smart.
Zhao Kai saw that Xiao Yu'er was just wandering around aimlessly, and saw the door of each tent. There are some rare playthings, strange jewelry. Obviously, the little fish came out of the valley for the first time, and they were still curious about some things.
And at this moment, there was a sudden dispute on Peach Blossom's side. Zhao Kai withdrew his gaze from Jiang Xiaoyu and raised his eyes. I saw that in front of a jewelry stall, Peach Blossom was arguing with a tall and fat man at this time.
The peach blossoms are round open. His face was full of anger. Obviously very angry. But the big man on the opposite side looked a little hideous, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was going to do it if he didn't agree with him.
Zhao Kai frowned slightly, walked over, and heard the specific content.
"Why are you like this, I just touched this pearl flower and it didn't break it at all. You want me to buy it, and it's not as expensive as you say. This pearl flower is worth ten taels of silver at most, and you even asked me for thirty taels with a lion's mouth. Peach Blossom scolded.
And the big man on the other side sneered: "If you break something, you have to pay for it, this is the rule." If you don't give me an explanation today. Don't blame me for being rude. ”
Zhao Kai glanced at the jewelry on the stall, and immediately saw that more than eighty percent of them were fakes, and immediately smiled and walked up. Since Peach Blossom stayed overnight for one night, it was fate, and this kind of trivial thing could naturally help.
Zhao Kai snatched the bead flower from the man's hand, and asked with a smile, "How can this be sold?" ”
It was not the big man who answered just now, but a short and fat man wearing a high hat on the side, and after hearing Zhao Kai's words, the fat man's small fat body was like long grass waves.
Humpty Dumpty grinned and said, "This boy has a really good eye, there are really not many of these good pearls on the market." He looked at Zhao Kai's clothes and was already talking, with years of experience in the rivers and lakes, he could see at a glance that the young man in front of him must be a rich big fat sheep.
Zhao Kai glanced at the peach blossom beside him, and continued to speak: "Boss, just say it, how much is it?"
The fat man smiled "embarrassed" and said, "Four...... Five...... Seventy taels. ”
When Peach Blossom heard this, she raised her eyebrows, opened her mouth and scolded: "Didn't you just need me to lose thirty taels just now, why do you want seventy taels in the blink of an eye!" Why don't you just grab it! ”
Zhao Kai stretched out his hand to hold Peach Blossom's little hand, signaled the other party not to get excited, and smiled at the short and fat man: "Seventy taels? ”
Humpty Dumpty was also a little apprehensive at this time, and said carefully: "Seven...... Seventy taels isn't much, right? ”
"Not much, not much, this pearl flower seems to me to be at least one hundred and forty taels, little brother over there, are you right?" Zhao Kai shouted at Jiang Xiaoyu, who was watching the excitement in the crowd.
After Jiang Xiaoyu heard Zhao Kai's words, he was slightly surprised, because he really didn't expect the other party to notice him. Moreover, Jiang Xiaoyu felt that what this young man who seemed to be a few years older than himself was also very interesting, and it was very suitable for his own appetite.
After leaving the valley, Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly found that there were far more stupid people than smart people in the world, and today it was rare to meet a person who was still smart, so he was very happy.
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, walked up, stretched out his hand and pointed at the bead flower in Zhao Kai's hand, and said, "This bead is fake." ”
Humpty Dumpty's face turned green after hearing this, for fear that the fat duck in his hand would fly, so he hurriedly said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense, if you don't understand, kid!" Fake, who said it was fake, this... Just... It's an insult to me! "When the fat man is not smiling, that face is like a pile of dead meat.
Xiao Yu'er grinned and said, "Since I was two years old, I began to use pearls as marbles, whether this pearl is real or fake, I only need to sniff with my nose to know the Tao." ”
This was said to Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai smiled and said, "I know the way." ”
After hearing Zhao Kai say this, Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up even more, just now he just thought that Zhao Kai was just a little smarter than ordinary people, a little more interesting. And now he suddenly felt that he was wrong, the young man in front of him actually had a talent that did not lose his own.
If Zhao Kai knew Jiang Xiaoyu's inner thoughts at this time, I am afraid that he would be embarrassed. Although Zhao Kai thinks that he is also smart and abnormal, he may not be able to catch up with Jiang Xiaoyu, and Zhao Kai's biggest advantage is just his foresight.
Hearing Zhao Kai say the same, the fat man's face immediately made a look of being wronged, and said, "That...... Then it's sixty taels ......."
But something unexpected came, Jiang Xiaoyu smiled: "You are wrong, real pearls, as long as you fish from the sea, you can have them, but fake pearls take a lot of effort to do, and they are so similar, they should be more expensive than the real ones." It really costs seventy taels, the fake one costs at least one hundred and forty taels, and the alloy is more than two taels, give! ”
Jiang Xiaoyu took out a piece of broken gold from his arms and threw it at the fat man, and then smiled at Zhao: "It's rare to meet a smart person, this pearl flower is regarded as a gift from my little fish to your brother, I don't know what to call it." ”
Zhao Kai was not pretentious, he directly took the pearl flower and put it on the peach blossom head, then he looked back at Jiang Xiaoyu and said with a smile: "Zhao Kai." (To be continued......)
